My heart felt like it had been hit hard, and I was shaking with pain.
"Stop talking."
He hugged her tightly.
Although his reason told him that everything she just said didn't happen and it was a nightmare, but... emotionally, listening to her broken, crying voice, his heart was torn to pieces.
There is a thought quietly occupying my mind.
Maybe...that's true?
He closed his eyes, but now he had no more thoughts to think about. He didn't want her to bear any more of her pain. He could only coax her and hold her tightly, hoping that his warmth could bring her
She has some strength.
Ruan Fu's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Ling Yutong's hand fell down weakly, and he took advantage of the situation to grab her wrist and put it on her.
"The pulse is the same as usual. Logically speaking, it shouldn't appear..."
Ruan Fu frowned.
He thought hard and couldn't figure it out. In front of him, Ling Yutong seemed to be too emotionally exhausted. He was tired of crying and fell asleep in Qi Yan's arms.
Qi Yan and Ruan Fu looked at each other.
"Shh."
He made a mouth gesture, lowered his eyes, and gently carried Ling Yutong to the bed.
The tears on her face were not yet dry, but she was already fast asleep.
After changing places, Qi Yan spoke.
His tone was grave, his eyes were lifeless, and he was even more worried.
"Is it nightmares and memory confusion?"
But there was a voice in my heart getting louder and louder, saying: She is in so much pain, and the defense and guilt in her eyes are so deep, I'm afraid it's true.
But in fact, whether it was my grandmother, eldest sister, third brother, or him, they were all fine.
They didn't die so tragically.
Ruan Fu is silent.
He was thinking hard.
But Qi Yan was suddenly startled, wait...
Ruan Fu inadvertently raised his eyes and met Qi Yan's blank eyes. The other party's eyes seemed to contain the greatest shock, as if there was some news or some sudden awareness, which made him stunned and scared, thus
Reflected in the other person's current eyes.
"If she hadn't stopped it, then everything she said might really happen."
When the heavy words were thrown down, Qi Yan's eyes were dark and his mood was so gloomy that he went blank.
Ruan Fu choked and felt a chill running down his spine.
He had also seen the affairs of the Qi family all the way. Even his acquaintance with Ling Yutong was because she and Qi Yan were temporarily detained in the palace.
Although the Holy Spirit has never been able to conclude that it was Ling Yutong and the others who robbed the execution ground and prison, but... he knew it in his heart.
And what Qi Yan said just now made him feel... deafening.
"What's going on..."
His frown deepened, and the anguish and confusion in his eyes almost broke through his body.
Yes, no solution.
There was no time to catch any light in his head. He squatted on the ground holding his head and immersed himself in thinking.
There must be something he didn't notice.
Qi Yan stood quietly beside him.
He raised his drooped eyebrows slightly and stared silently in the direction where Ling Yutong was sleeping. He couldn't help but wonder what he would have done without her, and whether he would have... missed the opportunity to save his eldest sister and third brother.
I still remember that meeting, she was as embarrassed as a ghost, her black hair stuck to the side of her face, soaked by the rain.
There were also marks on the arms that had been pierced by animal traps.
The rain at that time was as heavy as it is now, and it seemed to never stop.
She told him anxiously that if she didn't save him, it would be too late.
Qi Yan closed his eyes and suppressed the strong emotions in his heart for a moment.
He couldn't think deeply about it for a while, and he didn't dare to think deeply... what kind of pain she had experienced when he didn't know it.
"I thought of it!"
Ruan Fu suddenly raised his head, his fingers were trembling, and his eyes were shining brightly.
"Two kinds of poisons are running around in the body. Putting aside the law of mutual generation and mutual restraint, fighting poison with poison is an extreme behavior. Her body is like a container and cannot fuse these two poisons."
"And toxins are exclusive. The two toxins are bound to attack each other and cannot exist at the same time."
"It's hard to estimate what kind of changes this confrontation will cause to her body, or which nerves it may hit."
"Perhaps, her current situation is that the nerve in charge of memory has been touched. Therefore, the memory is disordered, causing her to remember the nightmare as reality, but the reality has been...forgotten by her."
Qi Yan said: "How can we do better?"
Ruan Fu was speechless.
His brows were already furrowed to the point where they could no longer be furrowed. Seeing him like this, Qi Yan understood.
He was silent for a moment and said: "Then we will regulate our words and deeds according to what she can remember. I don't want her to feel too flustered."
"According to her memory, you are her master, and I..."
His tone became deeper, revealing a harsh tone.
"I am the fake Qi Yan who wears a human skin mask. I am the tool you specially prepared to relieve her guilt so that she can vent her emotions."
Ruan Fu squeezed his hands.
He resisted the urge to sigh and thought to himself, the helplessness and bitterness in Qi Yan's tone made even him, a bystander, feel sad.
