They snatched the small trinkets from Qiu Bai's hands first.

Unfortunately, he didn't manage to conjure up anything strange even after returning to the villa at the academy.

However, he has absolute control.

Although he doesn't have the same advanced programming skills as his older brother, he has money!

Therefore, he upgraded the villa's security level to the highest level to prevent peeping and intrusion.

After activating the defense, he looked at Qiu Bai and Chu Rui with a lazy yet amused expression.

Twirling the small, tattered item in his hand, he said, "Shouldn't you two explain to me what this is?"

"I don't know." Chu Rui glanced at him expressionlessly. He wasn't really sure either; he just saw it on the list, and it was that flower that he recognized so well, so he was going to take a picture of it.

He had seen that flower before on the hill behind the Bai family's old house, but it was already dilapidated, with only a few blooming.

Lu raised an eyebrow, gesturing to Qiu Bai. Qiu Bai clenched her teeth, looked at him quietly, and then extended her hand.

"I'll count to three, then give it to me."

Lu Fangyao blinked, a slight laugh escaping his throat. "Little Bai is really audacious! But..."

Qiu Bai was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he walked up to him and threw him over his shoulder without any regard for the fact that he was the boss's younger brother.

When this person has a fit of adolescent delusions, they should be given a good beating, otherwise they won't listen to reason.

"Ouch, that hurts. Honey, could you be a little gentler next time?" Lu Fangyao rubbed his shoulder, his eyes filled with resentment. Couldn't they just let him finish what he was saying? He was just trying to lighten the mood, but everyone was so expressionless and sullen. How boring.

Qiu Bai ignored him, but was drawn to the small, broken item in her hand. The flowers carved by hand on the outside were very familiar to her, and even though it was damaged, it was still recognizable.

This small black box, when opened, revealed a camera device from many years ago. Qiu Bai directly removed the electronic chip from inside.

It also has a charcoal black color on it. I don't know if I can view it, so I'll just choose to read the data using her wrist brain.

"Data loading..."

"Eighty percent of the data is corrupted."

Play?

The voice was purely mechanical. Qiu Bai looked at the flower, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly.

"Play, share on public screen."

"yes."

The visuals were already cluttered, the sound was inaudible, and there was even a large section of screen glitches at the beginning, as if testing one's patience.

Lu Fangyao appeared beside Qiu Bai without her noticing. "Don't be afraid, I'm with you."

Qiu Bai glanced at him, about to say something, but stopped herself as sound began to appear on the screen.

The child's tender voice seemed to be filming the sky haphazardly with a video camera, in a very cheerful mood, even taking a small flower very seriously.

"How beautiful, flowers!"

As soon as the sweet, childlike voice came out, Qiu Bai froze. The small, fair hand that occasionally appeared in the frame was hers, because there was a dark red number on the elbow: "one".

She involuntarily pinched her right elbow. When the eldest brother saved her, he was worried that this mark was left by her parents, so he didn't know it clearly.

The sound of rustling footsteps approaching can be heard in the video, followed by a cool, tense voice.

"Xiaoyi, stop playing, they're coming."

"But I haven't been out for a long time. Maybe I'll die next time. Who will keep Xiaoling company then?"

The voice belonged to a man, and upon hearing the child's innocent words, he simply sighed softly, "No, I won't let Xiao Yi die."
