Black Memory

Time passed and things changed. When Su Yanxi landed again, he appeared in a world that looked somewhat ancient.

The corridor was covered with expensive red velvet carpet and surrounded by valuable paintings. The floor-to-ceiling windows at regular intervals projected Su Yanxi's shadow through the night.

Her height was cut in half, and she was wearing a gorgeous evening gown with a crinoline fixed at the waist that was very tight.

She pinched her cheeks and confirmed that she had turned back into her childhood appearance. She couldn't remember whether she was eleven or twelve, or fifteen or sixteen.

She had no memory of appearing in the palace so late at night. It seemed that this was already Shen Yunian's memory world.

Since we want to wake up Shen Yunian, the most urgent thing is to find where Shen Yunian is.

At this age, Shen Yunian should still be the eldest prince of the royal family.

Su Yanxi walked through the palace. Perhaps because it was a world of memories, he did not see any patrolling guards along the way. He walked freely and did not even see a single person.

He searched everywhere that Shen Yunian might be, but he couldn't find him until he passed by the hall where the emperor and ministers held meetings.

He knelt politely in the center of the hall. Above him sat the young emperor and empress, and some nobles whose names could not be remembered stood.

Su Yanxi quickly hid behind a thick pillar, slightly poked his head out, and observed the situation inside the hall.

All I heard was the Queen saying, "Alas, it's because of different bloodlines after all. The bloodline of commoners is lowly, which led to Xiaonian's transformation into a beast. From now on, let Xiaonian go out as little as possible! It's not good for people to find out."

If the queen was compassionate, then the emperor's words seemed to sentence Shen Yunian to death: "Go out less? Going out less won't solve this problem!"

"For the entire royal family, this is a huge scandal. If it gets out, I can't bear the accusation of impure royal blood! Shen Yunian, do you know that because of this incident, you will become a sinner of the entire royal family!"

Shen Yunian hung his head and didn't react.

Su Yanxi was a little angry. Beast transformation is a disease. What does it have to do with Shen Yunian? Is being sick a sin?

However, in the royal family, being sick was a sin.

After the emperor vented his anger at little Shen Yunian, he made the final decision: "Send him away and never let him appear in the imperial city again."

The Queen said nothing more, but only asked, "How should we tell the outside world?"

"Just say that the eldest prince was abducted by the rebels and his whereabouts are unknown." The emperor had already thought of a countermeasure.

This incident is a good opportunity to wipe out the rebels.

"This is your last responsibility as a descendant of the royal family. It means that I have not raised you in vain." The emperor said to Shen Yunian condescendingly.

The Queen sighed, "I'm afraid your little lover's heart is about to be broken."

Hearing this, the emperor sneered.

"She should feel honored that her son can contribute to the empire."

The two of them chatted back and forth, with no one else able to interrupt. Once the matter was settled, the emperor left. He had more state affairs to attend to tomorrow, so the Empress decided where to go with Xiao Shen Yunian.

"Take him away," said the Queen.

"Take it back to the yard, ma'am?"

"Well, let's put him in the solitary confinement room, to prevent any accidents. Someone will take him away tomorrow."

The Queen was in a good mood.

Finally, she no longer had to show her kindness by keeping the annoying illegitimate child around, and the anger that had been pent up in her heart for a long time finally eased.

Although this illegitimate child has turned into a beast, the queen is still very afraid of his super high mental power that broke the interstellar record in the empire. No one knows whether there will be any potion that can cure bestiality in the future. Therefore, this illegitimate child should be thrown as far away as possible.

It's best to be a place that is forgotten by everyone.

Cinnabar Star is good.

Since your mental power is so high, it’s a good idea to go mining to avoid wasting it.

Shen Yunian was taken away. The queen didn't even give him a glance, but suddenly said, "Please bring out the little lady."

Su Yanxi was about to hide when she was startled by these words.

Without giving her time to prepare, three maids surrounded her and "invited" her out without any question.

"Xixi shouldn't be here at this time!" The queen casually fiddled with her long golden nails.

Su Yanxi had no choice but to lie, "The Second Prince invited me to come and play. I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I got lost."

"Really?" The queen stared at Su Yanxi for a while. Just when Su Yanxi thought she would ask Shen Zhe to reconcile the accounts, the queen relaxed.

"Don't be so careless next time. What happened tonight..."

"I didn't see anything." Su Yanxi retorted.

The Queen likes Su Yanxi's tact very much.

"Take her down to rest." The queen said to the maid beside her.

Su Yanxi didn't expect that she could get away with it so easily. She made an excuse to get rid of the maid and walked towards the confinement room.

There were guards around the solitary confinement room, so Su Yanxi couldn't get close, so he had to hide in the bushes not far away and watch.

It would be impossible to meet Shen Yunian today, and I can only wait for an opportunity tomorrow. However, the Queen only said that someone would come to send Shen Yunian away tomorrow, and did not say the specific time. In order not to miss Shen Yunian's departure, Su Yanxi seemed to have no choice but to stay in the bushes in the cold dew for one night.

Su Yanxi: In the end, I ended up living a miserable life.

The night was cold and dewy, but Su Yanxi still fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, he was awakened by a muffled roar.

"A-choo!" Su Yanxi sneezed twice in a row, and the hairs on his body stood up, which was a sign of a cold.

She sniffed and shuddered, and saw Shen Yunian being held down by two guards and boarding a small spaceship from the confinement room.

Seeing that the guard was about to start the spaceship, Su Yanxi rushed out and stopped the guard.

"Wait a minute!" she shouted.

