"Suppose I told you I'd lost my memory. Would you believe me?"
Chen Xi blinked and met the three of their gazes.
"What do you think?" Lin Yue raised an eyebrow.
Gu Yu, standing beside her, eagerly leaned in toward Chen Xi.
"Boss, so you really are Death? You kept that from me all this time!"

Lin Yue's tone was cool. "You can't fake strength."
Unlike the other two, who were mostly teasing her, Gabriel in the distance was more concerned with Chen Xi's claim that she'd lost her memory.
