"I'm sure he will, right? I miss him so much, he must miss me too."
"After all these years, do we still feel the same way about each other?"
"Waaah... It's all my fault for leaving home in such a hurry. I didn't get Xia Che's contact information before joining the Assassin's Hall. I haven't had a chance to contact him for so many years. Otherwise, wouldn't I have been able to express my feelings long ago?"
Qingning cupped her face in her hands, her mind filled with all sorts of random thoughts.
There is only one road from the inpatient department to the hospital entrance. Even though dealing with Zhang Er caused some delays, Qing Ning was not worried at all about missing Xia Che because of it.
Anyway, the members of the organization are already in Jiang City. If we really lose them, we can just look for them again.
Qingning has great faith in the members' abilities.
Sure enough, the moment Qing Ning stepped out of the hospital, she saw Xia Che waiting for the bus under the bus stop sign.
Her eyes lit up instantly.
Her mood suddenly became a little nervous, yet also filled with sweetness. The feelings of not seeing each other for many years were pressing up in her heart, making her mind a little dizzy.
What should I say first?
Should we say hello?
Xia Che must be very surprised by how much he has changed, right?
Yes……
That must be it.
"Xia Che has changed so much... Why did he dye his hair a shit-yellow color? No, no, no... Xia Che must have his reasons for doing this. Looking closely, the hair color is actually quite nice."
"I'm not the little potato egg who just followed Xia Che around building sandcastles anymore. I've grown up. Come on... stay calm and show your most charming side!"
Qing Ning stretched out her little fist and waved it vigorously in front of her. Her fair and tender hand, which could easily smash Zhang Er's skull with a single punch, turned slightly red with excitement at this moment.
Like a tender lotus bud just beginning to sprout, Qing Ning's aura was completely disrupted the moment she saw Xia Che in person.
"You... hello, Xia Che, do you remember me? I never expected to run into you here, what a coincidence, haha..."
While struggling with her thoughts, Qing Ning had already walked up to Xia Che. Looking at his puzzled eyes, Qing Ning's fingers were intertwined and knotted together.
Countless dizzying threads appeared before her eyes, her pretty face flushed red, and she couldn't utter a single word.
What will he say?
After many years apart, the first words exchanged upon reunion...
What will Xia Che say?
Qing Ning was already incredibly excited just thinking about it; she couldn't think rationally at all!
Who are you?
Finally, Qing Ning heard Xia Che's first words, and then she froze.
Click—
The lime's body petrified at an extremely fast speed until it became a human-shaped stone sculpture.
She was stunned.
At this moment, Qing Ning's mind was no longer filled with hesitation or shyness; only four words were swirling and swirling in her brain...
Who are you?
Thump!
The fighting spirit that had risen in Qing Ning was shattered by these four words, like an indestructible city wall being hit head-on by a missile.
Yes.
City walls can defend against foreign enemies and stop arrows, but they can't stop missiles...
Xia Che...
Did you actually forget about yourself?
"Hello? Are you alright?"
Xia Che touched his chin, frowning as he looked at the girl in front of him, whose face was flushed but whose mouth was wide open, as if her whole body was frozen.
The things I should say but can't...
Why does it look so familiar?
Suddenly, a name popped into his mind, and Xia Che jolted as if he had been electrocuted.
My goodness!
Shi Qingning?
The fourth female protagonist in a comic book!
Xia Che finally recognized who the person in front of him was.
Recalling the introduction of Shi Qingning.
This woman is the one with the highest combat power among the five female protagonists in the comic.
Also at the end of the comic, in the scene where she cosplays a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll), she is the only one who was initially unwilling and tried to stop it but failed.
"hiss……"
Xia Che suddenly gasped.
It seems like Shi Qingning has some connection to me?
Although it wasn't mentioned in the comic, when Shi Qingning first appeared and transferred to Weiyang School, she was with the original owner of the body, and the two seemed to be quite good friends.
However, at Shi Qingning's birthday party, the original owner of the body had a disagreement with the other party and had a big argument. The original owner left the party in anger. After seeing off the other friends, Shi Qingning felt that she had done wrong and chased after her.
However, Shi Qingning, who already had a low alcohol tolerance, drank some more alcohol at the banquet. When she rashly chased after the crowd and was hit by a cold wind, the alcohol made her dizzy, and she ended up falling asleep on the main road.
Then……
This benefited Li Junyang.
When he was very young, the other person was one of Shi Qingning's few playmates, so Shi Qingning did not put her guard up against him. After that night, the comic did not describe it in detail, so Xia Che did not know what happened. He only knew that the next day, Shi Qingning became indifferent to the original owner in the comic and was unmoved by the original owner's apology. The two gradually drifted apart.
Not long after, Shi Qingning announced that she was dating Li Junyang.
In the original comic, the original character was just an NPC with some screen time. After learning that the two were together, he looked shocked and seemed very unwilling to accept the result. However, the description of the original character ended abruptly at this point in the comic.
The readers didn't care about this scene, after all, it was just a minor character; they were more interested in the story between the male and female protagonists.
While reading the comic, Xia Che thought that Li Junyang and Shi Qingning were childhood sweethearts based on their childhood experiences. So, although Li Junyang was somewhat suspected of taking advantage of her that night, the outcome was not bad.
But now it seems that Shi Qingning also recognizes herself?
Could it be that, in the parts of the comic that aren't depicted, he and Shi Qingning also have a good relationship?
"Tsk... I really can't remember for a moment. Damn it, didn't I completely accept the original owner's memories? Why can't I remember?"
Xia Che tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember anything at all.
There is only one possibility that this situation could occur.
That is...
Even the original owner of this body couldn't remember who Shi Qingning was.
Memory is a mysterious thing.
Some things that happened a long time ago, things that we thought we had long forgotten, we will remember firmly, but the more important things, we will not remember when we need them.
"Ah... Shi Qingning! Right?"
But now is not the time to dwell on memories. Xia Che slammed his fist into his palm and laughed, "I was just kidding! Look at you, you're still the same as before, so easily fooled!"
Xia Che decided to keep Shi Qingning calm for now; as for whether she remembered or not, he'd think about it properly when they got back tonight…
"How did you know my new name? But... I didn't have this name when I first met you."
Qing Ning slowly raised her head and met Xia Che's gaze, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment.
