When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, Xiao Yu, who was staying in the guest room, woke up.
A little girl came in with a basket full of red plums. Dongfang Mingyue looked at Xiao Yu and asked the little girl to go out. Dongfang Mingyue was trimming the newly plucked red plum blossoms. She had neatly trimmed them and placed them into a glass bottle. The red plum blossoms were very bright and resplendent, like the face of a beauty, cold and beautiful.
When Dongfang Mingyue looked over again, Xiao Yu looked at her with his clear black and white eyes. Dongfang Mingyue said in surprise,"Brother Xiao, you're finally awake."
Hearing Dongfang Mingyue's voice, Xiao Jiu rushed over with a bowl of hot porridge." Young Master, you're awake."”
"My head hurts a little. What's wrong with me?”Xiao Yu asked.
"Young Master, have you forgotten? You fainted yesterday and slept until now."”
Xiao Yu kept talking to Xiao Jiu and ignored Dongfang Mingyue. Dongfang Mingyue said with dissatisfaction,"Brother Xiao, I'm talking to you.”
Xiao Yu looked at Dongfang Mingyue in confusion and said,"Miss Dongfang, how long have you been here?”
What? Dongfang Mingyue's eyes widened. He actually called her Miss Dongfang, and he didn't feel too familiar with her. His eyes were filled with unfamiliarity.
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Dongfang Mingyue asked anxiously. I'm Mingyue."
"Miss Dongfang, my young master has just woken up. He might have suffered from temporary amnesia.”Xiao Jiu said.
Dongfang Mingyue jumped up and said,""Could it be the aftereffects of being poisoned one day?”
Xiao Jiu nodded and said," It's very possible. My young master is good at dealing with strange poisons in the world, but he was still poisoned by someone. It can be seen how powerful that poison is."”
"What should we do?" Miss Dongfang paced back and forth in the room and suddenly said," Yes, I'll go find Grandma.”
Dongfang Mingyue ran out quickly. Xiao Jiu looked at Xiao Yu and said,"Young Master, how do you feel now?”
"I just feel a headache, nothing else." Xiao Yu rubbed his glabella. Right, where was this place? What are we doing here?"
Xiao Jiu was shocked. So Meng Xiuming's poison wouldn't take Xiao Yu's life, but it made Xiao Yu forget a portion of things. That portion of memories was probably Meng Xiuming.
"Young Master, this is Dongfang Manor. Assistant Minister Dongfang invited you to treat Young Master Dongfang. Do you really not remember?"”
Xiao Yu shook his head and said,"I can't remember, I can't remember. Forget it, I don't want to think about it. In that case, let's go and treat Young Master Dongfang."”
Before going out, Xiao Yu glanced at the red plum blossoms in the room and said,"It's very beautiful, but it's too cold."”
Xiao Jiu followed behind him. It didn't understand and didn't reply.
He had only taken a few steps out when he bumped into Old Madam Dongfang, who had been pulled over by Dongfang Mingyue. Seeing the two of them outside the door, Dongfang Mingyue asked,""Brother Xiao, where are you going?”
Xiao Yu replied,"I'm going to see Young Master Dongfang."”
Dongfang Mingyue immediately clung onto Xiao Yu's arm and said,"I went to see my brother. How are you?”
Embarrassed, Xiao Yu pushed Dongfang Mingyue away and said,"I'm fine now."
Old Madam Dongfang scolded in dissatisfaction,""Ming Yue, how can you be so unruly? Since young master Xiao is fine, then this old one will go back.”
Old Madam Dongfang was always in a hurry.
"Where is Young Master Meng?" Dongfang Mingyue looked around but did not see Meng Xiuming.
"Young Master Meng."
"Young Master Meng? Which Young Master Meng?" Xiao Jiu hadn't finished speaking when Xiao Yu asked.
"It can't be." Dongfang Mingyue was so shocked that her face turned pale." You don't even remember Young Master Meng? He's here to protect you."”
Young Master Meng, that red figure disappeared in Xiao Yu's mind in a flash.
"It's Young Master Meng Xiuming, the red-clothed shadow killer Meng Xiuming of the Seven Stars Hall.”Xiao Jiu explained," But I wonder where Young Master Meng is now?”
"Since he didn't appear, it means that we're not fated. It's a pity that I can't see what this famous red-clothed shadow killer looks like.”Xiao Yu shrugged indifferently.
"No way, Brother Xiao. You've clearly seen him before.”Dongfang Mingyue looked at Xiao Yu in surprise. Xiao Yu was so strange today. Did he really lose his memory?
At this moment, a gust of wind blew over, accompanied by a faint and inexplicable fragrance. A young man stepped on the cold morning sun and gracefully walked over. His face was handsome and he could not bear to look at him.
"Young Master Meng, you're here." Xiao Jiu saw Meng Xiuming appear again.
"So you're the famous Red Clothed Shadow Killer Meng Xiu Ming. I'm Xiao Yu. Greetings, to actually meet you here again, what a coincidence.”Xiao Yu used the most respectful words to say,
"What a coincidence, Young Master Mingyue.”Meng Xiuming said.
They were acquaintances, but they became strangers in each other's eyes. At this moment, it was as if ten years had passed, and he had aged a lot in an instant.
