"All the debts this world owed her in her past life will be transformed into unparalleled talents for her to shine in her next life."
Li Mingke stayed in his room and didn't come out for a whole month.
Li Zengqing felt sorry for her and stayed with her day and night. Wu Xilan handled all the social engagements outside, while her younger sister, Li Pinyue, stood outside the room with a long gun, shooting anyone who came near.
Several groups of people have been dealt with within a month.
Li Mingke leaned against his mother's chest, eating oranges that had just been harvested this year.
"Mother~" she said sweetly, drawing out the sound as she hugged her mother's neck.
"My Mingke!" Li Zengqing hugged her tightly.
At first, when she sank to the bottom of the sea and unfamiliar memories flooded her mind like seawater, she was devastated.
Those memories, whether painful or joyful, were not hers at all.
However, when she, as an observer, experienced the exact same joys and sorrows as Lin Banjian, she realized what was happening.
She is Lin Banjian.
Or perhaps, she is the reincarnation of Lin Banjian.
In an instant, she understood everything.
The parents' concealment, the younger sister's protection—everything had a reason.
So many people have sacrificed for her.
She didn't know how she got back to the Li family home, she only knew that when she saw her mother's anxious face, she couldn't hold back anymore and rushed into her arms.
They're finally back!
Later, she hid in the house.
Actually, she figured it out in three days.
She is Li Mingke, not Lin Banjian.
Everything about Lin Banjian is in the past and has nothing to do with her anymore.
So what if she is the reincarnation of Lin Banjian?
In her past life, Lin Banjian was destitute and adrift. She depended on them for survival, and it could even be said that without them, there would be no Lin Banjian.
However, Li Mingke is not.
Li Mingke has a father, mother, and younger sister, and many people who are kind to her without expecting anything in return.
They weren't kind to her because she had a keen eye, nor did they want to gain anything from her.
Simply because she is Li Mingke.
That's all.
But she still stayed indoors for a month.
She's thought it through, but she's unwilling to face it.
The Li family home was her absolute safe haven; she felt completely at ease in her own home.
She knew that even if the Demon Lord or the Immortal Lord attacked and demanded her from her parents, they would definitely fight to the death.
She's been very clingy this past month.
It felt like she was back in her childhood, when she was being affectionate with her parents.
When she nestled in Li Zengqing's arms and sweetly called him "Mother," she suddenly realized that this was an experience Lin Banjian had never had before.
Lin Banjian had never acted coquettishly towards anyone, not even Mu Jinyun, who had raised her.
Because Li Mingke had absolute confidence, while Lin Banjian did not.
Lin Banjian has walked a tightrope her whole life; her experiences do not allow her to engage in any outrageous behavior.
But she is now Li Mingke.
She could do whatever she wanted, and she believed that even if she wanted the stars or the moon, her parents would do everything they could to get it for her.
She was grateful to be Li Mingke and felt even more grateful to her parents for their efforts in hiding her identity.
If her mother hadn't insisted on keeping her, and instead Shenjizi had taken her away, where would she be now?
She didn't know.
She suddenly remembered the prince who had entered the Zen mountain, Biechen.
Maybe it's similar, or maybe it's worse.
She thought to herself that even oranges didn't taste so good anymore.
A short while later, Li Pinyue came in.
She casually placed the spear on the ground and picked up an orange from the fruit plate to eat.
Li Mingke beckoned to her, and she went over.
Li Mingke pulled his younger sister onto his bed, then hugged her waist, crying, "Yue'er! Yue'er! My dear sister!"
Li Pinyue nearly crushed the orange in her hand. "Sis, get up! Seriously, what's wrong with you now!"
Li Mingke pouted, "Yue'er doesn't love me anymore."
"Heh, as if you've ever been in love."
Li Mingke made a crying face.
Li Pinyue opened her mouth, then closed it again.
"What's wrong, Yue'er?" Li Mingke asked.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you needed anything, and I'll have someone bring it back. By the way, a new restaurant opened on Qing'an Road. I heard their Sichuan food is pretty good. Shall I ask the chef to come and let you try it?"
"No need." Li Mingke sat up and stretched. "I should probably head out too."
Li Pinyue and Li Zengqing exchanged a glance, then looked at her together.
Li Mingke jumped out of bed, "I can't just stay home all the time!"
"Mingke, have you thought it through?" Li Zengqing asked.
"Yes! Don't worry, Mother!" She gave a thumbs up, "I'm Li Mingke! The young master of the Li family!"
"Good! You're truly my daughter!" Li Zengqing placed her hand on her shoulder. "Tell your mother who bullied you!"
Li Mingke stood with his hands on his hips and declared, "Who dares to bully me!"
She grabbed Li Pinyue's arm and said, "Come on, Yue'er, take me to that new restaurant!"
Li Zengqing watched her skipping and jumping figure, then picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his eye.
Li Mingke spent a long time getting ready for her first outing in a long time. By the time she was done, Li Pinyue was already asleep in her bed.
Li Mingke wore a rather androgynous dark red dress, with a leather belt that accentuated her figure, and gold-trimmed black boots. Her long hair was tied up with a crescent-shaped hairpin, giving her a simple and capable look.
"Let's go!"
Li Pinyue was stunned.
"Sis, you've changed your style?"
"Hey, give it a try! I didn't expect Yuju to bring this out either. I asked her when it was made, but she couldn't remember."
"Sister, you look really good! It complements your skin tone!" Li Pinyue praised without reservation.
Upon hearing this, Li Mingke stroked her chin and said, "Looks like I can wear this type of clothing from now on!" She laughed heartily, "When you're beautiful, you look good in anything!"
Li Pinyue sighed, realizing she really shouldn't be praised.
The restaurant specializes in Sichuan cuisine, and the two of them ate with gusto.
"This is really good, just the taste I wanted!" Li Mingke took a big gulp of water and continued eating.
Li Pinyue scooped out a crab leg, cracked out the crab meat, and placed it in the bowl of the person opposite her.
Li Mingke didn't stand on ceremony and picked up a piece to eat.
The food was spicy and hot, so she casually pushed open the window. But when she glanced down, she saw a familiar figure.
That is... Bie Chen.
"Bie Chen!" she called out, leaning against the window.
Bie Chen heard someone calling him and looked up to see a smiling woman with rosy cheeks waving. A strand of hair fell down and swayed by the window.
Li Mingke...
He saw the woman's lips, full and bright red from the chili peppers, glistening with oil.
His throat bobbed.
"Biechen, would you like to come up and eat with us?" The woman upstairs had a smile that was more beautiful than the trumpet creeper by the wall.
The aroma of chili peppers mixed with other spices wafted into his nose.
"OK!"
So you've finally agreed to come out?
He responded, smiling as he walked towards her.
