Chapter 295: Erasing Memories

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

Her words were immediately cut off by Jiang Muye. "What are you talking about? Do you think I like you because you're perfect? Liking someone isn't about how good that person is—it's just that you happen to like them!"

Jiang Muye was a little angry. "You say you've caused trouble, but I don't see how you'd cause trouble! What I hate is that I wasn't by your side right from the start, letting you bear all of that alone! What I want most is for time to flow backward. If I'd been there six years ago, would you still be suffering like you are now?"

His firm voice made Leng Ruoli tremble slightly.

A warm current flowed through her heart, buffering all the pain.

Just as Jiang Muye was about to give Leng Ruoli a proper scolding, he never expected her to throw herself into his arms. In moments, she was holding him.

The fragrance of her body dispersed the frustration in Jiang Muye's heart.

Her closeness especially made Jiang Muye feel deeply attached.

He could only hear his own heart thumping, beating faster and faster.

Her body, still beaded with water, pressed intimately against him. Her red lips rested against his neck, so tantalizing it made him itch.

But Jiang Muye felt not a trace of desire—only heartache for her.

"If I could, I wouldn't want you to have existed six years ago," Leng Ruoli said calmly, breaking Jiang Muye's reverie.

Jiang Muye looked at her beautiful face in surprise.

She was strong as a rock, and her dark eyes made it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Let's go get psychological treatment," Jiang Muye said, holding Leng Ruoli's hand. "If you can't say it out loud, we can find another way to say it—or even to let it out."

But Leng Ruoli shook her head bitterly. "It's no use."

"How could it be no use? It could at least lessen your symptoms somewhat." Jiang Muye was about to say more when Leng Ruoli's eyes reddened to the extreme.

She cut him off. "I've already had no fewer than a hundred sessions of psychological treatment."

When she said that number, it shocked Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye's voice trembled. "A hundred?"

"Yes." Leng Ruoli drew a deep breath, her hand pressed to her chest. "This place is sick. It won't get better."

She cried softly.

But a moment later, Jiang Muye caught her red lips and kissed them.

Leng Ruoli stared at him in shock.

"Who says it won't get better? I say it can get better, so it will!" Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow, hooked her waist and lifted her a little higher, then kissed her inch by inch down. "If you don't believe me, try it."

His lips fell upon her chest.

So entangled, so tender.

She drew a deep breath, trembling.

The sound of water splashed.

Along her fair, pale skin, it flowed all the way down.

…

In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight rose, Jiang Muye had already awakened.

He hadn't slept much, and couldn't sleep anyway.

After all, last night had been a thunderstorm, and it had brought him a huge shock.

He looked at Leng Ruoli sleeping before him, a trace of fatigue still on her small face.

It made his heart ache. He gently rubbed her brown hair and turned on his side to look at her.

Her brows and eyes were so lovely they were exquisite, her eyelashes lowered with a faint shadow beneath her eyelids. Because she had cried last night, her nose was red, and her eyes were red and swollen.

She was a poor little thing.

Jiang Muye felt deeply tender toward her.

He didn't want Leng Ruoli to be plagued by memories of six years ago anymore.

Even if he could be with her every thunderstorm from now on.

There was still a scar in her heart. It wasn't healed just because it no longer bled—at some point the wound would still be torn open.

Jiang Muye spoke to the System. I want to erase a part of Leng Ruoli's memories.

The System: 【From six years ago?】

Jiang Muye nodded. Yes.

The System: 【Are you sure? Even if it causes a butterfly effect, you don't mind?】

Jiang Muye's brows knitted tightly. What butterfly effect are you talking about?

The System: 【Heavenly secrets cannot be leaked. I don't have the right to spoil things.】

Jiang Muye: No love left. Uninstall.

The System grew anxious. 【Host, I was wrong, but I really can't leak it. Otherwise the Sovereign will punish me and I really will be forcibly uninstalled.】

Jiang Muye: You Cao thief! Never mind, I'll keep you around for one more use.

Having a System was better than not having one. At least at critical moments the System could still be a big help, so naturally he still wanted to keep his cheat.

When the System saw that Jiang Muye was going to stop the uninstallation, it breathed a sigh of relief. 【Fine, I can help you erase Leng Ruoli's memories. You just need to enter the System Shop and purchase the "Memory Eraser" skill.】

Jiang Muye immediately followed the System's instructions and entered the System Shop. When he saw the "Memory Eraser" in the System Shop's list, it actually cost six hundred Grit Points!

At present, Jiang Muye's Grit Points were just down to six hundred Grit Points.

The System: 【Host, do you choose All In?】

Jiang Muye nodded without a shred of hesitation. All In to exchange.

Grit Points could be earned again. The most important thing was that he wanted Leng Ruoli to be rid of that awful memory.

The System immediately exchanged for the "Memory Eraser" for Jiang Muye, and following Jiang Muye's instructions, erased the shadowy memories from six years ago, as well as the events of last night.

The System: 【Done, Host. But I must give you a warm reminder here—this eraser has a side effect.】

Jiang Muye roared. Holy shit! You bastard, you didn't say that just now! It won't do any harm to my girlfriend, will it? If it does, I'll fight you to the death!

The System shook its head. 【Host, rest assured, absolutely not. If there were, you could always enter the backend and file Feedback to complain about me.】

Jiang Muye noted it in his heart.

So there was Feedback too. This Sovereign really did consider the Host quite a bit.

Didn't that mean he could use it to threaten the System into doing things for him in the future?

The System: 【…Host, I can hear your mental activity. Bullying a System, so shameless!】

Jiang Muye: Serve me well and why would I complain about you? Since I'm using you, a System, I'm going to use you properly. Alright, stop changing the subject and tell me what the side effect actually is!

That was what he cared about right now.

The System answered. 【The Memory Eraser function only causes temporary amnesia. But once similar things are encountered, or certain fragments stimulate her, the memories will still slowly revive.】

Jiang Muye mulled it over. So if she isn't stimulated, she won't recall them?

The System: 【Correct.】

Jiang Muye: That works too. Better than her remembering it every waking moment like now.

Forgetting that awful memory was good for both her and him.

He would do his best to protect her anyway, and wouldn't let her remember that unbearable past.

After finishing his conversation with the System, Jiang Muye found that Leng Ruoli in his arms was slowly waking up.

"How are you awake?" Jiang Muye smiled at Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli was startled, then her pupils dilated. "How are you here?"

She looked around, even more surprised. "Isn't this the girls' dorm?"
