Half a year ago, we met a lonely little girl on the road and brought her home... She is a very kind, lovely and smart child. We have been together for half a year. Although she has some minor psychological problems and is relatively introverted, your father and I like her very much.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will become your sister. Howard is handling the adoption procedures.
I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with you in advance, but I'm sure you'd like her if you met her.
She is very quiet, well-behaved and lovable. Except for not liking to talk or laugh, she is actually a very easy to get along with child. She never ignores people and never throws a tantrum.
……
Since you haven't seen what she looks like, we took some photos and attached them to this letter.
It’s a pity you weren’t here, otherwise we could have taken a photo together.
Today we also went to the zoo, your father and I had a lot of fun. We also met an unexpected person, whom you also know.
Nanmu from the Yingtian family, whom you once courted. She was a smart and good girl, and I liked her very much. But unfortunately, she was too smart and saw through my son's philandering at a glance.
She is married now and has a one-year-old daughter... I wonder when you will bring back a grandson or granddaughter for mom?
I hope you can come back soon, mom misses you.
Eat well outside...
……
Looking forward to your reply or call.
It is best to reply to the letter, because the letter can be treasured for a long time without being lost, and can be taken out and savored at any time, just like you are always by my side.

Howard yawned, took off his glasses, and rubbed his sore eyes. "Have you finished writing?"
"That brat is having so much fun out there, and you're the only one who's still thinking about him. He hasn't called me in months."
"Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep now."
Looking at her complaining husband, Maria smiled gently, folded the letter she had written, and carefully put it into the envelope along with the photo.
She would never tell her husband that her son called her every month, he just didn't call Howard alone.
/——————
The time came to June 6th.
Lai Mu's physical evolution was successfully completed on this day, and naturally it was time for him to leave.
On the sofa in the living room.
He held a photo and wrote Tony's word crookedly on the head of the Husky Sanjie.
Well, this is just to ensure that history will not be changed. Lei Mu has always kept Ancient One's instructions in mind.
'Don't look into the future or modify the past until you are strong enough.'
I swear to God that there is absolutely no personal grudge involved.
he thought again.
Wouldn't it be bad if I just left quietly like this? Would it make people worry?
Then leave some message for Howard and Maria, at least tell them that you are safe and left on your own initiative.
I searched in the drawer and found half a notebook and a pen.
He tore off a piece of paper and wrote on it: Thank you very much for your care during this period, but the time is up and I have to go, don't worry.
While he was writing the note, the Husky lying on the side kept looking over here.
There is a strange light flashing in the dog's eyes... So boring! So boring! I have been at home for a few months, but this owner never plays with me! No, I have to take the initiative. Only active dogs can be happy!
Before leaving, there was one thing that had always bothered Lai Mu.
It is now 1991, and if nothing unexpected happens, the Howards will die at the hands of the Winter Soldier due to the super soldier serum in December of this year.
Lai Mu certainly didn't want to see them die.
Not to mention that they are Tony Stark's parents, just the meticulous care they have given to Sophie and Lemu during this period of time is also a kind of friendship.
But in the 21st century, he clearly heard the news of Howard's death from other people, which means that this time travel did not change their trajectory towards death.
History is not unchangeable.
My arrival has already modified the original history, so the information I come into contact with in the 21st century is based on the new history created after I traveled through time.
And Gu Yi's instructions also confirmed to a certain extent that this is feasible.
Therefore, as long as the Time Stone is still in hand, you can go back to the past and change the established facts at any time.
Even if Howard and Maria really died, when he was strong enough and able to bear the "consequences" that Ancient One mentioned, he could naturally bring them back from hell.
Moreover, he has the skill to manipulate time. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that the Time Stone is returned one day, as long as he finds another stone as energy support, he can still produce an effect similar to that of the Time Stone.
However, Lai Mu still wanted to do something.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the dog Sanjie lying beside him. He waved, "Come here and listen."
"You stay here and take good care of Howard and Maria for me. If anything happens to them, I will skin you alive!"
"understand?"
