Nono finally withdrew her foot reluctantly: "It's not entirely... Susie is my best friend, what's wrong with standing up for my best friend?"

"You shouldn't be doing that to me, though!"

Xia Mu sighed and turned to Su Xi, "Senior sister, do you really think I'm your boyfriend? You... don't you remember senior brother... Chu Zihang?"

"Xia Mu! You really do remember!"

Before Susie could react, Lu Mingfei pounced on her like a bear, almost jumping onto Xia Mu.

Xia Mu was forced to jump back again.

"Chu...Zi...Hang..."

Susie hugged her head, feeling somewhat lost and helpless.

"Susie, what's wrong?" Nono immediately ran over to support her.

Susie leaned against her, raising her fair wrist to gently touch her forehead: "Chu Zihang...who exactly is he..."

"Nono... I feel like there's a void in my heart..."

"There's a boy...he's like a shadow passing through my life...but I can never quite grasp him..."

She endured the pain that threatened to make her faint, knowing that she had been tormented by this emotion for several days, almost simultaneously with Lu Mingfei's mental breakdown.

"Xia Mu... is the empty space in my heart... that boy named Chu Zihang?"

She couldn't help but keep thinking about that image, waking up from her dream with a start. The dream was probably just her rowing a boat to meet the boy. The river was shrouded in mist, and there was a long bridge in the mist, with the boy standing on the bridge.

"Don't you really notice anything wrong? Like how you and I met, and is the real beauty in your heart... with me? Are you sure?" Xia Mu said seriously.

Susie had a splitting headache, but she endured it, desperately trying to think.

"Let me help her! Her mental strength is failing! Even if she remembers everything, she might become an idiot!"

Xia Mi's voice suddenly rang in my mind.

Xia Mu knew this was a serious matter, so he didn't bring the short-legged cat with him.

"How can I help?" he asked.

“Of course, forehead to forehead!” Xia Mi said.

Xia Mu was a little embarrassed, but still said to Su Xi, "Senior sister, it's difficult for you to break through this spell's blockade with your mental strength. I need to help you."

"it is good."

Susie agreed without hesitation.

Chen Motong and Lu Mingfei then saw Xia Mu, who had been keeping his distance from Su Qian, suddenly walk up to her and gently press his forehead against hers.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a spirit helping you take control of your body so you can concentrate on remembering the boy you truly love..."

A faint golden light emanated from the point where their foreheads touched.

Susie suddenly lost control of her body.

She "saw" herself move her hands strangely, like... a kitten making a beckoning cat gesture, waving her little paws.

Xia Mu took a step back and said in his mind, "Hey! Stop messing around!"

“I’m not making a fuss, it’s just that I’m not used to human bodies right now…” Xia Mi said.

"It's starting... It's starting..."

Susie suddenly stopped making strange movements, and under the watchful eyes of three pairs of people, she began to speak softly: "I think I can remember some things..."

"Our first meeting was on the train to Kassel College. It was a noisy ordinary carriage, and I was very nervous..."

"From childhood to adulthood, I always considered myself an ordinary girl, until the admissions officer from Kassel College came to me..."

"At that time, I had not yet received my own rating. I sat in a regular carriage with boys and girls from all over the world. Many of the freshmen came from mixed-race families with a long history. They knew what they were from a young age and what kind of university they would eventually attend, so they seemed to have no burden and were no different from the freshmen who went to register at regular universities."

“The whole new world was like a kaleidoscope spinning around me, and I, a Chinese girl with black hair, black eyes, a ponytail, and glasses, felt so out of place.”

Chapter 355 His name is Chu Zihang!

Susie unconsciously pinched the hem of her skirt.

"I was rubbing the hem of my skirt, as if I could wring water out of it."

"At that moment, a boy with black hair and black eyes, just like me, sat down opposite me. After he sat down, he busied himself filling out various forms for enrollment."

"Although I guessed he was also from China, I'm the type of person who would never bother someone, so we remained silent until he suddenly looked up and said, 'Have you filled out your enrollment form? Do you want to copy mine?'"

A faint smile appeared on Susie's lips.

"I nodded quickly. Those complicated forms really gave me a headache. My English wasn't very good when I first came to the United States."

“I remember him looking me in the eyes and saying, ‘You look nervous.’”

Susie chuckled softly. "I couldn't meet his gaze, so I forced a joke: 'We're sitting on a train full of monsters!'"

"What did he say?" Xia Mu asked cooperatively.

“He responded with a very mild joke,” Susie smiled, “He said, ‘Isn’t that good? We’re monsters too, and when monsters meet, we’re family.’”

"Based on my understanding of my senior brother, he probably didn't mean to make a joke; he was just stating the facts as an equal," Xia Mu said with a smile.

Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, the senior brother who killed the idiot in our memories is the same one!"

