After searching for a while, Song Yuanyan found an unmarked grave. He bent down to touch the soil and found that it was moist.
This should be it!
Song Yuanyan quickly picked up the hoe and began digging up the newly filled grave, until the coffin lid was finally exposed. To his surprise, there was a yellow talisman on the top of the coffin lid.
“Master Xie was really frightened ah,” Song Yuanyan tore the talisman off. “But the servants sure slacked off. They didn’t even nail the coffin close.”
He Yanyin laughed, “They probably ran off because they were scared. Less work for us.”
Although Song Yuanyan knew that Xu Qichen had faked his death, he still felt uncomfortable when he opened the coffin. He lightly carried Xu Qichen out of the cold coffin, laid him flat on the ground as He Yanyin instructed. When he touched his cold face, he felt an inevitable ache in his chest.
He Yanyin opened the first aid kid and immediately began rescuing Xu Qichen.
Lin Nianzhi was afraid to look. She subconsciously stood behind Song Yuanyan and mumbled, “He’ll be fine, right? I’m so scared…”
Song Yuanyan was even more afraid, but he could only place his faith in He Yanyin.
He Yanyin put both hands on his chest and began performing CPR. “Song Yuanyan, quick, help me. Hold his jaw and blow into his mouth.”
This was the first time Lin Nianzhi saw two men mouth to mouth. Even though she knew it was a rescue, she couldn’t help but blush and turn her head to one side, only to see the fruit offering in front of the tombstone on the opposite side, fall down and roll onto the ground. She was so frightened that she quickly squatted down and pressed against He Yanyin.
Then she heard a squeak.
So it was just a mouse…
He Yanyin put her ear against Xu Qichen’s chest, “His heart beat is coming back!”
Lin Nianzhi asked, “Was it not beating before?”
He Yanyin shook her head, “It didn’t stop completely, just became so weak that it could only be detected with a stethoscope, that’s how we fooled them. I gave him a central nervous system inhibitor. There have been cases of false death caused by mistakenly taking such drugs in foreign countries, so I dared to do this.”
Song Yuanyan stopped the rescue breathing, and was about to reach out to check his breath, when Xu Qichen suddenly choked and coughed a few times.
Lin Nianzhi was so surprised that she fell down, “He, he, he’s awake!”
“Soon,” He Yanyin checked his pulse. “Song Yuanyan, bury the coffin quickly, then we should go back in the car. It’s too cold here.”

The sound of a violent crash that even now still echoed in his ears, was ten thousand times harsher than the sound of fingernails running across the blackboard.
He was covered in blood and being pushed into the hospital. The pain paralyzed his auditory and optic nerves, and everything around him was so cloudy and fuzzy. He vaguely felt that his body was lying weakly on the cold operating table, and the light of the shadowless lamp unscrupulously penetrated my pupils, leaving a deep blank in my mind.
His mind was a mess.
Weren’t they supposed to go on a holiday together?
Why was he here?
[Mom, I want to sit in front today. The view is better there.]
[Of course. Don’t forget your seatbelt.]
Why was he here…?
What happened?
[You parents both died in the crash.]
[Fortunately, the air bag saved you.]
Why was he the only one who survived?
“Wake up!”
A familiar voice appeared, grabbing his hand before he fell into the abyss.
He opened his eyes suddenly.
And saw Song Yuanyan, who pulled him into his arms and patted his back gently like he was a child who had just awakened from a nightmare, “I’m so glad, you’re finally awake. You said so many strange things in your dream.”
Xu Qichen caught his breath, sat in a daze for a while, and asked dumbly, “How long have I been dead?”
“What do you mean, dead? Why would you say that the moment you woke up?” Song Yuanyan frowned. “I was so afraid you’d never wake up again.”
Xu Qichen pursed his lips and smiled, reached out and touched Song Yuanyan’s face, but did not speak.
“Just lean back and take a rest. I have to continue driving, we have to reach the pier before 9 o’clock.”
Xu Qichen nodded. After a while, he asked, “What about Miss He?”
Song Yuanyan started the car again, “She brought Lin Nianzhi home. They snuck out, so someone might suspect something if they didn’t go back soon. Mother wanted to see me off, but I told her I had an appointment and would be staying out for the night.”
Remembering what he had arranged before taking the medicine, Xu Qichen asked, “Have you inquired about the Xie family?”
