The girl's clear voice and familiar figure brought his memories back to a few years ago. Those brief days seemed short in his twenty-something years of life, yet the memories left behind were so profound.
If it weren't for this intense feeling that broke through the barriers of his heart, perhaps due to the passage of time and the lack of encounters after their separation, those memories would have remained buried deep within him.
But upon meeting here, those suppressed feelings erupted uncontrollably.
The man furrowed his brows, using his strong willpower to suppress emotions he thought were difficult to control. This was the first time since reaching adulthood that he couldn't manage himself.
The hatred that sustained him through hardships and served as his motivation for growth made him immune to emotions; he had no weaknesses. Only by being this way could he carve out a bloody path in the chaos.
After a moment, his expression returned to normal. He closed the window and strolled out of the restaurant, crossing the street.
A hint of a rogue charm appeared on his otherwise cold face as he approached Liu Qingxi and her group.
The girl, immersed in the street-side amusements, wore a bright smile on her face. Her innocent demeanor was like that of a child, completely different from her usual composed and dignified self.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared before her, blocking the sunlight and capturing her attention.
The girl looked up abruptly and saw a sharply defined face with deep-set eyes and a rogue smile: "Uh..."
A wave of familiarity hit her, and Liu Qingxi felt increasingly that this person looked familiar.
At that moment, a boy beside her suddenly blocked Liu Qingxi's line of sight: "Du Young Master, long time no see!"
Hearing Yang Yichen's words, Liu Qingxi suddenly realized why this person seemed so familiar; he was the one who saved her a few years ago in Linyi County. After he left without saying goodbye, she gradually forgot about it over time.
Who would have thought they would run into each other on the streets of the capital two years later?
Yang Yichen recognized this person immediately for two reasons: they had collaborated before, and this person had been his greatest rival for such a long time.
"Ha, Young Master Yang! It's been years; what a pleasure!" Dugu Hao greeted Yang Yichen with a smile while occasionally glancing at Liu Qingxi.
In front of Yang Yichen, with his original appearance and identity, he was just a cold-faced and aloof person.
However, if he appeared as Master Du, he would be seen as cunning, deliberately sowing discord between Yang Yichen and Liu Qingxi.
The more possessive Yang Yichen became in front of him, the more Dugu Hao wanted to stir up trouble.
" Miss Liu, it's been years since we last met, and you’ve become even more beautiful. I still haven’t properly thanked you for saving my life last time. If you encounter any difficulties in the capital, feel free to come to me. I live at..."
Dugu Hao provided his address. "I still have some connections in the capital. If you run into trouble, I will definitely help you out."
He took a couple of steps, deliberately avoiding Yang Yichen to approach Liu Qingxi. Seeing the young man getting jealous to the point of madness brought him joy.
In front of Liu Qingxi, he felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, not knowing where this feeling came from.
Yang Yichen moved closer step by step. Whenever Dugu Hao got near Liu Qingxi, he would push him away. "Du Young Master, don’t you have anything else to do? Xier and I are just going for a stroll."
The implication was clear: go somewhere cool and leave us alone.
However, Dugu Hao pretended not to understand. " Miss Liu, it’s been two years since we last met. Even here in the capital, I’ve heard a lot about you. Truly a remarkable woman."
"Actually, back at Ten Li Pu two years ago, I could tell you were extraordinary. I didn’t expect that in just two years, you would already be in the capital. How about this? As your host, let me treat you to a meal."
"Stop wandering around these stalls; let me take you to some well-known shops ahead. I can introduce them to you."
Yang Yichen stood aside, unable to interject, feeling a heavy sense of crisis that was exactly like two years ago but even more intense.
Nearby, the Wen Family was oblivious to what was happening. They didn’t know when Liu Qingxi had met someone from the capital since they had only just arrived.
But seeing their son’s anxious expression and that furious look on his face reminded them of when he was younger and would come to complain about things.
After a while, watching that man cling to Liu Qingxi and refusing to leave made her worry for her son. What if his future wife was being pursued by someone else?
In response to Yang Yichen's expectant gaze, the Wen Family slowly approached and took Liu Qingxi's hand. "Xier, who is this young master? I don’t think we’ve met before?"
Just as Liu Qingxi was about to explain, Dugu Hao chimed in. "Auntie, nice to meet you! Please take care of me from now on. Miss Liu and I have known each other for two years; she was my lifesaver back then."
Dugu Hao seemed intent on establishing his presence in front of Liu Qingxi, continuously bringing up events from two years ago—every little detail—even things that hadn’t happened could be twisted into stories.
Yang Yichen's face alternated between pale and flushed; he had always found him annoying, and now he found him even more so.
If he knew that the talkative Master Du and Dugu Hao were the same person, he couldn't imagine what his expression would be.
Dugu Hao had hidden his two sides so well that Yang Yichen never considered this possibility.
Dugu Hao was inherently cold and emotionless, just like when he first met Liu Qingxi after being rescued. However, after spending some time together, he gradually changed, though he didn't understand why.
Especially now, two years later, he still displayed two completely different sides.
If his subordinates saw him now, looking like a rogue, they would probably be shocked.
During the conversation with the Wen Family, they expressed some confusion: "I lived in the Village two years ago too. How come I never saw you?"
"Aunt, it's like this. At that time, I was seriously injured due to an enemy's actions. For my own safety, I had to hide away. Fortunately, I met Qingxi; otherwise, I would have died on the streets. So I stayed hidden and never left the courtyard."
"Oh!" The Wen Family nodded in understanding. Then they thought of an important question: Liu Qingxi was a single Young Lady; wasn't it inappropriate for her to save a man and have him stay in her home?
But upon reflection, they realized they had already sent two maidservants to her, so there was no awkward situation of a man and woman alone together.
"However, from the way you speak, it seems like you know Yichan!"
