He said he wanted to become Li Hetai's guardian.

At the time, Li Taihe did not respond to him, and the matter was left unresolved. Now, the old story has been brought up again.

Li Taihe pointed to his knee with his finger.

That winter slowly surfaced in my mind.

The snow outside was very thick; stepping into it would completely submerge leather shoes. This person braved such heavy snow to come and discuss something with him.

When it was time to part, the person said something like... "I want to become Li Hetai's guardian?"

After remembering, Li Taihe's eyes slowly darkened. "So?"

The atmosphere took a turn for the worse.

Gu Xinglan said slowly, "Since you haven't agreed, are the conditions still in effect?"

"If you think I'm a person who keeps my promises, then go ahead and ask. If you don't think I am, then you'd better answer my question first." The speaker turned his head and slowly sipped his wine.

The wine smells wonderful; after a while, the air is filled with its rich aroma, but it's not intoxicating.

Gu Xinglan quickly replied, putting her hand on her heart, "Of course, President Li is a person who keeps his promises."

"You smooth talker, just tell me, what do you want?"

“I want to go with Li Hetai.”

-

There is no airport in Jiangtong; it takes four hours to get there from Wushui by train.

The two, who hadn't even had time to adjust to the time difference after getting off the plane, took a taxi to the train station and both closed their eyes to sleep in their seats.

The old green train hummed loudly, and the people on board were all dressed simply, making two people, one big and one small, stand out conspicuously.

When the train's announcement came over the loudspeaker, and a distinctive braking sound was heard, it was time to wait.

Gu Xinglan was shaken awake and opened her eyes groggily.

We've arrived; we've reached Jiangtong City at this point in time.

They were all wearing short sleeves and shorts. It was very cold when they arrived, and they sneezed several times as soon as they got off the train.

The area outside the station was shrouded in mist, and only a few small shops around had their lights on.

The time displayed on my phone was only 8 p.m., but the place was shrouded in fog, like a blurry scene near sunrise.

The ground was covered in reflective water. Gu Xinglan stepped into it, and water splashed onto his calves, making him shiver from the cold.

"Li Hetai, where is your hometown...?"

All you see when you look up is a dark shadow, clearly a mountain, and only above that is the blue sky.

Surely the old house of the Li family couldn't be located in some remote mountain valley?

“In the mountains,” Li Hetai said.

Jiangtong Mountain has never been developed. The first half of the mountain has stairs, while the second half is completely natural. It wasn't until they trekked through the mountains and crossed the iron chain bridge that they saw a sign with red lanterns hanging on it.

The mountain wind blew her hair in a chilly gust, and Gu Xinglan gripped Li Hetai tightly.

He wasn't afraid.

If someone gets lost in such a vast mountainous forest, finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

For him, Li Hetai, who remembered the route, was his only guide.

"It's been over an hour since you left, why hasn't your hometown sent anyone to pick you up yet?" Gu Xinglan murmured.

He was carrying a bag containing a change of clothes, bottled water, and snacks.

Tired from walking, Gu Xinglan unwrapped the cookies and ate them slowly.

In the blink of an eye, Li Hetai, who was just here, suddenly disappeared...

Gu Xinglan hesitated before standing up.

"Li Hetai?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the woods, and soon Li Hetai came out of the woods with someone in his arms.

"Young Master, you're hurting me." Li Changqing said expressionlessly.

“Since you’re following along, why don’t you lead the way?” Li Hetai tossed two bags at Li Changqing.

Whether getting on the train, riding the train, or getting off the train, it was always just him and Li Hetai.

When did Li Changqing catch up with them? Gu Xinglan wondered and asked this question.

"When did you come here?"

But Li Changqing ignored him and started eating the snacks in his bag.

Before he could swallow it completely, Li Changqing was suddenly slapped across the face.

The sound was very crisp.

Gu Xinglan quickly took two steps back; he didn't make a move.

The person who did it was Li Hetai.

Li Hetai slapped Li Changqing for no apparent reason...

But the person who was slapped didn't stare at Li Hetai; instead, he stared at him with deep resentment.

As he walked past, the look in his eyes vanished as if it had never existed.

Gu Xinglan boasted that he had not offended Li Changqing.

He didn't have a deep relationship with this person. During the first business battle between the Zhang family and Chang Geng, this person often disappeared. He only remembered that the other party was very skilled.

The second time is now.

Seeing Li Changqing calmly looking at the bag of biscuits that Li Hetai had snatched away.

Gu Xinglan chuckled and patted Li Hetai on the shoulder.

"There's more in the bag." He gestured for the other person to take it.

Unexpectedly, Li Hetai grabbed his sleeve and said, "I ate in the car, and there are only two packets left."

I opened the bag and saw that there were several bags before, but now there were none left; it felt empty to the touch.

"I only ate two pieces from that bag, you can take it."

He was craving food and wanted to eat, but the little guy was really hungry.

Li Hetai stared at him intently, his unfathomable eyes shifting in shades, as if mixed with other colors.

The sound of clicking and cracking kept coming from the other side of the bridge. If any villagers were passing by, they would probably be terrified.

Two men surnamed Li were eating cookies, while Gu Xinglan stood on the bridge, gazing into the distance.

All of them are high mountains, so much so that even the wind, crossing from the mountaintop, loses its strength and blows lightly towards him, making it imperceptible.

"Li Changqing, can you tell me about the Li family's old house? Anything is fine with me." He turned his head and called softly.

Two pairs of eyes were glued to his back, and when he suddenly turned around, he indeed met Li Changqing's gaze.

The other person looked at the biscuits in their hand, then at Gu Xinglan.

"What do you want to ask?"

Do you know Li Hetai's grandfather?

Li Hetai's grandfather was the previous heir of the Li family.

But when the question came up, Li Changqing stopped answering and just stared at him coldly.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Let's go now." After saying that, the man stood up and reached into the bag of cookies to continue eating.

-

The old house is located in the village.

This village is quite strange. All the doors and windows are tightly closed, there are no signs of life, and the air is filled with a faint smell of disinfectant and Chinese medicine, as if you have entered a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

"My grandfather is still alive, but my grandmother has passed away."

Grandma is Li Taihe's mother. There is a room in the basement of the Changgu villa that he visited twice. It is a very Zen-like room.

The first time, Li Taihe forced him to wear that incredibly thin long dress, and he managed to squeeze in. The second time, he wore a sexy long dress that barely covered him.

He thought it was Li Taihe's first wife's clothes, but it turned out to be Li Taihe's mother's clothes...

Gu Xinglan rubbed her arms, and cold sweat inexplicably broke out on her back.

This does bear a strange resemblance to the patients he encountered in his previous life.

The subconscious mind has a great influence on people.

Li Taihe may not have realized that his behavior stemmed from a projection of his complex feelings towards his mother.

It's just an instinctive feeling that doing this can satisfy some kind of deep-seated need within me.

It could be a compensatory psychology arising from the lack of maternal love, or it could be that Li Taihe has not yet completed his psychological separation from his mother.

That's why he was allowed to wear the clothes his mother had worn when she was alive.