This dog is a supernatural creature after all. It took a huge amount of energy from Lemu to create one. It should not be difficult for the Winter Soldier to protect two people.
With the body regeneration skill, Gou Sanjie is not afraid of bullets.
An immortal, strong, and skilled supernatural being. Not to mention defeating the Winter Soldier, it should be no problem for me to fight him for a whole day, right?
That way Howard and the other man would have enough time to escape. Anyway, the Winter Soldier's main mission was to take away the serum, and killing was just a by-product.
It seemed like Gou Sanjie was holding something in his mouth. He whimpered twice and nodded his head.
It's good as long as you can understand it.
OK, time to leave.
The green light of time lingered around Lai Mu's body, gradually becoming more and more intense.
Just before he was about to disappear, a dog's paw rested on Lai Mu's knee. The dog Sanjie wagged his tail excitedly, whining constantly, and showed the tennis ball in his mouth to Lai Mu.
It's like saying, come on, sir, let's play together.
Then, the man and the dog disappeared at the same time in the flash of light.
Chapter 30. Only the Soul Transcends Time
"…six, seven, eight, nine, ten."
As Gu Yi's voice fell, a figure appeared out of nowhere before his eyes.
Seeing Lai Mu reappear, Alice couldn't help but want to pounce on him, but was startled by a dog's head that suddenly popped out from behind him. Looking closely, there was a tennis ball in the dog's head.
Lai Mu frowned, grabbed the dog's head beside him, and slapped it on the head!
I just asked you to stay, and you agreed, but the next second you ran back with me?
We can’t keep this dog anymore, let’s cook it!
Dog Sanjie tilted his head, as if he sensed the murderous intent in his master's eyes. The tennis ball in his mouth fell to the ground with a clatter, and he whimpered in fear, struggling to break free and jumping back.
Then there was a bang, as if he stepped on something.
The Magic Floating Cloak didn't think he was an easy target to bully, so he just swung a corner of his clothes at the dog's head, causing the stupid dog to scream.
"Woah-"
So a husky ran out of the tea room chasing a piece of flying cloth, and dashed into a group of mage apprentices outside who were studying hard, causing a lot of chaos and confusion.
The continuous exclamations even spread into the quiet tea room.
Lai Mu slapped his forehead in pain, thinking that this stupid dog might not be thinking well.
He shook his head and looked around. This tea room was no different from when he left. After all, in the current timeline, he had only been away for... about ten seconds.
Gu Yi was still drinking tea with a smile on his face, and Alice had quietly taken Lai Mu's hand without him noticing.
Lai Mu held Alice's hand tightly, and saw the confusion on her face, "He is just an unexpected Husky, don't worry about him."
He looked at the ground again, restored the cushion that had turned into ashes when he traveled through time to its original state, pulled Alice to sit down, and felt a little emotional.
This feeling is really wonderful. Just a few days ago, I saw little Alice who was one year old, and now a few days later, she has grown into a beautiful young lady.
Twenty years at a glance.
Alice leaned close to Lei Mu's ear and whispered to him, "Are you okay? You just disappeared suddenly."
There was a hint of worry in his voice.
Looking at the ripples in those lake blue eyes, Lai Mu felt as refreshing as if he had drunk a handful of lake water on a hot day. "I'm fine, don't worry, there's no danger."
After comforting the girl, Lai Mu looked at Gu Yi.
But Gu Yi just chuckled, as if he was not surprised at all, "You're back. Is everything going well?"
"Fortunately."
Lai Mu smiled bitterly helplessly, it turned out that Gu Yi knew everything.
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked at Gu Yi's green eyes with some seriousness.
"Can I ask you a question?"
Gu Yi reached for the teapot and filled their cups, "Please speak."
"You said before that peeking into the future and modifying the past would bring danger to yourself and the world, but if you are strong enough, you are not completely untouchable."
"What I want to ask is, if I want to change an established fact in history, what kind of price and ability do I need?"
Ancient One nodded in understanding.
As someone who once owned the Time Stone, she probably knew exactly what Lai Mu was going to ask, but she let him say it himself out of politeness.