If we were to count carefully, it was actually only a few days since he discovered that the two of them were together and now they became strangers and became enemies.
Nature plays tricks on people.
In the suffocating silence, Ruan Fu couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the door open and went out.
Maybe it was time for lunch, and there were many diners in the lobby of the inn.
The guests were talking loudly, and the topics they talked about were all kinds of. The buzzing noises penetrated his ears desperately. Ruan Fu picked his ears, and found a corner to sit down, drinking tea.
Pretending to be casual, in fact he was listening intently to the message and stuffing food into his mouth.
"Eh? Why did you come down alone, sir? Do you need me to run errands and deliver some food to the two of you upstairs?"
At some point, the store clerk appeared next to him and said with a smile.
Ruan Fu suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his back.
He turned his head and looked into the eyes of the waiter who was smiling so hard that he could hardly see his eyes.
He laughed as usual: "Both of them, she is sick and he is taking care of her."
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. If possible, I'll trouble you."
The boy's smile deepened, and his tone became softer.
"No trouble, no trouble."
Just when he turned around to leave, Ruan Fu suddenly seemed to remember something and asked with a smile: "Eh? You have a pretty good memory. If I remember correctly, my two companions and I, and you are just
It was a one-sided relationship, so how did you..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped continuing.
The waiter naturally understood what he meant, smiled and said, "There are many guests coming and going in the inn. It's not because I have a good memory, but because I'm used to remembering people. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to remember the meals ordered by the people in the lobby."
He answered fluently, and after finishing speaking, he turned and left.
Ruan Fu narrowed his eyes.
Something is wrong.
In this case, let Qi Yan test this person's true character.
No matter what the intention is, as long as the opponent's fox tail dares to be exposed, they dare to catch it hard.
Upstairs, Qi Yan heard a knock on the door, felt confused for a moment, and opened the door.
"Sir, what's the meal for you two?"
The person who came was smiling, and his steps seemed to be nailed to the spot. He didn't take a step beyond the rules and had no intention of coming in.
Qi Yan had no expression: "I didn't order the food. Who asked you to deliver it?"
The waiter's expression was frightened for a moment, and he immediately lowered his head: "Please don't be angry, sir. It's the young man who is with the two guests. He asked me to bring you food."
lie.
The expression on Qi Yan's face became even colder.
Ruan Fu would not ask a stranger to deliver food to them at this time. The only possibility is that there is something wrong with this stranger.
His eyes quietly became less aggressive, and on the surface, he seemed to have relaxed because of the waiter's words.
"Let it go."
"Okay, sir, I'll send it in for you!"
The waiter didn't wait for Qi Yan's response, he bent down and walked in, looking around the room with his eyes as Qi Yan could not see behind him.
Qi Yan frowned slightly.

"It's true! As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a medicinal smell that hit my nose. It was very, very strong."
"And there is a bulge in the quilt. Although I can't see it clearly, it must be that girl."
"Yeah?"
There was a frivolous reply, and then, several people in the room looked at each other and smiled, their attitudes...
The waiter seemed to be a different person at this moment. The same eyes were bent when he smiled, but what was revealed in his eyes was not the honest and enthusiastic one he showed during the day, but evil and vulgarity.
"What's the man's strength like? I feel like that cold face is not easy to offend."
The waiter sneered: "Damn, that's just an embroidered pillow."
"As soon as I said it was their companion who asked me to deliver the meal, his expression immediately relaxed...visibly to the naked eye."
"And the one downstairs, I asked the other two if they wanted me to go upstairs to deliver food, so they just followed my instructions. Afterwards, I was about to leave, so they asked me why I have such a good memory."
"You guys, Pinpin, what is this... the style of a master!"
"Start with peace of mind and take action tonight!"
"Okay!"
When everyone in the room heard what he said, they all jumped for joy.
They are just a mediocre black shop, so naturally you have to pick the soft ones.

"It may be a bit unsettling tonight. Just watch her and I will resolve the matter with Mo Bai."
Ruan Fu touched his chin.
"Do you think they have completely ignored Mo Bai's existence? Otherwise, how can they claim to have a good memory, but they can't even count the number of people?"
Qi Yan raised his eyes: "Mo Bai is used to hiding his presence in the crowd. Those people either completely ignored Mo Bai, or they said that deliberately to test you."
Ruan Fu's eyebrows moved.
"Huh? If it's the latter, wouldn't I be exposed..."
Qi Yan lowered his eyelids for nothing.
The words are also: "It doesn't matter. If you want to influence us, don't blame me for being rude."
Ruan Fu: "..."
Also, the memory of her beloved was confused and she was remembered as a dead person, and she also thought that he would hate her, well...
If it were him, he would be so depressed that he would explode.
