After Jiang Yun finished his lunch, Xia Lin stood behind him and massaged his head to help him relax. Jiang Yun closed his eyes comfortably and enjoyed it. This was not the first time Xia Lin had massaged him. As early as half a year ago, whenever he was tired, Xia Lin would massage his head. Xia Lin's technique had improved a lot. Although he said he wouldn't take a nap, Jiang Yun fell asleep soon.
After covering Jiang Yun with a thin blanket, Xia Lin went out for a walk alone. He thought that although he could stay for at most a few more months, the last task would surely come soon, maybe in one or two months! So he didn't have much time left. Thinking of Jiang Yun's sweet complaint a few days ago that he was getting more and more clingy, Xia Lin gave a helpless bitter smile.
It was the same in the previous two worlds. Every time when the departure was approaching, he couldn't help seizing every second to stick with the one he loved.
If only he didn't have to earn the love value in future worlds. Then he wouldn't be so sad when leaving without investing his true feelings. But Xia Lin knew it was impossible. After experiencing three worlds, he had figured out the rule. Without the love value, he couldn't gain the trust and love of the villain bosses. Without their sincere affection, what right did he have to persuade them to turn over a new leaf?
Half an hour later, Xia Lin pulled himself together and went back. Just then, Jiang Yun woke up.
In the evening, Jiang Yun said to Xia Lin, "Xiaolinzi, I want to take you to pay homage to my parents and tell them that their son has found someone to accompany him for a lifetime."
Xia Lin nodded. It had been raining from time to time recently, which was not suitable for a visit. So Jiang Yun said he would take Xia Lin there more than a month later, just in time for his parents' death anniversary.
Two days before Jiang Yun was going to take Xia Lin to pay homage to his parents, Xia Lin completed the final task with mixed feelings.
Logically speaking, he should have left before he could accompany Jiang Yun to pay homage to his parents. But Xia Lin exchanged the two bonus points he had earned from reducing Jiang Yun's darkness value for five extra days.
On the third day, Xia Lin and Jiang Yun came to the graves. Xia Lin knelt on the ground with Jiang Yun, kowtowed, and offered incense. Then he listened to Jiang Yun chattering in front of his parents' graves, talking about being together for a lifetime...
Finally, Jiang Yun asked Xia Lin to say a few words. Xia Lin deliberately put on a bright smile and said, "Hello, Mom and Dad. You must bless your son to be happy!"
Jiang Yun felt something strange in his heart, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Finally, he thought it might be because he was here to pay homage to his parents today, so he couldn't help feeling sad.
Finally, as Xia Lin had previously suggested, Jiang Yun took Xia Lin back to the General's Mansion. Since it wasn't far, Jiang Yun thought he could also take Xia Lin to "reunite" with his parents on the way.
As for Xia Lin, he was thinking that only when the five of them were together could he use the memory eraser. One day later, Jiang Yun and Xia Lin returned to the General's Mansion. Not long after they got back, the emperor came. He had come because of a letter Xia Lin had asked Qiu Zi to send, saying that there was an urgent matter that required his presence.
If it had been someone else, the emperor would surely have asked for a clear explanation and might even have flown into a rage. But this was his beloved son, so it was different. Therefore, the emperor thought, "I'd like to see what this so - called important matter is."
Everyone was there. There were only five people in the room including Xia Lin. The servants were outside and couldn't hear what was going on inside. Xia Lin watched them drink the tea one by one and thought, "The plan is successful."