The guards looked at her strangely. Everyone knew this princess who was reserved by the royal family. She shouldn't be here at this time.

"Do you have any instructions?" asked the guard.

Su Yanxi used Shen Zhe as a cover again, "The Second Prince has something to tell my brother, so he can't come. He asked me to have a few words with Shen Yunian."

The guards looked at each other and stepped aside, leaving a space for Su Yanxi.

Su Yanxi was a little embarrassed, "Can you guys stay away from me?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, then walked to a place not far from the spaceship, leaving Su Yanxi alone.

Su Yanxi took the opportunity to enter the spaceship and immediately saw the silent Shen Yunian. He sat in the back seat with a blank look in his eyes, as if he didn't notice that there was an extra person in the small space. Su Yanxi walked up to him and greeted her, but he didn't even change his posture.

This little Shen Yunian is completely different from the Shen Yunian who responded to everything Su Yanxi had contact with.

"Why are you ignoring me?" Su Yanxi was frustrated and felt a little depressed.

However, she didn't worry too much about it. After all, they had made contact. What she had to do now was to find a place to hide and leave here with Shen Yunian.

Su Yanxi stared at the backrest of Shen Yunian's seat. There was a space behind the backrest that was neither too big nor too small. It was originally a trunk for luggage, but Shen Yunian didn't have much luggage, so that position was empty, just enough to accommodate one person.

She patted Shen Yunian, “Hey, stand up.”

Shen Yunian gave Su Yanxi his first response since they met. He glanced at her and then stood up obediently.

Su Yanxi folded the seat back, got in, and urged Shen Yunian: “Open the backrest, hurry up!”

Shen Yunian didn't know what this little noble lady wanted to do, but she still helped complete this ridiculous task.

After waiting for a long time, the guards finally returned to the spaceship. Seeing that only Shen Yunian was in the cabin, they cursed, "They left without even telling us. These ladies are so arrogant! They made us wait for so long in vain!"

"Forget it, forget it. We just need to send the person away."

After setting the route, the guard presses the start button and the spacecraft can drive automatically to the destination.

The cabin door closed, and a small private spaceship took off from the palace and flew into the dark universe.

"Chen Yunian! Are you a fool? Why don't you let me out!" Su Yanxi patted the back of the chair.

With a click, the back of the chair opened, and through the dim light in the cabin, Su Yanxi met Shen Yunian's gaze.

A hint of confusion appeared on his face, which was originally neither sad nor happy.

After Su Yanxi climbed out of the trunk, the two sat side by side, and Shen Yunian asked, "Do you know what you are doing?"

His voice was a little hoarse, because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Ever since his transformation into a beast was discovered, he has been facing the world in silence.

If his record-breaking mental power level pushed him to the throne of the chosen one, then the beast transformation dragged him down from the sky into the mud.

But now, compared to being exiled to an unknown planet, he was more shocked by the sudden addition of a companion.

"I know." Su Yanxi lay on the driver's seat, looking at the scenery of the universe curiously.

"I was exiled." Shen Yunian said.

"oh."

"This is not a joke." Shen Yunian's dark pupils locked on Su Yanxi, "Once you get on the boat, you can't get off."

"Um."

Shen Yunian was so angry at Su Yanxi's carefree look that he couldn't help but make arrangements for this silly little noblewoman: "If you want to go back now, you can use the smart brain to contact your father, and he will send someone to pick you up."

"Yeah, you reminded me!"

Shen Yunian saw Su Yanxi pull open his sleeves, revealing a silver intelligent brain.

His eyes shrank unconsciously, but his heart was calm.

It turned out to be the playful mind of the little noble lady.

Annoying.

Are she and Shen Zhe playing hide-and-seek? She disappeared, and many people are looking for her again, just like last time.

It seems like many people are always worried about her, unlike him...

Little Shen Yunian lowered his eyes and pursed his lips tightly.

He heard the ventilation sound of garbage disposal and his gaze returned to Su Yanxi.

In an instant, he saw Su Yanxi's smooth and delicate wrist, where there was an intelligent computer.

With the disappearance of the intelligent brain and the open exhaust vent, Shen Yunian could guess what happened with his toes.

But he still couldn't help asking, "Did you throw away the intelligent brain?"

"Yes, so they can't find me!"

Su Yanxi said sorry to her parents in her heart.

After all, this is not reality. She came here with a mission and must follow Shen Yunian to find a way to wake him up.

Shen Yunian fell silent after hearing this.

Even quieter than at the beginning.

I don't know how long it was before he asked, "Why are you following me?"

This question stumped Su Yanxi.

The Shen Yunian in front of her seemed to be a child, completely unaware of what would happen when she grew up. For a while, she couldn't find a suitable reason to approach him.

"Do you like me?"

There was a hint of mockery in his voice, but Su Yanxi responded with a smile, his eyes shining.

"That's right! It's because I like you! I fell in love with you at first sight!"

Shen Yunian was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "So, does it count as elopement now?"

"yes!"

Shen Yunian carefully and seriously scanned Su Yanxi's face bit by bit, and he didn't look like he liked it at all.

She looked relaxed and not shy at all. She looked as comfortable as if she was going on a picnic with a dog, and definitely not like she was eloping with someone she loved.

However, Shen Yunian didn't want to expose her.

There is no surplus value in him anymore, so if she wants to follow him, then she can follow him. I'm just afraid that when the time comes, she will be the one crying and making a fuss about wanting to leave the most.

If she throws away the intelligent computer, no one will come to save her.

*

The spacecraft soon arrived at Cinnabar Star.

