LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 29: Precious Memories
Although Chen Ling couldn’t hear Sui Li’er because of the earplugs, he sensed that the door had opened. He turned his head in confusion and saw Sui Li’er with her mouth slightly agape, her bright beautiful eyes wide open.
She stared at him sitting on the bed, dumbfounded.
The air seemed to freeze once again.
Sui Li’er: “…”
Chen Ling: “…”
Both of them seemed to hold their breath, their eyes locked in a wide-eyed gaze. But their hearts couldn’t help but race simultaneously.
Finally, Sui Li’er snapped back to reality and stood still at the door, slowly turning around. Without saying a word, she faced away from Chen Ling, visibly trembling.
Chen Ling: ????
So quiet?
Is this Sui Li’er?
Then, she took a deep breath and suddenly straightened her back.
“Ah~” A scream pierced through the night sky, incredibly loud and penetrating. If anyone could hear it, people on the three floors below should have heard this piercing scream.
Chen Ling was startled and trembled! What kind of move was this? Just when he thought she had calmed down?
Startled, he quickly pulled up the nearby blanket, feeling his head buzzing.
Then, mustering up some nerve, he said: “Stop screaming! Haven’t you seen it before? I’m not completely naked.”
“Sob… W-Why… Why aren’t you wearing anything?”
“I am wearing something! Can’t you see this big pair of underwear? Are you blind?”
His retort left Sui Li’er speechless. Although she had her back turned to Chen Ling at this moment, she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Blushing, she absentmindedly stared at the wall in front of her, where a majestic figure seemed to appear.
It wasn’t Chen Ling, but “little” Chen Ling.
I saw it all, I saw everything.
What is that thing! Is this something humans are supposed to have?
Why is it so big!?
Even though he wore big underwear, it couldn’t hide the imposing presence of little Chen Ling.
Meanwhile, Lin Moyu in the Main God Realm fell into silence, closing her eyes and falling into a rare quiet moment.
Chen Ling furrowed his brows tightly, his face turning red again. Why did she have to come in at this exact moment? He could only awkwardly attempt to change the subject: “Speaking of which, you, the shameless sleeper, have the nerve to talk about me?”
“Huh?”
Chen Ling clearly saw Sui Li’er tremble a little.
She stuttered with a trembling voice: “I-I-I covered myself with the blanket!”
Chen Ling: “Oh, well, good job. Now get out of here!”
“Uh… okay, okay…”
“Sob…” Sui Li’er quickly took small steps and left in a hurry.
“Why sobbing again, you didn’t see anything.” Chen Ling sarcastically commented, then lifted the blanket to get dressed.
Suddenly, Sui Li’er turned back, and a pale little hand appeared at the door. Chen Ling was startled and quickly covered himself with the blanket again.
“What? Haven’t you seen enough?”
“Sob… Sorry, I forgot to close the door.” As she spoke, her head didn’t even show, and the little hand gently grabbed the doorknob.
With a “bang,” the door closed.
Chen Ling was stunned and felt something was off: Wait a minute, I’m not naked. Why would I be afraid? When we go swimming, isn’t it normal for everyone to see each other?
This is weird.
Chen Ling sighed helplessly. There was no way he could fall asleep now. However, he didn’t plan on going out either.
But it’s so awkward.
Sui Li’er also ran back to her room for refuge, unable to face Chen Ling.
Hiding in her room, she tightly held her chest, her heart beating non-stop. Her mind was filled with the terrifying image of little Chen Ling breaking free from his restraints. Her eyes lost focus.
“Target Memory Block!”
Helpless, Chen Ling had to perform a memory blockade on Sui Li’er. He also included last night’s absurd memories caused by her period in the blockade. Only then did he finally feel relieved.
Forget it! Don’t ever remember it again in this lifetime!
He couldn’t understand why there were so many incidents in just two days. He initially thought that lying in bed and not getting up would solve everything. Five years of lying in bed, nothing would happen.
