You Xi nodded his head vigorously. “I won’t lie. I definitely won’t lie ... Uncle, I... I will answer all your questions honestly. I’ll tell you everything I know.”
You Xi was as ek as a lamb before You Xi. He did not even dare to say a single “no”.
He was terrified right down to his bones by this second uncle of his. If he could avoid eting him in the future, he would do so. This man was even scarier than his worst nightmare.
You Xi recalled the sensation of his head being shoved into the toilet bowl the last ti. God f*cking dammit. His soul could not take that anymore.
He could only hope that his uncle would not be so extre this ti—at least let him drink clean water instead!
Tremble ran up You Xi’s spine when You Yi did not speak for a while. ‘Oh, uncle, uncle. Please ask quick. Just kill already. Stop torturing .’
“Un-uncle... If... if you want to know anything, just... ask... ask !”
You Yi stood up. He ripped You Xi’s dressing gown open with a swipe.
You Xi quivered. Dear God, what was his uncle doing? Was this a new tactic of his?
You Xi saw a necklace around You Xi’s neck when he tore his clothes. It looked just as Yan Qingsi had described. The pendant was half a ginkgo leaf. He snatched it off in a flash.
“How long have you been wearing this necklace?” You Xi asked.
“I-I-I... can’t rember. I have been wearing this necklace... for as long as I can rember. Uncle, if you... you like it, then I’ll give this to you...” As You Xi faced You Yi, he was almost tempted to call him ‘Grandpa’. Never mind the necklace. So long as he could appease him, he would give anything.
By now, You Xi forgot what his mother had told him, that this necklace was extrely important, that he could not take it off—that he definitely could not give it away. He had to take good care of it.
You Xi rubbed the pendant between his fingers. “You can’t rember? You sure?”
A petrifying aura blanketed You Yi’s voice. You Xi tremored on the bed. “I-I-I... Let think about it. I’m thinking... I think... when I was five... That’s right... I was five...”
“When you were five... I wasn’t ho back then.” You Yi’s job in his earlier days was special. He was not ho for years.
You Xi nodded his head vigorously. “That... that’s right... You weren’t... at ho!”
You Xi reminisced the days where his uncle was not at ho. He was such an emperor in the You family, the firstborn male of the firstborn before him. Everyone worshipped the ground he walked on.
“Who gave you this necklace? Your father or your mother?” You Yi asked another question.
You Xi shook his head. “I... don’t know. I’ve been wearing this for so long that I don’t know who gave it to . All I know is that they kept warning to never lose this necklace.”
“You rarely show this necklace to other people throughout all these years, right?”
“That’s right. I rarely show it, because... I-I think that it’s ugly...”
“Was there anything interesting that happened that concerned this necklace? Or is there any mory of it that you rember very clearly?” Sothing special must have happened since this necklace was so special.
You Xi shook his head. “No. I don’t think so...”
“You don’t think so?” You Yi retorted icily.
Fear crept up You Xi’s spine. “Let think. Just let think properly, Uncle,” he said quickly. “I’ll definitely rember sothing...”
F*ck. Even if he could not rember anything, he had to rember sothing.
However, he could not recall anything that was of interest. You Xi did not think that this necklace was anything special anyway.
You Xi stared at him from the side. Another shiver jolted through You Xi. He still could not rember even after a while. “Since you have such trouble rembering, then that ans that I have to help you rember!” You Yi said dispassionately.
