It turns out that unless a person's memory has been specifically trained, it's very difficult to recall events from more than a decade ago with vivid clarity.
Wen Lin stumbled a little as she tried to remember and recount the parts she still had some impression of.
Under Lin Xingzhu's subtle gaze, she wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead and took a sip of coffee to clear her throat.
"It's been so long. It's normal that I don't remember everything, right?" Wen Lin muttered.
Lin Xingzhu's sharp ears caught the words, and her expression grew thoughtful.
It seemed that Wen Lin had been in this world for quite some time. From how difficult it was for her to recall things, it seemed that "long" was probably measured in years.
This method wasn't working well, so Lin Xingzhu eventually chose to ask directly.
Lin Xingzhu: "Do you remember if she was good with her hands?"
Wen Lin: "...What? How could she be?"
A capable, skilled female protagonist wasn't supposed to be part of the typical setup for a delicate, soft-bodied character from a romance novel.
So that meant she wasn't, then.
Lin Xingzhu nodded and continued, "She... forget it."
Lin Xingzhu suddenly stopped speaking, gazing at Wen Lin's oblivious face. She didn't want to continue asking.
The traits that belonged to Bai Xiying were things Lin Xingzhu had seen with her own eyes, felt with her own heart, during their time spent together. She didn't want to ask Wen Lin about them, as Lin Xingzhu suddenly felt it wasn't necessary.
In truth, she'd already figured it out, hadn't she?
Wen Lin, confused, asked, "Is there any more questions? If not, I'm leaving."
"Wait," Lin Xingzhu stopped her. "Can I ask, what happens at the end of the original story?"
Wen Lin: "..."
Suddenly, she realized something: "You didn't finish it?"
Lin Xingzhu replied calmly, "I didn't."
Wen Lin gasped, feeling a little frustrated.
She thought about the unsatisfying ending of the book, then realized that since Lin Xingzhu didn't know she was the original author, it was only natural to say, "I think it was an open-ended conclusion."
