Time has come to night. Liufeng Mountain, with strange rocks, fell into the darkness in the night. The snow covered on the peak reflected a glimmer of light, the cold wind whistled, and the temperature on the top of the mountain was extremely cold. If ordinary people were not prepared, they would never last for a few hours here and they would be frozen to death.

Qin Yun came to the top of the mountain alone wearing a thin down jacket.

On a huge rock on the edge of the cliff in front, Xia Ren hugged his knees with his hands and squatted wherever he looked at the valley below, like a statue, motionless.

A thin layer of snow fell on his shoulders and a layer of frost condensed on his hair, looking extremely lonely.

Qin Yun looked at his back from afar and breathed a sigh of relief.

More than ten hours have passed since the incident that happened in the morning. Xia Ren ran into the mountains alone and had not replied for a long time. Qin Yun was worried that he would have any accidents, so she went to search for them one by one, and also searched for more than ten hours.

Lu Yi was accidentally injured by Xia Ren and stayed in Kangle Villa, with Lily accompanying her to take care of her.

Looking at Xia Ren's figure, he was like a wounded little beast, hiding and licking his wound alone, Qin Yun couldn't help feeling distressed.

The cold wind on the top of the mountain blew up Qin Yun's long hair, and her feet stepped on the snow, making a creaking sound.

She walked behind Xia Ren, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just stood by him and accompanied him.

Qin Yun didn't know what happened between Xia Ren and the Announcement Mirror, but she could deeply understand Xia Ren's sorrow.

In my impression, even if you encounter something bad, Xia Ren can remain optimistic. Qin Yun has never seen his expression like this, such... like being abandoned.

Xia Ren also noticed Qin Yun. He took his eyes back from the empty valley, buried his head in his knees, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't worry about me."

It was like a rebellious boy, with a little aggrieved and stubborn tone.

"How could I ignore you?"

Qin Yun stretched out her hand and gently stroked the frost on her head for him. Then she squatted down and leaned her body against his broad back, and said gently:

"I'm the only one with you."

Xia Ren was silent for a long time, turned to look at her, opened his mouth, closed it again, hesitated for a while, shrugged his head, as if he had made a mistake, and said, "But I am a monster."

Qin Yun said without hesitation: "You are a monster, and I am a monster."

"It's different, you don't understand."

Xia Ren turned his head away.

“Where is different?”

Qin Yun held Xia Ren's face and looked at his eyes seriously: "I do have many things I don't understand, but only one thing I understand. When I was the loneliest and desperate, it was you who broke into that charred room and brought me light. Everyone was afraid of me, but you were the only one who was not afraid."

"You, my nephew, Zhang Xiang, and those real monsters. In the past few months, you have been helping others and have never done bad things. If you can be called a monster like this, then I will be a monster with you."

"Whoever dares to bully you and make you wronged will blow my fucking head."

Qin Yun said, making a fierce look and waved her fist. She looked a bit tough.

Listening to what she said, Xia Ren's expression was no longer so low, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.

"You're so cute."

"ah?"

Qin Yun didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red: "I'm so old, but... cute or something..."

Although he denied it, in fact, Qin Yun was so happy that she wanted to hug him and turn around twice now.

"I won't be bullied."

Xia Ren stood up, and the snow on his body also slid down.

He had been stuck in a stubborn way before, and was trapped in a deadlock and could not get out. Qin Yun's words enlightened him.

No matter how much I regret it, the past cannot be changed.

What the answer to the wishing mirror may not necessarily be correct. If the real Xia Ren is dead, Huang Qiuyuan will not be unable to see it, nor will the doctor find clues. Besides, even if he really dies, he will still be himself and will not change.

Xia Ren guessed that the greater possibility was that the reply to the wish mirror was deliberately disturbing his mood. As for its purpose, it was unknown, and he didn't want to know either.

Seeing that his face regained confidence, Qin Yun was also happy.

Xia Ren remembered that because the answer to the wish mirror possessed Lu Yi, he was angry and had no time to tell the difference, so he used his tentacles to roll her up and asked, "Is Lu Yi okay? Where is Lily?"

"Lu Yi was a little injured, not serious, but I was afraid that something would happen to her by herself, so I asked Lily to accompany her there. They were still waiting for us to go back in Kangle Villa."

After Qin Yun finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something.

“By the way.”

She took out a photo from her arms and handed it to Xia Ren.

This photo is sealed with glue, so it is still well preserved, but it is obvious that it has been stored for quite a while, and the transparent shell on the outside has turned yellow.

"What's this?"

Xia Ren took the photo in confusion.

With the help of the faint light, he saw the content above clearly.

The moment the picture came into view, Xia Ren's pupils tightened, and his hand holding the photo also subconsciously exerted force.

The background of the photo is a playground. Even after so many years, Xia Ren can still recognize it. This is the playground in the elementary school he went to when he was a child.

The photo should be taken in autumn. Four children were wearing long-sleeved school uniforms, with intimate postures, standing together, smiling at the camera.

The three children are Gao Le, Yu Jingjing, and Xia Ren.

The fourth one is a little girl, who is also wearing a school uniform, and is about the same age as the other three, and she posed a scissor hand towards the camera.

Although the gap is a bit big, because the impression is too deep, Xia Ren recognized at a glance that the fourth little girl in the photo was Zhao Mingyue when she was a child!

"It turned out that it was not just the past two years. The four of us had already met at a very young age."

Xia Ren murmured to himself.

But why, I have no memory of her at all, and I have never heard Yu Jingjing and Gao Le mention it.

How much of my memory has been tampered with...

"Where did you find this photo?"

Xia Ren asked suddenly.

He had a big reaction and his tone was urgent.

Qin Yun didn't know Xia Ren's past very well, and had never heard of his childhood playmates. He said, "Before I came to find you, I searched all the places in the small building to see if I could know why you suddenly lost control of your emotions, but the things in the building were moved very quickly. I only found this photo in a room on the fourth floor. Seeing the child on it look like you, I took it with me."

Xia Ren frowned.

They are the root of their parents' madness. They regard themselves as monsters and cannot even carry their own photos with them when they come out.

So, was it that I used to deliberately put here?

Xia Ren was thinking, and suddenly there was a vibration in his pocket. It was the foundation's black mobile phone.

He looked at the number he didn't recognize, paused and chose to answer.

"Hello, is it Xia Ren?"
