As time ticked by, Jieyuhua finally agreed to the refined man's suggestion. Right now, she was the only one who could save the child.

When the refined man saw that Xie Yuhua had agreed, a pleased smile appeared on his face. He used some means to give Xie Yuhua a physical form, but she still couldn't speak, for fear that she might say something.

Upon realizing she had a physical form, Jieyuhua didn't wait to think; her body reacted first, jumping into the sea in the direction the child had fallen.

Jieyuhua searched everywhere for the child's figure and finally found the child in a place where the light was almost out. At this moment, the child was sinking little by little.

Xie Yuhua quickly swam over, scooped the child up, and pulled him into his arms. He swam upwards, and the child clung tightly to his neck. Looking down, Xie Yuhua saw a look he had never seen before in the child's eyes—a look of hope and joy…

As the two swam near the surface, Xie Yuhua saw the refined man. He jumped into the sea, and in an instant, she found herself unable to touch the child. Her body passed through the child, and she watched helplessly as the child wrapped his arms around another man's neck…

When Xie Yuhua looked back, the man had already boarded the boat again with the child. As promised, he stole the credit that should have been Xie Yuhua's and was wiping the child's hair.

Xie Yuhua could only watch silently from the sidelines, accompanied by a dark figure in the corner, but the previously emotionless figure now seemed somewhat agitated.

Xie Yuhua blinked her big, bright eyes and asked the refined man his name. The man introduced himself as 07. While they were talking, Xiao Lingxiao glanced at Xie Yuhua's location, then at the dark figure in the corner, before finally turning his gaze back to 07. The two chatted and laughed. When they finished, 07 patted Xiao Lingxiao's head and left. Only then did Xiao Lingxiao relax his lips and turn to look at the sea.

Xie Yuhua walked to his side, and Xiao Lingxiao glanced at her and asked, "Aren't you leaving?" He then continued looking at the sea and muttered to himself, "Why do you always follow me? I have nothing left. If your goal is to get my body..."

At this point, Ling Xiao paused and said, "I've heard of this before, it's called possession, right? You might have had a chance just now, but now you have to wait. At least until I turn 16, you can't touch me. You heard it just now, right? I want to bind with him. Once I successfully bind with him, no one will want my body anymore. Then you can enter my body. I will definitely be taller than I am now, and your soul will feel more comfortable entering."

Seeing that the ball of energy beside him didn't move at all, Xiao Lingxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should go back now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yuhua opened his eyes in bed. He sat up, glanced at the clock on the wall, and realized that it was already noon. Xie Yuhua quickly sorted out his thoughts. He realized that all his dreams were related to children, which meant that he could see the children's past. However, he could not control himself to enter the dream or to go to a specific point in time. But judging from the children's appearance, time should be continuous, and the one called 07 should have some kind of medium that could give himself a physical form in the dream.

Finally, he couldn't control his departure. The 'key' to leaving the past was in the child's hands. As long as the child wanted him to leave, he had no choice but to go...