The mine owner, Chen Chang, had already received notice that a teenage boy would be exiled there in the near future and would be forced to do the dirtiest and most tiring work.

Chen Chang did not comment on this, but it was just that a teenager who didn't even know whether he could work or not, yet was doing the hardest and most tiring work, was probably not going to live to adulthood.

What a waste of food!

When the spaceship arrived, two people got off.

A taciturn little boy and a gorgeously dressed girl.

Chen Chang:?

Chen Chang cursed inwardly, "Buy one get one free? And they didn't explain it clearly!"

Since the two people came together, Chen Chang arranged them according to the same standards.

"Manager Zhang, I'll leave them to you."

Su Yanxi looked at the younger version of the mine owner and Zhang, the person in charge, and felt it was magical.

"Follow me." Person in charge Zhang is now a serious young man who never smiles.

Person in charge Zhang took the two men to a low-level mining area. Black ash filled the air. He casually pointed to a cave and left.

The two young children entering the mining area attracted the attention of many miners. However, everyone was busy with the work at hand, and this curiosity soon disappeared with the backs of the two children.

No one even came forward to talk to them. After all, these two half-grown children didn't look like they could endure hardship and might die any day.

Shen Yunian entered one of the caves and was about to close the door, but when he turned around, he found that Su Yanxi had been following him.

"Is there anything else?" Shen Yunian asked.

Su Yanxi smiled obediently.

Now this low-level mining area is so different from what she remembered. Without the system bonus, she is a little scared.

"That cave is too far away." Su Yanxi looked in the direction of the cave that should have belonged to her.

"Just lock the door. It's an iron door, very sturdy." Shen Yunian said.

"How do you know it's strong? What if someone sees us and comes to bully us?!" Su Yanxi insisted on sticking together.

Shen Yunian found it funny.

What do you mean by bullying us? She must be worried that she will be bullied!

On second thought, this possibility is not impossible.

The girl in front of him was fair, soft and tender, spotless all over, and exuding an ethereal air. She was totally out of place in this dirty and chaotic place. Who wouldn't want to bully her when seeing her?

"Come in." Shen Yunian opened the door.

Su Yanxi successfully entered Chen Yunian's cave. Everything was exactly the same as the current cave, except that it was a little simpler and covered in dust. It looked like no one had lived there for a long time.

After a long journey, Shen Yunian was very tired, and he lay down directly on the stone bed without caring whether it was dusty or not.

"Hey!" Su Yanxi's eyes widened. "It's so dirty. Besides, this stone is cold and hard. How can I sleep on it?!"

Shen Yunian just closed his eyes, then opened them again, stared at the young lady for a while, turned over and sat up: "Trouble!"

As soon as he sat up, a human figure was imprinted on the stone bed. There was a lot of dust on the gray shirt. Su Yanxi found it very annoying, but he just put up with it.

"Brush off the dust." Su Yanxi couldn't help but say.

Shen Yunian fiddled with it a few times perfunctorily and walked out of the cave.

"What are you going to do?" Su Yanxi wondered.

"Wait." Shen Yunian said this and disappeared.

Su Yanxi had no choice but to wait for him to come back in the cave. Although she knew that this was an illusory world, she still felt uneasy and a little scared, so she closed the iron door.

I looked around but couldn't find a clean place to stay.

Su Yanxi sighed resignedly, gritted her teeth, tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of her favorite skirt, wiped the stone slab clean with water from the small bathroom, and then sat on the stone slab waiting for Chen Yunian.

It's easy to have wild thoughts when you're alone. Chen Yunian didn't come back for a long time, so long that Su Yanxi guessed that he didn't want to care about her because he thought she was troublesome. Then Chen Yunian came back with a lot of things.

A stove, a blanket, two mats, and a few containers to store things.

The stove was a bit shabby, the blanket was thin and worn, and the cushions looked familiar...

"Isn't this the seat on the spaceship?" Su Yanxi hesitated to speak.

Watching Shen Yunian put the mat on the stone bed, Su Yanxi asked: “Did you exchange these things for the spaceship?”

"Um."

Su Yanxi was shocked.

She admired Shen Yunian's decisiveness. If it were someone else, they might have kept guarding the spaceship, after all, it was the only hope of leaving, but he traded the spaceship away easily.

But she had to admit that Shen Yunian's approach was right. In this unfamiliar place, the good things in her hands might not be kept. It would be better to exchange them as soon as possible and get something in return to improve her current living conditions.

However, he didn't seem to have thought about exchanging supplies at first, and it seemed that the stove, mat, and blanket were only exchanged because she said they were cold and hard.

If he were alone, he didn't seem to need so many warm items.

Su Yanxi's face turned a little red.

In a flash, Shen Yunian made the bed and paused where he was, as if thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Su Yanxi looked at the drastically changed stone bed and couldn't help but sit on it, not noticing that Shen Yunian's brows were furrowed even tighter.

The smile on the young lady's face was very annoying.

She seemed to assume that these were all prepared for her.

Although it was exactly as she thought, Shen Yunian was a little depressed.

"I'm wondering who should sleep on the floor," he said.

As soon as these words came out, the little noble lady's face froze, and seeing her shocked and worried about sleeping on the floor, Shen Yunian's mood improved again.

There is no difference between the floor and the slate bed, it doesn't matter where you sleep.

"Actually, this bed is very big and can sleep two people."

Shen Yunian raised his eyebrows, as if he had not expected the delicate little noble lady to make such a suggestion.

"Really? If you don't believe me, you can try it." Su Yanxi said.

Of course Shen Yunian believed it. Since the young lady didn't mind, he didn't mind even more. He turned over and lay on the other side.

