Feng Xingzhi hadn't noticed the change in Ji Yunxi's eyes yet. He was only concerned about her well - being.
"Xixi, how do you feel? Does your head still hurt?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
Feng Xingzhi paused. The hand that had just helped Ji Yunxi sit up slowly retracted.
She was too calm.
Feng Xingzhi thought that after getting along with her for some time, he knew Ji Yunxi well.
But when had she ever been so cold - tempered?
Feng Xingzhi instinctively turned to look at Lu Shu and Qing Xuan.
The two of them also noticed that something was wrong with Ji Yunxi. They frowned slightly and looked at her, their faces full of confusion.
Ji Yunxi knew that they were all close to her, and any slight change in her would be obvious to them. She didn't intend to hide it.
"I've remembered everything."
Remembered everything? Feng Xingzhi didn't quite understand when he heard this.
Ji Yunxi didn't rush to respond to him. Instead, she said to Lu Shu, "A Shu, you've worked hard all these years."
Her tone was cold yet gentle, just like when she used to teach Lu Shu.
Lu Shu's eyes immediately turned red when he heard the name "A Shu".
It had been so long. He hadn't heard this tone and this address for ages.
Back then, he had a lively personality and always caused trouble. If he made a mistake, he would be dragged to the training ground by the Lord of the Jiang Pavilion for a hearty fight. Although he would have to stay in bed for the next few days, he would also receive the Lord's affectionate head - pat and praise.
Moreover, Jiang Yunxi could always find him in no time. Every time he stole food from the restaurant, he would be caught by the Lord.
Although the Lord would scold him for being greedy, she would then tell the cook to add an extra drumstick for him, saying that he was still growing.
All these things seemed to have happened just yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, so many years had passed.
Ji Yunxi saw that he didn't say a word for a long time. She just smiled faintly and said nothing.
Lu Shu struggled out of his memories. He knelt down with a sob, "It's not hard. As long as the Lord is back, A Shu isn't suffering at all."
After saying that, Lu Shu quickly wiped the tears from his face.
Qing Xuan burst out laughing, "You brat can even cry? Be more manly, okay?"
Lu Shu looked up and glared at him, then looked at Ji Yunxi obediently.
"Get up. You weren't this obedient before."
Lu Shu laughed through his tears, "I've been very obedient when the Lord was away."
Ji Yunxi nodded, "I've seen it. You've managed the Dream - Blossom Pavilion very well. I'm very relieved."
Lu Shu's face gradually turned red. Although so much time had passed and he was no longer the silly boy he used to be, he was still as innocent as ever in front of the Lord.
"Lord, it's so good that you're back. With the Lord here, we don't have to be on guard against those second - rate guys from the Moon - Watching Pavilion anymore."
Ji Yunxi didn't answer. She had just returned and wasn't familiar with the current situation, so she couldn't say anything.
Qing Xuan had been smiling. He thought Lu Shu was like a child, noisy and completely different from his previous cold and proud self.
He didn't realize that he was the same way, or even worse.
When he woke up from the chaos, he remembered nothing but his master. If it was admiration, he, Qing Xuan, had plenty of it.
Ji Yunxi looked at the wisp of smoke, her eyes full of longing and gratitude.
"A Xuan, thank you."
Qing Xuan's smile suddenly stopped. He was stunned.
This tone was so familiar, as if an old friend had suddenly appeared. Just hearing her voice could tug at his heartstrings.
Qing Xuan couldn't remember anything, but his tears seemed to remember for him. They welled up unexpectedly.
Even though he was just a wisp of mist, Qing Xuan was afraid of being seen through. He quickly turned his head away.
Ji Yunxi showed the first smile since she woke up, "Thank you for waiting for me for so long. But after all these years, you're still so prone to crying?"
Qing Xuan said with a nasal voice, "Nonsense. I just, just laughed so hard that I shed tears."
Ji Yunxi didn't tease him anymore. She just sized him up and began to think about how to help him.
Feng Xingzhi had been ignored all this time. He saw the changes in their attitudes clearly.
He felt a little flustered. The current Ji Yunxi was a bit strange to him. She was not the girl he knew.
She was steady, cold, like a snow lotus on a high mountain, sacred and inviolable.
Feng Xingzhi wanted to take two steps back to see her face clearly, but he couldn't move his feet. He just wanted to stay by her side.
Previously, in order to help her up, Feng Xingzhi had almost pulled her into his arms. Now Ji Yunxi was talking to the other two in his embrace.
Lu Shu and Qing Xuan stopped talking, but Ji Yunxi still didn't pay attention to Feng Xingzhi.
The feeling of panic deepened. Feng Xingzhi felt that if he didn't say something, it would be like he was being sentenced today.
"Xixi, I..." Feng Xingzhi was at a loss.
Ji Yunxi had been trying to avoid this. The moment she woke up, she saw Feng Xingzhi.
There was a saying that one becomes timid when approaching home. That was exactly how Ji Yunxi felt. She was happy to see Feng Xingzhi, but looking at his face, her heart was full of bitterness.
It seemed like they had just met yesterday, but so many things had happened in between.
Reincarnation seemed to be playing tricks on them. Every time, Ji Yunxi would die in Feng Xingzhi's arms.
That heart - wrenching pain was felt not only by the living Feng Xingzhi but also by the reluctant - to - die Ji Yunxi.
And after that incident...
"A Zhi, you finally forgot about me..."
Feng Xingzhi felt as if something had struck his heart. He felt a bit sad for a moment.
"Xixi, what did I forget?"
Feng Xingzhi felt that these words didn't seem to come from his own mouth. It was as if his soul had asked for him.
But Ji Yunxi didn't answer. She just looked at him deeply, with sadness in her eyes, and then shook her head.
Qing Xuan and Lu Shu were very perceptive. Seeing that the two of them had something to say, they pushed each other out.
The two of them didn't say a word.
The vague dreams Ji Yunxi had in the past became clear.
She always looked forward to marrying him, but she died on the wedding day in every life.
She couldn't bear to leave him alone, so Feng Xingzhi's desperate face in each life was deeply engraved in Ji Yunxi's mind.
But now Feng Xingzhi had forgotten everything, everything between them.
Ji Yunxi felt that he was him, but also seemed not to be him.
Feng Xingzhi kept looking at her, trying to figure out what he had forgotten, but he couldn't remember anything. He only knew that he was Feng Xingzhi and she was his fiancée.
Ji Yunxi took a deep breath. She looked at Feng Xingzhi for a while, then lowered her head.
"You can go out first. I want to be alone for a while."
Feng Xingzhi's face turned pale. He forced a smile, "Then you, rest well."
The door was closed. The room seemed like a world of its own, with only Ji Yunxi left.
