Dong Xiaoxiao knew that Ye Hanyi was sad about her amnesia, so she didn't reply. The two of them walked silently on the tarmac covered with the leaves of the gingko trees.
When their feet stepped on the golden ginkgo leaf, the leaves rustled. It was the most natural light music, allowing them to slowly relax their mood.
Dong Xiaoxiao was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
"I had been dating Yan Chen for five years, and during that time, I discovered that he had been intimate with other girls. However, I never thought too much about it, and never expected that things would end up like this." She sighed with a smile. "I didn't expect that I, Dong Xiaoxiao, would become one of the people in the story one day."
Stories were always full of twists and turns, but he never thought that his life would be even worse.
He was not used to such a sentimental Dong Xiaoxiao. He racked his brains and said, "Don't be sad over a scum of a man. Let him know that it will only make you proud. You should live a better life."
"Is that so?" Dong Xiaoxiao asked, as if she was talking to herself.
Ye Hanyi said confidently, "Of course, if it's me, I'll immediately find another handsome guy who's more handsome than him and make him angry!"
"Pfft." His fresh and refined comments made Dong Xiaoxiao laugh.
Hearing her laugh, Ye Hanyi was no longer worried. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Dong Xiaoxiao harrumph, "That's right, shouldn't we settle the score?"
"Huh?"
"You were using my body in private just now!"
"Isn't … isn't that what I was looking for?"
Dong Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows in high spirits and said playfully, "I don't care. If you still want my help, you have to agree to a condition of mine!"
Ye Hanyi was alarmed, "What conditions? Let's first talk about them. I would not agree to something that is too excessive."
"Don't worry, I won't take your life." Dong Xiaoxiao fiddled with her hair and said with a smile, "You are not allowed to use my body without my permission in the future. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
For Ye Hanyi, this was not something that was difficult to achieve. However, now that Dong Xiaoxiao's mood had turned for the better, he did not want to ruin it and immediately agreed.
That night, Dong Xiaoxiao went back to her rented house near the school and they slept soundly for the first time since meeting each other.
The next day, Dong Xiaoxiao was in a good mood as she made breakfast, while discussing with Ye Hanyi how to investigate his past. Ye Hanyi originally thought that today would be a smooth and happy day, but he never thought that someone would not let them live peacefully.
Just as the two were about to leave, Dong Xiaoxiao's phone buzzed. She took it out and saw that it was a text from Yan Chen.
[Xiaoxiao, I have something to tell you. See me again, I'll be waiting for you at the coffee shop by the school's entrance. — — Yan Chen]
Seeing this message, Dong Xiaoxiao's smile disappeared as what happened yesterday appeared in her mind. She deleted the message without a second thought.
"You don't intend to?"
"Hmm, it's clean if you can't see."
Dong Xiaoxiao chose to escape as Ye Hanyi had predicted. After so many years of love, it would be hard to avoid feeling soft-hearted when meeting her again.
Ye Hanyi also understood that with Yan Chen's vanity and lies, he would definitely pester Dong Xiaoxiao.
Therefore, he suggested, "Let's go see him."
"Why would I want to see him? I have nothing to do with him anymore." Dong Xiaoxiao didn't want to go there.
Ye Hanyi was very insistent. "I'll go see him. Otherwise, he'll definitely harass you in the future. Do you believe me?"
Yan Chen never gave up until then. Dong Xiaoxiao considered it for a moment and then agreed to his request.
The two of them originally wanted to go out, but there was no need to pack up. After a while, they walked into the coffee shop.
Yan Chen saw her coming over and waved at her from afar.
Dong Xiaoxiao walked towards him coldly. When she sat down, her body had already been replaced with Ye Hanyi's soul.
"Xiaoxiao, I knew that you wouldn't be so heartless as to refuse me." Yan Chen's eyes were sparkling, and when paired with her pure white face, she was very pleasing to the eyes.
Of course, Ye Hanyi was not one of those people who liked him.
He picked up the coffee that Yan Chen had ordered and took a sip, then frowned and put down the cup.
"What? Not to your liking?" Yan Chen immediately asked.
Ye Hanyi's lips curled up into a cold smile, "Yan Chen, today you came looking for me to seek peace. You don't need to say too much about love, just listen to what I have to say first."
"Go ahead." Yan Chen smiled.
Ye Hanyi narrowed his eyes with playfulness in them. "We've been dating for five years, and yet you've betrayed me. Do you mind if I compensate you?"
Yan Chen hesitated for a moment before asking, "What do you want?"
"Relax, it should be a piece of cake for you. The fee for breaking up is 100,000, not a lot, right?"
"This …" Embarrassment was written all over Yan Chen's face as he shook his head, "Xiaoxiao, how can our relationship be measured by money? I'm really sad that you did this to me. "
"Stop putting on an act, aren't you the one who can't afford it?" Ye Hanyi's words were sharp. "You're just a scum who only knows how to talk. You have too many people living in poverty!"
As he said this, he stood up and picked up the coffee cup beside his hand, throwing it at Yan Chen. While he was dodging awkwardly, he warned, "Yan Chen, today is the last time I'm going to spend on you. If you continue to pester me, I'll post all of your disgraceful deeds to the school forum, and let those girls who think you're tall and handsome see what you really are!"
With that, he turned and left, not bothering to look at Yan Chen's expression.
After exiting the coffee shop, Ye Hanyi changed his domineering attitude from before and chuckled, "So, did you feel good just now?"
Dong Xiaoxiao took back her body and raised her hand. She felt much better and full of resentment.
"Not bad, looks like you have some use."
"That doesn't really matter. I'm really useful!"
The two of them laughed as they went to a nearby digital store. Because they had no clue about Ye Hanyi's identity, they prepared to start with that phone. That limited edition phone had a different battery life from most of the phones on the market.
After buying the data line at the digital store, the two returned to their residence.
Dong Xiaoxiao recharged the phone, then turned it on after a while.
Although it had not been used for a long time, this phone was worthy of being called the god's weapon that everyone had been chasing after all those years ago. It was extremely smooth, without the slightest sense of time.
Surprisingly, she didn't have any contacts in her phone. Dong Xiaoxiao frowned and opened the SMS interface. She found that there was only one message and the person who sent it was unknown.
He opened the text message and read as follows:
"Hanyi, come to the Cloud Sky Tower in the afternoon. I have something to tell you."
This was the first time the two had found traces of the existence of "Ye Hanyi". Ye Hanyi was so excited that he couldn't speak, while Dong Xiaoxiao stood up.
Ma used his own cell phone to dial the number of the text message.
After a while, the call connected. A soft female voice came from the other end.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?"
