PWE – Chapter 135

The man curved his lips into a smile.

He looked at Xiao Wange, raising an eyebrow. “So you really lost your memory. You’ve even forgotten me.”

Xiao Wange: “……” So they were acquaintances from before?

She already knew about her amnesia, but she was surprised—she had actually known someone like this before.

Her gaze turned cold, her voice icy. “Since you know I’ve lost my memory, then tell me about yourself. Who are you? Why have you come close to us… and what is your purpose?”

The man walked over toward the charcoal fire.

Xiao Wange watched his movements, her eyes narrowing. She raised her hand, ready to attack.

But the man smiled at her. “Don’t be tense. I didn’t come here to fight you. Tonight is New Year’s Eve, and on New Year’s Eve, we should try to be… harmonious.”

Xiao Wange: “……” His tone was casual, as if he really had no intention of fighting her.

Still, she remained on high alert. After all, he was highly skilled in magic, and she didn’t know who he really was. Until she understood his intentions, she had to stay cautious.

The man sat down across from her.

He held his hand over the fire to warm it, sighing. “So this is what the heat from fire feels like. So warm… it feels like it could melt my heart.”

Xiao Wange frowned.

This person… had he never even felt the warmth of fire before? Was he joking or… what?

The man held his hand over the fire for a few seconds, then suddenly looked up at Xiao Wange and smiled. “Actually, a long time ago, we sat like this together by a fire. It’s just been so long… I’ve almost forgotten the warmth of it.”

At this, Xiao Wange furrowed her brows sharply.

She and him had been close before? If they really had been close, seeing him should have stirred something in her heart. But right now… she felt nothing.

So he was lying?

Xiao Wange didn’t reply, her eyes coldly locking onto him.

“My name is Long Yan. You forgot my name, so I’ll introduce myself again. Like you, I’ve lived for a very long time… so long that I don’t even know how I was born.”

People often longed for immortality, but a life too long could be unbearable. The older one lived, the more life felt dull, everything losing its flavor.

He wanted to die, but… he couldn’t. After all, as long as “that person” couldn’t die, neither could he. As long as he was alive… he had to keep living.

Long Yan?

Xiao Wange murmured the name to herself.

She tried to search her memory for anything about him.

But unfortunately, she remembered nothing.

Instead, her head hurt as if a nerve in her brain had been torn.

She furrowed her brows and lightly rubbed her forehead, trying to ease the pain.

The man across from her watched her, a hint of mockery in his tone. “Some things are truly strange. I didn’t expect you to travel here from the future. And after traveling here, you just happened to become that guy’s wife. You and him… truly have deep fate.”

“So you know my husband?” Xiao Wange caught the key point in his words. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she spoke slowly and deliberately, “Who exactly are you, and how do you know my husband?”

Long Yan said, “I’m Long Yan, aren’t I? I just introduced myself.”

Xiao Wange: “……”

Her brow darkened, and she spoke coldly. “But you only introduced your name. Then you said you’ve lived for a long time, which tells me nothing about whether you are good or evil, nor do I know your intentions. So…”

“So you want me to tell you everything about myself? You want all my information?” Long Yan interrupted.

Seeing her about to speak, he quickly added, “You already knew all of this before—you just forgot now. But I believe you’ll remember. After all, our relationship… has been pretty deep, hasn’t it?”

Xiao Wange: “……” His words made her very uncomfortable.

He spoke as if they had been lovers before.

But she didn’t believe she could ever have been lovers with someone like him. This person was ruthless, cruel without restraint.

Although he had no ill intentions toward Zhaozhao, she knew very well about the evil deeds he had recently done.
