Mu Tiantian looked at Huo Jixiu with a strange expression.

It worked perfectly last night, pressing her down so hard she couldn't move at all, so why is it suddenly not working now?

Could it be... that he's exhausted?

Huo Jixiu felt a little guilty under her gaze, but he remained very composed, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

Mu Tiantian stepped forward and examined his legs, noticing the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist.

After pondering for a while, could it be that he was able to stand up because of the resentment?

As Mu Tiantian thought this, she also conducted an experiment by taking off the Buddhist beads from his wrist.

In that instant, Huo Jixiu's expression changed, and he looked up at Mu Tiantian.

She was examining the prayer beads closely and didn't notice him.

Beneath the thin white shirt, her beautiful figure was faintly visible, reminding him of everything from the previous night. A surge of blood rushed to his head, and he suddenly pulled her slender waist close and pressed her down beneath him.

His sudden movement startled Mu Tiantian, who let out a cry.

The next moment, his eyes were filled with lust, as if he wanted to tear her apart and devour her.

And those "incapable" legs he mentioned were now pinning her down, rendering her unable to move.

Mu Tiantian's heart pounded; she didn't have the energy to do it again.

So it really is related to the Buddhist beads that suppressed his resentment.

"Um..." Mu Tiantian had just opened her mouth when it was sealed shut again.

Her hands were pinned above her head, leaving her powerless to resist.

Mu Tiantian was still holding the Buddhist prayer beads. In order to stop him from messing with her, she tried her best to put the prayer beads on his wrist.

A few seconds later, she clearly felt the legs that were pressing down on her suddenly go limp.

He paused while kissing her lips forcefully, and after a while, the kissing motion suddenly became much gentler.

After a long while, Huo Jixiu braced his arms on either side of her head, his legs were so weak that they almost pressed down on her, and he could only barely support his lower body.

He gazed at her misty eyes beneath him, her red lips luscious and inviting. Her breath and the scent of her freshly bathed body stimulated all his senses, making him lose control.

What did he just do?

Moreover, he felt as if his legs had regained strength, but only for a moment.

He glanced at the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, as if they were related.

Mu Tiantian noticed something unusual about his legs.

So, it really is because of the Buddhist prayer beads.

He seemed much calmer after putting on the Buddhist prayer beads.

Perhaps it was because his resentment was suppressed that his emotions were not so extreme.

So until a way is found to completely eliminate the resentment and allow him to stand up, it's best to keep wearing it to prevent any danger.

Seeing that his gaze was fixed on the prayer beads, Mu Tiantian thought he wanted to take them off, so she quickly explained, "They can be used to suppress your resentment and make you feel better. I just don't know why they affect your legs. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to cure your legs. I swear, I have never disliked you."

Her eyes were full of seriousness, and her voice was soft and sweet as she coaxed him with kind words.

She seemed somewhat afraid of him.

Huo Jixiu stared at her intently, his expression not very good. This feeling of memory loss was truly irritating.

Mu Tiantian thought he didn't believe her, so she had to shamelessly make up an excuse, explaining in a weak and pitiful way, "The reason I said I disliked you because you were disabled and your family went bankrupt was actually because... I have a tough fate. When I was a child, a fortune teller said that I would bring bad luck to my family and become an orphan. Anyone who gets close to me will be unlucky, and in severe cases, there will be bloodshed. You had just woken up at that time and your body was very weak. I was afraid that you would be in danger, so I had no choice but to break up with you."

Huo Jixiu took a moment to process what she said.

If what she said is true, then the two years he wandered outside were spent with her, and they even established a relationship.

"So you're not worried now?" he asked.

Seeing that he was willing to listen to her explanation, Mu Tiantian's eyes lit up and she quickly explained, "Because I was also very sad after we separated, and I missed you so much, really, really missed you, so I think you also have the right to know the truth. I also hope that we can face the difficulties together. Being husband and wife while alive is better than being husband and wife as ghosts after death, right?"

This was an excuse she racked her brains to come up with, to cover up the lie she told when she left him back then.

If he still doesn't believe her, then it's all over; she really has no other choice.

Huo Jixiu hummed in agreement, relaxed his arms that were supporting him on either side, put one arm around her waist, and put the other arm under her armpit to hug her shoulder. He pressed his whole body against her, rested his head on her chest, and remained silent. Listening to her irregular heartbeat made him feel inexplicably at ease.

Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him respond. Then she remembered something important and, after thinking for a long time, decided to ask, "Why did you say yesterday that I was going to marry Gu Yichen? I think I told you that it was impossible for us, and I didn't mention him to you at the time. Why did you think I would marry him?"

Huo Jixiu heard her heartbeat grow stronger the longer he remained silent.

Mu Tiantian became extremely nervous when she saw that he didn't speak.

Should she not have asked?

But it is indeed strange. Given his personality, he would definitely interrogate her about who the man she married abroad was, and then kill that man. He wouldn't be so obsessed with the idea that she was going to marry Gu Yichen.

Because he had always hated Gu Yichen, in his extreme way, he would only kill both of them; it wouldn't matter if one more or one less was irrelevant.

After a long silence, Huo Jixiu finally spoke in a low voice, "I don't want to mention him."

"Then let's not mention it." Mu Tiantian relaxed a lot when she saw that he didn't have much of an emotional reaction.

She didn't dare bring it up again and quickly changed the subject, asking, "You really can't remember anything from the past?"

Another silence followed.

After a long pause, Huo Jixiu replied in a low voice, "I can't remember."

Seeing him lying motionless on her body, Mu Tiantian gently stroked his head and said softly, "It's okay, I will stay by your side to help you recover your memory and get fully better."

Huo Jixiu hummed in agreement. He enjoyed being touched like this, closed his eyes comfortably, and drifted off to sleep as drowsiness washed over him.

Mu Tiantian was pinned down by him, not daring to move.

Huo Jixiu didn't wake up until the sun went down; it was the most restful sleep he had had in many years.

He looked at Mu Tiantian, who was also sleeping in his arms, and his heart softened. He kissed her forehead.

He really wanted to know about the two years he spent with her as a living being.
