Qiao Luo stared at him in surprise, wondering why he knew so many details about that incident back then.

"Actually, he didn't break his promise; he was just a few days late."

He was kidnapped by his father's enemies. They filmed many videos of him being tortured in order to use him as a hostage. When he was taken back, he was covered in injuries and had a fever for three days and three nights.

Later, his parents strongly opposed him going out, and only relented after his injuries had healed somewhat.

“But you weren’t there by then. He asked your family, but they told him you had been adopted by a distant relative and taken to a faraway place, and you would never come back. He was very sad at the time, so he went back.”

"How do you know? Do you know him? Did he tell you?"

This was the only thing Qiao Luo could think of.

Lu Tingnian didn't speak, but stared intently at her.

Qiao Luo met his gaze and saw a lot of emotions in his eyes, some of them complicated, but she didn't want to understand them. She simply said, "If he told you that, then he's making up a story to lie to you. I was never adopted by a distant relative, and I never went to a very far place. He's lying to you to lessen his guilt."

"But how do you explain this?"

As Lu Tingnian spoke, he took out a somewhat old photo from his wallet and handed it over.

He knew she wouldn't believe him, so he had already carried the photos with him.

Qiao Luo didn't know what it was, and hesitated for a moment before taking it. But she was stunned when she saw the person in the photo.

How do you have photos of me when I was a child?

She looked at Lu Tingnian with surprise.

Lu Tingnian did not answer, but instead focused his gaze on the photograph.

He bought it from her family at a high price after learning that she had gone to a faraway place, and he has treasured it like a precious gem ever since.

Whenever I miss her, I take it out and look at it.

Despite the passage of many years, this photo shows no signs of wear and tear, except for some yellowing.

Because he couldn't bear to part with it.

"Tell me, why do you have photos of me when I was a child?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Qiao Luo pressed on with another question.

Lu Tingnian stared at her blankly, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Because I am him."

"You?" Qiao Luo doubted her ears and looked at Lu Tingnian in shock.

Lu Tingnian nodded, "That's right, I'm the little brother you picked up from the street back then."

He looked serious and earnest, not like he was joking.

But Qiao Luo still refused to believe it.

"No, you're not, you're lying."

She was shocked, incredulous, panicked, and roared.

Lu Tingnian saw all of this.

"I am Qiao Luo, I am Qiao Luo."

"No, you're not, this isn't true."

Qiao Luo shook her head vigorously. How could this be true?

There's no such thing as a coincidence in the world; even a novelist probably wouldn't dare to write something like that.

Lu Tingnian gazed intently at her. He knew it wouldn't be easy to make her believe that all these coincidences were real, which was why he hadn't told her the truth yet.

After all, all of this is too unreal.

Not to mention her, even he looked incredulous when he woke up in the hospital and saw her.

After all, he never imagined he would meet her again in this lifetime.

But he actually encountered something that had such a very low probability of happening.

"Do you still remember Xiaobai?" Lu Tingnian asked.