It can only be said that those idiots hit the wall, and the wall is an extra thick version.
At night, the stars were sparse, and in the silence, a hose quietly pierced the paper window.
Ruan Fu opened one eye, with a trace of disdain flashing across his eyes.
Low level.
He simply closed his eyes and breathed normally, not stopping himself from inhaling the dust blown in.
Ling Yutong wrinkled his nose and seemed to have not slept peacefully.
But, it's not because of the dust.
She seemed to be dreaming, and the protagonist in the dream was... Qi Yan.
He...kissed her!
And for some reason, she was actually responding in the dream, and seemed to be...indulging in it!?
This dream scared her awake.
I opened my eyes in shock, but before I could calm down, my ears caught a strange sound.
It seems that there is someone.
Because the room was too dark, she opened her eyes, but except for Qi Yan and Mo Bai, none of the intruders noticed.
She woke up suddenly, catching him off guard.
Qi Yan suddenly changed his mind.
Just when the other party acted, he had already seen the details of these people, and immediately gave Mo Bai a gesture.
Don't wait any longer, just do it.
Mo Bai understood in his heart, and when he rushed toward the intruders with cat-like steps, Qi Yan also turned and walked in the direction of Ling Yutong.
Seeing his face, Ling Yutong's eyes trembled.
She pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Are you sent by Master to protect me?"
Qi Yan nodded silently.
"Then, can you take off the human skin mask on your face? I look very..."
She bit her lower lip, but in the end she didn't say the words that showed her true feelings. Instead... she looked at Qi Yan quietly.
In other words, looking at his face.
Qi Yan, who was used to her always looking into his eyes, remained silent.
He suppressed the bitterness rising in his throat and said in the same breath: "You can't pick it off."
Can't take it off.
This is his face.
He was clearly in front of her, and they clearly chose each other so firmly. Why did it become like this now...
Ling Yutong lowered his head, a little frustrated: "Is it my master who won't let you pick it?"
"I knew he would definitely want me to face it."
"But there are some things that will never fade away in my heart. I regret too much and hate myself too much. Why can't I catch up? Why can't I do anything."
She didn't know how painful it was that he was standing in front of her when she lowered her head and said these words.
How to torture yourself.
"Stop protecting me."
In the night, her eyes are like shining stars, and their wet brilliance is extremely moving.
"Let me protect you."
"Qi Yan, I want to protect you."
Qi Yan was startled.
In this dazed moment, she sat up quickly and put on her shoes quietly and quickly.
"I heard the sounds and I know where they are."
It seemed that he could see his worry, or that he just turned around to explain. When he looked at her again, all he could see was her flying hair, and her back that looked like the scorching sun even though it was dark night.
He chased after him.
On the other side, Mo Bai's battle is almost over.
Maybe it can't be called a battle, but a unilateral crushing.
When Ling Yutong arrived, she happened to see a person shrinking his neck and picking up something at hand to hit him. She looked sharply and picked up something from beside her.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Why is there someone behind me?"
The throw is accurate.
Ling Yutong released her squinted eyes and heard the movement behind her. She only glanced back and stood in front of him.
The wind caused by the "ping-ping-ping-ping" of various things in the house also blew up her hair.
Soft hair brushed his cheek.
The faint fragrance made him trance for a moment.
In front of him, Ling Yutong's cold tone sounded very much like the woman he was familiar with.
"Is it a black shop? If you want to make an idea for us, it depends on whether you have enough... If you can't eat, just walk around!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Before Mo Bai had time to do anything, he saw Ling Yutong stumbling around in the house looking for ropes to tie the beaten people together.
There were five people in total, neither fat nor thin, and most of them looked familiar.
As soon as Ruan Fu came over, he sneered: "Eh? Isn't this Mr. Accountant, the waiter? I look familiar to the other ones. Is this a misunderstanding?"
He flicked the ashes off his body.
"For example, you came here late at night, are you worried that my companions didn't practice seriously in the morning, so you came here to have a snack?"
"Then, the effect is not very good."
The naked ridicule hit their faces, and the sore spots on their bodies were still trembling with pain. The five of them all knew that this time they were kicked on the iron plate.
"It's all your fault!"
Although they didn't say anything, you could tell by the look in their eyes that the other four were blaming the guy.
The waiter grimaced and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't know they had someone else! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have..."
"What are you mumbling about?"
"You're all tied up, and you still have the energy to gossip?"
Ling Yutong was dissatisfied, so she pulled Ruan Fu to her side, speaking with a hint of dependence.
Paired with her voice, it's inexplicably charming.
Qi Yan silently raised his head and glanced at Ruan Fu.
Ruan Fu: A chill ran down my back.
"Master, we have arrested them now, what should we do next?"
"Ask for some news."
Ruan Fu suppressed his strange feelings and replied.
