Tong Pei brought Guo Miao to a mountain near Haicheng that faced the sea and surrounded the city.

Standing on the mountain, she looked into the distance. There were specks of lights decorating the mountains. It seemed to come from her hometown, the small county called Dongshan.

Although it was already late spring, the weather was still a little cold. The temperature was even lower in the mountains at night.

“I used to come here without telling my family. The scenery here is breathtaking. Sometimes, I wonder if I’d jump down from here.” Guo Miao smiled bitterly.

That had been in her previous life. At that time, before she finished high school, she was chased out by the Guo family in Haicheng. She had no ability to survive, and when she returned to Dongshan, she was a laughing stock. She had been doing some simple manual labor in Haicheng.

Thinking of herself at that time, Guo Miao smiled bitterly. “1 thought that the incident was from my previous life, but now that I’ve met Chen Yin, I remember it again.”

She raised her head and looked at the lights in the distance.

Those memories were already blurry, but the pain still lingered in her body, making her breathless.

A warm coat with a tropical fragrance enveloped her body.

Turning around, Tong Pei was staring at her. “Pain is hard to forget with time.”

He smiled lightly as if he was also immersed in his memories.

“Even after more than ten years, some pain can’t be eliminated,” Tong Pei said, “I once had such an experience. Even though I have already moved past the tragedy, every time I think of those moments, I still feel heartbroken.”

Guo Miao nodded.

When she transmigrated to the Empire, she always used her studies to enrich herself and make herself forget those painful memories, but they did not disappear.

Even though she had fallen to the slums and was doing manual labor, Guo Lin had not let her off. She either went to the restaurant where she worked and messed up whatever she had cleaned up, or gave her a bad review and forced her boss to fire her.

Later on, she even hired Chen Yin to torture her. Her body had been ridden with scars from physical labor and abuse.

“I don’t know if what I’m doing is right. 1 actually wanted to use the most extreme method to deal with those people I hate. But I can’t,” said Guo Miao.

She had dreamed of killing the Guo family countless times.

This thought had been playing on her mind for a long time, but at a certain moment just now, this feeling surged again, as if it wanted to drown her rationality.

Tong Pei roughly knew what Guo Miao was going to say, so he calmly replied, “But you controlled it.”

“It’s probably because I feel that even though I’ve tried my best, there are still many things that I can’t change. If it weren’t for you, I might have met misfortune today,” said Guo Miao.

Even though she had tried hard, Guo Lin had almost harmed her today. Cheng Yu was still unwilling to let her go.

Tong Pei didn’t say anything and just patted Guo Miao’s shoulder.

“I won’t let that happen,” he said.

“Why won’t you let this happen? Do you want me to hire a bodyguard or install an alarm on me?” Guo Miao said with a smile.

Even if one knew a lot of things in advance and made full preparations, it was still difficult to ensure a person’s absolute safety.

“Believe me,” Tong Pei said.

Guo Miao turned her head and their eyes met.

In a flash, Guo Miao’s heart began to beat faster. For some reason, she was willing to believe what Tong Pei said.

“Thank you,” Guo Miao said. She felt her cheeks turn red.

As the night breeze blew, she felt much more awake.

She felt like she had been in a dream for the past six months. She was afraid that she would wake up in the cold basement and find herself being bullied by Guo Lin.

For some reason, the moment Tong Pei said that she could trust him, she suddenly felt a sense of groundedness. Although she did not know where this sense of groundedness came from, it made her feel safe.

“Don’t worry. Go to Country B. I’ll help you take care of everything here,” Tong Pei said.

The two chatted for a while before Tong Pei sent Guo Miao home..
