Ye Jiu reached out and touched Li Jingxing, then let go. "Theoretically, whoever I touch will have their abilities nullified. How do you feel now? Do you have the feeling that you can nullify other people's abilities?"
Li Jingxing chuckled, "I don't feel anything. I think we've probably misunderstood. My ability doesn't seem to be copying. Maybe my previous ability was also decomposition, but I just forgot about it."
Ye Jiu said regretfully, "It's a pity we can't test it."
However, there was no particular regret. It's a good thing that one's special ability is unique. It would be strange if there were a substitute. From this perspective, one can understand Lin Jin'an.
Ye Jiu looked around the basement and accidentally noticed a reflective object on the ground that looked like a shard of glass. She walked over and picked it up; it looked like an irregularly shaped ruby.
Ye Jiu picked it up and held it up to the light to examine it. "Is this... a gemstone?"
Lin Jin'an looked up at the thing in Ye Jiu's hand, "You picked it up from the ground?"
"Yes, it's very pretty."
The gemstone was sparkling and without any impurities; even someone like Ye Jiu, who knew nothing about jewelry, could tell how valuable it was.
Lin Jin'an suddenly remembered the origin of this thing, "This seems to have been left behind by that ghost..."
"Huh? This is the first time that something has been left behind after a ghost was decomposed."
Ye Jiu examined the "gem" carefully. "Actually, upon closer inspection, it doesn't really look like jewelry, so what is this thing?"
Li Jingxing leaned closer, and the moment he saw the "gem," he froze. As if possessed, he reached out and took the "gem" into his hand. Then, the gem transformed into a red light in his hand and entered his heart.
Ye Jiu was stunned. Everything happened too fast; she didn't even have time to react.
This scene was so surreal that she even thought she was seeing things.
Ye Jiu and Lin Jin'an looked at each other in bewilderment. "I did have a gemstone in my hand just now, right?"
"Yes, I even said it was left by a ghost."
Ye Jiu looked at Li Jingxing, "And now it's gone, it's gone into your chest."
Lin Jin'an scratched his head, "Outrageous."
Li Jingxing looked down at his chest. "This seems to have always been mine."
"I have a feeling that it should have been in my body all along."
Ye Jiu tilted her head. "So what is it? A fragment of yours?"
Lin Jin'an tilted her head, "So your amnesia is because your soul is incomplete? Which of the legendary three souls and seven spirits are you missing?"
Li Jingxing didn't know, and he shook his head truthfully, "I don't know anything."
"Do you feel like your memories are returning?"
"It seems so?"
"Ah, why use the word 'seems'?" Ye Jiu circled around Li Jingxing, scrutinizing his appearance to see if there were any changes, but clearly, no, he looked exactly the same as before.
Lin Jin'an stroked his chin. "Perhaps you have some memories, but you can't recall them now. Don't dwell on it. Let's go. This basement is such a terrible place; I've wanted to leave for a long time."
After saying that, Lin Jin'an walked out of the basement and headed outside. Ye Jiu didn't want to continue talking in this kind of situation, so she strode after Lin Jin'an and said, "Let's go, let's go outside and talk."
Li Jingxing lagged behind the two. It would take three minutes to walk out of this road. The further they walked, the brighter the sunlight became, illuminating the path beneath their feet.
Li Jingxing's memories became clearer and clearer. He murmured, "Yunli Elementary School... third grade..."
He looked up at Ye Jiu's back, and at that moment it felt as if he had traveled through time and returned to that afternoon.
...
The little girl with her hair in a high ponytail reached out to him, "It's too dangerous, come back to the classroom with me."
He was led by her hand and walked behind her, whispering, "Will it rain this afternoon?"
"No, it's cloudy now, but it will definitely clear up this afternoon. It won't rain for the next three days, I'm telling you."
What was Li Jingxing thinking at that time?
He thought that if it rained in the afternoon, he would jump off the building, and the rain would wash away the bloodstains, leaving him with no trace.
Undeterred, Li Jingxing asked her, "Why? Did you check the weather forecast?"
"No, I have PE class this afternoon, and we can't have it if it rains."
Is that all?
"Oh, and rainy days can make people feel bad, I don't want it to rain."
Was Li Jingxing's blank stare solely due to this?
"Then why did you call me down here?"
"Go back to the classroom. The English teacher told me to bring everyone who isn't in the classroom back." After saying that, she made a fierce face. "You're the only one left. Come back to class with me."
He suddenly burst into laughter and asked Ye Jiu, "Do you know my name?"
"I know, I know, Li Jingxing, right?" Ye Jiu continued walking forward without turning her head.
Li Jingxing looked down at their clasped hands. "Are you the English class representative?"
"You didn't know? That's outrageous! I've looked for you so many times!"
"Why can you always find me?" In Xiao Li Jingxing's memory, Ye Jiu could always find him whenever he hid alone.
"I don't know, I just found it by feeling."
Li Jingxing looked intently at Ye Jiu's profile. "Will you come looking for me again in the future?"
"If you attend classes properly from now on, I'll come find you."
"But didn't you come to see me because I didn't attend class properly?"
Ye Jiu stomped her foot in anger, "Fine, fine, I'll come to you from now on."
Li Jingxing raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay."
——
This conversation was probably just a small and unexpected thing for her. She casually agreed to a boy's request and then kept her promise out of good faith.
But for him, it was enough to remember for a lifetime.
Li Jingxing caught up with Ye Jiu, "I think I have indeed regained my memories."
"Really? That's great." Ye Jiu smiled. "So, if I find a gem like this for you again, you'll regain all your memories?"
"That's probably it, who knows?"
Ye Jiu then asked, "By the way, why was that little ghost so afraid of you? The ghost we just dealt with also seemed wary of you."
Li Jingxing joked, "They're probably all afraid of me because I'm a god."
"Pfft, fine, fine, if you insist on thinking that way, I'll just have to play along. You're a god, you're a god."
Lin Jin'an pulled Ye Jiu a couple of steps closer to her and snorted coldly, "Keep your distance, Li Jingxing, you've crossed the line."
Li Jingxing laughed instead of getting angry. Lin Jin'an looked exactly like him when he was a child. No wonder he was hostile towards him. It turned out that their entanglement had started much earlier.
Since Ye Jiu had been pulled away, Li Jingxing moved over to her side and walked alongside her, looking ahead as he replied to Lin Jin'an, "I will do even more outrageous things in the future, and you can't stop me."
Lin Jin'an was filled with impotent rage. Of course he knew that Li Jingxing had ulterior motives, but unfortunately, Li Jingxing was a spirit and he couldn't kill him!
