bedroom.

After being tired all day, Gu Qingyan's eyelids started to droop not long after he lay down, and he soon fell asleep.

"Qing Yan?"

Yan Qing called out softly, but the only response she got was Gu Qingyan's even and gentle breathing.

He seemed to be fast asleep.

Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, took out his phone, turned the brightness down to the lowest setting, and tried to contact Ning Ke:

[Did you do this? Want to destroy the information left by my father? ]

Yan Qing stared at the screen closely, but the message remained unread.

Although he didn't get a reply from Ning Ke, it was already a done deal in Yan Qing's mind.

She was certain that it was Ning Ke who smashed the computer.

[You can't stop me. I will get to the bottom of everything.]

Yan Qing pursed her lips and continued typing.

[I have been investigating who killed my family and have ruled out several suspicious targets.]

[And I discovered that my father’s identity is not just as simple as “Yan Sichen”. ]

[My whole family was murdered, which was closely related to the secret that my father wanted to hide.]

[I'm very curious, why are you using my brother's phone number? The small device you accidentally dropped at University A is also closely related to my parents.]

If you are not willing to help me, I hope you will go back to Clifton City.

Every word Yan Qing sent was cold and emotionless.

【Rather than doing everything you can to hinder me. 】

[Your actions will not change anything, nor will they shake my heart. ]

[Go back. I can't guarantee your safety in the imperial capital.]

Yan Qing sighed heavily, and it was especially clear in the silent night.

[Perhaps, you are doing this for my own good... But right now, you really make me feel scared.]

Yan Qing rubbed his brows with a headache, and looked through the messages he had sent, but still found none of them were read.

I felt a little irritated in my chest and even wanted to make a phone call.

But on second thought, Ning Ke didn’t read the message... maybe he hasn’t reached a safe place yet.

Yan Qing felt even worse.

She threw down her phone and covered her neck with one hand, as if something was blocking her throat and she had trouble breathing.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

As if dazzled by the light of the phone, Gu Qingyan rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Yan Qing dazedly.

"Why don't you turn on the light? It's bad for your eyes to look at your phone in the dark..."

Yan Qing had no choice but to lie down, "No more playing. Go to sleep right away."

Gu Qingyan yawned and tucked the quilt between his legs.

"That's right, go to sleep quickly. You're not in good health, you won't be able to hold on..."

The remaining half of the sentence turned into an unconscious murmur.

Yan Qing found it funny and felt warm inside.

She closed her eyes and slowly relaxed her whole body.

Fatigue is the best catalyst, and Yan Qing gradually fell into a light sleep.

Familiar dream, familiar scene.

Dad cooks, Mom reads, and my brother plays the piano.

Home is still the same home.

But Yan Qing could never see the faces of his relatives clearly, let alone their expressions.

They were doing their own thing quietly.

Yan Qing could hear the music of the piano, the sounds of cooking in the kitchen... and even the sound of the wind blowing through the hall.

However, Yan Sichen and others in the dream seemed unable to see Yan Qing.

They didn't say a word, as if they were frozen in time.

Yan Qing wandered around the house aimlessly, like a ghost.

The only clear things in the dream were the ubiquitous featherwit and the seal of the black crow.

Yan Qing pretended not to see these things that were made out of nothing.

She ran into the kitchen and rushed towards Yan Sichen's back.

"father!"

Although I know I am dreaming, I still want to experience the happiness of the past again.

However, before her hand touched her father's sweater, Yan Sichen's figure disappeared.

Like dust, it disappeared into the air.

Yan Qing stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

In the kitchen, Dad was clearly cooking.

When she came in just now, there were chopped cucumbers and radishes on the chopping board, and meat sauce for pasta was being fried in a frying pan.

But when Dad disappeared, these things disappeared too.

The frying pan was empty and the stove was not turned on.

Yan Qing rushed out of the kitchen and found that everyone was gone.

The piano lid was still open.

The book spread out on the table was turning its pages slowly with the gentle breeze.

My mother and brother also disappeared along with my father.

It was like she had lost them all over again.

The gentle sunlight slowly shines into the house through the clean glass, casting mottled light and shadows.

It seemed like just an ordinary afternoon and nothing had happened.

Yan Qing felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

"That's enough. I've had enough..."

Yan Qing sat on the floor, covering her face and crying.

“Why is this…”

The dream gradually became blurred.

When I opened my eyes again, the bedroom was dark, but my face felt cold.

Yan Qing grabbed the corner of the quilt to wipe away her tears, but the sadness in the dream still remained in her heart and she could not calm down for a long time.

She knew in her heart that this was the "stamp" left by Liang Yunian in her subconscious mind.

