Chapter 393: When Warm and Full, Thoughts Turn to Desire

"Boss Cutie"

"Cough cough cough, I know." Jiang Muye felt a bit embarrassed from all the praise.

Even though he was fairly thick-skinned, when it came to his wife's compliments, he couldn't help feeling a little awkward.

Leng Ruoli was still smiling so sweetly.

With her around, Jiang Muye could even catch the sweet scent of candy in the air.

At that moment, Leng Ruoli placed both her hands on him.

"Hm?" Jiang Muye looked at Leng Ruoli.

He saw her slightly cool palm gently pinch his cheek. Jiang Muye's face was kneaded like a little crystal bun.

"Hm, so now you're addicted to playing with it?" Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow and took a bite of Leng Ruoli's tender palm.

Leng Ruoli laughed and dodged, then wrapped her lotus-white arms around Jiang Muye's neck and said sweetly, "I just feel like it's all too unreal. After all, losing and regaining you, I feel so happy."

Jiang Muye looked at the silly-smiling Leng Ruoli and pointed a finger at her forehead. "You fool. Before, you kept hemming and hawing, which really made me think you'd gotten together with that brat Yu Xi and put a green hat on me."

"I will never put a green hat on you. I like you so much, how could I possibly have room for anyone else?" Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye earnestly.

"If I was the one who saved you, and Yu Xi happened to look just like me, and you'd gone to him first, would you still want to be with me?" Jiang Muye stared straight at her.

His question suddenly made Leng Ruoli's heart tremble heavily.

Right, she had been neglecting this question all along!

Why couldn't it be the other way around?!

Her hand suddenly pressed against Jiang Muye's shoulder blade.

Feeling her hand slip inside his shirt, Jiang Muye panicked—after all, there were still so many people around.

Even if Leng Ruoli was thirsty and forward, she should still show some restraint in public.

Besides, when it came to acting all perverted, heh heh, that was something he should be doing.

Jiang Muye grabbed her smooth white hand and replied with a smile, "What's this? Now you're going to strip me on the street?"

But Leng Ruoli was insistent. "I want to see."

"See what? You really craving my body?" Jiang Muye was dumbfounded.

Even though he and Leng Ruoli had gotten back together, dry wood and roaring fire—one touch and it blazed.

But there was no need to burn this fiercely, was there?

Haha, but he liked it.

"Let's find a hidden place. Come on, let's go to the car." Jiang Muye leaned close to Leng Ruoli's ear and chuckled softly.

Then he took Leng Ruoli's hand and walked to the car not far away.

With the help of the alcohol, he leaned against the car seat.

Thinking about it was a bit exciting.

In the dim light, her pretty face was still so beautiful and alluring—even more so with a touch of rosemary-like sexiness.

Just as Jiang Muye instinctively kissed the cool, beautiful neck from his memory, Leng Ruoli suddenly gasped, "Wait~!"

Her soft hands pressed against Jiang Muye's shoulders.

Jiang Muye lifted his misty eyes to look at her. "What is it? Are we not doing it?"

Wasn't she the one who'd been so forward just now?

Or was this Playing Hard to Get?

Leng Ruoli's little face was flushed red as her hands unbuttoned Jiang Muye's shirt.

Jiang Muye understood and chuckled, "Heh heh, so you like to do it yourself."

Leng Ruoli's face burned hot. "No! There's something I want to confirm personally right now!"

After hearing Leng Ruoli's tone, Jiang Muye was puzzled. "What do you want to confirm?"

He was a bit confused, not quite understanding what Leng Ruoli meant.

Leng Ruoli's breathing grew slightly heavy as her hands clumsily pulled the shirt off Jiang Muye's shoulder.

Her eyes fixed firmly on Jiang Muye's right shoulder.

"Here... was there a mark here before?" Her hand gently rubbed, as if trying to find an uneven spot or a scar.

But there was nothing.

However, the first time Leng Ruoli truly met Jiang Muye, it had been raining that day. She had seen the rain soak through his shirt and could clearly see a very obvious scar on his shoulder.

But after they'd slept together later, Leng Ruoli discovered it was gone.

Back then, based on the information her subordinates had given her and the scar on Jiang Muye's shoulder from their first meeting, she had deduced that Jiang Muye was the one who had saved her six years ago.

"You..." Jiang Muye's throat tightened. "How do you know?"

"So it really was there!" Leng Ruoli's eyes went wide with astonishment.

Jiang Muye nodded. "Yes, it was there. I thought it looked ugly at the time, so I had it removed at the hospital."

"So I wasn't mistaken back then—there really was a scar! When did it appear?!" Leng Ruoli suddenly grabbed Jiang Muye's wrist and pressed him.

This was too much of a coincidence.

Yu Xi had a scar on his shoulder.

Jiang Muye had a scar on his shoulder too!

This seemed to confirm Leng Ruoli's bold guess. If Yu Xi could say he saved her, then why couldn't it be Jiang Muye who had saved her?!

"The scar seems to have appeared about six years ago. I'm not too clear on exactly how it happened. From what my parents told me, I was pulled out of the water, and my shoulder injury was especially severe. My head had been badly struck too—I even had a craniotomy." Jiang Muye murmured, "I lost my memory of that day because of it."

Leng Ruoli cried out in shock, "Your head was struck, and you lost your memory because of it?"

"Right."

As Jiang Muye nodded, he found Leng Ruoli throwing herself into his arms.

Her face rested against his shoulder, and he felt Leng Ruoli's tears soaking through his shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Muye's heart clenched along with it.

He felt tremendous heartache for Leng Ruoli.

"I was deceived. How awful. I will never forgive it!" Leng Ruoli raised her tear-filled face, her fingers curled into fists, clearly full of fury.

Jiang Muye was still muddled. "Who deceived you? Yu Xi?"

"Do you know what Yu Xi told me?" Leng Ruoli lifted her head to look at Jiang Muye. "He lured me to the bottom of the teaching building and told me that he was the one who saved me back then. But that's not true—the one who really saved me was you."

In the cramped space, Jiang Muye took a deep breath.

His heart was pounding thump thump thump, and astonishment was written all over his face.

"Am I hearing this right? I was the one who saved you?" Jiang Muye pointed a finger at himself.

Leng Ruoli nodded and said to Jiang Muye with utter seriousness, "That's right. From the very beginning, I wasn't wrong about the direction."

Her eyes turned red like a rabbit's as she choked out, "The person I owed back then, the person I should be most grateful to... is you."

After hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Jiang Muye's head suddenly throbbed with pain.

It was as if something had been stimulated, and fragmented pieces had begun flooding into his mind.

"Ah—" Jiang Muye clutched his head in pain.

Leng Ruoli grew anxious and deeply concerned. "Are you okay?!"

Jiang Muye half-opened his eyes, grimacing in pain. "Wait, I... I think my memory is recovering a bit."

There were some very chaotic fragments intersecting in his mind.

He wanted to try hard to remember, but it was extremely difficult.

At that moment, he thought of the System: System, can you help me recover my memory?
