"Am I your boyfriend?" Shen Mochen blinked, trying to awaken the other person's conscience with a sincere expression.

"Hmm." Xiao Xingshuang nodded seriously and showed Shen Mochen a photo of the two of them. "Look, this is a photo of us. It was taken in Yupi."

"oh oh……"

Shen Mochen nodded with a puzzled expression. Although it was a photo of the two of them together, he couldn't really tell how intimate they were in the picture.

Seeing that Shen Mochen seemed somewhat disbelieving, Xiao Xingshuang opened the cabinet again and took out a pink bracelet: "And this, it's a birthday present you gave me."

Shen Mochen examined it closely. Before him was a very ordinary-looking seashell bracelet, tied with a pink cord. It didn't look like anything valuable; it looked like something you'd just bought at a roadside boutique. Would anyone actually give this as a birthday gift to their girlfriend?
“So ugly…” Shen Mochen said subconsciously.

Xiao Xingshuang remained silent, thinking to herself, "So you thought it was ugly too?"

“I really appreciate your thoughtfulness,” Xiao Xingshuang said.

"So, we really are a couple?"

Shen Mochen blinked resignedly, his face showing an "I see" expression.

He certainly didn't believe it. If the two were truly a couple, Xiao Xingshuang would have countless pieces of evidence. However, Shen Mochen could only proceed with extreme caution to avoid provoking her.

And since the other party is pretending to be his girlfriend, she probably doesn't want to harm him.

"Yes, we really are a couple!" Xiao Xing Shuang said decisively, with a hint of ruthlessness.

"What's my name? Why am I here?" Shen Mochen tried to extract information.

"Your name is... Zhang Xiaoqiang."

No, this must be a name you came up with on the spot! I've been so cooperative with you, and you still won't tell me my real name!
Shen Mochen's lips twitched slightly.

"So, how did I get here... I remember you said I was... a celebrity?" Shen Mochen continued to probe cautiously.

“You came to Roman to see me secretly,” Xiao Xingshuang said after a moment of silence.

Well, it's just another fabricated story.

"Then my identity..."

"A minor idol with no popularity."

No, girl, can you tell me the truth?! Shen Mochen laughed inwardly, thinking to herself, I've already given myself to you, and this is how you treat me?!
Despite remembering nothing, Shen Mochen did not become an idiot.

"Oh, I see. My name is Zhang Xiaoqiang, a little idol. I secretly came to Roman to visit you, and then I got into an accident." Shen Mochen continued, following Xiao Xingshuang's words, "So, what do you do for a living in Roman, and how did you find me?"

"...I am a guard of the firewood. It just so happens that the place where your plane crashed is near my defense zone. The higher-ups have ordered us to search for survivors."

"The Guardians of the Torch?" Shen Mochen was startled. "Are you a superhuman?"

“Yes, I am a superhuman.” Xiao Xing Shuang’s eyes held a strange glint. “You know about the Keepers of the Fire?”

"I still remember these common-sense things..." Shen Mochen gently rubbed his head, his mind racing.

Given Xiao Xingshuang's apparent naiveté, she was probably not lying when she said that.

According to his understanding of common sense, all active superhumans in the world are collectively called Watchers, only they have different names in different countries.

For example, the Keepers of the Fire in Roman. This name comes from ancient times when humans had just learned to use fire but had not yet mastered the technique of making fire. In order to prevent the fire from going out, people would be sent to guard the fire every night.

Of course, regardless of what these people are called, they all have only one job—to eliminate the invading monsters.

His common sense suggests that he wouldn't assign Watchers any tasks other than those he'd normally give them.

The fact that the Guardians of the Torchlight have been mobilized to search for someone means that the person they're looking for is no ordinary individual. Could it be that they're looking for me—to protect me, or to kill me? Is the one who wants to kill me among them?
"You say you're a superhuman, so could you show me your abilities a little?" Shen Mochen asked.

Xiao Xingshuang remained silent, but with a flick of her hand, a small red phantom appeared. The phantom resembled a tiny person, but had three heads and six arms, each holding something in its hand.

“This is the smallest we can get,” Xiao Xingshuang said.

"What is this little man doing?"

"It's for combat, and it can grow very large. Each of the six weapons in its hand has its own purpose," Xiao Xingshuang said. "You knew that before."

Shen Mochen nodded, acknowledging that this was probably true, and gestured for the other party to put it away. Then, a headache struck him. If he were just an insignificant nobody, perhaps he could still cling to this guardian of the torch.

But as things stand, this man who's holding onto his position might not even have the same strength as himself.

Damn it, this wicked woman! Can't you at least tell me who I am? Then I can analyze the situation a bit more!

Tragically, this wicked woman who lusts after his body happens to be his most reliable "comrade-in-arms" at present.

"Then what about my parents and family..."

"You have no parents, and no family."

"Huh?" Shen Mochen was dumbfounded.

“Your whole family is dead, you’re all alone now,” Xiao Xingshuang said calmly.

Shen Mochen was stunned, staring intently at Xiao Xingshuang's face, who now looked completely calm.

No, I'm an orphan! Shen Mochen felt truly tragic.

"How did we meet?"

Shen Mochen was a little frustrated. The problem was that Xiao Xingshuang hadn't lied to him about being an orphan!

"We're just... casual acquaintances."

Xiao Xingshuang fell into a long pause, as if she was thinking about how to continue the story.

"So, we're neighbors, we've known each other since we were kids?"

Shen Mochen couldn't stand it anymore, and since Xiao Xingshuang didn't seem to be telling him the truth, he simply gave up too.

“Yes.” Xiao Xing Shuang’s eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, as if she was approving of Shen Mo Chen’s “cooperation.”

"Then please tell me where I live and how my parents died?" Perhaps hoping to get the truth from Xiao Xingshuang, Shen Mochen looked sincerely into her face. "Please, I really want to know the truth!"

Xiao Xingshuang was silent for a moment: "...I don't know. I remember that you used to live in the slums north of Yuhuai City. Your parents died in an accident around that time."

Was Shen Mochen's mother dead or not? Xiao Xingshuang tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember. She must be dead; in her memory, Shen Mochen was always an orphan.

Moreover, since leaving Yu Pi, she has deleted everyone on 0819 and cut off all contact with acquaintances in Yu Pi, and has no idea what happened afterward.

I'm from the slums, how could I be involved in anything? Many doubts arose in Shen Mochen's mind.

"By the way, we are all Yu Pi people, so why are you in Roman?" Shen Mochen asked again.

"Make money," Xiao Xingshuang said succinctly.

Suddenly, something resembling a cell phone rang. Xiao Xing Shuang glanced at it, her expression changing slightly. (End of Chapter)
