Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Qin Xiaoci couldn't help but smile lovingly at the arrogant black cat.

"You are just like your master."

The black cat combed its fur, turned its head away, and ignored Qin Xiaoci.

"Meow" [What's up?]

"Lulu, do you still remember the female ghost who was imprisoned in the soul-locking formation where I found you?"

"Meow." [Female ghost? What female ghost? Ah~ You're talking about that one, remember... I remember you took pity on her and helped her break the Soul Locking Formation... But it seems like her wish hasn't been fulfilled. She's been unable to cross the Naihe Bridge, drink Mengpo Soup, or enter the cycle of reincarnation. I don't know what happened after that, but... a few days ago, she came to see Ah Xuan and said she vaguely remembered something, but I'm not sure what it was... I was in a deep sleep those days. Maybe Ye Ling knows. Why don't you ask Ye Ling?]

Lin Moyan nodded, but in his heart he said to Lulu

[No, don't let Xuan know about this for now. I'll go find out what's going on first. Ye Ling and Xuan are one, so Xuan will know a lot of things Ye Ling knows. Ye Ling must be busy already.]

"Meow~" [Are you suspecting that woman was involved in what happened with Ah Xuan? That shouldn't be possible!]

The black cat jumped and landed next to Lin Moyan.

[I'm also suspicious... We didn't find that person's trace back then, but now his presence has reappeared in China. Ruoqing and I just speculated that some skilled individuals helped him conceal his presence and avoid divine punishment. And that woman was also trapped in the Soul-Locking Formation, unable to leave. That formation is also incredibly complex, and without a certain level of magical power, it's impossible to achieve this.]

[So you suspect the person who imprisoned the woman's spirit is the same person who helped hide the body?]

[Well, that woman was too close to you. Unless she's a bond between you, or Ah Xuan knows her, but judging by her words and Ah Xuan's memories, they don't know each other. So there's only one possibility: the person who locked up the woman's soul and erased Ah Xuan's memories is the same person.]

[Hmm... I'll be more careful these days. Last time, I thought I heard her say she'd come see Xuan again in a few days. I'll act accordingly... Mo Yan... you just said Xuan's memory was erased? What's going on? How did you know?]

Lin Moyan nodded and said to Du Ruoqing beside him

"Ruoqing, go ask them to prepare the meal! Huainan, go check if the people who are sleeping have woken up. It's time to get up and eat. I'm going upstairs to check on Axuan. He hasn't eaten in a few days. He should eat before going back to sleep! Xiaoci, come with me too."

"it is good"

As he spoke, Lin Moyan picked up the black cat and walked towards Ye Youxuan's room.

[Well, the last time I went back to the underworld, Hades showed me some of Xuan’s memories.]

[Found it?]

[No, just a little bit. The Ghost Doctor said that Ah Xuan's sudden loss of his memories of his previous life was not accidental. Judging from his condition, it seems that someone had used magic to erase his memory. The amnesia caused by excessive grief should gradually recover after the Ghost Doctor's treatment, but Ah Xuan didn't have that problem. The Hades also speculated that maybe someone in the human world had practiced the soul-washing technique, which is why Ah Xuan's memory recovery is so difficult...]

The black cat squinted its eyes and swung its tail

[okay, I get it. ]

The two people and the cat walked slowly to Ye Youxuan's door and gently pushed it open.

Mo Yi and Mo Qi, who were protecting Ye Youxuan, stepped aside and disappeared when they saw that it was Lin Moyan.

Lin Moyan looked at Ye Youxuan who was still sleeping soundly, slowly sat down on the sofa, and gestured to Qin Xiaoci to sit down as well.

"Ah Xuan probably won't wake up for a while, let's sit and wait for a while."

"Ah."

The two of them just looked at Ye Youxuan quietly, and it was a long time before they spoke softly.

Lin Moyan slowly combed the black cat's fur. The black cat squinted its eyes in enjoyment. Lin Moyan looked up at Qin Xiaoci who had been looking at Ye Youxuan. Seeing Qin Xiaoci's focused eyes, Lin Moyan lowered his head and asked

"These past few years... have you been okay?"

Qin Xiaoci was stunned for a moment, then said with a mocking smile, "Compared to you... I'm much better..."

"Why do you want to come back? When you left, I thought you would never come back."

"That's what I thought at the time. I thought I would never have the face to face you again, but I met someone not long ago."

Qin Xiaoci stared into Lin Moyan's eyes as he spoke. His eyes were filled with sadness but also a hint of joy.

Lin Moyan stopped stroking the black cat.

"Who did you meet?"

"I had a dream. I dreamt of our old life and the future we had imagined... Everything was so beautiful. It felt like I had experienced that dream myself. It was beautiful and peaceful. There was you, me, Ah Xuan, and Ah Huan... It was so beautiful that I didn't want to wake up."

Qin Xiaoci did not answer Lin Moyan's question, but talked to himself, but he lowered his head. After a long silence, he spoke

"I didn't dare go to Ah Huan's birthday. I knew Ah Xuan would definitely go. I was afraid to see you guys, afraid that if I saw Ah Xuan I wouldn't be able to bear to leave... Isn't it funny? I didn't go to see Ah Huan, but Ah Huan... came to see me. She looked at me, neither crying nor laughing, but I could still understand the blame in her eyes... She asked me why I left Ah Xuan alone, when I had clearly promised her that I would watch over Ah Xuan for her... She told me that Ah Xuan was in danger now, and that I couldn't be with Ah Xuan alone for too long, so she asked me to come back... She also said that Ah Xuan was a person who was hard on the outside but soft on the inside... He was just too scared, afraid that someone would abandon him, hehe~ She also told me that as long as I pretended to be pitiful, Ah Xuan would definitely forgive me, so I used her method to deceive Ah Xuan, and that idiot Ah Xuan really took pity on me, and no longer blamed me for abandoning him, and no longer blamed me for letting him suffer alone for so many years..."

When Lin Moyan heard the word "Ah Huan", he thought to himself that it was true. Listening to Qin Xiaoci's words and looking at Ye Youxuan who was sleeping soundly on the bed, he couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah, he always thinks he's cold, but he's actually incredibly soft-hearted. He'll forget everything he did before just a few nice words from others..."

"yes"

The two of them smiled at each other as they spoke, but after the laughter came an even more painful sadness.

"Mo Yan, don't you blame me? I blame myself for abandoning Xuan and walking away."

Lin Moyan nodded and shook his head.

"To be honest... I don't know... It should be strange... But now that you're back, I feel great. Xiaoci, I'm so glad you're back. With you back, there will be someone to accompany him, and he should feel better if I leave."

Qin Xiaoci looked at Lin Moyan who was at a loss.

"What? You're leaving? Where are you going?"

Lin Moyan stood up and walked to Ye Youxuan's bed, just standing there quietly.
