Chapter 1770 Muscle Memory
Back in her room, Ruan Yu was always restless.
She was certain that she didn't recognize the man from just now, whether it was Ye Zun or Jun Ran.
He also mentioned the realm of the gods...
Oh right, she seemed to have seen him once when she went to the Divine Realm last time.
But that was all there was to it.
Nothing else.
But why did her heart ache when she saw the disappointment and surprise in Jun Ran's eyes?
Ruan Yu had many questions.
"From the other side, I have something to ask you."
“Master.” The other side appeared silently, standing beside Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu remained silent, and so did he.
Ruan Yu had already noticed something was amiss; the other side was not like this on ordinary days.
"Do you know Junran?" she asked skeptically.
The Other Shore: "Why would Master ask that?"
He was absolutely certain that Ruan Yu had completely forgotten Jun Ran.
On the other side, suppressing the excitement in her heart, she remained calm as still water.
"Just answer me, whether you know or not." Ruan Yu's brow twitched, and she couldn't help but press it with her hand.
"Does Master want me to know, or not?"
"You did it, didn't you? You made me forget this person." Ruan Yu stood up, her eyes slightly raised, meeting Bi An's gaze.
Trying to find something unusual in his eyes.
But Bi'an was too calm. No matter what Ruan Yu asked, he did not answer directly, neither admitting nor denying: "I dare not."
"Perhaps the master really doesn't recognize him."
"Then why does my heart ache when I see him sad?" Ruan Yu kept seeing images of Jun Ran looking lost and dejected in her mind, and her heart ached with each pang.
"Other Shore, you were the first one I summoned, and you've been with me for so long. If something happens to my body, you're the one who knows it best."
"Other Shore, tell me, wasn't it you who told me to forget him?"
Ruan Yu did not want to doubt the other side.
But his two souls did not disappear.
"..." The other side remained silent. He didn't want to lie to her, nor did he want to admit it.
Ruan Yu roughly understood.
She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and forced a bitter smile.
Her most trusted friends, partners, and family members altered her memories without her noticing.
What an irony!
The atmosphere froze.
"I can give you what you want too." After a long silence, the other side spoke in a hoarse voice.
Whenever Ruan Yu looked up at this moment, she could see the expectation and pleading in his eyes.
There is also a crazy, suppressed love.
"I don't want to just be your summoned beast." Bi'an squatted down and took Ruan Yu's hand.
The next second, Ruan Yu pushed him away: "Do you know what you're doing?"
"All I know is that everything I've done is for you!" Bi'an gripped Ruan Yu's hand tightly once more, refusing to let go no matter how Ruan Yu struggled: "You won't have a good ending with him!"
"He ruined you in your past life! If he wants to harm you again in this life, he'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Bi'an was even more agitated than Ruan Yu, her eyes red and bloodshot: "Master, I really love you, why can't you turn around and look at me?"
He took Ruan Yu's hand and placed it on his face.
Ruan Yu resisted, but she couldn't break free.
"I don't like you like this, Bi'an."
"Then who do you like? Do you like Jun Ran? He doesn't deserve your love at all. All your pain and grievances stem from him! Without him, you'd still be that high and mighty person..."
"What do you mean by 'high and mighty'?" Ruan Yu wasn't stupid. The recognition of the Five Elemental Pearls as their master had already made her aware of her identity in her past life.
"The Lord God?"
Bi'an's eyes flickered: "Yes."
"Are you kidding me? Someone like me could be a god?" Even after learning the answer, Ruan Yu still couldn't believe it.
She forcefully shook off Bi'an's hand. "Bi'an, I hope this is the last time. I don't want us to become so estranged that we can't even be friends anymore."
The figure on the other side froze.
He knew that his master would be angry with him after the truth was revealed. But when it actually happened, he still felt very upset.
But he has no regrets.
Only by making her forget Jun Ran can the tragedy be prevented.
Ruan Yu summoned Bi An back; she didn't want to see him again anytime soon.
Stepping out of the room, Ruan Yu flashed to the fourth floor. The door to that room was still open, but the light inside was much dimmer.
Ruan Yu walked over and saw Jun Ran sitting on the ground looking dejected. When she looked up, her eyes met Jun Ran's.
"Ayu." Jun Ran pounced on Ruan Yu almost instantly.
He wanted to hug her.
But she took a step back.
“I don’t remember you,” Ruan Yu said truthfully.
Jun Ran guessed as much as he had, and gave a wry smile: "Yeah."
"Can you tell me everything that happened between us before?"
Jun Ran knew Ruan Yu too well; he knew that her saying this was already a big step towards him.
So, let him walk towards her from here on out.
No sleep for one night.
After listening to Jun Ran's account, Ruan Yu's mind remained blank. She couldn't remember anything about their relationship, nor could she recall ever having a lover.
"Do you remember anything?" Jun Ran looked at her expectantly.
"I'm sorry..." Ruan Yu looked troubled.
She didn't just not remember; she was getting sleepy listening to it.
"It's okay, you'll remember." Jun Ran didn't know if he was comforting Ruan Yu or himself.
He paid a huge price to descend to the lower realm in a clone, only to find that the person he longed for had forgotten him.
It's impossible not to be sad, but Ayu must be even sadder than him, right? How hard and lonely she must have been waiting for him all these years.
"Ayu, may I enter your sea of consciousness?" Jun Ran asked.
If a memory is deliberately erased or altered, it will inevitably leave traces. Perhaps once the person takes a look, they will find a solution.
Ruan Yu shook her head: "Not yet."
She doesn't fully trust him yet, so how could she let him enter her mind?
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Jun Ran subconsciously reached out, wanting to pat Ruan Yu's head.
But when he reached his hand into the air, he put it down again.
They can no longer be as close as they used to be.
Ruan Yu clearly saw the self-blame and torment in his eyes. She pursed her lips and took his hand. "Did we often do this before?"
"Hmm!" Jun Ran was slightly taken aback, then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Their fingers were intertwined. Strangely enough, Ruan Yu was very resistant to men's touch. Even when Bi An forcibly grabbed her hand, she would feel angry and resistant.
After holding hands with Jun Ran for so long, she actually felt a sense of peace.
Is this muscle memory?
Even if you forget everything about him, your body has already gotten used to his presence.
