In 202x, the imperial capital.

On a sunny afternoon, Taoti slowly opened her eyes.

The snow-white ceiling, simple moonlights, and Nordic gray pink three-layer curtains—

Wait, is it the wrong way she opened her eyes?

She closed her eyes again and silently recited in her heart:

Three, two, one!

Open your eyes again, and everything in front of you is still modern.

There is no big banyan tree in the Lishan Palace, no rocking chair carved by yellow rosewood, no crabapple flowers blooming in the courtyard, no great-granddaughter holding a cat and singing nursery rhymes, and no... her fairy-like old husband.

Pei Yan.

Her Pei Yan.

Tao Ti suddenly became anxious, her eyes turned red with anxious eyes.

She is back, what should Pei Yan do?

She didn't have time to eat the eight treasure tea he cooked, and she clearly made an appointment to cook a hot pot of health mushrooms together that night.

Tao Ti sat up from the bed with a loss and stared at her modern bedroom. The decorations were exactly the same as before she traveled through time, but at this moment, she seemed so familiar and so strange.

She turned her head to look at the electronic alarm clock beside her, which said May 17, 202x.

It only took seven days before she traveled through time with poisonous mushrooms.

She lived in Dayuan for almost seventy years, and in the modern world, it was just a seven-day dream.

Tao Ti sat on the bed in a daze, unable to come back to her senses.

She felt her eyes a little sore and was about to raise her hand to rub it when she glimpsed a red rope tied to her right wrist.

Her heart suddenly moved, and the red rope was still there.

She and Pei Yan wore the first red rope for a long time, and then the color completely faded, so Pei Yan took her back to Baiyun Temple in Luoyang.

The little novice monks at that time also became a great monk. He hung the old red rope on the tall and lush marriage tree and tied them a new red rope.

Afterwards, every ten years, they would go to Luoyang to change to a new red rope.

This one has been replaced less than three months ago recently.

When changing the rope, she also pulled the hook with Pei Yan, agreeing that both of them should work hard to survive until the next ten years and then change to a new red rope together.

Unexpectedly, she had broken the appointment first.

Tao Ti lowered her head and gently stroked her slender fingers on the red rope between her wrist.

Tears, like beads with broken threads, rolled down from their sore and swollen eyes.

It seemed as if an invisible hand was tightly pinching her heart, and endless sadness enveloped her, and she felt that she was almost dead.

Silent tears gradually became uncontrollable crying-

"Pei Yan, Pei Yan..."

She cried so loudly, heartbreakingly.

Hearing this movement, Tao’s parents, who were sitting in the large yard eating watermelons, were stunned.

"Husband, this voice...is our daughter crying?"

"It seems. This little girl is finally willing to come back."

"Hurry, hurry up and go and see why I cry so sadly when I wake up." Tao's mother put the watermelon in her hand and took out a wet wipe to wipe her hands.

"It must be missing us!"

Dad Tao also stood up, followed his wife and went to the room together.

As soon as the bedroom door was opened, Tao’s parents saw her daughter sitting on the bed crying so hard that she was out of breath.

Even though my daughter had only been away for seven days, Tao's father and mother's heart were about to break when she saw her baby's daughter crying so hard.

"Ati, what's wrong? Don't cry or cry. Now I'm back, it's okay." Tao Ma walked forward with a look of distress.

Hearing a familiar and gentle voice, Tao Ti cried and raised her head to look at the door.

I saw Tao's mother wearing a light blue loose cheongsam, long hair draped over her shoulders, and a well-maintained face. She looked like a gentle and intellectual big sister in her thirties.

Behind her, Dad Tao was wearing a black green coat. He was tall, had an extremely majestic face, a short beard, and looked fierce, with a full-blooded villain appearance. But Tao Ti knew that his father's majestic appearance had a soft and kind fatherly heart.

Yes, it's what her parents look like.

"Dad, mom--"

Taoti shouted in a crying voice.

