He took a deep breath, "The choice is still in your hands. Nian, if you choose him, it means giving up everything I offer you. If you abandon me and Jieyou just for yourself, then you are no longer my little girl, no longer worthy of my great love for you."
He softened his voice, "So, come back. My little girl, return to me and our daughter. The three of us will leave here, forget everything, and return to our original time and space, alright?"
Shi Nian held her phone, somewhat lost. She could only hear his voice coming through the receiver, yet close to her ear, while she could no longer see anything before her.
The scene in front of her blurred, misty, distant yet near, seeming both real and not really there at all.
She even forgot how to think, showing no expression.
Suddenly, a sharp voice snapped at her, "Nian Nian, what are you doing?!"
Shi Nian jolted and looked back to see that her mother, at some point, had already come out the door, standing there sternly.
