“Instead of asking who I am, let’s start by asking who you are.” Xia Yixin took out a black jade ring. “Do you remember this ring?”
Lu Yan's pupils contracted, and Xia Yixin noticed this, dodging quickly as he tried to snatch it.
Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes because of her actions, she felt both relieved and a little angry. Did he really not remember her?
"Judging from your expression, you remember this ring." Xia Yixin placed the black jade ring in his hand, and under his puzzled gaze, she took out the ring that she had kept on her wrist to avoid being exposed after her transformation, and put it back on her hand.
Lu Yan almost fell into a trance as he put the ring back on. The familiar golden spiritual power contained within it proved that his intuition was correct; the ring did indeed belong to him. The one on her hand was a little smaller, and the two rings became slightly warm due to their mutual resonance.
Seeing his actions, her eyes reddened slightly.
"This is our wedding ring."
"Wedding ring..." Lu Yan frowned slightly. To his surprise, he wasn't too surprised by this word.
Xia Yixin tried to hold his hand, and this time he didn't pull away. Their hands slowly intertwined.
“My name is Xia Yixin, and your name isn’t Zhang Feng, it’s Lu Yan. We are husband and wife, and Chenxi is the base we built together. About a month ago, you suddenly disappeared. You were originally an eighth-level zombie emperor, but now you’ve been promoted to ninth level. Do you remember me?”
Xia Yixin looked at Lu Yan with hope.
He remained silent for a long while, then suddenly looked up and said, "I remember you."
Before Xia Yixin could even feel happy, she heard the second half of his sentence.
“I remember fighting you when I was still in my Black Panther form.”
"..." She silently sighed, realizing she had been too naive.
"Forget it, there's no rush. You've already remembered some things, and you'll remember everything sooner or later. All you need to know now is that I truly won't hurt you, Lu Yan. I'm here to take you home. Shall we go back to Chenxi together?"
Xia Yixin hadn't expected to persuade him immediately. Seeing his expected frown and deep thought, she was about to produce some more evidence when, unexpectedly, her hand tightened, and he pulled her over using their clasped hands.
A man asked in a serious tone, "We are husband and wife, so why are you a virgin?"
"..." What kind of question is this?
Xia Yixin felt completely bewildered by this person's sudden question, which made her face turn bright red. She broke free from him and gave a dry laugh.
"Well... this is a very complicated situation. You weren't always in Black Panther form before, so you understand."
"Then tell me how we fell in love." Lu Yan simply sat down, looking like he was listening to a story.
Just as Xia Yixin was about to speak, the system notification in her mind said, "Ding, the host must not reveal his transmigrated identity, nor can he reveal the situation of other planes, otherwise he will be immediately eliminated."
Xia Yixin was a little worried. In this world alone, she and Lu Yan really didn't have a love story.
Her silence fueled the growing distrust and suspicion in Lu Yan's eyes.
With a heavy heart, she simply said, "Instead of me telling you, you should experience it for yourself."
After she finished speaking, she mustered up her courage and leaned in to kiss him.
Lu Yan's tense nerves relaxed without him realizing it, and he instinctively took the initiative.
For Lu Yan, what surprised him most was not that he didn't mind her getting close, but that he readily accepted the conclusion that he "didn't mind".
She is his.
A strong instinct told him this fact again and again.
A day earlier, he had nothing but an unfamiliar name.
But now that he has a wife, his previously incomprehensible emotions have a reasonable explanation.
He felt guilty in those fragmented memories.
Hidden beneath the guilt was intense worry and anxiety.
All these emotions seemed to have found a breakthrough.
For Xia Yixin, the intense longing and love had long since made her vulnerable.
However, it wasn't a suitable place for anything to happen, so Xia Yixin quickly regained her composure. Unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to want to.
Just then, soft footsteps came from outside.
Someone's eavesdropping!
Outside, the guards at P base hadn't gone far either; the fire of gossip burned in their hearts.
Previously, Xia Yixin had always appeared calm and powerful in front of them, which made them curious and excited.
Unfortunately, a loud thud soon came from inside the room, like someone being pushed off the bed.
Just as they were about to eavesdrop again, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and they made a quick getaway.
Xia Yixin opened the door and glared at the man.
The man, who had gotten the better deal but was now acting innocent, responded with a provocative smile, "Continue?"
"Continue my ass, it's filthy." Xia Yixin was referring to the environment here.
Lu Yan misunderstood, thinking she was referring to him. He admitted that he used to spend all his time fighting with men and didn't smell very good.
But that's not a problem.
He braced himself against the doorframe, cornering her. "Once I'm clean, you won't be able to escape, madam."
Xia Yixin grunted before suddenly realizing what he meant and looked at him in surprise, "What did you just call me?"
It has to be said that the human subconscious is incredibly powerful.
The only pity is that Lu Yan's last memory started with her fighting with him outside Chenxi. He can't remember how he controlled it or who controlled it before that.
Although Lu Yan had not regained his memory, his possessive male instincts kicked in after the two confirmed their relationship.
Especially when Chen Zhe returned that afternoon, Lu Yan felt threatened when he saw the man who stepped out of the car, exuding an aura of authority from his entourage, looking at her with undisguised focus and anxiety.
Chen Zhe also noticed the man who followed Xia Yixin out of the motel.
The two tacitly acknowledged their rivalry.
Since most of the people rescued this time did not have superpowers, they had to speed up their return to the P base for safety reasons. After a short rest, they quickly resumed their journey back.
After driving for six hours, they reached the border of Y Province. Once they were safe, they took a short break at a roadside gas station supermarket. Because they had plenty of supplies and there were many girls, they ate a hot stew on an alcohol stove. Although the taste was so-so, it drove away the chill of the long journey.
During this time, something interesting happened. Liu Lan was overjoyed to be reunited with her daughter after a long separation. The little one she was taking care of unexpectedly awakened a metal-type ability.
Perhaps because Lu Yan is also of the metal element, the little guy was very curious about him. While eating, he kept making noises towards Lu Yan from Liu Lan's arms, but Lu Yan pretended not to see him, not wanting to lose his tough guy image.
Xia Yixin found it interesting and picked up the little one to play with for a long time. She also discovered that the little one was actually a girl. Children born with special abilities tend to develop faster than ordinary people. She vaguely felt that this little one's future should not be underestimated.
