Chapter 29 29 Wu Ciyan, you like me!

Murong told Wu Ci Yan the truth about buying dragon teeth. Wu Ci Yan did not take the money but gave her two.

Murong knew that they must have had a private deal, but since Heaven was in the wrong in this matter, she didn't dare to ask too much.

Wu Ci Yan went to heaven to pick up Wen Lanzhi.

On the way back, Wu Ci Yan poured out a pill from the gourd and handed it to Wen Lanzhi.

"Hmm?" Wen Lanzhi took it, put it in her mouth, and chewed it.

Wu Ciyan was stunned and said with a smile: "You don't even know what you are eating."

Wen Lanzhi asked, "What is it?"

Wu Ciyan said, "I asked the Supreme God Junqi for the elixir. It's good for the mind... and the brain. I'll give it to you every day from now on."

"Yes, yes!" Wen Lanzhi found it delicious, with a herbal flavor.

Wu Ci Yan has always found it very strange. Why would someone not know that they have lost their memory? When they wake up, they don’t know their name or identity, and have no relatives or friends they recognize. It’s not like a newborn baby without memory. They have grown up so much, so they can’t think that they popped out of a crack in the stone, right?

He asked, "Do you remember your parents?"

Wen Lanzhi was startled, and her expression suddenly turned bad. "I remember."

"Remember?" Wu Ciyan was surprised.

"Yes." Wen Lanzhi said, "My father doesn't remember, and my mother doesn't remember most of it either. I remember..."

She suddenly covered her head and squatted on the ground.

Wu Ci Yan had a bad feeling and thought he shouldn't have asked this question just now.

Some memories are etched into the heart, seeping into every part of the body and sinking into the depths. Every time I recall them, a stabbing pain spreads throughout my body. Even if all other memories were purged, this one wouldn't be completely shaved off.

She cried, "When I was nine, my mother and I had our magical powers sealed by a Taoist priest. We turned into ordinary rabbits, unable to transform into human form. One time, my mother went out to the street to find food for me and didn't come back for a long time. When I found her..."

Before she finished, Wu Ciyan understood. A rabbit that hadn't transformed into a human form ran onto the street and was caught, and was simply roasted and boiled. To a human, this was nothing. But to Wen Lanzhi, the person being roasted on the fire was one of her own kind, her mother.

Haunted by nightmares every night, how can I engrave the memory in my heart unless I am heartbroken and terrified?

"I remember she used to call me Wen Lanzhi..." Wen Lanzhi choked up, "I have a bad memory and can't remember many things, but I remember her."

Wu Ciyan held her hand.

Wu Ciyan asked her, "Why did you rush out to save people on Xixi Lake that day?"

Wen Lanzhi buried her head, and Wu Ciyan squatted beside her, nagging her relentlessly. Unless she gave him a reasonable answer, he would stay squatting there with her.

A quarter of an hour later, Wen Lanzhi raised her head. She could hardly cry anymore and her feet were numb from squatting. Wu Ci Yan just sat on the ground and waited for her.

Wen Lanzhi said: "I want to help Murong."

Wu Ciyan asked, "How confident are you?"

Wen Lanzhi said: "I haven't thought about it."

Wu Ciyan asked, "What if you die?"

Wen Lanzhi was choked and instantly lost her confidence. "I'm willing to die... I'm willing to die for Sister Murong. I can do that."

Wu Ciyan frowned, anger rising in his eyes. He couldn't control his emotions and his voice unconsciously became louder: "Then why did you follow me? Since you can die for anyone at any time, why don't you die now! Why did you let me get used to having you, and then let me lose you! Why did you die for Murong! Why can't you live for me! Am I not as important as Murong in your heart?"

Wen Lanzhi was stunned by this series of words.

She didn't know what Wu Ciyan was angry about, but she could tell that he was very angry. "Yes, I'm sorry."

"I don't want you to apologize!" Wu Ciyan stood up, his face red with anger.

He circled Wen Lanzhi twice, calmed himself down, and sat down. "If I died, would you be sad?"

"Of course!" Wen Lanzhi said without hesitation.

Wu Ciyan said, "If you die, won't I be sad?"

Wen Lanzhi said weakly: "I don't know if you will be sad."

"I will!" Wu Ciyan shouted loudly, "I saw you were injured! I saw it when you were bathing. Your arms and legs were covered with wounds, and you didn't let me see! You hid from me! I'm angry! I'm very angry!"

