Chapter 49.1 (2/2)

Sure enough, as soon as he realized that it was a fantasy, Lu Heng cleared his mind. He found that he and Qin Yi were still standing outside the karst cave and had never stepped in at all.

“Be careful not to be fascinated by illusion.” Lu Heng finished, but did not hear a response.

When he looked sideways, he found Qin Yi standing in his place, his face in a trance. At first glance, he was clearly caught in the illusion.

“Shidi?” Lu Heng raised his voice a little, “Qin Yi!”

Still there was no response. It seemed that the man was deeply entangled. The more yearning his heart had, the harder it would be to wake up from this illusion. What on earth is this person seeing? Lu Heng was somewhat distressed.

He had to take a risk. He was hoping that this man, like his predecessors, was totally defenseless against him. Lu Heng grabbed Qin Yi’s hand and located his pulse gate 2. He poured his divine sense into it. As a matter of fact, it was like entering an uninhabited world.

“Qin Yi, Qin Yi! What you see is an illusion! ”

Qin Yi’s body trembled and was finally awakened by the voice in the depths of his consciousness. He reflexively turned his hand and tightly gripped Lu Heng’s hand, which caused him pain. Qin Yi looked around blankly, and after a long time, he completely returned to the real world.

“You, what are you holding my hand for?” Qin Yi loosened his hand and wanted to cover it up.

“…” Was this man trapped in an illusion that leads to a decrease in IQ? Lu Heng felt a bit helpless.

Seeing Lu Heng’s silent expression, Qin Yi said, “This cave is so weird that I just felt like I lost consciousness, like I had a dream.”

“It’s an illusion. If it doesn’t break, we can’t get in.” Lu Heng said, “There must be something important in this cave.”

At this time, it was almost dusk, Lu Heng and Qin Yi taking everything into consideration, decided to return to the camp first, from a long-term perspective.

In the deep valley, total silence had descended. A campfire was lit in a clearing above the mountain stream. Four people sat around the campfire, each having varied expressions.

The baby-faced young man sat on the lee, holding a bowl bigger than his face, concentrating on picking the rice. His method of eating involved making exaggerated finger movements.

However, none of the other three people were infected by his good appetite.

Sitting next to the baby-faced young man, was the tallest and strongest man sporting fierce looks. He frowned and stared at the quivering campfire, one could only wonder what he was thinking.

Opposite the two, the handsome man with the lunch box said something gently to the fair and handsome young man beside him, but the young man pushed him away impatiently.

“Come with me, Ah Mu.” Qin Yi stood up.

Mu Fei put down his lunch box and said to the other person, “Little Le, you should eat it quickly, it will not taste good when it’s cold.”

Walking along the river, Qin Yi did not stop until he reached a place where the two people by the campfire could not overhear them.

“You and Little Le…” Qin Yi’s words became tangled, “How did this relationship happen?”

It wasn’t a wonder Qin Yi couldn’t figure it out. At that time, among a group of children of the same age in the courtyard, they had the best relationship. Among them, although Jiang Sile and Mu Fei were closer, there was no sign of anything beyond brotherhood until Qin Yi had left.

“Do you remember Little Mu?” Mu Fei said something apparently unrelated.

Mu Mu, Mu Fei’s younger brother, was lost when he was three years old and never found him back.

“Little Mu was lost by me. I secretly took him out to play with him. I deceived everyone by saying that he had run out himself.” Mu Fei’s heart was full of yearning to disclose everything in his heart.

Although Qin Yi was surprised, he did not speak. He knew that Mu Fei just needed someone to listen to him. Qin Yi still remembered Mu Mu, who was fair and plump and was the treasure of Mu Fei’s family. Especially Mu Fei, with Mu Mu as a brother, every two sentences in the three sentences contained ‘my family’s Little Mu’.

“I never had a good sleep after Little Mu was lost.”

When Mu Mu was lost, Mu Fei was only six years old. This guilt almost destroyed the child who had not yet grown up.

“Later, Little Le’s family had moved in. You know, Little Le and Little Mu look very similar.”

Qin Yi was an active part of these events. So from the start, Qin Yi was not surprised that Mu Fei considered Jiang Sile as a treasured candy and held it in his hand for fear of falling into his mouth or fear of melting. He knew that Mu Fei poured all his feelings for Mu onto Jiang Sile.

Therefore, for Mu Fei and Jiang Sile to develop love, he found it even more inconceivable.

“What happened then?” Qin Yi asked.

Mu Fei smiled and said, “Little Le and Little Mu are not the same person after all. The more I recall the past, the clearer I realize this fact. But when taking care of a person becomes a habit, it’s very difficult to get rid of it.”

After Qin Yi had left the courtyard to join the army, among the three close-knit people, two were left. What’s more, their hearts were full of vitality and vigor of teenage, and spring sprouted amidst all the bloodshed.

“When I finally stopped viewing Xiao Le and Xiao Mu the same way, it happened to be the time when I was at the age where I finally learned what love was.” Spending days and nights together, taking good care of the other, eyes always staying on him, and realizing that this person was not his brother. Is it normal for this feeling to deteriorate in an instant? Mu Fei smiled again, but there was a little bitterness in his smile.

“Since you and Little Le are lovers, what about Pan Rongxi?”

“Rongxi and Little Mu were born in the same year. I know he is not Little Mu, but I always wonder if Little Mu was also picked up by such a family. Is he also suffering like this?” Mu Fei continued, “When I think about this, I can’t help paying more attention to him.”

Qin Yi knew the moment he heard that this man that had not yet come out of his guilt of losing his brother. He had been trapped in the past of losing his brother.

“You can tell Little Le frankly about it, and it won’t be that bad for Pan Rongxi.” Qin Yi still didn’t understand how the couple speaks. They never communicated directly. They always had to guess and guess.

“How dare I talk to Little Le about Little Mu? You don’t know his character. After that, I’m afraid it would become even more difficult.”

Qin Yi felt that he could not help anything with these things. He could not be sure that Mu Fei would not reveal to Jiang Sile about the devil in Jiang Sile. He had to say, “Ah Mu, you still have to think clearly about what is most important to yourself. Pan Rongxi is not Little Mu, even if you owe him, you don’t really owe him. Hurting Pan Rongxi and the person you love, it’s just not worth it.”

Qin Yi turned around and wanted to leave Mu Fei to think about it. But he also remembered another purpose of calling Mu Fei over.

“Ah Mu…” Qin Yi hesitated to say, “How did you find that your feelings for Little Le were different at that time?”

Mu Fei was perplexed, but did not think much: “When I was a teenager, I had a dream, in which the two of us were happy.”
