Chapter 410 - Her grandfather doesn't like him. (2)

Ning Zhi felt her throat tightened and her eyes sore, swollen, and turned red. “I’m sorry. But you have promised me that you would not hurt yourself again. Or else I would keep on crying where you can’t see.”

“Zhizhi, Zhizhi……” Lu Jue wrapped his arms around her tightly and clumsily.

Zhizhi was his. Nobody could take her away from him.

Ning Zhi’s eyes teared up. She, too, held onto Lu Jue tightly. Turning her head, she kissed him gently on the tip of his ear. “Goodbye, Lu Jue.”

Ning Zhi’s body turned transparent gradually.

There was nothing left between Lu Jue’s arms. The warm feeling and the fragrance were both gone. It was but emptiness.

The clothes that were tied into a knot came undone and was wrinkly.

“Zhizhi!”

The nurse, who was spacing out, heard the voice of his Young Master and walked up quickly. “What’s the matter, Young Master Lu Jue?”

To his surprise, the nurse noticed that Lu Jue’s eyes were beet red.

He was crying.

At the very same moment, inside the room on the first floor, Mother Lu was holding a letter in her hand. She asked Father Lu in surprise, “How did this letter get here? Who’s it from?”

Mother Lu opened the envelope……

In the morning, sunlight shone through the white laced curtain and entered the room, filling it with warm light.

Ning Zhi opened her eyes and the corners of her eyes were still red.

Looking at her surrounding, she realized that she was inside the old castle.

“I am back, Overlord.” Ning Zhi summoned Overlord right away.

“What is going to happen to Lu Jue of the future?” She was worried.

Overlord: [Congratulations, Host. You have completed your mission and will receive a reward. As for Lu Jue of the future, I am unable to gain any information on his current status.] Ning Zhi’s eyes dimmed a little. She felt awful.

Overlord: [You don’t need to worry, Host. He would not die from self-inflicted injuries anymore.] Ning Zhi did not want to respond to it.

Overlord started talking again: [Host, you can make any request for your reward.] That cheered Ning Zhi up a little. “I want Lu Jue to have his memories back.”

Overlord: [Host, you have established a new connection with Lu Jue. There is really no need to do that. There are many rewards that we have to offer. You can even ask for wealth. You must give it some serious thoughts.] It knew that many humans love wealthy. Much like how it loved little suns.

Ning Zhi didn’t care about what Overlord had to say. “I have money. All I want is Lu Jue’s memories.”

Overlord: [Alright then, Host.]

Lu Jue, who was lying next to Ning Zhi, opened his eyes the very next second.

“You hare awaken, Lu Jue.” Ning Zhi looked at him with anticipation.

“Zhizhi.” As soon as he had said that, many fragments of memories entered his head.

He remembered redness. There was a lot of blood. That was when Odd Big Sister was stabbed.

He remembered living with Zhizhi.

The first time that they’ve laid together. The first time that they had hold hands. Their first kiss. And the unwrapping of birthday gift. The scenes rushed to him one after another.

Lu Jue’s eyes started to turn red. He scooted closer to Ning Zhi and hugged her tightly in her surprised look. “I remember it now.”

His deep voice was almost hoarse and his eyes moist and dim. “I’m sorry, Zhizhi. I’m sorry, Odd Big Sister. I shouldn’t have forgotten about you.”

His hear beating uncontrollably inside his chest and the emotions that he was feeling almost overwhelmed him.

Lu Jue nuzzled at Ning Zhi’s shoulder and his eyes were beet red. “Zhizhi, Zhizhi……”

Ning Zhi’s eyes lit up. He finally remembered.

Lu Jue sat up and, under Ning Zhi’s surprised gaze, he said in his deep and hoarse voice, “Unwrap me, zz."

Mother Lu was overjoyed when she learned that her son was going to bring home his girlfriend.

She immediately had the butler prepared snacks that girls would like and had them decorated the place with fresh flowers. Turning, she quickly returned to her room to pick up her outfit.

Looking at her husband who was just sitting there, she shoved him and asked, “What do you think about this one? Does it come across as too serious? What about this one instead? Is it too showy?”

“You look very nervous.” Father Lu had Mother Lu sat down next to him. “Relax. You are their elders. Why are you so nervous?”

“This is the first time our son is bring home a girl. Of course I am going to be nervous.” Mother Lu gave her husband a stare. “Hurry up and change.”
