Ling Xiao's fingers slowly traced the edge of the table, then slowly slid forward and extended, then slowly retracted, his index finger and little finger rhythmically undulating along the edge of the table.

Ling Xiao frowned and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. The Heavenly Dao or whatever you're talking about, I... I don't really understand either. Are they people I know?"

As he spoke, he glanced nervously to his left and right, then said in a low but serious voice, "And, from what you're saying... I've killed someone? Or rather, I have that tendency?"

Cheng Xiaoli sighed, took Ling Xiao's hand, and said earnestly, "Brother, I know you want a clean background to face others, but you can rest assured when you're with me, and you don't have to work so hard anymore."

Seeing that Ling Xiao was still looking at her blankly, Cheng Xiaoli stopped trying to persuade him. She patted Ling Xiao's hand and said, "I know what to do."

Now that Wu Xie and the others know I'm a madman, heartless and ruthless, and that my brother and I, who used to be estranged, have now completely fallen out, everything I do will be unrelated to my brother.

After all, she's a madwoman, and everything she does is understandable.

Then, as if remembering something, she added, "Once we successfully acquire life points and everything stabilizes, how about we move to another world? A less complicated world, just you and me."

After Cheng Xiaoli finished speaking, she started rummaging through the black coat. As she searched, she said with a smile, "Brother should give me a new coat. This is really the last coat that carries your scent. You have no idea how I've gotten through these past few days. Without these things to hold onto, I really can't fall asleep."

Then she murmured, "I might really be going crazy. When I leave this scent, I can't control my emotions. When I smell it again after being away for a long time, I can't help but feel excited."

After saying that, she joked, "If I hadn't been tested, I would really suspect that you gave me drugs."

The fumbling in her hands stopped. Cheng Xiaoli finally found the thing. She took out a packet of powder from her clothes and stuffed it into Ling Xiao's hand, saying, "This is a drug to fake your death. It was hard to get. This is the only packet. If you encounter a desperate situation, or if they don't believe you and you can't get away, take this. I'll come pick you up."

Ling Xiao held the packet of powder in his hand, remaining silent for a long time without making any movements or expressions. Only Cheng Xiaoli was muttering about their past together.

After a long while, Ling Xiao finally spoke: "I really have amnesia. I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

I need some time to process this. As for the clothes, although I don't really like your behavior, and I don't really know what our relationship was like before, I hope this is the last time. The clothes are in the closet; you can take them yourself. But… don't touch the wardrobe on the left; that belongs to Little Flower Brother.”

Cheng Xiaoli opened the wardrobe, and just as she put on her gloves, she heard Ling Xiao tell her not to touch Xie Yuhua's wardrobe. She immediately stopped what she was doing, and an indescribable feeling of bitterness welled up in her heart.

Her brother himself was also a germaphobe, which is why she brought gloves, afraid of upsetting him. But her brother only ever thought about Jieyuhua.

Her vision began to blur, so Cheng Xiaoli quickly put on gloves, took down a few pieces of clothing from the far right, and tidied them up.

She can't cry, at least not here.

"Take this packet of medicine back. To be honest, I don't feel close to you. Taking your medicine makes me feel like I'm receiving help from a stranger, which makes me uncomfortable." Ling Xiao pushed the powder back to her.
