“Brother Yang, please forgive her. Her family doesn’t really want her to have anything to do with the gang,” He Yanzhi explained apologetically. “As you know……”


  Brother Yang patted He Yanzhi on the shoulder and nodded. “I understand. It’s best not to provoke the Sheng family. However, it will be more convenient for you to get involved with the daughter of the Sheng family in the future. I’m happy to see that.”


  He Yanzhi frowned but did not say anything else. After Brother Yang left, he turned around and saw Little Qi at the stairs.

  He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he could not say anything.

  “Come up and take your medicine.” Little Qi did not question him. She merely said that one sentence and turned to go upstairs.

  He Yanzhi followed her. When he saw Little Qi’s back, he was secretly anxious, but he did not know how to explain it. He did not come back to look for her for that kind of thing.

  The room was dark and the light was very dim.

  He Yanzhi sat down on the bed, tired. He did not dare to look away from Little Qi for even a moment. “Xiao Wan, we…… can’t go back to the past, can we?”


  “What are you in a hurry for? You were gone for five years. Doesn’t that call for me to be angry?” Little Qi replied with her back to He Yanzhi. “Lie down and sleep. I’ll wake you in the morning.”


  “I’m afraid you’ll leave……” He Yanzhi took off his gloves and placed them on the bedside table. His voice was hoarse, his throat dry.

  “If you keep talking, I’ll really leave.”


  He Yanzhi lay down obediently and waited for Little Qi to bring the medicine to his mouth. “If you still have a fever at night, you’ll have to go to the hospital to get it treated.”


  He obediently took the medicine and took the opportunity to hold Little Qi’s hand. He quickly fell asleep.

  Little Qi sat by the bed and looked down at his hands.

  There was a long scar on the back of his right hand. It was ferocious and evil. No wonder he was wearing gloves.

  Had he really been living a life with a knife and blood for the past five years?

  Little Qi sighed slightly.

  Under the moonlight, He Yanzhi’s resolute face became calm and gentle. However, looking at the corner of his eyes and the side of his face, there was a trace of killing intent.

  Five years ago, He Yanzhi was frivolous and unruly. At this moment, He Yanzhi was mature and steady, making it difficult to understand him.

  Little Qi looked at his sleeping face and unknowingly fell asleep on He Yanzhi’s chest.

  At that moment, He Yanzhi slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the little woman on his chest. Then, he stretched out his hand and carried her onto the bed.

  Little Qi thought that this was a dream. In her half-asleep state, she smiled at He Yanzhi. This was the first time Little Qi had smiled at him since their reunion. It was very sweet and soul-stirring.

  For a moment, He Yanzhi couldn’t help himself and he kissed her.

  The promise that they could only kiss at the age of 16 rang in his ears. However, this little woman was about to turn 18. Forget kissing, she could even hook up with him now.

  Of course, he didn’t want to do that yet.

  He wanted this little woman to completely forgive and accept him from the bottom of her heart.

  Afraid he might wake Little Qi, He Yanzhi only dared to carefully taste the sweetness. When he opened his eyes and saw that she was sleeping soundly, he reached out and hugged her, so that she could sleep even more comfortably.

  At five in the morning, the alarm clock broke the peace in the room. Little Qi propped herself up and realized that the spot next to her was empty again.

  He Yanzhi had already gotten up and was now in the old lady’s room, tidying up her belongings.
