"Ma Han..."
Xu Xiao turned her head to look at the young man beside her, her eyes full of confusion.
"When did Lu Li and I... get married?"
"And what time is it now?"
"Where is this? Is this still Earth?"
"Why don't I remember any of it...?"
Ma Han looked at Xu Xiao, an incredulous expression of shock gradually appearing on his face.
But when Xu Xiao furrowed her brow, clearly beginning to worry, he suddenly dropped his serious demeanor, grinned broadly, and laughed like a delighted monkey.
"Of course you don't remember, Class Monitor! Haha..."
"Ever since you overused the power of Authority during that great battle, you've forgotten many things from the past."
"But don't worry. Even if you forget yourself, friends like us will help you find yourself again."
"This is still Earth, of course, but Earth three years after that battle of ascension."
"If you hadn't forcibly invoked the power of Authority back then to fight Desecration and Darkness and purge all the demonic energy, we'd probably have become demons by now..."
"As for when you married Brother Li, hehe, Brother Li is here. Ask him yourself."
After saying that with a smile, Ma Han tactfully stepped aside and made room for the young man approaching them.
He himself quickly headed toward the barbecue grill beneath the tree, happily urging as he went, "Fatty, is the meat done yet? Your Brother Ma is starving!"
"Almost, almost, quit rushing me... Hey, that one's for the Class Monitor—it's still fucking raw!" Wang Chao's voice followed close behind.
Though he sounded foul-mouthed, his voice gave Xu Xiao an immense sense of reassurance.
Perhaps, it was not Wang Chao who made her feel at ease?
It was because Lu Li stood before her, facing her directly, his smile warm.
