Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Her entire field of vision was spinning, and the glaring blood-red color in the distance made it difficult for her to look up.

(Note: The blood-red color was created by Lu Ling and Lu Yao using a ketchup effect and then zooming in; it still looks quite realistic from a distance.)

Yang Qiuyun wanted to move her legs quickly to get to the children, but she was so weak that she sat down on the ground.

Then came a wave of nausea.

"vomit!"

"Lord Qiuyun?!"

Lin Yin saw that Yang Qiuyun suddenly tilted her head and started vomiting.

Lin Yin didn't care about anything else. Out of duty as a guard, she quickly grabbed Yang Qiuyun under her armpits and dragged her to a place a little away from the vomit.

I was just about to grab the tissues I had with me to wipe her down...

But Lin Yin really saw her like this.

A vulnerable side of Yang Qiuyun that he had never seen before.

At this moment, her beautiful face, which could eclipse the brilliance of the moon, was filthy, with large tears streaming down her cheeks. Her sobs were heartbreaking, and the helplessness in her eyes was so tragic.

Hey, seriously, shouldn't the normal reaction at this point be to check if the person who was hit can be saved? You just gave up and started crying and vomiting?

Or were they so frightened that they forgot to take any action?

Yang Qiuyun quickly explained the problem.

She completely broke down!

Tears streamed down her face as she grabbed Lin Yin's arms, completely disregarding her image, and sobbed uncontrollably, her body trembling.

"Ughhhh!"

"Lady Qiuyun...you..."

"I was so scared! I was so scared! I thought my children were gone! I really thought they were gone! Yu Zhe and Yu Che, you guys are so cruel! Using a projector to scare me like this, I really... Waaah!"

Oops... I guessed it?

Lin Yin originally wanted to say that if you can see through someone, what's the point?

But... even though she's been seen through, Yang Qiuyun still can't stop crying.

This time, she wasn't faking it. She had no schemes this time, because she always cared about her image and was always calm in the face of adversity. But now she was crying her heart out, so disheveled that she didn't care at all about being covered in mud.

Even now, her arms are still trembling. Lin Yin, who is experienced in the world, knows that this is a natural reaction when a person is so frightened that they are about to lose their soul. It is impossible to act out such a degree of weakness and trembling.

So... although Yang Qiuyun saw through the act, she still managed to fool her for several seconds, and those few seconds were enough to make her mentally collapse.

"Lin Yin! You...you have to tell Yu Zhe to turn off the projector! I give up! I give up, okay?! Ugh, I can't stand this...ugh!"

"Don't hug me and throw up!!"

.................

The person who just drove the "out-of-control truck" was Lu Ling. She had completed her task and left to return the truck to where she had borrowed it. Lu Yao was in charge of the projection and was still maintaining the equipment in the distance.

Below the slope of that road, three small heads were hiding behind the slope, observing Yang Qiuyun's reaction from the very beginning.

These three were none other than Yu Zhe, Yu Che, and Zi Xiao, who had hidden in the best spot beforehand.

Yu Che had just seen Yang Qiuyun squatting on the ground vomiting, and initially felt that he had gotten his revenge, but the more he looked, the more something seemed off.

"No way... Shouldn't she be here to check if we're dead or not? Or maybe try to save us? She's just crying and not doing anything... Could it be that she saw right through us?"

“After all, Mom is very smart…” Zixiao had to admit, “I think I may have fooled her for a while, but with Mom’s judgment, she will definitely realize it soon. But… I feel so sorry for her, Mom seems to be vomiting a lot.”

"Don't be sad! You heartless bastard! Are you trying to betray us?!"

"You're the one who's truly heartless, aren't you! If anyone's heartless, it's you!"

"What did you say?!"

"Shut up!"

Yu Zhe pressed their heads down and continued to observe the movements in the distance.

At this moment, Yang Qiuyun tried to stand up, but each time she stood up, she fell back down because her legs were weak. Yu Zhe raised his hand and gave a gesture to Lu Yao in the distance.

Lu Yao understood and quickly turned off the projector. The blood-red area in the distance vanished without a trace.

Yu Zhe looked up at the sky, then glanced at Yang Qiuyun's disheveled appearance not far away, sighed softly, and released his grip on Yu Che Zixiao's hand.

"I never really expected this to fool her, but... even if it only lasts a few seconds, it'll be enough. Our goal is to make her feel the pain of losing a child, not to scare her to death. Even if it's just for a few seconds, she'll truly experience that feeling, and it must be excruciating pain..."

"Alright, you two, come with me to see her now. It's like losing something and getting it back. This time, even if it's your mother, she should know how to write the word 'reflect'."

59. Relying on each other

Lin Yin had given up struggling. Ah, looking at the stunning beauty in front of her with snot and tears streaming down her face, she knew she would have to wash her clothes thoroughly when she got home.

