In the dead of night, Sui Yuan lit the calming incense and pasted the invisibility talisman on himself before tiptoeing out of the room.
According to 0007's information, Zhao Xihe was currently in the study. 0007 had also been very considerate in providing him with a map of the residence's structure. Even the soldiers' patrol route was marked.
Sui Yuan turned to glance at 5237. He felt more and more that…Zhao Xihe's system was so good. Meanwhile, 5237, who didn't know it was being disliked, happily followed the map to help its family's host find the way.
After dodging the patrolling guards yet again, Sui Yuan finally arrived at the still-brightly-lit study. He hesitated for a moment before poking a hole through the paper window and peeking into the study. This was the first time that Sui Yuan had done anything "sneaky," so he couldn't help but be a little nervous. Furthermore, the person inside was not the Zhao Xihe he knew. If he was caught, whether he would have a good ending was unknown.
As Sui Yuan was peeping through the hole in the paper window nervously, before he could even get a clear view, the window before him was suddenly opened. Sui Yuan nearly called out in fright. Fortunately, he recalled that he had an invisibility talisman on, so he directly concentrated on not moving.
Zhao Xihe's ident.i.ty in this world was that of a general with a jade-like face. His appearance naturally was not bad. Only, his handsome, fair looks were completely covered by a demonic aura. His long and narrow phoenix eyes were especially sharp. He slowly swept a gaze at the night scenery outside the window. Who knew if he had noticed that something was off or if he was just opening the window to let some air in?
Sui Yuan prayed that it was the latter. Unfortunately, even if he had lost a portion of his memories, Zhao Xihe was absolutely not stupid. When he didn't see anything strange, his lips curved up slightly, "I know that someone is here. Do you plan on showing yourself, or will you wait for me to catch you when that little prop of yours runs out of time?"
Sui Yuan:"………………………………"
——Even if he couldn't see 0007, at this moment, Sui Yuan wanted to spit in its face. What happened to being comrades, ne!? Is there really no problem with being this eager to sell out your teammate?! I'm still not prepared, ah!
Sui Yuan silently took back his praise for 0007. Compared to the scheming 0007, indeed, he and the cute, silly 5237 worked together better. Sui Yuan covered his face helplessly and then tore off the invisibility talisman. He calmly stood up and met with Zhao Xihe's eyes.
The moment he saw Sui Yuan, Zhao Xihe couldn't help but frown. He blurted out discontentedly, "Why are you so thin?"
When he spoke, both Sui Yuan and Zhao Xihe couldn't help but be startled. The former wondered why the other was being so familiar with him. Wasn't his memory sealed? Meanwhile, the latter was also confused over the words that had automatically come out of his mouth.
Pausing for a moment, Zhao Xihe took the initiative to make room, indicating that Sui Yuan should enter. Sui Yuan readily accepted and slipped into the study through the window. He looked at Zhao Xihe, a bit bewildered and uncertain, "Do you remember me?"
"Should I remember you?" Zhao Xihe replied, unperturbed. He closed the window that had been opened and then stared at the hole in the window with disdain, "I really doubt whether you're the a.s.sistant who was called. You would unexpectedly use such a…low-quality tactic to peep."
Sui Yuan:"………………………………"
——Did Zhao Xihe dada really have such a poisonous tongue in the past!? Save me, I don't remember! QAQ
"My points…cough…are low," Sui Yuan, who suffered a psychological attack from Zhao Xihe, resentfully rubbed his nose.
"Mn, I can tell. That's why you used the cheapest invisibility talisman that only lasts one s.h.i.+chen," Zhao Xihe smile satirically and then gestured to a chair with his chin, "Sit."
Sui Yuan:"………………………………"
——Simply cannot get along! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
While Sui Yuan was silently cursing his lover for having become hostile and being unable to recognize him, a translucent cloak suddenly appeared before him. Sui Yuan received it with an astonished expression. He raised his head to look at the other but ended up being roasted by the other with a face of impatience, "Don't make such a stupid expression. I'm just worried that you'll drag me down with your one-s.h.i.+chen invisibility talisman. For now, I'll give you this invisibility cloak to use."
Sui Yuan fell silent and quietly murmured his thanks. He put the invisibility cloak into 5237's s.p.a.ce, feeling both touched and upset.
Seeing Sui Yuan accept his present in such a lovable manner, Zhao Xihe's expression was evidently quite happy. Even though, he found it rather baffling. He shook off the strange feeling in his heart and then sat in front of Sui Yuan. After enduring a moment of awkwardness, he knocked on the door, "Then, how do you plan on helping me this time?"
Although he was asking this, Zhao Xihe felt a bit absent-minded. He felt that this position and angle were not quite right…he ought to be sitting by the youth's side and even…a bit closer….
"How to help…?" Sui Yuan was conflicted. He didn't know how to express it. He could only honestly say, "By staying by your side?"
Zhao Xihe was startled. The corner of his lips couldn't help but raise. He found it extremely strange though that he felt so happy. In order to resist this feeling, he deliberately furrowed his brows, "Stay by my side? For what? To serve as a mascot?!"
Sui Yuan:"………………………………"
——Really sorry. It seemed that this time, he really was a "mascot"….
After silently repeating to himself three times that "He is not your lover right now," Sui Yuan readily asked for advice, "Then, what should I do?"
"Our task is to kill the Destroyer. Right now, the Destroyer is…" Taking a pause, Zhao Xihe did not continue speaking. He stared at Sui Yuan. His stare made all the hairs on Sui Yuan's body stand up.
