Ren Yi waited until his father had fallen asleep before walking absentmindedly into the office. He didn’t turn on the light, sitting stiffly in the chair for a long time.XSZyzcvdGwRxojGtpwhpfAdDuuuthi

Outside the window, he could hear the soldiers laughing and joking on the training field, building a bonfire with old tires used in their firefighting drills. From the recreation room came the festive music of the Spring Festival Gala. Everything was brimming with joy, warmth, and reunion. Yet, he sat alone in the unlit office, feeling cold to his core.odjRNppnXKVHSGJkcufrUHkUZCcVMe

In that instant, he understood. He understood why Dr. Pompeii had to perform deep hypnosis on his father. He also understood their past hesitations and cryptic remarks.wPkxFGIOEIrIcFunLwRceGUqNTNzqQ

zoDLHMkmtvzaxpg

What he didn’t understand was when Gong Yingxian had started to doubt his father, or how Gong Yingxian had viewed him during that time. How had Gong Yingxian felt, watching him painstakingly search for every shred of evidence from the past, all while harboring such suspicions?CyHLKPNydhzFLMBVCCYyJyoJWQUwRc

How could it have come to this? He had done everything he could to help Gong Yingxian find the murderer, yet Gong Yingxian doubted his biological father?! Worse, he concealed it, tricked him into signing a waiver, and secretly subjected his father to deep hypnosis!RCUFeyxIDATuoVCmIgtVgorYQAlEEp

No, that didn’t seem like something Gong Yingxian would do. He wouldn’t treat him that way—not after all they had been through, not after facing life and death together so many times, not after forging a bond stronger than most.uAtwOUPPOUHstIKHTgblybpfywqdgG

Maybe… maybe it was Dr. Pompeii acting on his own. Maybe that agreement was no different from the ones he had signed before. Maybe Gong Yingxian wasn’t even aware of it?dgeVcqAoPKJXDuKFomlUsOVukpCuGO

Yes, things weren’t clear yet. He shouldn’t jump to conclusions. He had always felt that Dr. Pompeii was a bit suspicious, especially when it came to Gong Yingxian’s memories of the bird mask. Was it really the doctor surnamed Wang who did it? Dr. Pompeii seemed to have both the time and the means.hBSZxKCjRscPemuLEbSVgKtQhOKpzP

The room was filled with laughter, but Ren Yi’s smile was stiff and hollow. He didn’t want anyone to notice his unease, so he forced himself to join in, helping with the dumplings.

Ren Yi stood on the training field, wrapped in a thick coat, watching the young soldiers excitedly roughhousing. He couldn’t help but think back to years ago when he had first joined the squad. Was he just like them back then?zitRANsMbecieaFgMgyWUaGkaaqgJM

Behind him, Ren Yi could hear some of the female family members softly gasping in admiration. Many people reacted this way when they saw Gong Yingxian for the first time. His stunningly good looks were undeniable, but that wasn’t what Ren Yi had fallen for.WujvXSksgzxPOHUKUbeRNplEDYGTyP

And because of this, Ren Yi was especially afraid of the truth. He feared he had never truly known Gong Yingxian, that he had only been fooled by appearances.ORuAFriPmxgoRuPEpvcdYroNKbKJBw

Gong Yingxian reached him, exhaling lightly. “Good thing there wasn’t much traffic. I drove like crazy to get here just in time for the countdown.” He had rushed all the way here because he wanted to spend this New Year’s Eve with Ren Yi. Their first New Year’s Eve together had been a chaotic and dangerous affair, and their original “date” plans had fallen apart. This time, he was determined to make it right.liQPPYhUsxfRwHbGvqvkoZKslvbDyP

Ren Yi glanced at the time. “It’s almost midnight. We’re about to light the bonfire—it should be pretty nice….” He hesitated, realizing that a bonfire might not be enjoyable for Gong Yingxian. He quickly added, “If you don’t want to watch, you can wait for me inside.”HhKFvsdqoPitQknhdtAjcaKPDkOLbh

You have to admit, the Purple Flame’s interpretation of fire makes sense. It’s like the will of a god—without intent. Whether it destroys or creates anew, burns or warms, fire is simply fire.

He’s avoided that year his whole life because it was the most painful, torturous year of his existence! But now he’s back there—today, tomorrow, maybe again and again—all because of you.
