Although my blood may have some benefits for you, you shouldn't drink too much; it could have side effects, after all, you're just an ordinary human.
"What are you then? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I just want to know what Yun Zhi Yue is," Nie Xi asked.
Yun Yue Shi shook her head. "Right now, we can only be humans. I can't explain it clearly to you. I saved you in hopes that you can find your own support to help Sister Revenge."
"You must have blood relatives. With your fate, your family can't be simple. There are many questions about how Nie Zhui found you; you need to find out your origins."
Thinking that Nie Xi would ask something more, she instead said, "Is there food? I'm hungry."
Yun Yue Shi:
Around half past six, Yun Zhi Yue got off work and returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she was pounced on by Nie Xi.
Like a pet, he rubbed against her neck. "Sister, I miss you so much—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly looked up. "Sister, you smell a lot like Nie Zhui."
Yue Shi, who was fiddling with the plant labels nearby, paused for a moment but quickly returned to normal as if she hadn't heard anything.
Yun Zhi Yue wanted to roll her eyes. Was he a dog? Or could he also smell the mandrake scent?
It was impossible to admit it.
She slapped his head lightly. "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't see him today. By the way, why is it so quiet today? Where's Shijiu?"
Her good brother Yue Shi casually replied, "Shijiu is working overtime at the company. He said he's been sleeping outside these past few days; he probably has a new fling. Don't worry about him."
Yun Zhi Yue twitched her lips. If she didn't know he was still stuck in the station, she might have believed her good brother's words.
But brothers were meant to be pampered; she could only pretend not to know.
After a tiring day, she gently stroked Nie Xi's cheek and went upstairs to take a shower.
Surprisingly, Nie Xi didn't follow her but wandered alone in the yard that resembled a ghostly vegetable garden. The plants there weren't flowers or herbs; they were strange plants he had never seen before.
After wandering around, he stood in the shadows, gazing blankly at the third floor.
The dark emotions surging in his eyes ultimately shattered the indifference towards life and ignited a black flame within him.
He took out his phone and dialed a number. It rang once before being answered immediately by a strong voice of an elderly man.
"Xiao Xi, how's your health? Is that Yun Family Sister Three brother really as extraordinary as the expert said? Is there hope for your illness?"
With a hint of warmth in his tone, Nie Xi replied, "Grandpa, what that person said is true; Yun Family Sister Three brother is not an ordinary person. My illness can be cured."
On the other end of the phone, the old man was overwhelmed with emotion, his voice choked with tears.
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful! Your parents can find some comfort in the afterlife. They named you Cheng Moxi because they hoped you would live well. I’m so sorry, my dear, for losing you for so long."
Nie Xi replied calmly, "This has nothing to do with you, Grandpa. Back then, my parents could never have imagined that those people would be so bold as to directly attack someone as high-ranking as General Lu Ming."
"I was found by Nie Zhui, and this matter is definitely not simple. In the past, I was unable to live and had no heart for anything else. Now that I have a chance at life, I won’t let it go to waste."
"Grandpa, you are in a position that many are watching. It’s inconvenient for me to act as part of the Cheng Family, so I will continue as Nie Xi, working from the shadows to investigate my parents' deaths and whether Nie Zhui had any involvement."
The old man suppressed his emotions with great effort. "Alright, Grandpa will fully cooperate with you. At my age, there’s nothing that can’t be sacrificed. Even if it costs me my life, I will ensure your safety!"
