Hazy? Memories? Who are you?

It was at this moment Haoyu felt like his mouth was tightly sealed. His body couldn’t even move an inch.

He was too stunned to even utter a single word.

He gazed at her but couldn’t even say a single word.

Her otherworldly aura, her beautiful sweet smile making him feel like he was standing in front of a goddess. It resembled the feeling from the three fairies but at the same time, it was unique.

Both of them stood still in silence facing each other.

“Mmm~ Haoyu? What’s wrong? You have been standing like a statue for minutes,” Yao Yin said.

“E-ehh?”

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” She asked.

“A-ahemm… it’s nothing, I just… felt a sudden chill run through my body,” he lied with a straight face.

“Chills? We should go back inside then, I don’t want my fiancé to catch a cold just a day after he awoke haha.” Yao Yin said with a laugh.

The two of them then walked back to where everybody was.

“Haoyu? Why with all the sudden red face? You were just fine moments ago,” Shu Ningxi asked.

“Huh, why should I tell you?”

“You brat, don’t challenge me,” Shu Ningxi became annoyed.

One could feel that the atmosphere at that moment became really intense as Ningxi was really annoyed with Haoyu. However, for Haoyu’s side, he didn’t realize that he had teased her too much.

Yao Yin, who was there from the very first moment, decided to break such an atmosphere.

“A-aaa, Sister Ning… How about you take a deep breath first, don’t mind him.” She said with a fake smile because she was a little bit nervous on the inside.

“Hmph! Consider yourself lucky because she’s here… otherwise, I would have taught you a lesson myself.”

“Hu–”

Just a moment before Haoyu spoke, her sister cut him off, which made him unable to speak.

“Your name is Yao Yin, right? Let’s go for a walk! I’ve been wanting to meet my sister-in-law since the day you got engaged.” She said with stars glimmering in her eyes.

“E-ehh? A-ahh yes! B-but–”

Ningxi dragged her before she got to finish her words.

Seeing this, Haoyu couldn’t do anything but only sighed.

“Haa~, that girl… She really resembles her.”

He suddenly lost in thought. Inside his mind, a slender figure appeared.

His memory was full of someone that he used to know, someone that was very close to him.

“Haaa~, all of this was just a coincidence… right?” He mumbled.

He then decided to put aside all those thoughts and enjoy the banquet.

After the banquet, Haoyu talked to his father for a bit and later he went back to his room.

“Haaa~, a bed! Finally, I could rest!”

He felt relieved that he finally got free time to rest. He was too tired because of the banquet.

Just a moment before he closed his eyes, Haoyu could hear someone knocking on the door.

knock knock

“What? I can’t even have a peaceful sleep?”

He felt annoyed, an irritated expression could be seen on his face.

“IT’S ALMOST MIDNIGHT, JUST LET ME HAVE A PEACEFUL SLEEP GODDAMMIT!” He cursed inwardly.

However, he didn’t want to show such expression. He later smiled and called out, “Come in! I’m on the bed!”

The door opened and the one he saw was none other than his fiancée, Yao Yin.

Haoyu was surprised to see her visiting his room and even more at this kind of time.

Haoyu stared at her thoughtfully. “She should have returned to her room after the banquet ended, so why did she come here? And wait… her surname is Yao, doesn’t that mean she came from the Yao Family? What was she doing here in the first place? Shouldn’t she be at the Yao Family right now?”

“Yao Yin! How come you visit me at this time? Do you need anything from me?” He let out a smile and asked.

“Ehhh? Can’t I visit my own fiancé?” Yao Yin instantly replied with a sarcastic tone.

Haoyu was confused.

“Do I need your permission to visit you? Do I only need to visit you whenever I need something? Can’t I visit my own fiancé without any reason? Hmph!” She pouted her lips in a cute way.

Haoyu was stunned seeing her acting like this. Although he didn’t really care that she visited him at this kind of hour, he didn’t expect such a reaction either.

Haoyu was too stunned that his speech became stuttered.

“E-ehh? O-of course y-you can.”

Seeing Haoyu’s reaction, Yao Yin can’t help but laugh.

“Pfftt, honestly it was really fun messing with you… I was just joking, you know?” She laughed.

Haoyu irritatedly smiled and laughed awkwardly.

Haoyu then promptly asked her to sit. “Don’t just stand there, come here and have a seat.”

Yao Yin didn’t say anything and sat on his bed beside him. After remaining silent for a while, she asked him while looking directly into his eyes, “You must be wondering what I’m doing here right now, right?”

She took a silky green fabric and handed it to Haoyu.

“Did you remember this? You gave it to me a few years ago.”

“E-ehh, no matter how I search for the memory inside my mind, I can’t remember such a thing at all. This should be important, right? But why can’t I find it? The memories, did someone seal it? But who would have such power? The sealing technique isn’t for lower world cultivators.” He thought.

He stood silent for a few seconds before answering, “I’m sorry, I just woke up and my memories are somewhat hazy.”

She showed a little bit of a sad expression on her face.

She then took a uniquely shaped red-colored fruit.

“This is a soul replenish fruit. It should be able to help you replenish your exhausted soul.” Yao Yin explained.

“Thanks Yao Yin.” Haoyu nodded while his heart felt a sense of warmth. He didn’t think that in this new life, he would have many people who cared about him, unlike his previous life where he was an orphan.

He genuinely felt happy. He looked at Yao Yin with affection in his eyes, which resulted in Yao Yin being flustered.

To avoid Haoyu seeing her in this state, she quickly said, “You must have a lot in your mind that you want to ask, right? Why don’t you let it all out? I’ll try to answer all of it.”

“Mmm? You cheeky girl, how about letting me see you blushing more? Don’t be such a joykiller~” Haoyu said while pinching Yao Yin’s cheeks.

“A-ahh, that hurts, you idiot!” She pinched back Haoyu’s hand.

“Ouch, alright-alright, I’ll stop, so stop pinching my hand.”

“Hmph!” Yao Yin pouted while slowly releasing her hand away.

“Alright, I’ll be honest with you. Due to my memories being a bit hazy, I can’t remember everything. So the first thing I’m curious about is you. Are you from the Yao Family?” Haoyu asked politely.