But he almost died of embarrassment last night.
In his impression, living together with the opposite sex was supposed to be sweet, just like in those anime that Mo Suyan usually watched, right? But here, there was no sweetness, only a genuine desire to die.
Meanwhile, Sui Li’er, whose memories were blocked, sat on the bed with a vacant gaze:
Huh? Who am I?
Where am I? What am I doing?
Wait, my memories…
Sui Li’er furrowed her brows and looked down at the bed and the room, the clothes in the wardrobe and the clothes on her body. She surveyed her surroundings, feeling perplexed.
She concentrated and started pondering. Why are my memories fragmented? Why can’t I recall them?
Normally, when Chen Ling blocks someone’s memories, most people wouldn’t care. It’s because they have too many memories, and people often forget things on their own. Some people walk and walk, and when they arrive at a place and turn back to look, they don’t remember how they got there. No one would pay attention to such things.
But Sui Li’er would!
These are memories about Chen Ling. Every minute and every second, she remembers them vividly. Whether it’s his smile or his frown, his fierceness or his gentleness, his seriousness or his carefree nonchalance, his thoughtfulness or his indifference.
In just two days of being together, every moment of intimacy, every awkward moment, every joy, every word, every letter, she remembers them all.
But now, there’s a problem with her memories!
It felt like the newly purchased phone screen shattered or forgetting the name of a just-made friend. It’s nauseating and uncomfortable.
But Sui Li’er was even more saddened. She thought it was because of the curse.
Does the curse not allow her to prove the existence of these memories? This has never happened before.
Upon careful recollection, she seems to have gradually forgotten the details of the orphanage as well. But that’s within her normal forgetting curve.
However, Chen Ling has been with her these past two days.
If it’s truly because of the curse, that means one day, she will forget everything about Chen Ling. At this thought, glistening tears suddenly overflowed from her beautiful eyes. The emotional breakdown happened in an instant. She was truly scared.
Chen Ling is her sole belief to keep living.
No, I don’t want to.
“Wuwuwu”
〚 Ding~ Target’s emotional breakdown: despair, – 100,000 points ! 〛
〚 – 100,000 points ! 〛
〚 – 100,000 points ! 〛
Chen Ling who was still awkwardly lying on the bed, paused for a moment.
But when he saw Sui Li’er’s emotional breakdown, his eyes narrowed, disregarding everything that had just happened.
What’s wrong?
Deducting 100,000 points ?
What he cared about wasn’t the disappearing points but rather, what happened to her that made her so upset.
Suddenly feeling anxious, he threw off the covers, intending to get dressed and find her immediately. Then he heard the hurried footsteps of Sui Li’er.
The next second, she appeared at his door, tears streaming down her face, and rushed in.
≧△≦
Chen Ling: ????
What’s going on? What happened?
“Wuwa!” Sui Li’er couldn’t hold back anymore as soon as she saw Chen Ling. She burst into tears, like a little kitten running toward its owner.
With a “bang,” she directly crashed into Chen Ling’s arms.
“Wuwa, I don’t want to.” Tears streamed down Sui Li’er’s face, gliding across her cheeks and falling onto his chest. At first, they were slightly warm, but quickly turned cold.
Chen Ling: Wait, I’m a bit confused. What happened?
“Mind-Reading Skill!”
Sui Li’er’s inner thoughts appeared one after another in the form of bullet comments in front of Chen Ling:
( I don’t want to forget you.)
( Help, I..I don’t want this..)
( No…)
Chen Ling: ??
Wasn’t the memory successfully blocked?
He glanced at the system, but the system clearly indicated that the memory block was successful. Then how did she become aware of it?
He couldn’t understand why she could realize that her memories had been erased.
Hey, I’m not wearing any clothes! Wake up! Girl!
Why did things turn out like this? Why was she shyly screaming just a moment ago and now so brave?
At this moment, Chen Ling became even more convinced of one thing: This person is truly an abnormal existence in the world.