“There is no news from the Xie family. It must have been blocked by Master Xie, and everything that should be handled, is being handled in secret. He’s really superstitious. Did you know? When I dug out the grave, there was even a yellow talisman on the coffin.”
Hearing Song Yuanyan joke, Xu Qichen thought it was natural, “He is a businessman, he is old, so he is naturally most afraid of these evil rumors, not to mention that my reputation in Jiangqu has always been linked to evil spirits for so many years. He pretended not to care, but he always had doubts in his heart. Plus, I am just an illegitimate child. If it wasn’t for the inheritance of blood, he would look down on me.” Xu Qichen smiled, “Now that I have died unexpectedly, he is even more afraid that this bad luck was what had cut off the Xie family’s financial line, I guess, he will never disclose the news of my death in the short term, and might even find an excuse to go abroad to cover up my disappearance.”
Song Yuanyan teased, “You sure thought this through.”
“I was also forced to this point.” Xu Qichen, who had just recovered a little, was weak and could only lazily lean on the seat, and his voice also lacked strength.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.
0901: “Mr. Xu, why did you choose to throw the blame of your death on Liu Mingde?”
Talking to 0901 inwardly, on the other hand, did not require much strength.
Xu Qichen explained, “I was going to die anyway. Since the original plot didn’t give a clear candidate for the murderer, it could have been anyone. Instead of passively guessing who the murderer is and then protect myself accordingly, it’s better to choose the most easily defeated villain, and force him to take the blame.”
“Furthermore, the mother and son pair truly killed people in the first place. Xie Rujun’s death was caused by them alone, so it’s not unfair to ask him to pay for his life. Although Song Yuanfeng is not a good person, I remember that his life was not long. After Song Yuanyan went abroad, he died of illness in a few years as well, so there is no need for me to take risks to deal with him.”
0901 expressed his agreement and went offline.
Somehow, 0901 seemed like a very busy AI.
Xu Qichen felt sleepy, so he fell asleep with his head tilted. When he woke up, it was still dark, but they had arrived at their destination. Song Yuanyan parked the car at the pier. When he went to open the door of the back seat, he saw Xu Qichen, who had just woken up, sitting there dazedly and cutely, like a small animal.
The two men, wrapped in scarves and hats, boarded the boat with their luggage. On the first day of the new year, there were not many people on board, and even the cruise ships that usually ran three times a day, only had one trip in the early morning. The winter wind mixed with the smell of sea water, felt cool and tingling on the eyelids.
A misty morning mist rose from the sea, wrapping the two of them in it. Song Yuanyan wanted Xu Qichen to have a good rest, but he refused.
“I want to stand on the deck and watch the sunrise.”
The two of them stood just like that, shoulder to shoulder, watching the dark blue sky gradually whiten, like a watercolor painting. They didn’t know how long they watched silently like this, before the red sun that they were looking forward to appeared from the distant sea level, and the light pierced the fog.
Xu Qichen, who was leaning on the railing, turned his face sideways, slightly lowered the scarf covering half of his face, and said to Song Yuanyan who was still looking at the sea, “Happy new year.”
Song Yuanyan looked at him, saw Xu Qichen bury his face back into his thick scarf, and pinched his face impulsively, “Happy birthday.”
“En?” Xu Qichen made a questioning sound.
Song Yuanyan leant against the railing too, “You died and revived, right? So this is your birhtday from now on.”
“En.” Xu Qichen glanced at him, then lowered his head to watch the waves on the sea, “From now on, you’re my only family.”
His voice was diluted by the thick morning mist, as it floated softly into Song Yuanya’’s ear, and exploded like silent fireworks.
There were some people on the deck, but Song Yuanyan boldly took Xu Qichen’s hand, calmly lifted it, and lightly kissed the ring finger.
“Leave this spot for me.”
The full light of the morning sun flowed wantonly on his face, illuminating his smile brightly, as well as those pair of canine teeth that always poked at Xu Qichen’s heart.
The throbbing in his heart was like the waves of the ocean, coming one after another relentlessly.
“I’m hungry.” Xu Qichen withdrew his hand and stretched, “Wanna eat something.”
“What do you want to eat? Let’s check out the dining room?”
Xu Qichen’s eyes met his, and he said in a casual tone, “Dumplings.”
After he finished speaking, he saw that Song Yuanyan had put his hands in his pockets, and there didn’t seem to be any unnatural expressions on his face. He simply said, “I don’t know if there are any, let’s take a look.”
