The last time he woke up was more than 20 years ago, when his body had reverted to a child's age, and he became an eight-year-old child who was sent to an orphanage.
After that, he carried with him the obsession to find Ah Jin until he finally met Chu Qianjin.
That night, when he saw Chu Qianjin in that dark alley, his intuition told him that the person in front of him was the one he had been looking for all along.
He saved Chu Qianjin and that's how they got to know each other.
The heart that had been dormant for many years finally showed signs of revival after seeing Chu Qianjin.
Even if Chu Qianjin knew nothing and couldn't tell him everything he wanted to know, he still wanted to stay by his side.
Countless nights, he would secretly come to Chu Qianjin's room and watch him until dawn.
Sometimes, he couldn't help but get closer.
Secretly, quietly, I dared not let Chu Qianjin know.
As everyone stared at the image on the Ten Directions Mirror, seeing Helian Shi bending down and slowly approaching the sleeping Chu Qianjin, their eyes widened instantly.
Just before the scene was about to reach its most exciting moment, Helian Shi suddenly realized something and immediately interrupted the memory screen.
The screen disappeared, and the excitement on everyone's faces was instantly replaced by disappointment.
Lu Qing pouted:
"A guy who does something but doesn't take responsibility is no fun!"
Helian Shi turned his back, his ears seemingly tinged with a blush.
"I already know where I came from, there's no need to read any further!"
Lu Qing's eyes darted around, and he quietly took back the Ten Directions Mirror.
"Fine, fine! If you don't want me to watch, then forget it!"
Helian Shi looked at Lu Qing, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Lu Qing knew what he was confused about, and quickly said:
"Don't overthink it! I'm Lu Qing, not Helian Qing. Helian Qing is from a past life, he has nothing to do with me, Lu Qing, and you're not my brother!"
"Similarly, my third brother is Chu Qianjin, not Jiang Jin. You can't demand anything from him in this life because of your obsession from the past life."
Helian Shi: "I understand! I will find an opportunity to explain this to Ajin. Whatever decision he makes, I will respect it."
After saying that, Helian Shi left.
As soon as he left, Lu Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Realizing that he was still afraid of Helian Shi, Lu Qing felt secretly annoyed.
Helian Qing was truly pathetic in that lifetime, actually carrying her fear of Helian Shi into her soul, affecting her as well.
With the matter resolved, Lan Aman withdrew the Gu worm from Gu Xicheng's body.
But the moment the worm emerged from his body, his stomach flipped over and he died.
"How did the Gu worm die?"
Lan Aman examined it with suspicion, and then discovered that the Gu worms had actually been burned to death by Gu Xicheng's blood.
"A body of extreme yang, no wonder!"
Lan Aman bowed deeply to Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng in apology:
"I'm so sorry! You two, I was only trying to protect myself and my daughter. Please forgive me!"
"It's alright! I understand. You helped us too, so we're even."
Lu Qing stretched and stood up to loosen her stiff body.
Helian Shi had quite a lot of memories; they watched it for a whole half day, fast-forwarding through it.
"Brother, we're leaving them to you now. We're heading back first," Lu Qing said to Wang Yanjun with a smile.
Wang Yanjun nodded: "Okay, you guys go ahead!"
Gu Xicheng got into the car with Lu Qing and left the Investigation Bureau.
On the way back, Lu Qing took out the Ten Directions Mirror again and retrieved Helian Shi's memories.
She hasn't even seen the most exciting part yet; it would be such a waste to let it slip by like this.
Looking at the scene of Helian Shi and Chu Qianjin cuddling together in the video, Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh:
Putting everything else aside, they're actually quite a good match!
Gu Xicheng coughed lightly, not daring to say a word.
In the Ten Directions Mirror, the scene showed Helian Shi gently stroking Chu Qianjin's cheek, greedily inhaling his scent.
Chu Qianjin doesn't like to sleep in clothes, so he is shirtless in the picture.
Lu Qing quickly covered her eyes, peeking through her fingers.
"We're going to kiss! We're going to kiss!"
Lu Qing's eyes widened, but at the most exciting moment, everything suddenly went black.
Someone covered her eyes!
"Who! Who covered my eyes!"
Lu Qing quickly pried the hands away, and then saw Helian Shi's head sticking out from the back seat.
"Delete the memory! Now! Immediately! Right now!"
Helian Shi's voice rang in her ears, startling Lu Qing so much that she quickly deleted all the memories from the Ten Directions Mirror. Then, she shrank her neck and weakly spoke:
"I...I didn't mean to!"
Helian Shi clenched his fist, raised it high, and then slammed it down on Lu Qing's head with a thud.
"ah!!!"
Lu Qing cried out in pain, about to curse, when Helian Shi vanished in an instant.
Unable to vent her anger, Lu Qing clutched her head and gritted her teeth:
"Helian Shi, you just wait!!"
Seeing Lu Qing like this, Gu Xicheng felt both amused and exasperated.
Upon returning to the Chu family home, Lu Qing burst into tears as soon as she got out of the car, and then tearfully went to Chu Qianjin to complain.
"Third brother, third brother, Helian Shi hit me!"
"Look at the bump on my head, he's the one who hit me!"
Lu Qing cried and sobbed.
Chu Qianjin finally realized what was happening:
"Qingqing, are you saying that Helian Shi beat you up? Could he possibly beat you?"
Lu Qing: "He...he ambushed me! He hit me and ran away!"
"If you don't believe me, ask Gu Xicheng. He can testify!"
Lu Qing glared at Gu Xicheng with a threatening look, and Gu Xicheng had no choice but to nod helplessly.
Chu Qianjin frowned slightly: "Qingqing, did you and Helian have a fight? Why would he hit you out of the blue?"
Lu Qing's face stiffened, feeling somewhat guilty.
If the reason why Helian Shi beat her were revealed, even her third brother would probably want to beat her up.
"He...he's sick! I don't know why he hit me!"
Chu Qianjin: "I'll call him right now!"
Lu Qing quickly grabbed him:
"No, no, no! Third Brother, I... I'm magnanimous, I won't hold it against him!"
Chu Qianjin looked puzzled, feeling that Lu Qing was acting strangely today.
"I have school tomorrow, so I'm going back to my room to sleep!"
"Third Brother, you should go to sleep early too, goodnight!"
Lu Qing ran away as soon as he finished speaking.
As she ran to the door, she added:
"Um... Third Brother, you should wear some clothes when you sleep at night. Boys should also protect their privacy."
Chu Qianjin was completely confused (⊙o⊙) ? ? ?
After Lu Qing left, he still called Helian Shi, but Helian Shi didn't answer, so he sent a message:
[Qingqing just told me you hit her? Why?]
Helian Shi still did not reply.
In the middle of the night, Chu Qianjin was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by a cool breeze.
He groggily opened his eyes and saw a figure appear beside his bed.
He was startled and quickly reached out to turn on the light.
As soon as the lights came on, he was terrified upon seeing who it was:
"Helian! How did you get in?"
