If your four-year-old self suddenly stood in front of you, would you recognize her?
Lu Tongtong clearly did not recognize her.
Her gaze fell on the bow on the Little Little Deer's head; she had loved wearing the same one when she was a child.
Looking at the Little Little Deer's dirty face again, the Little Deer deer still couldn't calm down.
How could a four-year-old version of myself be with Qin Ze in his teenage years?
Lu Tongtong originally planned to take Little Little Deer to the Law Enforcement Department, but Little Little Deer changed direction and encountered Qin Ze.
In other words, even if Little Little Deer hadn't met him, she would have followed her intuition to "accidentally" meet Qin Ze.
"He... is that the kind person?"
The Little Deer looked at Qin Ze, her gaze gradually softening from surprise.
Her abilities were innate, awakened almost the moment she opened her eyes.
As a child, she couldn't use her abilities, but her Deduction reasoning often led her to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages—what Little Little Deer called intuition.
But Little Deer still couldn't understand why the young Qin Ze would save her when she was a child; the timeline didn't make sense.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for? Aren't you going to eat something?"
Qin Ze raised his right hand and waved it in front of Lu Tongtong.
"Oh, I'll eat."
The Little Deer snapped out of its daze and sat down next to the Little Little Deer.
"I want to sit in the middle!"
The Little Little Deer climbed over the Little Deer's leg, pushing the Little Deer aside so that it could stand next to Qin Ze.
The Little Deer twitched the corner of its mouth, finding the scene inexplicably absurd.
Qin Ze pinched the Little Little Deer's nose. "So your name is Lu Tongtong. Knowing your name makes things easier. I'll take you to see your parents tomorrow."
"Speaking of which, aren't you afraid I'm the big bad wolf and will eat you up?"
As he spoke, Qin Ze made a funny face, which made the little girl giggle.
A voice in my head told me, "Big brother isn't a bad person! He's a good person!"
Qin Ze immediately looked at Little Little Deer with newfound respect. "A voice in your head? Good heavens, at such a young age, she's already a gifted individual, a future empress! Does this mean I've already latched onto a powerful figure?"
The Little Deer really wanted to say that the thigh was right in front of her right now.
The Little Little Deer lifted its leg and looked at it, asking in confusion, "My legs aren't that big, are they?"
Qin Ze hurriedly pushed the delicious food in front of Little Little Deer: "Come on, eat, eat!"
"If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me. If you become a powerful figure in the future, never forget your big brother."
As he spoke, Qin Ze took the small cake from Little Deer's hand and placed it in front of Little Little Deer.
Little Deer was speechless at Qin Ze's attitude.
Those long legs are right next to you, and you don't even glance at them.
The Little Little Deer said happily, "I won't forget! I'm going to go begging for food all over the world with my big brother in the future!"
Qin Ze gave a thumbs up. "Great ambition! From now on, the two of us will be a professional team."
"To grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories."
The Little Little Deer's cheeks were stuffed full, and it mumbled indistinctly, "Beat Huihuang again."
The Little Little Deer, having eaten and drunk its fill, lay sprawled on the bed, fast asleep.
Qin Ze and Little Deer squatted on the ground, staring at each other.
"You can go sleep with her, and I'll keep watch for you."
The Little Deer shook its head. "You should go to sleep too."
For someone at Level Seven, whether she sleeps or not is irrelevant.
Moreover, even when she is asleep, no sound or movement around her can escape her mental power, so there is no need to keep watch at night.
Qin Ze misunderstood, and his expression turned strange. "Isn't it inappropriate for the two of us to sleep together? Don't set a bad example for the child."
The Little Deer rolled its eyes dramatically. "Go sleep on the floor."
Then, as if by magic, Little Deer produced a blanket and threw it on Qin Ze.
Qin Ze was wrapped in a blanket and slept on the floor beside the bed, while Little Deer and Little Little Deer slept on the bed.
Little Deer said softly, "I know where she lives now. We'll take her home together tomorrow."
