Ye Zhentian pinched his thigh hard.
"Hiss—" The intense pain made him gasp.
It's not a dream!
With a "thud," Ye Zhentian pushed open the car door and scrambled out of the limousine.
He rushed to Zhou Huai in a few steps, his eyes scanning Zhou Huai up and down.
"You...you..." Ye Zhentian pointed at Zhou Huai, his fingers trembling, and he could barely speak.
A while ago, when he went to that villa to pick up Ye Xi, he saw Zhou Huai's corpse with his own eyes!
That deathly pale face, that body without warmth, that completely ceased breathing and pulse!
That's the most dead imaginable!
What's the result now?
The person was standing perfectly fine in front of , and even their legs, which had been paralyzed for five years, had been cured and they could walk on their own?!
Ye Zhentian felt that the worldview he had built up over most of his life was collapsing once again!
"Uncle Ye, it's been a long ti." Zhou Huai looked at Ye Zhentian's bewildered expression and gave a helpless bitter smile.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ye Zhentian shuddered.
He quickly took a half step back, swallowed hard, and said sowhat uncertainly, "Zhou Huai, if I may be so bold as to say sothing offensive..."
"Are you a human or a ghost now?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huai couldn't help but chuckle.
He reached out and grasped Ye Zhentian's wrist.
The warm touch and the strong pulse traveled through Ye Zhentian's palm.
"Uncle Ye, don't worry, I'm definitely not a ghost." Zhou Huai's eyes were sincere, his tone calm, and he exuded a reassuring power: "My situation before was a bit special, you could say... I escaped death. Now I've completely recovered, and I won't be confined to a wheelchair like before."
Feeling the real warmth of a living person, Ye Zhentian finally felt relieved.
"Alive! It really is alive!"
Overwheld with emotion, he burst into tears, grabbed Zhou Huai's hand tightly, and cried out in a choked voice, "Good! Good! As long as you're alive! Heaven has eyes, Heaven has eyes!"
"If my Xi'er knew you were still alive, she... she would be overjoyed!"
ntioning Ye Xi softened Zhou Huai's expression, and he felt a pang of guilt.
"Uncle Ye, where's Xi'er? Is she still at the Ye family's house?" Zhou Huai asked impatiently. "I want to see her."
However, upon hearing this question...
The excitent and joy on Ye Zhentian's face quickly faded.
His face was now filled with deep sorrow and exhaustion.
He nodded with a complicated expression and sighed, "Xi'er is at ho, but..."
"Just what?" Zhou Huai frowned, sensing that sothing was wrong.
Ye Zhentian stamred:
“Zhou Huai, because of what happened to you that ti... Xi’er really suffered a great shock.”
"After we brought her back from your house, her personality completely changed!"
How can one's personality change so drastically?
"She locked herself in the yard and ignored everyone. What's even more terrifying is... the way she looked at people beca incredibly unfamiliar and cold. That coldness wasn't from excessive grief, but rather from looking at a group of insignificant ants!"
"She doesn't even recognize , her father!"
"As soon as I get a little closer, she unleashes an extrely terrifying aura that even the high-level professional guards in the house find it hard to breathe!"
“I was just worrying about this, not knowing who to ask for help. It’s good that you’re here. Perhaps... the one who tied the knot must untie it; you can awaken her.”
A drastic change in personality? Looking at people like ants? A terrifying aura?
Zhou Huai's expression turned serious.
"Uncle Ye, please take to see her!"
"Okay! Co with !"
Led by Ye Zhentian, the two hurriedly passed through the luxurious front hall of the Ye family manor and went straight to a quiet garden at the back.
As soon as Zhou Huai stepped into the garden, he felt an unusual atmosphere.
It was early morning, and the sun was shining brightly, but the air in the garden was chilly.
The once vibrant and blooming flowers now appear withered and gray, their vitality drained by so invisible force.
Zhou Huai's gaze was fixed on the figure sitting on the bench in the center of the garden.
A light green long dress fluttered gently in the wind.
That's Ye Xi.
She was still as beautiful and charming as ever, with skin as white as snow and features so exquisite they seed otherworldly.
