Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan was stunned.

His eyes were calm and firm, like a sword drawn from its sheath, indestructible.

Ever since she met him, she knew that he was a man like a sword.

He knows what he wants and what he does. His feelings are hard to come by, but once he gets them, they are as solid as a rock or a long sword, indestructible.

This kind of feeling has a fatal attraction to her.

He was like a gift from God to her, luring her, step by step, into eternal damnation.

He will love her.

She is not alone.

This is a fantasy that only she remembers.

But here, no matter what she said or did, the person in front of her would not remember it.

When they get out, she is still Young Master Hua, and he is still Lord Qingheng.

Something was echoing in her heart. This thought made her lean forward slightly. She stopped in front of Xie Changji, looked into the boy's calm and deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "You know, I am actually a very selfish person."

"I can't give you the same feeling." She raised her hand and stroked his eyebrows.

"I can't give you any promises, any future." Her fingertips slid all the way down to his chest.

"I am narrow-minded and mean. I have many people and many things in my heart. You are insignificant in my heart—" She raised her eyes and looked into his eyes that seemed to know everything. "But I miss you loving me."

"I know."

Xie Changji spoke calmly. He raised his hand and held her hand. He suddenly realized that this sentence was not that difficult.

During the time when he lost his memory, she taught him again and again, and he understood like and love, dislike and hatred.

No one had ever told him how to express those complicated and distant emotions, but Hua Xiangwan taught him.

He looked at Hua Xiangwan seriously and said calmly: "I love you."

Hua Xiangwan listened, she lowered her head, and couldn't help wanting to laugh.

If Xie Changji remembered everything, he would not be able to say this.

But she was content. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and replied, "Yeah."

"From now on, I can learn anything you like." He looked at her eyes and said seriously, "I learn things very quickly, but I don't know what to do."

"I know."

She had always known this.

From the moment she met him, she knew that he had an extraordinary keen intelligence about the world. He understood what everyone was thinking and could accurately detect the good or evil emotions of others. But unfortunately, he could not understand.

He knew that everyone would be happy watching the young man dancing, and that this was a way to please others, but it was difficult for him to understand why those people were really happy, and it was also difficult for him to understand under what circumstances he should dance this dance.

The Sky Sword Sect brought him up with a blank slate about the world. He seemed to know everything, but in fact, he knew nothing.

He is the person closest to the Way of Heaven. The so-called Way of Heaven is to observe the love and hate of people in this world indifferently, and even be able to infer the cause and effect of these people's future, but he will never truly experience love and hate.

It was not easy for him to do this for her.

"I don't need you to learn anything," she put her hands on his face, "If you want to make me happy, I'll teach you."

Xie Changji looked at her seriously.

Hua Xiangwan pursed her lips and smiled, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Call me sister."

Xie Changji was stunned. He turned his head to look at her and saw that she had a look of taking advantage of him. After watching her for a while, he knew that she was joking.

"Go to sleep."

He chuckled, held her waist with both hands like he was holding a child, lifted her up and put her on the bed.

"I'll go wash up, you go to bed first."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the purification room.

Hua Xiangwan then noticed the faint red spots on his clothes. She called him, "What's that on your clothes? Are you injured?"

When Xie Changji heard this, he looked down at his clothes and saw blood seeping out. He calmed down and shook his head, explaining: "There are plum blossoms on the clothes."

"oh."

Hua Xiangwan had no doubts and Xie Changji walked into the clean room.

He took off his clothes, raised his hands, and looked at the dense wounds on his arms.

The wounds caused by the spiritual power riot were not easy to heal, but he didn't want Hua Xiangwan to see it.

He mobilized his spiritual power, and when it was almost exhausted, the wounds on his body were finally healed.

He felt relieved, destroyed the clothes, washed them simply, and then went back.

Hua Xiangwan had already fallen asleep. He walked to the bedside, sat beside her and quietly looked at Hua Xiangwan's profile.

In fact, she didn't want him to remember.

He knows.

What she wanted was the seventeen-year-old Xie Changji who remembered nothing.

Xie Changji lowered his eyes, and after a long time, he went to bed and held her in his arms.

"I love you."

He whispered it again. He had carefully experienced every word, feeling the emotions flowing in his heart and his blood.

Hua Xiangwan felt a little tired. When she woke up the next day, she found that the house had been cleaned.

Hua Xiangwan yawned, stood up, walked out of the room, and saw Hu Mian and Qin Xinsheng sitting in the courtyard.

Hu Mian fed Qin Xiansheng food, with a considerate look on his face: "Come on, open your mouth, ah——"

Qin Xuansheng frowned slightly, as if he was unhappy, and said, "I can do it myself."

"Give me a chance to take care of you," Hu Mian slapped his hand that was trying to grab the bowl, "Come on, ah——"

Hua Xiangwan watched the scene, leaning to the side, watching them.

