Chapter 86
When I saw Liu Ruoxing again, she was squatting on the ground, watching the ants moving attentively.
The woman with lively eyes and eyebrows looked like a flower blooming in the wilderness. The bright sunlight fell on her eyelashes, making the smile within even brighter and more vivid.
Others might find it dull, but Liu Ruoxing thoroughly enjoyed it. Her fair fingers gripped a small branch, and from time to time she pried at the ground, causing the mighty procession to be delayed, creating a curve in the originally straight line.
The group watched from a few meters away for a while, and they couldn't bear to disturb them.
Sheng Xinyan lowered his head to examine the items in his backpack and asked quietly, "Should we continue to let Madam identify these things, or what?"
"No need." Before anyone else could answer, Si Li spoke first, "I'll do it."
After saying that, she walked straight towards Liu Ruoxing and patted her shoulder gently.
Liu Ruoxing turned her head, looked up, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.
She stood up and stared at Si Li, "Who are you?"
Si Li's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he reached out to brush away the dust on her clothes. "I am the Palace Master of Paradise Palace, Si Li."
"Are you the Palace Master? They talk about you all the time." Liu Ruoxing stared at Si Li intently. "I thought he was an old man, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome."
A simple sentence brought a soft smile to Si Li's face. "As long as you like it."
The sour smell of love seemed to be floating in the air. Several onlookers looked at each other in confusion. If they didn't have a mission to accomplish, they really wanted to flee the scene right away and not disturb this loving couple.
Is this being forced into marriage? Is this a bad relationship?
Liu Ruoxing's eyes were almost tearing when she looked at Si Li. It was obvious that they were in love.
Sheng Xinyan couldn't help but touch Shaoyao, hoping that she would realize her mistake. "Can you rest assured now?"
Shaoyao didn't even blink, "I'm just pretending."
Sheng Xinyan: ...
Never mind, it doesn’t make sense.
Chen Fengni was more concerned about something else. She asked Shanhu, who was standing beside her, "Why did Madam say she had never seen the Palace Master? Didn't the Palace Master come to visit during Madam's amnesia?"
There was also confusion in Shanhu's voice: "I come here almost every day."
Jiang Zhuoyan's eyes moved, "Did you see them meet?"
"Uh, it happened when I first lost my memory." Shanhu was stunned. "Then I only saw the Palace Master enter Madam's room... You're saying that the Palace Master didn't actually see Madam, and Madam's memory is not good now, so she forgot about the Palace Master, right?"
Jiang Zhuoyan nodded, "That's probably the case."
Coral became increasingly confused, "But why?"
Jiang Zhuoyan already had a guess in his mind, but he didn't say anything more. He just raised his chin towards the two people in front of him and said, "Keep watching."
In front of Liu Ruoxing, Si Li seemed like a different person.
All those unruly edges were put away, and everything became soft from the inside out.
She chatted with Liu Ruoxing in a gentle voice for a few words, then took out a candy from her pocket, "Want some candy? We'll have half each."
Liu Ruoxing nodded happily, "Okay."
Shaoyao was startled when she saw Si Li was about to give Liu Ruoxing food, and wanted to step forward to stop him. But after hearing "half and half each", she calmly stepped back and waited to see what would happen.
Si Li broke the candy in his hand, ate half himself, and put the other half to Liu Ruoxing's lips.
Without any hesitation, Liu Ruoxing opened her mouth and ate it.
Then she paused, confusion in her eyes, "So familiar."
Liu Ruoxing said, looking at Si Li, "Have you ever fed me before?"
Si Li smiled without saying anything, squatted down, pointed at the ants on the ground and said something, successfully diverting Liu Ruoxing's attention, and he squatted down as well.
The two of them chatted while watching the ants move. After about an incense stick of time, Si Li took out a small wine pot from his pocket and handed it to Liu Ruoxing.
Liu Ruoxing stared at the wine jug for a long time, then suddenly covered her head with her hands. "I feel a little dizzy, I seem to remember something..."
Si Li looked calm and patted her back soothingly, "Don't worry, think about it slowly."
Liu Ruoxing lowered her head and said nothing. After a long while, she finally raised her eyes.
At this moment, the innocent ignorance in Liu Ruoxing's eyes was completely gone, and was replaced by full of tenderness and admiration.
She held Si Li's hand and whispered, "Niannian, I remember everything."
Si Li hugged her and said, "I missed you a lot during this period."
According to the general routine, the next plot should be the two people confessing their true feelings to each other, explaining the ins and outs of the matter, and being very sentimental to earn the players' tears.
But at this moment, the players present were more surprised than moved.
Nian Nian? Are you calling Si Li?
Several pairs of eyes turned to Jiang Zhuoyan, and finally it was Shen Fengni who spoke, "Si Li... also called Nian Nian?"
Jiang Zhuoyan's uneasiness was keenly captured by the facial capture system and copied onto Zhezhi's face without reservation.
The white-robed heroine was at a loss, and after a long while she said, "Look down first."
The comments in the live broadcast room were not willing to let go of such gossip, and various discussions quickly dominated the screen.
