Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Reunion is Like a First Encounter

The familiar light clung to Xiao Jinsheng and made her figure fade increasingly from Shi Xie’s perspective.

It resembled the beam that had lit up out of nowhere and shone into his arms on the beach yesterday.

And as the warm light condensed and formed, what appeared in his embrace was Xiao Jinsheng.

"Wasn’t it supposed to be 48 hours?" Shi Xie stared at Xiao Jinsheng’s already semi-transparent figure amid the glow, his voice trembling in panic.

Xiao Jinsheng looked down at her fading form and thought of Bai Yan.

According to the timeline told by the Insect Brain to Bai Yan, she should still have over twenty hours left in this timeline.

Evidently, the Insect Brain could take Bai Yan back seven years.

It also had the ability to send Bai Yan back prematurely.

With Bai Yan’s personality, her aim this time was Shi Xie. She wouldn’t return before achieving her goal; surely, she wouldn’t give up so easily.

But now that she was leaving ahead of schedule, something unexpected had clearly happened.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinsheng almost burst out laughing in schadenfreude.

Just as the corners of her lips curled upward, she met Shi Xie’s hurt-filled gaze.

"You’re leaving, and you’re happy about it?" Shi Xie hesitated.

"No, sweetheart, listen to me," Xiao Jinsheng hurriedly explained, "I was laughing because an enemy of mine is in misfortune."

"Shi Xie, do you trust me?" Xiao Jinsheng was anxious.

She could especially feel the flow of time accelerating, like a fast-forward button pressing her toward the future.

She could only utter a few parting words:

"I’m so sorry; we’ve only just met, yet I already have to say goodbye."

"When the Ice Sea Flower blooms, we will meet again."

Reunion is the first meeting.

The first meeting is a reunion.

Listening to Xiao Jinsheng’s words, Shi Xie was now entirely certain that Xiao Jinsheng came from the future.

At the very least, for their future reencounter to happen, she had to leave.

But the time between their meeting and departure was far too short.

So short that it lasted only seven hours.
