"Eh..." Xia Ye was stunned.
However, Lilian did have a blank expression on her face, as if she had never seen Xia Ye before.
She suddenly understood...
As a person who originally had no head, Xia Ye knew very well that the witch's memory is divided into two parts, one part is stored in the cup, and the other part is stored in the head.
And Lilian, or the original Lilian, now only has one cup left. The girl in front of her should be the backup body she created through some kind of contract, right?
After placing the cup into the backup body, Lillian can be "resurrected". However, the new Lilian only inherited the memory stored in the cup, and other memories disappeared forever with the original body...
In this case, can the "Lillian" in front of me really be considered Lilian?
For a moment, Xia Ye even hated herself for reacting so quickly, figuring out everything in just a few seconds. The cruel truth was like a knife that was inserted into her chest and twisted several times.
"Sister? What's your name? My name is Lillian. You look so sad. Are you feeling unwell? Is there anything Lillian can do for you..."
Looking at "Lillian" in front of her, Xia Ye finally couldn't bear it anymore, and her emotions poured out like a flood that broke a dam. She rushed forward, hugged the girl hard, and cried loudly like a scream, completely losing her usual calm look.
The girl trembled slightly, as if she was startled, but she did not push Xia Ye away. Instead, she hugged her gently and patted her back gently with her palms:
"Sister, if you want to cry, cry. It will make you feel better."
"Don't...oh...don't leave me...Lillian..."
"Lillian won't leave, Lilian is here."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"My sister must have encountered something very sad. It's okay. Lilian will always be with you."
…
The girl was obviously smaller than Xia Ye, but at this moment, she was like a gentle mother, constantly comforting her. After an unknown amount of time, Xia Ye's mood finally stabilized, and she sobbed intermittently for a while before reluctantly leaving "Lillian's" shoulder.
Waves of dull pain continued to come from his heart.
The girl looked at Xia Ye's crying face, took off the backpack on her back, opened it, took out two tissues, and handed them to her.
"Sister, wipe it."
"Oh...thank you..."
After Xia Ye wiped away her tears, the girl took out another cloak.
"This is the only thing in the bag, let's wrap it up first."
"Um……"
Like a small animal, Xia Ye nodded obediently, took the cloak, and wrapped it around her body.
"Sister, do you have a place to live? If you don't mind, you can come to my house, take a bath first, and I'll make something for you to eat."
Hearing these gentle words, Xia Ye raised her head and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of her. She couldn't help but want to cry again.
"Actually...I live in your home..." she said, holding back tears.
"Eh?"
"That starts a month ago..."
Xia Ye spoke softly and recounted the experiences between the two of them bit by bit starting from the first time they met Lilian. It was only then that she realized that she actually remembered so many details. They were obviously trivial matters in life. It was obvious that she only regarded Lilian's home as a place where she could live for free. However, every time I dragged my tired body and opened the door, I would hear the joyful voice of "You are back, Sister Xia Ye". Unknowingly, I had accepted it, liked it, and could no longer live without it. A warm feeling like home.
But I am a fool, and I have never paid attention to all of this... No, it is better to say that I am escaping subconsciously and unwilling to face it, because I can only turn my heart into cold steel, measure everything with interests, and let Become a complete egoist - only in this way, you will not have to experience the pain of losing an important person again, and you will not be hurt.
I have always thought that I have already become such a person.
But……
It wasn't until Lillian died that she suddenly discovered that her heart was not as cold as iron. It was indeed cold, but it was just a fragile piece of ice that would shatter into pieces if she dropped it hard.
"...You suddenly appeared in front of me and helped me block the fatal blow of the moth beast. It was so painful that tears flowed out, but you still tried your best to smile and said to me, 'You can believe me...', and then , your body exploded, and only the cup remained. Thanks to you, I killed the moth beast. Then, you appeared, took the cup from my hand, and put it into your body. I know you are Lilian, but …She is no longer the Lillian I used to know.”
The girl listened quietly to Xia Ye's story. It was not until the last sentence that she suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"Sister, actually..."
"Um?"
"That, that..." The girl's expression was a little strange, and she was a little...apologetic?
Just when Xia Ye felt strange, he suddenly saw a glimmer of light in the girl's blue eyes.
The light disappeared in a flash, and the girl was stunned for a moment. Xia Ye immediately noticed that some inexplicable change seemed to have occurred in Lilian.
"?"
When Lilian recovered from her sluggish state, the expression on her face suddenly became even more... strange. The girl's cheeks were red, a little excited and a little embarrassed. In addition, Xia Ye also saw the expression in her eyes once again, as if she had done something bad...
"Sister Xia, Xia Ye...that...I, I'm so happy..."
"Eh?" Xia Ye had a bad feeling in his heart.
"If I hadn't listened to your confession, I wouldn't have known that Sister Xia Ye valued me so much and would be so sad after losing me. Lilian is really touched..." The girl looked at Xia Ye with red eyes.
"Wait, wait a minute...what is going on..." The ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
"I'm sorry, I didn't have time to tell you before. In fact... the memory I save in my brain will not be lost. It will be uploaded to another... place all the time. After I change my body, this part of the memory will be It will be synchronized to the new body, but... there will be a delay of about twenty minutes, so during this period, I will be like a person who has lost his memory..."
"???"
The premonition became a reality, Xia Ye opened her mouth wide and looked at Lilian.
She was very happy, very, very happy, because Lillian - the real Lillian was standing in front of her unscathed.
But……
If Lillian was fine at all, then those words he just said in front of her, those words that were so disgusting that it made people dig their toes to the ground...
What the hell is this? ! !
The most disgusting thing is... Lilian is still snickering!
The girl was burying her head, wringing her fingers and making a silly smile:
"Hehe... I really didn't expect that Sister Xia Ye is such an emotional person... Because you are always busy with that, as if you have no time to pay attention to me... Sometimes Lilian can't help but think that she is really useless, For Sister Xia Ye, maybe she is just a dispensable existence... But I didn't expect... Sister Xia Ye looks at Lilian so much... Lilian is really happy... But, that, those words After listening to it...it's still a bit embarrassing...hehehe..."
"……forget."
"Eh?"
Lilian raised her head and found that Xia Ye was staring at her with an expression that looked like she was about to cry - not so sad that she was about to cry, but because she was so embarrassed and angry that she was about to cry.
"Since you can upload and download memories, you must be able to delete the memory just now, right?!"
"Eh, eh? Which memory is Sister Xia Ye talking about?" The girl blinked and asked without any evil intentions.
"W-which paragraph..." Xia Ye's face turned red before she could answer.
"Is it the part 'Lillian, please don't leave me'? Or the part 'Every time I come home and hear your voice, it makes me feel so happy'? Or..."
"Stop talking!!"
Xia Ye grabbed Lilian's shoulders and looked at her for a while, but was quickly defeated.
She lowered her head, released her hands, and slowly squatted on the ground. She shrank into a small ball and covered her face with her hands. Only one ear that had turned red was exposed among the pure white hair.
"I'm sorry...Sister Xia Ye, but Lilian's memory cannot be deleted at will..."
She heard Lillian say softly.
"And... for Lilian, that is also a very precious memory that she absolutely does not want to forget. If possible, Lilian wants to always remember what Sister Xia Ye just said..."
I just said I don’t have a knife ^_^