After being poisoned consecutively, Xiao Yu's originally handsome face was suffused with a hint of sickness.
Hearing Xiao Yu say this, what did Meng Xiuming's heart have? Was it disappointment or relief?
"Let's go." Xiao Yu said. The three of them went around Meng Xiuming and walked towards the Oriental Pearl Tower. Meng Xiuming didn't follow them because he didn't remember him anymore, and there was no need for him to follow him.
"Young Master Meng, you should go back and rest first.”Xiao Jiu said,"I'll look for you later."”
Meng Xiuming stood at his original spot and didn't say anything. The three of them chatted and laughed as they left.
Across the cold but unfrozen lake, Meng Xiu Ming saw Xiao Yu and Dongfang Mingyue enter the Oriental Pearl Tower's room together and then come out together, as if they were very happy. Wasn't this the result he wanted to see? Why did he have a feeling of breaking a bottle in his heart now? It was an indescribable feeling.
The lake in front of him was as calm as a mirror. Occasionally, one or two red carps would jump out of the water, breaking the calm scene. Layers of ripples would appear, adding a little vitality to it. Then, it would return to calm as if nothing had happened.
Meng Xiu Ming was sitting under a tree. The warm sunlight shone on his red clothes, shining brightly. Xiao Jiu walked over and saw that he was no longer as indifferent as before. Instead, he was faintly sad.
"That poison will only produce two results.”Meng Xiuming heard the footsteps behind him, but he didn't turn around. With his back facing Xiao Jiu, he said," Either die or forget."”
"You couldn't forget him, so you chose to let him forget you.”Xiao Jiu said.
"No, I originally wanted him to die.”Meng Xiuming said firmly," Unfortunately, he has you by his side. You are the one who makes it impossible for him to die.”
"Young Master Meng, is this the result you want?”Xiao Jiu asked.
Meng Xiuming looked straight into the distance and bluntly said,"I don't know."
"What is this poison called?"
"Seven Steps to Death, also known as Yearning to Grave, is a new poison developed by the Seven Stars Hall Purple Sect. The magical thing about this poison is that every time you take an antidote, your memories of the past will disappear a little. The antidote I gave you was enough to make him forget the memories of us together. It's not difficult to understand. When he saw me, he was like a stranger.”Meng Xiuming explained indifferently.
"You have to know that Young Master is the number one antidote expert in the world. If he finds out the truth one day, he will be very heartbroken.”Xiao Jiu said,"He has already endured for ten years. Now, he is faced with such a choice. Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu really doesn't know…"
"You will help Xiao Yu, right? You will help me, right?”Meng Xiu Ming interrupted Xiao Jiu and said," I know you definitely don't want Xiao Yu to suffer that kind of pain again, right?”Although it was a question, Meng Xiuming's tone was unquestionable and firm. The only answer he had to get was 'yes'.
Xiao Jiu endured it for a long time before saying,"I know that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do, but it's the same for Young Master.”
"No choice, no choice. This is fate. When I chose to become a Seven Star Shadow Killer, it was destined that no one could get close to me.”Meng Xiuming leaned back on the chair and laid down, looking very relaxed.
"Young Master Meng, you've lost too much, too much. You can't make up for it, but so has Young Master.”Xiao Jiu said, but it didn't say the next sentence.
Meng Xiuming didn't say anything else, because Xiao Yu and Dongfang Mingyue were already walking over.
"Little Jiu, what are you guys talking about? Young Master Meng, I haven't had a good chat with you just now.”Xiao Yu sat down on a chair beside him, and Dongfang Mingyue poured tea cups for the two of them.
"Mingyue, it's been a long time since I've eaten the lotus seed soup you made.”Xiao Yu said innocently, his expression extremely aggrieved.
Dongfang Mingyue immediately smiled like a flower and said,""Brother Xiao, wait for me. I'll do it right away.”
Dongfang Mingyue left with a smile like a deer.
"About what?" Meng Xiuming said calmly.
Xiao Yu came up and said,"Have we met before?"”
"Didn't we just see each other?"
Xiao Yu's eyes blinked and said helplessly,"That's not what I meant. I mean, have we met somewhere before?”
That pair of eyes, that pair of clear as autumn water, that were untainted by worldly dust, was looking at him expectantly.
"No, I haven't." Meng Xiuming answered straightforwardly," We just met today. I was ordered to protect you. I've never seen you before."”
But Xiao Yu still asked unwillingly: "Even if we just met, why do I feel like I've known you for a long time? I feel very familiar with you.”
"Is that so?" Meng Xiuming gently turned his face away." Young Master must be thinking too much."”
He had only lost his memory, he was not stupid. He had to understand some things.
"Rumor has it that your sword is very fast and can pierce through the enemy's heart in a moment. Is that true?”Xiao Yu asked curiously. He kept getting closer to Meng Xiuming, getting closer and closer to his flamboyant red clothes.
With a 'dong' sound, Meng Xiuming made his move, heavily hitting Xiao Yu's face. Meng Xiuming gradually approached Xiao Yu, and their gazes became closer and closer. Meng Xiuming said in a low voice,"Rumors in the martial world? Then, does Young Master Mingyue want to verify it personally?”
He instantly rested.
The past that people tried their best to forget but kept being brought up again seemed to be overwhelming again.
