Xu Yiling already knew, but he didn't expose his good brother. They only talked about it in private when Lin Jingyue wasn't home.

After only a few days of peace, the police came to his door and took him away. Because it happened so suddenly, he was all alone.

Lin Hu followed along and found out that it was Xiang Xiyu who had reported the incident to the police.

It was said that Lin Hu stole one million from his family. Despite being nearly two thousand kilometers away, Lin Hu couldn't help but sigh: Xiang Xiyu really had a tough time, still chasing after him.

After informing Xiang's parents, Lin Hu finally witnessed Xiang Xiyu's despicable nature.

When they first met, Xiang's mother originally intended to hug him, but after Xiang Xiyu made a sarcastic remark that he might have stolen money from the family, Xiang's mother's attitude changed.

Specifically, this manifests as not looking at him with loving eyes, nor wanting to have physical contact with him, indicating that he is some kind of contagious, dirty thing.

In the end, to prevent Lin Jingyue from finding out about this and to avoid unnecessary worry, Lin Hu and the others returned to Haishi.

Later, Lin Hu gradually realized that he, who grew up in an ordinary family, could never compare to the young masters who grew up in big cities.

Having neither cunning nor money, I witnessed firsthand on my first day at this new school what it means to have money to make the devil turn the millstone.

He was no match for Xiang Xiyu. At home, the young master Xiang had servants to help him, and at school, he had followers and suitors to help deal with him, the superfluous one.

Even after they learned that he was the real young master of the Xiang family, they still surrounded Xiang Xiyu.

He only had an ordinary background, a mother who didn't want to get involved, and two blind biological parents.

Back then, he would occasionally go back to Lin Jingyue's place to stay for a few days, but his biological parents disliked his home there, and none of the friends he made were to their liking.

In their words, they are all from the lower class, while they are from the upper class.

Because Lin Hu's background had already been revealed, they were afraid he would embarrass his family if he went out, so they tried to reduce his outings and even cut off his contact with his adoptive mother. He stayed at home with a tutor for all four years of university.

Later, he heard that his adoptive mother had been in a car accident on her way to find him and died on the spot.

Lin Hu felt as if he had suddenly lost his home. That night was the first and last time Lin Hu cried since he grew up.

After that night, he started learning things he didn't want to learn, playing the piano he hated. He wanted to fight for what belonged to the family and trample the fake young master underfoot.

Later, Lin Hu discovered that his father cared a lot about the bloodline of the company's succession, so he began to study harder.

It was at this time that the fake young master felt threatened, so he hired someone to stage a car accident on the way to the company in Linhu.

At that time, Lin Hu's stomach problems flared up again because he hadn't paid attention to his diet due to long hours of work.

He parked his car on the side of the road, too much pain to walk, so he ordered takeout and waited in the parking space.

A bus suddenly veered towards the driver's seat of his vehicle.

Lin Hu vaguely saw Xiang Xiyu smiling at him in the distance. The other person's mouth was opening and closing as if saying something, but his ears were ringing and he couldn't hear clearly, and he gradually couldn't see clearly either.

In his last moments of consciousness, he remembered lying on a hospital bed, surrounded by the sounds of electronic devices.

...

Lin Hu didn't hear what was said after that. He only felt a dull ache in his head and rubbed his temples.

It felt like the scene flashed before my eyes.

He and Duan Linzhou found themselves in an unfamiliar environment.

Upon seeing this, Duan Linzhou took the initiative to stand behind the person and raised his hand to pass the other person over.

A surge of supernatural power appeared, and warm fingertips gently pressed on Lin Hu's temples.

"Does it still hurt?" Duan Linzhou asked softly.

"I feel much better." Lin Hu didn't move away, but leaned back. At his current height, the back of his head was right against Duan Linzhou's chest. Feeling that familiar presence, Lin Hu felt a little calmer.

"You remember now?" Although Duan Linzhou was asking, he had already confirmed Pinglin Lake's actions.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Duan," Lin Hu said sincerely.

The two leaned against each other, looking at the manor in front of them.

Lin Hu, with his fifteen-year-old body, witnessed a re-enactment of his past experiences.

"Brother Duan, how did you find me?" Lin Hu asked, his gaze calmly fixed on the awkward expression on Lin Hu's face after hearing the surrounding people's comments.

He has calmed down now and knows that he must have fallen under the spell of the mermaid's song, just like Duan Linzhou and the others before.

He didn't know when he contracted the virus, but Duan Linzhou was there for him.

Even if we die together, it's not a loss.

Even if he didn't die, it wouldn't matter if Duan Linzhou saw his identity from another world.

Anyway, Ling Jiuqi only said that she couldn't tell anyone else. If someone else found out on their own, they can't blame her.

Duan Linzhou didn't speak, but took a rose from Lin Hu's coat pocket.

"Xiao Wei?" Lin Hu reached out and took it, looking at the still-opening petals in surprise.

"Hmm, and this too." Duan Linzhou opened his palm, revealing a golden scale.

Lin Hu knew without a doubt that these were Ao Jinjin's dragon scales, as he had seen Ao Jinjin's original form before.

Duan Linzhou reached out and stopped Lin Hu's arm, pulling him close to his chest.

He then looked at the scene that had changed again: a car accident scene on a highway, where a woman was struggling to unbuckle her seatbelt and climb out.

The opening was too small, and she got stuck. In the end, despair filled her eyes as she was swallowed by the fire snake.

Lin Hu tightened his grip on Duan Linzhou's coat.

The final scene flashes back to that dilapidated classroom, where Duan Linzhou feels Lin Hu's body trembling slightly.
