The rough rope tied his hands behind his back, leaving circles of red marks.

The scene was very dark and blurry, and the surroundings could not be seen clearly, as if there was a cloth covering the eyes.

It was noisy all around, with blaring sirens, alternating conversations, and finally ended with a—

"Forget about it."

Shi Huai held his forehead to relieve the sudden tingling pain.

Heart palpitations surged up, and he tried his best not to let himself think about it.

"I don't remember, I don't remember..."

Seeing his painful look, He Yinan patted his head: "It's okay, it's okay if you don't remember."

"It's just that I said this because I doubted..."

"Your memory may have been tampered with." He Yinan bowed slightly, looking at him.

He Yinan's eyes were light brown, he gently rubbed Shi Huai's head, and comforted him with a gentle voice: "If you feel pain now, don't think about it."

Shi Huai grabbed his hand and said, "Wait."

He pointed to the newspaper on the table: "When I saw this newspaper just now, there was a voice in my mind, and that voice said, forget it."

"It appears to have been tampered with."

The room suddenly fell into silence, He Yinan's face was quite serious, he asked: "You don't remember that you were kidnapped, then do you remember anything unusual about your family?"

Shi Huai tried hard to recall: "It seems that, in my impression, they did sometimes ask some strange questions, asking me if I was afraid of the dark, and if I was afraid of going to and from school alone..."

"How did you answer that?"

Shi Huai scratched his cheek: "I didn't know what they meant at the time, but of course they said they were not afraid."

He Yinan frowned: "Did they never ask again?"

Shi Huai nodded, and He Yinan stopped talking: "Are you so big-hearted?"

Shi Huai asked: "Do you think they falsified my memory?"

He Yinan shook his head: "If it were them, they wouldn't ask you these questions, because these questions may cause your memory to be disturbed, and thus remind you of this kidnapping, then the meaning of tampering with your memory would no longer exist."

"It might be the kidnappers." He Yinan said, "He probably hasn't been released from prison yet. If you want to investigate, you can still find out. I'll check it out in a few days."

Shi Huai nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Aren't you a psychological counselor? How did you start to become a detective?"

He Yinan was speechless: "It's not because Elsie has been kind to me. Your mother must not be happy to see you like this."

Shi Huai's eyes dimmed. Although his mother didn't have much contact with him, the rare maternal love seemed even more precious.

"But today's banquet is really strange. Obviously you are the protagonist. Why did that He Kangyang steal the limelight, but you hide yourself in this small room instead."

Shi Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Isn't this because you were looking for me? What do you mean by hiding in a small room? It sounds like you're running away."

During the conversation, there was a knock on the door.

"Xiao Huai, are you inside?" It was Shi Qian's voice.

The two people in the room looked at each other, and He Yinan patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, let's go, anyway, we are good friends, isn't it normal to whisper something?"

Shi Huai nodded, walked in front of He Yinan and opened the door.

Outside the doorway, bright light came in, and a tall young man wearing decent clothes and glasses was standing at the doorway.

He was tall, and when he looked at Shi Huai who opened the door, he lowered his head slightly.

Soon, Shi Qian noticed He Yinan behind Shi Huai, but he didn't know He Yinan, so he just nodded.

"Xiao Huai, why are you here? Dad has been looking for you."

Shi Qian spoke lightly, as if he was just here to pass on a message.

Shi Huai frowned: "Why are you looking for me? Isn't He Kangyang the protagonist today?"

Shi Qian was a little surprised at the moment, he asked: "Why do you think so? Of course the protagonist is our Xiaohuai."

"You and your friend chatting here are very happy. Dad can't find you, and he is very anxious."

Shi Huai felt a little strange.

While the two of them were talking, another person came up to the second floor.

It was Shi Deming who Shi Qian said was anxious to find Shi Huai.

When Shi Deming saw Shi Huai, his face relaxed: "So you are here, let's go, go down with Dad to meet some people."

As he walked over, he said, "Why do you always keep me from worrying? After He Kangyang finished speaking, he obediently waited for me in the audience. You didn't know where you went."

"Why, which friend are you chatting with in this small room on the second floor?"

Shi Deming was standing by the corridor, coming here, he could not see He Yinan behind Shi Huai.

Shi Huai just wanted to introduce He Yinan to them, but remembered a sentence Shi Deming said not long ago, Shi Huai hooked the corners of his lips, and opened his mouth casually.

"Oh, it's the psychiatrist I told Dad about before."

"Psychiatrist?" Shi Deming was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Shi Huai had indeed told him about this before.

There was some displeasure on his face: "I've said it all, don't look at those weird things, psychiatrists and everything are cheating people's money, what kind of psychological problems can you have? It's not that those people just want to make money from you." Growing kids' money, made up."

Shi Huai said meaningfully: "Oh... so it is like this."

He turned his head and asked He Yinan, with pitiful eyes: "He Yinan, so you came to cheat me of money?"

He Yinan, who was inexplicably exported his profession by others: "..."

