Transmigrating Behind the Mirror to Become Her Guardian Lady - Chapter 29.2

On a winter night in February, everyone loathed the cold, so no one was willing to go out at this hour. Consequently, the already quiet villa district appeared even more tranquil. Looking out across the path, the area was entirely desolate and empty of people, with only the dim yellow streetlights glowing, warm and soft.

Her beloved sister was wearing the soft overcoat she had prepared for her, paired with a dark-colored long skirt that reached down to her ankles, holding her hand and leading her forward. With their running steps, the hem of the long skirt swayed gently, looking like a beautiful flower blooming in the night, or like stepping and dancing directly onto her heart.

Against the warm yellow light, Jiang Weilu stared blankly at Shu Mengli’s retreating figure, looking exactly as if she were witnessing a little elf that appeared only at night, leading her as they dashed toward an unknown distance. That was the most beautiful perfection in her mind.

Actually, the place Shu Mengli brought Jiang Weilu to wasn’t very far, roughly a distance of a few thousand meters. Walking, stopping, talking, and laughing along the way, they arrived before they knew it.

However, Jiang Weilu had never been to this area before. Thus, when they finally reached their destination, she looked at the rusted iron gates faintly visible under the dim moonlight, then raised her head to look at the slightly aged sign above the gate, dazing slightly.

An amusement park? So the place her sister wanted to bring her to was an amusement park.

Subsequently, she peered inside curiously under the moonlight, wanting to see what it looked like within. This was because Jiang Weilu had never been to an amusement park before. Born into a wealthy, prominent clan, the superficial glory was certainly grand, but behind the scenes, they also had to put in far more effort. Take Jiang Weilu for instance; she was only 13 years old, yet her studies were packed to the brim, leaving her with virtually no rest time. Not to mention, a parent like Jiang Ming was exceptionally strict and humorless, and he would absolutely never allow his children to indulge in play. Thus, Jiang Weilu had never been to this kind of place.

Shu Mengli had precisely guessed this point, which was why she thought to bring the child here to relax. As for why they had to sneak over secretly at night, it was naturally because Jiang Weilu truly had no time during the day, and Jiang Ming wouldn’t permit her to come out and play either.

Shu Mengli looked at Jiang Weilu standing blankly at the entrance, smiled softly as she stroked her head, and then walked to the main gate to remove the lock she had picked using her own methods. Turning her head, her smile toward Jiang Weilu was incredibly sweet, and her voice was gentle. “Come over quickly, Lulu.”

Hearing this, Jiang Weilu nodded and hurriedly followed her sister’s steps inside.

To her surprise, right after she stepped through the gate, Shu Mengli actually slipped behind her. Pressing gently against her back, she reached up and covered her eyes.

The warm palms covered her, blocking her vision and rendering her sight useless in an instant. In contrast, however, it caused her senses of touch and smell to become even more acute. The pleasant fragrance belonging to her sister wafted over, slipping into the tip of her nose and sweetening her heart. Her warm, soft hands resting gently over her face made her feel that this winter wasn’t cold in the slightest.

Jiang Weilu couldn’t help but snuggle a bit into her sister’s embrace, briefly unable to fathom what Shu Mengli wanted to do. But completely unable to see anything at this moment, she wasn’t panicked at all; her heart was filled with absolute trust in Shu Mengli. Smiling, she asked, “Sister, what are you trying to do?”

In the next second, she heard Shu Mengli’s gentle, beautiful voice ring out above her head. “I’m bringing you to a place. Don’t be afraid, Lulu, just follow me.”

“Mhm.” Jiang Weilu nodded.

Following her sister’s steps, she slowly walked forward. As they walked, their clothes accidentally brushed together and their bodies lightly touched, the two of them pressed close without a single gap between them. Jiang Weilu curved her lips, a tiny smile surfacing on her face. She loved this sense of intimacy with her sister; interacting like this made it feel as though she and her sister were the closest people in this entire world.

However, this small amusement park was only so big, and the place they were going wasn’t far either. This intimate journey very quickly came to an end.

Shu Mengli gently covered Jiang Weilu’s eyes as she brought her to a halt. Bending down slightly, she leaned close to the girl and spoke softly, “We’ve arrived.”

After speaking, she couldn’t help but daze slightly. She noticed something she hadn’t paid attention to before. She clearly remembered that the last time she held Lulu, the girl only reached her stomach. Yet coming back this time, she had already shot up to her chest; she only needed to bend down slightly to speak with her. At this exact moment, Shu Mengli truly realized that her Lulu was no longer that little carrot-top who whined and cried every single day.

Shu Mengli couldn’t restrain a soft laugh. It’s a good thing that the child has grown up.

Then, she spoke again, her voice falling into Jiang Weilu’s ears, incredibly soft and gentle. “Happy birthday, Lulu.”

Subsequently, she loosened her hands. Jiang Weilu, who had been brought here mysteriously and was dying of curiosity inside, was finally able to see the scene before her. She impatiently opened her eyes to look.

Her eyes, which had been in the dark for a long time, hadn’t yet adjusted to the sudden light. Jiang Weilu blinked. For a moment, she couldn’t see clearly what was in front of her, only vaguely sensing colorful lights flashing and twinkling.

After three seconds passed, her vision finally recovered completely. Jiang Weilu finally saw the object before her clearly, freezing on the spot instantly, entirely unable to snap out of it for a long time.

