Lin Xi looked in the direction she had just returned in in in a daze, listening to the waves of comforting voices around him.

Every minute of waiting seemed to be stretched infinitely. Lin Xi felt that she was going to collapse the moment her nervousness was stretched out and she couldn't even see her lover.

What Hu Yuefei? As long as Qin Yu returned safely, even if her death couldn't be exposed to the public, even if Lin Qian and Qiao Mingyu were to get away scot-free, she would still accept it.

Lin Xi heaved a sigh of relief with great difficulty. Just when she was about to lose her breath from worry, the bodyguards finally brought Qin Yu back!

Other than his hair being a little messy, Qin Yu did not seem to be injured at all.

Only then did Lin Xi relax. When Qin Yu walked through the crowd towards her, she allowed herself to laugh and cry.

In fact, Lin Xi felt that it had been a century since they last waited. In fact, it had only been a short twenty odd minutes.

The sniper was not caught, but fortunately no one was injured either, except for Lin Xi who had a cut on her face.

Qin Yu left his two bodyguards there to wait, after which he talked with the police and brought Lin Xi and the other bodyguards directly back to Z City by helicopter.

Before he left, Qin Yu suddenly threw something to the executive director.

The executive director caught it and took a look. It turned out to be a treasure box!

Executive Director: "..." Very good, even when being hunted down, you still remember to look for treasures.

Moreover, Qin Yu only spent half a day to find the treasure this time around, and had successfully broken Bai Nianxi's previous record. What a good couple they were!

The wound on Lin Xi's face was not deep. While waiting for Qin Yu, he had already been treated by the program team. But Qin Yu was still worried. After returning to Z City, he took her to the hospital to bandage her wound again and again. Only after the doctor assured him that he would definitely not leave a scar, did he bring her home.

Qin Yu walked her all the way to the bedroom, and said: "I still have to go out for a while, but I have left bodyguards at home, you should take a good rest first."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Xi: "I have something to ask you."

After experiencing that previous life and death battle, it was as if a ball of fire was stuffed into Lin Xi's heart. She had to spit this ball of fire out, or else she would be burnt into ashes.

"Why did you tell the bodyguards that if anything happened to you, they could only trust Yao Jing and me?" Lin Xi walked in front of Qin Yu, mustered up the courage to look him in the eye, and asked the question that he had been wanting to ask the entire time: "Do you like me?"

Qin Yu lowered his head slightly and looked at the pair of eyes in front of him.

Her pure black pupils seemed to be filled with starlight, it was exactly the same as what he had imagined would happen with Lin Xi's eyes.

To be exact, when Lin Xi was still alive, he had never looked at Lin Xi like this before.

Back then in Provence, because of Lin Xi's sickness in her eyes, he had not been able to see her opening her eyes even when she had returned to her country. After that, he had returned home as well, and now that Lin Xi was already by her side, it was even more impossible for him to look her in the eye at such a close distance.

Qin Yu stared at Bai Nianxi.

Her eyes were full of hope as she looked at him. There was still a teardrop hanging from the corner of her eye, making others face her, unable to say any words of rejection.

When Bai Nianxi was on the hunt for a treasure, she asked him something that echoed in her ears, "During your time in Provence, it should have been enough for you to understand her personality. Do you really think that Hu Yuefei is the Lin Xi that you remember?"

At that time, Qin Yu really wanted to answer her, as he remembered her different from the Lin Xi from his memories, not only was her personality different, even she had the same appearance as Lin Xi that everyone knew. Other than the first time he saw her, he was confused for a moment, but he quickly recognized the difference between the two of them.

In terms of facial features, Hu Yuefei and Lin Xi looked exactly the same, but compared to their expressions and expressions, no matter if it was the frown on their brows when crying or the curve of their lips when smiling, they were all different.

What Bai Nianxi said was right, the days spent in Provence were enough for Qin Yu to thoroughly understand Lin Xi from the inside out. He was clear about her every movement and smile, as well as her personality and preferences. Even if Lin Xi hadn't told him anything, he had investigated her in private.

Therefore, from the day he saw Hu Yuefei, he knew that she wasn't Lin Xi, but merely someone who coincidentally had the same facial features as Lin Xi.

But she suddenly appeared in front of him, and had made sufficient preparations, causing Qin Yu to have no choice but to be cautious of the people who planned all of this behind her back.

That was why he followed the flow and pretended to believe Hu Yuefei's words. He wanted to cooperate with her acting so that he could take advantage of the situation to uncover the person behind her so that he wouldn't get into trouble later on.

This was Qin Yu's original plan, but he did not anticipate this variable called Bai Nianxi.

On the night that he brought Hu Yuefei home, Bai Nianxi actually told him that she was Lin Xi. She died, but was reborn in Bai Nianxi's body.