Nono glared at him, annoyed, then turned to Susie and urged, "And then?"

She possesses the incredible ability to profile people, enabling her to determine that what Susie said was entirely true.

The following scene seemed to appear before her eyes:

Susie and the boy looked out the car window together. The summer of that year was not yet over, and the forests of Illinois displayed countless shades of green. Looking out the car window, it was like a flowing abstract painting.

A boy and a girl from China sit at opposite ends of this painting, like strangers who meet by chance in a museum and are drawn to the same painting.

However, this wonderful encounter came to an abrupt end. After getting off the train at her stop, Susie felt lost again.

The academy arranged different exits for different students. The descendants of mixed-race families went this way, those who had passed the 3E exam went that way, and professors greeted students they knew at different exits. Some students even had butlers waiting for them on the platform.

She was like an outsider who arrived in Paris by train in 1900, suddenly lost in the torrent of the metropolis.

“Don’t be afraid, I don’t know which way to go either,” the boy said. “Just wait here and don’t go away. I’ll go ask someone and come back for you when I find out.”

"Later I kept waiting, just waiting on the platform, standing and sitting on my suitcase, until the sun went down... but he never came back."

Susie suddenly looked up at Xia Mu, "Then it was you who saw me all alone on the platform and came up to greet me, and took me to the campus on the mountaintop in your car."

Xia Mu gave a half-smile: "Is that so?"

"wrong!"

Nuonuo suddenly exclaimed, "Xia Mu is a year below us! How could he possibly pick you up there!"

"what!"

Susie called out, her memory becoming hazy, "N-no, that's right, Xia Mu is a year below us, and you often make fun of me about that..."

She suddenly clutched her head.

"Quick! Stabilize her mind; she can't continue exploring downwards on her own!"

Before Xia Mu could finish speaking, Xia Mi took over Su Xi's body again and stretched like a cat: "Okay, continue."

Xia Mu: "..."

"During my four years of university, I would still run into that boy from time to time. Sometimes it was in an elective class, and the person by the window would occasionally turn around and see that it was him. But when I looked for him again in the next class, he was gone..."

"Sometimes during rowing races, in the fleeting moment a rowboat flashes by, Nono shouts 'Go!', but I see the boy in the rowboat turn around and glance at me..."

"Sometimes it would just be on the lawn, me eating my homemade lunch, and the boy would sit down opposite me with a lunchbox. I never discussed why he left me that day. Every time we met, it was like we were close friends. Sometimes we'd exchange glances, sometimes we'd say a few words, and then we'd say goodbye when it was time for class or something else, as if we'd see each other again tomorrow, and there was no need to feel sad..."

Suddenly, tears welled up in Susie's eyes.

"But often, once he leaves, we don't know when we'll see him again. Our memories of him are always fragmented, like a movie that has been cut up and pieced back together."

Tears streamed down her face like broken beads.

"I don't know if I've lost my mind. Could that boy be just a figment of my imagination? How can two people who know each other so well not know each other's names..."

"I tried hard to recall, and every time I met that boy, it was like being in an old movie, and even the boy's face was blurred because of the aging of the film."

"Yet his presence felt so real. He subtly changed me. Because of him, I changed my hairstyle, and my personality became much stronger than when I first entered school, even though I've always been a stubborn girl..."

The First Evolution

"Yes, and Blood Explosion, that's also related to him!"

Susie couldn't stop the tears streaming down her face.

"That day, while I was browsing through ancient books in the library, I suddenly realized that he was sitting across from me. He didn't look up, just scribbling on a piece of paper, so I didn't think to greet him. After he finished writing and drawing, he suddenly pushed the stack of papers towards me..."

He said, "It's very important information. Keep it to yourself and don't give it to others."

"It was a photocopy of an old notebook. He had made annotations next to the mysterious alchemical terms. That was the day he told me the secret of the Blood Explosion..."

Susie was having trouble breathing.

Xia Mi had no choice but to take over her body again.

"Three nights ago, I had a nightmare in which he came to say goodbye to me. There was no particular reason; it was just that we were graduating and the students were saying goodbye to each other. I was smiling when we said goodbye, and he was smiling too."

"But when I woke up, my face was covered in tears, and I was so scared that I couldn't sit still."

"I've always been vaguely afraid of one thing: that the boy who's like a shadow doesn't exist at all, or that I'll never see him again."

Susie suddenly broke down in tears, crying as if she were about to faint.

"I remember! I remember!"

"In the end, we met again... not just once, but again... That day, as the sun was setting, I waited alone on the platform, on the verge of tears, when he finally ran back, breathless, grabbed my hand, and walked away..."

Susie was in tears, her eyes blurry as she stared at Xia Mu.

"Chu Zihang...right?"

"The boy I've always remembered is Chu Zihang..."

"It's Chu Zihang, the one you're talking about!"
