Chapter 3512 — Scattered Memories
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
The Five Malevolences Dragon was highly intelligent and loved to toy with people, so Wei Zhao was not certain whether it had sensed their arrival. If it was not coming out now, was it planning to play with them all a little later?
Tianchan, too, followed close behind Wei Zhao and climbed up onto the platform where the cave was. The other inheritors trailed after her, climbing onto the high platform one by one. Because most of these people were those closest to Wei Zhao, he did not go straight to luring out the Five Malevolences Dragon, but instead planned to wait until all of them were up and settled before drawing the dragon out.
Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Feng Xiaoxiao all made it up. Then it was Tang Zhi's turn. When Tang Zhi saw Wei Zhao, she could not acknowledge him, and her heart was thrown into turmoil. As a result, while climbing onto the high platform, her foot slipped and she nearly tumbled down.
Although she was a heaven-tier expert and a fall would not have hurt her, she was still badly startled and let out a cry: "Ah—"
Wei Zhao was watching the inheritors climb onto the high platform when he saw Tang Zhi fall. By reflex he reached out to grab her, catching Tang Zhi directly and keeping her from sliding down.
It had been an unconscious, reflexive act, but when Tang Zhi's soft hand was caught in his, Wei Zhao's heart suddenly pounded. It seemed there was a familiar, stirring feeling to it. Sensing the coolness of her palm, Wei Zhao's heart gave a slight stir—these hands were as though he had once held them in a previous life, and now that he held them, he did not want to let go...
Holding her hand, Wei Zhao stared blankly at Tang Zhi. Her face flushed crimson. Her small hand was caught in Wei Zhao's grasp; she could not pull it free, and she did not want to pull it free. In that moment, Tang Zhi wished time would stop and freeze right here.
She wished the whole world held only the two of them, her and Wei Zhao, and no one else. But she knew it was only a fantasy, unrealistic! She had not yet broken through to consummate mastery; she could not yet acknowledge Wei Zhao. Endure it a little longer—perhaps... it would be very soon!
"Ahem!" Xue Li, behind Tang Zhi, could not help but cough twice. She did not want Tang Zhi to have any trouble at this critical moment.
Tang Zhi snapped back to her senses and reflexively tried to pull her hand out of Wei Zhao's. But as she pulled hard, the ring on her hand scraped across Wei Zhao's palm.
Wei Zhao reflexively loosened his grip, and then he saw the ring on Tang Zhi's ring finger, which made him pause slightly. Ordinarily, a woman wore a ring on her ring finger only after getting engaged or married. Yet Tang Zhi, an inheritor, was actually wearing a ring—this left Wei Zhao somewhat puzzled.
But when the appearance of that ring came into Wei Zhao's view, his head seemed to explode with a boom, as though something had crashed into his mind, and countless fragments of memory suddenly surged into Wei Zhao's head in that instant!
Those scattered fragments of memory filled Wei Zhao's mind in an instant—the barbecue stall on the snack street, the girl beneath the shade of the trees that afternoon, the tolerance of the girlfriend who had accompanied him back to his hometown...
Wei Zhao suddenly seized Tang Zhi's hand again. Those scattered memories gradually came together into a complete recollection, growing clearer and clearer in his mind. Those fragments of beautiful memory pieced together into a full and happy history of love.
Wei Zhao did not know why these memories had appeared in his mind—memories that seemed not to belong to him, and yet seemed to be experiences he had lived through himself! RS
