Chapter 687 - 209: Lu Sisi Can Only Be Lu Sisi
Chen Yan walked through the villa’s front gate and into the living room.
Lu Sisi was in the study on the second floor; she had opened the wooden box again today, folding paper puppets for Chen Yan.
Chen Yan pushed open the door but didn’t enter or say a word. He just stood at the doorway, leaning against the doorframe, quietly watching Lu Sisi.
Lu Sisi looked up, a sweet smile on her face, her eyes clear and innocent.
The girl stood up, walked towards Chen Yan, and fell into his arms.
For a moment, as Lu Sisi’s body just entered his embrace, Chen Yan’s body stiffened instantly.
But soon, he smelled the scent of lime shampoo from Lu Sisi’s hair.
Chen Yan’s muscles relaxed, and he wrapped his arms around Lu Sisi’s waist, letting her chin rest on his chest.
"You look quite tired," Lu Sisi whispered in Chen Yan’s ear, her tone almost a murmur.
Chen Yan smiled, "Yeah, went out to handle some things."
"Want to... take a hot bath? I can fill the bathtub for you, and you can have a soak?"
Chen Yan thought for a moment and shook his head, "Never mind, too lazy to soak. By the way, what’s for dinner tonight?"
"Zongzi!" Lu Sisi laughed, "I wrapped a few more this afternoon. This time I made them quite pretty, and I’ve already cooked some.
But if you want meat zongzi, you’ll have to wait till next time. I’ll buy some marinated meat tomorrow, okay?"
"...Okay." Chen Yan nodded.
Then, Lu Sisi took Chen Yan’s hand, dragging him downstairs and into the kitchen.
Chen Yan silently watched Lu Sisi take out the cooked zongzi, peeling off the leaves one by one and inserting chopsticks.
The girl moved lightly around the kitchen, even preparing a small dish of white sugar, which she placed in front of Chen Yan.
She sat across from Chen Yan, resting her chin in her hands, her starry eyes looking at Chen Yan, "Hurry and take a bite!"
Chen Yan’s expression was gentle as he took a small bite.
The taste was quite good; the glutinous rice was soft, the leaf aroma fragrant, and the jujube sweet...
After eating two zongzi, Lu Sisi cleared the dishes and stood at the sink washing them.
Chen Yan didn’t move, just sat there, quietly watching the girl’s back, his gaze complex.
·
He was sure, Lu Sisi was Lu Sisi.
The current Lu Sisi was his girlfriend Lu Sisi, the one who utterly adored him like her life depended on it, who would believe him if he insisted that crows were white!!
Now, she still was!
But...
Chen Yan now had to face a problem.
Based on the investigations, tracking, and unraveling of these days, he had reached a conclusion—even if it was just a conjecture.
Inside Lu Sisi’s body, there might be a hidden "existence."
Only that, this existence had not yet awakened!
"You better not awaken! Because even if you do, I’ll do whatever it takes to put you back to sleep! Lu Sisi can only be Lu Sisi!"
Chen Yan gritted his teeth.

Chen Yan once again entered the courtyard of Lin Qingquan’s house next door and saw Lin Qingquan’s granddaughter watering the flowers with a kettle.
That girl still walked the same, DUANG, DUANG, DUANG.
However, Chen Yan only glanced at her before withdrawing his gaze—after all, there was nothing interesting about looking at a paper puppet.
"Neighbor sir?" The girl (paper puppet) showed a surprised expression, "Why did you jump over the wall?"
Chen Yan didn’t respond because Lin Qingquan was already standing at the doorway, speaking irritably, "Because this guy is used to jumping over walls!
Hey, Chen Yan! There’s a doorbell on my gate, it’s not just for decoration!"
Saying this, Lin Qingquan waved his hand, and the paper puppet girl turned away with a bright and cheerful smile, humming a tune as she continued to water the flowers.
As if she hadn’t seen Chen Yan at all.
Chen Yan followed Lin Qingquan into the living room and sat down.
He glanced at the paper puppet girl outside the window watering the flowers, "I never asked you before, is she... an old acquaintance, a family member, she couldn’t be your first love, right?"
"Tsk, what first love, as if! You need to read fewer female-oriented web novels."
Lin Qingquan waved his hand dismissively.
He took a deep look at the paper puppet girl in the courtyard, "She was... my family, no longer here."
Chen Yan didn’t believe it!!
Family?
If this paper puppet girl was truly Lin Qingquan’s former granddaughter or something like that to his family...
As a grandfather with divine techniques, making a paper puppet to remember a loved one makes sense!
But!!
Who would make a paper puppet of their granddaughter with such DUANG, DUANG, DUANG features!!
Isn’t that pure perversion?!
While Old Deng Lin Qingquan is a bit peculiar, he’s not disgusting or perverted to that extent.
"Stop with the nonsense; what trouble have you come to find me for by flipping over the wall today?" Lin Qingquan sighed.
"There are some things I don’t understand, and I’d like to ask for senior fellow daoist’s advice," Chen Yan chuckled.
"..." Lin Qingquan glared at him, reluctantly saying, "What do you want to find out this time... It’s always like this, coming to squeeze answers from me. I tell you, kid, what I know I can say, what I don’t know, I can’t say anything about. What I can’t say, don’t even think about trying to pry it from me..."
As he spoke, he picked up the teapot from the table and poured tea for Chen Yan.
Chen Yan looked cheerfully into Lin Qingquan’s eyes, speaking slowly, "How much do you know about transmigration?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingquan’s hand holding the teapot shook!!
