【Want to go to the bathroom? I saw a restroom on the way here; I can give you directions.】@@@@ The system spoke up. Ji Nian: "........." Whether it's the people around her or the system, they're all too concerned about her bathroom needs! 【Not that】【Chen Mo seems off】【Didn't you notice his walking speed is slower than usual? At first, I thought he was being considerate of me, but that's not the case】【And his complexion is quite poor...】 Perhaps the previous dream had made Ji Nian more attentive to Chen Mo's health. Once the seed of suspicion is planted, the desire to investigate becomes unstoppable. Ji Nian followed Officer Wang Wang to handle the case involving the elephant and the rabbit. In the end, the elephant, under the intervention of Officer Wang Wang, apologized to the rabbit and promised never to sneak and take its tissues for wiping again while it was sleeping. It also compensated with a lot of carrots. The rabbit, which had been too afraid to speak out, was grateful to Ji Nian for involving Officer Wang Wang and gave her a carrot-shaped necklace as a token of gratitude. Made of pure gold, it was heavy in her hand, with the carrot being about half the size of her palm. There was also a golden rabbit holding a carrot, with two clear emeralds embedded where its eyes should be. Ji Nian was momentarily stunned. Wow, what a wealthy rabbit. But she quickly caught on that this must have been a gift arranged by Chen Mo in advance for Ji Nian. So, she put the necklace around her neck and turned back to find Chen Mo. On the way, the animal characters greeted her warmly, their acting skills impeccable as they seemed to treat her like the first human they'd ever seen. Even a bear asked if Ji Nian wanted to touch its ears. The experience was wonderful. There seemed to be more events waiting for Ji Nian to trigger, but she had lost interest and just wanted to return to Chen Mo. When she finally made it back to the police station, Chen Mo was sitting on an outside mushroom stool, his eyes seemingly focused on something far away. The surroundings were bustling, yet despite sitting right there, Ji Nian felt as though he might drift away at any moment, like something she couldn't quite grasp. "Uncle!" Ji Nian called out to him. The distant figure returned, and Chen Mo turned his head as if his soul had been called back by that one word. "Nian Nian's back." He smiled faintly and waved his hand at the child. Ji Nian approached and noticed his complexion seemed even more tired than before. The little gray rabbit said its uncle treated it well and often gave it gifts. Ji Nian reassured, "Then you're not alone; you still have your uncle behind you." Previously focused only on sorrow, the little gray rabbit seemed to find its bearings and nodded, as if it had found a pillar of support. Ji Nian realized what Chen Mo was trying to convey. The concerns Chen Mo had, Ji Nian had also pondered. In ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍her past life, there had been times of familial harmony, though they were too brief, and the swift change left her bewildered for a long time. Why had her loving parents suddenly transformed overnight? Reborn, Ji Nian's perspective was that one should not imagine what hasn't happened and enjoy the present. Certainly, Ji Tingzhou currently doted on her wholeheartedly, and the two years of living together had allowed her to develop some trust in him. But if Chen Mo's concerns ever came to pass, Ji Nian wouldn't protest, as she had always been prepared to leave since arriving here. Understanding Chen Mo's intention, Ji Nian didn't feel repelled; instead, she treated this as a simulation. If such an event occurred during her childhood, when she couldn't yet live independently, how should she handle it? The group arrived at the gray rabbit uncle's house across the river. Unexpectedly, despite knocking for a long time, there was no response. Instead, the fox next door was drawn out. Recognizing the little gray rabbit, it called out, "Little Gray!!" The little gray rabbit anxiously asked, "Uncle Fox, have you seen my uncle?" The fox sighed. Ji Nian had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Uncle Fox then said, "Little Gray, your uncle passed away last week. Didn't your dad tell you?" Like the little gray rabbit, Ji Nian was taken aback. What was Chen Mo trying to convey? She almost forced herself not to turn and look at Chen Mo immediately. The little gray rabbit broke down. Dad didn't want it, and its uncle had passed away; where could it go? Fortunately, the fox said, "Your uncle left the house and his inheritance to you. You should go to the owl notary office and ask." So, they rushed over. Originally, Ji Nian thought that helping the little gray rabbit claim its uncle's inheritance would complete the task. But that wasn't the case. What followed, or rather, what Chen Mo wanted her to see, made her eyelids twitch.