In reality, Qin Ze also took Little Little Deer home, but without Little Deer as a compass, it took two extra days.
Qin Ze thought to himself, "These young ladies have finished experiencing the hardships of life and are preparing to go home."
The Little Deer asked casually, in a conversational tone, "Is this where you live?"
Qin Ze was silent for a moment, then said, "No, actually I don't know how I got here either."
"You have amnesia?"
I guess so.
Little Deer has confirmed that in reality, it was Qin Ze, the boy, who took her home.
Where did the young Qin Ze come from?
Surely it couldn't be that someone traveled across the river of time specifically to save themselves.
The Little Deer seemed to be talking to itself. "I actually have a similar ability to Lu Tongtong."
As soon as she said that, Little Deer felt something was off. Was it like me?
Qin Ze: "Good heavens, your family's abilities are all wholesale, right?"
The Little Deer said to itself, "Ever since I can remember, my abilities have always told me that Human Race will face an apocalyptic crisis in the future..."
Qin Ze couldn't help but say, "So, do you need me to give you 50 V's to buy you a life-saving ability?"
The Little Deer pouted, "How annoying! Can't you let me finish what I'm saying?"
After a moment of silence, the Little Deer asked again, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Qin Ze shrugged. "Didn't you tell me to wait until you finished speaking?"
The Little Deer clutched the blanket tightly. This person is so annoying!
After a moment, she organized her thoughts and continued, "This crisis concerns the survival of Human Race, and someone can fight against it. My abilities can be of assistance to him."
A blurry figure vaguely appeared in the Little Deer's mind.
She wasn't sure if she had seen that figure before, or if it was something Deduction her abilities.
Qin Ze became interested. "So you've been looking for that person who spoke of abilities?"
"Um."
"Did you find it?"
Little Deer Lu couldn't help but picture Qin Ze's face. "I guess... we've found him."
Qin Ze sighed, "You're really lucky. I've been looking for my way home, but I haven't been able to find it."
After a moment of silence, the Little Deer said, "I hope you return home soon."
Qin Ze: "I also wish you a speedy resolution to the global crisis."
Then came a long silence.
No work to be done that night.
The next morning, the Little Little Deer, still half-asleep, was woken up.
Qin Ze picked up the little girl and left the three-story villa.
Led by Lu Tongtong, the three of them arrived safely at the gate of Lu Jia.
The Little Little Deer immediately perked up, pointed at the gate, clapped its hands, and said, "That's my home!"
The Little Deer stopped in its tracks, and Qin Ze, holding the Little Little Deer, knocked on the tightly closed door.
A middle-aged man opened the villa's gate and was taken aback by the scene before him.
"Daddy!"
"Girl!"
The man wept with joy as he took the Little Little Deer from Qin Ze.
Thank you, thank you all!
Qin Ze waved his hand. "This is what an outstanding young person should do. It's getting late, I still have to go get... work."
Upon hearing this, Little Little Deer immediately forgot about her father and turned to say, "I want to go too!"
Qin Ze smiled and said, "Your current task is to grow up obediently. When you grow up, our professional team will go and save the world together!"
The Little Little Deer sticks out its pinky finger. "Pinky promise!"
Qin Ze: "Pinky promise."
Upon hearing the words "save the world," the Little Deer became momentarily dazed.
At this moment, Qin Ze's figure standing in front of the Lu Family's gate gradually overlapped with the blurry outline in her mind.
What are you spacing out for again?
Qin Ze turned around and waved to Little Deer.
The Little Deer smiled and said, "I'm sure now, I've found that person."
Qin Ze scratched his head. "Really? Congratulations."
The surrounding scenery gradually blurred, and the distance between Little Deer and Qin Ze rapidly increased.
The Little Deer murmured to itself, "Finally... I've found you."
Once everything had completely dissolved into nothingness, a wisp of energy appeared in the void and flowed into Lu Tongtong's dantian.
