From their initial tentative encounter to their later yearning to become one, Xiang Wan could sense Qiu Rui's profound affection. However, now was not the time for them to be together.

After the kiss ended, Xiang Wan and Qiu Rui sat down on the sofa together.

The two stood very close, face to face, knee to knee. They were mutually attracted, yet separated by a thousand thoughts and worries.

"Did you post that message?"

There was much to say and many things to sort out. Xiang Wan didn't know where to begin, but after thinking it over, she decided to ask this first.

She desperately wanted to know whether "she" had given Qiu Rui her business card or had used other means to contact him privately.

Qiu Rui opened his mouth, sighed, and said, "I've been keeping an eye on you until the day you were discharged from the hospital and met with Liu Yude."

Xiang Wan's mind raced. "He gave you my business card?"

Qiu Rui shook his head. "There are many ways to get to know someone in all aspects."

Is this telling her that someone is spying on her?

impossible!

Since waking up in the hospital, she has been exercising her spiritual awareness. She can immediately detect any slight movement or surveillance camera activity around her.

Unless, Qiu Rui is maintaining contact with her under another identity.

This person must be very familiar with her; he is one of the few people she has a personal relationship with.

Using the process of elimination, only his friends in the game or the hacker "KK" remain, if he doesn't possess special abilities like her.

Xiang Wan looked into his eyes and asked in a soft yet undeniable voice, "Are you KK?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Qiu Rui's eyes, but he instantly snapped out of it and reached out to pat Xiang Wan's head: "You're not the only one in this world with special abilities."

This statement essentially revealed his identity.

Xiang Wan's vague feeling was right; this was him, the one who had accompanied her through countless worlds.

The question is, if Xiang Wan has memories, why doesn't he?

Thinking this, Xiang Wan asked the question.

Qiu Rui smiled wryly and said, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Just know that following and traveling to a specific world comes at a price, and that's enough."

He didn't intend to say, so Xiang Wan didn't ask any further.

No matter how many doubts there are, they can only be understood when she truly returns.

Qiu Rui recounted a long story, explaining that when he first woke up, he found himself abroad. His brain treatment lasted a considerable period, and he only returned to China after he had almost fully recovered.

Upon returning, he went to find Xiang Wan, only to discover that she was simply living according to her instincts. In order not to disrupt her life, he chose to temporarily sever all overt contact and communicate with her under the identity of KK.

He didn't know when it started, but he realized that someone was deliberately targeting her.

From the initial theft of documents to the occasional manipulation of evaluation data, although she managed to recover the losses as quickly as possible, he did not let his guard down and secretly helped her find the people targeting her.

This person is very cautious; every time he touches a crucial clue, the other party disappears, making him quite difficult to deal with.

After several exchanges, he began to suspect that his opponent might possess the same abilities as him, but had not directly attacked due to the suppression of the rules of this world.

This time, when Xiang Wan got into a car accident, he was certain that it was the work of a mastermind.

If it were the Xiang Wan of the past, she most likely wouldn't have investigated. So, the moment Xiang Wan met Liu Yude, he knew she was different from before.

I desperately wanted to see her, but I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so I left a message.

Xiang Wan nodded. If you put this person who was targeting her into the category of Qiu Rui's fiancée, she wouldn't find it strange at all.

Seeing Xiang Wan raise an eyebrow, Qiu Rui sighed and said, "Don't believe the rumors."

There's no smoke without fire, and besides, you're of marriageable age.

He made a joke about it, but Qiu Rui looked at him intently and said, "If you want a marriage certificate, you can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow."

Xiang Wan chuckled and shook her head.

Even if she were to get married, she should have told everyone openly and honestly, instead of making decisions in private and subjecting her parents to criticism from the outside world.

He got up and walked around the house. The signs of habitation were quite obvious. It looked very clean, but the dust on the windowsill, the kitchen utensils that hadn't been used in a long time, and the makeshift trash cans all indicated that he hadn't lived here for long, at least not in the near future.

As they chatted, it got quite late, and Xiang Wan decided to go home.

Qiu Rui wanted to persuade her to stay, but seeing Xiang Wan's resolute attitude, he stopped insisting and saw her into the car.

The night is like a giant monster, devouring everything.

The dazzling lights and bustling traffic outside the window contrasted sharply with her quiet presence inside the car.

We arrived at the intersection again. The red light flashed a few times, then turned yellow, and then green.

Xiang Wan stepped on the gas and drove forward, but suddenly felt something was wrong. She swerved and stopped the car on the curve after the white line. A series of braking sounds came from behind, but fortunately, the cars had just started moving and were not going fast.

The driver of the car behind rolled down his window, about to yell a curse, when a truck loaded with sand came speeding from the opposite direction. The driver inside honked the horn frantically as the truck sped into the green belt next to the road, crashed into a lamppost, and overturned a short distance away.

The drivers behind were dumbfounded. They silently rolled up their windows, slowly started moving, and drove off into the main road.

That dump truck was going the wrong way. If Xiang Wan hadn't braked at the time, it would have been overturned and buried in the sand.

After the traffic accident, many cars started to drive around it, and some people parked their cars on the side of the road, got out of their cars to call the police, and went forward to check the situation.
