"That's great." After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Caiyi sighed in satisfaction. However, the bowl of thick and black tonic that was delivered later made her frown. Just by smelling it, she could tell what was inside. In the past five years, she had spent two-thirds of her time learning how to identify and use medicinal herbs.
She subconsciously picked up the bowl of medicine and poured it out of the window. Mo Hongfei did not stop her. Perhaps her brain had forgotten, but her reaction clearly retained her true nature.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Mo Hongfei's amused smile. "You used to like to pour out the tonic to nourish the fish in the water.”
"Is that so?" She smiled awkwardly." I don't have any impression of it.”
In an instant, two sentences flashed through her mind, but the image was blurry.
"What's wrong?" Mo Hongfei noticed the surprise in her eyes.
"I seem to remember something." She tried her best to find a familiar image.
Mo Hongfei suddenly smiled." For those poor carps, I've decided to punish you."”His face gradually moved closer to hers. Every word he spat out was clearly sprayed on her face, causing her to blush and her heart to beat rapidly.
"That's right, that's the one…" Her tongue was a little knotted as she said,"That's right…" Her words disappeared in his kiss.
He missed her taste. As they tasted her, their tongues intertwined. After a long time, the two separated. He turned to kiss her earlobe and nibbled on it gently, making Xu Caiyi's entire body feel soft and itchy. She lost all her strength and could only cling tightly to his stalwart body.
"Do you remember?"
She could not answer this question. The feeling of being provoked was both familiar and strange.
"I'll take you to a place. Maybe you'll remember something.”He picked her up and ran under the moonlight.
Xu Caiyi was not in the mood to appreciate the bright moonlight. She was busy sorting out her thoughts.
Mo Hongfei brought her to the place where they first met. The scene of her playing in the pool and getting injured appeared in Mo Hongfei's mind.
He recounted what had happened here in detail, but Xu Caiyi only stared at him with her big eyes. After hearing what he said, she thought of the faint scar on her shoulder. It turned out to be a souvenir from being shot by a dart.
She took off her shoes and socks and walked into the pool. Mo Hongfei stood quietly at the side and watched her fumble and search for her memories.
Suddenly, she felt an itch on her calf and hurriedly jumped out of the pool.
"Ah! The big perverted turtle." She blurted out when she saw the turtle biting her pants.
"You remembered something." He believed that she would slowly regain her memory.
It seemed that the effects of the Carefree Grass had not been fully exerted. There were still some remnant memories in her subconscious.
Xu Caiyi was stunned for a long time before she reacted.
"The moon was so bright that day, and this turtle that killed the scenery also appeared like this.”She had been stimulated enough today. "Let's go back! Don't catch a cold again."
Even when they returned to the water tower and lay flat on the bed, she still couldn't figure out what the turtle had to do with her. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Suddenly, Mo Hongfei slipped onto the bed and squeezed Xu Caiyi into it.
"What are you doing? Go down!" She pushed him away and her hands touched his bare chest. She was so scared that she quickly retracted her hands.
"If you move again, I can't guarantee what I will do.”He moved his body to find the most comfortable position for himself.
Xu Caiyi stopped what she was doing. Of course, she understood what he meant.
"That's great!" He said sincerely," Sleep well!”He moved closer to her and put his hand around her waist to stabilize her position.
Xu Caiyi was so nervous that she did not dare to close her eyes. Her entire body was stiff. What good sleep? This overbearing fellow, how can I sleep like this? She muttered in her heart.
After a while, Mo Hongfei fell asleep. His hands and feet were naturally 'hanging' on Xu Caiyi's body. As long as she pushed his hands and feet away, she would return to her original state. If he continued to cling to her like this all night, she definitely wouldn't have to sleep. Finally, she gave in and slowly fell asleep.
After confirming that Xu Caiyi was already sound asleep, Mo Hongfei opened his eyes. Seeing her curled up like a kitten beside him, he couldn't help but smile silently and close his eyes in satisfaction.
The memories of the body would not lie. Xu Caiyi eventually succumbed to Mo Hongfei's insistence. Even if she could use any knockout powder she had learned to knock him out and make him unable to move, she had never considered doing so.
Although she had gone through a lot of trouble before she went to bed, Xu Caiyi had a dreamless night and slept until dawn.
The sunlight shone through the window into the room. Xu Caiyi slowly opened her eyes. She had just woken up and was still a little muddle-headed. She didn't know what was going on until she realized that her legs were wrapped around Mo Hongfei's body and her entire body was pressed against him. She was shocked awake. Her face was red and she hurriedly wanted to leave his body. However, the sudden sound of the door opening made her not dare to act rashly.
