Shen Jingqi was stunned, he could hardly believe his ears. This mysterious person actually claimed to be his future? "You... what did you say? You are my future?" he stammered, his eyes full of confusion and shock.
The mysterious person nodded, his gaze firm and profound. "Yes, I am your future. I come from a future world, a world changed because of you."
Shen Jingqi's heart was full of confusion and bewilderment. He stared at the mysterious person with wide eyes, trying to find answers in his gaze. "Because of me? How could I possibly change the future?"
The mysterious person took a deep breath as if to calm the turmoil in his heart. "In the future world, you made a decision. That decision seemed insignificant but triggered a series of chain reactions that ultimately changed the course of the entire world." The rightful source is NoveIＦire.net
Shen Jingqi frowned, trying hard to recall every decision he had ever made but couldn't find the one the mysterious person mentioned. "I... what decision did I make? How could I know which decision would change the future?"
The mysterious person looked at Shen Jingqi, a trace of sympathy and helplessness flashing in his eyes. "You don't know yet, but you will soon understand. That decision is closely linked to your destiny and is also closely related to the fate of this world."
Shen Jingqi's heart was full of contradiction and struggle. He didn't know whom to believe or how to choose. He understood that his decision might change the course of the entire world, but he couldn't determine if that decision was right or wrong.
"What... what do you want me to do?" he stammered, his eyes full of confusion and fear.
The mysterious person looked at Shen Jingqi, a trace of determination and resolve flashing in his eyes. "I want you to go with me to the future world and witness the consequences of that decision with your own eyes. Only then will you understand your mission and responsibility."
"I... I can't go!" Shen Jingqi didn't know what the future world would be like, nor did he know if he could bear the consequences of that decision.
Moreover, he still had a task to stay with Li Baiyu.
Although now it was Li Baiyu's sub-personality, Li Baiyu, that appeared, Shen Jingqi also needed to return to his side as soon as possible to fulfill his responsibility.
As for these matters of the future, Shen Jingqi was not interested or willing to do them now.
The mysterious person looked at Shen Jingqi, a trace of disappointment and helplessness flashing in his eyes. But he did not give up, instead continuing to persuade him, "You must go! Only by witnessing the consequences of that decision with your own eyes can you understand your mission and responsibility. Only then can you change the destiny of the future world."
Shen Jingqi's heart was full of contradiction and struggle. He didn't know whom to believe or how to choose. He looked at the mysterious person, a trace of confusion and helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, stirring up the dust and debris on the ground.
Shen Jingqi rushed to him and flipped over his arm.
Shen Jingqi was stunned.
He stared hard at this man's arm in front of him, where a strangely shaped birthmark was conspicuously visible, like a scar left by burning flames, or like a mysterious totem, twisted and swirling, exuding an indescribable allure.
This birthmark, Shen Jingqi was all too familiar with. He had countless times in the midnight dreams, gazed at the mark on his arm by dim moonlight; it was his unique sign, a testament to his distinctiveness in the vast sea of people.
And now, this birthmark appeared on another man's arm, so real, so shocking.
Shen Jingqi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it were going to break free from his chest. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by deep doubt. How could this be possible? Could it be that the man in front of him had some unknown connection with him?
He forcefully suppressed his inner shock and tried to calm himself down. He carefully examined the man in front of him, trying to find answers in his face, in his eyes.
The man looked to be in his early thirties, with a handsome appearance, gaze deep and firm. His attire was quite ordinary, but it couldn't hide the aura that exuded from the inside out. At this moment, he stood quietly in front of Shen Jingqi, a subtle smile playing on his lips, as if waiting for something.
Shen Jingqi slowly lifted his head and met the man's gaze. At that moment, he seemed to be shocked by an invisible force, a sudden surge of inexplicable restlessness in his heart.
"You..." Shen Jingqi opened his mouth, only to find that his voice was a bit trembling, "what's going on with the birthmark on your wrist?"
The man smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Shen Jingqi's reaction. He gently shook his wrist, the birthmark looking more eerie and captivating under the sunlight.
"You recognize this birthmark?" The man's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had some kind of magic that made people want to approach.
Shen Jingqi nodded, then shook his head. His doubts grew wild like weeds in his mind, making thinking almost impossible.
"This birthmark... is mine." He finally mustered the courage and struggled to say the words.
The man, upon hearing this, raised an eyebrow slightly, an amused look flashing in his eyes. He slowly extended his hand and gently grasped Shen Jingqi's wrist. At that moment, Shen Jingqi felt as if a current passed through his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
"Oh? Are you sure?" the man chuckled softly, as if his smile hid some profound meaning.
Shen Jingqi wanted to withdraw his hand, but he found the man's grip surprisingly strong. He could only let the man tightly hold his wrist, a wave of intense unease surfacing in his heart.
"Of course I'm sure." Shen Jingqi gritted his teeth, trying to make his voice sound more firm. "I've had this birthmark since I was a child. I would never mistake it."
The man, upon hearing this, smiled more brightly. He slowly released Shen Jingqi's wrist, then stepped back a pace, put his hands in his pockets, and stood there leisurely.
"Well then, have you ever thought about why this birthmark would appear on my wrist?" the man asked softly.
Shen Jingqi was stunned. He had never thought about this issue, nor dared to. A birthmark is a mark he was born with, a proof of his uniqueness. But now, this birthmark appeared on another man's wrist, how could he accept this?
He took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down. He knew now was not the time to be panicked; he must find the answer and uncover this mystery.
"Who... who are you exactly?" Shen Jingqi asked in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a wary light. If this man was really his future, it was more than just changes in the timeline.
