“Dimo Dimo! (Partner, when will she wake up?)”
At this moment, Dimo came to Chu Chen’s side,
and asked a question.
“Maybe, perhaps, possibly… ”
“She should wake up soon, right?”
Chu Chen shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
“Dimo Dimo. (Well then, I’ll go play for a bit. Wake me up when she wakes.)”
Dimo glanced at the still motionless San Yue Qi, turned around without hesitation, and left.
It preferred to wander around than to wait here idly.
It was a sprite, its aesthetic sense differed from humans.
In its eyes, San Yue Qi was just an ordinary human girl, nothing special.
Therefore, it wasn’t very interested in San Yue Qi.
“Alright, don’t wander too far. Be careful.”
Chu Chen reminded Dimo,
watching it disappear from sight.
Then, he turned his attention back to San Yue Qi,
and began to quietly guard her side.
Waiting for her to wake up.
Time slowly flowed by,
an hour later,
under Chu Chen’s gaze,
San Yue Qi finally slowly opened her bright, dazzling eyes.
“Where… is this?”
“Who… are you?”
“And who… am I?”
After waking up, San Yue Qi looked at Chu Chen who was guarding her, then at her surroundings,
and couldn’t help but ask these three soul-searching questions.
“First, the first question!”
“Where is this?”
“Unfortunately, I don’t know either.”
“Second question.”
“Who am I?”
“My name is Chu Chen. I am a magician, and just now, along with my partner, we saved you.”
“Third question.”
“Sorry, I don’t know who you are either. My partner and I found you inside a block of ice.”
Chu Chen answered San Yue Qi’s three questions patiently, his tone gentle.
“You’re my savior?”
“I was trapped in a block of ice?”
San Yue Qi looked at Chu Chen, her expression somewhat dazed.
“Look, this is how you looked trapped in the ice.”
Chu Chen waved his right hand slightly,
and a mirror, clear as a pool of water, appeared before San Yue Qi.
Inside, San Yue Qi’s previous form trapped in the Six-Phase Ice was displayed.
This method of recording images was a shadow magic Chu Chen learned when he first became a magician,
and he had never used it before.
Now, it came in handy.
“So this is how I looked trapped in the ice?”
“But, why is it like this?”
“Who trapped me inside?”
“Who am I anyway?”
Gazing at the image of herself trapped in the ice,
San Yue Qi felt a little helpless.
Her mind was completely blank, unable to recall any memories of herself.
This made her very confused and a bit scared.
She couldn’t help but curl up,
like a frightened kitten.
In short, she felt very insecure.
“Don’t be afraid.”
“Who you are doesn’t matter.”
“What matters is that you are now safe and sound here.”
“The past is past. Your future, now, is just beginning, isn’t it?”
“Try to move forward from now on. Maybe you can regain your memories?”
Chu Chen came to San Yue Qi’s side, gently patted her shoulder, and comforted her with a few words.
“The future… is just beginning…”
“Try… to move forward?”
“.....”
“Thank you!”
Chu Chen’s sunny smile and gentle words seemed to infect San Yue Qi,
calming her restless heart.
.....
Chu Chen chatted with San Yue Qi for a long time, showing a level of care and patience he had never shown in his previous life, guiding San Yue Qi bit by bit.
Under Chu Chen’s careful guidance and encouragement,
San Yue Qi slowly emerged from the shadow of amnesia and regained her hope for life.
“Thank you, Chu Chen. Thank you for saving me and being so patient in comforting me.”
“You’re truly a good person.”
San Yue Qi’s bright eyes looked at Chu Chen, filled with deep gratitude.
“Uh… does this count as getting a ‘Good Person’ card?”
“Hmm, probably not, right?”
Hearing San Yue Qi call him a good person, Chu Chen couldn’t help but mutter in his heart before replying modestly, “It’s nothing. It was just a little help.”
“You said I’ll definitely be able to regain my lost memories.”
