"All's fair in war. You said it yourself."
Zhu Yuan blinked her eyes and said with an innocent expression. Mo Xuan was so angry he almost transformed on the spot. He reached out and wrapped his arm around Zhu Yuan's waist, pulling her back onto the branch sofa and pressing her down firmly.
"You bad person! I'll fight you!"
Mo Xuan's expression was one of anger and shame. Zhu Yuan, seeing him act fierce but actually not making a move, finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Pfft, hahaha, hahahaha! Your angry look has none of the calm and composure you have in battle. Why is it you?"
Zhu Yuan was laughing so happily. Not just because of Mo Xuan's performance, but also because her previous guess was confirmed. The knight was really the person she valued most, the man she was most optimistic about, and also the person she liked. How could she not be happy?
"Do you still remember what I said during the interview? I just want to do something for humanity."
Mo Xuan let go of Zhu Yuan and said helplessly. Anyway, his memory would be erased later. His心态 (xīntài - mentality) also calmed down, and he began to confess.
"Mhm, I remember. You're a person of your word. But I really didn't expect it to be you."
Zhu Yuan nodded. Now, thinking back to what Mo Xuan had said during the interview, plus the fact that all his powerful abilities were used to protect humanity, Zhu Yuan felt that she had never been wrong about him. From accepting him into her team to accepting him into her heart, none of it was a mistake.
"I really want to know everything about you. It's just a pity that I can only get to know the real you before my memory is erased."
Zhu Yuan leaned on Mo Xuan's shoulder and said. She knew that if it weren't for the premise of memory erasure, Mo Xuan would definitely not have confessed to her, which was why she felt it was a pity.
"I'm sorry. I don't have the courage to confess to you yet," Mo Xuan said.
"I know. If you confess now, I might report it to my superiors. I'm not sure myself. It's a good thing you're hiding it."
Zhu Yuan had no intention of blaming Mo Xuan at all. With her current relationship with Mo Xuan, she might not even be able to keep the secret. It was clear that his choice was completely correct.
"I only have one request. Can this memory not be erased, but temporarily hidden, and then unlocked for me after our relationship becomes more intimate?"
"Becomes more intimate? What are you talking about..."
Mo Xuan looked at Zhu Yuan with some confusion and asked. But as he was asking, Zhu Yuan had already moved closer to his side, her arms around his neck, leaving a faint kiss on his cheek.
"Mo Xuan, I like you. Be my lover."
Zhu Yuan looked at Mo Xuan with a gentle gaze and said. This confession could be said to be very casual, as casual as eating and drinking, but it also carried the purest of feelings.
"You... you're too despicable. Isn't it just me who knows about this?"
Mo Xuan's mouth was agape for a few seconds. After coming to his senses, he rubbed his forehead and said. Other than the joy of being confessed to, he had a deeper understanding of Zhu Yuan's cunning.
"This is the punishment for you erasing people's memories. Besides, if I didn't know my memory would be erased, I wouldn't have expressed my feelings."
Zhu Yuan leaned against Mo Xuan again and said with a smile. She was also taking the initiative because she had this assurance. She had originally been waiting for Mo Xuan to confess.
"I didn't notice you had so many tricks up your sleeve before. Are you still the righteous female supervisor I know?"
Mo Xuan asked with some confusion. But he had clearly gotten one thing wrong. Righteousness and intelligence are not mutually exclusive. If she didn't have some cunning, how could Zhu Yuan fight against those bad guys?
"Hmph. In matters of love, you can't really talk about righteousness."
Zhu Yuan said with some pride.
"Zhu Yuan, I like you too. I had a good impression of you from the first time I saw you. I am willing to be your lover and love you for a lifetime."
Mo Xuan also went all out at this time. He put his arm around Zhu Yuan's shoulder and gave his counterattack. This was also what he had wanted to say all along.
"W-wait. it's a bit mushy. I can't quite take it."
Zhu Yuan repeatedly waved her hands and said. Her cheeks glowed with a faint red under the moonlight. To suddenly hear such a confession, she was also completely unprepared and was turned back by Mo Xuan.
"This is the effect I wanted. Although it's only for this moment, I feel like I'm the happiest man in New Eridu."
"This is just the beginning. From tomorrow on, you have to work harder to be good to me. I'm easy to pursue. After our relationship becomes more intimate, then you can tell me about the knight's matter."
Zhu Yuan poked Mo Xuan's cheek with her finger and said. In fact, they could have been lovers long ago. It was just that it had been delayed until now. Because of some accidents, they had gotten together ahead of time. Just as she said, after Mo Xuan knew her intentions, he could pursue her more boldly. This was the value of an open-book test.
"Hehe, hehehe. I'll listen to you."
The silly smile on Mo Xuan's face could not be stopped. If you had to say it, every choice in life is indeed very important. If it weren't for him treating the Chemies as his friends and wanting them to come out and play freely even at the risk of exposure, there would have been no confession from Zhu Yuan.
"Look how happy you are. Like an idiot."
Zhu Yuan gave Mo Xuan a white eye, and then also leaned against him with a smile, enjoying the feeling brought by this temporary lover.
By the time it was about time, Mo Xuan nodded at Zhu Yuan. The ring on his hand emitted a red light. The light spread throughout the entire orphanage. Whether it was children or adults, their memories were erased. The children consciously went back to their rooms to sleep. The director and other adults were also doing their own things.
"Mo Xuan, what happened to me? I think I fell asleep."
When Zhu Yuan came to her senses, she found that she was leaning against a tree trunk. Mo Xuan was standing next to her. She couldn't help but ask with some confusion. She felt that she shouldn't be that tired. And she seemed to have forgotten what she was just doing.
"You must have gotten tired from playing with the children. It's normal to take a break."
Mo Xuan said with a smile. The way he looked at Zhu Yuan was the same as usual. But in his heart, he was already secretly pleased with himself for having a girlfriend.
"Is that so? The children have all gone to sleep, right? Then we should go home too."
Zhu Yuan nodded. If she thought about it carefully, she would definitely find something wrong. But because of the influence of alchemy, she did not care about this matter. However, she looked at Mo Xuan for a while and felt that this person seemed much more pleasing to the eye than before. After looking away, she silently complained to herself in her heart, what's the big deal about being charmed by a man?