"Someone's coming." Although Qin Xiansheng couldn't see, he sensed Hua Xiangwan's presence, blushed, and scolded Hu Mian, "Have some shame."

"Oh, you've given up on me." Hu Mian pouted when she heard this, "You got me, but you don't cherish me..."

"Fox Sleep!"

Qin Xiansheng saw that she was getting more and more ridiculous, so he interrupted her: "Stop talking nonsense, feed me!"

"Wanwan."

Hua Xiangwan was watching with great interest when she suddenly heard Xie Changji's voice from the side. She turned around and saw Xie Changji coming towards her with something in his hand.

He seemed to be no different from before, except that he changed his address from "sister" to "Wanwan". She raised her eyebrows and saw him carrying a plate of food: "Today I bought soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, shrimp dumplings, red date cakes, and also cooked noodles." As he spoke, he raised his head, "What do you want to eat?"

"Xie Changji," Hu Mian suddenly reacted after hearing what Xie Changji said. He turned around and was quite shocked. "You prepared so much, and you only gave me a bowl of egg custard?!"

"I'm not a cook. If you want to eat, you can cook it yourself." Xie Changji said confidently, "Or you can wait for Wanwan to pick out the leftovers."

"Wanqiu, look at this wolf cub you raised!" Hu Mian immediately looked up at Hua Xiangwan after hearing what Xie Changji said, "Are you going to take care of it?"

“Yes.”

Hua Xiangwan grabbed a bun, took a bite, and said vaguely: "You patients can just eat as much as you want. It's not good to eat too much."

Hua Xiangwan turned to look at Xie Changji and asked, "Is Master Shen awake?"

"Wake up, waiting in the restaurant."

"Then go ahead."

Hua Xiangwan said this and walked towards the restaurant.

Shen Yichen was waiting there early, looking down at the letter.

He looked much better. Seeing Hua Xiangwan and Xie Changji approaching, he smiled and put the letter into his sleeve: "Are you here?"

"Is Mr. Shen feeling better?"

Hua Xiangwan sat opposite Shen Yichen, Xie Changji put the food on the table and sat between them.

Shen Yichen listened to Hua Xiangwan's question and smiled: "It's just a minor injury. I recovered last night."

"Wu Mei, that bastard," Hu Mian listened to their conversation and walked in with Qin Xinsheng. When she talked about this, she looked a little angry and sat down at the table. "If they bully you, I will destroy their Wu Gu Sect sooner or later!"

"Sister, don't talk nonsense like that," Shen Yichen shook his head to dissuade Hu Mian after hearing her words, "Wu Mei is Wu Mei, Wu Gu Zong is Wu Gu Zong, if you talk like that, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble."

"Misfortune? If they have the guts, they can come find me."

Hu Mian sneered: "Now they are clearly setting a trap for He Huan Palace, and I am still afraid of bad things? I will go back to the Palace Master and explain this matter, and the Palace Master will want them to be finished!"

Hu Mian cursed at someone, and then she remembered, "Yi Chen, when are you leaving?"

"We have to leave tomorrow," Shen Yichen smiled, "otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late."

"That's right," Hu Mian nodded, "Then let's have a good meal tomorrow to see you off."

"good."

After a discussion, Hu Mian informed He Huan Palace of the news about the Wu Gu Sect. Yu Gu was the one who received the news. After she heard the words, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I will discuss this matter with the Palace Master. You don't need to make it public for now."

Hu Mian was very dissatisfied with this. When the group was having dinner the next day, he turned around and complained to Hua Xiangwan: "It's not a big deal. Wu Mei hurt our people. We should just come to our door and fight. Why do we need to discuss it?"

Hua Xiangwan listened. When she was young, she was just like Hu Mian. When the Hehuan Palace was powerful, she never thought much about it and was always arrogant and outspoken.

But now, after hearing these words, she already understood Yu Gu's concerns.

She lowered her head and poured wine for Hu Mian, saying gently, "Wu Mei hurt Master Shen, but she also killed someone to atone for her crime. After all, she is the right envoy of the Wu Gu Sect. Although Master Shen has a deep relationship with us in He Huan Palace, he is just a guest official. If He Huan Palace were to forcefully cause trouble, it would not be justified. Others would think that she is bullying others by taking advantage of her power."

If you injure a guest official, you will be punished with your life.

Hehuan Palace already had many enemies. If she remembered correctly, by now, her mother should have figured out that she was about to pass the calamity, and it was time for Hehuan Palace to recuperate.

But these Hu Mian couldn't figure it out, she just frowned: "Where did you learn these twists and turns? She just killed that person on purpose to show us, is human life important in Wu Gu Sect? It's unacceptable, it's unacceptable, in the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, if you don't agree, you have to fight."

