Just then, Jiang Li's ears twitched.
Her expression changed, and then she immediately rushed towards the room where Yao Qing was.
Lu Jiming looked somewhat bewildered. What was wrong?
A while later, when he saw Jiang Li helping Yao Qing out of the room, he remembered...
Yao Qing is still in the family.
Yao Qing's face was pale, and there were still traces of blood on the corners of her lips.
It has an indescribable, desolate beauty.
Jiang Li helped Yao Qing sit on the sofa and poured her a glass of water.
Yao Qing rinsed her mouth and drank the rest of the water, and her complexion improved slightly.
"Where is this? I... how did I get here?" Yao Qing's mind was still a little fuzzy, her eyes filled with confusion. Then she looked up and saw Lu Shiyan. "Uncle Lu? Is this your house?!"
"You don't remember what happened before?" Lu Jiming's expression was somewhat strange. "Are you serious? Are you doing this on purpose or pretending?"
"You?" Yao Qing's expression was still blank when she saw Lu Jiming. Then she asked uncertainly, "You are Lu Jiming?"
Lu Jiming: "???"
You used to love me to death, but now you're suddenly looking at me with such unfamiliar eyes, which seems absurd.
Despite inwardly complaining, Lu Jiming still nodded.
"No way...you...you..." Yao Qing's expression seemed to be one of disbelief. "How did Lu Jiming, who was so cute back then, grow up to look like this?"
Lu Jiming: "???"
What does that mean?
Are you saying he's grown up to be ugly?
"Yao Qing, don't think I don't hit girls. Let me tell you, if you make me angry, I'll hit girls too!"
Although he can't compare to his uncle, he's still the school heartthrob of Sacred Heart Academy, and his looks are top-notch.
How could Yao Qing insult me like that?
"Ahem..." Yao Qing chuckled dryly, "I just feel that you are completely different from the person I remember. Seeing you with a completely different style now, I can't accept it for a while. Although you are no longer the soft and cute type that I like, you are still quite handsome now."
Lu Jiming looked at Yao Qing with a complicated expression.
Yao Qing thought Lu Jiming was doubting her words, so she said seriously, "I'm not lying, you really are still beautiful!"
"You...don't remember what happened before?" Lu Jiming was starting to doubt his own existence.
She's solved the Peach Blossom Divination puzzle, but to completely forget the past is a bit much, isn't it?
"What do you remember?" Yao Qing asked, puzzled.
"Alright, stop talking..." Jiang Li gave Lu Jiming a look, then personally explained to Yao Qing.
After hearing Jiang Li's words, Yao Qing also began to question the meaning of life.
She pointed to herself, then to Lu Jiming beside her, "You mean... I loved him so much before, I was obsessed and infatuated?"
That incredulous expression definitely didn't seem to indicate that he had any feelings for Lu Jiming.
"Not only that, you also relentlessly pursue me. Whenever I talk to a girl, you become hysterical and want to kill her," Lu Jiming added.
Yao Qing: "..."
She only remembered that she had been unwell before, so she went to rest and recuperate.
I have absolutely no recollection of the things I did.
And how could that be?
She always treated Lu Jiming like a brother, how could she possibly...
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine; it's terrifying!
“Actually, it’s not your fault.” Jiang Li patted Yao Qing’s shoulder. “It’s mainly because you were put under the influence of the Peach Blossom Enchanting spell. It was because of this spell that you lost your true self. So you don’t need to worry about it.”
"So, the one who was so desperate to kill Lu Jiming wasn't me at all, right?"
Seeing Yao Qing's expectant expression, Jiang Li nodded solemnly, "That's right, that's how it is."
In a sense, that was indeed not Yao Qing's own will.
If saying this will make Yao Qing feel more comfortable, then let's go along with her wishes.
"By the way, do you remember why you came back?" Jiang Li asked again.
Yao Qing: "..."
