Under the streetlight, the man wore a gray suit jacket draped over his shoulders. Beneath it, his white shirt and tie were immaculate.

His features were handsome, refined, and aloof.

This time, he was standing—his long legs strong and steady.

The sense of pressure he gave off was even greater.

Su Yang’s expression changed. “Your legs…”

Could his sister have been deceived?

Yu Xiheng said nothing, only stepping forward.

Su Yang pressed his lips together and stepped aside.

Sensing someone approaching, Si Fuqing reached out again to swat the person away—but in the next second, her hand was caught.

Yu Xiheng lowered his voice. “Be good.”

Su Yang’s expression shifted slightly.

Si Fuqing was very strong—yet this man actually…

Only then did Yu Xiheng steadily pull her into his arms and give a slight nod. “Thank you.”

Su Yang watched as he lifted Si Fuqing onto his back and walked away at an unhurried pace.

Xu Xiyun finally ran back, only to see no one there. “Huh? Where’s Mentor Si?”

Su Yang was in a terrible mood. “She was taken away by a con artist.”

Xu Xiyun: “???”

**

Ahead, the streetlights gradually thinned out.

In her hazy state, Si Fuqing could only see a blurry silhouette. “Who are you?”

She reached out, grabbing at the man’s hair, then poked his face.

Her hand slipped lower and touched firm abs, and her expression suddenly froze.

That feeling…

Si Fuqing quickly withdrew her hand. “Boss, I didn’t mean to.”

Yu Xiheng didn’t slow his steps. “Awake?”

Her head bobbed drowsily as she muttered in distress, “Why are you carrying a carrot? Are you a big white rabbit?”

Yu Xiheng’s expression paused.

Clearly, she still wasn’t awake.

Recognizing someone by touch alone—impressive.

There weren’t many people on this road; the fans were all gathered near the front entrance.

Occasionally, passersby glanced over curiously, but the lighting was too dim to make out their faces.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Fuqing suddenly called out, “Boss.”

“Mm?”

“You’re so nice. Besides my sister, you’re the first person to carry me on your back. Why are you so nice?”

Yu Xiheng’s gaze remained calm. “You’re drunk.”

There were plenty of people who called him a tyrant. His hands were stained with even more blood.

He ended wars with war, and ended killing with killing.

He had never been a good person.

“You’re really nice, you really are. You’re even carrying me… Only my sister used to do that… but my sister is gone.” Si Fuqing’s voice grew softer and softer. She grabbed tightly onto his shirt and choked out in a small voice, “She’s gone…”

No one was left.

From now on, no one would bandage her wounds when she was hurt.

No one would teach her how to navigate the world.

No one would fight alongside her anymore.

Yu Xiheng’s expression shifted slightly. “Your sister?”

He trusted her, so he had never investigated her.

The Zuo family had only adopted her; they were not her biological parents.

But he was certain the “sister” she spoke of had nothing to do with the Zuo family.

Who was she? And when had she died?

“Mm, my sister.” Si Fuqing buried her face into his shoulder. “Tell me… how did someone so big… turn into such a small little box*…”

*In Chinese, people often avoid directly saying urn for ashes.

Tears streamed down, soaking into his clothes.

They were hot.

Yu Xiheng finally stopped walking.

Slowly turning around, he freed one hand, took a tissue from his suit pocket, and carefully wiped away the tears on her face.

“She’s gone… she died right in front of me.” As if trapped in a nightmare, Si Fuqing kept crying. “Everyone’s gone. They’re all gone…”

He could only continue wiping her tears.

After a long, long silence, Yu Xiheng finally sighed softly and said, “I’m here.”

There was no response.

The girl’s chin rested on his shoulder, her head completely drooping—she had fallen asleep.

Her breathing was steady, brushing lightly against his neck and bringing a faint tingling sensation.

Yu Xiheng’s brows drew together slightly.

He rarely saw her like this.

Fragile—like glass that would shatter at a single touch.

There was something unbearably fragile about her.

What exactly had she gone through?

His gaze lowered slightly as he continued forward.

By the time they reached the parking lot, Si Fuqing was still asleep, her profile gentle and soft.

But Yu Xiheng suddenly stopped again.

Urgent footsteps echoed.

In the dim parking lot lit by only a few streetlights, a group of burly men appeared, holding spiked clubs.

They were bodyguards sent by Xu Jingshan.

“That’s her!” the leading bodyguard glanced at the photo. “Chairman Xu’s orders—finish her off and dump the body into the sea.”

Lincheng was by the coast; that would be convenient.

But who was this man?

Her sugar daddy?

Before the lead bodyguard could speak again, Yu Xiheng turned around.

He adjusted the girl in his arms, shielding her behind him, then slowly lifted his eyes.

“Such audacity.”
