After transmigrating into the book, I became the little sun of the crazy villain.

Yun Zhao subconsciously glanced at Qi Yan... to gauge her favorability.

Good, it didn't fall off.

She decisively abandoned Song Zhiyuan and ran to Qi Yan's side, "Ayan, you're out of seclusion."

"Hmm," Qi Yan said with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "If we don't leave the seclusion soon, what if someone stabs us in the back again and we end up in the dungeon again?"

He emphasized the word "again" twice.

Alright, alright, this person is bringing up old grievances again.

Yun Zhao smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "I felt more at ease once you came out of seclusion. This person said he had something to tell me about you, so I let him come, but he just said these nonsensical things."

As she spoke, Yun Zhao pouted, "I've never heard my martial uncle say that I'm engaged. Someone must be lying to me because I'm all alone!"

“However,” Yun Zhao changed the subject, grabbing Qi Yan’s sleeve, “I have a backer now, A-Yan, you should get rid of him quickly!”

Hearing her say that, Qi Yan finally smiled and looked up at Song Zhiyuan: "Senior Brother Song, did you hear what Zhaozhao said? Are you leaving on your own, or should I see you off?"

Song Zhiyuan's face was grim. "Yun Zhao, you don't believe me?"

Yun Zhao expressed her opinion through her actions: she covered her ears and shouted, "I don't want to hear it, you bastards are chanting scriptures!"

Qi Yan glanced at him; the man's face was as black as coal.

Song Zhiyuan took a deep breath and said calmly, "Yun Zhao, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask the sect leader or other peak masters."

He chuckled lightly, "By the way, the sect leader is my master, so it's normal that you don't believe me. But I can't possibly ask the other peak masters to lie with me, can I?"

"Peak Master Lu and True Person Hanyue are your own senior uncles and senior sisters. You should believe what they say, right?"

Seeing Song Zhiyuan speak with such certainty, Yun Zhao's heart sank.

Could it be that he wasn't making this up, and that this really happened?

But the original owner had no memories, which really screwed her over!

But that doesn't matter. The important thing is to get rid of Song Zhiyuan and appease Qi Yan.

Yun Zhao nudged Qi Yan, and although she didn't say anything, Qi Yan understood what she meant.

He stepped forward. "Senior Brother Song, shall I see you off?"

Song Zhiyuan glanced at Qi Yan and said coldly, "No need."

He glanced at Yun Zhao again, softening his tone: "Junior sister, come back when you're done playing. I'll be waiting for you to turn back."

"You're still young, and you're blinded by the new things outside. I don't blame you. You and I are a match made in heaven. Don't let some filthy people get your hands dirty."

After saying that, Song Zhiyuan turned and left, making Yun Zhao so angry that she was practically fuming. But Qi Yan stopped her, and she could only watch helplessly as Song Zhiyuan left.

"Why are you stopping me?" Yun Zhao said angrily. "He said those things about you, and you're not angry?!"

"If the two of us team up, we can definitely knock all his teeth out!"

Yun Zhao is a very professional person and very protective of her own. If her target was insulted, she would definitely fight back if Qi Yan hadn't stopped her!

Qi Yan lowered her eyes and said, "What he said isn't wrong either."

"What's right?"

Yun Zhao frowned, cupped Qi Yan's face in his hands, and forced him to look up.

The girl's palms were warm, and the warmth spread from her cheeks to her whole body, making Qi Yan feel warm all over.

“Qi Yan, let me tell you,” Yun Zhao forced him to look up and said seriously, “Since I brought you out of the dungeon, no one has been able to bully you anymore.”

"If I had one, I would protect you!"

"No one can use your identity against you. You are not allowed to belittle yourself anymore. If anyone says that again, I order you to fight back!"

Yun Zhao said fiercely, "Did you hear me!"

The sound rang in his ears, and Qi Yan was stunned for a long time.

Then, he chuckled softly.

This left Yun Zhao completely bewildered. "What are you laughing at?"

“Yeah, I suddenly feel like laughing,” Qi Yan’s gaze softened abruptly, “You seem like someone else.”

Yun Zhao paused for two seconds, then said irritably, "What do you mean 'looks like a person'? I am a person!"

Why are you still cursing!

Qi Yan: "..."

Seeing his speechless expression, Yun Zhao belatedly realized that Qi Yan probably wasn't cursing her.

She coughed. "Um, who do I look like?"

Qi Yan held Yun Zhao's hand, and the two sat on a stone bench in the courtyard. "Like... the first person who was kind to me."

He curved his lips into a smile, as if recalling some fond memories.

"She's mentally challenged, but when I'm bullied, she always protects me. Even if it costs her her life, she won't let anyone hurt me in the slightest..."

Qi Yan whispered to Yun Zhao about the past. Yun Zhao listened quietly, feeling a sense of wonder. It turned out that even the villain still had a bit of kindness in his heart.

No wonder that in the original story, when Qi Yan went on a killing spree, he didn't indiscriminately kill innocent people.

He killed people who had grudges against him, but his methods were extremely ruthless.

Of course, it's also possible that the main villain disdains taking the lives of ants.

etc--

Yun Zhao suddenly realized that Qi Yan's comment that she resembled the person who had protected him before meant that he was... using her as a substitute?!

Alright, alright, you're into stand-in fiction, huh!

Yun Zhao kept his distance from him with a blank expression.

Qi Yan: "?"

He was very confused. "What's wrong with you?"

Yun Zhao asked with a stern face, "May I ask who you're talking about?"

Qi Yan was taken aback, and after a long pause, he said, "She is... my mother."

Ah, this--

Yun Zhao slapped himself on the head, feeling a little ashamed.

What was she thinking just now?!

Qi Yan was used to Yun Zhao's sudden outbursts. "By the way, about you and Song Zhiyuan..."

For some reason, Qi Yan didn't like the word "engagement." He paused for a moment and said, "Are you going to find someone to verify it?"

Yun Zhao hesitated: "Should I go ask Uncle Lu? Although it's possible that Song Zhiyuan is making things up, if it's true, I can make plans as soon as possible."

Meeting Qi Yan's eyes, Yun Zhao shrugged. "Qi Yan, do you believe me? I don't know anything about this. Nobody told me anything."

Qi Yan took out a tea set and poured Yun Zhao a cup of tea. "I believe you."

Yun Zhao always felt that he didn't really believe him, but his expression didn't change, and his favorability towards him didn't show any signs of decreasing.

She reluctantly believed Qi Yanxin, silently picked up her teacup, but didn't drink a single drop of tea.

It's really annoying not having a complete memory; who knows when some old stories will pop up and cause her trouble.

The system hasn't replied yet, otherwise...

Yun Zhao's eyes darted around, and he suddenly sighed.

"What are you sighing for?"

Qi Yan asked.

Yun Zhao's eyes flickered, and he slumped listlessly onto the stone table, muttering, "Qi Yan, have I ever told you that I have amnesia?"

Qi Yan paused in his teacup-picking motion. "What?"

Yun Zhao changed his posture, propped his head up, and said with deep resentment, "After rescuing you from the dungeon, I seem to have lost some memories."

"For example, some things that happened when I was a child, it's as if I never experienced them."
