Wang Tong halted his practice as soon as he made the unexpected discovery. After all, it would be fairly dangerous to train in an environment with extreme weather. Since his ”mission” had been accomplished, Wang Tong decided to head back after remembering the five responding genome sources.
”Mr. Wang Tong, are you practicing some kind of sorcery in the middle of this beautiful environment?” Li Ruo-Er said as she approached Wang Tong, followed by the shy Ma Xiaoru.
”You are...” Wang Tong glanced at the unexpected ”guest”. He wasn’t sure who was the person in the thick jacket that was standing behind, but Wang Tong was sure that both of them were from Capth.
”You little- !” At first, Li Ruo-Er was surprised by the fact that he didn’t remember her. But she immediately realized that he did that on purpose, ”I didn’t know you’re so forgetful, Wang Tong.”
”Ahh, isn’t this the famous Ms. Li Ruo-Er? I’m guessing you must have something important to tell me since you’ve been stalking me for the whole day, eh?” Wang Tong reacted coldly. This was not what Li Ruo-Er expected.
”Who said I’m stalking? This place isn’t yours, and clearly, we’re just going for a stroll.”
”Really? Well farewell then. Sorry for interrupting your stroll.” Wang Tong was not interested in mingling with the bossy young lady of House of Li.
”Ah, before you go, I just wanna say me and my friend here LOVED your dance. I didn’t know you’re such a good dancer.” Li Ruo-Er said as soon as she noticed that Wang Tong was trying to leave. Since she had been following him for the whole day in this cold weather, of course, she would never give up the chance to mess with him.
Wang Tong gave her a cold grin and said, ”May I know what are you trying to say?”
Wang Tong had never liked Li Ruo-Er’s guts, perhaps it was due to her aggressive and bossy attitude like a spoiled princess.
”Ruo-Er, let’s go back.” Ma Xiaoru was afraid that this might turn into a fight, so she went forward and stopped Li Ruo-Er.
As Wang Tong was about to leave, he was startled and turned around upon hearing that familiar voice… He had always been wishing to see Ma Xiaoru again. In fact, Wang Tong got a bit emotional as he recalled all the happiness and regret all these times, but Ma Xiaoru didn’t notice that.
On the other hand, Li Ruo-Er was fairly happy. Things were about to get even more interesting.
Unlike the other animals, humans were born with complicated emotions, and the basics of Tactics of the Enchantress was none other than the manipulation of emotions.
”Oh, now you’re not leaving?” Li Ruo-Er said suddenly.
Wang Tong couldn’t move a muscle, no wonder those glittering eyes looked so familiar…
Ma Xiaoru was feeling weird as the stranger in front of him stared at her, ”Sorry if we disturbed you, Mr. Wang Tong. We were just a bit worried when we saw you wandering around. We mean no harm.”
Wang Tong remained silent. Ma Xiaoru’s voice didn’t change at all. He couldn’t help remembering all those days and nights they spent discussing and doing revisions together, as well as all those ups and downs they had been through together. Sadly, the Ma Xiaoru he knew didn’t exist anymore…
The current Ma Xiaoru standing in front of him was just a stranger with no memories of all those times they spent together.
Wang Tong suddenly remembered that Samantha once told him that Ma Xiaoru needed to be treated with care, especially not to bring up anything in the past since her memories for the last six months had been sealed away.
Wang Tong began to suspect Li Ruo-Er was trying to mess with him. After all, she knew about Ma Xiaoru’s condition, yet she chose to bring her along.
”Why don’t we head back together.” Wang Tong decided not to mingle with her for good.
”Oh? But we wanna stay here for a little longer.”
”Ms. Li Ruo-Er, the climate in the Polar Region is extremely unpredictable. We shouldn’t be staying here for too long.”
Ma Xiaoru felt strange as she checked on the guy in front of her. Apparently, this boy named Wang Tong seemed to care a lot about her, totally different from what she expected the masked dancer would be.
”Are you the masked dancer?” Ma Xiaoru asked all of a sudden.
Wang Tong turned towards Ma Xiaoru. To be honest, he was dying to see that familiar face again, but he chose to hold back his emotions. After all, his heart was still quite complicated.
”Yes, but please don’t tell anyone else. That’s only a one-time thing.” Wang Tong admitted confidently.
Ma Xiaoru nodded her head. Actually, she was quite touched, because the whole world was busy finding the real identity of the masked dancer yet Wang Tong didn’t deny. She didn’t expect that he would trust the two of them.
