I couldn't resist the eager gazes of the three people, so I settled into this room.
Inside the room, I sat on the bed while my parents and brother occupied the sofa.
We exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
I'm not an outgoing person, and in response to their caring words, I could only manage simple yes or no answers.
The atmosphere quickly fell flat.
However, they seemed determined to bond with me and were reluctant to leave.
Finally, I decided to take matters into my own hands and said, "I'm tired."
"Then... you should rest early," my father replied, standing up first. A look of relief crossed his authoritative face.
My mother and brother followed suit.
Just as they reached the door, my mother turned back and said:
"Ning Ning, your father has already sent someone to investigate the incident of the baby swap. Mengyi has lived in our family for eighteen years; can we allow her to stay with us?"
"Whatever," I replied.
I truly felt indifferent.
Yet, I sensed that my response had caused the expressions of the three of them to grow somewhat serious.
To prevent them from overthinking, I added, "In strict terms, Shen Mengyi is also a victim in this matter of the hospital switching babies, so it's only right for her to stay."
Upon hearing this, they were visibly moved.
After they left, I sat on the bed to meditate and cultivate.
However, as soon as I closed my eyes, I sensed something was off.
This world possessed Spiritual Energy, yet it could not enter my body.
No matter how hard I tried, it just wouldn't work.
I gradually realized that what was blocking me from absorbing Spiritual Energy was the rules of this world.
This was not a realm of cultivation; there were no Cultivators, so naturally, I couldn't cultivate or level up.
Since I had arrived in this world, I would be bound by its rules.
But if that were the case, how was I supposed to cultivate and level up? How could I ascend?
With no clear direction in my thoughts, I decided to lie down and sleep.
The next morning, after waking up, I prepared to head downstairs.
As I reached the corner of the staircase, I heard a sound of weeping.
"Woo... Woo... Ning Ning has had such a hard time these years! It's my fault for letting her be out there for so long," my mother cried sorrowfully.
My father’s face was also filled with pain. "At this point, all we can do is treat her twice as well."
My brother slammed his fist on the table in anger. "I’m going to have that hospital sued right now!"
It seemed they had uncovered my personal information and learned about my experiences growing up.
Was it hard?
I used to think my life was quite difficult.
But those struggles in daily life paled in comparison to the near-death experiences I faced in the world of cultivation.
I deliberately stomped my feet as I walked.
Hearing the noise, the people in the living room quickly wiped their tears.
"Ning Ning is up!" My mother forced a smile at me. "Let’s eat!"
"Okay."
I walked over and sat down at the dining table.
My mother went to call Shen Mengyi, and after a while, she came down looking dejected. "She’s not hungry; let’s eat first."
My parents and my brother kept piling food onto my plate until it was overflowing.
After dinner, I was about to head upstairs when my mom stopped me.
"I bought you a lot of clothes, bags, and shoes last night. They'll be delivered soon. Why don't you take a look before going up?"
Her voice was always gentle when she spoke.
I nodded.
Before long, the living room was filled with clothes and accessories.
"Ning Ning, do you like them? If you don’t, I can buy you something else."
"…I like them."
Although I felt that they probably wouldn't be as comfortable as my robes.
It was at this moment that Shen Mengyi came downstairs.
She wore a hat that concealed her bald head.
When she saw the clothes, shoes, and bags, her eyes lit up.
Her previously gloomy expression instantly brightened.
"Mother, are these all for me?"
My mother looked a bit awkward. "No, these are for Ning Ning. Mengyi, you get new clothes every day; Ning Ning just came back, so these are prepared for her."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengyi was taken aback.
Tears began to fall as if they were worthless.
With a pitiful expression, she said, "Mother, is it because I'm fake that you don't love me?"
"Of course not, Mother has prepared something for you too."
"Really?" Shen Mengyi's face lit up with joy in an instant.
She shot me a triumphant glance, as if to say, "So what if you're back? I am still Mother's little treasure."
As Shen Mengyi looked on expectantly, the servant pushed in a row of… wigs.
"With these wigs, you won't need to wear a hat anymore. You can change your hairstyle every day."
My mom's words were so thoughtful.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud along with my brother.
Shen Mengyi burst into tears again, this time out of frustration.
