Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Bai Yichen nodded slightly upon hearing this. He looked at Xue Yao, his eyes filled with reluctance. He had a hunch that there must be some kind of connection between him and Xue Yao.

But for some reason, whenever he tried to touch this point, his head felt like it was about to explode and the pain was inexplicable.

Bai Yichen gritted his teeth, enduring the piercing pain, and tried to dig out the deeply buried memory. But every attempt was like a storm in his mind, making it almost unbearable for him.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. Blood flowed through his fingers and dripped onto the cold stone slabs, where it was instantly absorbed without a trace.

The pain was not only physical, but also mental. He seemed to feel an invisible force preventing him from uncovering that dusty memory.

However, it was this pain and unwillingness that aroused the stubbornness and persistence deep in his heart. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to touch that taboo corner again.

This time, he did not struggle blindly, but let his mind sink into tranquility, as if the whole world had stopped.

In this silence, he felt a clarity and sharpness he had never felt before.

Those originally vague fragments of memory began to slowly converge in his mind, gradually forming complete pictures.

He saw every little detail between himself and a woman, the laughter, tears, quarrels and hugs, all so real and profound.

However, as the scene gradually approached the most critical and painful moment, his head began to ache violently again. He felt a powerful force tearing at his consciousness, as if pulling him into an endless abyss.

Bai Yichen gritted his teeth and tried to stay awake. He knew he couldn't give up just like that.

That memory is of vital importance to him. It concerns his identity, his past, and even his future with Xueyao.

He took a deep breath and let his mind sink into peace again. This time, he faced the pain and memory with more determination.

He believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would be able to solve the mystery and get back everything he had lost.

Finally, after countless struggles and pains, he succeeded in touching that deeply buried memory. He saw the deepest connection between himself and that woman, and also saw the reason why he had lost that memory.

However, just as he was about to touch the edge of that memory and tried to dig it out completely, an even more powerful force suddenly struck him, knocking him to the ground again and pushing him into the abyss of darkness again.

His vision went dark, he felt dizzy, and then he lost all consciousness and fell into a deep coma.

"Xueyao..." He called out softly, his eyes filled with confusion and pain. He felt as if he was standing in a fog, the scene all around him was blurry and unclear. Only Xueyao's figure, like a beacon in the darkness, gave him a glimmer of light and guidance.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar bed, surrounded by unfamiliar surroundings. He tried to sit up, but felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.

"Are you awake?" A gentle voice sounded in his ears. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xueyao standing by the bed, looking at him with concern.

"Where... where am I?" Bai Yichen asked weakly.

"This is an inn, our temporary place to stay." Xue Yao explained, "You suddenly passed out earlier, so we had no choice but to bring you here to rest."

Bai Yichen felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard this. He looked at Xue Yao, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Xueyao." He said softly.

Xueyao smiled slightly and shook her head. "You're welcome. We're friends."

Bai Yichen's heart moved. Yes, they were friends. No matter what happened, they would support each other and face it together.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He knew he couldn't let the memories of the past haunt him. He had more important things to do—recover his lost memories, uncover the truth, and complete his mission.

So, he closed his eyes again and began to try to touch those vague memories. This time, he did not grab them blindly, but calmed down and carefully felt the information in those fragments.

Soon, those blurry images gradually became clearer. He saw every detail of his relationship with a woman, the laughter and tears they had shared. He felt the warmth and determination in his heart, and also felt his deep attachment to Xueyao.

"So... this is the fate that Master wanted to tell me, but he couldn't?" Bai Yichen muttered to himself. His eyes were filled with bitterness and confusion. "I actually had an engagement with a woman?"

This memory was like a sharp blade, deeply hurting his heart. Bai Yichen clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his palms, but he didn't feel the pain at all.

His mind was filled with confusion and puzzlement. Why did he forget such an important thing? Why did he have such a complicated emotional entanglement?

He tried again and again to see if the woman was Xue Yao, but he couldn't see her face clearly.

Bai Yichen felt a wave of deep frustration, as if he were blocked by an invisible wall, unable to peek into that crucial past. Every attempt was like putting a heavy pressure on his fragile nerves, almost suffocating him.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Xueyao's gentle face, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He longed to get an answer from Xueyao, but he was also afraid that the truth would be even more difficult for him to accept.

"Xueyao..." He called softly again, his voice trembling slightly, "Have we...have we met before?"

Xue Yao was a little confused when she heard this, "We? Mr. Bai, what's wrong with you?"

"I mean, have we met before we met in the human world?" Seeing Xue Yao's face full of questions, Bai Yichen quickly added.

Xue Yao said without hesitation, "No."

Bai Yichen's heart sank suddenly. He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes flickering with complex emotions. He clearly felt that there was some kind of inexplicable connection between him and Xue Yao, so why did she deny their past?

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

"Maybe my feeling is wrong." He whispered, with a hint of bitterness in his voice. He knew that he could not continue to indulge in the memories of the past. He had to face reality and move on.

Xue Yao looked at Bai Yichen, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. Although she didn't understand why Bai Yichen suddenly asked this question, she could feel his inner struggle and pain. She gently held Bai Yichen's hand, giving him silent support and comfort.

"Mr. Bai, no matter what happened in the past, we are friends now." Xue Yao said gently, "We will face the challenges of the future together and find answers together."
