Chapter 204 Memories
Chapter 204 Memories
Bai Yanliang was thinking about the meaning of Feng Xiuxue's words and didn't notice that Qi Nian had come to his side.

"Are you... familiar with that famous star?"

When Bai Yanliang turned his head, he saw Qi Nian who looked like he was mustering up his courage.

He shook his head, then nodded, and said, "Both friend and foe."

Hearing his answer, Qi Nian was a little stunned. She had thought of many answers, and even thought that Bai Yanliang said Feng Xiuxue was his girlfriend, but this answer was not hers.

Both friend and foe? What kind of relationship is that...

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Bai Yanliang looked at the sky. It was already late.

Qi Nian just remembered, she turned around and glanced at Tang Guo, and whispered: "Didn't you ask me how I fainted? Actually... I was knocked unconscious..."

"Oh."

Oh?
Qi Nian widened his eyes. What does "Oh" mean?

"Is it Xu Zhifei?" Bai Yanliang suddenly said.

"How do you know..." Qi Nian suddenly covered his mouth and looked at Bai Yanliang, "Do you also know about her corrupting ghost?"

"Hmm?" Bai Yanliang thought he had misheard. He stared at Qi Nian, "Erosion Ghost?"

It seems he doesn't know this yet...

Qi Nian breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. If he knew everything he wanted to say, wouldn't it seem like he came here today specifically to chat with him?

"Yeah! Actually, early this morning, she and I were trapped in that office by a ghost..."

After Qi Nian's explanation, Bai Yanliang understood the whole story.

Xu Zhifei...can actually subdue ghosts?
Moreover, according to Qi Nian's description, if she did not subdue enough evil spirits, Xu Zhifei's appearance would age rapidly, just like... a witch in a ghost story.

Speaking of which, Xu Zhifei's image was indeed quite horrifying. She was beautiful, but she didn't have the slightest bit of life in her. Just being stared at by her made one feel a chill down one's spine.

"Have you told anyone else about this?" Bai Yanliang asked.

"No..." Qi Nian's expression was a little tangled, "Maybe she is a monster, but she didn't hurt me, and...she even helped me, I think..."

Qi Nian looked at Bai Yanliang seriously: "Let's not reveal her secret, right? She hasn't hurt anyone..."

Looking at Qi Nian's pleading eyes, Bai Yanliang suddenly felt that the differences between people are really huge.

Moreover, people in each period are changing differently, and even Bai Yanliang himself feels his own changes.

He still remembered that Qi Nian had first entered Wu Ji at the same time as him. At that time, she was so scared that she screamed and yelled, and she was at a loss, and her personality seemed quite willful.

But now she...

"Well, don't worry." Bai Yanliang did not explain that he had no intention of exposing Xu Zhifei's secret.

Because he also knew another secret of Xu Zhifei, which was that she could have predictive dreams.

Compared with Song Que's eyes that can see in the dark, her natural ability is even more incredible.

Frankly speaking, Bai Yanliang didn't believe that the future would develop as Xu Zhifei's dream would.

In his view, whether it is prophecy or divination, it is only based on existing clues, logical reasoning and meticulous calculations to roughly determine several possible outcomes of the development of events.

The future is uncertain.

Bai Yanliang always firmly believes this.

But if Xu Zhifei's dream comes true... then it means the future is set.

For a predetermined future, is there still a need to work hard?
Thinking of this, Bai Yanliang couldn't help but think of Bai Yanren.

He had asked Yanren a similar question, which was... Does fate really exist? Bai Yanliang remembered that when Yanren heard his question, he looked a little surprised.

Obviously he hadn't expected that his younger brother, who was still so young, would be thinking about these questions.

At that time, he bent down and touched Bai Yanliang's head, saying, "Existence, just like you and me, there are millions of living beings, why did you, a little guy, become my brother? This is fate."

"Then... brother, do you believe in fate?" Bai Yanliang looked up at Bai Yanren.

Bai Yanren smiled and pinched Bai Yanliang's face: "I believe it, of course I believe it."

When Bai Yanliang recalled Yanren's expression at that time, it seemed that he was thinking of something terrible.

But he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "But my brother won't accept his fate."

Retracting his thoughts, Bai Yanliang looked at Qi Nian, who seemed relieved, and said, "Go back first, and be careful."

Qi Nian opened her mouth and wanted to say something. She could feel that Bai Yanliang had a lot on his mind, but he never spoke.

I don’t want to tell anyone…

"Bai Yanliang." Qi Nian looked into Bai Yanliang's eyes seriously.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yanliang's voice was as calm as ever.

"Are we... friends?" Qi Nian's expression was complicated, but he still said this sentence after all.

"Of course." Bai Yanliang's expression softened a lot. Although he still had no expression, he looked much better now than with his fake smile.

Of course we’re friends… From the moment you said you would never let go of my hand, we’ve been friends for the rest of our lives.

Bai Yanliang said silently in his heart.

"If... I mean if," Qi Nian looked at him in confusion, "If you encounter any problems, you can tell me. Although I may not be able to help, many things will be much better after they are said..."

This is how my mother comforted my father… She also said this secretly in her heart.

Bai Yanliang looked at her with some surprise. Was his recent distress so obvious?
However, before Bai Yanliang could answer, Qi Nian's face turned red.

She suddenly turned around and muttered softly: "I...I don't have to listen. If you are willing to tell me, then I will listen. If you are not willing, then forget it..."

"Besides, I'm not always available..."

Qi Nian's face became redder and redder as she thought of something. She waved her hand hastily and said, "I'm leaving first. Call me if you have anything..."

Bai Yanliang stared at her back in a daze, then suddenly smiled and said loudly: "Qi Nian!"

"What's wrong?" Qi Nian was embarrassed to turn her head, only revealing half of her profile. The afterglow of the setting sun, wrapped in mottled shadows of trees, sprinkled on her face, as red as the autumn sunset, so beautiful.

"Thank you."

Qi Nian didn't say anything, but she mustered up the courage to turn her head, glanced at Bai Yanliang, and quickly left the yard.

Tang Guo looked unsatisfied and came over to ask curiously, "Master, which one is the master's wife?"

Bai Yanliang knocked her head and said, "Criminal police, don't be so gossipy."

Tang Guo rubbed his head with a wronged look on his face, "Humph, all men are the same..."

Bai Yanliang smiled and ignored her words.

Love.

This word was as strange to him as the stars in the sky.

It seems within reach, but in fact it is billions of light years away...
