When Mu Tiantian discovered that Huo Jixiu had lost his memory, she wanted to read about his life, but this was useless to living beings, as he still couldn't remember his own affairs.
Mu Tiantian had no choice but to first use her mystical arts to clear away his external resentment, and then ask him what his wish was.
The result was both unexpected and yet perfectly logical.
Huo Jixiu excitedly told her, "I want to ride a roller coaster, a carousel, and buy a plush toy..."
He counted on his fingers a long list of places he wanted to go, games he wanted to play, and toys he wanted to buy.
Mu Tiantian couldn't stand it any longer and asked him, "How old are you?"
Huo Jixiu blinked, his bright blue eyes full of innocence, "I forgot."
Mu Tiantian sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation, then had no choice but to agree, "Okay, but you have to make money for me first."
How do you make money?
From then on, Mu Tiantian started a small ghost-catching company that only she ran, and had Huo Jixiu help her catch ghosts. The speed was very fast, and she earned more and more money.
She made a paper figure for him to attach to. Although it couldn't perfectly replicate the five senses of a human, it would still allow him to experience them to some extent.
Mu Tiantian fulfilled all his wishes one by one. He had played with the toys, eaten the food, and had all the toys he wanted, but he still harbored resentment.
She had no choice but to take care of him for the time being, and even took him to the hospital to see his physical body, but he still couldn't remember.
During those two years, Huo Jixiu learned a lot, his comprehension became stronger, and his interests gradually increased, especially his love for melodramatic romance dramas and cool, awesome movies.
Although the two styles are vastly different, it didn't stop him from watching with great interest, and he even wanted to recreate the TV show plot.
One day, out of the blue, he asked her, "Can we be like them?"
Mu Tiantian looked at the TV that Huo Jixiu was pointing to, and saw the male and female leads passionately kissing and taking wedding photos underwater, which was extremely beautiful.
The next second, a giant deep-sea shark suddenly appeared and ate them.
Mu Tiantian blinked. "Like them...feeding sharks?"
Huo Jixiu quickly used the remote control to rewind to the most beautiful scene between the male and female leads, pressed pause, and looked at her with hopeful eyes, "I said let's get married."
Mu Tiantian was stunned by what he said. After confirming that she hadn't misheard, she asked him, "Do you even know what marriage is?"
Huo Jixiu answered earnestly, "When two people who love each other get married, they stay together for life, and neither of them can change their hearts."
"You know quite a lot, but do you know what love is?" Mu Tiantian asked again.
"Isn't this how we do it?"
Mu Tiantian thought he had watched too much TV and was projecting his own thoughts onto the story, so she smiled and said, "How old are you? What do you know?"
Just as she turned around, Huo Jixiu suddenly appeared behind her.
Before she could react, a cool kiss landed on her.
Mu Tiantian was shocked and instinctively tried to push him away, but he was very strong and held her in his arms.
After the kiss ended, Huo Jixiu said seriously, "I'm not young anymore. I know everything. I don't like you standing with other men, and I don't like them getting close to you, especially that Gu Yichen. I hate him."
Mu Tiantian opened her eyes wide, her dazed expression and flushed cheeks were so cute that Huo Jixiu couldn't help but kiss her twice more.
It was only then that she realized the reason his resentment level fluctuated so much was because he was jealous...
The memories continue to replay...
Mu Tiantian saw the scene when Huo Jixiu was in a car accident.
While he was driving, a cat suddenly ran out into the middle of the road. To avoid it, he made a sharp turn and crashed into a pillar on the side of the road, shattering the car window.
Blood streamed down Huo Jixiu's head, and the car door was smashed open.
His arm hung down, and the black and white cat walked over and rubbed against the back of his hand.
Huo Jixiu perhaps saw it, and seeing that it was unharmed, a very faint smile appeared on his lips before he completely lost consciousness...
The memory images started to accelerate...
The corpse of a cat came into her view.
This may be the source of Huo Jixiu's true resentment.
In my memory, Huo Jixiu was a lively and playful child who loved toys. His parents doted on him, and his mother even raised a cat for him.
But all these beautiful moments came to an end when the mother discovered the father's affair and developed depression.
In the end, the mother's condition did not improve, and she committed suicide, leaving behind only the cat.
One day, his father suddenly brought his mistress home.
The mistress treated him very badly and even put on an act in front of his father. His cat bit the mistress.
The mistress wanted her father to kill the cat.
The father was just pretending, hitting the cat hard a few times, but he ended up getting bitten by the cat too.
Finally, in a fit of anger, his father beat the cat to death in front of him and then threw away the cat's body.
And this cat has black and white stripes.
This scene thoroughly provokes Huo Jixiu.
From then on, Huo Jixiu's personality changed drastically. He locked up everything about the cat, as if the cat had never existed.
He was only a few years old at the time, but he began to become sensible. He did whatever his grandfather asked him to do and became very obedient. He also studied very hard and was groomed by his grandfather to be his successor.
Although the mistress is with her father, as long as her grandfather is alive, she can't enter the house, and Huo Hai will always be an illegitimate child.
It wasn't until after his grandfather died that his father married his mistress.
However, all of the Huo family's assets remained under Huo Jixiu's name, which infuriated the mistress, who then began to instigate her son to fight with their father for the family property.
During the two years he was in a vegetative state, his father managed the Huo family business. As a result, he was incompetent and fell seriously ill due to overwork. His mistress began to despise him and plotted to seize the Huo family's assets. In the end, his father discovered this, and the two died in a dispute.
After regaining consciousness, Huo Jixiu cleaned up the mess, and he has been doing so ever since.
After reading the whole thing, Mu Tiantian felt a mix of emotions—she felt very sad and heartbroken.
The cat that his father killed looked almost exactly like the cat he had swerved to avoid while driving.
Perhaps his parents and the cat are the root of his resentment.
Huo Jixiu also saw all of his memories through Mu Tiantian's eyes.
So, he was happy too...
So, his real wish was... to find the cat's body... and bury it...
Mu Tiantian took him back to the Huo family's main residence and brought him to a wall in his bedroom.
This is a room he never wants to enter in his entire life.
Behind this wall were the items he kept related to his mother and the cat.
Mu Tiantian used her mystical arts to blast open the wall, revealing all sorts of toys, photos, and other items—a treasure trove of memories...