The seat cushion was too soft, and Shen Yunian was not very comfortable sleeping.

Only young ladies like this kind of thing that becomes concave when you sleep on it.

Sleepiness came quickly. In a daze, he heard Su Yanxi calling him twice, then she rustled onto the bed and lay gently not far from him.

He was clearly very sleepy just now, but now he couldn't fall asleep while lying in bed. He didn't fall asleep until the breathing of the person next to him gradually slowed down.

Shen Yunian lay flat on his back in annoyance, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, and caught a glimpse of a bulging ball in the quilt from the corner of his eye.

Su Yanxi's blanket was covering her head, and her whole body was teetering on the edge of the bed, giving Shen Yunian the illusion that she would fall at any time.

After thinking for a moment, he lifted the quilt and reached out to grab her. Unexpectedly, the girl rolled into his arms like a small stone, with her face pressed directly against his chest. The distance was so close that he could see her long and curled eyelashes clearly.

Shen Yunian's hands hung helplessly in the air.

Su Yanxi was sleeping soundly, with no intention of waking up at all.

The gentle breathing sound beside his ears soothed his inner turmoil. He tucked in the quilt and closed his eyes.

Forget it, I won’t push her away.

The sky was as dark as ink.

While sleeping, Su Yanxi felt that her face was about to be flattened.

I opened my eyes blearily, and when I looked up, I saw a clear jawline.

???

Realizing the current situation, she suddenly woke up and lost all sleepiness.

She didn't know when it started, but the two of them started sleeping in each other's arms. She could clearly hear his steady and strong heartbeat.

Su Yanxi pushed tentatively, but the other person's hand on her waist did not move at all.

In this situation, if Shen Yunian was woken up, it would definitely be very embarrassing.

Su Yanxi thought to herself, since their sleeping position changed into a hug, maybe if she continued sleeping, their position would return to its original position?

That makes sense!

So, Su Yanxi happily got a warm natural oven and coaxed herself to continue sleeping.

The next day, when Su Yanxi woke up, she was the only one in the bed, and Shen Yunian was nowhere to be found.

She got out of bed and asked an old neighbor, only to find out that he had gone to work with the miners.

Su Yanxi didn't know where Shen Yunian went to mine, and she didn't dare to go mining alone, so she waited in the cave angrily for the whole morning.

When Shen Yunian came back, she immediately asked, "Why didn't you call me for mining?"

He was so angry, like a puffer fish with its hair standing on end.

Shen Yunian handed the meal he had brought back from the mining area cafeteria to Su Yanxi and said, "I forgot."

"Let's go together in the afternoon." Su Yanxi said

"good."

In the afternoon, Shen Yunian took Su Yanxi with him, got a pickaxe and a basket, and went to the place where they had been mining in the morning to continue digging.

He dug very quickly and soon filled the bottom of the basket. The young lady beside him followed his pace at first, but later she slowed down. When he had almost finished digging, he looked up and found that the young lady was gritting her teeth and holding on.

"Stop digging." Shen Yunian pursed his lips.

Tears welled up in Su Yanxi's eyes.

"I didn't want to dig, but they said we had to dig a hundred black crystals or we'd be beaten."

She doesn't have a mining system now, she is just an ordinary person, so she understands how difficult it is to mine a hundred ores.

Mining has never been an easy task.

You don't know when you will be able to dig up ore, nor do you know whether there is ore in the direction you are digging. All of this increases the difficulty of the task of digging one hundred ores.

Seeing that Su Yanxi hadn't stopped yet, Shen Yunian grabbed her wrist and took the pickaxe from her hand.

Su Yanxi looked at Shen Yunian with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of astonishment.

"I'll dig it." Shen Yunian said.

The neither-light-nor-heavy strength on the wrist, coupled with a somewhat mature roughness, made Su Yanxi feel instantly at ease.

When she knew she really had to work as a coolie and dig a hundred pieces of minerals, she really wanted to back off.

As far as she was concerned, she would never be able to complete the task. If Shen Yunian was not awakened by then, she would have to die first and be beaten to death in this dark mine.

Shen Yunian was willing to help, which made Su Yanxi feel relieved, but at the same time, she couldn't help but worry about him.

In this way, he was almost completing the task of two people by himself, because because of her appearance, Shen Yunian had to endure double the suffering.

Could she really wake him up?

Su Yanxi squatted on the side, holding his chin and watching Shen Yunian without raising his head. He kept digging and digging like a ruthless mining machine, and the ore in the basket increased visibly.

Seeing the water beads oozing from his forehead, she felt very uncomfortable.

When weighing the crystal ore, Su Yanxi discovered that Shen Yunian had completed the task in the morning and had been helping her complete the task since the beginning of the afternoon.

So from the beginning, he expected that she would not be able to dig so much ore, and from the beginning, he planned to dig out her share.

Su Yanxi couldn't explain how he felt.

On the way back to the cave after receiving the meal, Su Yanxi couldn't help but say:

“Shen Yunian, am I stupid?”

For the first time in her life, the proud young lady doubted herself.

After digging two hundred mines, Shen Yunian replied as if nothing had happened: "Everyone has something they are not good at."

These words gave the lost Su Yanxi a sudden epiphany.

That makes sense, she's not good at mining.

But she is good at agronomy!

Moreover, she knew the location of wheat and grapes, so maybe she could find some more edible things.

Su Yanxi had a bold idea in his mind.

While eating, she pushed the batter to Shen Yunian while constantly thinking about it. She felt that she could try to find those foods. Even if she didn't eat them herself, she could exchange them for something good.

