Xie Qi slowly sat up from the cold ground, a dull pain radiating from his temples. He subconsciously pressed his knuckles against his forehead, his fingers clinging to fine dust.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly before her vision gradually focused. Broken bricks and cement debris piled up all around her, and a rusty iron fence overhead swayed in the wind.
Xie Qi staggered to his feet, brushed off his dusty clothes, and looked around in confusion, completely unable to remember why he ended up in this abandoned building.
At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. Xie Qi took out his phone and saw the words "brother" on the screen.
As soon as the call was connected, Xie Shinian's anxious voice came from the other end: "Where have you been? The birthday party is over, and we've all gone home."
"I..." Xie Qi opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain, "I'll go home now."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Qi quickly left the ruins. He stood on the side of the road and hailed a taxi, not noticing the figure staring at him from behind the concrete pillar.
Yu Ze stood quietly in the shadows, watching the taxi's taillights disappear around the corner.
At this time, Xie Qi did not remember anything that happened after he fell from the building. The Lord God said that Xie Qi's soul was still unstable. Within two years, any form of emotional fluctuations might stimulate him and cause irreversible damage.
As the person who had the greatest influence on Xie Qi during the mission, he also had to be erased from Xie Qi's memory. So in order to protect Xie Qi, Yu Ze could only hide and fade away all his memories of the year he met Xie Qi in his senior year of high school.
Even the photos, chat records, contact information saved in Xie Qi's mobile phone, as well as things related to Yu Ze in Xie Qi's room, were deleted by Yu Ze himself.
Now Xie Qi only vaguely remembers that there is an illegitimate child of the Yu family in his class, but he has no specific impression of this person.
Yu Ze had made up his mind when he returned to this plane. He would hide in the dark and protect Xie Qi for two years. After his soul stabilized, he would let Xie Qi remember everything.
Then Yu Ze left here and went to Xie's house first to talk to the three people in the Xie family alone.
After hearing Yu Ze's words, Xie Shinian looked puzzled: "Why doesn't Xie Qi remember you?"
Xie Shinian really didn't understand. In the morning, Xie Qi had lost his appetite because of Yu Zecha, so why didn't he recognize him in the afternoon?
Yu Ze did not tell them about the world of cultivation. After all, he didn't know how to start. He kidnapped the child and took him to another time and space to live for more than a thousand years.
He could only speak vaguely: "I have found a new method. In two years, Xie Qi will be able to completely escape the rejection of the Heavenly Dao. But during this period, he cannot think of me, otherwise his soul will be damaged. So I have temporarily erased the relevant memories."
Xie Yanxiu promised solemnly, "Please rest assured, sir. We will pay special attention and never mention you in front of Xiao Qi."
However, this name made Yu Ze feel a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and corrected himself, "Just call me Yu Ze..."
Seeing the look exchanged between Xie Yanxiu and Su Lingyi, he added, "I will continue to stay here as the illegitimate son of the Yu family. Calling me that will make it less likely to arouse suspicion."
Xie Yanxiu nodded in understanding: "Okay."
At this moment, Xie Qi also came back. As soon as he stepped into the house, he shouted loudly: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
Yu Ze heard Xie Qi's voice and stood up hastily. He knew it was time for him to leave.
Just as Yu Ze was hiding behind the cabinet, Xie Qi pushed open the door and walked in. He glanced at the three people in the room, a puzzled look on his face.
He jokingly asked, "What are you doing? Are you plotting something? Why don't you take me with you?"
When Su Lingyi saw Xie Qi, she did not respond to his joke, but was afraid that if he got any closer, he would see Yu Ze who was hiding.
So she quickly walked over to Xie Qi, reached out and grabbed his clothes, and asked anxiously: "Where have you been? Why are your clothes so dirty?"
Xie Qi explained: "Mom, stop pulling, I don't know how my clothes got dirty, I... don't remember."
Su Lingyi: "If you don't remember, then don't remember. Hurry and change into clean clothes."
Xie Qi responded helplessly: "Oh."
Only after Xie Qi returned to his room did Yu Ze secretly leave Xie's house.
Just like that, Xie Qi started his ordinary daily life as usual. However, the difference was that Yu Ze was no longer in his life.
Since the college entrance examination, Xie Qi has gradually lost contact with his high school classmates. They have each gone to different cities and started a new journey in life.
Therefore, other people did not know that Xie Qi had forgotten Yu Ze.
Soon enough, the university semester started, and Xie Qi entered a new campus and embraced a brand new life. He made new friends and participated in various club activities, finding his life busy and fulfilling.
Although Yu Ze chose to stay in the same university as Xie Qi, he chose a different major to avoid clashing with Xie Qi.
At school, Yu Ze was like a perverted stalker, hiding in the dark and watching Xie Qi's every move, but cleverly not being discovered by anyone.
The side profile of students listening attentively in the classroom, the appearance of students eating with their heads down in the cafeteria, the figures running on the playground, and the backs of students concentrating on reading in the library were all secretly captured by Yu Ze in his mobile phone album.
That day, Xie Qi was playing basketball with his friends. In a secluded corner outside the court, a figure wearing a black baseball cap and a mask held a camera, its lens constantly tracking the agile figure on the court.
When Xie Qi stopped to drink water during the intermission, the sun shone on the camera lens, casting a ray of light. Xie Qi looked towards the corner in confusion after seeing the reflection.