If anyone found out that she was sleeping in this position, her reputation and face would be completely ruined.
She shrank into the blanket, burying her entire face in it.
Mo Hongfei's hands started to become restless. He threw himself into Xu Caiyi's arms. How could he not take advantage of such an opportunity?
There was someone else in the room. How could he be so impudent and bold!
If she allowed him to continue, she would definitely not be able to resist him.
Shui Ling carried the bowl of water into the room, not too surprised by the fact that the two of them were sleeping on the same bed. She only glanced at the bed and quietly left. Anyway, this situation was expected. Moreover, Young Master had not seen Miss for five years. Last night, the two of them must have…
After Shui Ling's footsteps were far away, she immediately slapped his unruly hand away, broke free from his embrace, and slipped out of the blanket. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little empty. Sleeping together was an accident, so how could she be nostalgic for his embrace?
He looked at her messy clothes calmly. He was satisfied with this scene.
Xu Caiyi hurriedly adjusted her clothes. "You pervert! Why aren't you going out? I'm going to change my clothes.”She pushed him off the bed.
"Do you want me to help you?" He casually put on some clothes and looked at her with a faint smile.
"Get out!" Xu Caiyi shouted angrily. His stalwart body made her feel oppressed. If she let him stay in the room, she did not know what he would do.
"How could I dare to disobey my wife's orders?”After tidying himself up, he left the water tower in a good mood. This was the happiest morning he had in five years. He even had the urge to sing.
With a happy mood, Mo Hongfei prepared to pay his respects to his parents. Of course, the main reason was to find his adorable son. He knew very well that Xu Huaien would be the key to making Xu Caiyi stay in the Mo Residence willingly.
She quickly tidied herself up. At this moment, Xu Caiyi had become a handsome young master again. Time had not left any traces on her face.
"Miss!" Shui Ling led Song Ping into the room,"He's Song Ping."”She introduced them to Xu Caiyi.
Songping had been looking at Xu Caiyi without saying a word since he came in. He handed her a bunch of herbs.
"How did you get such a precious Nepenthe Grass?”
Xu Caiyi looked at the Carefree Grass in her hand in surprise. Although she had only read about it in books and had never seen a real Carefree Grass, she still recognized it at a glance.
Her master had collected almost all the herbs in the book, and the Nepenthe Grass was one of the few herbs that her master did not have. That was why she had a deep impression of it.
"You know the origin of this herb?" Matsuhira was very excited. He could finally make up for his mistake five years ago.
"This Carefree Grass has a strong fragrance. After smelling it, one will forget their memories.”She explained the effects of the Carefree Grass in one sentence, but she was puzzled as to why it would make this person called Song Ping so excited.
"Miss, this is the only clue we found in the pool the day you disappeared.”Shui Ling's voice was filled with excitement," It must be the one that caused you to lose your memories and forget us.”They finally found the reason why Miss had lost her memory.
"Impossible, this Carefree Grass is very precious. Even my master doesn't have this herb, let alone an ordinary person. The special thing about this herb was that it had to be placed in warm water for people to soak with it in order for it to be effective. Otherwise, it was completely useless. At most, it could only be used as a sachet.”
"If that's the case, then there's nothing wrong. You disappeared in the hot spring pool behind the house. The water was warm.”Song Ping answered Xu Caiyi's question.
Xu Caiyi was stunned. She did not have any chance to refute them. This was completely different from what she knew. Could it be that everything her master said was false?
If that was the case, why did Master lie to her? There was no reason at all!
Countless thoughts flooded her mind.
No, Master would not lie to her! Her kind master had no reason to lie to her. There must be some misunderstanding. She refuted her own thoughts in her heart.
For the first time in these five gloomy years, Matsuhira felt a glimmer of hope in front of his eyes.
"Miss Xu, I will definitely find out the truth. You don't have to worry.”Matsuhira mistook her uneasiness for worry, completely unaware that she was conflicted and didn't know who to believe.
No, she had to ask her uncle-master. He must know something, or he wouldn't have brought her here.
"Shui Ling, bring me to my Martial Uncle.”
"Yes."
It had only been one night, but Old Master Mo and Mrs. Mo's room was already filled with children's toys. Xu Huaien was almost drowned by the pile of toys. They gave him a different kind of love than his mother and mother-in-law. It was complete love.
Seeing Mo Hongfei's arrival, Xu Huaien pulled him excitedly and chattered non-stop.
"Were you good last night? Did you cause trouble or cause trouble for Grandpa and Grandma?”
"I'm a good child. I won't cause trouble.”Although he was young, he would not allow anyone to slander his character.
