Why do your words hurt me so much?

Xi Xingxue frowned, looking somewhat bewildered.

"But I don't know what you're talking about. What the heck is 'childhood sweetheart'?"

This time, it was Ji Lin's turn to have his pupils shrink.

His voice even changed tone.

"You don't even know what I'm talking about?" He held Xi Xingxue's shoulders, their eyes meeting, his voice unconsciously becoming hoarse.

“These are all things I saw personally in your mind.”

Xi Xingxue felt a slight stabbing pain in her heart, but her mind remained blank.

"Although he knew that the Ji Lin in front of him and all the people in these worlds that he had conquered were the same person."

But he really didn't know he had a childhood sweetheart; he only remembered that he was a prince of some country... and had parents and an older brother.

"I don't know, Ji Lin, I'm sorry."

Ji Lin frowned deeply, feeling an indescribable sadness and bitterness in his heart, yet also a faint sense of relief.

"It's okay, it must be my memory that's mixed up."

As he spoke, he tried to release his grip on Xi Xingxue's hand and leave.

But Xi Xingxue grabbed him.

"Don't go, I want to find out the truth."

Ji Lin was taken aback.

Xi Xingxue said, "I can't remember who my childhood friend is at all, so I suspect that someone has tampered with my memories."

"If that's the case, then it means that my childhood friend must be an extremely important person, so important that others would not hesitate to do something to me."

At this point, while Ji Lin was processing the massive amount of information, Xi Xingxue began to question the system.

"System, tell the truth, or I won't hesitate to use my points to buy a bomb and blow you up."

System: "Master, spare our lives! We all know we were wrong, sob sob sob."

Xi Xingxue: "Speak like a human being."

System: "The reason I've bound myself to you is because someone approached me. He said you want to restore your kingdom and save your family and people. He's willing to sacrifice his entire soul to give you another chance."

Even though she had no memory of a childhood sweetheart, Xi Xingxue's heart ached, and her face turned deathly pale: "So, that person is my childhood sweetheart? He did so much for me?"

Xi Xingxue found it unbelievable.

The system said, "Host, please rest assured, you are also a good person. You also sacrificed yourself and then gained the opportunity to find his soul fragments and revive him."

Xi Xingxue paused.

"So, all of this was...a plan between him and me?"

System: "That's right, hehe."

Xi Xingxue: "...Then why should I forget him?"

System: "Everything comes at a price. Although you did not sacrifice your soul in exchange for an opportunity, you did sacrifice your memories and your ego."

Therefore, all the feelings you cherish will be forgotten.

"The most important person in your life will be someone you will never remember."

Xi Xingxue remained silent for a long, long time after hearing this, so long that Ji Lin in reality became nervous.

Xi Xingxue suddenly stood up, hugged Ji Lin, and kissed him.

"If there are no memories, then there are no memories. Memories are accumulated through experiences. I can just gain new memories from them."

System: "Well, good luck, host. The reason I'm telling you now is because you've reached this point on your own, reached the end with your childhood sweetheart, so you have the right to be recognized."

Ji Lin was completely bewildered by the kiss, overwhelmed with surprise and joy: "Fa, what happened?"

Xi Xingxue said, "Call Jiang Jue and Ji Cangming over. I have something important to tell them."

Ji Lin had a bad feeling.
