Zhu Xianyao was standing in her roo at the hen someone suddenly knocked on her door

Zhu Xianyao said, “Co a vial of medicine in his hand “This…… I came to…… return your medicine to you,” he stammered as he placed the vial of ht there!”

Su Chen stopped in his tracks

Zhu Xianyao turned around “Did I say that you could go?”

Su Chen scratched his head unabashedly, purposefully acting as if he didn’t knohat to say

Zhu Xianyao stared at hi as you could when you caed these past few days You aren’t as clingy and see yourself Since you proclaiood side, is this what you are trying to show me?”

Su Chen replied cal to show You didn’t like it when I was obsessed with you After I thought things through, I realized that the kind of person you like is a hero who can hold up the heavens singlehandedly, not a person like me who is nearly talentless If I want to win your affections, I need to cultivate hard and achieve so so that you’ll see me differently That’s what a real e, and I meant what I said”

Zhu Xianyao continued to stare intently at Su Chen “What you say is correct, but you’ve changed so quickly that I’ed into a different person, and this…… person feels very familiar”

Familiar?

Your memories of Su Chen have been almost completely wiped away How can this person still feel so familiar to you?

Su Chen couldn’t understand

However, things like h Su Chen had a technique to wipe away people’s memories, that didn’t mean that he could understand the the smack to the head, but that didn’t mean that you understood the exact mechanisms behind how memories worked

Su Chen was a bit shocked by what Zhu Xianyao had said, but he continued to act dumb “It wasn’t that fast Perhaps it’s just because you aren’t used to a person who used to follow you around all the tih you say that you’re distancing yourself from me, you were still the one who savedit in order to strengthen et closer to you first Froed Is it that strange that I saved you?” Su Chen replied

Su Chen’s explanation was so flawless that even he felt a bit intoxicated hihed “You indeed have improved quite a bit Even the way you speak is different frohted This means that my efforts have been quite successful,” Su Chen replied with a slight smile

“Yes, they have been very successful” Zhu Xianyao nodded

“But it’s not enough to get you to fall in love with ht?” Su Chen asked on purpose

Zhu Xianyao shook her head Su Chen purposefully sighed with disappointment, then said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll take h I haven’t fallen for you yet, you’re a friend that I can believe in If you have any needs in the future, please just letheard this, he would probably have been so excited that he would have jumped into the air

Su Chen was forced to eht, he said, “Since we are now friends that trust each other, I have a question that I’ive you an answer, I will”

“Why are you so interested in Kapius’s secrets? Is it just for the sake of money?”
