Guan Qi once didn't want to admit that Sheng Baiyi didn't put him first, but he had to accept the fact. Although he already knew that Sheng Baiyi was in a relationship with a sick young man, he still pretended not to know.

When it was his third year of high school, Guan Qi suddenly discovered that Sheng Baiyi had stopped decocting medicine. Sheng Baiyi, who used to decoct medicine for the young man every day, had actually stopped doing so. Guan Qi vaguely developed some kind of hope. Did this mean that she had broken up with the young man?

Sheng Baiyi stood in the kitchen in a daze, looking down at the bottles of medicinal materials and some knives in the kitchen. These were things she was very familiar with, but they were so strange to her now.

She is a high school student. Neither she nor Guan Qi is sick. Why are there so many medicinal herbs in the kitchen of her home, and some of them are quite rare? In her impression, she does not have the leisure to bring back so many medicinal herbs. Could it be Guan Qi?

She frowned, looking a little irritated. She turned her head and glared at Guan Qi who was sitting at the table and typing away on the keyboard. "Do you know what happened to these herbs? Did you get them back?"

Guan Qi's fingers, which were tapping on the keyboard, paused and all movements stopped. He stared at Sheng Baiyi in shock, as if he was judging whether she was serious when she said this?

He did not answer Sheng Baiyi's question immediately. He observed her subtle expressions that were so familiar to him, and he found that she was serious about what she said.

He asked tentatively: "I bought these from a friend. I know you like this kind of thing, so I made some. You can do whatever research you like."

After hearing this, Sheng Baiyi's eyes sparkled with stars, so bright that Guan Qi couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He lied, but she believed what he said without any doubt and didn't even ask any more questions.

Guan Qi then realized that she seemed to have forgotten the young man, forgot to make medicine for him, and forgot everything about the young man.

Guan Qi didn't even want to find out when she started to forget, for fear that she had remembered something. In his heart, he felt fortunate that she had forgotten him. He hoped that she would never remember him again, even though he had never even seen the young man's face and didn't even know his name.

But it didn't prevent Sheng Baiyi from returning to his side.

Guan Qi closed his eyes, then opened them again to look at the empty house, ending an unpleasant memory.

Ever since Shen Zhao told him that she was Sheng Baiyi, he had looked up Mu Yanchen's information. He could find very little, as if someone had deliberately erased all the traces. But that did not prevent him from finding some clues, which led to him confirming Mu Yanchen's identity.

In order to prevent Shen Zhao from being exposed around Mu Yanchen, he told her early on not to reveal her medical skills in front of outsiders. Why? In fact, he just didn't want Mu Yanchen to discover her.

When he went to see Sheng Baiyi's body, he was too sad to suspect anything. Later, when he found out she was still alive, he slowly collected some suspicious points, which led him to discover the surveillance camera of the funeral home that had been tampered with.

Someone had been there before he went. He guessed that person was Mu Yanchen, and that the young man back then was also him. He had been secretly paying attention to Sheng Baiyi, and after Shen Zhao woke up, fate tied them together again!

However, what makes him most nervous now is that Mu Yanchen seems to have discovered that Shen Zhao is Sheng Baiyi. He did not stop Shen Zhao from meeting him, which shows that he knows him and thinks that he will not hurt Shen Zhao, so he did not try to stop him.

When did he find out? He made Sheng Baiyi forget him before, so why did he stay by her side so wantonly at this moment?

Guan Qi was extremely annoyed by this series of questions. He opened his laptop impatiently and entered a few codes into it. A small black window immediately popped up on the screen. It was obvious that the other party was also waiting for him!

"Is it Mu Yanchen?"

There was only a low response from the other side.

"I want to meet you. You decide the place and time."

"Come directly to the manor. I believe you are familiar with the route."

Guan Qi became even more annoyed after hearing this. Wasn't it obvious that the other party knew everything? He thought he was doing something very secretive, but in fact, the other party had already figured him out.

"Row!"

The next day, while Shen Zhao was back at school, Guan Qi walked to the gate of the manor in a grand manner. Situ Rui looked at the person in the surveillance video and glanced at Mu Yanchen who was calmly drinking medicine. "Why did he suddenly come to our house?"

Mu Yanchen took a sip of the medicine, leaving some black stains on the corners of his mouth. He took a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his lips. "It's not sudden anymore. He should have come to me a long time ago. He actually endured it for so many years."

Mu Yanchen let out a low laugh, as if mocking Guan Qi's cowardice.

"Let him in."

Guan Qi had never seen such a large manor, but he was not in the mood to visit it now. He followed Situ Rui straight to Mu Yanchen's study.

"Mr. Guan, please come in."

Situ Rui invited Guan Qi in. He had received orders long ago that the boss wanted to talk to Guan Qi in private, so he had nothing to do with it. He closed the door for them.

When Guan Qi walked into the study, he saw the man who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar. After so many years, he finally mustered up the courage to meet Mu Yanchen.

"Please sit down." Mu Yanchen raised his dark phoenix eyes and motioned Guan Qi to sit opposite him.

Compared to Mu Yanchen's calmness, Guan Qi seemed a little reserved and wary. While pulling out the chair, he did not forget to stare at Mu Yanchen.

Mu Yanchen curled his lips with a radiant smile, "You don't have to be like this. Although this is my territory, you see, my body is not healthy and I can't do many things. Meeting you this time is just to fulfill a wish I made many years ago."

"What wish?" Guan Qi seemed a little excited, because he knew that this wish was definitely not Mu Yanchen's. He would not look for him to reminisce when he had nothing to do, as they were strangers to begin with.

"I guess you have guessed it. She used to tell me that she had a younger brother who grew up with her in an orphanage. She often said that she wanted to introduce her brother to me, but I never had the chance until she died." He spoke of the past calmly, his eyes lightly passing over Guan Qi, and finally stopping on the scenery outside the window, with a gentle smile on his face.

You could tell by the look on his face that it was a fond memory.

But Guan Qi didn't want to listen, because that period was endless torment for him.

Guan Qi didn't want to talk to him about Sheng Baiyi's past, so he said directly, "Since you agreed to let me come, I think you also know what I thought, right? When did it happen?"
