　　"I'm not Ming Hui. I'm Sui Yuan and only Sui Yuan." Sui Yuan stared at Mo Ziyou and refuted him very seriously.

　　He was not stupid, and he knew who he was. He could faintly guess the relations.h.i.+p between the person Mo Ziyou was chasing and him—or rather, the him before he had been reformatted. However, regardless if it was Zhao Xihe, the Origin, or 5237, they didn't want him to know. Thus, Sui Yuan had pretended to be ignorant. In any case, he had always been coldhearted and didn't care about his "previous fated encounters" at all. Therefore, if he and the person he cared about could be at ease like this, then what could he have gained by playing dumb?

　　To Sui Yuan, his current self and his previous self before having been reformatted were two different beings. He only recognized his current self as himself.

　　As for Mo Ziyou, Sui Yuan could apologize to him, but that's it. He would not compensate Mo Ziyou for the him who had already been reformatted, because this had nothing to do with him. He had been reformatted a countless number of times. Every time, it was like he was born anew. Sui Yuan had no duty nor capability to carry the experiences and feelings of his "past selves." The only person he could accept, the only one he would carry, was Zhao Xihe.

　　Mo Ziyou looked at Sui Yuan, eyes twinkling, and he smiled, "Indeed, you already knew….Of course, you've always been very smart. You're just used to neglecting anything you deem unimportant, that’s all…."

　　Sui Yuan didn't want to reminisce with Mo Ziyou. He pursed his lips, expression cold, "What do you want to do? Come out of Zhao Xihe's body! Otherwise, I don't know what I just might do!"

　　"Relax…relax. Even if I want to do anything to your lover, the residuals of my spiritual force cannot fulfill my wish. You should have already heard that I've 'died', right?" Mo Ziyou raised both hands, making a placating motion, expression peaceful and harmless, "I just wanted to see you…for the last time."

　　"I don't believe there's anything to say between us," Sui Yuan refused coldly, "Besides, from what I know about myself, even if you became a 'Destroyer' after 'Ming Hui's' death, I don't think 'Ming Hui' had any special feelings towards you."

　　Because his lover's body was being possessed, Sui Yuan, who had figurative spikes puffing out from all over his body, was not at all polite. He naturally tread on Mo Ziyou's weak spot.

　　Mo Ziyou's eyes darkened, and he laughed bitterly, "That's right. You're right. To him, I was probably just a cowardly, incompetent, little brat, who was always crying and relying on him. He didn't care about me at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have…not even left me a single word after finding out that he would be reformatted…."

　　Sui Yuan frowned. He didn't quite understand, "Then, why are you so attached to him?"

　　"Because…even if he didn't give me a reply, he is still the person who saved me. He is the pillar that allowed me to keep living," Mo Ziyou's tone reflected his low spirits, "Unfortunately, you don't understand…you all don't understand. However, even if it's like this, I will not regret my choice."

　　"Yes, I don't understand," Sui Yuan was very calm towards this. Although he was good at imitating emotions, imitation was nothing but imitation after all.

　　"And because it's like this, I resented that fellow who could obtain your heart all the more," Mo Ziyou raised a hand to point at his—or rather, Zhao Xihe's—chest, "Originally, I didn't understand why he could do it. However, now, I understand. It turns out that ever since the beginning, this was foreordained."

　　Sui Yuan realized that Mo Ziyou was probably speaking about Zhao Xihe's memory that he got to peek at after their fusion. This made him very puzzled, "Why did you choose such a mutually destructive way? It's too abnormal."

　　"Perhaps it's because…I was already at the end of my rope? Or, maybe it's because I wanted to know the answer too much," Mo Ziyou shrugged, "I couldn't see the dawn of my revenge for Ming Hui. I didn't even know to what I should even have enacted my revenge against. Afterwards, a mysterious fellow appeared. He told me that if I wanted to know the truth, I should do what he says. It's not that I didn't hesitate, but in the end, I chose to take this risk. Fortunately, I don't regret my choice."

　　"…Even if you were going to die?" Sui Yuan couldn't quite believe this.

　　"Yes, even if I was going to die. However, sometimes, death does not mean the end. Just like how my previous death had brought me to this world and made me into an Actor, this death will transform me into some other kind of existence," Mo Ziyou smiled, suggesting something.
