The sharp blade pierced his arm, but he felt no pain. He desperately pulled her into a tight embrace, crying, "Little Koi, don't scare me...please...wake up..."
These words stopped Jing Li's attack, the killing intent in her eyes receding. She blinked her blank eyes and called out with difficulty, "Si Fei...?!"
"It's me! You scared me to death! What happened?!"
He cupped her face in his hands, his heart overflowing with tenderness as he wiped away the bloodstains from her small face, his voice trembling slightly.
She flashed a bright smile, "I knew you would come to me, and say those words to me... I guessed right..."
She then completely lost consciousness in his arms.
...
After bringing Jingli home, he consulted a psychologist.
Although Jing Li had been receiving training, she had never actually fought. What prompted her, a complete novice, to dare to kill so many people in one go?
Based on his description, the psychologist offered a possible answer—psychological suggestion.
This is a hypnotic method. She must have used psychological suggestion to guide herself to become another person, which is why she did things that were completely different from her usual self.
It's equivalent to hypnotizing yourself into another personality.
To end the psychological suggestion and return to normal, one needs to give oneself a suggestion beforehand; hearing a certain sentence or seeing a certain action or person will make her recover.
The reason she was able to regain consciousness was probably because she gave herself a pre-emptive cue—to wake up.
The psychologist said that this method of hypnosis has drawbacks.
Over time, or if one doesn't hear or see the self-reflective prompts, it's very possible that one will never regain clarity.
Fei Mo had once opposed Jing Li using this kind of psychological suggestion, fearing that she would become a different person and would no longer be able to wake up.
But Jing Li said, "Who are you to me? What right do you have to tell me what to do?"
At that time, he really felt that she was heartless.
He was always by her side, but she would never turn around and look at him.
He had planned to confess his feelings to her on her 18th birthday.
In the end, however, they couldn't be together and instead became bitter enemies.
Like the Jing family, the Si family also originated from the underworld.
After learning of Jing Li's father's death, her father made a decision to absorb the Jing family's power.
After receiving the news, Fei Mo found herself in a dilemma.
On one side are his loving parents, and on the other is the girl he deeply loves...
In the end, he decided to give up everything for Jing Li, hoping to take her away from this life of fighting and killing, and find a place where no one knew them to start over.
His father thwarted his plans and sent men to assassinate her in his name.
By the time he received the news and arrived, she had already left and was never heard from again.
The Jing family's power was successfully absorbed by the father.
He suppressed his grief, endured humiliation and hardship, and gradually gained his father's trust, eventually forcing his father to step down, dismantling his power and replacing him with his own.
It took him five years to purge his father's people.
Outside, he was a cold-blooded person who even dealt with his own father.
Internally, he was actually the kind of fool who would give anything for Jing Li and was willing to bear any burden.
He kept waiting, waiting for the woman he loved to come back. He would tell her that he loved her and that everything he did was for her!
He would gladly give up everything he owned, even his life, with just a word from her.
Sadly, he died before he could hear the confession of his love...
