In Qin Shu’s memory, there was only the jade-green amber near the wall and the general appearance of the manor.
She didn’t remember anything else.
She also didn’t remember anything between her and Chao Yan, except the time they met.
There was no one in the huge manor. In her memory, it seemed that Chao Yan
was the only one.
Boss raised his head and looked at the tightly shut door in front of him. He then looked at the two-meter-high wall on the right. He couldn’t wait to jump up and then leap from the top of the wall.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiu called out, “Mom, Boss has gone in.”
Qin Shu also saw it. Boss was a very intelligent cat. His sudden action could mean that something was wrong.
“Let’s go in too.”
Ye Luo tooka step forward and extended his hand to push the door. He found that the door was bolted from the inside. Opening the bolt was several times easier than picking a lock
He took out a dagger and inserted the sharp blade into the gap of the door.
After a few taps, the door opened.
He pushed the door open and let Qin Shu and Xíao Jiu enter first. He followed after them.
When she saw the house, it was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
The flowers, plants, and trees had not been trimmed. The unruly branches and leaves had affected the overall beauty.
The trees had already overgrown tens of metres. The dense branches and leaves shielded the warm winter sun completely.
Xiao Jiu saw Boss not far away. She broke free from Qin Shu’s hand and chased Boss all the way forward.
Qin Shu smiled and followed him.
In the hexagonal pavilion beside the Falling Moon Lake, Yin Shi stood at the entrance. He looked at his master sitting in front of the stone table. His master had applied medicine for such a long time. Today was a good day, so he untied the gauze and enjoyed the scenery.
With just one look, Yin Shi could tell that his master had not moved.
He took a look at the Falling Moon Lake. It was already winter. No matter how beautiful the scenery was now, it would lose its beauty.
He wondered what his master was staring at.
“Meow.”
The sound came out of nowhere. Yin Shi lowered his head and saw Boss. Doubt flashed in his eyes.
Chao Yan, who was sitting in front of the stone table, froze. He turned around and saw the black cat that had suddenly appeared in the pavilion. Although he could not see clearly, he could recognize Boss immediately
Then, he saw a small figure running over not far away. It was a little far away, so he could not see clearly.
His vision was as poor as it was when he was young; if he didn’t get close, he couldn’t see clearly at all.
Since Boss was here, it meant that Qjn Shu was also here.
Then that small figure must be Xiao Jiu.
Seeing Boss, Yin Shi also guessed that Qin Shu was here. He looked at Chao Yan and asked, “Master?”
“Where’s the medicine?” Chao Yan asked.
Yin Shi took out a new medicated gauze from a box nearby. He walked behind
Chao Yan and helped him cover his eyes.
The medicinal herbs applied to his eyes were used from a young age. Even though the doctor had added some medicinal herbs into the gauze, to an outsider, the smell of medicine was the same.
Xiao Jiu followed Boss all the way here. When he saw the man sitting in front of the stone table, he walked over curiously and stuck his head out to access him.
When he realized that the man could not see, he asked him politely, “Are you Uncle Chao Yan?
Chao Yan nodded. “Yes, you are Xiao Jiu. Where is your mother?”
“My mother is at the back. She will be here soon.” Xiao Jiu looked at the gauze over his eyes. “Uncle Chao Yan, what happened to your eyes? Are they hurt?
Chao Yan smiled and said, “Yes, I was too naughty when I was young and hurt them accidentally”
Xiao Jiu tilted her head and asked, “Will your eyes recover?”
Chao Yan replied, “They will.”
Qin Shu walked into the hexagonal pavilion and looked at the dark green lake in front of her, as well as the broken cliff that she had fallen from. “This place seems to have changed a little.”
“It’s been ten years.” Chao Yan turned his head and looked in the direction of the entrance of the hexagonal pavilion. “Why didn’t you tell me you coming”
“Every time you appeared, you didn’t tell me beforehand.” Qjn Shu walked over and sat down opposite Chao Yan.
Chao Yan smiled and changed the topic. “Has the matter been resolved “Yes.” The only thing that puzzled her was those two sentences. Perhaps she hadn’t contacted Master Baili for too long, which made her think that the other party was Master Baili.
Her gaze once again landed on the dark green lake in front of her. “I fell from there.”
Chao Yan asked, “How did you fall from there?
“At the back of the Qi mountain, there is a crooked tree growing in the crevice of the mountain. I often play on it. I chanced upon a house with people at the bottom of the mountain. I was curious and came down to take a look. In the end, I fell That was also when Han Xiao had gone up the mountain. She had asked Han
Xiao if he wanted to go down to take a look. Perhaps because they weren’t close, Han Xiao did not agree, so she went down alone.
She had not expected herself to slip and fall, so she was totally unprepared.
Fortunately, there was water at the base of the mountain, and she could swim.
She suddenly asked, “Oh right, why were you in the water at that time?
She had also asked this question after she rescued him, but he did not answer.
To be more precise, he had ignored her.
Chao Yan said, “I said I was curious. Would you believe me
Curious?
She definitely wouldn’t believe Chao Yan now.
If it were the old Chao Yan, she would have believed him a little.
He was such a lifeless person. It was as if the entire world had nothing to do with him.
It was very likely that he jumped, knowing that he could not swim.
Chao Yan said, “I’m curious. What does it feel like to sink to the bottom of the lake?
Qin Shu looked at him in puzzlement.
Chao Yan said again, “To be precise, I’m asking about the feeling of being so close to death. In the face of death, is there fear, leading to a strong desire to survive?”
Well, his words proved that he had chosen the Wrong time. He had just jumped into the Falling Moon Lake for less than five seconds when she followed suit and saved him.
Qin Shu was stunned. At that time, Chao Yan had jumped into the lake with such thoughts?
How unhappy must a person be to have such thoughts?
“Is there a difference between that and suicide
Chao Yan replied, “There’s a difference.”
“What’s the difference? Qin Shu asked.
“I have a bodyguard by my side. After a minute, someone will come to save me.”
“So you jumped into the lake without any restraint?” Qin Shu was a little speechless. There could always be accidents. What if the bodyguard came late?
And the bodyguard. How could he let Chao Yan jump knowing that he could not swim?
“You ignored me at that time. Is It related to this?”
Chao Yan shook his head. “I did bother you.”
Well, she didn’t deny this.
At that time, Chao Yan was indeed annoyed with her.
However, he mostly ignored her.
Qin Shu looked at his eyes. More than ten years had passed, but he still had to apply medicine. “Have your eyes not recovered yet?”
Chao Yan’s slender fingers caressed the gauze over his eyes. As always, it felt familiar. The gauze was specially made and extremely soft to touch. It would not be uncomfortable or bruise after a long time.
“The doctor said that my eyes require medicine.”