"Shen Yunian, eat more." Shen Yunian's help is needed for this plan.

"I have a bold idea!"

"Tomorrow I want to go out for a walk and see if I can find anything useful." Su Yanxi couldn't say it too bluntly. After all, she was still just a kid who hadn't even started college yet. However, after being so euphemistic, it sounded like she was trying to be lazy. She then said, "I don't mean to be lazy, it's just..."

"I know." Shen Yunian drank two servings of batter without hesitation, "You can just go ahead and do it."

When he spoke, he didn't even raise his eyes, and Su Yanxi saw the shadow of Shen Yunian in the future from him for no reason.

He seemed to have always been very tolerant of her, agreeing with her in everything, just like... a loyal little brother!

Su Yanxi was so touched! She almost promised to hang out with her sister and protect her in the future! She was mainly afraid that the banditry would scare Shen Yunian.

If she was going out to explore the woods, she definitely couldn't wear a cumbersome dress. Su Yanxi set her eyes on Shen Yunian's clothes.

Would she be beaten to death if she asked Shen Yunian to wear a skirt?

"What do you want? Just say it." Shen Yunian saw through her little thoughts.

"There are a lot of snakes, rats, insects and ants in the woods. I need to protect myself. My skirt is not convenient. Can I borrow your clothes?" Su Yanxi asked embarrassedly.

Shen Yunian seemed to be surprised as well, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Okay."

"Eh? Why is your face so red? Are you too tired today?"

"Um."

"Or I should go mining. At least I can dig a little."

"No, I'll wash the clothes and I can wear them tomorrow."

"Oh, okay, you really don't need me to go mining?"

"Um."

A dreamless night.

When he woke up again, Shen Yunian went out early again like yesterday. Su Yanxi changed into Shen Yunian's clothes and pants, took a small blanket, and went to explore the woods as planned.

With his familiarity with the woods, Su Yanxi quickly found the location of the wheat. The timing was just right, as the wheat at this location had just matured, but the scale was not as large as it would be later.

Su Yanxi spent the entire morning collecting wheat ears. His fingers were sore from pinching them, but he had only managed to pick a quarter of them.

Wrapping herself in a blanket, Su Yanxi calculated the time to go home. Shen Yunian had already returned from mining and was waiting for her in the cave.

"Chen Yunian! Look! This is something good I found!" Su Yanxi ran over happily, and when she got closer, she quietly and excitedly opened the blanket to show Shen Yunian.

"Eh? Why are you dressed like this?"

I saw that Shen Yunian's upper body was empty and his lower body was wrapped in animal skin.

Su Yanxi fanned herself to cool down her flushed face.

At such a young age, Shen Yunian already has a very attractive figure.

Shen Yunian didn't speak for a long time, and she realized that his face looked a little bad.

"What's wrong with you? Did something bad happen to you?" Su Yanxi suppressed her smile.

"No." Shen Yunian pinched a wheat ear and asked, "What is this?"

"This is wheat. When it dries, grind it into powder and use it to make pancakes!" Su Yanxi was very excited when talking about what he was good at, and put the doubts just now behind him.

"Very good, but come back earlier next time."

"Okay, I don't know the time either, I just come here according to the weather. Next time I come back late, you don't have to wait for me to eat. You can leave the food there and I will come back to eat." Su Yanxi said.

Shen Yunian: “…”

In the afternoon, Su Yanxi harvested another quarter. In the evening, at Shen Yunian's strong request, the two of them went out together, harvested all the wheat ears overnight, and then dried them on the spot.

"Oh, I even brought the wheat ears back this morning. I wish I had known I would have saved my energy! It would be great to dry them here! I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow."

"Um."

Looking at the spread of wheat ears, Su Yanxi stretched happily and said to Shen Yunian with emotion: "It's a pity that there is too little wheat here."

The two of them returned to the cave together and lay on the bed. Only then did Su Yanxi realize how cold the air was without the blanket.

She was shivering with cold and was just thinking of something else to distract herself when a strong arm suddenly pulled her over and she fell into a warm embrace.

With his head pressing on Shen Yunian's chin and his back against his warm chest, his whole body suddenly felt warm, or it would be more appropriate to say hot.

Su Yanxi's body was stiff, not daring to move, for fear of revealing that he was not asleep.

But Shen Yunian had to touch her bottom line, "Are you still cold?"

Su Yanxi hesitated for a long time, wondering whether to continue pretending to sleep. He hesitated until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled, and things changed, but in reality, only a few minutes had passed.

The longer it dragged on, the harder it was to answer, so she said, "It's not cold anymore."

In fact, she felt that the right thing to do at this moment should be to give Shen Yunian a big slap, but another idea was rampant.

They are all children, and their understanding of hugging is very different from that of adults.

He simply felt that this was not cold.

If two people snuggle up to each other, they won’t feel cold. This is the most direct thought of children.

Su Yanxi thought, since it wasn't really cold anymore, she didn't want to suffer any hardship.

Close your eyes! Go to sleep! Do it tomorrow!

On a new day, Su Yanxi went to the wheat field to check on the wheat first. He was surprised to find that a new crop of wheat had grown in the wheat field overnight and it had even entered the harvest period.

Su Yanxi:!!

If it weren't for the blanket still full of wheat ears, she would have suspected that she had not finished the harvest.

As this magical thing happened, she suddenly remembered that this was not the real world and that deviations in plant growth cycles were normal.

Thinking that there would be an endless supply of wheat to eat in the future, Su Yanxi was almost overjoyed!

