135 My Costar can feel me

From the floor, Si Wang looks up at Xin Hulei in naked hatred. Yao Shen drifts to Xin Hulei's side, ready to defend him if Si Wang tries anything.

"Dage, are you really going to abandon me?" His eyes keep shifting around, trying to pinpoint Yao Shen's location.

"I don't remember being your Dage," Yao Shen says. His disembodied voice startles Si Wang who didn't expect an answer. "I saw the memories but that didn't make me recall them. The life you remember happened to a different person."

His words are meant to hurt Si Wang, but Yao Shen can see a muscle jump in Xin Hulei's jaw. He doesn't want the Crown Prince's memories. The impression he got was that he lived a sad, lonely life, brightened only by a cute little brother, but who later grew obsessive and controlling, and then experienced a brief respite of freedom from his responsibilities in that little cabin with Xin Hulei -- which motivated him to seek out his own path and forge his own happiness.