At this time, when Shi Deming came, he saw He Yinan.

His eyes widened, and he quickly stretched out his hand: "Hey! Young Master He? Why are you here?"

When Shi Deming called He Yinan He Shao who was younger than him and had a very tender face, it really felt a little out of harmony.

"I thought you wouldn't have time to come over there."

He Yinan stretched out his hand politely, and smiled: "That's when I'm free."

"After all, I'm a special purpose to cheat children out of money."

Shi Deming said bad things about people, but the person involved was here, so he didn't feel embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject.

"No, if it's He Shao, of course it's worth the money."

"Xiao Huai is really too, don't tell me earlier." Shi Deming blamed, "He Shao, let's go down and talk?"

He Yinan waved his hand: "No, I have to rush to cheat other children's money, so I left first."

He Yinan did not give Shi Deming face repeatedly, Shi Deming was not angry, but just bid him farewell politely.

……

After the birthday party in the manor, Shi Huai didn't even eat anything, and was dragged to meet the guests with He Kangyang throughout the whole process. Basically, everyone would joke about their looks.

Shi Huaipi listened to Shi Deming bragging about his "fate" with He Kangyang with a nonchalant smile.

After returning to Shi's house, it was already very late. Aunt Song seemed to be asleep, and the lights were all off.

Because Shi Huai forgot his mobile phone in the car, he went back to the garage to get it. He was the last to enter the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a happy scene——

The boy was surrounded by people, wearing a paper birthday crown on his head, the lights in the house were still off, but the light from the dancing candles on the big cake in the center shone on the side of the boy, his eyelashes were covered with light, Softens the entire face for a nice look.

Three people surrounded the boy, singing birthday song.

Shi Huai stood at the door, still holding the phone in his hand, stunned for a long time.

It wasn't until they finished singing the birthday song that someone found Shi Huai standing at the door.

Shi Qian spoke first: "Xiao Huai, where did you go just now? Aunt Song prepared a big cake for you and He Kangyang, but you were not there, so I didn't know where you went, so I sang for Kangyang first."

After all, the banquet was just for outsiders to see, and I had to make up for my birthday when I got home.

He Kangyang also turned around at this time, still wearing the small, paper crown on his head, looking like a little prince.

He smiled, with bright eyes, and waved slightly to Shi Huai: "Brother Shi Huai, come and eat cake together."

Shi Huai's breathing was wrong for a few beats, which was very uncomfortable.

He frowned and asked Shi Qian: "I just said I'm going to get my phone."

What do you mean not knowing where he went? Didn't he say that?At that time, Shi Qian still agreed.

Shi Qian was taken aback, he didn't expect Shi Huai to say that, his eyes under the glasses were very puzzled.

"Xiao Huai is angry? It's okay, why don't you come over and eat together. This cake was originally prepared for you and He Kangyang, so I don't mean not to give it to you."

Originally, Shi Huai was just uncomfortable with how they treated them differently, even though they had the same birthday, how could the two birthday stars not even wait for him to sing the birthday song.

If Shiqian had said that before, it seemed that he was ignorant and playing with his temper.

"I don't want to eat this cake, I mean, why don't you wait for me..."

"Aren't I waiting for you now?" Shi Deming frowned, motioning for Shi Huai to come over, "The cake hasn't been cut yet, isn't it waiting for you?"

"..." Shi Huai pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Obviously, if he hadn't come back just now, the cake would have been cut, and he said he was waiting for him, which is a lie.

When Shi Huai walked over, the corners of his lips were pressed tightly.

He had known for a long time that it would end up like this, so why did he still have expectations and think that this life would be different.

Just because in this life, with He Yinan beside him, does he feel that he can defeat He Kangyang again?

In fact, it was also because of the kidnapping that He Yinan mentioned today, which made him feel that maybe there was a reason why his family treated him so strangely.

But what kind of reason would make an outsider who does not belong to the family occupy their favor all the time, but instead neglect, or even abandon their own child?

Even in the previous life, Shi Huai was impatient, had a bad temper, and was often provoked by He Kangyang, and often spoke indiscriminately, which led to being abandoned by everyone in the end.

So now he obviously hasn't done anything yet, why is he still gradually heading towards the original end.

Now it is neglected, so the abandonment of the previous life, will it be far behind?

Aunt Song was in charge of cutting the cake. The transparent cake knife cut straight down and divided the cake into several pieces.

This is a fruitcake with a lot of mango on top.

Shi Huai's favorite food is mangoes, and there are not too many mangoes, but compared with strawberries and raisins, it seems a little less.

Shi Huai sighed, and planned to eat a mango to comfort himself, maybe the family members did have some unspeakable secrets, and it might not be good for He Kangyang, he just investigated slowly.

Shi Qian divided the cake that Aunt Song had cut piece by piece, and the first one was given to He Kangyang, which was full of mangoes.

Shi Huai stared blankly at those mangoes being eaten by He Kangyang bit by bit.
