Chapter 526: Temporarily Living as Lin Feng

Chen Xiner glanced at Lin Feng again, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes. She slowly turned around, her back to Lin Feng, as if recalling something. The room was silent, with only the sound of the wind blowing gently outside the window.

"Six years ago, in the lair of those monsters, I saw Lin Feng explode and die with my own eyes." Chen Xiner's voice was very soft, but it was filled with endless pain. "Now six years have passed, and you appear. Do you think I will believe that you are the real Lin Feng?"

Lin Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart as he listened to Chen Xiner's words. He could sense the pain and doubt in her voice. "I don't know what happened, but I'm alive now, and I'm back." His voice was filled with a hint of helplessness and determination.

Chen Xiner suddenly turned, the dagger in her hand instantly pointed at Lin Feng. The dagger's cold light was even more dazzling in the candlelight. "Tell me, who are you? What is your purpose?" Her voice was filled with anger and vigilance, as if Lin Feng was an enemy who could hurt her at any time.

Lin Feng subconsciously took a step back, an innocent look on his face. "If I'm not Lin Feng, I don't know who I am." There was a hint of grievance in his voice. "I really don't mean any harm."

"Don't think I will believe you just because you say that." Chen Xiner's eyes were full of determination. "I won't let you hurt anyone from the Lin family." Her hand tightly grasped the dagger, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

"I really can't remember who I am, but don't worry, I won't hurt anyone from the Lin family." Lin Feng's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of sincerity and anxiety. His eyes were full of helplessness, trying to convince Chen Xiner.

Chen Xiner's hand tightly grasped the dagger, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion: "What can you guarantee?" Her voice was cold, as if the temperature in the room dropped with her words.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment and began to search his body, trying to find something that would convince Chen Xiner to trust him. His hands groped through the pockets of his clothes, his eyes filled with anxiety. However, after searching for a long time, his hands were still empty. "Wait a moment, I'll get my knife." Lin Feng's voice was a little panicked, he thought, perhaps his knife could prove his identity.

"Don't move. You don't need to take it." Chen Xiner's voice suddenly rose, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. "I know you are very powerful, but if you dare to hurt someone from the Lin family, I will drag you down with me even if I die." There was determination in her voice, as if she was ready to die with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at Chen Xiner's resolute eyes. He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow." He didn't want to scare Chen Xiner anymore and just wanted to end this painful confrontation as soon as possible.

Chen Xiner's hands trembled slightly. She stared at Lin Feng, seemingly weighing something. After a moment, she slowly lowered the dagger. "You don't have to leave so soon. You look exactly like Lin Feng. You can stay here temporarily in his place. You can leave in a few days." Her voice was filled with fatigue, as if she had just been through a battle.

When Lin Feng heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I promise you." He was secretly glad that he had more time to resolve the misunderstandings in Chen Xiner's heart and to understand his past more deeply.

"Don't let the Lin family find out." Chen Xiner warned again, her eyes still filled with vigilance.

"I will pay attention, don't worry." Lin Feng responded quickly. He knew Chen Xiner's worries and understood that his situation was difficult.

Afterward, Chen Xiner and Lin Feng briefly chatted about Lin Feng's daily routine. Chen Xiner's voice was calm as she detailed Lin Feng's daily life at the Lin family, from his early morning exercises to his interactions with his family, leaving out every detail. Lin Feng listened attentively, nodding occasionally as he committed this information to memory.

Finally, Lin Feng left Chen Xiner's room. He gently closed the door and walked down the corridor with heavy steps. The moonlight cast a long shadow over him, stretching his lonely figure. His heart was filled with doubt and confusion, unsure of his future or whether he could truly regain his memories.

After seeing Lin Feng leave, Chen Xin'er seemed to lose all her strength and slowly sat down. She leaned over the table, her shoulders trembling slightly, and the long-suppressed sobs finally escaped her throat. "Lin Feng, thank you for showing up in this way, but I still can't accept it. I really hope that person is you." Her voice, filled with endless pain and longing, echoed in the silent room.

Her mind kept replaying every moment she had spent with Lin Feng. They'd chased and played together in the yard, talked about their dreams under the moonlight. Lin Feng's smile, his voice, seemed to still ring in her ears. But now, although the Lin Feng before her had the same face, he had lost all his memories. This was something she couldn't accept.

Chen Xiner looked up at the bright moon outside the window, tears blurring her vision. She recalled six years ago, in that terrifying monster lair, when Lin Feng resolutely chose to self-destruct to protect her and the others. That dazzling light seemed to still flicker before her eyes, a pain that would forever linger in her heart.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Chen Xin'er's cheeks, dripping onto the tabletop, leaving a small, wet mark. She was lost in her own pain and longing, her entire body wrapped in a cocoon of sorrow. Just then, a sudden knock on the door shattered the deathly silence in the room.

Chen Xiner's body stiffened suddenly. She subconsciously thought that the man who called himself Lin Feng had returned. An inexplicable anger surged in her heart. She quickly stood up, wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, and strode towards the door.

With a creaky sound, the door was flung open. Chen Xin'er saw the person standing at the doorway, and her angry expression instantly turned to surprise, followed by a hint of panic. "Grandpa, why are you here?" Her voice trembled slightly, hoarse from crying. She quickly raised her hand to wipe her eyes again, trying to adjust her expression and force a smile.

Lin Chaohua stood at the doorway, his slightly hunched figure outlined in the moonlight. His eyes were filled with kindness and concern. Seeing Chen Xiner's expression, he understood a little, but he still spoke gently, "I just happened to be passing by and stopped by to see you. What's wrong with you? Did Feng'er bully you?" His voice was low and gentle, like the warm spring sun, trying to dispel the haze in Chen Xiner's heart.
