In that moment of unconsciousness, Han Chengliu seemed to step into a mysterious time portal, miraculously accessing the memories belonging to Xiao Liu within this body.

The memory played out like a movie before his eyes.

His second sister and Xiao Wu were tricked away by human traffickers, plunging him into deep helplessness and despair.

He had assumed that everything would unfold as he had experienced: after his second sister and fifth sister disappeared, they would be forcibly sent to an orphanage.

However, the scene suddenly changed; the police arrived and surrounded the building. It turned out that someone had called the police, rescuing the second sister and the fifth sister.

When he learned that they had been rescued by a kind old man, he was filled with endless gratitude.

He saw in the video that after his eldest brother received the news, he led them to the police station, eager to see his second sister and Xiao Wu. At the same time, he was also full of anticipation to see the benefactor who had saved them.

When they finally met their benefactor, he looked exactly like the grandfather in the photo!

They conducted an analysis.

That's right, he is the grandfather they have been searching for all this time!

With their grandfather, they were no longer helpless children. They no longer had to step into that terrifying orphanage, nor did they have to endure the pain of being separated from their families by being adopted by others.

The arrival of their grandfather brought about a complete transformation in their lives.

With his rough hands, Grandpa strung candied hawthorns and made steamed buns, setting up a stall to provide them with a warm haven, and with his unwavering gaze, he dispelled the gloom in their hearts.

Under their grandfather's care, they felt an unprecedented sense of security and happiness.

Han Chengliu felt as if she were experiencing all of this through Xiao Liu's memories, and tears welled up uncontrollably...

His gratitude towards his grandfather was like a surging river, never-ending.

Grandpa was their savior.

He strongly sensed Xiao Liu's emotions and will: I will cherish every moment with my grandfather, study hard, and strive to become an outstanding person. I will repay my grandfather's kindness in raising me with my achievements, and make him proud of me!

For Yu Xiaoliu, it meant gaining a loving grandfather and avoiding being sent to an orphanage. But for Han Chengliu, the grandfather truly saved all seven of them and changed their tragic fate!

He knew better than anyone what they would have faced if his grandfather hadn't appeared and if this turning point hadn't occurred!

The eldest brother will be executed!

My second sister fell into the water and disappeared without a trace!

My third brother will go insane and be imprisoned in a mental hospital!

Fourth Brother may have been blown up, or perhaps he had been deceiving people his whole life and ended up faking his death to continue deceiving the world!

Fifth Brother died at the youngest and most popular time of his life, and tragically, he died at the hands of Third Brother!

Xiao Qi... his most beloved younger sister would appear before him in the most tragic, bloody and mangled state. He had been searching for his sister desperately, but in the end, he could only find a cold corpse...

After the memory screen dissipated, a little boy appeared.

The little boy was exquisitely beautiful, about six or seven years old, and very well-fed; he was clearly a rich young master.

The little boy opened his large, clear black and white eyes, his gaze bright and alert: "Who are you?"

Han Chengliu gazed at the child, who seemed both familiar and strange.

This is Xiao Liu after his fate was changed. He is well-cared for and still retains innocence in his eyes. But the Xiao Liu he remembers at age six or seven is completely different from the Xiao Liu he is now.

At the age of five, he was forced to separate from his sister and taken away by his adoptive father, Andy. Since then, he has witnessed too much of the world's cruelty and ruthlessness. His eyes gradually lost their light, their innocence vanished, leaving only indifference, numbness, and emptiness.

It turns out that a small change in life can bring about so many changes.

"Who I am doesn't matter. I envy you, Xiao Liu."

"You know me?" Xiao Liu frowned and carefully examined the other person: "You look like me grown up in a dream."

"No, the you that grows up won't become me; that's just a nightmare."

"Was that a dream?" Xiao Liu's eyes were full of doubt. "But it felt so real. Seeing my sister's body made me so sad..."

"It's just a dream. You can wake up now and go see your grandfather and sister."

"And what about you?"

"I..." Han Chengliu chuckled softly, forcing a smile. Since his sister's death, he had forgotten how to smile. "I'm so tired, so very tired. I haven't had a full night's sleep since leaving the orphanage. I want to sleep... I want to sleep..."

Will I ever see you again?

"If you have a strong desire to see me, perhaps you can awaken me."

Are you sleeping inside my body?

"Perhaps... or perhaps it's just floating somewhere... I don't know..."

"If you don't know, then who would?"

"Why don't you ask your uncle? Maybe he can give you an answer. Come on, don't disturb my sleep..."

Han Chengliu gradually closed his eyes. He understood what his uncle had said: "Xiao Liu, you can't make any more mistakes. Your uncle will help you one last time. As for the outcome, it's up to fate."

This may be the chance for rebirth that the uncle gained by sacrificing his soul.

But……

Uncle, I don't need it anymore...

How could someone as filthy as me deserve the wonderful life I have now?

Let this pure soul continue to enjoy the beauty of this life...

I, burdened with sin and filthy of soul, will sleep eternally in this endless darkness...

Ask your uncle? Does your uncle know the answer? Xiao Liu wanted to continue asking, but it was as if an invisible gust of wind forcibly blew him out of this long passage of time.

He turned back to look at the gaunt man, but could only see darkness...

"Brother! Why are you asleep again!"

"Brother, Xiaoqi just went to get a glass of water, how come you fell asleep again? You're such a sleepyhead!"

A childish, complaining voice rang in my ears, muttering to itself.

Xiao Liu felt his body was very heavy. He tried to move, and heard his younger sister exclaim, "Grandpa, brother moved! He's waking up!"

Xiao Liu slowly woke up and looked at his little sister's pitiful little face with tears in her eyes: "Brother, you're finally awake! You can't sleep anymore!"

Xiao Liu felt a dry, sore throat. Seeing the water glass in her sister's hand, she weakly said, "Water..."

"The water's here!" Xiaoqi quickly brought the water cup to her brother's lips.

The little girl wasn't very good at taking care of people; she was clumsy and spilled most of the water out of the cup, but at least Xiao Liu managed to drink a little bit.

With the nourishment of water, Xiao Liu felt as if his body and soul had merged again. The feeling of losing control over his body and soul, which he had just experienced, disappeared.

"Brother, do you know me?" Xiao Qi snuggled up to him, pressing her soft, white face against his cheek with affection and care.

His younger sister rarely clung to him like this anymore; now she's as clingy as a kitten, clearly a sign of extreme insecurity.

Xiao Liu quickly and gently hugged his younger sister, whispering, "Xiao Qi, how could your brother forget you?"

"Brother, you looked like you turned into a little fool just now. Your eyes were different, and you looked really strange!"

"Was I... awake just now?" Xiao Liu frowned deeply, deep in thought.