Afterwards, she went to where the grapes were. She remembered that there were snakes there, so she walked very carefully and thought twice before taking every step. Finally, she picked a small pocket of grapes and went back.

When Shen Yunian came back, Su Yanxi gave him the washed grapes to eat, and then told him about the new discovery.

"The wheat is growing again! A new crop of wheat grows every day, and I'll never complain about not having enough wheat again! And here are some grapes, so sweet and sour, so delicious!"

Looking at Su Yanxi's curved eyebrows, Shen Yunian's brows showed a hint of tenderness.

"Is it tasty?"

"tasty."

Unfortunately, life won’t always be this peaceful.

On the day off that Su Yanxi set for herself, she followed Shen Yunian to the mining area. On the way, she met a man lying on the road, dying. His body was covered with bloodstains. She didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Su Yanxi glanced at the man's face. His face was still very childish and looked younger than them.

Neither she nor Shen Yunian was the type to meddle in other people's business, so they went about mining according to the procedures.

This time, the quiet mine was filled with gossip.

"These parents are inhuman! They let such a young child out to fend for himself! How could such a child possibly complete the mission? I'm afraid he'll be beaten to death by the captain!"

"That is to say, if you can't afford to raise a child, don't have one!"

"Poor Stone!"

Su Yanxi helped Shen Yunian pick up minerals, listened out of boredom, and grasped the key word "stone".

She was shocked.

Could that be the sunken stone?

Su Yanxi looked at Shen Yunian. He had no other emotions towards the stone.

Logically speaking, Shitou should not die and he will be saved by a kind-hearted person.

Su Yanxi watched for two days, and Shitou woke up. He leaned against the wall sickly, huddled in the corner, dying.

It looked like no one was willing to save him.

Su Yanxi guessed that it was probably Shen Yunian who saved Shitou before.

But the key point is now, Shen Yunian passed by Shi Tou without even giving him an extra glance, as if it was unlikely that he would save him.

If Shen Yunian lost his only friend in his memory, could he still be awakened?

Su Yanxi didn’t know, but it was better not to let this kind of change happen.

One time when passing by Shi Tou, Su Yanxi couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Shi Tou suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Yunian's ankle.

"Help me."

A pitiful and humble call.

Su Yanxi took the opportunity to suggest: "Otherwise, let's save him."

Su Yanxi knew how unreasonable her request was. Chen Shi was obviously unable to mine. To save Chen Shi, not only would she have to provide him with a place to recuperate, but she would also have to mine more.

The key point is that because of Su Yanxi, Shen Yunian is already doing the work of two people. If Shen Shi is added, Shen Yunian will have to do the work of three people.

Even an indestructible body cannot withstand such behavior!

But if Chen Shi died because of her misfortune, she would feel that she was too inhumane.

"good."

For the first time ever, Shen Yunian did not refuse.

Su Yanxi felt very uncomfortable.

Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder whether she was here to wake up Shen Yunian or to cause trouble for him.

After bringing Chen Shi back to the cave, Shen Yunian threw him on the floor to die.

From now on, Shen Yunian gets up early and goes to bed late every day. He completes his own tasks in the morning, Su Yanxi's tasks in the afternoon, and Shen Shi's tasks in the evening, without a moment's rest.

Chenshi was also busy, grinding flour day and night, as if to prove his worth.

The one who is the most idle among the three is Su Yanxi.

Fortunately, Shen Yunian got a curtain from somewhere to separate the bed, so the image of Su Yanxi sleeping soundly behind the curtain was preserved.

As for food, Su Yanxi shared his batter with Chen Shi, and Grape made up for the shortfall in Shen Yunian's portion.

Fruits don't fill you up very well, and grapes are quite sour, which makes you hungry quickly. Su Yanxi thought, she urgently needs a pancake.

She quickly decided who to swap pot with, and that was Xiao Hai.

But now they are just little kids. Will the adults give Xiaohai such great authority?

As it turned out, Su Yanxi's worries were unnecessary.

Xiao Hai was not only young and spoiled by his parents, but also smart and rich. Su Yanxi only changed a pot, but Xiao Hai also added countless bottles and jars of daily necessities as gifts, and asked her to bring her more delicious food when she had one.

Su Yanxi smiled and said nothing.

After exchanging the things, she was definitely too lazy to bring food to exchange for other things, but she didn't expect that Xiao Hai had developed the ability to go to the mountain if there was no mountain, and he happily found Su Yanxi's cave to eat.

As soon as Shen Yunian came back, he found a stranger.

"Who is he?" Shen Yunian said with a gloomy face.

"Brother Nian, Sister Xi and I are friends."

Xiao Hai is very knowledgeable.

He is sweet-talker and many people in the mining area like him. It can be said that he is a popular person in the mining area.

However, Shen Yunian obviously didn't like him, and even after he greeted him, his face turned even darker.

"Friend?" Shen Yunian repeated, staring at Xiao Hai for a while, as if he wanted to see through him.

Xiao Hai felt confident, "Yes, Sister Xi's pancakes are so delicious!"

Su Yanxi explained: "He is the one who changed the pot for me."

"Yeah." Shen Yunian sat in his old seat, eating cake with a tense face.

Su Yanxi commented in his heart: It’s confirmed.

Xiao Hai ate with his mouth full of oil. In order to have the nerve to come for a free meal next time, he kept saying nice things to Su Yanxi, which made Su Yanxi very happy.

She knew it was exaggerated, but who doesn't like to hear good words?

After everyone had their fill, Xiao Hai left contentedly, holding his round belly. Before leaving, he said, "Sister Xi, tell me if you need any seasonings, and I'll get them for you!"

