Although she doesn't completely trust Ruan Mei is the only person she can rely on right now, and the only person by her side. She wants to stay by Ruan Mei's side.

Compared to the unfamiliar environment, she felt safer with Ruan Mei by her side.

107

Chapter 107 I'll do anything you ask.

An instrument I don't understand or recognize.

The walls exude a cold, icy feel.

The near-closed laboratory amplified Kiana's inner fears as she woke up, having forgotten everything.

She followed behind Ruan Mei uneasily.

Where are we going?

The silence in this environment made her feel even more insecure. Despite her fear of the unfamiliar surroundings, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the woman.

Regardless.

Ruan Mei is the only person she can trust now.

"Another laboratory."

Fortunately, Ruan Mei wasn't aloof and didn't pretend not to hear or ignore her question.

"Another lab? Are there many labs here?"

Kiana subconsciously moved closer to Ruan Mei, perhaps feeling uneasy subconsciously, as she sensed the corridor was somewhat cold.

"This is where I do my research; there are many different types of labs here."

Ruan Mei's voice didn't have much variation, but she was answering her questions properly.

This place is very big.

Kiana made this judgment.

Following Ruan Mei, we took the elevator to another place, which was just like the laboratory we had just been in.

"Arrive."

After the door closed, Ruan Mei turned her gaze to Kiana looked somewhat nervous, and said, "Don't be so nervous. Just follow my instructions. It'll be quick."

"Okay, okay."

Completely unaware of what was about to happen, Kiana nodded reluctantly.

She did whatever Ruan Mei told her to do.

Although she didn't know the time, Kiana was certain it wasn't fast at all.

Even as she felt exhausted, Ruan Mei did not stop thinking or recording data.

She seemed to be having some trouble.

Kiana felt tired and rubbed her eyes, her eyelids drooping uncontrollably.

"You can rest on the sofa next to you."

Ruan Mei noticed her movement and saw her head nodding slightly as she forced herself to stay in a daze. She took the initiative to remind her.

Can I rest?

Kiana perked up and, following Ruan Mei's suggestion, looked over and saw a place to rest on the side.

"Then what will you do?"

I want to go to sleep, but if I go to sleep, what will happen to her? She doesn't seem to need rest, but if I fall asleep, I won't be able to continue cooperating with her.

Kiana hesitated.

"I'll wake you up when I need you."

Ruan Mei didn't even look up, her expression quite serious as she stared at the data in front of her.

"Then I'll go take a nap."

Kiana yawned and walked towards the corner.

With some time and conversation to allow her to adjust, she managed to adapt to the environment. Although she still felt uneasy, it wasn't as severe as before.

Ruan Mei did indeed consider her opinions, which temporarily made her lower all her guard and develop some trust in Ruan Mei.

Take a nap and rest for a while.

Maybe I'll remember something in my dream?

With this expectation, Kiana lay down on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep, resting for an unknown period of time.

When I woke up again.

Ruan Mei was sitting directly opposite her.

"Woke up?"

Ruan Mei's expression had returned to calm; her previous seriousness had vanished.

Seeing Kiana had just woken up and looked just as bewildered as before, she reached out and offered the pastries she was holding to Kiana.

"Is this for me?"

The person before me is Ruan Mei, the benefactor who helped me escape that darkness and regain my senses.

Kiana still remembers what happened before she went to sleep.

She carefully took the things Ruan Mei handed her; the faint scent of plum blossoms and the unique sweetness of the pastries whetted her appetite.

I really want to take a bite!

Having not eaten for a long time, the unique aroma of the pastries made her mouth water.

"Yes, try it."

Ruan Mei picked up another piece herself and said, "I asked the food delivery robot to prepare this specially."

"Thanks!"

Kiana's tone became lighter, and the way she looked at Ruan Mei changed the moment the pastry entered her mouth.

She's definitely a good person!

The sweet aroma captivated Kiana, completely dispelling her already low level of vigilance.

Tasty!

Kiana seemed to have come back to life, and the expressions on her face became more vivid.

"So delicious!"

Ruan Mei nodded, looking at her bright little face, and said, "It seems you really like this reward."

Kiana paused slightly, slowing down her eating. "A reward?"

"To match my reward."

"You're very obedient; you're a good child."

Is this a compliment?

That was something she had promised Ruan Mei, and she hadn't done anything wrong. Kiana felt a little embarrassed, but mostly overjoyed.

She enjoys being praised.

"Also, I'd like to talk to you again about your situation."

"What's wrong?"

Ruan Mei gazed at the unusual girl and said, "I underestimated the power within you. It will take me a long time to figure it out."

Kiana looked at Ruan Mei with a somewhat blank expression.

Will it take a very long time?

So what?

"I hope you'll stay and cooperate with me until I satisfy my curiosity."

I will give you sufficient compensation.

"Tell me what you need, and I'll try my best to meet your requirements."

Stay?

Kiana was stunned for a long time.

She didn't even know where she came from; if she left this place, she could go somewhere else.

The unease she felt when she was in an unfamiliar environment returned to her once again.

She had to start thinking.

Where can I go if I leave here?

She remembers nothing.

If Ruan Mei doesn't need her, then where should she go?

The thought of being all alone filled Kiana with resistance and fear.

Compared to the unknown, she preferred to stay in this place; at least she had now gotten to know Ruan Mei in front of her.

She's an easy person to get along with.

"... Is this important to you?"

Ruan Mei thought for a moment and nodded, "Important."

She was interested.

Kiana remained silent.

She wasn't hesitant to agree to Ruan Mei's request; on the contrary, she would.

Because she seemed to have nowhere to go.

"Can my Remembrance be restored?"

Ruan Mei frowned and thought for a moment before replying, "Perhaps it's possible, but it's difficult."

The power of nothingness is troublesome.

Kiana is not simply affected by the void; she also possesses another power that she has never seen before.

Nervously fidgeting with her fingers, Kiana mustered her courage and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you want, but... I want to stay."

Stay?

Ruan Mei frowned.

This request was somewhat unexpected.

She doesn't like being disturbed, nor is she used to having someone around her.

She can accept it now because she sees Kiana as an experimental subject, but what about once she loses interest in it?

"We can make a deal. You can make me do anything you want, even things that are a little outrageous, as long as you let me stay!"

Kiana became anxious when she saw that Kiana wanted to refuse.

Ruan Mei asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"... I can't remember anything, and I have nowhere to go."

Ruan Mei seemed to understand what she meant. "You want me to take you in temporarily?"

"May I?"

"Can."

Once she has solved most of the mysteries surrounding Kiana's amnesia will no longer be a problem.

This coincided with her thoughts.
