"If you're free, I'll take you to see Mingwu Daoist and see if he has any way to help you regain your memories," Chi Xin said.
Chu Yang looked puzzled, "Mingwu Daoist?"
Chi Yan knew of this, "Mingwu Daoist is the Daoist priest of Wenjue Temple, a great master."
Chu Yang nodded, "Okay. Sure." No matter what, she still wanted to regain her memories. After all, she needed to know why she had lost her Witchcraft abilities.
Afterwards, the three of them arranged a time, and then Chi Yan and Chu Yang left.
After leaving Chi Xin's place, Chi Yan asked, "Where are you going, Yang Yang?" He stopped as soon as he said it, wondering why he had called her Yang Yang so naturally. Then he remembered that they used to be boyfriend and girlfriend, so what's wrong with calling her Yang Yang? People usually call their loved ones pet names like 'honey' or 'baby.'
Chu Yang also gave him a strange look, "I want to go to your place to gather my things." She wanted to move all her belongings back to her dorm room.
Chi Yan's heart sank, "Don't take them yet. What if you regain your memories? We agreed to go see Mingwu Daoist, didn't we? Mingwu Daoist will definitely have a solution." He absolutely couldn't let her take her things away, or else he would have no excuse to see her in the future. "Besides, there are too many things, you can't take them all at once. Take it slow, no rush."
Chu Yang thought about it and agreed. After all, her things had been there for so long, there was no hurry. Plus, she had class soon, so she should head back to school first.
"Alright, I'll go back to school first."
Chi Yan hurried after her, "I'll walk you."
...
Over the next two days, Chi Yan checked in on her every day, either taking her out for meals or going to the library together. As for how he knew Chu Yang's schedule, someone must have been helping him secretly. As for who, it was easy to guess - none of their friends wanted them to break up, and they all thought that if the couple regained their memories, they would definitely regret it. As their good friends, of course they had to help get them back together.
Chu Yang: "Don't you need to study?"
Chi Yan's inner thoughts: Losing my girlfriend is more important than studying.
"My grades are excellent, I can still get good scores without studying." Chi Yan said confidently, though in reality, he still worked hard every night.
Chu Yang was getting annoyed, "Stop following me around."
Yet the next moment, Chi Yan's eyes turned red, "No."
Chu Yang: ...Alright, alright, a grown man is crying here. Chu Yang waved her hand dismissively, "Do whatever you want."
The next second, Chi Yan's expression changed instantly as he smiled again.
Chu Yang: ...
Jin Yang, who was watching from the side, thought that even though Yang Yang had forgotten everyone, she still had no qualms about Chi Yan, the school heartthrob. Chi Yan the heartthrob was about the same.
The two walked in front of and behind each other, and everyone saw it. Then people started gossiping again, "Didn't they say they broke up?"
"It's normal for couples to break up and get back together."
"Who started that rumor anyway?"
"Who said they broke up? Don't they look the same as before?"
"Then why didn't they clarify it?"
"Do you think they're online looking at gossip like you all day? The world of top students only has studying. And why would they go online to announce their relationship to you?"
"I actually think they did break up before, but they just got back together."
"Break it up, break it up. You're all discussing their relationship every day when you're a bunch of single dogs with nothing to do."
"That hurts."
...
On the weekend, Chi Xin took them to Wenjue Temple. From the rearview mirror, Chi Xin noticed that the atmosphere between the two in the back seemed much more familiar than before. At least they were sitting closer, not leaving as much distance between them as before.
And his nephew kept glancing at her from time to time. Chi Xin shook his head. This nephew of his really had a severe case of being lovesick.
As soon as they met Mingwu Daoist, he looked at Chu Yang and said, "Oh? You were able to endure it?"
Chu Yang: ??
Chi Yan: ?? Endure what?
Afterwards, Mingwu Daoist took their pulses. Chi Yan was fine, his body was healthy and brimming with energy.
When it was Chu Yang's turn, Mingwu Daoist took her pulse for a long time, his brow slightly furrowed. In the end, he even wrote her a prescription, "Take this for two months, and you should be fine."
Chu Yang took it, "What's wrong with me?" The doctor had told her she was fine and just needed to rest and recuperate at home.
Mingwu Daoist looked at her, "Your body is too depleted. Haven't you noticed that you can't use your Witchcraft abilities anymore?"
Chu Yang immediately remembered that she indeed couldn't use her Witchcraft, "Yes."
Chi Yan, standing beside her, became anxious, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"
Mingwu Daoist said, "Not too serious, you just need to rest and recuperate properly."
Chi Yan felt relieved.
"They've both lost their memories. Do you have any way to help with that?" Chi Xin suddenly spoke up.
This made Mingwu Daoist study Chi Yan and Chu Yang more closely, "Lost their memories?" After calculating with his fingers several times, he looked at Chu Yang, "You used The Art of Space-time, so there are aftereffects."
Neither Chi Xin nor Chi Yan understood, but Chu Yang did, "I forgot, but I did read about it in the books. Is there any way to fix it?"
Mingwu Daoist shook his head, "There is always a price to pay. Your price is relatively small - some may have even died. I think it's because of the good deeds you've accumulated that you were spared. It's not a big deal, you just forgot. Your mind is fine, and that's good enough. Perhaps some day, under certain circumstances, you may regain your memories."
Chi Yan looked at Chu Yang, "But... Yang Yang doesn't remember our relationship." Although he didn't remember either, he still really liked her.
Upon hearing this, Mingwu Daoist said, "Hmm?" Then he calculated again, "It's fine, you two are destined to be together."
Chi Yan was delighted and looked at Chu Yang, but Chu Yang didn't say anything.
And so, they left with some talismans and the prescription.
"Yang Yang, give me the prescription, I'll get the medicine for you," Chi Yan had already gotten used to calling her Yang Yang.
Chu Yang put the prescription away, "It's okay. I can get it myself."
Chi Yan's lips quivered as if he was about to cry. Chu Yang immediately handed it to him - she couldn't stand him being like this.
Chi Yan was happy.
Chi Xin, who had watched the whole thing: Tsk! This kid!
After that, Chi Yan would decoct the medicine himself and then bring it to Chu Yang, "Yang Yang, time to take your medicine."
Chu Yang remembered the line: "My dear, time to take your medicine..."
Mingwu Daoist's prescription seemed to be quite effective. After taking it for a week, Chu Yang felt much more energized, no longer feeling drained and unable to muster any strength like before. Not only that, she used to feel chills throughout her body when sleeping at night, but now she slept much better. Although she still couldn't use her Witchcraft abilities, Chu Yang felt that if she continued taking the medicine, her powers would eventually return.
One day, Chi Yan's roommate Wei Feng called her, "Big shot, Yan is drunk and keeps calling for you."
