"He is sunbathing."

"We are indeed fated."

"Have you changed your appearance?"

"Mei ma?"

"Can I call you A-Xu?"

"Is this the result you wanted?"

"A-Xu, I am an evil person, right?"

"If your heart is kind, you are not evil."

"A-Xu... Wait for me!"

"It's too late to save the person I want to save..."

"Does it hurt?"

"The world is not important... finding a soulmate is."

"Zhen Yan..."

"It's too late."

"They're all dead! They all died together with Zhen Yan!"

"Since I've been put into hell, why do you give me a way back to earth?"

"Wen, Wen Kexing."

"Ghost Valley Chief?"

"I knew you'd definitely come..."

"Save it..."

"Ni bu pei!"

"...and quitting from the martial world, to live a tranquil life with you..."

"Brother, kill him for me..."

"I came to die with you."

"Lao Wen..."

"It was always on my head?"

"Please allow me..."

"....."

"Ghost boy."

"You deserved it."

"Pathetic!"

"Ugly! Crazy! Scary!"

"Look at your hair!"

"Who would help you?!"

Kick, punch, shove, slap

"You dare harm my person?"

"You remind me of someone."

"You remember me?!"

"Forgive me."

Wen Kexing's eyes flew open, his fingers were cold and numb, his chest ached and his heartbeats were too loud. His pupils scanned the room and they landed on the familiar faces looking down at him. "What happened?" He whispered, eyes full of confusion.

Zhu Zishu gazed at him with hopeful eyes, their dark color glistening in anticipation. But his lips were pale, his hair was messy and his fingers trembled as he traced his hand over Wen Kexing's face. "Lao Wen..."

"What happened...?" Wen Kexing genuinely asked once again. "Did I... My head..."

The sparkle in Zhou Zishu's eyes instantly vanished, his slightly curved lips were once again drawn like a straight line, "Y-you... d-don't..?" He couldn't force out the words.

"I-"

"I'm losing my sanity!" Zhou Zishu turned to the others, his tone was sharp yet full of disappointment. "It's the same cycle all over again! He remembers, he passes out, he wakes up, he forgets!" He walked to the door, "I can't bear this anymore!" He yelled in pain and punched the door frame, "forgive me." His voice broke before he pushed everyone away and stormed out.
