Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.
The snow outside the window continued to fall, the wind no longer howled and raged, leaving only a quiet and gentle beauty under the moonlight.
Su Xian'er slowly opened her eyes, rubbing her groggy head as she sat up. Her memory was a bit hazy, and she looked puzzled. "Where am I?"
Suddenly, Su Xian'er remembered the three thugs from her memory and couldn't help but angrily say, "That's right! Those damned thugs dared to be rude to me! They were so insolent! When I get back, I'll tell my father, and I'll definitely teach them a lesson!"
Just as Su Xian'er was about to get out of bed, she felt something was wrong with the weight of the blanket. Looking down, she saw that Gu Liyan, who was covered by the blanket, was fast asleep.
Su Xian'er was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously shrank back to the corner of the bed. She glanced at Gu Liyan and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that this was the person who had saved her!
Unable to resist, she moved closer to Gu Liyan and scrutinized him closely. A peach blossom mark was etched on his handsome face, near his eyebrows and eyes, giving him a captivatingly wicked air.
"He's so handsome, I'm even a little envious!" Su Xian'er wiped her drool excitedly. Who doesn't like beautiful things?
Gu Liyan's eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his eyes, sat up, and rubbed them. When his vision returned, he suddenly realized that Su Xian'er was almost touching his face, looking him over. He was startled and subconsciously said, "You're awake."
Su Xian'er nodded excitedly and asked, "Mmm, handsome young man, how come you're so good-looking? What's your name?"
Gu Liyan opened his mouth but didn't answer. At that moment, his heart sank into an icy valley: "So, she really doesn't remember me!"
Seeing Gu Liyan's lost and helpless gaze, Su Xian'er felt a pang of pain in her heart. "Yes, I'm sorry..."
Before Gu Liyan could say anything, Su Xian'er patted his shoulder with a sympathetic look, "I didn't know you had amnesia! I'm so sorry, I brought up something that hurt you!"
Gu Liyan couldn't help but twitch his lips...
Who has lost their memory?!
Why does he seem a little confused?!
Gu Liyan looked at Su Xian'er, unsure of what to say.
"Don't worry, you saved my life, so I have an obligation to take responsibility for you!" Su Xian'er said seriously, "I'll cure your illness!"
Gu Liyan's face darkened: Sure enough, this girl is very mischievous!
Just as Gu Liyan was about to explain to her, his expression suddenly changed, and a burning heat rose within him, instantly turning his face rosy.
"Damn it, of all times..." Gu Liyan glanced at Su Xian'er, then turned and hurriedly ran out of the room.
"Hey! You don't have to be so shy, do you?" Su Xian'er frowned, looking puzzled, and wanted to catch up with him to see how he was doing.
Gu Liyan hurriedly ran back to the ice cellar, stuffed ice blocks into his mouth, and began to swallow them repeatedly.
The ice melted quickly in my mouth, and the icy water flowed into my lungs, but it still couldn't extinguish the burning sensation in my body.
"Damn it! Why did it have to happen in front of her!" Gu Liyan kept swallowing ice cubes. At this moment, all he wanted was to recover as quickly as possible so that he could spend more time with Su Xian'er!
Seeing Gu Liyan disappear into the ice cellar, Su Xian'er stood at the door and called out worriedly, "Hey! You're in there, aren't you?"
Upon hearing Su Xian'er's voice, Gu Liyan hurriedly said, "No, don't come in!"
Hearing Gu Liyan's hoarse voice, Su Xian'er couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Little brother, are you alright?"
"I, I'm fine..." Gu Liyan frowned, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. At this moment, all the meridians in his body felt like they were about to burst, causing him unbearable pain.
Hearing Gu Liyan's weak voice, Su Xian'er walked in with a question in her mind.
Hearing Su Xian'er's footsteps, Gu Liyan shouted anxiously, "Don't come in!"
Su Xian'er paused, sensing that Gu Liyan's aura was a bit off, and quickly ran in.
The ice cellar was built like a small castle sculpted from ice. Everything in the not-too-large ice cellar was made of ice.
“This, here…” Su Xian’er trembled slightly, as if such a scene had appeared in her memory before.
Su Xian'er trembled all over, tears streaming down her face. She didn't understand why the decorations looked so familiar, nor did she understand why she felt such heartache!
Gu Liyan saw a flash of light on Su Xian'er's body. Upon seeing this, Gu Liyan hurriedly stepped forward and covered Su Xian'er's eyes, gently saying, "Silly girl! Don't think about it, don't think about anything!"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Su Xian'er became somewhat drowsy and gradually lost interest in the arrangements here...
Gu Liyan's expression was solemn. He did not want Su Xian'er's soul to awaken and recall the past life-and-death separation. He wanted her to forget all the painful memories forever!
That kind of pain is best left for you to remember alone!
Gu Liyan gritted her teeth, sweat streaming down her face, and finally, unable to bear the burning pain any longer, screamed, "Ah—!"
A scream shattered Su Xian'er's dazed state. Beside her, Gu Liyan collapsed to the ground with a thud, his body curled up in a ball, his face flushed red with bulging veins, sweat dripping down his face and onto the floor. He groaned in pain, "Ugh—"
"You... what's wrong with you?" Su Xian'er was too frightened to approach him when she saw him like this.
Gu Liyan trembled with pain all over his body. Seeing Su Xian'er pale with fright, he couldn't bear it. He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Get out!"
Gu Liyan's eyes were no longer purple, but crimson. Looking into his eyes and hearing his commands, Su Xian'er was startled and stood frozen in place.
"What are you standing there for! Get out of here!" Gu Liyan's voice trembled, and his teeth were grinding together.