"Xiao En is very obedient. I won't let you make the same mistake again. If you didn't marry your wife earlier, how could our grandson be Xiaoen? Also, when are you going to let Xiaoen acknowledge her ancestors?”Madam Mo started to criticize her son.
"Your mother is right. Marry her as soon as possible. Otherwise, your name will not be legitimate.”Old Master Mo agreed with Madam's words. This matter could not be delayed.
"I have to marry her, but she has lost her memory now. I'm willing to marry her, but she might not be willing to. As for the matter of Xiaoen returning to the clan, he couldn't rush it. If he acted rashly, Caiyi might get anxious and leave with her son.”
"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Mo asked anxiously. Xiao En was the grandson that she had waited so long for. She couldn't just watch him leave.
"Xiao En, do you want Father and Mother to be together?”Mo Hongfei looked at Wynne.
"I hope so!" Having a father was his greatest wish after he became sensible.
"Then go tell Mom that you like this place and want to stay here. Help Dad keep Mom here, okay?”
"It's good, but I don't know if mother will agree to it.”
"As long as you make Mother agree to stay for a few more days, leave the rest to Father.”
Xu Huaien nodded.
Just as he finished speaking, Shui Ling and Song Ping walked in.
"Hello, Master, Madam."
"Young Master, Young Miss instructed me to bring Little Young Master over.”Shui Ling said to Mo Hongfei.
"Xiao En, don't forget our agreement.”Mo Hongfei squatted down and reminded his son. Then, he got up and said to Shui Ling,"Take him!"”
Hearing this, Shui Ling took Xu Huaien's hand and left.
"Father, Mother, I'm going to settle some matters.”
Mo Hongfei and Song Ping left the room together.
"Young Master, I have something to report to you.”
"Speak!"
"Miss Xu lost her memory because she was poisoned by the Carefree Grass. I suspect that this was poisoned by Miss's master, Merciless Tyrant.”
"We didn't offend Poison Hands, and she treats Caiyi and Huai 'en very well. Also, send someone to find out if there is an antidote for the Nepenthe Grass. Don't let go of any clues.”No matter what the price was, he wanted her to regain her memories and become his wife.
The only thing he could do now was to stimulate Caiyi as much as he could to see if he could make her remember the past.
He thought of his master. The master and disciple were supposed to have a good drink last night, but after seeing the person he missed day and night, he completely forgot about it. He should bring a pot of wine to his master to apologize.
Mo Hongfei then went to Yan Geling's room.
"Master, this disciple has come to pay his respects to you.”
"I finally thought of Master!" Yan Geling teased. What's the progress with you and Caiyi?"
"I only know that she was poisoned by the Carefree Grass.”
"As expected of my disciple. You've made progress so quickly. Sit down. I have something to tell you.”Yan Geling's expression was unfathomable.
"What instructions do you have, Master?"
At this moment, Xu Caiyi suddenly barged in.
"Martial Uncle, can you tell me why my memories disappeared? Does this have anything to do with Master?”
"Don't be anxious. Sit down and listen to me.”Since things had come to this, he had no intention of hiding it anymore. "You lost your memory because of the Carefree Grass, and it was your master who used it.”
"Why?" She really couldn't believe it.
"This is all my fault. If I hadn't hurt her heart back then, your master wouldn't have done such a foolish thing.”Yan Geling sighed. "Yu Ying and I were lovers when we were young, but because I was jealous, I wrongly accused your master of having an affair with Eldest Senior Brother. At that time, I was so arrogant that I angered her away. In the end, she changed her personality after being wronged and only did things according to her own preferences.”Yan Geling looked at Xu Caiyi and Mo Hongfei and sighed again. " Before she met Caiyi, she had been looking for a suitable disciple. Because Caiyi was very close to her, she used the Nepenthe Grass in a situation where both the terrain and the people were suitable. She wanted to settle this once and for all..."
Hearing the truth, Xu Caiyi felt a little complicated. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak when she thought about how meaningless her life had been for the past five years.
After knowing the truth, Mo Hongfei could only smile bitterly. Before the truth was revealed, he would never have guessed that Yu Ying had done such a thing just to take Caiyi as her disciple, causing the two of them to be separated for five years.
Yan Geling patted Caiyi's back." Don't blame your master. She realized that she was wrong, so she asked me to bring you here so that your family could be reunited.”
"What about the antidote for the Nepenthe Grass?" Mo Hongfei was eager to know the whereabouts of the antidote so that Xu Caiyi could regain her memory.
Yan Geling had a helpless look on her face as she remained silent.
