As Li Wei trailed behind Mei, he couldn't help but notice the gracefulness of her movements.
The simple cotton dress she wore hugged her figure in all the right places, accentuating her curves.
He found himself entranced by the way the fabric flowed around her with every step she took, creating a mesmerizing dance-like effect.
Li Wei shook his head, scolding himself for letting his mind wander again.
'Focus, Li Wei! After you become a top cultivator, you can have many beauties like her!'
Mei led him through a maze of hallways and courtyards, all while maintaining her calm and collected demeanor.
Li Wei couldn't help but admire her composure and efficiency, especially in the dark and unfamiliar surroundings.
Finally, they arrived at a small room.
Mei remained silent, as she opened the door.
Li Wei stepped inside and was surprised by the spaciousness of the room.
The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries and ornate decorations, giving the space a luxurious feel.
The room had a comfortable-looking bed, a writing desk, and a small sitting area.
"It's nice," he said, turning to Mei, who kept her head down.
'What's wrong with her?' he thought to himself feeling perplexed by her behavior.
Suddenly, Mei closed the door behind her, and silently approached him with her head down still.
"Wh-" before he could utter a single word, Mei pounced upon him, hugging him tightly.
She held him close as she sniffed his clothes and inhaled his smell.
"I missed you, husband!" she said, which surprised Li Wei.
'Husband?!!'
She looked up at him, still hugging him. Li Wei was stunned by her beauty at that moment. He saw how her black eyes were watery and her small face was flushed pink.
There was a bit of concern evident on her face.
"Why did Young miss say she'll go ask for the medical master? Are you hurt anywhere?" she asked before proceeding to check his body for any injuries.
"W-Wait!" Li Wei was flustered as he had never had this close contact with any woman in his life.
Mei looked up at Li Wei, her eyes wide with surprise.
"Is there something wrong?" she asked in her soft and gentle voice.
Li Wei's mind went into overdrive. The fact that she had called him husband meant that the previous owner of this body was related to her.
He wondered what this guy had done to make Mei head over heels for him.
He took a deep breath and nervously said.
"T-The thing is... I got hit in the head and lost my memories..."
Mei's face suddenly wilted like a bright flower that had been deprived of water.
Li Wei felt guilty even though he didn't know what he had done wrong.
Suddenly, tears started gushing out of Mei's eyes, her face flushing even pinker, but this time in sadness.
"S-So you even forgot about me?" she asked, hoping for a different answer.
Li Wei hesitantly nodded since he truly didn't know anything about her.
'Dammit, System! You should have given me my memories!'
He cursed internally as he looked at Mei, who sobbed even harder at his answer.
Li Wei didn't know how to console a girl, so he thought hard and felt that patting her shoulders seemed like the best option.
Just as he was about to do that, he froze at the words that came out of Mei's mouth.
"*sniff* How could you forget me? I-I even stole Young Miss' Dodou for you!"
Li Wei's eyes twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the girl crying before him. He suddenly felt an urge to make her amnesiac too.
'Oh my god, this isn't a waifu! It's a ticking time bomb!' he thought to himself.
"W-What do you mean?" he asked, his voice shaking.
Mei looked up at Li Wei, tears still streaming down her face.
"You told me you would marry me after I brought you Young Miss' Dodou," she said, sniffling.
Li Wei's mind was racing.
'What in the Wattpad is this?'
Mei's face turned bright red, and she avoided his gaze.
"W-We even cooked the rice," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Li Wei's mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He looked at Mei with a mix of shock and confusion.
"What do you mean we cooked the rice?" he asked, hoping that he had misinterpreted her words.
Mei's face turned a bright shade of red, and she avoided his gaze.
"I mean, we...you know..." Mei trailed off, her face turning even redder.
Li Wei looked at Mei in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Li Feng's Rizz was so strong that he was able to convince a girl to steal another girl's underwear for him and then sleep with her.
"Um..." he started, not knowing what to say.
He couldn't marry her, that was for sure.
He wasn't the one who did the deed with her, and he didn't want to be tied down to a single woman.
When he became a powerful cultivator, he hoped to have a harem of beautiful women at his beck and call.
Mei was cute, there was no denying that, but he didn't want to take responsibility for something his previous self did.
He had no emotional connection with her and couldn't imagine being with her long-term.
"L-Let's talk about this when I get my memories back..." Li Wei trailed off, although deep down he knew it was unlikely he would ever regain them.
The medical master may have been able to cure physical ailments, but he doubted he could cure a nonexistent amnesia.
If he wanted to be cured, someone would need to bring back Li Feng's soul from wherever it was and put it back in his body. But that was impossible.
Mei's face slowly regained its color, her sobs dying down into small sniffles.
"Y-You promise?" she asked, looking up at Li Wei with hopeful eyes.
Li Wei couldn't help but let out a small sigh at her innocent question.
He forced a smile and nodded at her.
"Yes, I promise," he said softly, hoping that he could bring some comfort to her troubled heart.