Liang Yunian had to remind her again and again to explore the secret.

Yan Qing belatedly touched his chest. Under his thin ribs, his heart was beating violently under the heavy burden.

Trembling along with the fingertips.

She took a deep breath and looked at the pillow - Gu Qingyan was still sleeping soundly.

Yan Qing stared at her for a few seconds, then tiptoed out of bed.

Afraid of making any noise, she walked out of the bedroom barefoot without even wearing slippers.

After going out, Yan Qing looked at the time - it was half past three.

She had slept for almost two hours, but she was no longer very sleepy.

After standing there and thinking for a few seconds, Yan Qing walked into the study.

……

early morning.

"Miss Gu?"

Jia Jia carefully poked Gu Qingyan's face.

"It's already eight o'clock. Breakfast is ready."

Gu Qingyan was obviously still asleep, he couldn't even lift his eyelids.

"Jia Jia... I don't eat breakfast. Just call me Yan Qing..."

Jiajia glanced at the empty bed beside her and touched her head:

"Is Sister Yan Qing awake yet? But she didn't come down to eat... and there's no one in the bathroom either."

Gu Qingyan immediately woke up, sat up, and looked to the side -

"Shit, where did she go?"

"I do not know."

Jiajia shook her head and suddenly laughed.

"Will Sister Yan Qing go to see Mr. Fu?"

"……Too."

She almost forgot that Yan Qing was already taken.

Gu Qingyan nodded and quickly put on his clothes.

"You gave me such a fright that I'm not even sleepy anymore."

"Hehe," Jia Jia smiled embarrassedly, "I will pay attention next time."

"By the way, Jiajia, isn't the college entrance examination coming up soon?"

Gu Qingyan asked with great interest,

"How do you feel? Do you have confidence?"

"what?"

Jia Jia was stunned, and lowered her head in confusion.

"I took the mock test and I can probably get more than 300 points... I think Sister Yan Qing will be disappointed."

"Three hundred points? No way!" Gu Qingyan patted her shoulder vigorously.

"How long have you studied? You can get 300 points on the test! If you can go to school normally, you will definitely be a top student!"

"You flatter me."

A blush spread across Jiajia's face.

"I...I'm still a long way from here."

"Jia Jia, have you ever thought about what major you will choose when you go to college?"

Gu Qingyan blinked her eyes, like a kind older sister.

"I'll help you plan."

"I?"

Jiajia was somewhat flattered.

"I... don't know how many I can get in the exam yet."

"fine!"

Gu Qingyan waved his hand.

"Don't worry about how many points you can get in the exam. Just think about what kind of career you want to have and what kind of life you want to live in the future."

Jiajia thought about it seriously and smiled embarrassedly.

"When I was little I wanted to be a scientist and study the stars and spaceships... Then my dad spanked me and told me to stop daydreaming."

She smiled bitterly,

"Dad said that this is what my brother should do. He will have a bright future... I should find a rich man to marry, and then take good care of my brother, so that he can get married smoothly and continue the family line..."

This statement is too classic.

Gu Qingyan gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After all, they are Jia Jia's parents, and it doesn't seem right to curse them directly.

The words turned around in his mouth twice, but he swallowed them.

"Then you can consider applying for a major in aerospace."

Gu Qingyan thought about it.

"There are many colleges and universities in the capital, and the aerospace majors are all very good. Yan Qing and I have several high school classmates who seem to be studying this. Let's invite them to come and get together with you some other day."

Jiajia didn't expect that she was serious and was a little overwhelmed.

"Don't bother them. It's very difficult to get into the schools in the capital. I think I might..."

"Oh, it's all right."

Gu Qingyan didn't care.

"You've only studied for a few months, and you can get 300 points. If you study hard for two years, you will definitely pass."

She patted Jiajia's shoulder and smiled slyly:

"Don't be afraid, your sister Yan Qing is a good person, and she's not short of money, so she will definitely be happy to support you in studying for two years.

"No matter how bad it is, with my financial resources, I can still support you to go to college."

Jia Jia stared at her face blankly and forgot what to say for a moment.

"Let's go downstairs to eat."

……

When he arrived at the restaurant, Gu Qingyan found that everyone was there.

She knows Fu Wangjin, Bai Ye, and Xiao Di.

"Hey, isn't the young lady awake yet?"

Gu Qingyan asked casually, and then explained himself,

"Yes, she must have been tired yesterday, so it would be good for her to get some more sleep."

Fu Wangjin's expression changed, and Bai Ye spoke first:

"She doesn't sleep with you?"

Gu Qingyan was confused.

"But he was gone in the morning."

She looked at Fu Wangjin, whose expression changed slightly.

"Didn't she come to see you?"
