Nan Xunran looked at her calmly, and the two gazed at each other for a long time.
Just as Wei Yan was about to succumb to the scrutinizing gaze, Nan Xunran slowly spoke, "Okay."
Night
Nan Xunran leaned against the bedside, one arm casually draped over the edge, his gaze fixed on the constantly flashing system notifications.
[The favorability rating of the female Wei Yan increases by 15 points.]
[Current favorability: 95 points]
[Female Wei Yan's favorability decreased by 20 points]
[... Affection level increased by 5 points]
[... Affection level decreased by 15 points]
[...]
[Current favorability: 90 points]
After a long while, the constantly changing notifications finally stopped.
Nan Xunran frowned slightly, his handsome brows furrowing, and asked, "What is she doing?"
The system's cheerful voice rang out. "Daydreaming, I wonder what you're thinking about. You'll need to figure it out yourself soon."
Day 2
A soft knock came from outside the door, followed by Wei Yan's gentle voice. "Divine Son Xunran."
Upon Nan Xunran extended his well-defined hand, gently pushed open the door, and asked in a calm tone, "What is it?"
Wei Yan lowered her eyes, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, and said softly, "I'd like to talk to you."
Nan Xunran nodded slightly.
The two chatted casually for a few minutes. Wei Yan's eyes darted around, and her hands kept fiddling with the accessories at her waist, making her seem quite uneasy.
After a moment, Wei Yan took a deep breath, looked up and stared directly at Nan Xunran, and said, "Divine Son Xunran, do you believe in the concept of rebirth?"
Nan Xunran raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of doubt in his expression.
The system exclaimed in surprise, "My God, they've confessed already?!"
It thought to itself, "The host hasn't even done anything yet, and Wei Yan has already confessed everything."
Wei Yan bit her lower lip tightly, her gaze resolute as she said, "Actually, I am a reborn person, carrying the memories of my past life."
As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly and looked at Nan Xunran, her eyes filled with a hint of trepidation.
Nan Xunran listened calmly to Wei Yan's story.
Wei Yan took a deep breath and continued, "In my past life, I was your fiancée. I formed the Following Wind Cavalry for you, eliminated several powerful families, and got along very well with you."
The system couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey?? Why are you sneaking in your own agenda? When did you become my fiancée??"
Nan Xunran remained silent, simply watching her quietly.
Wei Yan said anxiously, "Everything I've said is true! You must believe me!"
Nan Xunran parted his thin lips slightly and slowly uttered a single word. "Okay."
Wei Yan was stunned, her face full of astonishment. "You believe it?"
Nan Xunran nodded slightly, his expression unchanged.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Wei Yan's eyes, and she quickly asked, "Can I still become your fiancée in this lifetime?"
The system muttered to itself, "The goal is very clear: to become the host's fiancée."
Nan Xunran gently shook his head and said slowly, "Young Master Wei, we have only just met. Past lives and present lives cannot be confused."
Wei Yan's expectant look vanished instantly, replaced by a disappointed "... Oh."
After a brief pause, she immediately followed up with, "Have you encountered any misfortune?"
Her gaze was full of inquiry; this was the conclusion she had reached after thinking all night: Nan Xunran must have experienced some kind of upheaval in his previous life, which caused his personality to change so drastically.
Upon hearing Nan Xunran nodded slightly and gave a soft "hmm".
Wei Yan paled instantly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "What?! Are you alright?"
Nan Xunran calm and said in a peaceful tone, "It's alright."
Wei Yan frowned and anxiously asked, "Have you recovered yet?"
Nan Xunran lowered her eyes slightly, gently shook her head, her expression calm. "Not yet."
Wei Yan's hands clenched unconsciously as she asked again, "Has your personality changed since the accident?"
Nan Xunran nodded slowly.
Wei Yan was now certain that Nan Xunran's personality had changed drastically in her previous life because of an accident.
But why is his personality so different now compared to his past life?
She paused briefly, then suddenly asked, "Have you lost your memory?"
Nan Xunran paused slightly, then smiled faintly and said, "This matter is not convenient to discuss with Young Master Wei."
Wei Yan bit her lower lip lightly and responded softly, "... Mmm."
She was now basically certain that he had likely regained some of his memories, and that the person from his past life wasn't the real him...
Hearing her thoughts, the system couldn't help but mutter, "She's quite clever now."
Wei Yan slightly raised his chin, his eyes resolute, and said, "I will definitely earn your approval!"
She thought to herself, "It's just chasing after him, what's so difficult about that? Didn't I spend most of my time following in his footsteps in my past life?"
And the Following Wind Cavalry —it's time to start building them.
The truth is clear; as long as I live, I will always be his support.
In the previous poll, more people voted for Wei Yan to live. (ง •̀_•́)ง
