Chapter 68

  As for Li Jin, the current floating life is half a day of leisure time, so after eating breakfast, he proposed to bid farewell. Li Yi Heng thought for a moment, using the excuse that there was no food at home, saying that he wanted to send him down the mountain and find something to eat along the way. This excuse was too childish, Li Jin knew that he didn't trust himself, so he didn't expose it, and after persuading him a few times without success, he had no choice but to let him put on his clothes and go out.

  Outside, it had snowed all night, and the road was knee-deep in snow. The courtyard was still okay, probably someone got up early to sweep it, leaving only a thin layer of snowflakes. Li Jin knew that Li Yi Heng couldn't possibly dismiss all the servants, otherwise who would have lit the warm fire on such a cold night?

  Two people drove out of the yard, and the mountain road was very difficult to walk on, they could only slow down constantly. Li Jin took out his mobile phone, it was already 8:40 in the morning, but there were no signals. He had a vague bad premonition, after all, since he became Luo Fei's agent, which day did he have less than 20 calls? Such a night of losing contact with the outside world was enough to make many things happen, it really made him nervous and frightened.

  The car drove to the middle of the mountain, and the mobile phone signal finally had a bar. He tried to dial out, but it was still a long blank silence. Li Yiheng saw that he was really restless, and reminded him: "We should be able to receive radio broadcasts here."

  Li Jin hurriedly reached out to press the button on the car radio, but unexpectedly, Li Yi Heng also stretched out his hand at the same time. The two fingers touched, and the slightly forceful fingertips collided with each other, as if they were holding onto an invisible silver thread, causing Li Jin's arm and finger pads to feel numb.

  Those memories that had been forgotten due to a topsy-turvy soul suddenly all returned to his mind with this touch.

  Li Jin seemed to have his hand scorched by fire and quickly withdrew it, but someone was faster than him.

  The outstretched fingers were wrapped in a large and warm palm, and gradually the whole hand was gently grasped.

  He used his neatly trimmed fingernails to scratch the palm of his hand, tracing the clear veins along his fingerprints with a carefree air.

  Li Jin involuntarily raised his head to look at him. Even though the mountain road was difficult to navigate, Li Yi Heng drove without showing any signs of panic. He even dared to use one hand to tease himself.

  Thinking carefully, they have known each other for ten years, and Li Yiheng has rarely had a big emotional ups and downs, most of the time, he just has this light expression.

  His only loss of control was due to Ke Yuan's death.

  "What am I doing?" Li Yiheng suddenly turned his head and glanced at him, smiling, "If you look at me like that, I'll get distracted."

  Li Jing's eyes darted away, as if she had suddenly become interested in the mountain wall beside her. After a while, she asked softly, "What did you mean by saying I looked familiar last night?"

  Li Yiheng's movements paused for a moment, and he forced a smile: "Nothing." He hesitated for a moment, his smile tinged with melancholy. "Li Jin, I slept extremely soundly last night. Since Ke Yuan's passing, it's been a long time since I've slept like that, sleeping all the way through till dawn..."

  "Why?" asked Lijin.

  "I don't know." In front of him was a relatively flat mountain road, Li Yiheng lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car slightly accelerated on the snowy ground. His voice mixed with the sound of the tires crushing the snow, somewhat distant and fleeting. "After Ke Yuan's death, for a very long time, I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, it seemed like I could see him lying in front of me, covered in blood, asking me why I didn't tell him about Shu Mu's conspiracy earlier, asking me why I was angry with him and let him die such a miserable death."

  "It's not your fault," said Li Jin. "You didn't know that Shu Mu wanted to kill him, and things would turn out like this. You also didn't anticipate it."

  Li Yiheng smiled faintly: "Last night... I thought it was the effect of alcohol." He quietly brought the topic back, "I thought it was because I drank wine that I had a good sleep. But just now I realized, it wasn't because of the wine, but because of you. When you're by my side, I have a very special feeling, like... Ke Yuan is still by my side, he hasn't left me, and won't appear in my dreams, covered in blood, accusing me. So Li Jin, I'm confused, I don't understand why I have this feeling..."

  Li Jin secretly swallowed his saliva.

  "I don't understand either." He asked, "Are you saying I'm like Ke Yuan?"

  Li Yiheng turned his head, and for two or three seconds, Li Jin felt that he seemed to be scrutinizing himself.

  "You look like him, but not quite. He's a bit more foolish and stubborn than you are. You..." Li Yi Heng suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, seemingly surprised that he was seriously comparing them, "Regardless of whether you look like him or not, you're not him, are you?"

  So you can be so frank with me about your feelings?

  Because I'm not him, so you don't even have the interest in finding a substitute like him, right?

  Li Jin closed his eyes, threw back his head and leaned back in his chair with a helpless air.

  But I am him.

  He said in his heart.

  I am Ke Yuan.

  I am still alive.

  I am not dead.

  A surge of inexplicable anger suddenly welled up inside him, and he abruptly opened his eyes, stiffly straightening his body.

  "Li Yiheng, I..."

  “… Luo Fei's father is a local underground organization, also known as the "black society" leader. The news has not been fully confirmed yet, but according to informed sources, the credibility of this message is extremely high. Currently, the entertainment company including Luo Fei's agent has not made any response…”

  Li's hand suddenly withdrew from Li Yi Heng's palm.

  After turning around a mountain wall, the car's broadcasting system finally emitted a sound with a hoarse voice.
