First Appearance of Interspace

During dinner, Gu Nian met with Mrs. Lin and the two younger sons of the Lin family. Their two older sons were apprentices in town.

Sitting at the dining table, Gu Nian looked at the hot steamed egg in front of her. She could feel the kind gazes from the Lin family members. She could not help but sigh. There were indeed many good people in this world.

They were not like those barbarians in Fenglai Village. Every single one in that village forced a single mother and child to their deaths.

The two sons of the Lin family were called Lin Sanhu and Lin Xiaohu. Xiaohu looked to be about the same age as Gu Nian. He occasionally glanced at the egg in front of Gu Nian as he secretly swallowed his saliva.

"Uncle, Auntie. I'm feeling much better now." Gu Nian pushed the egg in front of her slightly and smiled. A small dimple appeared on her cheek, making her look adorable. "I give the egg to the two brothers, so they can grow stronger."

Gu Nian did not really like the egg. However, she was a little reluctant to give the eggs away when she pushed them away. Perhaps it was the aftereffect of the memory fusion.

In the eyes of the Lin couple, Gu Nian was exceptionally sensible.

They could tell Gu Nian wanted to eat the egg, but she still gave the eggs to their sons. Gu Nian was a caring girl.

Mrs. Jiang could not help but reach out to touch Gu Nian's little head. "Little goody, this egg is for you. These two stinky brats are strong and healthy. But you're skinny and weak, so you need to nourish yourself."

Although Xiaohu wanted to eat the egg, he tried his best to hold it back. He took a deep breath and pushed the egg back to Gu Nian. "Little sister, eat it! Mother is right, big brother and I are super strong. Even Xiaoniu next door can't beat us, so we don't need to nourish our bodies."

"Waa!" Gu Nian could not help but laugh. "Brother Xiaohu, you're so amazing." Gu Nian's eyes were bright and watery.

After being praised, Xiaohu grinned, showing his white teeth. He was even happier than eating candy.

However, he then saw Gu Nian split the egg into three portions. One portion was for Lin Xiaohu, one for Lin Sanhu, and the last one for herself.

Gu Nian smiled and replied in a soft voice, "This way, we can all eat the egg."

Lin Sanshui and Mrs. Jiang liked Gu Nian even more now. Lin Sanhu, who had been quiet all this while, was smiling too.

Xiaohu ate a spoonful of egg custard and tilted his head to look at Gu Nian. "Sister, can you stay at our house and be our younger sister?"

Without waiting for Gu Nian to answer, Lin Sanshui said, "What nonsense are you saying? She has her own home. Her family will be worried if she doesn't go back."

"Alright..." Xiaohu said in disappointment. He ate his egg and did not say anything else.

Lin Sanshui's heart was also filled with melancholy. He wanted a cute and innocent little daughter. Unfortunately, his wife injured her body when giving birth to the fourth child, and she had never been able to conceive again. Naturally, Lin Sanshui's wish had come to naught.

That night, Gu Nian did not have a fever. In her half-awake state, she seemed to have arrived at a strange place.

There were rivers, mountains, large fields of fertile land, and many fruit trees.

Gu Nian was still a five or six-year-old child. She swallowed her saliva with difficulty and reached out to pick a peach. She casually wiped it with her hand and took a bite.

"Waa waa waa..."

The sudden cry made Gu Nian shiver, and she woke up in shock.

It was dark. There was no peach, only Lin Xiaohu's miserable cries. Gu Nian also saw Lin Xiaohu hugging his arms. When Lin Xiaohu let go of his hand, a row of teeth marks and saliva was on his arm.

Gu Nian was stunned.

Mrs. Jiang ran over in her underclothes in a panic. "What's wrong? Did you get bitten by something?"

As Mrs. Jiang spoke, she tried to pull off Xiaohu's clothes.

Lin Xiaohu sobbed and hugged Mrs. Jiang. He howled and showed Mrs. Jiang his arm. "Sister bit me... Sister bit me..."
