Chapter Fifty-Four Leaving

  As someone who doesn't have much special feelings, Jiang Nian is not at all uncomfortable with the truth. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with him and he doesn't need to pay attention to it. If because of this strange thing he gets himself into trouble, then he can only cry about it later.

  Then she said to Ye Qiheng, "Let's go back? It's so late and it's scary, I don't want to stay." And even less do I want to keep staying with you.

  Ye Qihen's left hand clenched tightly and then slowly relaxed, using his right hand to grab Jiang Nian's left wrist, walking in the direction of going back.

  Jiang Nian glanced back unconsciously as he left, the lake water under the moonlight appeared a deep blue, shrouded in a thin layer of fog, with ripples shimmering in the misty air, as if hiding a huge monster.

  That one glance would stay in Jiang Nian's heart forever, never fading. She turned her head and looked at Ye Qi Hen again, or perhaps it wasn't Ye Qi Hen after all. The person in that memory seemed to be called Beihemosis; what did he call himself? Ferris?

  Baiheimos... wasn't he the one who gave Lingyu a chance to exchange colors at first? Is this the same gentle and kind-looking man in front of me now? He doesn't look like it at all. And why did he... kiss himself?

  She was thinking, Ye Qi Heng turned his head again, looked at her, and used his hand to tidy up her slightly disheveled hair, asking again: "What exactly did you remember?"

  Jiang Nian's footsteps suddenly stopped, she knew that at this time she couldn't tell him that she remembered anything, nor was she sure why, it was just her intuition telling her that this matter would make Ye Qiheng aware of something. She slowly raised her head and carefully looked at Ye Qiheng, with a fake smile on her face that was identical to the one from earlier, so delicate that it felt unreal: "I don't know either, I probably only remember your name, and that I love you."

  This sentence would make a careful person feel impossible, but Ye Qi Hen just paused for a moment, he put his fingers on Jiang Nian's neck, his eyes were full of playfulness, as if a slight carelessness could strangle Jiang Nian's slender neck. However, at the last moment, he restrained himself and simply patted the wrinkles on Jiang Nian's collar with that hand, then turned around and walked back in the direction he came from alone.

  That figure in the moonlight was infinitely stretched, giving people an extremely desolate and painful feeling. Jiang Nian suddenly felt that everything in front of him was slowly becoming blurred, his nose was somehow sour, this scene overlapped with the silhouette from many years ago, disappearing before he could grasp it.

  She rubbed her nose in a nearly self-abusive manner, as if that would make it less painful. Then she followed Ye Qiheng's footsteps, keeping a distance of about one and a half people from him, neither of them speaking again.

  The road was extremely embarrassing and quiet. Ye Qianhen didn't stop all the way, and Jiang Nian didn't know why, even in Fenghuang City where the gravity was so strong that he was exhausted, he didn't say a word to stop walking. They just walked out like this.

  As soon as she went out, she felt that her body had become many times lighter, and she was a little excited. She took another look at Ye Qiyan, who seemed to be unaffected, and now walked at the same speed as before. She then recalled how this person had flown over the weak water with an unchanged expression, and thought that maybe this pervert wasn't affected by gravity at all?

  Ye Qihen turned around and looked at Jiang Nian, their eyes met, Ye Qihen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but hesitated, turned back, took two steps, without even turning his head: "Where are you going next?"

  Jiang Nian was somewhat unhappy and didn't dare to show it openly, but instead asked with a hint of provocation: "What's it to you? I'm just taking a stroll."

  Ye Qihen still didn't turn around, he was hesitating, not wanting to let Jiang Nian know that he understood everything about her so quickly, and could only make a sideways remark: "You're not going home?"

  "Not going back? Why should I go back?" I also want to go back, if that can be called home. But I have no idea where the other entrance is! How am I supposed to get back?

  She felt a bit resentful towards Doudou, thinking that although she was wrong to run away secretly at first, it had been so long and he still hadn't looked for her? Although the master of the Lychee tree could find her anytime, couldn't he just abandon her like this?

  She felt that she was now just a step away from pointing fingers at people, and facing Ye Qianyu, this person with an unknown identity, she didn't dare to say much more. She just hoped that DouDou could find her first, as for going back before then, she might as well spend some time wandering around with Ye Qianyu. Although this person's identity was problematic, she firmly believed he wouldn't harm her. It would be better to use this period of time to understand him more, see what it was about him that made her always feel soft-hearted towards him, and recall fragments of memories from the past that had no recollection, getting answers to unresolved questions.

  Her fake smile floated again behind Ye Qihen, although Ye Qihen couldn't see her, she was still on high alert: "Where do you want to go? I'll go with you?"