"There is no antidote for the Nepenthe Grass." Xu Caiyi answered the question on his behalf. She stood up and ran out with a defeated expression.
"Are you alright?" Seeing that her condition was not right, Mo Hongfei followed closely behind her. After taking a few steps, her body went limp and she fainted in Mo Hongfei's arms.
Mo Hongfei took care of Xu Caiyi in the water tower.
When she finally woke up, the first thing she said was-
"Help me bring Xiao En here. We're going back to Mount Huang.”
Her words made Mo Hongfei lose his cool. "Why? You just came back, why are you going back to Mount Huang?”Mo Hongfei questioned her. "Do you know how much pain I've been in these five years? You've forgotten everything, but you've made me suffer from the pain of missing you every night.”He asked her excitedly.
"Don't be like this." She didn't want to see him so sad. "I just want to go back and clarify things.”
"My master has already told the truth. What else do you want to ask?”
"I want to ask Master personally and hear her tell me personally.”Actually, she still couldn't believe Yan Geling's words.
At this moment, Shui Ling brought Xu Huaien over.
" Mother..." Xu Huaien pushed open the door of the water tower and rushed to the bed. He said excitedly to Xu Caiyi,""Mother, let me tell you! Grandpa and Grandma gave me a lot of things. They gave me a lot of delicious food, all new things that I had never eaten before. I like them so much!"
"Xiao En, although you like them, we can't stay here. We'll go and say goodbye to Grandpa Yan later and then go back to Mount Huang to see Grandma.”
"Can't you stay for a few more days? I haven't even visited this place! It's so beautiful here. It's different from our home.”He pursed his lips.
"Xiao En, are you not obedient?"
"But…what does it matter if we stay here for a few more days?”He did not give up and continued to ask,"Mother, can we stay for a few more days?"”
"Xiao En, don't be disobedient." She did not want to change her mind.
"Mother, it wasn't easy for me to find Father. I don't want to leave him so soon.”Tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked pitiful.
"How can you acknowledge your father so casually? Who wants to be your father?" Xu Caiyi was very surprised by her son's abnormal behavior. He would never cry because she did not allow him to make a request.
"It's him!" He pointed at Mo Hongfei." He said he's my father. Grandpa Mo and Grandma Mo also said the same thing.”His tears had already fallen, and he was sobbing.
Xu Caiyi glanced at Mo Hongfei. His face was expressionless, and the excitement from before was gone.
"Don't cry, mother will promise you. However, we will be leaving in a few days, so you can't say that you want to stay here. Did you know? We have something important to do." Seeing him cry so sadly, she frowned and agreed to his request.
"I understand. Thank you, Mother! Mother is the best." Raising his tear-stained face, he kissed his mother's cheek again and again and smiled happily.
"You child, I really can't do anything to you.”She wiped the tears off Xu Huaien's face with a handkerchief." You! Shy face, crying and laughing, yellow dog peeing. If I tell granny, she'll laugh you to death.”
"Mother…don't tell granny."
"Why?"
"Mother-in-law said: A man does not shed tears easily. I'm a boy. How can I cry?”He said righteously.
"Alright then! Then I won't say anymore." Looking at Xu Huaien acting like a little adult, Xu Caiyi couldn't help but laugh. He was really a treasure!
"Let's go out for a walk!" Xu Caiyi held her son's hand.
"Mother is the best."
"Do you want me to follow?" Mo Hongfei, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
"Let's go together." Xu Huaien was extremely happy.
"Father will bring you to the city to play." Mo Hongfei lifted his son up high above his head, causing him to laugh.
"That's awesome!"
Xu Caiyi was about to say that it would be fine as long as they walked around the residence, but when she saw that they had already walked out, she immediately swallowed the words that she wanted to say and followed quietly behind them. She was guessing what Mo Hongfei was up to.
Mo Hongfei brought them to the bustling city. Their appearance immediately became a hot topic in the city. Some with good memories had already recognized Xu Caiyi and remembered what happened five years ago. As for Xu Huai 'en, who looked like Mo Hongfei, he was the topic of everyone's conversation. His appearance was like a copy of the mold, and everyone could not help but suspect his identity.
Basically, the habit of listening to gossip and gossiping was the same regardless of ancient or modern times. This was human nature that could never be changed.
Mo Hongfei brought them to the cloth store that he ran. He led them through the hall and into the room where the high-quality clothes were stored.
Xu Huaien's face was filled with curiosity. "What are we doing here?" His small hands touched the ground curiously.
"I'll help you and your mother make new clothes."
"New clothes?" His little face was beaming with joy." That's great.”He wanted to have a white robe as awe-inspiring as his father's.
