He was now in a clear dilemma
This Countess had become overexcited In fact, Chen Xiaolian could clearly feel that this young wo control of her ee of an e like an e that would never happen to the Countess However, today was a special day, and this moment was a special moment
Before the break of dawn, she had come to this cemetery to bid farewell to a special person Due to that, she was already feeling very sad
Then, there were the stressfularound her
Finally, she suddenly saw Chen Xiaolian
That was the straw that broke the camel’s back for her At present, the Countess had lost control of her eer, fear, sadness, terror and various other emotions that she had held in check within her now erupted out from her!
As he looked into the Countess’ eyes, Chen Xiaolian hesitated
Should I tell her… or not?
It was as though Miao Yan’s warning was ringing in his ears: Stay as far away as possible from my Exclusive Account!
At this moment, however, Chen Xiaolian could actually feel the pain that the Countess was feeling!
Just because …
We are NPCs?
And so……
All we can do is be slaves to the control of the Upper Plane?
Although he appeared to have more freedom compared to this Countess…
But… how much better of a state was he in?
Did he not still end up being tossed into instance dungeons again and again? Did he not have to struggle just to survive?
As for her… … she was in an even more pitiful state She could not even live the life of an ordinary person
She was just a puppet, a puppet
A… a body meant for Miao Yan to enter into
Because…
They were all NPCs!
…
“Calm down”
Chen Xiaolian clenched his teeth and extended his hand to help support the Countess
The Countess’ fingers gripped onto his wrist, refusing to let go However, thanks to Chen Xiaolian’s help, she was finally able to stand firm
“If you are so emotional, I won’t be able to talk with you,” said Chen Xiaolian as he shook his head
The Countess’s eyelids were raised Those eyes that were exactly the saer – that expression was so that Miao Yan would never have
“Can you talk to me? What can you tella very weak side of her and Chen Xiaolian was also affected by those e of empathy as a fellow NPC who had no control over their own destiny
However, Chen Xiaolian was neither a fool nor an idiot
He would not blurt out everything just because he was feeling emotional
Besides his friendship with Miao Yan and the fact that he had an agreement with her…
There was a more ih this Countess appeared weak and helpless…
She was by no means such a o with her, this Countess was not a simple person
Sy ould need to depend on the mercy of others
The Countess looked at Chen Xiaolian and exhaled, “We have hed and slowly nodded his head
Considering the fact that she had a sketch of his face, there was no need to deny that fact It was so that he could not deny anyways
“So, we really did meet before… … when did that happen?” The Countess stared into Chen Xiaolian’s eyes and suddenly burst out in a whisper, “It ht! It must only be recently! The pencilthat happened not long ago”
It appeared that she was finally getting cal; she quickly deduced matters on her own “Also… … this is not the first ti from a loss of memory Yet, I chose to draw a portrait of you That means… you are extremely important to me! More accurately, the incident that reat importance to me Thus, I had drawn out your portrait to rehed and stared at Chen Xiaolian Then, she slowly spoke out, word by word, “In the end… … what happened between the two of us?”
Chen Xiaolian had a calm look on his face and he remained silent
The Countess continued to stare at Chen Xiaolian Then, her face suddenly changed and she said, “Could it be… … the two of us… …”
A slightly contorted expression appeared on her face
Chen Xiaolian was quick to understand what she meant He quickly shook his head and replied, “No, it’s not like that”
“There is soh Chen Xiaolian’s emotions and she slowly continued, “Clearly, you know of so to tellthat troubles you, causing you to beco that, the Countess’ eyes suddenly lit up!
“Just nohen you met me, you said… you cao out, so you followed me… …! If so, why did you come to visit me?”

He had been too hasty in et that I caave a wry smile
“What do you think?” The Countess sneered
“Truth be told… …” Chen Xiaolian hesitated for a“Even if I did tell you It is useless… later on, you will still forget about them all”
“You mean… my memories will still be lost?” said the Countess, her eyes flickering
Chen Xiaolian sighed to himself
He recalled the conversation he had with Miao Yan
Even if I do tell you… you will still forget
So… what’s the point?
“But still, I wish to know!” The Countess bit heavily on her lips She abruptly yelled with all her ht “Even if I know that I will loseit, I still want to know! It holds a ! Even if it is only a moment! At least, in thatin that! For the current me in my memories, that me whose heart is filled with pain and confusion would have found the answer!”
She took a deep breath Despite her tre body, she forcefully seized Chen Xiaolian’s wrist and said, “Please, please tellat the Countess, Chen Xiaolian was suddenly reht when he faced Miao Yan!
“Are you willing to hed

Chen Xiaolian frowned and he looked at the Countess He asked, “Do you have that much determination?”
The Countess’ body trerip on Chen Xiaolian’s arrave
