Outside the door, Bai Qi went to the residence arranged for him by Si Jinyan.
During this period of time on the island, there will be Si Jinyan people who will take care of or guard them.
When he finally arrived in an empty room, the attendant beside him finally couldn't help but ask Bai Qi: "Will he do as we say?"
"He" refers to Chi Li.
Bai Qi was lying in a chair near the floor-to-ceiling window. The dusk light fell on him. He lowered his eyes and looked at a book. His eyelashes trembled slightly when he heard this, "A person who has been involved in the whirlpool of fate..."
He whispered, "There is no chance to choose, and I am just trying my best to push the wheel of fate forward a little faster."
The attendant did not receive a "yes" or "no" answer from Bai Qi. After hearing this, he looked at Bai Qi in confusion, and finally nodded vigorously. "Well! No matter what, Mr. Bai can definitely do it."
I got a soft laugh from Bai Qi.
The attendant hummed a light tune to prepare bath supplies for Bai Qi. This was one of the few opportunities for him to travel far away with Mr. Bai.
The attendant is still relatively young, and he rarely travels far. He is still slightly excited.
While he was preparing, he was recalling what Bai Qi just said.
Bai Qi is playing a game of chess.
No matter what, he knew that Mr. Bai would definitely be the final winner.

At dinner, Si Jinyan and Chi Li sat together at the dining table. This was the first time since their confrontation - five days since they sat together peacefully.
Chi Li raised his head and glanced at Si Jinyan, then calmly lowered his eyes to eat.
In a place where Chi Li cannot see, the fish tail taps lightly on the plush carpet. The slight movement is hidden by the soft blanket, and the anxiety is covered up like a silencer.
After a long silence, Si Jinyan said, "Chi Li."
Chi Li heard this and looked up at Si Jinyan, waiting silently for Si Jinyan to continue speaking.
However, before Si Jinyan could speak, Chi Li frowned slightly. "What?"
Chi Li's sudden hesitation in the afternoon made Si Jinyan feel like he saw some kind of hope and his heart was beating fast.
But now, in a situation where mistakes are made again and again, any slight move will become a small but hard gravel, rubbing into the wound of Chi Li. The boundary erected by Chi Li will be guarded and guarded, and Si Jinyan will not be allowed to cross it again.
Unless Chi Li takes the initiative to put down his guard.
Under the gaze of Chi Li, in the end, Si Jinyan just said, "It was my fault before. If you need me in the future, I will help you and do whatever you want to do."
Si Jinyan's eyes were deep and serious, Chi Li's heart suddenly tightened.
Chi Li lowered his head, suppressed the emotion in his eyes, and said in a dull voice, "You don't need to do anything."
Under the table, the tip of the fish tail swayed and then fell to the carpet.

At night, after Si Jinyan left, Chi Li suddenly frowned in his sleep.
He was haunted by nightmares.
Chi Li could clearly feel that he was dreaming, but could not wake up, so externally, the person lying on the bed frowned and his fingertips twitched slightly.
He saw a fire, and the two men in the fire were two men he had never seen before, but they were particularly familiar to him.
It wasn't until his eyes were sore and his vision was blurred that he reached out to touch his face and realized that he was crying while looking at the two figures in the fire.
The word "father" suddenly popped into my mind.
Those are his fathers.
His uncle who was his adoptive father, including the later emperor, once told Chi Li that his omega father and alpha father were great, and in the end they both dedicated themselves to scientific research.
Chi Li has never found his fathers in past news, books and other materials. Although they were "great", they did not leave any traces.
The situation in front of them is also different from those descriptions. If they are great victims, then they should not end like this.
There were seemingly no curses around him, the scorching temperature of the raging fire, and when the tongue of fire touched Chi Li, what was transmitted was the coldness that could freeze the blood, and tremors, fear and pain filled Chi Li's chest.
The figures in the fire never struggled. They were firm and unyielding, just one shadow hugging the other tightly.
Chi Li Anger welled up in his heart, and a voice shouted, "Fathers have never done anything wrong."
When he rushed toward the fire, trying to grab something, he walked through the sea of fire.
The world suddenly became silent and the vision became dim.
When he opened his eyes, he had not yet recovered from the dream of death, and the person in front of him took his breath away again.
Si Jinyan appeared in front of him, Chi Li's heart skipped a beat. "Si Jinyan?"
He should be Si Jinyan in his teenage years. He has a childish appearance, but his expression is mature, making it impossible for Chi Li to accurately guess his age.
However, the other party could not hear his voice.
Chi Li noticed Si Jinyan sitting in a wheelchair again, frowned and whispered, "Your legs..."
"Si Jinyan" still cannot be heard.
Si Jinyan looked at the person in front of him and smiled softly, "Little Chi, do you want the gift I give you?"
Chi Li is like a wandering soul, seeing "himself" from a third perspective and nodding expectantly.
Si Jinyan: "Then Little Chi close your eyes."
Chi Li saw himself closing his eyes.
"Si Jinyan" opened his mouth and moved his lips slightly, but Chi Li heard nothing. "Chi Li" closed his eyes and fell into Si Jinyan's arms in a daze.
Immediately afterwards, Chi Li saw a scene that trembled his soul--
Si Jinyan lowered his eyes, moved his hand in front of his chest, and suddenly the fingertips turned into sharp blades and stabbed straight into the chest, where the heart was, without any hesitation.
Chi Li has seen it many times. Scale appeared on Si Jinyan who was out of control, and his fingers were as sharp as a knife blade.
Chi Li's pupils trembled violently, "Si Jinyan!"
Yet he couldn't stop Si Jinyan.
Si Jinyan's brows began to frown, and his fingertips stirred slightly.
After a moment, an object half the size of a palm covered in thick blood appeared in the palm of Si Jinyan's hand.
After a few seconds, the blood on the object gradually disappeared, showing its original appearance.
A pure black Scale.
Chi Li held his breath.
Si Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms. "It will hurt a little."
Si Jinyan stared at the person in his arms, his eyes were deep, and his thick love was mixed with endless worry and reluctance.
Chi Li looked trembling.
Si Jinyan whispered, "We will meet again..."
"You want peace..."
The object that looked like Scale was placed on "Chi Li"'s chest. "Chi Li" frowned, and Scale felt pain in his heart through his flesh, making him struggle constantly.
Si Jinyan's voice was full of exhaustion. "Be good, don't you want the gift I give you? You have to accept it before I can give it to you."
As the struggle of the person in his arms gradually weakened, Chi Li saw the piece of Scale, and Si Jinyan pressed the piece of Scale with his palm, sticking it to "Chi Li's" chest and sinking in.
That piece of skin is still smooth and has no trace, but that piece of Scale has disappeared from Si Jinyan's palm.
Si Jinyan picked up "Chi Li" who had not yet woken up, and kissed "Chi Li"'s forehead. Si Jinyan's tired eyes showed true happiness. "Our 'hearts' are close together."
When Chi Li opened his eyes again, the window was already filled with fish belly white.
It's dawn.
Chi Li stared blankly at the sky outside the window. The light of the sun filled his field of vision, making him feel like he had his feet on the ground.
Everything in the dream was illusory and real. Those things revolved around "Chi Li", but Chi Li had no impression at all.
However, the impact they brought was as real as if he had experienced it in his lifetime.
