Helian Shi sat down on the bed and pointed to the open window.
"Are you crazy! My room is on the third floor. You climbed in through the window. Aren't you afraid of falling to your death?" Chu Qianjin's eyes widened.
Looking at the vibrant Chu Qianjin, Helian Shi suddenly smiled:
"You are somewhat different in this life compared to that life!"
Chu Qianjin asked, puzzled, "Helian, what are you talking about?"
"What brings you into my house so late at night?"
Helian Shi raised his eyes and looked intently at Chu Qianjin:
"I've thought about this for a long time, and I still need you to know these things, otherwise I won't be at peace."
"What's wrong?" Chu Qianjin asked.
Helian Shi raised his hand and gently touched Chu Qianjin's brow, thus imprinting large chunks of memories into her.
Chu Qianjin felt a slight headache, but the strange yet familiar scene quickly attracted his attention.
Downstairs, Lu Qing silently got up, changed her clothes, and packed her things to sneak back to school that night when she noticed Helian Shi coming in.
If Helian Shi complains to her third brother, she can still hide.
There were many memories, and Helian Shi was afraid that Chu Qianjin would not be able to handle them if she absorbed them too quickly, so he could only take it slowly.
Chu Qianjin didn't fully recall her memories of her entire life until dawn.
"Jiang Jin! It's me, Jiang Jin!" Chu Qianjin could hardly believe it.
“No! Jiang Jin is your past life, and in this life you are Chu Qianjin!” Helian Shi said in a deep voice.
"Helian, you..."
Chu Qianjin didn't know what to say, nor did she know whether to face him as Jiang Jin or as Chu Qianjin.
“Ah Jin, I know it’s sudden to make you accept these unfamiliar memories, but I just want an answer.”
Helian Shi's eyes were slightly red as he looked at Chu Qianjin and said:
I used to want to keep you by my side, but I didn't know if you would want to be by my side.
"Could you answer me, as Jiang Jin, if you're willing to stay by my side?"
Chu Qianjin's heart suddenly skipped a beat:
"I……"
Jiang Jin's memories told him that he was willing.
But he is Chu Qianjin. Even if he recalls his memories as Jiang Jin, he is still Chu Qianjin.
He is not Jiang Jin, and cannot answer for him.
"Helian, I'm sorry! I can't answer your question!"
Helian Shi suddenly gave a bitter laugh, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes:
"As expected, Lu Qing was right. Chu Qianjin is not Jiang Jin, not my Ajin."
"My Ah Jin is long gone."
"Hehehe..."
Helian Shi's laughter was filled with sorrow. He turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the rising sun.
"Helian!"
Chu Qianjin felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.
Watching Helian Shi's disappearing figure, his brows furrowed tightly.
Now he has Jiang Jin's memories, knows about his connection with Helian Shi, and knows how much he has sacrificed to find Jiang Jin.
It's impossible to say that I wasn't moved at all.
But the thought that Helian Shi had approached him because of Jiang Jin made him feel very uncomfortable.
Jiang Jin and Chu Qianjin are two different people!
Chu Qianjin sighed heavily, took a shower, changed her clothes, and went to work.
He's not one to dwell on things; since he can't make a decision right now, he'll leave it to time.
Lu Qing slept alone in the dormitory for one night.
When she woke up in the morning, she was startled to see Helian Shi sitting in her chair.
"Helian Shi, do you have a habit of squatting by people's bedsides in the middle of the night?"
Lu Qing got out of bed and sat down in a chair.
Looking at the dark circles under Helian Shi's eyes, he couldn't help but frown:
"Judging from your expression, are you regretting telling him?"
Helian Shi shook his head: "I don't regret it, but... it's not pleasant, it's uncomfortable, it's like... I'm going to lose something again."
"I told you long ago, Chu Qianjin is not Jiang Jin. You approached him for Jiang Jin's sake. Even if Jiang Jin is Third Brother's past life, they are still two different people. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation."
Lu Qing sighed: "Now you and Third Brother probably won't even be able to be friends anymore!"
Helian Shi's eyes darkened: "I can tell, you're mocking me!"
Lu Qing felt a chill run down his spine and retreated quickly into a defensive stance.
"Don't wrong me. I'm just stating the facts. I didn't mean to mock you."
Helian Shi suddenly deflated and lowered his head:
"Fine! You're right to laugh at me!"
"I have lived in a daze for thousands of years, and in the end I have accomplished nothing, but instead I have caused trouble for others."
Lu Qing mustered his courage and patted Helian Shi on the shoulder, smiling as he said:
"You don't need to be so pessimistic."
"Think about it from another angle. When you met Third Brother, you had no memory of him. Although finding Jiang Jin was your obsession, you had no idea that Chu Qianjin was Jiang Jin when you had no memory of him."
"Under these circumstances, you still like him, protect him, and want to be with him. Doesn't that mean your feelings for Chu Qianjin aren't because of Jiang Jin?"
Helian Shi frowned slightly: "Really?"
Lu Qing: "Hmm... I'm asking you, do Chu Qianjin and Jiang Jin look the same?"
Helian Shi shook his head.
After all, a thousand years have passed and countless reincarnations have taken place, so Chu Qianjin's appearance is quite different from Jiang Jin's.
Lu Qing: "Are their personalities the same?"
Helian Shi shook his head again.
Jiang Jin is frail and sickly. Although kind, she is cunning and sometimes even a bit dark.
But Chu Qianjin is gentle and refined, cheerful, a little bit repressed, and occasionally has a bit of a sense of humor.
These two people have completely different personalities.
"That explains it! They're not the same person at all. The person you've known for so long, the one you climb through the window to get close to every night, is Chu Qianjin. Doesn't that prove your feelings?"
After listening to Lu Qing's words, Helian Shi suddenly understood.
"I see!"
"Thank you, Lu Qing!"
After saying that, Helian Shi disappeared from the dormitory.
Lu Qing let out a breath. He had given all the advice he could; now it was up to him.
Putting aside the matter of Jiang Jin in her previous life, Chu Qianjin and Helian Shi are quite compatible.
She had calculated her third brother's marriage prospects and concluded that he was destined to be unlucky with women, but would have a long and complicated relationship with Helian Shi.
I hope they both have a good outcome!
Lu Qing put the matter out of her mind, grabbed a bath towel, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
She was so frightened by Helian Shi's glare that she broke out in a cold sweat and only felt better after taking a shower.
In the afternoon, Gu Fei, Cheng Yiyi, Leng Wei, and Yang Xiwen returned to the dormitory one after another. Except for Gu Fei, they all carried a whole suitcase full of local specialties, including snacks, fruits, dried fruits, and so on.
Lu Qing's desk was soon piled high with things.
Lu Qing didn't stand on ceremony and accepted all the gifts. Then he took out some gifts he had brought back from Yutai Mountain and distributed them to them.
"One of these thousand-year-old peach wood amulets for each of you, and also these Wenchang talismans. We're going to take the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4) soon, so bring these Wenchang talismans and you'll pass every exam!"
The three of them quickly packed up their belongings and hid them in their arms like precious treasures.
As for Gu Fei, she already had her protective amulet and talisman on her body.