She remembered that it was Jiang Xueqi who sent her the message. She knew that Jiang Xueqi was not the biological daughter of the Jiang family, and then the biological daughter of the Jiang family was found. She was afraid that Jiang Xueqi would be bullied...
So she came back.
As for why...
Yao Qing immediately took out her phone and found the chat box with Jiang Xueqi.
The contents inside...
This forced her to confront her past foolishness once again.
This is enough to prove that she really did pester Lu Jiming back then.
Yao Qing patted Lu Jiming on the shoulder and said with a deep expression, "Buddy, you've worked hard and suffered a lot. It's my fault, I'm sorry."
Lu Jiming: "..."
Now that you've changed back, all the hardship and grievances have been worth it.
Although he had been avoiding Yao Qing all these years, the childhood friendship remained.
Now that he knows Yao Qing's transformation wasn't her own doing, but rather a result of being manipulated by Peach Blossom Enticement, he naturally feels indignant on Yao Qing's behalf.
He was determined to find the person behind this and avenge Yao Qing.
"Who tried to harm me? They actually gave me this stuff and made me like you?" Yao Qing couldn't understand at all. "Just how much do they hate me?"
Lu Jiming touched his face, a little annoyed, and said, "Well... I'm actually not that bad, am I?"
"Is this the time to talk about this?" Yao Qing glared angrily at Lu Jiming. "Shouldn't we find the person who framed me first?"
“I have a bold and well-founded guess.” Jiang Li had naturally noticed something, but without evidence, she was still a little uncertain. “So you need to verify it yourself.”
Yao Qing understood what Jiang Li meant.
She suspected Jiang Xueqi.
Yao Qing's memories of Lu Jiming's madness were hazy, but she still remembered other things.
It was Jiang Li who saved her and brought her to her senses.
From this point of view alone, Jiang Li is not a bad person.
So even though Jiang Xueqi has been her friend for so many years, the scales of trust in her heart still tipped towards Jiang Li.
no way……
In the past, she was so foolish that the only people who could harm her were those closest to her.
She and Jiang Xueqi have maintained contact for many years, and she always listens to Jiang Xueqi's advice.
In particular, much of Lu Jiming's information came from Jiang Xueqi, even this time...
She suspected that Jiang Xueqi had asked her to come back so that she could help her deal with Jiang Li.
Given her original circumstances, she would have eliminated the other girls around Lu Jiming, and because of her good relationship with Jiang Xueqi, she would also have been misled into targeting Jiang Li...
In this way...
Jiang Xueqi can maintain her good reputation while also using her to eliminate dissidents.
"I didn't realize that..." Lu Jiming clapped his hands as he listened to Yao Qing's speculation. "After you broke the Peach Blossom Luck spell, your IQ came back too."
Yao Qing kicked Lu Jiming, but then thought that he was quite pitiful because he had been tormented by her for so many years, so she decided not to hold it against him.
"It's getting late." Jiang Li suddenly glanced at the time. "Lu Jiming, we should go to school."
Yao Qing: "???"
No, what time is it?
Are you going to school soon?
Are all high school seniors these days so meticulous?
Perhaps sensing Yao Qing's thoughts, Lu Jiming explained to Yao Qing with a look of utter despair.
"Jiang Li runs to school to exercise. My uncle thought that if a little girl like her can do it, then I, a big boy, should be able to do it too, so he made me run to school with her."
Yao Qing: "..."
If her memory is correct...
It must be about 20 kilometers away from the school.
Run there?
Are you crazy?
"Um..." Yao Qing's lips moved, and finally she said, "I suddenly feel very weak and need to sleep some more, so I won't delay you from going to school."
Then Yao Qing got up and walked towards the guest room where she had been resting.
My goodness, that's terrifying.
She's better suited to a life of leisure and idleness.
"Oh, right, Jiang Xueqi is running to school with us today too." Jiang Li said to Yao Qing's back, "Yao Qing, are you sure you don't want to come with us?"
Yao Qing: "..."
No need.
Although I really want to find evidence and find out the truth as soon as possible...
But staying alive is still more important.
