Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Space Guardian

"What’s the matter? Hurry up."

Song Yi hurriedly took over the large pot of brown sugar water in her hands.

If she hurried and missed a step, that would be the end of it.

Spilling the sugar water was no big deal, but scalding someone would not be good...

By 2002, the house was very quiet, and Fan Qing was also propping herself up at the door waiting for them.

"Sister Yuan, you’re here, hurry and see how Sister Mianmian is doing!"

Her voice was very soft, as if afraid of startling something.

"Mm!"

Song Yi, holding the pot of brown sugar water, didn’t go over, feeling it was a bit inconvenient.

He waited in the living room; Grandma Ye also had diarrhea, and after all, he was a man, even if to Grandma, he was a child.

Their symptoms had improved a bit, but they still couldn’t help going to the toilet frequently, and the smell inside the house was not pleasant.

Fan Qing felt a bit embarrassed and went to open the window in her room.

That way, it wouldn’t be too cold over there and the air in the house could circulate.

Jhiang Yuan was very anxious, but she became timid at the doorway.

She knew what Grandma Ye meant to Ye Mianmian.

The door was half open and stuffed with many things, making the room somewhat dim.

When she heard movement, Ye Mianmian looked up.

She was squatting on the ground, needing to look up.

The sight of her tear-streaked face made Jhiang Yuan’s heart sink.

"Sister Yuan..."

Her speech carried the tone of crying. Although she tried her best to endure, it naturally showed.

And when she looked at Grandma Ye, lying weakly in bed, she was originally a skinny little old lady.

The wrinkles on her face were deep and numerous, her eyes had yellowed, turbid...

"Mianmian, don’t cry..."

She offered words of comfort, then went over to see the old lady, who also looked back at her and even cracked a smile...

"Miss Yuan, you’ve come..."

"Yes, I’ve come to see you, Grandma. How are you feeling now?"

Grandma Ye’s face was full of kindness, her disarray not affecting her composure.

It was a kind of solemnity settled over the years, inexplicably comforting.

"Old age, no longer useful..."

Actually, Jhiang Yuan had many questions she wanted to ask. Just a few days ago, everything was fine.

She couldn’t say Grandma Ye was bursting with vitality, but she was certainly not in her current state.

If it was because of the snow water, then the others should have recovered considerably.

Even if her physical constitution was poor due to old age, it shouldn’t have come to this.

"Grandma, don’t say such things. You’ll certainly live to a ripe old age..."

Her consolation didn’t cheer up Grandma Ye.

"I know my own body, living up to now, I’ve had enough..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mianmian couldn’t control herself anymore and cried even harder...

She didn’t dare to cry out loud, only turning her head away and covering her mouth with her hand.

Just then, Fan Qing came over.

"Sister Mianmian, here’s the brown sugar water Sister Yuan made, give Grandma a little."

Ye Mianmian quickly wiped her tears and got up to take it.

"Thank you, Fan Qing..."

"Don’t mention it, I’ll go out first. Call me if you need anything, we are all outside..."

"Okay!"

She had even thoughtfully brought a spoon, in case Grandma Ye would have trouble drinking.

Ye Mianmian gently attempted to feed her the water, but Grandma shook her head.

"Mianmian, don’t waste it, save it for you to drink."

"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? What a waste..."

There was still plenty of brown sugar at home, and the well water was inexhaustible. Jhiang Yuan was afraid Grandma might think water was hard to come by now, so she too came over to comfort her.

"Grandma, just drink this, and I’ll cook some more for you later..."

"Ah, okay..."

I helped her sit up, propped up by a pillow at her back, half-reclining on the bed.

Ye Mianmian’s eyes were swollen like walnuts as she fed Grandma spoonful after spoonful.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but it seemed to me that the old lady’s spirit had improved a lot.

But I was more afraid it was a rallying before the end because her condition before had been terrible.

"Mianmian, I have a few words to say to Miss Yuan; you go out for a while..."

Ye Mianmian looked at Grandma, somewhat puzzled, as they normally didn’t talk much.

Then she looked at Jhiang Yuan, who nodded, so she agreed to leave.

"Alright, Grandma. I’ll go out then. Call me later..."

Grandma Ye didn’t speak but just nodded, watching her granddaughter leave and gently closing the door behind her.

"Grandma, whatever you want to say, you can tell me..."

"Ah, it’s so dark today. Girl, help me draw the curtains, will you?"

Opening the curtains now was not a good idea.

But maybe the old lady was near the end.

Jhiang Yuan sighed, got up, and went to the window, silently drawing them open, careful not to make a sound.

"Grandma, is this okay?"

"Good..."

Actually, there was no sun today; instead, the snowflakes were flaunting themselves unrestrained.

And with the wind from last night, they were flying all over the place...

Still, it had brightened up a bit.

Following her gesture, Jhiang Yuan sat down on the bed, next to Grandma Ye, and took the hand she reached out.

I don’t know why, but it felt quite strange to me...

Until Grandma Ye touched inside her wrist and found the bracelet...

Jhiang Yuan was taken aback; she had hidden that thing well, and it was invisible from the outside. How had Grandma known about it?

"Is this thing easy to use?"

"Grandma, you?"

A million whys rushed to my head, but I didn’t know what to say...

Grandma Ye, however, stayed calm, gently patting my hand.

"Child, don’t be afraid. I’ve guarded it for a lifetime, and now it’s finally returned to its rightful owner."

What does that mean?

That thing belongs to Ye Mianmian, doesn’t it? How could it be returned to its rightful owner?

Seeing my confusion, Grandma Ye laid it all out.

"Don’t be nervous, child.

I came by this object by accident.

Even though I knew its secret, I was unable to harness it.

Later, I gave it to Mianmian. Times changed, and I hoped it would find its true master."

If I was confused before, now I was completely shocked.

Jhiang Yuan found it incredibly unbelievable, and her words stumbled.

"Grandma, what do you mean...?"

At that, Grandma Ye showed a kind smile.

"Child, you are fated with it; you both are anomalies. It has always been yours..."

Jhiang Yuan was utterly dumbfounded; she was an anomaly—could it be because of her rebirth?

Grandma Ye and Ye Mianmian were both space guardians, and since she had opened the space, she had become its master.

All the guilt from the past few days turned out to be self-inflicted worries.

Life’s great ups and downs came too fast, and she was overwhelmed...

"Grandma, does Mianmian know about this?"

"No, she doesn’t know. My whole life was destroyed by this object.

I lost my husband young, my son when I was middle-aged, and am left with only this granddaughter, who depends on me alone.

I don’t want her to follow my old path. Do you understand?"