“But I don’t even remember my own name.”
San Yue Qi looked at Chu Chen, her eyes, which had just regained some luster, began to dim again.
“San Yue Qi!”
“Let’s call you San Yue Qi!”
“How about that?”
Seeing the girl begin to feel sad again,
Chu Chen finally couldn’t help but blurt out the name he had been thinking about for a long time.
Knowing what the other person’s name was but not being able to say it beforehand,
it was like knowing you have diarrhea but not knowing when it will erupt.
It was so uncomfortable!
So Chu Chen took this opportunity to say it directly.
“San… Yue Qi?”
San Yue Qi blinked her big eyes at Chu Chen, a little confused.
“Hehe, I just did some divination and found out that today is the seventh of March.”
“Using the day of your rebirth as your name, I think it’s quite suitable.”
“What do you think?”
Chu Chen made up a random excuse, looking at San Yue Qi expectantly.
“San Yue Qi…”
“The day I was reborn?”
“....”
“Okay!”
“From now on, my name is San Yue Qi!”
“Chu Chen, please take care of me from now on!”
Without much hesitation, San Yue Qi looked at Chu Chen’s expectant gaze,
and quickly accepted this new name.
And she had a feeling,
as if she were meant to be called San Yue Qi.
This feeling was inexplicable, but she believed it deeply.
“No problem, Miss San Yue Qi!”
Seeing San Yue Qi suddenly extend her hand, Chu Chen was taken aback for a moment before smiling and shaking her hand.
The girl’s hand was soft, smooth, and cold.
Chu Chen and San Yue Qi locked eyes,
a strange feeling began to take root in each other’s hearts.
“Dimo! Dimo! (Partner, I’m back! Look at what I brought for you!)”
At this moment, Dimo’s voice came from afar,
drawing Chu Chen and San Yue Qi’s attention.
“Wow!”
“Such a cute little thing!”
“What kind of creature is this?!”
“Is it your pet, Chu Chen?”
“Can I touch it?”
When San Yue Qi saw Dimo,
she was instantly excited.
Completely getting rid of her previous depressed state!
Dimo was simply too cute, so cute it made her heart melt.
“Uh…”
“So Dimo has such a powerful effect on girls?”
“Hmm…”
“Does this count as discovering another use for Dimo?”
Seeing the way San Yue Qi looked at Dimo, her eyes practically sparkling with stars,
Chu Chen was a bit slow on the uptake.
A strange thought arose in his mind.
Could he use Dimo as a wingman…?
“Ahem.”
“Dimo isn’t my pet.”
“It’s my partner.”
“Yeah, like family.”
Dismissing the strange thought that had popped up in his mind,
Chu Chen explained to San Yue Qi with a serious expression.
“Like family?”
“Chu Chen, I’m sorry. I said something wrong.”
Hearing that Dimo was Chu Chen’s partner,
San Yue Qi immediately apologized to Chu Chen.
“It’s okay. I didn’t explain it clearly to you. Don’t worry about it.” Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that San Yue Qi didn’t need to worry about it.
“Dimo! (Partner, I’m back.)”
“Dimo? (Eh, you’re awake?)”
“Dimo Dimo! (Hi, I’m Dimo. Nice to meet you!)”
Dimo came to the two of them. Upon seeing that San Yue Qi was awake,
it greeted her friendly.
“Dimo?”
“Is your name Dimo?”
“What a nice name!”
“Hi Dimo, my name is San Yue Qi. Thank you for rescuing me from the ice earlier.”
Seeing Dimo greet her,
San Yue Qi was very happy and quickly replied.
“Dimo! (You’re welcome. It was my pleasure!)”
“Dimo Dimo! (Partner, I brought something back for you!)”
After greeting San Yue Qi, Dimo
took out a bag woven from light behind it.
Then, it dissipated the light bag,
and the contents inside tumbled out with a clatter.
