Dai Linyuan couldn't understand it, but he just held the person like that, refusing to let go.
He didn't want to let go; he had a strong premonition deep down, terrified that if he did, it would all be gone...
So much so that by the next morning, his arms were numb from being pressed down, and Junior Brother Dai didn't dare to move an inch. Then, he was ridiculed by Senior Brother when he woke up.
"Ninth Junior Brother, are you plotting something against me? Why be so sneaky?" He laughed, "If you want to, just come openly."
As she spoke, she casually pinched Dai Linyuan's stiff arm, leaned closer meaningfully, and her upturned peach blossom eyes were full of seduction: "I won't tell anyone else, just the two of us, we can do it secretly..."
"Senior Brother!" Before their lips touched, Dai Linyuan managed to retain the last shred of his sanity and asked, "Did you have a nightmare last night?"
"yes."
"Yes, A-Yuan, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that someone impersonated me and killed you."
These thoughts reached Dai Linyuan's ears at just the right moment, further confirming his suspicions: Was it really a dream, or was it reality?
Senior Brother, did you really not kill him?
Si Jin continued, "Do you want to know what I dreamed about?"
Dai Linyuan nodded blankly. The next moment, he saw Si Jin raise her hand and condense a vermilion spiritual power, which she then touched between Dai Linyuan's eyebrows.
The image of the "Evil God of the Back Mountain" impersonating Si Jin and killing him from his past life resurfaced in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, Dai Linyuan saw his true senior brother, who was on the verge of death after being beaten by the evil god for trying to save him.
The eldest disciple was holding his body and shedding tears. He was even framed by Ruan Mianmian for trying to collect the body, and was stripped of all his cultivation and expelled from the sect.
In the end, even her heart was ripped out by Ruan Mianmian!
"Is this... a dream?" Dai Linyuan's voice trembled, his vision blurred, and it took him a long time to realize that his tears were... uncontrollable.
Senior Brother, you do care about him!
“No,” Si Jin said, “it’s everything I experienced in my past life.”
The sound wasn't loud, but it made people feel especially sorry for the child.
"Senior brother, you..." Dai Linyuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but halfway through, his ears turned bright red.
His body stiffened, and he felt as if he were steaming, managing to stammer, "You...your hand..."
"Hmm?" Si Jin hated the sad atmosphere, so she continued to be mischievous: "What? What's wrong with my hand? Does it look bad?"
"Senior brother, I..." Dai Linyuan couldn't take it anymore. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up in a panic: "Senior brother, I'll go prepare breakfast for you."
Stepping outside, the cool breeze dispersed his chaotic thoughts, and Dai Linyuan's steps toward the dining hall became much lighter. It wasn't Senior Brother, thank goodness, it wasn't Senior Brother!
Spiritual power can only reproduce memories, not create them. So, could he... also continue the affection from his past life?
… …
After learning the truth, Dai Linyuan stayed obediently by Si Jin's side all day, bringing her books and grinding ink.
During the day, however, the thoughts of Si Jin's inappropriate actions kept flashing through his mind, almost driving him to lose control several times.
After finally making it to evening, they took separate showers and soaked in warm water before Dai Linyuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Does my senior brother like me too? How should I tell him about my feelings?
Leaning against the edge of the hot spring, Dai Linyuan muttered to himself, the sound of flowing water soothing his ears. Unbeknownst to him, there was also the rustling sound of someone changing clothes.
Is it... Senior Brother?
Realizing this, Dai Linyuan's heart skipped a beat, and his thoughts drifted uncontrollably once again, wondering what his senior brother looked like without his undergarments...
Will she call his name with a sob in her voice, just like the mind-reading ability suggests?
Dai Linyuan's mind grew increasingly muddled, and finally, he gritted his teeth and lowered his hand...
Around the hot spring, stone lions were still spouting water, and the chaotic sound of flowing water reached her ears. Si Jin quietly stepped inside and saw Junior Brother Dai immersed in the hot spring at the entrance. His face was red, and his eyes were dreamy, full of unspeakable emotions.
The murmuring mouth shape is:
"Senior brother, eldest senior brother..."
