Yuan Lai gradually regained consciousness and found himself lying on the bed, surrounded by darkness.

She turned on the bedside lamp, but Jiang Qingtian was not beside her.

Yuan Lai picked up his phone and saw that the time on the screen was a little after four in the morning.

Is the child back? Yuan Lai felt uneasy and decided to go downstairs to check on his brothers' rooms to confirm whether Jiang Qingtian had returned home safely.

The lights in the rooms came on one after another, and the brothers had all returned safely.

Yuan Lai stood downstairs, listening quietly to the movements upstairs, and footsteps gradually sounded.

She walked up the stairs, praying silently as she walked, hoping Jiang Qingtian had returned safely.

When she reached the second floor, she saw Jiang Dunhao and Chen Shaoxi standing at the door of the room, talking in low voices. When they saw Yuan Lai coming up, a hint of joy appeared on their faces.

"The child is back and is sleeping soundly in bed." Jiang Dunhao said softly.

When Yuan Lai heard this, a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She walked quickly into the room and saw Jiang Qingtian sleeping soundly on the bed.

Other brothers also came over one after another, and the originally spacious room suddenly became crowded.

Yuan Lai took the child's temperature and found he didn't have a fever. Now she just had to wait until daybreak and hand the child over to Jiang Yan intact. Her mission would be complete.

Yuan Lai left the room and prepared to go back to sleep.

Li Gengyun suddenly called her.

"What we saw just now, was it all real?" Li Gengyun seemed to have not yet recovered from his previous experience.

Yuan Lai stopped, nodded, and answered affirmatively: "It's true."

Li Hao, who was standing nearby, wanted to say something, but considering the sleeping child in the room, he lowered his voice and said, "You still don't believe it! I told you a long time ago. Look at this, isn't it bizarre?"

Indeed, if you haven't experienced it yourself, even the most wonderful story is just a legend. Only by truly experiencing it can you admit that those seemingly absurd things are actually real.

Although the brothers have seen people with similar appearances to themselves in another world, that can be understood as a genetic coincidence of humans, or even explained as the so-called past and present lives. Those are two completely different life trajectories.

But at night, what they saw was another living self, whose life trajectories were highly overlapping.

It's hard not to doubt your own authenticity.

As expected, Chen Shaoxi touched his chin and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "So, between the ten of us and the other ten, who is the real one? Brother Hao once said that he saw ten people recording the second season of Let's Farm, and they might even continue to record the third season, but we don't?"

This question made everyone present fall into deep thought.

Seeing that her brothers were still confused, she decided to explain it in more detail.

"Let me put it this way. There's a special relationship between the ten of them and the ten of you. They're like independent points, and you're the surface made up of those points. And I'm just one of the lines connecting those points and those surfaces. There may be many parallel time and space related to you, but this time and space only exists when you're aware of it."

She paused, observing her brothers' reactions, and continued, "In that original time and space, Qingtian had already passed away. But in this time and space, I accidentally traveled to Houdoumen, the day Qingtian was born. This action reshaped the timeline. Because of this, we have the current Jiang Qingtian. And Zhou Qingran, she is also part of this connecting line. If Zhou Qingran hadn't existed, then it might not be Jiang Qingtian who appeared, but any other child."

She raised her voice slightly and emphasized, "In short, everything has cause and effect, it's cyclical and closely connected. They are real, and you are real too, because your experiences are real. Although this may be difficult for you to accept, it is true."

When Yuan Lai first learned about all this, she herself took a long time to understand and digest it. She sincerely hoped that her brothers could face this fact calmly and not be too entangled and painful.

Yuan Lai returned to the room, fell on the bed, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Why didn't she see herself? The reason was actually very simple, because in that time and space, her life came to an end on the day Qingtian was born.

However, in this time and space, she was driving a car and accidentally hit another "her".

This collision led to all the subsequent stories.

Perhaps, this is what is called risking one's life in order to survive.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains into the room, but Yuan Lai was still sound asleep.

A loud horn blast broke the silence and woke her from her sleep.

"Gather! Gather! Those who haven't come down yet, hurry up!" Xing Zhanyi shouted at the top of his lungs downstairs with a loud speaker.

Yuan Lai jumped up from the bed, as if she had been transported back to the days of freshman military training. She quickly put on her clothes, washed up as quickly as possible, put on her sneakers, and rushed downstairs.

When she ran to the small square, the scene before her made her feel both amused and helpless.

The brothers were already sitting there neatly, divided into two rows, leisurely eating breakfast. And the horn sound was obviously meant to wake her up.

Yuan Lai was speechless. She strode over, snatched the loudspeaker from Xing Zhan's hand, and turned it off without any hesitation.

After breakfast, the brothers began their busy day. Ji Ran and Xing Zhanyi stood at the edge of the field like two supervisors, supervising the progress of the work.