【What are they talking about? Why don’t I understand? 】
[I don't understand +1, what does "also called Nian Nian" mean? Who else is called Nian Nian? ]
[You probably don't know this, but according to insider information, Feng Ni privately calls Xiao Jiang Zong Nian Nian, probably a nickname or a nickname.]
[Ah, how did you know? Is the information reliable?]
[It's reliable. My friend is an employee of "Yimeng", and other "Yimeng" people have also dug up this online before.]
So what? Si Li and Mr. Jiang have the same nickname. What does that mean?
[Maybe it's just a coincidence, the name Nian Nian is quite common.]
…
Is it really just a coincidence?
I don’t know when it started, but Shen Fengni began to feel that the plot of this mission made her care a lot, but if you look into it deeply, she can’t say exactly what she cared about.
Maybe it was because Si Li said that Liu Ruoxing had a bad relationship with her family, which resonated with her.
Shen Fengni shook his head and put his confused thoughts aside.
Si Li and Liu Ruoxing chatted for a while, and finally remembered that there were other people around. They looked at each other embarrassedly, and then walked hand in hand to the front of the crowd.
"Ruoxing." Si Li said to the people around him, "You come and explain the Liu family's affairs."
Liu Ruoxing responded calmly, "What happened to the Liu family has nothing to do with the Paradise Palace, and it has nothing to do with Nian Nian."
Shaoyao hesitated and asked, "Madam, do you have any difficulties?"
"No. You misunderstood, Shaoyao." Liu Ruoxing continued to explain helplessly, "The Liu family appears to be a bright and innocent family, but in reality, they hide many dirty deeds and have made many enemies. This incident is their own fault, and it was also within my expectations."
Liu Ruoxing downplayed the tragic incident of the entire family being massacred. It seems that her relationship with the Liu family is more than just "bad".
Shaoyao was stunned: "Then you quarreled with the Palace Master and said you wanted to go back to the Liu family..."
Liu Ruoxing said, "Although I left the Liu family a long time ago, I was worried that those people would come to seek revenge and implicate other people in the Paradise Palace, so I wanted to leave."
Having said this, she looked at Si Li tenderly and said, "But, in the end, I didn't leave."
The reason for this doesn't need to be elaborated; everyone understands it. It's simply that when disaster strikes, both sides want to protect each other, even at the cost of their own lives. That's why the dispute arises.
"But..." Shaoyao was speechless and paused, then suddenly thought of something, "Since the Palace Master knew how to treat Madam, why didn't he take action yet?"
"I'm conflicted too." Si Li sighed, "I hope Ruoxing can recover her memory, but I also feel that she's very happy in her current state, so I'm hesitant."
Seeing everyone looking at him with puzzled eyes, Si Li continued, "Ruoxing had an unhappy childhood, it can be said to be very depressing. After losing her memory this time, she is like an innocent little girl. I can't help but wonder if this is some kind of compensation from God, which is why she has been delayed without treatment."
Xu Weiyi suddenly realized, "So this is why you don't meet with Madam?"
Si Li admitted frankly, "Ruoxing and I have too much in the past, which inevitably brought back some memories, causing her trouble and ruining her happiness."
After listening to the two's explanation, most of the confusion that had accumulated before dissipated, and everyone felt a little emotional. Perhaps the more beautiful the relationship, the more hardships it will experience. Or perhaps it is because they have gone through hardships together that the relationship becomes more beautiful.
Sheng Xinyan expressed her envy without hesitation, "That's great. I want to date someone like that, too."
Shaoyao's brain seemed to have frozen, and after a long while she managed to utter, "Then why are you treating Madam now?"
Now the others said in unison: "It's all because of you!"
According to Si Li's original plan, he probably still wanted Liu Ruoxing to live a carefree life for a while.
After all, apart from amnesia and a mindset that changes back to that of a child, this disease has no other side effects and is not painful at all.
That's why Si Li, even though she already knew the correct answer, offered a high reward and pretended to seek medical help. But even though she took great pains, she still aroused suspicion from others.
Shaoyao is straightforward and dedicated to protecting her master, so she was exposed too early. She privately harbored doubts and no one knew how many people were spreading rumors.
Shaoyao's actions made Si Li realize that if he did nothing, the misunderstanding would become deeper and deeper, and those who believed in her and those who didn't might really form cliques and conflicts break out, so he chose to end it all and get things back on track.
The barrage chat was very lively:
[What kind of fairy love is this? I'm dying of it! ]
[Is that so? I declare that from now on Si Li and Liu Ruoxing are my destined couple.]
[I actually followed Shaoyao in doubting the Palace Master. Damn it.]
[Wow, the best love is to pity your past. Even though you have grown up, I still want to treat you like a child.]
…
Everything seems to be clear, but it seems like something is missing.
Like a puzzle with a missing piece, it always feels incomplete. At some point, a fragment of memory surfaces in my mind, but then quickly sinks back into obscurity.
Shen Fengni's eyes swept across the barrage, then looked at the small wine jug in Liu Ruoxing's hand, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at Si Li, "Palace Master, I have one more thing I want to ask."
Si Li replied, "Just say it."
Shen Fengni said seriously, "I want to know how you awakened Madam's memory?"