Since he was young, Qin Yu had never believed in these strange and disorderly things, but he didn't know why after he finished listening to Bai Nianxi's words, other than being shocked, he also felt a faint sense of enlightenment.

Why couldn't he previously resist getting close to Bai Nianxi? And why was it that he could always see Lin Xi's figure in her? All of these questions seemed to have an answer to them.

Although reason repeatedly reminded him that this could also be a scam aimed at him, he still couldn't help but get closer to Bai Nianxi and search for something similar to him from her body.

More and more similarities, the closer and the more familiar it felt, it finally made him abandon the faith he had believed for the past thirty years — He believed in Bai Nianxi's words, believed in the unimaginable matter of rebirth, believed that the person he had once begged for, had finally returned to his side in another way.

But he still could not recognize Bai Nianxi. The more he investigated Hu Yuefei, the more he realized that she had such a bomb behind her back that kept her by her side. Qin Yu did not dare to reveal Bai Nianxi's identity in front of her.

Since the person behind Hu Yuefei had pushed Hu Yuefei in front of him, then she must know that Lin Xi was her weak spot.

Qin Yu had no way of finding out who the person behind Hu Yuefei was, he was only knowing that he was smarter than Yang En back then. If Bai Nianxi was really kidnapped, even Qin Yu himself wasn't sure if he could save the whole person once again.

That was why he kept pushing Bai Nianxi away, pretending not to care about her. In order to prevent Hu Yuefei from detecting any clues, and in order to gain Hu Yuefei's trust, he had even made her feel wronged time and time again.

Qin Yu felt that everything he had done was to protect her, and he was right until the matter of Xu Yaxin and Wen Chuan appeared.

Bai Nianxi said that even if Wen Chuan and Xu Yaxin were to reconcile, the two would not return to how they were in the past.

Hearing these words, Qin Yu was shocked. He had a feeling that his and Lin Xi's future might also become like Wen Chuan's and Xu Yaxin's. Therefore, he suddenly wavered and hesitated. This was also why he decided to replace Hu Yuefei when he mentioned that he wanted to quit < 48 hours in the wilderness >.

He wanted to be nicer to Bai Nianxi, and even considered if he should tell her his plan.

To tell her that he didn't recognize her and was not bewitched by Hu Yuefei's beauty was just because he wanted to protect her. Since the heavens had sent her back to him, he didn't want to part ways with her this time.

However, just before he opened his mouth, he suddenly hesitated again. After that, the shooting incident even made him feel lucky that he hesitated this time around.

Bai Nianxi asked him if he liked her or not. Four years ago, when he met her in Provence, he had given her all his love and could never take it back.

As for why he had warned his bodyguard repeatedly, that he could only trust and obey Yao Jing and his arrangements should something happen to him, was to prevent Hu Yuefei from getting into trouble.

He had already anticipated the worst case scenario. If his plan failed, not only would he be unable to catch the person backing Hu Yuefei, he might even be pushed into a trap by the other party. At that time, he was afraid that Hu Yuefei would take advantage of her misfortune to use her relationship with her to injure Qin’s and Bai Nianxi, so he took precautions.

But what he didn't expect was that the other side would be so arrogant as to blatantly commit murder in the recording of "48 Hours in the Wild" program. He felt that he didn't reveal any flaws in front of Hu Yuefei, and Hu Yuefei still hadn't found what she wanted from her hands. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be in such a hurry to make a move against him.

However, no matter what, today's hunt showed that he was in an extremely precarious situation. The enemy in the shadows was even harder to deal with than he had expected. Now was not the time to recognize Lin Xi.

He would rather push Bai Nianxi aside and make her hate him, than for something to happen to her again.

Bai Nianxi was much stronger and smarter than Xu Yaxin. He believed that even without him, she would still be able to live a good life.

Qin Yu regained his senses as he thought about it and replied, "I admit that I have a slight good impression of you, but compared to Hu Yuefei, this kind of good impression is not worth mentioning. As for why I gave the order to the bodyguard — that should have been a long time ago. I don't even remember the reason myself, but I'm sure that Yue Fei wasn't by my side at that time. "

Lin Xi did not hold back and blinked her eyes once. The tears that were in the corner of her eyes started to fall in the blink of an eye, and she did not give up as she asked: "If that's the case, why do you not dare to look me in the eyes and answer?"

Qin Yu covered his heart and looked at Lin Xi: "I can't look at your eyes, so I'll answer the same thing."

Lin Xi felt that she had probably gone mad, when she looked into Qin Yu's eyes, she actually saw something similar to helplessness and heartache within the coldness …

After Qin Yu finished his answer, he turned around and left without hesitation. Lin Xi laughed bitterly and laid back on the bed.

Perhaps it was because Qin Yu did not hold much hope in the first place, or maybe it was because of that absent-minded and illusory gaze that appeared in his eyes just now. Even though Lin Xi was rejected again, he did not feel too sad about it.