Incidentally, this was the first time in twenty years that Lin Yin had seen Yang Qiuyun sobbing uncontrollably.

This was her dereliction of duty as a guard, so Lin Yin felt at this moment...

That was so damn satisfying!!

Even geniuses feel helpless. Even someone as strong as Yang Qiuyun cried in her own arms. Xiao Yuzhe, you did a great job! You did a great job!!

Lin Yin felt she could eat three big bowls of rice tonight!

Yang Qiuyun only managed to catch her breath a little now. This arrogant woman, who had been proud for half her life, took the wet wipe from Lin Yin's hand and wiped her face with trembling fingers. As soon as she finished wiping, new tears involuntarily flowed down her face again.

"Waaah... Yu Zhe, Yu Che, Zi Xiao, where are they now? Can you take me home... Lin Yin, can you go and bring the children over for me? I really feel terrible right now, and the sea breeze is so cold. I miss them, waaaah..."

"So you miss home too...?"

"Isn't that for sure!"

Lin Yin did not act according to her instructions.

Because there's no need for that.

At this moment, Yang Qiuyun's three most precious children, barefoot, quietly stepped onto the sand and came up behind her.

Lin Yin hugged Yang Qiuyun and gently patted her back twice, while winking at Yu Zhe.

She was reminding Yu Zhe that...

It's too much to say anything more now that she's already speaking. After what just happened, Yang Qiuyun's mental state is really on the verge of becoming very fragile. If we continue to hurt her, she might really become withdrawn.

Yu Zhe isn't some kind of devil. He gave Lin Yin a look to reassure her.

Yu Zhe adhered to the principle of "no killing for surrendering" when dealing with those who had already surrendered. Since they had already admitted defeat, Yu Zhe had no need to "exterminalize" them.

Yu Zhe gently extended his palm.

That hand gently and delicately patted Yang Qiuyun's shoulder.

Incidentally, there was also a call that seemed to transcend time and space.

"mom."

"!"

The surging waves, the howling wind, the cries of seagulls, and the shadows of sand all fell silent.

Yang Qiuyun's entire world fell silent at that call.

This is the quiet this time... completely unlike the quiet that came from the rush of blood to my head when I saw that horrific scene.

This time, it was Yang Qiuyun's own inner world that had truly been dyed a pure white, where flowers were in full bloom.

Once upon a time, she dreamed of Yu Zhe and Yu Che, who were not even as tall as her waist, calling out for their mother to come and hug them.

There were times when she would feel heartbroken because she thought she might never see her child again in this lifetime.

But now, as the clear spring flows through the mountain stream and the gentle breeze caresses the grass, the ravines in my heart have become a smooth road.

When this mother, who had been away from her hometown for a long time, looked back at the faces of her three grown-up children, especially when they had just been "lost" and were now standing in front of her again, she had no resentment in her heart.

She smiled through her tears—a smile that broke through her tears.

"Yu Zhe! Yu Che! Zi Xiao! Ahhhhh!"

"Wait a minute!"

"Huh?!"

Just as Yang Qiuyun was about to pounce, she suddenly felt a strong pull grabbing the back of her collar and pulling her back!

As everyone knows, Lin Yin is oblivious to the atmosphere.

Speechless, she took out all the tissues and handkerchiefs she had with her to help Yang Qiuyun wipe away the sand and other dirt that she had gotten on her from rolling around on the ground.

Her long silver hair was full of sand, as if she had just been dug out of a sandpit.

"Lady Qiuyun, you are usually the cleanest person, look at the state you are in now. I may not mind that you are dirty, but how can the children not mind? If you just carry them like this, they will only complain. See, I am the most considerate one at times like this."

"..."

Yang Qiuyun stared blankly at her loyal guard, then at the three children who were also stunned and didn't know what to say.

She felt her self-esteem had been severely hurt...

From a young age, she was the eldest daughter of the Yang family, the apple of their eye. After arriving at the Su family, she became the renowned Madam Su, beloved by the children. Despite her imposing presence, she was dragged away by her own guards and slumped to the ground, looking disheveled.

Just now, Yang Qiuyun was still immersed in the afterglow of regaining the children, but when Lin Yin interrupted her like this, she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of shame!

"I can't live like this anymore!!!"

"Huh? What are you saying... Hey?!"

Lin Yin was still thinking about how to help her clean up when Yang Qiuyun suddenly performed a dramatic escape, quickly taking off her dirty coat and leaving only a single layer of clothing underneath. She then immediately stood up, freeing herself from Lin Yin's grasp, and shook her head to try and shake off the sand from her silver hair.

Then...

He lunged at the three children again!

There was a slight mishap just now... but there won't be any more problems this time!!

During this process, Yu Zhe, Yu Che, and Zi Xiao exchanged a brief glance.

That's roughly it.

Should we avoid it?
