This time, Xiao Anhe spoke first. Faced with An Jingfeng's praise with his eyes closed, he did not show the slightest embarrassment. He accepted it gladly and even became humble, saying, "No need to be so polite. It is the duty of every citizen to set things right and persuade evil to turn to good."
These words sounded so righteous and awe-inspiring that An Jingfeng couldn't help but feel a chill, while at the same time giving Xiao Anhe a thumbs up, "Sir, you really have a sense of responsibility!"
Xu Moran felt something was off again, so she stepped forward and tugged at Xiao Anhe's sleeve, whispering, "We're going to X City tomorrow, and we haven't packed a lot of things yet. We have to go back."
Xiao Anhe nodded. "Yes, we need to go back and pack our things."
Watching Xiao Anhe and Xu Moran walk side by side, another fallen leaf drifted to the foot of Anjing Peak. Suddenly remembering something, he chased after Xiao Anhe and Xu Moran, calling out, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."
He disliked shouting without a subject, but with Xu Moran present, he couldn't openly call Xiao Anhe "Brother," so he could only omit the subject and simply say "Wait a minute."
Xiao Anhe pretended not to hear, because he could sense that there were quite a few people taking turns on stage recently. Although Xu Moran was simple-minded, she still became suspicious. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly asked him who he was just now.
If he had reacted any slower, his true identity would have been exposed.
It wasn't that he couldn't let Xu Moran know that he was Xiao Anhe, but the timing wasn't right yet. He was afraid that if Xu Moran knew he was Xiao Anhe by now, and that he had never lost his memory and had only been lying to her all along, she might stop talking to him from then on.
Xu Moran ignored him; he couldn't afford to gamble with that.
Xu Moran did become suspicious. She pretended not to hear someone calling from behind, just to see how Xu Ye would react.
If he instinctively turns around, it means he knows the man from before. If he knows the man, then he also knows the old man who staged the accident. Therefore, she can deduce that the so-called private settlement was deliberately staged by the old man.
His only goal was to get her away so he could speak with Xu Ye alone.
All of this was just her speculation, without any evidence, or until Xu Ye revealed any flaws.
Xu Ye pulled her hand and continued forward, looking at her like that... Xu Moran quickly turned her face and glanced at Xu Ye.
His expression was calm, just like before, without even the slightest change.
There are only two possibilities for someone's calm reaction: either they genuinely don't know the person, or they have a strong mentality and can pretend not to know them even if they do.
Xu Moran looked at Xu Ye again. This time, in order to see more clearly, she didn't just peek quickly like before. She stared at him with her eyes wide open.
Xu Ye felt her gaze, looked back at her, and even smiled at her, "Ranran, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that all day? Is there something dirty on my face?"
“There’s nothing dirty on you,” Xu Moran said, slightly embarrassed. “Your face is very clean, and your skin is very fair.”
Xu Ye raised the hand that wasn't holding Xu Moran's, touched his own face, and sighed, "Ranran, you really woke me up with your words. I've just thought of something else."
Xu Moran quickly replied, "Have you remembered who you are now?"
Xu Moran was conflicted about whether Xu Ye could remember his past. On one hand, she hoped that Xu Ye would remember the past, since past memories are very important to a person; on the other hand, she did not want Xu Ye to remember the past.
Xu Ye is so handsome and paints so well. What if he's already married and is someone else's husband? What should we do then?
Xu Moran thought that if the second outcome were true, she would be heartbroken for a very, very long time. After all, this was her first love, which was about to begin, and it had already died in the cradle. It was indeed a tragedy.
