Memory

His gaze was deep, his eyes gleaming with unwavering resolve.

Rather than an answer, this was more like Luo Ze's decision.

Teacher Li did not say much. Though they had not known each other long, she knew Luo Ze was a very independent child who acted with great restraint, making him reassuring.

He did have one flaw: once he made up his mind, he would never change it. In that regard, he was just like her.

"Alright. Take good care of Na'er for the next few days. Once she wakes up, I'll tutor the two of you separately." Teacher Li shook her head helplessly.

"Thank you, Teacher Li!" Luo Ze gave Teacher Li a deep bow.

"It's nothing. Take good care of your sister." Teacher Li waved her hand and left the hospital room.

"Brother Luo, if you need any help, call my communicator. I'll be there anytime!" After saying that, Tang Wulin followed Teacher Li out of the room.

Over the following days, aside from caring for Na'er, Luo Ze spent all his remaining time on his second specialty. Though it was only text and design blueprints, he still benefited greatly from them.

As for the most difficult core designs, aside from not having personally put them into practice, Luo Ze had already mastered nearly all of them.

Looking at Na'er lying beside the bed, Luo Ze unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand. "Na'er, I'll definitely design the most powerful Battle Armor in the world for you."

This promise was both a commitment as her brother and a resolution Luo Ze had made!

Night fell, and the bright moonlight cast its unwavering glow over the bed in the emergency room.

At that moment, a silver-haired girl slowly opened her violet eyes. Under the moonlight, her face looked cold and aloof, carrying an air that kept others at a thousand miles' distance.

Na'er slowly sat up, suddenly feeling a soreness in her arm. Following the sensation, she discovered a small bump made from books beside her bed. Beneath those books, Luo Ze was already fast asleep.

"Fool." Na'er smiled fondly and neatly placed the books and notes to one side.

Just then, a figure slowly approached from outside the room. A middle-aged man clad in dark golden armor suddenly appeared. His brows stood sharp, his presence imposing, as he released a soundproof barrier around himself.

Yet the moment he saw Na'er, the middle-aged man's gaze became respectful. He then carefully knelt before her. "My Lord."

"Xiong Jun, you're here." Na'er's gaze turned cold once more. She was not surprised by the middle-aged man's arrival.

"Yes. Following your previous instructions, once you recovered your memories, we were to begin carrying out the plan immediately," Xiong Jun said respectfully.

Na'er did not answer at once. Instead, she looked again at the sleeping boy beside the bed, warmth spilling into her eyes once more.

"At most, how much longer can I stay?" Na'er asked calmly.

"One month. No longer than that. Otherwise, the plans we have laid over so many years will all turn to ashes!" Xiong Jun replied solemnly.

Na'er's eyes flickered. As she looked at Luo Ze, the reluctance in her expression deepened. She had not expected her memories to return so suddenly, and so quickly...

"Alright. One month from now, we'll meet at the agreed location." Though reluctant, Na'er could not allow any mistakes in the plan she had arranged for so many years!

"Yes. Your subordinates will await your arrival!" With that, Xiong Jun tactfully withdrew.

He left the space to his lord and the boy sleeping soundly beside the bed.

After Xiong Jun left, Na'er slowly lay back down, turning her face toward Luo Ze as she gently stroked his cheek with lingering reluctance.

One month should be enough, right?

Na'er asked herself that, but in truth, she had long been unable to give herself an answer...

Early the next morning, Luo Ze stretched comfortably. From the time Na'er had fallen unconscious until now, he had never slept so comfortably.

He had just stood up to stretch his body when he saw Na'er lying on her side, looking at him tenderly.

"Morning, Brother," Na'er said softly, her eyes full of warmth.

"Na'er! You're finally awake!" Luo Ze was overjoyed. He excitedly hugged Na'er. "How do you feel? Is there anywhere you still feel uncomfortable? I'll go call a doctor to take a look!"

Luo Ze's slightly flustered appearance made Na'er want to laugh. Perhaps this was what humans meant by concern clouding judgment.

Still, being cared for by a man like this felt rather happy.

"My body has been fine for a while now. Sorry for making you worry, Brother." Na'er hugged Luo Ze back and happily leaned against his shoulder.

"That's not for you to decide. I'll have the hospital give you a full-body examination. We'll rest properly for a few more days and see how things go!"

Luo Ze stood up, giving Na'er no chance to object as he walked out of the room.

Na'er smiled helplessly at that. "What a fool."

Though she was scolding him, her eyes were brimming with happiness.

Soon, the hospital's chief healer arrived in Na'er's room and carefully examined her body once more using Soul Power.

"Rest assured, Luo Ze. Your sister's body is fine. She can be discharged," the lead chief healer said slowly.

"Thank you, Doctor Sun!" Luo Ze said gratefully.

Doctor Sun smiled and nodded, withdrawing her Soul Power before leaving the room.

"See? I was fine from the start. You awful brother, you simply don't believe me!" Na'er puffed out her cheeks, pretending to be upset.

"No, it's not that. I was just worried you might have some other hidden condition. It's not that I don't believe you, Na'er," Luo Ze hurriedly explained.

"I don't care, I don't care! You have to compensate me properly!" Na'er continued to act coquettishly.

"Alright, alright. Whatever you want, I'll agree to it as compensation." Luo Ze looked at Na'er indulgently.

Na'er gave a soft hum, looking at Luo Ze with a smug expression on her pretty face, like a little witch whose prank had succeeded.

"Then I'll punish you by making you treat me to something delicious. And for the next month, you must stay by my side every step of the way!" Na'er looked at Luo Ze domineeringly.

"Alright. I, Luo Ze, swear upon my Martial Soul that for the next month, I will stay by Na'er's side every step of the way. I will never make her angry, never let her encounter any danger, and never let her suffer any harm!"

"If I break this oath, may I die without a whole corpse!"

Having said that, Luo Ze was about to cut open his palm to complete the oath when Na'er hurriedly stopped him.

"What are you doing?! How can you make such a vicious oath? If you don't cherish your life, I do!" Na'er shouted angrily.

"I'm swearing an oath. This was the fastest way I could think of to show my determination!" Luo Ze looked at Na'er as if it were only natural.

He did not understand. What was there to be angry about?

"Idiot, you're hopeless!"
