The sudden hard brake made Li Qiyu stumble forward. Fortunately, the seat - belt protected her; otherwise, her head would have hit the glass. Song Yian felt both distressed and anxious. So he slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road. Luckily, this was a suburban road with few passing vehicles. Otherwise, with his stop - and - go driving, he would have been honked at non - stop.
After Song Yian parked the car steadily, Li Qiyu, still in shock, quickly rolled down the window to breathe in fresh air. As an ancient person, she couldn't bear such a shock.
Seeing her discomfort, Song Yian felt heartache. He quickly handed her water and tissues. When Li Qiyu's complexion improved a bit, he asked, "What you just said about being in the same time - space means... he also time - traveled?"
With water in her mouth, Li Qiyu could only nod to answer him.
"Could it be that... this person is..." A figure instantly popped into Song Yian's mind.
Li Qiyu thought to herself that just from her mention, Song Yian had guessed the identity of Song Yunsheng?
She turned to look at him, and Song Yian said the name he suspected: "Lu Xingqi?"
Li Qiyu almost choked on his words.
"Why do you think it's Lu Xingqi?"
"Don't you always call him 'fellow - townsman'? If it's not him, who else could it be?"
Actually, Song Yian was mostly jealous. The connection between Li Qiyu and Lu Xingqi made him feel a bit uncomfortable. The only rival in love he could think of was Lu Xingqi.
Song Yian's unexplained hostility towards Lu Xingqi made Li Qiyu both amused and exasperated. She said, "If he were Song Jiaye, do you think I could still get along with him amicably?"
"You get along with him amicably?"
"That's not the point." Li Qiyu rubbed her temples in headache. She decided not to beat around the bush anymore and told Song Yian the answer directly: "Song Yunsheng is Song Jiaye."
"Ah?!"
At first, when he heard this news, Song Yian suspected his ears were playing tricks on him. But soon he thought this statement made a lot of sense - many of Song Yunsheng's puzzling actions could now be explained.
For example, Song Yunsheng would secretly contact Li Qiyu behind his back. For example, Li Qiyu seemed to have some unexplained hostility towards Song Yunsheng.
However, at the same time, Song Yian also remembered the words he heard outside the door on the day when Song Yunsheng privately met Li Qiyu.
"Didn't he say he was Zhou Donglin?"
At that time, Song Yian didn't know the weight of the name Zhou Donglin. He thought Song Yunsheng was just trying to get close casually.
Li Qiyu complained, "Only a fool would believe that."
Realizing that her words were a bit of a sweeping statement, she quickly added and explained, "I don't mean you."
But the more she explained, the more uncomfortable Song Yian felt.
Li Qiyu explained, "The real Zhou Donglin would never prove himself like that."
If it were the real Zhou Donglin and he recognized her, he would definitely run over like a silly wolf from the Eastern Capital, get close to her, and say, "Li Qiyu, do you know me? Guess who I am."
Although he would say let her guess, he would surely blurt out his identity early on.
"Hahaha, I know you definitely can't recognize me. I'm Zhou Donglin. Why are you so stupid?"
He would talk to himself, with his happiness and excitement all over his face. If he had a little tail, he would surely wag it very fast.
Li Qiyu said, "He knows me, and I know him. While he guessed my identity, I also guessed most of his identity. It's just because..."
At this point, Li Qiyu looked up at Song Yian beside her.
It was just because of Song Yian's presence that it hindered Li Qiyu's judgment. Song Yian also had memories of the ancient times - although those were only reflected in his dreams.
However, now she was very sure that Song Yian was not the ancient Song Jiaye.
Even though he had the memories of the ancient times, even though he looked exactly the same as the ancient Song Jiaye and once had the same name.
Song Yian was just Song Yian.
Li Qiyu didn't tell Song Yian about her previous suspicion of him. She said, "I'm telling you this so that you can be on guard against him. He survived the battle for the throne, and his methods may be more despicable than you think."
"Are you sure he's the ancient Song Jiaye?" Song Yian's expression instantly became serious.
"I'm sure. Although I have no evidence, I'm certain."
Just as Song Jiaye could be sure that she was Li Qiyu, after being husband and wife for many years, some things didn't need evidence.
"Okay." Song Yian nodded and said seriously, "I'll avenge you."
Hearing this, Li Qiyu got a bit panicked and quickly said, "I'm telling you this so that you can be careful. Don't forget what you promised me."
Fortunately, before this, she had the foresight to make Song Yian make a proviso.
Song Yian's expression was very solemn. Thinking of what he saw in his dreams and the information from Li Qiyu's words, he got extremely angry at the scumbag Song Jiaye from the ancient times.
He punched the steering wheel.
"I really want to kill him right now."
"No!" Li Qiyu quickly stopped him.
She thought Song Yian would be more steady than Zhou Donglin. If she had known this, she wouldn't have said anything.
"Then... then I'll tie him up and leave him alive!"
"No! Kidnapping is also illegal!" During this period, Li Qiyu had communicated with the screenwriters about the script and learned a lot about modern legal knowledge. After all, the script had to avoid many sensitive parts.
Song Yian felt suffocated in the car. He unbuckled his seat - belt, got out of the car, walked around to the back seat, and pounded his chest and stamped his feet. After venting for a long time, he got back into the car.
He made a final attempt: "Can I..."
"No."
"But I really can't bear it. This guy..."
"You have to bear it even if you can't. You promised me."
"You didn't say it was this thing at that time!"
Even if it meant perishing together, as long as he could get this scourge away from Li Qiyu, Song Yian wouldn't even frown.
"Song Yian." Li Qiyu said seriously to him, "I don't want you to risk your life for revenge because you mean more to me. If you do something stupid, even if it's a one - for - one exchange and perishing together, I'll be very sad."
The words "you mean more to me" made Song Yian, who was like an angry bull just now, instantly become docile and obedient.
Of course, his anger was suppressed a lot, but Song Yian's inner anxiety didn't decrease.