The scene before her eyes was far too dreamlike, causing a person to clearly stand on solid ground, yet feel as though they were floating among the clouds, tumbling straight into a dream. In a daze, it felt like falling into a river of stars, catching the starlight that filled the sky. Jiang Weilu looked at the scene, hazy tears pooling in her eyes, while the curve of her lips was both joyful and deeply moved.

Look. Right in front of her.

It was the single attraction lit up within the pitch-black amusement park—a merry-go-round gleaming with a dreamlike radiance, quietly stationary before their eyes. The small attraction was thoughtfully draped with colorful lights around its body, wound into beautiful shapes, emitting a brilliant glow around the merry-go-round. It was as if the stars filling the sky had been caught and brought before their eyes, or as if they had accidentally tumbled into the Milky Way, dreamlike and surreal. This scenery existed quietly within the night, looking exactly like a fairy realm from a child’s dream.

Shu Mengli looked at Jiang Weilu, whose eyes were glued to the scene, and let out a soft laugh. Stroking her head, she said softly, “This is an amusement park gifted to you and you alone. Happy birthday, Lulu.”

When she realized she actually hadn’t known Jiang Weilu’s birthday, Shu Mengli’s heart had been filled with immense guilt. But when she learned that Jiang Weilu had been growing increasingly busy in recent years, to the point where she didn’t even have time to rest or play, a thought gradually formed in her mind. She had always wished for Lulu to be happy, and she still did now. So a happy child ought to have a happy childhood; how could she have never been to an amusement park?

Actually, noticing this amusement park had been an accident. It was during her previous transmigration when she came to Jiang Weilu’s side to accompany her to school; sitting in the car, she had caught sight of this place completely by chance. She hadn’t thought much of it at the time, but remembering it now, it was a place that could absolutely make the child happy.

Thus, Shu Mengli planned everything beautifully. After coaxing Jiang Weilu, she relied on her memory from a few days prior to find this location. In the winter, the amusement park, which had very few visitors, had closed its gates early. Shu Mengli relied on her unique lock-picking skill to pop open the main gate, then walked into the amusement park to take a look around. In the end, she selected the merry-go-round, then used the remaining small colorful lights nearby to construct a beautiful scene, waiting for her little girl to come over.

Gifting the nighttime amusement park to her.

Of course, she had paid for it, and she had left an apology. This was because when she came up with this idea, Shu Mengli discovered that when she went to attend the cocktail party yesterday, the diamond stud earrings she was wearing had actually come along with her. At the time, Shu Mengli had been a bit puzzled; she had clearly tested it with a glass cup last time, and items couldn’t be brought in.

Subsequently, she reacted and corrected this hypothesis. It appeared the mirror space didn’t disallow bringing items inside, but rather disallowed bringing useless items inside. And this time, her earrings would be used to celebrate Lulu’s birthday.

Thinking of this at the time, Shu Mengli couldn’t help but knit her brows, a sudden thought surfacing. From the beginning of the transmigrations until now, the one receiving benefits had consistently been Lulu alone. And now, only items that could help Lulu could be brought inside. Looking at it this way, didn’t it seem as though the mirror was serving Lulu?

But the mirror could not speak, and no one could guess its thoughts. Furthermore, the mirror was beneficial to Lulu, and Shu Mengli was too happy to care, so she threw the hypothesis to the back of her mind after a short moment.

Speaking of which, the accessories Shu Mengli brought over this time weren’t cheap either; they were items from her own personal collection. The two stud earrings totaled eighty thousand yuan, which was more than enough to book out this small amusement park eight times over. But they were uninvited guests after all. Thus, Shu Mengli ultimately wrote a letter of apology, expressing her regrets. Then, she placed the earrings inside the apology letter and left them within the merry-go-round’s control room.

At this moment, Jiang Weilu also snapped back from her initial shock and deep emotion. Turning around, she threw her arms around Shu Mengli, her small voice carrying a sob. “Thank you, Sister!”

Shu Mengli gently stroked her head, taking Jiang Weilu’s hand to walk over toward the attraction. “Let’s go. Have you truly never ridden this before?”

Jiang Weilu nodded, allowing her sister to lead her along. Her eyes looking at Shu Mengli’s retreating figure were filled with absolute adoration and reliance. Past before, she had never imagined that there could actually be a person in this world who would spoil her to this extent indulging her tantrums, giving her a warm embrace, and teaching her hand-in-hand what it meant to smile and what it meant to love, ensuring she wouldn’t merely be a useless, hollow shell walking among mortals. Tonight, she had even personally built a tiny amusement park belonging only to her.

Jiang Weilu raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears on her cheek, making a vow in the depths of her heart: She must absolutely, forever and ever, stay together with Elder Sister!

The belated birthday gift brought immense joy to Jiang Weilu. After her sister accompanied her to play wildly for a long time, it wasn’t until midnight that the two of them returned home.

The next morning, they uncharacteristically stayed in bed, and even when the sun was high in the sky, the two of them still hadn’t climbed out of bed. Ultimately, the person on the bed was awakened by the sound of urgent knocking outside the door.

Jiang Weilu rubbed her eyes, sat up from the bed, and casually helped pull the quilt over her sister, who was still sleeping. Only then did she put on her slippers to go open the door. The child carried a bit of morning crankiness, and her expression was exceptionally foul when her hand twisted the doorknob.

To her surprise, the person outside the door had an expression even more severe than hers. Look standing at the doorway, the servant’s face was filled with panic. Seeing that Jiang Weilu had finally opened the door, she hurriedly spoke.

“Eldest Miss, this is bad, something huge has happened!”