"Senior Sister Wanqiu is right."

Shen Yichen listened at the side and finally spoke: "Senior Sister, please calm down."

"Okay, okay," Hu Mian saw that everyone was talking about her, and quickly raised her hands, "I was wrong, stop talking, and drink quickly. After drinking, you can go to Yunlai to find A Wan," Hu Mian glared at him with one eye, "Don't make things difficult for me."

Shen Yichen smiled but said nothing. Hu Mian raised his cup and said, "Come on, let's drink together."

The five of them toasted together, eating and drinking until dusk. Hu Mian looked at the sky and said, "Hey, it's almost time, Yi Chen, is it okay for you to sail at night?"

"I'll sail the boat," Shen Yichen said with a smile in his eyes, "Don't worry."

Hu Mian didn't know Shen Yichen's identity, but with a mermaid sailing on the ship, how could he be worried?

Water is their homeland, they don't even need boats.

"Let's go," Hu Mian stood up, "We'll take you to the dock."

With that, everyone stood up. Hu Mian gave the money and led everyone forward.

She hung on Qin Xinsheng, and the two of them walked happily in front. Shen Yichen hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Xie Changji: "I want to say a few words to Senior Sister Wanqiu."

Xie Changji paused, glanced at Hua Xiangwan, and when he saw Hua Xiangwan nod, he said, "Okay."

He lagged behind by a few steps, and followed far behind. Hua Xiangwan and Shen Yichen walked side by side. Shen Yichen said calmly, "I went to Yunlai. Are you happy?"

“Happy.”

Hua Xiangwan responded and Shen Yichen nodded.

He turned around to look at Xie Changji who was following him from a distance, then turned back to look at her: "What did you say to him?"

"Tell me the truth."

Hua Xiangwan looked at the night market set up around her, with her hands behind her back: "I hope he can stay by my side, as if nothing happened, but I can't give him the same feelings."

"Ah Wan..."

"I know it's not fair, but I'm just being willful this time."

Hua Xiangwan turned around and chuckled, "Anyway, he won't remember it once he leaves here, so it won't have much of an impact."

"What on earth are you doing?"

Shen Yichen didn't understand. Hua Xiangwan was silent. After a while, she slowly spoke: "I can't tell you what I did specifically, but I can tell you this -"

She smiled and said, "See you in the future."

Tell a dead person we'll meet again in the future.

Either we come back from the dead, or we meet in the underworld.

Shen Yichen was speechless. Hua Xiangwan was very happy: "You don't have to worry. I am not a child anymore. I know what I want and what I should do. Don't worry."

As they spoke, the group arrived at the pier. Hu Mian and Qin Xiansheng linked their arms and turned around. Hu Mian shouted at Shen Yichen, "Yichen, let's go."

Shen Yichen looked down at Hua Xiangwan for a long time before asking, "What will happen next?"

"In half a year, I will return to Hehuan Palace. In a month, my mother will fail in her calamity escape and Hehuan Palace will be destroyed."

"But this time is different," Hua Xiangwan raised her head, hoping that he would be relieved, "This time, thank you Changji for being here."

Shen Yichen didn't say anything, he seemed a little sad.

"Ah Wan," he began, "I left too early."

Hua Xiangwan was stunned for a moment. Shen Yichen stretched out his hand, and he hugged her gently. Then he turned and left without saying anything.

Hua Xiangwan watched him leave from behind as he boarded the ship that would never return. Xie Changji quietly stood beside her and held her in his arms from behind.

Hu Mian and Qin Xinsheng sent Shen Yichen away, and then came back. She had drunk some wine and was in a good mood. When she came back, she informed Hua Xiangwan: "Xinsheng and I are going shopping, how about you guys?"

"I'll follow you."

Hua Xiangwan raised an eyebrow: "Want to get rid of me?"

“Tsk.”

Hu Mian was quite disgusted. "If you want to go shopping, go ahead. Let's go."

Having said that, Hu Mian took Qin Xiansheng's arm and turned to walk towards the long street.

The two of them chatted and laughed. Qin Xiansheng didn't smile much, but he was always listening to Hu Mian talking. Hua Xiangwan watched from a distance, feeling inexplicably jealous.

She turned her head to look at Xie Changji beside her, thought for a moment, and then put her arm around Xie Changji's.

Xie Changji was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hua Xiangwan and raised his eyebrows: "You won't let me hold your hand?"

"No," Xie Changji responded quickly. He smiled and expressed his emotions fluently, "I'm very happy."

This is what Hua Xiangwan taught seventeen-year-old Xie Changji.

Hua Xiangwan leaned on Xie Changji, and followed Hu Mian and Qin Xinsheng not too far away.

Xie Changji turned to look at her under the light, thought for a moment, and finally asked, "What did Shen Yichen say to you?"

