"Initiating flashback!"

Yuan Luoyi felt the sensation of falling, closing her eyes as she plummeted down. Space and time continuously shifted, and when she felt herself land on the ground, she opened her eyes.

Before her was a long, black wooden table laden with food. White roses adorned the crisscrossing plates and cups, and the flickering candlelight cast a gentle glow over the surroundings.

At the head of the table sat a man, pale, handsome, and gaunt - an ominous figure resembling a man on the verge of death.

He wore a black suit, its exquisite tailoring perfectly accentuating the curves of his shoulders. A magnificent white collar encircled his neck, with a silver badge engraved with the Yuan family's Double-Headed Snake emblem at its center.

Lowering his knife and fork, the man fixed Yuan Luoyi with an icy gaze, radiating bone-chilling murderous intent. He disliked being disturbed during meals.

The dimly lit room made it difficult for Yuan Luoyi to immediately recognize the man, but tentatively, she called out, "Fourth Brother?"

The man tilted his head slightly, seeming perplexed by the address, yet his curiosity was piqued by this small intruder.

He had some leisure time today and could keep her alive for a while, perhaps finding something interesting in the process.

He stood and approached Yuan Luoyi, his footsteps growing closer, and the sense of oppression intensifying.

Finally, his jet-black shadow fell upon Yuan Luoyi.

After observing her at close range, Yuan Luoyi became more certain that he was Yuan Si, though he appeared older, perhaps around thirty years of age.

Simultaneously, Yuan Si studied Yuan Luoyi, recalling the past.

"You are... Number 61, Lord Yuan's most prized creation. But didn't you die early on?"

Yuan Si rubbed his throbbing temple, chuckling pathologically, "Or have I also started falling ill?"

"You called me Fourth Brother, but I'm not your brother. I'm your owner; you're one of the many inheritances passed down to me."

"But..."

He suddenly leaned down, abruptly shortening the distance between them. Yuan Luoyi could now clearly see the obsession and madness burning like flames in his eyes.

Smirking wickedly, he said, "That address is truly intriguing, stirring up an odd emotion within me. What is this? A protective urge? Or a destructive one? I don't know, but I hope that during your time alive, I can figure out what it is."

Yuan Luoyi tensed and took a step back, increasing the distance between them.

In this timeline, Yuan Si wasn't her brother. To him, she was merely a suspicious figure who had suddenly appeared, and he might genuinely harm her.

Yuan Si gently said, "Don't be afraid. Are you hungry? I'm dining right now; you can join me."

He gracefully extended his hand, bowing humbly like a gentleman inviting a lady to dance at a ball.

Yuan Luoyi understood that the gentler Fourth Brother appeared, the more dangerous he became, like a snake lying in wait, remaining quiet to strike with lethal force.
