"I always feel like I've forgotten something."
Today was the first time Mu Chen had come to the mountain where Ming Mei lived. When Mu Chen left, Ming Mei didn't care whether her actions would arouse the suspicion of the NPCs and insisted on seeing Mu Chen off down the mountain.
Walking beside Mu Chen, Mingmei suddenly said something like this.
"When I see you, I always feel like I should have something important to tell you."
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing Mingmei's words, Mu Chen suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.
It wasn't because they knew her in real life that she made any suggestive remarks; judging from Mingmei's face at that moment, her thoughtful and confused look made Mu Chen's heart skip a beat.
It seemed that Mingmei had really remembered something!
He looked at Mingmei, and saw that Mingmei suddenly raised her head and stared at him with a serious expression, saying, "Hmm, I feel like I have something to say to you, but I can't remember."
Gui Gui, who had originally planned to confess after Mu Chen left, fell silent upon hearing Ming Mei's words and looking at Mu Chen's trembling eyes.
At that moment, Mu Chen also laughed and said, "It's okay if you can't remember. I'll come again tomorrow, and you can tell me when you remember."
【Holy crap!!!】
Guigui thought Mu Chen would confess something, but now it was getting anxious. What's wrong with Mu Chen?
Its host doesn't know, doesn't he know what's going on with Mingmei?
Why does he still seem so unhurried?
Isn't it him who has been forgotten?
Even Xie Chen couldn't help but grin as he watched all this.
"Um... wait a minute." Seeing that Mu Chen was about to leave, Mingmei frowned and subconsciously grabbed Mu Chen's sleeve, looking at him with a hint of panic in her eyes, as if he would never come back once he left.
She asked, "Will you really come again tomorrow?"
"meeting."
Mu Chen nodded, but Xie Chen in his mind couldn't help but mock him for being a coward.
She'll forget about you by tomorrow. When you show up, she might treat you like a stranger and be on guard!
[...]
Mu Chen ignored Xie Chen's mockery, gave Mingmei a reassuring look, and said, "I'll come back to find you tomorrow."
After he finished speaking with great conviction, he looked up at the bright moon overhead, then looked down at Mingmei again and said, "It's getting late. Go back and get some rest. A new day will bring a new beginning."
After saying that, he reached out and touched the top of Mingmei's head. He hadn't had much interaction with the young Mingmei before.
He started spending more time with her when she was fourteen.
Having the opportunity to reach out and touch Mingmei's little head, his previously slightly downcast and calm mood improved once again.
This is just a game; he and Mingmei have a long future together...
【Ghost, why... do I feel like crying right now?】
Mingmei stood there watching Mu Chen's departing figure. The shadow cast by the moonlight stretched longer and longer. Looking at his solitary figure, Mingmei felt a lump in her throat for some reason.
I feel a little uncomfortable.
Because you did something that put you in a way that was unfair to others.
Bright and beautiful: ?
What does Gui Gui mean by that?
Under Mingmei's questioning gaze, Guigui repeated once again what she had said to her countless times before.
Compared to the many times before when Mingmei would silently accept everything with a blank face after listening, then secretly try to find a solution, only to have all her efforts go to waste due to forgetfulness, and she couldn't even feel frustrated, this time, she stood there and cried.
She burst into tears like a real child, a sound that drew the attention of Mei Jiu and Mei Shi. Before Mei Shi could even ask what was wrong, Mei Jiu impulsively exclaimed, "Is someone bullying you? Tell me! I'll stand up for you!"
"Xiao Jiu!" Mei Shi immediately shouted to stop Mei Jiu when she heard her fiery temper. Mingmei cried incessantly in Mei Shi's arms, then said it had nothing to do with Muchen, leaving them completely confused.
"Then why are you crying? Meimei, can you tell your mother?"
“I…” Mingmei’s negative emotions, which had always been triggered and forgotten by Mu Chen, suddenly exploded. She cried so hard that she hiccuped as she said, “I’m afraid that one day I will forget you all again.”
Mei Shi: "..."
Is this what children's boundless imagination is all about?
Whether it was Mingmei's crying that was so infectious, or Mei Jiu was also frightened by these words, she let out a loud cry and started crying too, shouting that she would never forget Mingmei.
"How can I live if I forget my sister! I can't live without her!"
I don't know where Mei Jiu learned those words from, but her crying and shouting lines instantly made Mingmei's tears stop.
Bright and cheerful: =. =
That sounds a bit strange, doesn't it?
...
"Don't think I'll forgive you just because you've paid me back two packs of spirit stones!"
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Lu Xiaoyao was released. She didn't care about her image as a cultivator anymore. She stuffed the spirit stones that Julian had given her as an apology into her sleeve and turned her head away, ignoring him.
What a scoundrel!
"Alright, I'm just..." Julian glanced at the empty street, then pulled Lu Xiaoyao up and, ignoring her struggles, walked away, saying seriously as he went, "Xiaoyao, your brother Lu Gui is not reliable."
"Huh?" Lu Xiaoyao said irritably, "Even if you're unreliable, are you any more outrageous than me? You just arrived and you're already sending me in!"
"I'm not giving this away."
Julian didn't say until he pulled Lu Xiaoyao into a small courtyard and made a soundproof barrier with his hand: "You saw that insectoid evil spirit that the Zerg modified in this city today."
"Hmm." Lu Xiaoyao shook off Julian's hand, glared at him, and said nothing more.
"Actually, there are quite a few independent cultivators in Linjing City, and there are also quite a few players in Linjing City."
"Huh? Really? I didn't recognize all the players today..." Lu Xiaoyao suddenly realized that she might not recognize all the players, so she swallowed the words "I didn't notice them today" back down.
“There’s a small group of players in Linjing City who hold regular gatherings to share the latest news,” Julian said, but then added, “I heard from a player from your school that he once invited Lu Gui, but she refused.”
"Ah... my brother's a pretty wary person. Even in the game, if someone he doesn't know invites him to join an action, he'll definitely hesitate first. I'm the same way~"
Still not believing that Lu Gui had any problems, Lu Xiaoyao even tried to exonerate him. Then she heard Julian say, "The player who invited your brother suddenly died and was eliminated."
"Huh?" Lu Xiaoyao glared at Julian and said, "You don't suspect my brother did it, do you? What if it was an accident?"
"If it was an accident, why did several players who knew your brother die later?"