"Hey, my good daughter." Tao's mother walked to the bed, opened her arms and hugged Tao Ti in her arms, and her voice was choked.

Dad Tao stood aside, with a serious national face and a little moved. He kept nodding and said, "Just come back."

Tao's mother comforted her daughter, but the more she cried in her arms, the more fierce she became.

The couple gradually came back to the feeling that their daughter was so sad, probably because she missed them.

"Okay, OK, stop crying. If you cry a little louder, the neighbor next door will laugh at you when he hears it."

"Mom, I'm sad..."

"Well, tell me why I feel sad?"

"I, I..."

Tao Ti left Tao's mother's arms, her beautiful almond eyes were crying red and swollen, and she glanced at Tao's father hesitantly.

Tao's mother immediately understood, turned her head and gave Dad a wink, "Husband, you go out first, and send a message to the family group, saying that our Ati is back and report them safety."

"good."

"By the way, husband, go buy some more vegetables and make some special dishes tonight to celebrate my daughter's return."

Dad Tao responded, before leaving, he looked at his daughter deeply and said in a gentle tone that was extremely inconsistent with his image, "Girl, stop crying, my dad makes you braised prawns tonight, buy more than ten pounds, and you can enjoy it at one time."

Tao Ti felt warm and forced an ugly smile to Tao's father.

When Dad Tao left the bedroom, he took the door with him considerately.

After only the mother and daughter were left, Tao's mother stared at her daughter's fair and beautiful little face and raised her eyebrows, "Come on, let me guess, are you reluctant to part with the husband you are in Yuanchao?"

Tao Ti was slightly stunned, "Mom, how do you know?"

"Qiongqi said that, she really praised him after she came back. She said you like that man and gave birth to a pair of children for him. She also said that he treats you very well, is very gentle, and looks very beautiful..."

"It's not just good-looking." Taoti added, sucking her nose, "It's very good-looking, the kind that's great-looking."

After she finished speaking, Pei Yan's appearance at different ages immediately appeared in her mind, with her handsomeness and beauty when she was young, her majestic maturity when she was middle-aged, and her fairy-like body in her old age...

Tao's mother stroked her hair and sighed softly, "Okay, don't be sad, those things...you just treat them as a dream."

A dream.

Tao Ti felt a sense of sadness.

Yes, from the moment she fell in love with Pei Yan, she should have known that sooner or later this day would be like this.

She leaned against Tao's mother's arms and said a lot, saying about her little things in the Dayuan Dynasty, talking about her good friends, and her Ah Xu and Taotao, of course, the most she said was her husband.

She laughed and cried.

Laughing is laughing at their sweet and happy past; crying is feeling uncomfortable when she thinks that all the sweets have become the past.

Tao's mother listened quietly to her, and finally saw that she was tired of crying, she cast a sleeping spell on her to give her a good rest.

She covered her daughter with a quilt, stared deeply for a moment, and walked out of the room slowly.

Dad Tao just came back from buying vegetables. When he saw his wife coming out, he hurriedly asked, "How is Ati?"

"Hostled by love."

Tao's mother shook her head and sighed, "After this trip, our daughter has really grown up."

Dad Tao frowned, and his already majestic face suddenly became even more scary. He snorted coldly, "That human boy is so capable that he actually deceived our Ati's heart."

"She just woke up and it's normal that she couldn't accept it for a while. It should be fine if she gets used to it in a few days."

"Well, I hope so."

Tao's father thought to himself, if it's not good, he could go to the underworld to see where the boy was reincarnated. As long as he could make his daughter happy, he would take the guy back to his daughter even if he violated the laws of heaven.

Of course, if a daughter can put aside this relationship, it is naturally the best.

After all, there are a lot of promising young people in the fairy world who choose their daughters, so why bother to hang themselves from a human being?

****

In the blink of an eye, Taoti has been back to modern times for a week.

These days, she was able to fall asleep by relying on the sleeping spell, and lived a mess.