In this way, Su Yanxi would not feel uncomfortable with him coming to eat for free.

After Chen Shi finished eating, he also returned to his cave. His injuries were almost healed, and he could go mining with Shen Yunian recently.

However, Shen Yunian was a little strange. He hugged Su Yanxi tightly when he slept at night.

It was so tight that she couldn't breathe.

"Chen Yunian, please loosen up a bit, it's too tight."

After she said this, the iron-like arms still stubbornly circled her, and she couldn't help but slap them twice.

"I'm not cold, let go."

Shen Yunian remained indifferent.

Su Yanxi struggled in vain and gave up.

I don't know what Shen Yunian was thinking. When she was half asleep, he suddenly said, "You always call me when you need me, and kick me away when you don't need me, right?"

This dark remark immediately drove away Su Yanxi's sleepiness.

Although, she did not refuse Shen Yunian to hug her because she was cold, and Shen Yunian hugged her every day afterwards, she thought that they were just children anyway, so she didn't feel comfortable refusing. She just took the opportunity to test him a little today, and didn't ask him strongly not to hug her. Could this also be labeled as "kicked after use"?

This kind of dark and extreme thinking is definitely not what little Shen Yunian should have, it is definitely the real Shen Yunian.

So he woke up?

Su Yanxi shouted uncertainly: “Shen Yunian, is that you?”

"Um."

He didn't say anything extra. Su Yanxi felt that if it was the real Chen Yunian, he would have let her go consciously.

So which Shen Yunian is this? Or has he just woken up for a moment?

Su Yanxi didn't want to care about it anymore. What was important now was that Ren Chen Yunian changed his bad habit of always holding someone while sleeping!

"Chen Yunian, have you ever heard of the saying that men and women should not touch each other?"

"No."

Shen Yunian decisively blocked Su Yanxi's mouth with two words.

However, she must explain this clearly.

"That is, boys and girls generally can't have intimate contact unless they are married, do you understand?"

"I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep."

Shen Yunian rested his chin on Su Yanxi's head and said in a muffled voice.

Then, no matter how Su Yanxi called him, he kept silent.

This stubborn state gave Su Yanxi a headache.

He must understand, but he just pretends not to.

Do you have to take advantage of her? Shen Yunian was a bad boy at a young age, no wonder he became so bad when he grew up!

If it weren't for the fact that he was a child, she would have taught him a lesson with her fists!

However, the next day, she found the adult version of Shen Yunian in bed.

When you wake up, the impact of waking up with a boy in your bed is different than waking up with a man.

The former can still be free of distractions, but the latter is like a ferocious beast invading the territory, with such a strong presence that it cannot be ignored at all.

As Shen Yunian grew older, his animal ears became more and more obvious, emerging from his hair.

Su Yanxi resisted the urge to pull his hair and woke up Shen Yunian.

"What happened? Chen Yunian, why did we suddenly grow up?" Su Yanxi asked.

Shen Yunian seemed even more confused than her. He pushed her back to the bed, hugged her in his arms, and said affectionately, "Xixi, what are you talking about? Did you have a nightmare?"

It was so natural that Su Yanxi could just think that they were supposed to be like this.

However, the last person who called Su Yanxi that was her cheap fiancé.

Shen Yunian had never called her that before, he seemed to call her Miss often.

Calling her Xixi now makes her get goosebumps all over her body.

"Chen Yunian, wait! Don't you think it's inappropriate for us to do this?"

Shen Yunian opened his eyelids and looked at Su Yanxi lazily, "What's inappropriate?"

"That's too close! Besides, aren't you going to mine so early in the morning?"

"But, we are husband and wife. We have done more intimate things. It's just a hug."

Su Yanxi's brain froze, and she didn't know whether to react first to the first half of the sentence "We are husband and wife" or the second half "We have done things that are closer to each other."

She didn't understand why Shen Yunian added such a strange setting to her memory?

"When are you going mining?" Su Yanxi changed the subject.

She needed to sort out what had happened recently and think carefully about how to wake up Shen Yunian.

If this continues, the world will become unrecognizable.

Perhaps because she was preoccupied with something, she accidentally tore her pants while exploring the woods, damaging her equipment. She had to end her trip for the day and return empty-handed.

Fortunately, when she got home, she took off her pants to see how to make up for it. Shen Yunian's clothes were long enough, so she didn't have to worry about exposing herself.

After staring at her pants for a long time, she had to accept a sad fact.

In this remote corner where everyone wrapped themselves in a piece of cloth, she couldn't find a needle and thread, so the pants were probably ruined.

When Shen Yunian returned to the cave, he saw the dejected young lady, wearing only a top that revealed her glowing white calves, and a pair of tattered pants hanging in the air.

At this moment, he was extremely aware that she was wearing his clothes.

Shen Yunian pressed against his lower back tooth socket.

When the young lady saw him, she said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, I ruined my pants!"

Only those who have experienced material scarcity can understand the serious consequences of damage to these small things.

Without pants, she probably couldn't continue walking through the woods, exposing her skin to the air, and she wouldn't know how she died.

Shen Yunian touched her head and said to her, "It's okay."

Then, before he even sat down to rest for a while, he turned around and went out again. After a while, he came back with a brand new pair of pants.

Su Yanxi should be happy.

But it was all too coincidental.

She ruined a pair of pants, and Shen Yunian could immediately get a new pair?

This is a remote mining planet with a shortage of supplies, not a capital planet where you can buy all kinds of daily necessities as soon as you go out.

