Chapter 656: Unt.i.tled
Mo Jue felt his heart become chilly. He looked at Ye Wei in shock. He seemed to look at her in a manner that was judging yet probing, in disbelief yet desperation… In his purple eyes were mixed feelings.
Ye Wei looked at the many changes in his gaze but did not say anything until his emotions became calm. She then slowly said, “I have regained my memories. I remember who I am, and I remember who wiped my memories. I also remember… everything that happened in the past few days.”
Mo Jue suddenly turned his head around, seemingly wanted to avoid Ye Wei’s very calm gaze. He then gritted his teeth and turned his back. Since he should take responsibility for what he did, he should wholly bear her blaming and hating him for it. What was there to avoid?
“When?” Mo Jue calmly asked. There was no shock or agitation in his voice, and he did not defend himself at all.
“I regained them when Kahn was. .h.i.tting me.”
Mo Jue looked at her and laughed in self-mockery. “So you’ve remembered everything all these days. That explains why you want to leave me. That also explains… I knew it! After you regained your memories, you would do just all that… I knew it…”
When he reached the end, he seemed to be squeezing those words through gritted teeth with a shred of frustration and unwillingness.
Ye Wei twisted Mo Jue’s wrist extremely hard. Mo Jue raised his eyebrows in pain and stared at her. “What nonsense are you imagining? Like you have said, I might not have told you that I have regained my memories. Why should I take the risk of losing my memories again by telling you that I have regained my memories?”
Mo Jue frowned. Even if she lost her memories again, however the method, he would no longer hurt her. She had regained her memory, and he had had it easy and also a very happy life in the past few days.
How could he risk losing her by wiping her memories again? History would not repeat itself.
“I will not!” Mo Jue solemnly said. “Why are you telling me that?”
“I am telling you because I feel like it! Is there a reason for it?” Ye Wei coldly harrumphed. If he did not understand, so be it.
Mo Jue suddenly hugged her tightly to the point he almost crushed her. He wanted her to be in him so badly so that they would never part.
How could he not understand!
He kissed the twirls of her hair as he wrapped his arms around her tightly. “Wei Wei… Wei Wei…”
She was finally willing to give him that little trust, no?
She neither tested him nor hid it from him but openly cleared the air with him. He could feel her heart swaying. Her desire to leave him was no longer as intense as before. She seemed to be telling him that she was touched. Wasn’t a Ye Wei who shed tears for him a complete Ye Wei?
Would she, who had regained her memories, still shed tears for him?
“Dear Gorgeous Mo Jue, I’m already crippled in my legs, so please don’t cripple my hands too, please?” Why was he so d.a.m.n strong? Was she made of steel and did not know what pain was?
Mo Jue then realized how much force he was using and eased his grip. Thankfully, he did not press on her legs. Mo Jue looked at Ye Wei intensely with a few hints of elation. There was something he would never tell anybody or Ye Wei. When Ye Wei was on good terms with him in the past few days, he was wondering whether she would still be this nice toward him even if she regained her memories.
He ruminated on this thought many times, with each thought making him even tenser. Every time, he felt that if Ye Wei who had regained her memories would treat him the same, it would be perfect.
Before she lost her memories, he could only feel that transient estrangement from Ye Wei. He could feel her interest in him, but he could not even slightly feel that she would stay for him.
He felt that Ye Wei back then only liked him and did not love him.
The time he truly felt Ye Wei love him was when she had lost her memories. Mo Jue was both content and discontent. Ye Wei who had lost her memories was an innocent Ye Wei who had no baggage, which made for an even more real Ye Wei. She loved him, and he was extremely content. She, however, had lost twenty years of her memories and was, at the same time, incomplete, which left him discontent.
A certain thought always flashed through his mind. If she would still love him as much when she regained her memories, how wonderful would that be?
He did not understand why he would love—or more accurately speaking, was so smitten with her. He was so smitten with her to the point that he would never give up on her despite how she treated him. While he clearly knew the difficulties that lay ahead, he did not want to give up.
And his fondness for her only grew with each day.
He kept on asking himself what was so good about her, but a voice simply came from his heart. ‘She is just that good, to the point she is beyond words and without subst.i.tute.’
“Wei Wei, don’t hate me, okay?” Mo Jue looked at her deeply as he held her hand tightly.
“Shouldn’t I hate you?” Ye Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled gorgeously. She appreciated his somewhat apprehensive look. Such a moment was so hard to come by, so she should really appreciate it.
Little did she expect Mo Jue’s face to become glum just as she thought about it. All that trepidation on his face gave way to show an unprecedented toughness. “I do not regret it!”
Ye Wei raised her eyebrows and said, “That explains our occasional tensions since then until now. n.o.body would be willing to turn back to admit that they regretted what they did.”
“Who told you not to love me back then and remain by my side?” Mo Jue answered righteously as though Ye Wei did not love him and how she not remaining with him was an unpardonable crime.
She did not know whether to cry or laugh.
How were they related to each other?
“I am not willing to stay by your side now, so is it time to wipe my memories again?”
Mo Jue initially flew into a rage, then into ecstasy. “Do you just have to talk back to me to tell me how much you love me?”
Ye Wei was taken back.
Given how straightforward Mo Jue was, when did he start learning to pick out on the verbal tics of others?
That would do!
“You fool!” Ye Wei gently said and lazily yawned. “I am really tired and will sleep first. Good night!”
Ye Wei then lied down c.o.c.kily. After saying what was on her mind, she felt much more at ease. Even the burning feeling in her leg felt much better.
Mo Jue looked at her back and crawled over unwillingly. He tilted her face over and said, “Answer me before you sleep.”
“I am sleepy!”
“Two seconds!” Mo Jue gritted his teeth.
Ye Wei broke into laughter and said, “Mo Jue, those things are for me to know and for you to find out. Why should I make them clear?”
“What do you mean by for you to know and for me to find out? I do not even understand that at all. You have to make it clear.”
