Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!

At this moment, Long Xuanye appears harmless, with a slight smile on his lips.

His memories are filled with sweetness.

Xia Weibao imagines that scene; it seems like the kind of shot often depicted on television — indeed, quite sweet and romantic.

Unfortunately, she has no recollection of it.

He is completely immersed in his own memories, recounting everything from those days.

"Do you remember when I first arrived at the manor? I didn’t know anyone, and the other senior brothers and sisters bullied me, but you were the only one who treated me kindly.

There was a time when the eldest senior brother set the master’s study on fire but framed me, claiming I was the one who did it.

The master was furious and gave me twenty lashes, locking me in the woodshed, but you secretly brought buns for me to eat and found ways to help prove my innocence.

It was then that I swore I would marry you in the future..."

As Long Xuanye spoke of these past events, his face seemed to light up, his expression tender beyond words.

Such was his intoxication.

Xia Weibao watched him with a calm gaze; she truly had no recollection of it.

Suddenly she felt that Long Xuanye was performing a one-man show.

The past he spoke of was truly beautiful.

However, no matter how beautiful, it was still the past; she had already forgotten, while he was deeply entangled and couldn’t extricate himself.

He had even lost himself, unable to come back.

In fact, it was somewhat sad; clearly, it was the memory of two people, yet only he remembered.

And he remembered it for two thousand years.

For a bygone time, he walked alone along the river of time, searching for her in loneliness and confusion for two thousand years.

While she had long forgotten.

She even had a new lover, a new life.

Long Xuanye was completely immersed in his memories, talking about those moments of sweetness he reminisced about for two thousand years.

"When you were fourteen and had your coming-of-age ceremony, the master allowed you to leave the mountain, and you insisted on me taking you out to see the world.

That was our first time walking the Jianghu together; you were really happy back then, and seeing you happy made me happy.

You said you loved those carefree days the most.

We saw a wealthy family having a wedding in the street, and it was beautiful. Do you remember, junior sister, you were so excited that you grabbed my hand and said you wanted to marry me in the future, asking if our wedding would be that lively.

That was the first time you said you wanted to marry me, and I was really happy, happier than I’d ever been..."

Xia Weibao listened dumbfounded, feeling a bit of heartache.

Long Xuanye kept speaking, realizing she hadn’t responded, smiled, and asked, "Junior sister, am I talking too much?"

His emotions remained in the memories, his facial expression unchanged, the genuine smile like a boy next door.

Xia Weibao couldn’t help but think, was he smiling like this two thousand years ago too?

"No, I’m just surprised you remember so clearly after two thousand years."

"Of course, for the past two thousand years, I relive these memories daily. It’s this memory that has given me the strength to search for you for so long through lonely and endless time.

When I’m tired, I think of our past, think of you, and it gives me motivation."

At this moment, Long Xuanye was genuine, without defense or calculation.

Such honest words inexplicably tugged at Xia Weibao’s heart.

"Is it worth it? I’ve already forgotten about you."

"It doesn’t matter, I will remember, always remember."

Because, I can’t bear to forget.

In those short ten-plus years of memories, he reminisced for two thousand years.

To him, it was no longer just memories, but the motivation that supported his very existence!
