Chi Yining didn't quite understand. "How did you arrive at that conclusion?"
Yan Guiyun felt that mere words were insufficient evidence, so he picked up his notebook, opened it, and clicked on a separate file on the desktop. The filename was: Records of Strange and Unusual Events.
Chi Yining thought it looked quite interesting, so she clicked on it and found a list of many stories.
He spotted a few words: possession.
Interesting, Chi Yining clicked to take a look:
In a certain dynasty, a domineering man drowned, but miraculously revived three days later. After his resurrection, his personality changed drastically, but he became similar to his childhood self, gentle and polite. This man said that he had returned from another world, where his body had been possessed by an unclean entity for a long time, and he had expelled the other soul from his body after his return.
Chi Yining: "But that happened a long time ago, so it can't be verified. Besides, some people just rebel, like during adolescence, and sudden personality changes are normal."
Yan Guiyun: "You're right, there are many more cases below."
Chi Yining hadn't expected Yan Guiyun to spend so much time collecting this information.
" Brother Yan, are you trying to study me?" Chi Yining suddenly had this thought and asked.
"No, I'm worried that you might disappear without a trace someday. I'm unsure of what to do, so I've been investigating. I want to see more cases like yours, and I want to know if they can continue to exist indefinitely."
Yan Guiyun hugged Chi Yining tightly, his voice hoarse and low, his tone always revealing pity and unease.
Chi Yining, recalling the words that had frightened Yan Guiyun before, felt a little guilty. "So, what about now? Have you calculated the probability yet?"
Yan Guiyun nestled in the crook of Chi Yining's neck, where her hair was draped with long, messy wolf-tail strands. "Hmm, I've calculated it. They've all settled down and are living in peace and prosperity. There are also some people who have driven technological development, but they're rather mysterious, and much of it can't be found online."
Chi Yining patted Yan Guiyun on the back. "What are you afraid of? You're perfectly fine, aren't you? Why are you sad?"
"Yeah, I'm scared." He made no attempt to hide his vulnerability. He had never forced Chi Yining to do anything, except for that fishing trip, when he realized that Chi Yining was not someone who only needed protection.
Yan Guiyun's occasional show of weakness gives Chi Yining great satisfaction. Chi Yining is also a man, so the protective instinct is something men are born with.
" Brother Yan, as long as you love me well, I won't disappear." Chi Yining repeated the same words, the same words he wanted to tie Yan Guiyun down. Although they made people a little uneasy, he wanted Brother Yan to cherish him.
Yan Guiyun: "I will always love you, and I will keep my promise. But I'm afraid of things that I can't control, those kinds of uncontrollable events, which terrify me."
Yan Guiyun is right. When he can't get a reassuring answer, he will try to find the answer he wants.
I won't feel at ease until I see it; otherwise, I'll keep thinking about it over and over in my mind.
Yan Guiyun never mentioned that she was a person who was prone to anxiety and insecurity; she simply searched for answers on her own and never put pressure on him.
Chi Yining gently pushed Yan Guiyun away and continued reading; many of the articles were quite interesting.
After reading the ancient version
Some are into agriculture, some into food, and some even want to get into cement. The one who wanted to Transmigration cement said he regretted being a terrible student because he had no idea what cement was—a mixture of different substances!
Chi Yining: " Brother Yan, why can't I find these things online?"