"Nothing much, just asked about what will happen next."

"Later?"

When Xie Changji asked, Hua Xiangwan suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have explained the current situation to Xie Changji in detail.

So she described in detail how they entered the painting. Xie Changji listened quietly. When she finished, he seemed to be puzzled: "Why did I follow you into the painting?"

"Uh..." Hua Xiangwan hesitated, wondering whether or not to lie to Xie Changji.

Xie Changji observed her expression and continued to ask, "You said I was your brother before, but then you said I wasn't. You said I was someone you liked before. Now that you have done something important, what is your important thing? Who am I to you?"

"This is... a long story."

Hua Xiangwan struggled, looking at Xie Changji who was asking questions seriously, she couldn't bear to lie, so she could only answer honestly: "In short... when we entered the painting, you and I were husband and wife in name only."

"couple?"

Xie Changji seemed to be puzzled: "Are you and I married?"

Hua Xiangwan nodded and said with a guilty conscience: "Ah, we are married, but in essence, we are just doing a deal. Shen Yichen just talked to me," Hua Xiangwan quickly brought the subject back, quite seriously, "There is something I have to inform you in advance."

"What is it?"

"Actually, I'm not late autumn."

Hua Xiangwan spoke seriously. Xie Changji nodded and listened carefully to Hua Xiangwan's true identity: "I am the Young Master of Hehuan Palace, Hua Xiangwan."

"in this way."

Xie Changji seemed to be thinking: "What does that have to do with the present?"

"So in half a year, I will return to Huan Palace as the young master. Don't be too surprised then."

"good."

Hua Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the topic was successfully avoided. She raised her head and looked at Fox Sleeping not far away.

Qin Xiansheng seemed to have bought her a hairpin. The young man carefully inserted the hairpin into her hair bun. With a smile on her face, she raised her head and said something.

Qin Xiansheng had a smile on his face. At this moment, not far away, someone launched fireworks, which soared into the sky and blossomed beautifully in the sky.

Everyone looked up at the fireworks, but Qin Xiansheng lowered his head and kissed Hu Mian on the lips.

Hu Mian was stunned for a moment, then reached out and put his arms around Qin Xiansheng's neck.

Hua Xiangwan looked at him from afar. She didn't know why, but at that moment, she actually felt a little jealous.

Her life was not smooth, and she was used to envying others in many ways.

However, as the fireworks exploded, she suddenly heard someone calling her, "Wanwan."

She turned around blankly, and saw the boy lower his head and kiss her lightly on the lips.

She looked at the fireworks in the distance and heard someone shouting, "Master Gao presents a gift to Madam Pei—"

She felt that the boy was as gentle as drizzling rain, which watered her dry heart and made her close her eyes.

She put her arms around his neck and stood on tiptoe.

Xie Changji sensed her response, put his hands around her waist and deepened the kiss.

When the fireworks were gone, Hua Xiangwan was almost hanging on him. She panted softly and listened to him ask, "Can I kiss you again?"

Hua Xiangwan smiled, raised her eyes, and asked, "What do you think?"

Xie Changji's breathing paused for a moment, and after a moment, Hua Xiangwan only felt a cool breeze, and she had already reached the alley next to her.

He held her tightly in his arms, forced her to raise her head, then lowered his head and kissed her.

This time he kissed her anxiously, which was completely different from the illusion and dream.

The touch of the person in his arms was so real, her breath, her temperature, the touch of her tightly against him, all made him excited and happy.

There were people coming and going all around, traffic was busy not far away, and the lights were bright.

They kissed again and again in the dark.

He pressed her against the wall, feeling her whole body hanging on him and leaning on him, and he felt like his whole heart was filled with something.

Since she didn't refuse or stop him, he couldn't control himself.

She was completely limp like a pool of spring water, and had no consciousness at all. It was not until the moment he invaded that she suddenly became aware and hurriedly said, "Boundary...Boundary..."

Xie Changji didn't say anything. Their clothes were intact and the sounds around them were coming and going.

Hua Xiangwan raised her hand to set up a barrier, but Xie Changji grabbed her hand.

"Xie Changji..."

Hua Xiangwan gritted her teeth, her voice intermittent. Xie Changji lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Call me brother."

Hua Xiangwan said nothing. Xie Changji slid his hand along her spine, and his usually clear voice became hoarse: "Those who deceived me must pay it back."

Hua Xiangwan said nothing. After a while, tears appeared in her eyes. From a distance, she saw Hu Mian and Qin Xinsheng coming towards her. Her body trembled violently. Xie Changji noticed it and a smile appeared in his eyes.

The surrounding scene changed instantly, and the two fell into the bed together.

"Don't worry," Xie Changji pressed on her, interlacing his fingers with hers, "The barrier has already been set up."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her lips: "I can't bear to let you go, Wanwan."
