Xia Xianning’s peripheral vision casually swept over, and his already moving feet suddenly stopped. He paused for a moment, bent down to pick up the straw figure, and examined it. His usually calm eyes suddenly flickered with a barely perceptible hint of joy, but then remembering that past event, his happiness was mixed with a touch of bittersweet sentiment.
Female officer Yue Ling stood nearby, unable to see Xia Xianning’s expression, and asked, “What is this? Captain, should we take it back for research?”
Xia Xianning came back to his senses, noncommittal, gently brushing off the dust from the straw figure and carefully placing it in his pocket. He said softly, “Let’s go back.”
Luo Yingbai didn’t know what had happened, so he curiously opened Weibo and found that someone had @ed him again. In such a short time since his rebirth, he had been driven almost neurotic by those bizarre red characters. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.
Other people who were reborn got to slap faces and take revenge for themselves, so why did he feel like he was just making others happy?
Luo Yingbai clicked open the message and was surprised to see the ID “First Young Master of this City” popping up again. This time, the guy wasn’t picking a fight, but had published a long headline article –
《Remembering an Unforgettable Car Accident – The Year a Master Repaid Kindness with Virtue》
Luo Yingbai started reading: “…The grace of saving my life is as heavy as being born again by my parents. When I realized I was still alive, I was incredibly excited, and immediately slapped my companion’s thigh with all my might, deciding to serve the master like a father in the future. But then I thought, wait, that’s not right, that would be incest!!!”
Luo Yingbai: “…”
The two characters “incest” and the three exclamation marks at the end struck his fragile heart, causing him to nervously recall his own and his father’s life history for five seconds.
He almost didn’t dare to continue reading, but curiosity gave him courage. He scrolled down and saw the following:
“…In the previous bet, I’ve already acknowledged the master as my grandfather, so I can’t acknowledge him as my father. But no matter what identity, just being the master’s relative is enough.”
