Kill crazy! The real daughter rushed to rectify the rich family!

The chessboard was frozen like a sculpture, and the unfinished water in the small cup had also turned cold.

Ye Kong remained calm despite his inexplicably excited heartbeat, and said in a steady tone: "You just asked me three questions."

Wen Can: ...

The girl looked at him accusingly: "You only ate one of my seeds, you are so greedy."

"..."

"If we continue playing chess, I can ask you a lot of questions - but I won't continue a game that has been stopped halfway, so we can save some time."

The girl simply crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly and looked at the person opposite her. Her expression was very calm, but her eyes held a hint of oppression that said, "Just try and cheat if you dare."

Wen Can: ...

There's nothing wrong with that.

He thought so.

But he couldn't help feeling a little confused - he asked that question in the first place because he obviously wanted to know her attitude towards the Qin family - if she hated them so much that she would really fulfill her promise and kill Qin Wu the moment she saw his face, then he had to think of a way to let her get revenge without actually getting her bloodstained.

But in the end, how could it become so crooked for no apparent reason?

She doesn't seem to care about that past event at all?

With such a confused but permissive attitude, he asked her, "What do you want to ask me?"

"..."

After nearly a minute of silence, the girl's slowly uttered question was heard in the tent.

"What is the scene you least want to recall in your life?"

"..."

Wen Can's breathing stopped for a moment.

His eyes were almost blank, yet he clearly sensed a cold and heart-piercing premonition in that moment of blankness - it was no different from being drowsy by a warm campfire and suddenly having an ice pick pierce his heart.

In the dream, the feeling of weightlessness as if stepping on empty air and the coldness as if falling into the abyss came at the same time and disappeared in a flash.

His heartbeat increased by two beats.

The man suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Ye Kong with obvious shock, which was probably "Why do you ask such a question?" "Why do you ask me such a question?" "What do you want to know?" - such a defensive attitude that was close to an attack.

But Ye Kong looked at him steadily, without any sign of wavering.

She even spoke up, as cold as a judge: "You don't want to cheat or give random answers, do you? This is against the rules."

"..."

The hot and tangled atmosphere just now disappeared.

Wen Can lowered his head and slowly took a sip of water.

He drank very slowly, taking almost three minutes to finish the water that could be gulped down in one gulp, as if he was using this action to organize his thoughts, or maybe he was thinking about this problem for the first time in his life.

Or maybe he's just stalling for time.

Because he didn't put the cup down after drinking it, but held it in his hand for a long time, and his shadow seemed frozen on the tent, motionless.

-

But what Ye Kong saw was not his shadow, but his face which was gradually turning pale.

She saw the blood fade from his face layer by layer, making his inky eyes appear even darker and blanker - as if he had realized something catastrophic for the first time in this long period of thinking.

A terrifying answer he had never thought about before.

Ye Kong breathed more gently, and his heartbeat slowed down as well.

She didn't realize how careful her eyes were.

She waited for a long time with unprecedented patience before she saw the man slowly raise his head.

He met her gaze, and the shadow behind him seemed to silently grow larger, turning into a monster, into an abyss—

"At my eighteenth birthday," he said, his hoarse voice rising in segments, "my parents celebrated my birthday on a yacht in the Pacific."

"There is no one else, just our family of three."

"My mother gave me a diving robot with a program she wrote herself. It can translate the calls of whales and record and transmit the images to me at any time."

-

"This way, you can talk to your favorite little babies... oh no, big babies, no matter where you are! You're the first human in the world who can talk to whales! How's that? Isn't it cool?"

The unkempt but still stunningly beautiful woman looked at him with her hands on her hips: "I spent a lot of time on this! I guarantee this is the best adult gift in the world!"

"Wait wait! I haven't said anything yet!"

The man who had just taken off his coat and was about to open the red wine immediately became anxious. He put down the wine, pulled up his sleeves and pointed at them: "Follow me, I'll show you what the best adult gift is."

The woman curled her lips.

The young man with stunning appearance and flamboyant temperament had a calm face, but he couldn't hide the eager anticipation in his eyes. He followed the man with his hands in his pockets.

His mother followed behind him, more like practicing than muttering: "It's definitely not as good as me, it's definitely not as good as me, it's definitely not as good as me."

The three of them walked across the deck where the sea breeze was blowing and the sun was warm, and then walked around the corridor where they could see dolphins chasing seagulls circling, and then they entered the cabin and went into the basement.

After going down one flight of stairs, the father who had reached the bottom first turned around and made an elegant arm-stretching gesture like an aristocrat: "To congratulate Ms. Chi Wandao and I on our coming-of-age ceremony for our only son, and to congratulate the young master of the Wen family on his precious 18th birthday, which will only come once in his life—"

The glowing blue light filled both pupils.

When he realized that there was sea water everywhere, the soles of his shoes had already landed on the bottom step.

He raised his head, and in front of him was a huge projection covering an entire wall. In the projection, which was wider and clearer than the world's largest movie screen, a huge creature was slowly breaking through the water and leaping out from the boundless sea.

"Dad adopted Alice for you. Thanks to my charity work, I was able to earn this privilege. This is the official adoption certificate. Look whose name is on it..."

"Tsk, someone with money ability."

"Ms. Chi, please don't try to discredit my fatherly heart. I went to many places, spent a lot of effort, and drank a lot of wine to get this. And who said that this is my only gift?"

"This yacht is also a gift from Dad."

The man spread his arms and showed an elegant smile that did not conceal his victory. "When you are happy, you can carry passengers and be an ordinary whale-chasing tourist. When you are unhappy, you don't need to carry passengers. You can increase the horsepower to the maximum and enjoy the boat on the sea as you like."

"Captain Wen Can, please be sure to take me with you." Ms. Chi said solemnly.

"If you don't come to beg me..."

"What are you asking for? It's not your ship."

"I sent it."

"What is given away is spilled away..."

-

"My name is on that adoption certificate."

"I know that many people have adopted marine life and it has become a way to promote environmental protection - but even so, I am the first one."

His voice lingered in the biting winter night, like a train coming from a withered time, moving forward wearily and mechanically.

"Alice was the first whale I saw in person. She was very old, so she was very big and gentle. I liked her very much."

"There is a line of words written in the adopter column on the adoption certificate."

"That's the scene I least want to recall."