Even if you can buy it, you will have to wait for a while, right?

Beneath all the absurd appearances, she discovered the truth that she had never paid attention to.

She felt that Shen Yunian seemed to be able to control this world of memory.

Yesterday, she had just told him that only husband and wife could have intimate contact, and today they became husband and wife.

In the past, she said there was too little wheat, so they only harvested one crop every day.

Including since entering the low-level mining area, everything has been too smooth, so smooth that, except for the experience of Chen Shi, Su Yanxi did not feel that there was anything dark about this memory except that it was a bit hard and tiring.

More seriously, wasn't his darkest time when he was exiled? He seemed to have recovered by then, but he still hasn't regained consciousness.

It turned out that Shen Yunian beautified all of this himself, so everything became so harmonious.

So, he probably regained consciousness a long time ago.

"Is it fun to lie to me like this? Shen Yunian!" Su Yanxi was a little ghostly.

She worked so hard here, racking her brains to think of how to wake him up. Because of the guilt in her heart, she risked her life to save him, including the fact that she had just spent a whole day reflecting on a pair of torn pants. To him, it seemed like a joke.

If this was just a revenge game he had planned out of boredom, then that would be the end of it.

"You know all this, right?" Su Yanxi revealed.

"Xixi, what are you talking about?"

"This is your memory world." Su Yanxi said, "You were exiled to Cinnabar Star alone, mined alone, and saved Shenshi alone. In fact, I never existed. I am an alien soul. In reality, we are not husband and wife, but just familiar strangers."

Maybe she should have made it clear to him from the beginning. Maybe he would have woken up earlier and they would have both gotten out of the black box by now.

Shen Yunian watched helplessly as the beautiful red lips spoke words he didn't like to hear.

"Xixi, you're not right." Shen Yunian's smile was replaced by a serious expression.

"Is it because you were too anxious about the pants issue that you started talking nonsense?"

“Shen Yunian…”

Shen Yunian didn't give Su Yanxi a chance to speak.

"Do you want to go back to the Su family? This is your smart brain, you can contact them."

He opened his palm, and inside was the intelligent computer that she had thrown into outer space long ago and should now be floating space garbage.

The surreal scene confirmed Su Yanxi's guess.

He can indeed manipulate the memory world.

Su Yanxi was so angry that she didn't want to talk.

Shen Yunian also noticed her mood changes, and her tone gradually became anxious.

"Were we fine before? Weren't we happy? Are you tired of living here?"

"Where do you want to go? The palace? The Su family? Other planets?"

Every time he mentioned a place, the scene around the two of them would change to the corresponding location.

There is irrefutable evidence that Shen Yunian manipulates memory.

"When did you regain consciousness?" Su Yanxi asked.

Her mood has calmed down.

"What do you mean by recovery? Xixi, I've always been like this. Are you angry?"

Shen Yunian was equally confused.

The innocent look on his face made Su Yanxi doubt his own judgment.

"Forget it, forget it! Let me ask you, since you can control the world of consciousness, can you sense that there is someone here who is exactly like you? Where is he?"

Shen Yunian thought for a moment and said, “It seems like there is one.”

"Where is he?"

Shen Yunian looked at the anxious Su Yanxi and kept silent.

"What's wrong?" Su Yanxi asked.

"He's sleeping." Shen Yunian said.

"Can you summon him out?" Su Yanxi asked.

What answered her was Shen Yunian's specific actions. Suddenly, a person appeared on the bed. Su Yanxi felt more familiar with that person. It was the Shen Yunian she knew.

Su Yanxi touched his nose.

I thought he had regained consciousness and hadn't told her for so long just to see her get humiliated and take revenge on her, but I didn't expect that he really hadn't woken up yet.

Now that the soul has been found, how to wake it up becomes a new problem.

Little Shen Yunian seemed to be aware of Su Yanxi's predicament and said, "Maybe he will wake up if he feels the stimulation from the outside world."

External stimulation?

Su Yanxi thought for a moment, rolled up her sleeves, raised her hand, and little Shen Yunian grabbed her wrist, preventing Shen Yunian from being slapped and beaten.

"It's not like that." Little Shen Yunian said, "Maybe you should give him some energy."

"Speak human language." Su Yanxi withdrew his hand in disappointment.

"Kiss him."

Su Yanxi stared at Xiao Shen Yunian suspiciously for a while, feeling something was wrong.

However, she couldn't think of any other solution for the time being, so she could only try this unreliable method.

"If he doesn't wake up, you're dead!"

After getting ready, Su Yanxi gently placed a kiss on the lips of the sleeping Shen Yunian.

There is nothing special about it, not even a sense of being alive.

It was like being touched by a piece of paper.

But surprisingly, Shen Yunian woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at Su Yanxi who was kissing him in shock.

That look was as if Su Yanxi was committing a crime.

"I can explain!" Su Yanxi jumped up and almost swore to the sky to prove his innocence.

"Miss, you don't have to swear. I believe you would never kiss someone you consider a robber, a bad seed, or a scum."

Su Yanxi rolled her eyes.

This guy is not annoying when he is asleep.

When will this hurdle be resolved?! She's getting calluses from hearing this!

However, this also confirmed that it was Shen Yunian himself.

Su Yanxi was about to say something when Shen Yunian suddenly hugged her, and a warm breath blew from her neck. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"Thanks."

Su Yanxi pushed it away decisively.

I still like to hug you anywhere!

Although everything went well, Su Yanxi always felt something was wrong.

It’s better if this is all true! Otherwise… otherwise she will!

…

Otherwise, he would be dead!