The ten people quickly divided into three groups, carrying red buckets filled with seeds and heading towards the terraced fields.

The planting method is the same, and it is much easier to plant in terraced fields than on the hills. The whole morning passed quietly in the busyness.

Hongbao is no longer working as a security guard, but is now responsible for logistics and delivery, delivering a steady stream of snacks and drinks to everyone.

Finally, Ji Ran couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed forward to stop Hong Bao who was about to feed him again.

"I think you are too attentive! Fortunately, I didn't let you go up the mountain, otherwise you would have made the whole mountain bald." Ji Ran said helplessly.

Hong Bao raised the thermos cup in his hand with a smile and acted coquettishly towards Ji Ran, "Oh, this is the last time. I'll just give them a cold drink. It won't take more than a few seconds."

Li Hao stood up in the field and praised loudly: "Hongbao! You are awesome!"

Seeing this, Ji Ran mercilessly poured cold water on Li Hao: "When can your group catch up with Xiao Tong's group, and when can you eat!"

"Ah?" Li Hao was suddenly struck by lightning and collapsed completely.

Wang Yiheng and Jiang Dunhao on the side could only smile bitterly. They were obviously struggling with Ji Ran's request. "The three of them together are simply invincible. How can we compete with them?"

Jiang Dunhao helplessly shouted to the front: "Xiaotong! Gengyun! Yibo! If you're tired, just take a break. There's no need to be so aggressive!"

Zhao Xiaotong looked back at his position and said with a look of grievance, "Brother, I really didn't use acceleration!"

However, Li Gengyun and Zhao Yibo kept moving with their hands and talking.

"The strength is here!"

"You are too slow!"

Chen Shaoxi, who had been in the middle of the two groups, laughed out loud, "Hahaha, luckily I'm in the middle."

Zhuo Yuan and He Haonan didn't respond and just focused on planting.

Seeing that the lagging group was a little depressed, Lu Zhuo kindly comforted them, "It's okay, big brother, I'll help you later."

But Wang Yiheng quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, we can do it ourselves."

Just when everyone was busy with their own work, Yuan Lai pressed the shutter of the camera, freezing the moment of his brothers' work into a photo.

Hong Bao put the thermos aside, sat next to Yuan Lai, and asked expectantly, "Can I go with you to pick up An An this afternoon?"

Yuan Lai asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Want to go out and play?"

Hong Bao quickly explained, "No, I want to take An An as my teacher and learn some skills from her. That way, if they get into danger, I won't be completely helpless."

Yuan Lai couldn't help but recall that when he asked Hong Bao to practice with him before, Hong Bao refused no matter what. Now he actually took the initiative to ask to learn, which was really surprising.

She sighed in her heart: People always realize things too late.

But since Hong Bao had such an idea, Yuan Lai naturally had no reason not to agree, "Sure!"

After lunch, Yuan Lai went to the hospital to pick someone up with a red envelope.

After entering the city, Yuan Lai suddenly remembered Ren He and Su Deyi and wondered if they had returned. So he decided to stop by the hotel. When Yuan Lai arrived, he found the hotel closed.

"What the hell are these two doing?" Yuan Lai muttered.

Arriving at the hospital, Yuan Lai completed the discharge procedures smoothly. Walking into the ward, he saw An An sitting on the bed eating potato chips.

"You're here to pick me up!" An An was very happy to see Yuan Lai, "Come and try some cucumber-flavored potato chips!" As he said that, An An enthusiastically handed the potato chips to Yuan Lai.

Yuan Lai shook his head, bent down to pick up the snacks on the bed, folded An An's clothes neatly, and put them into the suitcase he brought.

"You've almost turned the hospital into your home."

An An jumped off the bed, shook off the potato chip crumbs on the quilt, and finally picked up the broom and swept the crumbs into the trash can.

"I've always been at home everywhere." An An didn't care.

Yuan Lai looked at An An, as if he saw the thin and pale boy in the field that night.

"Okay, let's go, I'm going into the mountains to pick herbs!" An An ran out of the ward excitedly.

After getting in the car, Yuan Lai looked at Hong Bao, who was hesitant to speak in the back seat, and said for him: "Let Hong Bao learn from you from now on."

An An couldn't believe her ears and quickly turned her head to look behind her, "Hong Bao, the sun is rising from the west? Aren't you reluctant to leave them?"

"But I found that my presence was of no benefit to them."

Yuan Lai was surprised. "Why would you think that? Even if you were just a puppy, they would love you."

"But I'm more than just a puppy now, and I can never be a puppy again."

Hongbao, who was sitting in the back seat, silently fastened his seat belt.

Yuan Lai suddenly felt deeply powerless.

Even though Li Haogang praised Hongbao for his rapid improvement in cooking skills, and even though his brothers were afraid that Hongbao would be bored and kept finding things for him to do, Hongbao seemed to be getting further and further away from them.
