Chapter 621 No one understands Ah Ming better than her.

The moment my fingertips finally touched the crystal flower, a cool, translucent sensation spread along my fingertips.

The next second, the faint light flowing on the petals suddenly surged, and the crystal flower, like a galaxy breaking free from its restraints, surged and scattered, instantly enveloping Fu Ming in a hazy yet scorching halo of light.

Fragmented images flashed before my eyes, too fast to grasp, yet so clear they were etched into my very soul.

Memories of the past and present intertwine and collide, the warm interactions with companions, the tender moments with Xiaoshi, the mutual support with Zhongyan, and the profound loneliness of fifty thousand years surge into the depths of the heart.

"Well--!"

Fu Ming staggered, clutching his forehead. He swayed precariously, as if he had been pulled into the gap between two timelines. His head felt heavy, and even his breathing was painful and labored.

"Alicia, what did you do to Amin?!"

A clear, slightly urgent voice came from outside consciousness, instantly piercing the surrounding chaos.

Kiana☆, carrying a strawberry cake, had just stepped into the living room when she stumbled upon this scene. She hurriedly put down the cake and rushed forward.

Upon hearing Kiana☆'s voice, Fu Ming's chaotic consciousness suddenly cleared a bit.

As consciousness gradually returned, Fu Ming staggered back a step, and in the instant he lost his balance, Kiana☆ stepped forward in time to steady him.

The crystal flower in his palm still shimmered with a soft glow, but his eyes were churning with a myriad of emotions.

There was a stunned shock at regaining memories, a relieved ease at resolving confusion, and a touch of indescribable melancholy mixed in.

It is regret, it is guilt, it is the lingering resentment of not being able to protect our former civilization partners.

In an instant, those chaotic fragments of memory receded like the tide, slowly settling deep within his mind and returning to calm.

"Ah Ming, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Kiana held his arm tightly, reaching out to gently stroke his furrowed brow, trying to soothe the pain in his eyes.

"What just happened? You..."

Fu Ming slowly came back to his senses, looked down at the crystal flower in his palm, and the surging emotions gradually calmed down.

He looked up at Kiana☆, the complexity and pain in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a familiar tenderness.

He reached out and gently took her hand, his palm covering her slightly cool fingertips. His voice was a little hoarse from the shock he had just experienced, but it was exceptionally firm, and every word was filled with a reassuring strength:

"I'm fine, don't worry, I'm just... a little dazed."

Kiana☆ looked at him, her heart finally calming down a bit, but she still couldn't help pouting:

"I'm glad you're okay..."

Xiao Shi had somehow gotten close and clung to Fu Ming's arm, shaking it gently.

"Hey, did something terrible just happen? Tell me quickly, don't hide it from me!"

Looking at her impatient appearance, the last trace of melancholy in Fu Ming's eyes vanished.

He skillfully reached out and ruffled Xiaoshi's soft hair, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and spoke softly:

"Stop messing around, nothing's wrong with me."

I was just recalling some things from a very, very long time ago, and I already know how to return to another world.

Kiana☆: "......"

She stared at the fleeting tenderness in Fu Ming's eyes as he looked at Xiao Shi, and at the hand that was ruffling Xiao Shi's hair, and her jealousy instantly flared up.

She slapped Fu Ming's hand away, pulled Xiao Shi aside, squeezed herself next to Fu Ming, crossed her arms, and stared at him:

"Does this remind you of the pre-civilization days when you spent so much time with Xiao Shi?"

As she spoke, she added fiercely:

"But let me tell you, right now, in your heart, there can only be me and Fu Xing—oh no, only me!"

Xiao Shi was pulled so hard that he stumbled, and immediately started shouting indignantly:

"Why are you so selfish!"

The two girls immediately started arguing fiercely again about "Fu Ming's exclusive rights," completely forgetting that they had just been worried about Fu Ming's health.

Alicia covered her lips, a faint smile playing in her eyes:

"Hehe, it's so lively!"

Fu Ming looked at the two arguing fiercely in front of him, shook his head helplessly and amusedly, but when his gaze fell on Alicia, he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temples, full of helplessness.

Alicia's fingertips flickered lightly, the afterglow of the crystal flower swirling in her hair, her eyebrows curving upwards, her expression both charming and mischievous:

"Hey, don't look at me like that~ Ah Ming~?"

The dormant memories have awakened, but some things have already happened and cannot be easily forgotten.

“I’ve always only ever thought of you as my little sister.” Fu Ming sighed helplessly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. “Your dazzling brilliance makes me dare not have the slightest thought of disrespecting you.”

Upon hearing this, Alicia exaggeratedly clutched her chest, but her eyes held an irrepressible smile, and her voice trailed off with a soft, coquettish tone:

"Oh my, so I'm actually such a sacred figure in Ah Ming's heart? Seriously, it's making me so embarrassed I can't even lift my head!"

She tiptoed closer to Fu Ming, her soft lips brushing against his cheek, her voice lowered, tinged with a mischievous smile:

"So how do you feel now when you think back to that time with me?"

After saying that, she playfully took a step back, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

Fu Ming's earlobes flushed slightly. He turned his head away awkwardly, pursed his lips, and remained silent, though he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

'I have this weird feeling that I might get chopped into mincemeat by your die-hard fans any second now!'

Alicia's eyes flickered, and she caught a glimpse of his reddened ear tips, which deepened her smile.

She deliberately leaned closer and gently touched his burning earlobe with her fingertip:

"Is Ah Ming shy? Her ears are so red they're practically bleeding!"

Just as Fu Ming's ears turned red and he was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, two angry voices suddenly rang out.

"Alicia, stay away from Amin! This isn't over yet!"

"Alice, you actually took advantage of Ah Ming when we weren't looking!"

Kiana☆ and Xiaoshi surprisingly formed a united front, both glaring at Alicia.

The former stood with her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out like an angry little pufferfish, glaring at Alicia; the latter pounced on her, grabbing Fu Ming's arm and pulling him behind her.

Seeing this, Alicia tilted her head:

"I was just having a private conversation with Ah Ming."

"Whispers? Who knows if they're just some shameless nonsense!"

Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open.

No one here understands Ah Ming better than her.

Looking at Ah Ming's reddened ears and evasive eyes, it was exactly the same embarrassing state I was in when I teased him.

It must have been Alicia who said something flirtatious that made Ah Ming's heart race!

Upon hearing this, Alicia laughed even harder, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers:

"Oh? So you know a lot about this then~"

Kiana☆ raised her chin high, her expression full of smugness: "I know it all!"

"Alright, stop fooling around." Fu Ming reached out and ruffled the two girls' heads, trying to smooth things over. "If you keep arguing, Kiana☆, the cake you brought back will melt and become inedible."

Upon hearing this, Kiana☆ immediately moved towards the coffee table, her cheeks slightly puffed out, clearly deciding to temporarily suspend the fight and focus on eating her strawberry cake first.

Fu Ming then looked at Xiao Shi, who was still sulking, and gently flicked her forehead with his fingertip before looking away.

Alicia took in the whole scene, and her smile deepened.

"Ah Ming, look, isn't life better than anything else right now?"

Fu Ming paused, then turned to look at the figure enjoying the cake, before glancing at Xiao Shi and the smiling Alicia beside him.

He nodded gently, a faint, warm smile playing on his lips.

"Yes, that's better than anything else. Only when everyone comes back can we achieve the truly perfect ending I want."
