Yun Xi looked at the man in front of him who suddenly slapped his mouth and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The air that was still full in my chest just disappeared with the loud and harsh slap.

She looked at the slap mark on the other person's right cheek and touched Qin Mufeng's face distressedly: "Are you stupid? Does it hurt?"

Qin Mufeng put his hand on hers, smiled and shook his head: "I deserve this."

Yun Xi was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Qin Mufeng raised his hand and rubbed her head with a natural expression.

"Sorry for making you worry."

Yun Xi's eyes were soft, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to ask something but knew how to ask.

"Let's eat something first."

"……good."

As soon as Yun Xi finished responding, her stomach growled in response to the situation.

While Qin Mufeng was feeding Yunxi, he was thinking in his mind about how to explain clearly the questions about his life experience that he had heard from Qin Han.

After two days of settling down, he now thought about those unbelievable things. Although it was no longer as unacceptable as before, he still resisted that identity.

But reality is reality and will not change due to personal preferences and wishes.

Qin Mufeng couldn't explain how he felt about his nominal biological father.

As someone who has been in the upper reaches of the power field, he is well aware of the turbulent undercurrents inside, and also understands those things that are beyond one's control and those that have no choice but to do so.

Being in a different place, he can't guarantee that he will do better than that person.

Although everything is clear and understandable, there is still a trace of unwillingness in my heart.

He thought, maybe, he was unwilling for his mother.

Before Qin Mufeng could think of what to say to Yun Xi, he heard the sound of the death knell.

Yun Xi saw his hand trembling, and his body reacted faster than his brain.

She looked at the porridge bowl that almost slipped and breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to ask the other person what was going on, but when she turned her head, she saw a figure turning away in a hurry.

The death knell continued to ring, and Yun Xi, who was not sure why, began to retrieve the memories left by the original owner.

When the twenty-seven bells rang, Yun Xi's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly put on her shoes and went to find Qin Mufeng. However, her body was not up to par and she fell directly to the bedside as soon as she got out of bed. She was unable to do what she wanted to do.

She thumped the floor angrily and frowned in pain.

The sound of heavy and rapid footsteps came from far away. Before Yun Xi could even raise her head to look, the man's strong arms lifted her from the ground back to the bed.

"Xi'er, you have a good rest. I'll leave Qin Yi here. If anything happens, call him."

Yun Xi looked at his pale face and felt a tinge of pain in her heart. She tried her best to give him a reassuring smile: "I understand, you can go ahead and don't worry about me."

Qin Mufeng wanted to say something else, but Qin Han's slightly panicked urging came from outside the room.

Qin Mufeng swallowed what he was about to say, nodded to Yun Xi, turned around and left.

Yun Xi grabbed the hem of his clothes as he turned around and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute!"

Qin Mufeng turned back to look at her in confusion.

"Put the jade on."

"……good."

Looking at the door that was closed again, she said belatedly: "Be careful."

Looking at the empty room, she felt inexplicably panicked, which made her start to think about things uncontrollably.

In order to prevent herself from being dominated by unknown fear, she directly called Qin Yi.

"Qin Yi, did you hear the bell just sounded?"

Qin Yiyi nodded, his face also solemn.

Twenty-seven bells were tolled, the best form of national mourning. Not only them, but also the entire people of Lijing City heard it.

I still remember that the last time I heard a death knell of the same size was when the Queen passed away.
