Chapter 278 Beloved
Chapter 278: Good Man

His tone was very strange... Xu Zhifei was not used to it.

Xu Zhifei stared at Bai Yanliang in a daze. What was this strange feeling?

Bai Yanliang sat on the ground and blinked. The blood color in his pupils had completely disappeared. He tilted his head and looked at her curiously.

Bai Yanliang...lost his memory?

No...is he really...Bai Yanliang?

Although they look exactly the same on the outside, their temperaments are completely different. Except for people with schizophrenia, it is impossible for ordinary people to have such a big change!
When Xu Zhifei felt that her body's stiffness had recovered, she stood up immediately. She did not answer Bai Yanliang, nor did she speak, but just stared at him closely.

Bai Yanliang seemed to feel a little uncomfortable with Xu Zhifei's gaze. He got up from the ground, hesitantly reached out his hand, and grabbed Xu Zhifei's sleeve.

Xu Zhifei's eyes widened slightly, obviously frightened.

She looked at Bai Yanliang's eyes puzzledly and found that Bai Yanliang was also looking at her. There was a hint of confusion in his crystal clear black eyes, as if he had just woken up.

Xu Zhifei felt very strange being stared at by him with such eyes.

The next moment, Xu Zhifei's expression froze, and she finally realized that something was wrong with Bai Yanliang.

Now he... is just like a child!
"elder sister……"

The two words that came out of Bai Yanliang's mouth actually made Xu Zhifei feel like collapsing.

You know, even when facing a fierce ghost, Xu Zhifei can maintain a fairly restrained mood.

But now…she couldn't do it.

Xu Zhifei stared into Bai Yanliang's eyes, hoping to detect a hint of joking in his gaze.

However, she failed.

Bai Yanliang only looked at her for a second or two, then immediately looked away and began to look around curiously.

Calm down...

This was the first time Xu Zhifei said these three words to himself.

Generally speaking, she is pretty calm.

After taking a deep breath, Xu Zhifei adjusted his emotions and looked at Bai Yanliang, who was 23 years old but seemed to have returned to his childhood, and asked, "What's your name?"

Bai Yanliang turned his head, still looking at her with those innocent and somewhat confused eyes, and grinned: "Sister, my name is Bai Yanren!"

Xu Zhifei's heart trembled.

Bai Yanren...

Isn't Bai Yanren his brother? Even if his mind became smaller, he should have become Bai Yanliang's childhood. Why did he become Bai Yanren's childhood? Could it be that... Bai Yanliang's childhood was actually Bai Yanren?

Xu Zhifei felt as if he was involved in a huge mystery. Bai Yanliang...Bai Yanren, are they really brothers?

Looking at Bai Yanliang, who still has the body of an adult but has obviously turned into a child's mind...or Bai Yanren, Xu Zhifei had many questions in his heart.

Is this the ability of Bai Yanliang’s key?
Is the real Bai Yanliang dead?
The Bai Yanliang who appeared in her dream had been resurrected and had become another person...

For the first time, Xu Zhifei felt the feeling of being in a state of confusion.

"let me go."

Xu Zhifei exerted a little force and freed himself from Bai Yanliang's hold on his sleeves.

Bai Yanliang stared at her blankly, his eyes slowly covered with a layer of mist, "Sister, don't you like me..."

"..."

Xu Zhifei felt like he was going crazy.

Why is this happening?

Yes...the key, his key!
Xu Zhifei pulled Bai Yanliang's right hand over and pried his hand apart.

The key was still there, lying in Bai Yanliang's palm in all its silvery white color.

Xu Zhifei picked up the key and stabbed it hard into the wound on his palm.

Bai Yanliang felt pain and struggled a little, but seemed afraid to do so.

He looked at Xu Zhifei pitifully, and soon the blood soaked the key again. However, this time, nothing happened.

How could this be?
Xu Zhifei wanted to try it again, but the next moment she immediately realized something was wrong.

That’s not right… After using the power of the key, the body will age rapidly, but why doesn’t Bai Yanliang’s body show any signs of aging?

Besides, this key is no longer usable...

Why……

Xu Zhifei's mind raced, and suddenly! She turned her head and stared at Bai Yanliang, and a very incredible idea came to her mind.

Could it be that... this key is special?
It has no side effects and can only be used once?
What Xu Zhifei didn't know was that her guess was very close to the answer.

This key is indeed special, because it was not condensed from the fog at all, but appeared by chance in a village in the real world.

And...its original color is not silver-white, but blood red.

"Sister...why did you hit me..."

Bai Yanliang's voice was full of grievance, but coupled with his adult physique, it immediately gave Xu Zhifei goose bumps all over his body.

Now how to do?
Xu Zhifei turned her head and stopped looking at Bai Yanliang. Looking at him now would only affect her thoughts.

The first thing to do is to leave this old house, and then find a way to figure out the secrets of this world and find a way to survive.

Only after getting out safely did I have time to slowly think about Bai Yanliang's problem.

but……

Xu Zhifei looked at Bai Yanliang quietly. In his current state, could he really leave this world alive?
Frankly speaking, Xu Zhifei had no confidence that he could protect him and find a way to leave here alive at the same time.

"how old are you?"

Xu Zhifei suddenly asked a very strange question.

Bai Yanliang's black and white eyes lit up, and he asked happily, "Do you have a younger brother?"

Xu Zhifei continued to ask.

Her eyes were still fixed on Bai Yanliang, and she still found it incredible.

Bai Yanliang looked at Xu Zhifei in confusion and shook his head: "No..."

"Then... have you heard of the name Bai Yanliang?"

When Xu Zhifei said this name, his vigilance reached its peak. As long as the person in front of him showed any abnormality, it meant that there was something wrong with him...

However, when Bai Yanliang heard the name, he just nodded obediently, "Yeah! It's me too!"

"Yanliang is the name my mother gave me, and Yanren is the name my father gave me. They are both my names!"

Bai Yanliang is smiling.

But Xu Zhifei felt cold all over.

Bai Yanliang, Bai Yanren...are actually the same person?

What exactly is going on?

Bai Yanliang...what exactly is he?
Looking at Bai Yanliang with his innocent face, Xu Zhifei actually felt a fear rising from the bottom of his heart.

He really has problems...

But...the scene of Zhongyuan Village inexplicably appeared in Xu Zhifei's mind.

At that time, under that tree, there was the moon behind it and the shadow of the tree in front of it.

He held her in his arms properly and said that he would help her find her body.

Finally, he actually found it.

And now, it was his soul's turn to be lost...

There was a ripple in Xu Zhifei's eyes, and she looked at Bai Yanliang quietly.

Even if it's just...repaying a favor.
