He's gone.
After returning home, Bai Lu fell seriously ill.
The family was terrified, and everything was in complete chaos.
The father felt extremely guilty and, after investigating the matter, dealt with the financier and all those involved.
Her grandfather arranged for her to have a retired military bodyguard.
My father and grandfather also arranged for bodyguards to be hidden in the shadows.
White Dew's refusal is ineffective.
I told my family about giving him the card and agreeing to "him" the offer. They all agreed and tacitly ignored his identity.
He also instructed the guards and security personnel to keep an eye on the card distribution.
But Bai Lu waited from high school to college graduation, and he never came to find her.
There was no news related to issuing cards.
He seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace, and even surveillance footage showed no sign of him.
Accompanied by his family, Bai Lu watched the surveillance footage of all the roads, from the abandoned hospital to the family compound, where his figure was hidden in the darkness.
The roads they traveled were all in blind spots of surveillance.
On only seven occasions, when he appeared in the monitored area, Bai Lu turned around to check if he was still there, and he silently deviated from his route and appeared in her line of sight.
She continued walking forward, and he disappeared back into the shadows; the whole thing took no more than three seconds.
The angle from which it appears is always clever, only a fleeting black shadow, making it difficult to even capture its height and shape.
Not to mention, the silhouette beneath the mask.
Bai Lu only remembers his eyes.
I painted his eyes.
Using AI image restoration software, his face was reconstructed, but when his relatives in the police force were asked to verify his identity, no such person could be found, not even on the external internet.
Clearly, there was an error in the appearance restoration.
The same result occurred many times afterward.
Bai Lu had no choice but to give up and wait for him to come to her.
As we waited, the 21st century turned into the 1990s.
Bai Lu looked at the Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon in her hand, now missing the white jade beads, sighed, and suddenly sat up straight.
She stared intently into Xiao Cheng's eyes.
I hope to find similarities in his eyes.
Just like when she asked about the hair clip before, she possessed an innate aloofness, occasional gentleness, a nervousness hidden in her eyes, and an almost imperceptible possessiveness...
It has everything.
The only thing missing was the look of someone staring at a dead person.
Okay, Bai Lu will remember the way that guy looked at a dead person. After all, the first time she saw him was when she interrupted his business, and that's when he looked back at a dead person.
That look in his eyes... indescribable, it was like a demon, a monster, crawling out of hell.
Xiao Cheng didn't have that kind of look in his eyes.
When beating people, there was only brutality, disdain, and cold indifference; that was how Bai Lu remembered it.
As for the previous life...
The memories of Xiao Cheng that Bai Lu saw were incomplete; he had hidden some parts deep within them.
She couldn't see it.
Xiao Cheng did indeed activate his defense mechanisms against her, but he could control his own consciousness. There were some memories he didn't want her to see, so his subconscious would hide them.
She wanted to see if it would take more effort, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn't notice and interrupt.
After all, he had interrupted...
"You really haven't dreamed about hair clips even once?"
Bai Lu herself is a reincarnated person, so she has a strong reason to suspect that Xiao Cheng's ability to have a jeweler make an identical Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon hair clip and to acknowledge that the white jade bead in the middle is missing is very likely due to the awakening of his past life memories.
Seeing fragments of memories from a past life in a dream.
"No."
Xiao Cheng could tell from Bai Lu's eyes that the pearl hair clip was very important to her, but he really didn't dream about it.
Aside from the big house, Xiao Wei's affairs, and her departure... there was nothing else.
Hearing the answer she didn't want to hear again, Bai Lu sighed and sullenly nestled back into Xiao Cheng's arms.
However, he did not completely deny his own guess.
There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world.
But if that person is Xiao Cheng, then why would Xiao Cheng be involved in the "plan"?
She had told that person her father's name, so the other person must know that the person they were "planning" to target was her father. And a quick investigation revealed that her maternal grandfather was also involved.
Since he saved her, why...?
Could there be a hidden story?
After Bai Lu decided to be with Xiao Cheng, she suppressed the "plan" in her heart. After all, no one can define the truth in advance for something that has not yet happened.
But now, the appearance of the hair clip has stirred up the past, inevitably causing complex emotions.
I wonder if anything unexpected happened to the plan after she left, whether it was interrupted or proceeded as scheduled.
She hoped that Xiao Cheng was the masked man who saved her, and that meeting the decision-maker who "launched the plan" might reveal the truth.
At the same time, she was afraid that Xiao Cheng was a masked man, and that his purpose in meeting the decision-maker was the truth she could not bear.
Bai Lu wasn't sure if this place was in the same time and space as her previous life, or a parallel world.
The only option is to stay away from the capital with Xiao Cheng and prevent the "plan" from happening again.
Regardless of whether Xiao Cheng is the masked man or not, whether he is related to the plan or not, Bai Lu will not arbitrarily convict Xiao Cheng before the truth is revealed.
And we won't forget the important points.
Before she arrived, the plan had just begun and hadn't yet reached the point of harming her father and grandfather. Anything that hasn't happened yet is always subject to change.
Everything is uncertain, so no conclusions can be drawn.
Bai Lu's only hope now is that Xiao Cheng is the masked man.
Given the masked man's look of utter contempt, he certainly wouldn't offer help to a stranger just because he felt sorry for them.
Not to mention, after rescuing the stranger, they even took him home.
But he saved her, personally escorted her home, and didn't ask for any reward.
Even the hair clip was given to him by her; he accepted it but never looked for her again, as if saving her was just a casual act.
Is it possible for a "killer" who is very likely a killer to save a stranger for no reason?
--impossible.
Perhaps the masked man saved her not without reason, but for some other hidden reason.
Bai Lu hopes the masked man will save her for a reason, and she also hopes he will participate in the "plan" for a reason.
I'd rather Xiao Cheng was a masked man.
Hopefully, Xiao Cheng will awaken his past life memories and remember that the hair clip was his, or that he had seen it in someone else's hands.
"Acheng, will you still have dreams tonight?" Bai Lu looked at Xiao Cheng with anticipation.
Xiao Cheng asked, "What dream?"
"That dream about the big house last time..."...That kind of architecture from later generations must be a dream of awakened memories.
Xiao Cheng also recalled that bizarre dream, and seeing the pearl hairpin clutched tightly in Bai Lu's hand, he roughly understood why she wanted him to have that kind of dream.
"It's hard to say."
Bai Lu held the hair clip in front of him, which happened to enclose a space around his eyes, making the resemblance even more striking.
What kind of pre-dream guidance do I need?
Through the crescent moon, Xiao Cheng looked into the girl's expectant eyes and tightened his arms around her slender, soft waist.
He said, "That's a good thing."
Bai Lu immediately asked, "What good thing?"
Xiao Cheng looked at her without saying a word.
Bai Lu decisively kissed his cheek, but he shook his head, so she kissed the other cheek instead.
He shook his head again.
Bai Lu decisively wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss.
After a long while...
Xiao Cheng slightly lifted the corners of his reddened eyes and whispered in her ear, "Do you really want it?"
Bai Lu nodded vigorously, nodding like a chick pecking at rice: "Mmm-hmm! You're dreaming!"
