378 Fighting for Sovereignty

Ao Jie was a little dejected. “Am I really too cowardly?” If he had been brave enough to face it, things wouldn’t have been so troublesome, and Qiao Yanhui and Xu Qing wouldn’t be so tired.

“You’ve already worked hard. I believe you.” Xu Qing knew that Ao Jie had never given up. Otherwise, he wouldn’t remember things from time to time and felt fear. However, Ao Jie was still young at that time. If he had really encountered what she had guessed, that would be too cruel.

“I’ve been having nightmares for the past two days. I saw my other self. He mocked me for being weak and said that I wasn’t worthy of being Little Hui’s brother… If I continue to be weak, he will take my body and become Little Hui’s brother,” Ao Jie’s expression was pained as he said.

Xu Qing was a little surprised. It seemed that the treatment over these past few days was quite useful. Her voice was very gentle, like a mother comforting her child. “You have to believe in yourself. We all believe in you.”

!!

“I won’t disappoint you!” Ao Jie’s gaze became firm. His inner demons were preventing him from overcoming it.

“Ao Jie, don’t worry. We’ll always be here,” Xu Qing repeated.

“Thank you.” He was so lucky to be Qiao Yanhui’s younger brother and to have such an understanding sister-in-law.

At night, everyone fell into a deep sleep.

For some reason, Ao Jie was walking on a foggy path. All he could see was the road beneath his feet. He couldn’t see anything else. He couldn’t see the road ahead or behind him, but this road seemed familiar. He seemed to have seen it before. At this moment, something landed on Ao Jie’s face. He couldn’t help but reach out his hands and grab the falling peach blossom.

Ao Jie suddenly thought of something and looked at the tall peach blossom tree. As expected, he saw a familiar little figure.

“You’re so good-looking,” Ao Jie praised.

“You’re here.” The voice sounded a little illusory, as if it wasn’t real.

To Ao Jie’s surprise, this voice was actually a man’s voice. The peach blossom tree had disappeared, and the little boy had become a man.

“Who are you? Why do you seem so familiar?” Ao Jie frowned. Where had he seen this face before? This face was a little similar to Qiao Yanhui’s, but he didn’t think it was because of this.

“Have you forgotten?” The person sounded a little angry.

“Should I remember?” Ao Jie asked curiously.

“You shouldn’t have forgotten,” that person said again, but his voice gradually turned cold.

Just as Ao Jie was in deep thought with his head lowered, that person suddenly attacked and pressed Ao Jie down. His elbow pressed against Ao Jie’s neck as he glared at Ao Jie. “Coward.”

Ao Jie was even angrier when he heard this, but he realized that he couldn’t break free from the man. “Who are you?” Ao Jie shouted angrily.

“Heh.” That person chuckled softly. The feeling he gave him was a little familiar.

Ao Jie’s frown deepened. Finally, he came to a realization. “You’re my other self!” However, what puzzled Ao Jie was that in the past, when he saw his other self, he only saw a blurry face. Why had his face become so clear now?

“No! I’m me, and you’re you. We’re different, because I’m not a coward.” The man looked at Ao Jie in disdain, making Ao Jie want to punch him in the face.

“Since you’re not me, what do I have to do with you?” Ao Jie said coldly.

“Of course you have nothing to do with me, but I’m unwilling to continue sleeping, so I’m going to wake up, and you can continue to sleep here.” That person still had the same arrogant look, but his eyes were filled with killing intent. When he went out, he would definitely kill all those annoying people.

“No, this is my body.” Ao Jie panicked.

That person laughed. “Haha! Do you think you can prevent it?”

Ao Jie stiffened, his eyes filled with panic. “You can’t take my body away. This is my body!”

“Your body? Then why did you forget everything that happened before you were seven years old?” That person smiled disdainfully, as if he was looking at a lowly ant.

“I… I didn’t forget.” Not daring to look that person in the eye, Ao Jie lowered his head in frustration.

“Is that so? Then how about you accompany me to take a look?” That person raised his eyebrows.

“I… I don’t want to.” Ao Jie hugged his head and kept backing away.
