The human body is merely a carrier of memories.
At least, that's what Ye Shuang thought.
However, there was a problem with his memory. So, after dinner, he stayed in his room, reading the content of a novel. Although there wasn't much content, Ye Shuang still managed to slightly correct his memory in this way.
This method wasn't ideal, though. Since these were not things he had personally experienced, Ye Shuang felt a sense of "detachment." He even found it difficult to have any feelings for Chen Qin. But this was the only option available.
Rubbing his temples, Ye Shuang cast his gaze out of the window at the night view. The neon lights were still bright. Since he was on the top floor, the view was quite good.
"..." Just then, a firework streaked across the night sky and exploded, causing Ye Shuang to pause for a moment.
"Fireworks," Ye Shuang felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He watched the blooming flowers in the sky, as if lost in thought. But every time his thoughts deepened, his brain would respond with a sharp pain.
Ye Shuang frowned and took a long time to ease the pain.
It was as if his brain was warning him not to think too much.
However, when he felt a bit better, Ye Shuang forced himself to continue thinking. As a result, the next second, his brain was hit with an even more intense pain!
"Damn it," Ye Shuang cursed under his breath, and his phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
But he didn't have time to worry about the phone. The intense pain in his brain forced him to pound his head. It took him more than ten minutes to feel better.
After calming down a bit, Ye Shuang slowly exhaled.
"Click, click." The sound from behind caught his attention. Ye Shuang turned around and saw a head peeping out from the door, along with a soft voice, "Ye Shuang, I heard you in pain."
It was Bai Yuyou who opened the door. At this moment, she tilted her head slightly, as if observing Ye Shuang's state. After observing for a while with her delicate eyes, she continued to ask in a soft voice,
"Are you okay?"
"I... should be okay?" Ye Shuang just shook his head and forced a smile.
At this time, Bai Yuyou walked over. Although Ye Shuang didn't say anything, the girl still keenly sensed his discomfort.
Yu You didn't know many things, but she knew that Ye Shuang was uncomfortable now.
So she was worried.
Seeing Bai Yuyou walking up to him, Ye Shuang wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face in her embrace.
The soft fragrance of facial cleanser mixed with the scent of body wash. Ye Shuang seemed to relax a bit, and his shoulders slumped.
However, this action made Bai Yuyou stunned for a moment because Ye Shuang rarely made such intimate gestures. Although the girl didn't know what was wrong with Ye Shuang, she let him hug and hold her. And she also reached out her hand to gently stroke his hair.
A hug would make the discomfort go away.
A few seconds later, Ye Shuang seemed to come to his senses. He wondered if this was his usual behavior. What exactly was his relationship with Yu You?
But feeling the little hand stroking the back of his head, Ye Shuang thought that there probably wouldn't be any problems.
It should be okay.
...
The night passed in silence.
The next day.
Ye Shuang woke up early and stayed in the kitchen. Although he had promised Chen Qin to cook delicious food for her yesterday, in fact, Ye Shuang didn't know what she liked to eat or her taste preferences.
The novel didn't seem to mention relevant content either. After standing in front of the refrigerator for a while, Ye Shuang seemed to think of something. He took out his phone and opened the chat history with Chen Qin.
Thankfully, the chat history on the phone hadn't disappeared. So Ye Shuang opened the relevant chat content and searched for keywords such as [restaurant], [meal], [favorite], [delicious]. After clicking search, as expected, a large amount of chat content appeared.
"Sure enough, there is. Not bad," Ye Shuang seemed to relax a bit. After opening the content, he quickly found out what Chen Qin seemed to like to eat. Ye Shuang took a look and silently memorized it. Then he glanced at the ingredients in the refrigerator.
Although there were quite a few ingredients in the refrigerator, there were none of the kinds that Chen Qin liked. Even if there were, without clear indication in the chat history, Ye Shuang didn't know what to do.
"Ah, none?" Ye Shuang originally planned to order ingredients online, but considering that there was a convenience store downstairs, he finally decided to change his shoes and go out. It would also be a good chance to get some fresh air.
Maybe because he had been lying in bed for a week, Ye Shuang felt his body was a bit weak. Perhaps his muscle mass had decreased. If he continued to lie in bed for a longer time, he might even experience muscle atrophy.
Just as Ye Shuang was about to go out, he heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs behind him. He turned around and saw Bai Yuyou walking down the stairs in a green dinosaur pajamas. When she saw Ye Shuang standing at the entrance, her eyes blinked under the teeth of the dinosaur's big mouth.
"Where are you going, Ye Shuang?"
"Just going to buy some ingredients and take a walk." Ye Shuang smiled.
"I want to go with you." Bai Yuyou said.
"Sure."
After getting Ye Shuang's approval, Bai Yuyou immediately turned around and went upstairs. However, her pajamas weren't very convenient for movement. Even her little tail was swaying back and forth, looking incredibly cute.
While waiting, Ye Shuang was still looking at the chat history with Chen Qin. He tried to remember the content so as not to make any mistakes when talking to her.
Saying that he had only recovered a little bit of his memory was essentially an excuse for himself.
When he saw Chen Qin's hurt look at that time, Ye Shuang didn't know why he felt a bit sad in his heart.
Although Ye Shuang didn't want to lie about having recovered his memory, he would rather see the girl smile than let her continue to be hurt.
...
A few minutes later, Bai Yuyou changed her clothes and came downstairs. She was wearing a beige dress paired with a cream - white lace - trimmed top. She looked like a cute little princess cake, incredibly beautiful and lovely.
"Your clothes are very nice."
"You bought them for me, Ye Shuang." Bai Yuyou said.
Ye Shuang couldn't help but smile. He vaguely remembered that for some time, he had been buying clothes for Bai Yuyou, so many that he couldn't even remember how many different kinds there were.
Whether clothes look good or not basically depends on one's appearance. So Yu You didn't have to worry about not being able to carry them off.
Except for the Michelin - like parts.
"Let's go," Ye Shuang said with a smile after holding Bai Yuyou's little hand and giving her a gentle kiss on the lips.
Bai Yuyou was stunned for a few seconds. Maybe she wasn't used to seeing such an active Ye Shuang. At this moment, she just stood there motionless.
She seemed to be in a state of shock...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