"Yes, you can choose which one you like. Father will ask the tailor to make it for you.”
Xu Caiyi felt very uncomfortable in this small room. When she met Mo Hongfei's eyes, she felt even more uneasy. She could not guess what he was thinking.
"Why is it so quiet?" Her silence made him realize that she was abnormal. He was still more used to bickering with her from time to time. "Are you thinking about your master?" He approached her.
"Don't get so close to me." She pushed him away.
"Answer my question." He got closer to her.
Xu Huaien's tender voice suddenly sounded,""I'll go outside and take a look." After the novelty disappeared, Xu Huaien was interested in the busy counter outside and the customers coming and going.
"Don't leave the cloth shop." Mo Hongfei's voice rose.
After Xu Huaien ran away, the room immediately fell into complete silence. In this closed room, her nose was filled with his masculine scent.
"Tell me, what are you thinking? What are your plans?"
His deep voice rang in her ears, and his warm breath blew against her sensitive earlobes, causing her to tremble.
"I still want to go back to Mount Huang first.”She said lightly, deliberately ignoring the influence he had on her.
"Don't even think about it. I will never let you leave my side.”He hated her cold tone. The anger in his heart soared as he pulled her into his arms. "Can't you feel my heart for you? I love you so much." He held her hand tightly to his heart, hoping that she could feel his heartache.
"Don't be like this." Her heart ached as she placed her hand on his face, unable to ignore his feelings.
"Is your heart aching?" He lowered his head abruptly and kissed her red lips forcefully.
She endured his anger and this ungentle kiss. She stubbornly closed her lips and did not let him go deeper. Although her heart ached for him, it did not mean that he could do whatever he wanted. She did not like this threatening kiss.
Her evasion made him even angrier.
"Damn it, do you hate me so much that you can't wait to leave me?”
Xu Caiyi lowered her head and did not speak.
He pinched her chin and forced her to look up at him. "Look at me and say that you want to leave me."
When she saw the anger and pain in his eyes, she couldn't bring herself to leave.
" You…" Her words disappeared in another domineering kiss. His tongue went straight in and sucked her sweetness until she could not breathe.
Xu Caiyi's breathing began to become chaotic.
"Please…don't do this."
He ignored her and pressed her body against him.
"Father!"
Xu Huaien's voice sounded, and Mo Hongfei immediately stopped what he was doing.
"Are you guys done?" Xu Huaien pushed the door open and entered. His eyes widened as he looked at the two people hugging each other.
"Xiao En, be good. You go out first. Mother and I will go out immediately.”
Xu Huaien walked out obediently.
Xu Caiyi struggled to leave Mo Hongfei's embrace.
"Don't move. Don't make me do something that you and I will regret.”Mo Hongfei's tone was still filled with the desire stirred up by his passion. He needed to calm down.
Xu Caiyi quieted down. She knew what would happen if she moved. If it wasn't for Wynne, she would have let him do whatever he wanted without any resistance.
She honestly faced her feelings and realized that she could not leave him. In this short period of time, she seemed to have fallen in love with him. It was as if the love she once had for him had awakened in an instant.
A clear image suddenly appeared in her mind. It was the image of the two of them entangled with each other. She clearly heard Mo Hongfei ask her in a low and hoarse voice,
Can I love you?
Shocked by the scene that appeared in her mind, she was stunned. She only came to her senses when Mo Hongfei called out to her.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing."
"I won't apologize to you for what happened just now. That's the thing I want to do the most after seeing you.”Seeing that her hands were trembling and she couldn't straighten her clothes, Mo Hongfei helped her tidy them up.
She didn't say anything and allowed him to help her straighten her clothes.
"Alright."
"Thank you!" The lust he had aroused earlier had completely disappeared.
"Let's go! Xiao En must be getting impatient." He pulled Xu Caiyi out.
"You guys are so slow!" Xu Huaien frowned and complained. "This is the material I chose. I want a white robe that is exactly the same as Father's.”He lifted the cloth in his hand.
"Alright, I'll make one that's exactly the same as Father's.”He picked up Wynne. "Are you hungry?"
He nodded vigorously.
"I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"Awesome!" He beamed.
"You and your mother can't stand hunger.”He looked at Xu Caiyi. "They are all greedy little ghosts."
"Mother and I are not little gluttons.”He immediately protested. "Mother, right?"
"We are not, your father is."
Her casual answer immediately made Mo Hongfei's mood soar to the heavens because she had finally acknowledged his identity.
"Let's go!" He wanted to bring them to the lakeside garden, perhaps this would remind Cai Yi of something.#