However, upon hearing footsteps, Ye Xi turned her head and her gaze fell on Zhou Huai.
Zhou Huai's heart sank to the bottom.
Her eyes had lost their forr liveliness and clarity, and the joy she felt when she saw him was gone.
There was only indifference!
That's definitely not the look Ye Xi would have!
Zhou Huai's heart skipped a beat, and his bad premonition grew stronger.
Ye Zhentian, standing to the side, shrank back in fright and whispered a warning to Zhou Huai, "Zhou Huai, did you see that? Xi'er is in a very bad mood right now. She won't allow anyone to get too close to her, not even . You have to be careful!"
Zhou Huai didn't speak, but nodded solemnly and strode towards the bench in the center of the garden.
One step, two steps, three steps...
When Zhou Huai walked to a position about ten ters away from Ye Xi.
Ye Xi, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly raised her fair chin.
"stop!"
Although the voice was still Ye Xi's, the tone and expression were completely different.
"Is there sothing you need?"
She tilted her head and scrutinized Zhou Huai.
Looking at the girl who once had eyes only for him and was willing to risk her life for him, he now felt so indifferent and unfamiliar.
Zhou Huai felt a pang /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ of pain in his heart.
He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and tried to awaken the sleeping soul with the gentlest voice.
"Xi'er, don't you recognize ?"
"I am Zhou Huai."
"What...is wrong with you?"
Upon hearing the na "Zhou Huai," the icy-cold girl on the bench trembled almost imperceptibly.
"Zhou...Huai?"
She lowered her head, and the coldness in her eyes montarily faded.
Sotis I try hard to recall it, and sotis I'm obsessed, repeatedly chewing on the na between my lips and teeth.
“Zhou Huai...Brother Zhou Huai...”
She suddenly stood up from the bench!
A dazzling light burst forth from those previously lifeless eyes!
That was Ye Xi's own dynamism and deep affection!
She stared at Zhou Huai not far away, and saw that face she had longed for day and night, which had lost its life in her arms, now vividly appearing before her eyes!
"Brother Zhou Huai!!"
A sound mixed with ecstasy and disbelief.
"Brother Zhou Huai...you're still alive?! You're really still alive?!"
As she spoke, Ye Xi's eyes reddened, and large tears rolled down her fair cheeks.
Without hesitation, she lifted her pale green skirt and ran towards Zhou Huai, wanting to throw herself into the embrace she had longed for countless days and nights!
Seeing this, Zhou Huai's heart finally cald down a little, and he opened his arms to welco his girl.
However!
Just as Ye Xi had taken two steps...
A sudden change has occurred!
Her body ca to an abrupt end!
On that stunningly beautiful face, flushed with excitent, the muscles began to twist and twitch violently. Two completely different forces were waging a fierce tug-of-war within her body!
"No... let go... I need to get there..."
Ye Xi murmured in pain, desperately reaching out one hand towards Zhou Huai while the other hand gripped her own neck, trying to stop herself from moving forward!
In just a few seconds, Ye Xi's own agility and joy were forcibly suppressed and stripped away by the domineering force!
His expression returned to that chilling indifference.
When she looked up at Zhou Huai, her gaze was no longer filled with affection, but instead with deep disgust and hatred!
"I don't care who you are..."
"Get out of here right now!"
Instantly, a visible golden wave of energy erupted from her center!
The withered flowers and plants around them were shredded into dust, and even Zhou Huai was forced to take a half step back by this sudden and terrifying aura!
This capricious and extrely bizarre change completely stunned Ye Zhentian, who was standing not far away.
He stared blankly at his daughter, stamring, "What...what happened? Could Xi'er's condition be due to too much trauma, causing her to develop schizophrenia?"
Schizophrenia?
Zhou Huai shook his head upon hearing this.
His fists were clenched tightly under his sleeves, his nails digging into his palms, and his face was ashen, looking extrely ugly.
He strode forward, facing the suffocating and terrifying pressure, his gaze fixed on Ye Xi in the distance.
"You are... a descendant of an ancient race?!"
