After a whole night, Tian Jingzhi came to a conclusion: ‘whoever hung the bell on the tiger's neck must untie it’*. It seems that the only way to drive the Monster Xue away is to help him fulfill his wish. 

(Idiom: Whoever started the trouble should end it)

“Don’t you think we are bound by fate?”

Tian Jingzhi looked at Xue Lingqiao and smiled innocently. 

Xue Lingqiao nodded, evil fate is also a kind of fate.

“Look, I saved you with my blood, and then you…” She stuck out her tongue, bit it, and winked at him, “Just like this, you shamelessly saved me. This should make us even... Now that you live in my house, we need to talk.” 

“About what?”

“Your real purpose.”

“I said before: I'm looking for someone, and when I find them, I'll leave.” 

Tian Jingzhi insisted: “Who? Name, gender, appearance, age; tell me, and I can help you find the person.” 

“I said before, I don’t remember.”

Tian Jingzhi interjected, “Is there really nothing? Don’t make it sound so hopeless.” 

He hesitated, silent like a statue. 

He also has no hope, how can he give her any? 

Tian Jingzhi sighed, “I don't think I can escape this catastrophe, so tell me everything you remember, and I'll help you find that person together. Don't worry about what danger I'm in, at worst…” She stuck out her tongue, and bit it lightly, “I’ll let you expolit me a few more times, let’s just say I’m giving back to the community.” It's easier to invite the devil in than to send him away. Even if she didn’t want to, she had to accept the truth. Count it as an accumulation of merit. 

Xue Lingqiao was amused at her complicated expression and laughed. 

“You laughed just now!” Tian Jingzhi's eyes widened, “Did you laugh at my stupidity? You rarely laugh.” 

“I laugh often.” Xue Lingqiao said, “Of course, it would be great if you can help me. I'm looking for someone who drained my blood more than a hundred years ago. They were also the person who left me in a coffin for a hundred years." 

“Drained your blood? Your blood can be let out?” 

Xue Lingqiao confessed everything, “You also saw that night, if I am exposed to the cold for a long period of time, I will be very weak. And the healing power in my blood will gradually disappear. 

Tian Jingzhi ohh’ed and laughed wickedly: “I see... Do you want to eat ice cream?” 

Xue Lingqiao looked at her unamused, “No.”

She immediately put away her smile and said sternly: “Jokes aside, your enemy is very capable, but how did you know he was still alive?” 

“To take such risks to get my blood, isn’t it to become immortal?”

Makes sense. Tian Jingzhi nodded her head. 

“Unfortunately, I don't remember him at all. The memory of more than a dozen years before I was thrown into the lake flowed away with my blood.” 

“When you went to meet that person, you realized it was not someone you knew.”

Xue Lingqiao nodded, “I had thought the person from the research center who had rented me was my nemesis, but it seems that was a misunderstanding.”

Tian Jingzhi was taken aback: “You mean Professor Li?”

“You know him?”

“Of course.” Tian Jingzhi nodded, more than knowing him, “He is Ye Chen's postgraduate mentor. When I was with Ye Chen, I often went to his house for dinner. He’s a very nice person. I saw him the other day while filming. He was afraid of the aftermath of my last car accident, and proposed to draw my blood for an examination. I thought that my body might have been transformed by your blood, so I refused. Aren't I smart?”

After listening to her words, Xue Lingqiao paused and fell into contemplation.

Tian Jingzhi didn't hear his reply and pouted: “Are there any other clues?”

“I visited my previous residence, it’s now turned into an open house for tourists. Judging from the items displayed in the house, it is very likely that I was the first group of photography enthusiasts. If I can find some of the pictures I have taken, that might be another lead.”

“Until any photos are found, this lead has zero value.”

Xue Lingqiao agreed that this lead can be put aside for the time being.

“So now, you can only wait for a miracle?”

Xue Lingqiao looked at her: “Maybe you can help me. That person knew that I had come back to life and wanted to kill me again. I believe the matter of transporting me to the research facility here is somewhat related to that person. Your ex-boyfriends are pursuing this matter, so you can relay any information as soon as they discover it.”

Tian Jingzhi pointed at herself in shock: “Are you asking me to be a spy?”

“It used to be known as a scout.”

Tian Jingzhi rolled her eyes and sneered: “No one asked. And on what basis do you think I will help you?”

“You said you wanted to help me just now.” Xue Lingqiao smiled, “Also, I don't think you want me to live here forever.”

“So, that's why you're living with me?”

“Correct.”

This is a little different from what she thought... Tian Jingzhi looked at Xue Lingqiao's expressionless face and was a little embarrassed: “I thought... nevermind.”

“You thought it was your beauty that attracted me?”

Tian Jingzhi immediately raised her chin and stared at him: “Am I not beautiful?”

“Just passing…”

Tian Jingzhi snorted arrogantly: “It's a pity that human beings and monsters are different species, just give it up!”

Tian Jingzhi felt much better after countering him. She turned around and hummed a little song while making her way upstairs. Halfway up, Xue Lingqiao suddenly appeared in front of her. She had long been used to his shenanigans and calmly stopped to stare at him.

“So, will you help me?”

Tian Jingzhi was speechless: “Do you think I have other options?”

He looked into her eyes, as if confirming her sincerity. Suddenly Xue Lingqiao's expressionless face suddenly showed a deadly sweet smile.

It was rare for this big monster to smile so sweetly, Tian Jingzhi was startled, but confused.

Why are you so happy? Did the kindergarten give out little red flower stickers?

It was then, the mobile phone in her pocket rang. She took it out and saw ‘Xiaoyan’ displayed on the screen.