"Because it doesn't hurt..." Wen Lanzhi defended.

Wu Ciyan said, "If it doesn't hurt, why are you hiding from me? If it doesn't hurt, why are you pressing your legs into the bucket when I come in?"

"I, I..." Wen Lanzhi was speechless and buried her face in her knees and started crying again.

Her tears were like a basin of ice water, pouring down from the top of Wu Ci Yan's head, just pouring on the inner flame. The fire that had finally started was completely extinguished with a crackling sound, leaving only a few faint sparks. Wen Lanzhi's crying became louder, and the water poured down again, and the sparks were completely extinguished.

Wu Ciyan took a deep breath, sat down, and waited quietly. When her crying subsided a little, he put his hand on her arm and said, "Aren't you repaying me? Then shouldn't you focus on me?"

Wen Lanzhi didn't know what to say and didn't answer.

Wu Ciyan spoke again, this time in a much softer tone, "Can you please live for me? Don't die for anyone else, just live for me."

After a while, Wen Lanzhi raised her head.

She repeated this sentence in her mind again and again, and said, "What does it mean?"

Wu Ciyan almost couldn't breathe and fainted on the ground.

He stood up, took a deep breath, took another deep breath, took Wen Lanzhi's hand, and continued walking forward.

"Where are we going?" Wen Lanzhi asked.

Wu Ciyan said, "Return to the Imperial City and apply for medicine."

After the two walked for a while, Wu Ci Yan suddenly turned around again.

Wen Lanzhi didn't pay attention and bumped into his chest. She screamed "ouch" and covered her forehead.

Wu Ci Yan hurried forward, pulled her hand away, and looked at her forehead.

Wen Lanzhi raised her eyes and looked into his eyes.

She was stunned and said, "Wu Ciyan, do you... like me?"

As soon as she said this, her mind suddenly became open, and many things came to her mind. She held Wu Ciyan's hand and said, "That day, you told Shi Ju that your sweetheart's friends are your friends! You asked me to light the fire with you at the Monster World Celebration, and you asked all the monsters to call me Madam!"

She became more and more joyful as she spoke, almost jumping for joy. "You said at Xixi Lake that if you wanted to get married, I'd go back and do it with you, not with someone else outside. And you just said you hoped I would live for you. Wu Ciyan, do you like me?"

"Wu Ciyan! You like me!" Wen Lanzhi affirmed, "I am your sweetheart!"

"Yes." Wu Ciyan raised the corner of his lips, held her hand, and said firmly, "You are my sweetheart."

Wen Lanzhi threw herself into his arms and was held tightly by him.

Wen Lanzhi whispered, "It's been less than a month."

"Yes, less than a month." Wu Ci Yan said.

He didn't know why, but even though they had only known each other for a short time, it felt like they had known each other for years. He easily memorized Rabbit's preferences, knew how to make her happy, and knew how to make her angry.

He brushed away the strands of hair on Wen Lanzhi's forehead and asked again, "Did we know each other before?"

Wen Lanzhi's legs were clasped around his waist, rubbing against him. "I know you. You saved me before, don't you remember?"

Suddenly, many images flashed before Wu Ciyan's eyes. They were all of Wen Lanzhi. She had different hairstyles and wore different clothes. She was clinging to him and rubbing against him in the same way.

Wu Ciyan imitated himself in the picture and spun around with her in his arms.

The Wen Lanzhi in their arms overlapped with the Wen Lanzhi in their memories, and they said in unison: "I'll be dizzy in a moment!"

"We know each other!" Wu Ci Yan said.

"Hmm?" Wen Lanzhi raised her head from his arms. "What? You remembered?"

Wu Ciyan held her and spun her around twice more, then threw her up and caught her, shouting, "We know each other! We know each other!"

But I don’t know how we met.

What does that have to do with that obsession?

Never mind, let’s talk about it later.

Anyway, his obsession now is Wen Lanzhi.

Wu Ci Yan carried her back to the imperial city.

Wu Ci Yan wanted to carry her to sit on the bed, but she jumped away.

Wu Ciyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her leisurely.

Wen Lanzhi said, "You just sat on the floor. You can't sit on the bed. Go take a shower and change clothes first."

Wu Ciyan rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, you love cleanliness the most."
