Creating her own story?
What kind of world was this, after all? Was it her world, or his?
Jin Ru had taken a day off from work to calm down. She was clearly still here, her company was still here, so this must be her real world, right?
But before Jin Ru's eyes stood the entire building of KT Group. In her small memory of the past four years, everything was still the same. This was the building she had once entered to meet Chen Jiancheng.
Thinking of him, her heart suddenly beat faster. Was Heaven pitying her? Was Heaven giving her a chance to meet him again?
Jin Ru sniffled a few times, trying to suppress her emotions.
She regained her composure and wondered what had happened to the plot after she and the original owner jumped off the building, and she returned to the real world. Had it changed, or had it returned to its original beginning?
Once again, she was back here, but she had no understanding of this world whatsoever.
Ah, no, she couldn't even grasp where "here" was.
"Ai ya!"
A tiny object bumped into her and fell right beside Jin Ru's foot. She was startled for a moment and looked down.
It was a chubby, adorable little girl. Jin Ru knelt down to help her up, but before she could say anything, the child spoke first.
"Auntie, a bad person is following me."
Jin Ru frowned and looked around. She saw an elderly woman running towards them in a hurry.
The woman cried out.
"Little miss, don't run around anymore!"
The child hid behind Jin Ru. Seeing this, Jin Ru cautiously asked.
"Who are you?"
"She's a bad person, Auntie!" The child quickly replied.
"Little miss, don't say that. Miss, please don't listen to what this child says. I am her private nanny."
The woman quickly clarified.
"No!" The child clutched Jin Ru's skirt tightly and wouldn't let go.
"How do I know you are truly this child's nanny?" Jin Ru asked.
The woman stammered for a while, then took out her phone and made a call.
"Hello, Miss Jin, Xiao Shu ran out into the street and told someone I was a bad person. Now that person won't let me approach. It's near your company, can you come out and confirm?"
The woman said "yes" and "okay" for a while, then hung up the phone and turned to Jin Ru.
"This child's mother will be here. I told you, I'm not a bad person!"
Jin Ru didn't answer, just patted the child's back.
After a long while, someone arrived. Jin Ru was stroking the child's head when a voice sounded from behind her.
"Qiao Shu! Come here to Mommy!"
This voice...
It sounded very familiar.
Jin Ru turned around. A tall, elegant woman, dressed in a very noble-looking business dress, stood there. The child in her arms also ran towards her, calling "Mommy."
Jin Ru was utterly surprised. Was this Mei Jin's daughter?
While she was staring blankly at the mother and daughter, the nanny on this side was recounting everything to Mei Jin. After listening, Mei Jin handed the child to the nanny and approached Jin Ru.
"I apologize for the inconvenience. My child is a bit mischievous, but this is truly our family's nanny. Thank you for your concern for the child!" Mei Jin smiled and said.
Jin Ru was still in a daze, intently looking at Mei Jin. This was the friend she had loved so much, the person she thought she would never see again, now standing right in front of her.
Seeing Jin Ru looking lost, Mei Jin called her again.
"Excuse me, are you alright?"
"Ah, I'm fine. I apologize for the misunderstanding." Jin Ru quickly regained her composure and replied to Mei Jin.
Mei Jin smiled politely, bowed, then turned and led her daughter and nanny into the company.
Jin Ru still stood there, watching Mei Jin's retreating figure. She called out softly.
"Mei Jin!"
As if connected by an invisible thread, Mei Jin also stopped. She hesitated, then turned to look at Jin Ru, but by then Jin Ru had already turned to leave.
Mei Jin could only watch her back. She frowned slightly, lost in thought.
That look...
Cai Jin Ru walked to a nearby park and sat down, steadying her breathing.
She took out her phone and once again searched for information about KT Group and Chen Mei Jin.
Chen Mei Jin had married Huang Ming Jian in 2018, which meant two years after she returned to the real world.
This meant that time in the real world and this world had synchronized. Her belongings were still intact here, proving that this world had also synchronized with the real world.
Jin Ru couldn't help but choke up. Her hands trembled as she typed his name.
For the past four years, every time she typed his name into the search bar, the results only showed excerpts with his name in works of fiction. She was very afraid that this time would be the same.
Why hadn't the TV mentioned him before?
She couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears. She didn't have the courage to receive any more information.
She was afraid of hoping and then being disappointed again...
After a moment of hesitation, she gently pressed the search button. The results appeared.
Cai Jin Ru burst into loud sobs.
She covered her tear-soaked eyes.
Chen Jian Cheng, we can finally meet.
The results showed flesh-and-blood images of Chen Jian Cheng, the face she longed for day and night, the figure she had cherished for so long, the person she thought she would never see again, her Jian Cheng.
Even if they couldn't be together, she just needed him to exist in this world.
She just needed his presence in this world, even if it was just standing by the roadside watching him be happy.
Jian Cheng, I can see you now.
