A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother Chapter 183.5: A New Kind of Love Confession

Li Xuanxiao returned to Silver Sword Peak from the foot of the mountain—it was already the latter half of the night.

He had spent the evening chatting with Liu Ruyan about the past.

Back when he had just transmigrated, Li Xuanxiao dread of dominating the world, then marrying his childhood sweetheart, Liu Ruyan.

And retiring together from the martial world.

While eating the pancake Boss Ruyan gave him,

Li Xuanxiao swore to himself that one day he’d repay her a thousand tis over!

Mm! He’d give her a thousand, ten thousand pancakes in return.

Ti flew by like an arrow.

Little did Li Xuanxiao know that the life of happiness he once imagined was getting farther and farther away, while each day beca more and more nerve-wracking.

Sotis he’d wonder—if he t her again, what would it be like?

Would they laugh and let go of all the reckless things they did in their youth?

Li Xuanxiao walked upward step by step under the moonlight.

The moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting fragnted shadows, his fingertips resting on his wine gourd.

The wine gourd was already more than half empty, and for once, he didn’t try to dispel the intoxication.

To et again after traveling through countless mountains, rivers, and seas of people.

No matter how far apart, no matter how long it had been, no matter how much appearances had changed, the tacit understanding between them had never faded.

How wonderful—Liu Ruyan was still that sa Liu Ruyan.

Li Xuanxiao thought to himself that he would find an opportunity in the future

to secretly offer Liu Ruyan so guidance in cultivation.

Of course, he couldn’t skimp on resources either. He could purposely leave behind so heavenly materials and earthly treasures for her to “discover,” or let her “find” a storage ring or sothing like that...

With these thoughts, Li Xuanxiao returned to his straw hut on Silver Sword Peak.

Dispelling the effects of the wine, the first thing Li Xuanxiao did was pick up a pen and record the events of the day in his little notebook.

Then he put down the pen and started flipping through the notebook.

He turned all the way back to the beginning.

From the mont he was born into this world, he began reading carefully.

These were entries Li Xuanxiao had written long ago—records from his birth to each and every day up until now.

He had developed the habit of ticulously recording everything.

By now, it had beco a routine. Every now and then, looking back at those words brought back many mories.

More importantly, it was a safeguard—just in case he ever lost his mory, or soone tampered with it.

Like in those fantasy costu dramas,

where soone gets brainwashed and starts treating the enemy as their father.

And in the end, causes a huge disaster and can only redeem themselves through death.

What a tragedy~

Or the protagonist gets amnesia, forgets everything—including the person they loved most.

And then a 36-episode tragic romance begins.

Liu Ruyan... Liu Ruyan...

The more he read, the worse Li Xuanxiao’s expression beca.

Sothing was wrong!!

Why wasn’t there any ntion of Liu Ruyan in his diary?

Li Xuanxiao read through it again carefully.

No mistake—there was no ntion of Liu Ruyan in the diary.

Not even the slightest detail about her.

Li Xuanxiao’s expression changed drastically.

In that mont, all the joy in his heart from reuniting with an old friend, from seeing the girl he once secretly loved, vanished completely.

His heart began blaring warning signals.

Li Xuanxiao closed the diary.

His first thought—soone had tampered with his diary.

Then a second thought—soone had altered his mory and fabricated the existence of Liu Ruyan.

Hiss~

Was there really such a miraculous spell in this world?

Or was he overthinking it?

Li Xuanxiao resealed the diary and opened a second, backup diary from a different hidden lock.

Hmm, the backup diary also contained no information about Liu Ruyan.

Li Xuanxiao’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Even the backup diary might have been tampered with.

He left the hut, walked forty steps forward, then twenty steps to the right.

From underground, he retrieved the backup of the backup diary.

That one also had no record of Liu Ruyan.

Li Xuanxiao locked up the diary again and headed alone to the back of Silver Sword Peak.

There, he retrieved the backup of the backup of the backup diary.

Still no ntion of Liu Ruyan.

Li Xuanxiao went to the next location.

To get the backup of the backup of the backup of the backup diary...

Two hours later.

Li Xuanxiao returned to the straw hut, gripped his sword tightly, and his expression was solemn.

Alright. His diaries hadn’t been altered.

But there was a person in his mind who didn’t exist.

Scene after scene played in Li Xuanxiao’s mind—all those monts with Liu Ruyan.

No one would suspect that his mories were false.

Liu Ruyan... what a terrifying divine power!!! He nearly fell for it.

Luckily, he had a trump card.

No! This wasn’t just any old demonic spirit or evil being.

This was a demonic force that could alter mories, impossible to guard against.

It had to be dealt with seriously!!

Afraid his mories might be altered again, Li Xuanxiao left a ssage inside his Dantian for himself.

The gist was—an enemy in the shadows could modify his mories, so he mustn’t trust them.

That person might even be soone familiar from his own mories.

When the ti ca, the mory would automatically be triggered.

Only then did Li Xuanxiao swiftly descend the mountain.

“...........”

“Sigh...”

Liu Ruyan let out a long, slow sigh, as if trying to breathe out all the frustrations in her heart.

She looked out the window at the bright full moon hanging in the night sky.

The moonlight poured over her like water, adding a hint of coldness and loneliness to her presence.

She propped up her chin with one hand.

As the emotions carried by the mories planted in Li Xuanxiao’s mind grew deeper,

they surged back like a tide, crashing into the once-calm spiritual sea within Liu Ruyan.

Recalling the ti spent talking with Li Xuanxiao, Liu Ruyan couldn’t help but feel moved.

Every exchange, every shared look, every heartfelt word—

through those implanted mories, she truly felt the intense and sincere emotions deep in his heart.

That deep emotional experience made Liu Ruyan involuntarily fall into it, unable to extricate herself.

“This feeling is painful... yet addictive... it’s really sothing~”

Liu Ruyan murmured.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the moonlight.

Liu Ruyan squinted slightly.

And fell into those false mories again.

A young Li Xuanxiao sat on the rooftop: “Soday, I’ll walk on moonlight to marry you!”

When I rule the world, I’ll make the four seas your ho.

When I return from a life of war, I’ll grow old with you.

When I gain fa and fortune, I’ll et you beneath the moon and flowers.

Liu Ruyan smacked him: “You little brat want to marry your big bro!!”

“.......”

Snapping out of her mories, Liu Ruyan saw clearly who that figure was.

Li Xuanxiao had arrived.

Liu Ruyan stirred slightly, and instinctively stood up.

Li Xuanxiao spoke.

Liu Ruyan couldn’t help pressing her lips together.

“Xuanxiao Flying Kick!!”

Liu Ruyan: (O_o)??

Was that... so new kind of love confession?
