I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Li Xue said with a face full of surprise, "Caiyi, it's so good to see you safe and sound! But—hehe, can I take a look at your gun?"

After saying that, she playfully blinked her big, watery eyes, her gaze full of expectation and curiosity, staring intently at Caiyi.

However, Caiyi fell silent at this moment, because she actually didn't have a gun on her at all.

Even if they did have a gun, it would be a highly confidential item that could never be easily shown to others, so how could they possibly show it to Li Xue?

Seeing this, Wei Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Xue and scolded her irritably, "Li Xue, what on earth are you thinking about?"

"It's already incredibly incredible that she managed to escape from such a dangerous place unharmed. And you actually have the audacity to expect her to bring back the gun? Please, don't be so ridiculous!"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Li Xue's face vanished instantly, replaced by a faint sense of disappointment.

She pouted and muttered, "Oh dear, I was just asking casually, why are you making such a fuss?"

With a smile on his face, Caiyi slowly said, "I can't just take this gun out and show it to you, but I can teach you some basic moves. You've been saying you wanted to learn them all along!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xue's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded excitedly, saying, "Great! That's wonderful!"

So Caiyi began to patiently teach those basic and practical moves, and these moves were not secrets that needed to be kept strictly confidential.

Jiang Li, who was standing to the side, practiced diligently, but as she practiced, a strange feeling welled up in her heart that was hard to describe.

For some reason, she felt that the moves were incredibly smooth, as if she had mastered them long ago, but she had absolutely no recollection of them.

Perhaps it's just an illusion.

After the four of them finished practicing the entire set of moves, they were all drenched in sweat, and even the lingering drowsiness from the morning had completely disappeared.

After they finished washing up, they walked together toward the cafeteria.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Jiang Li picked up a chopstick and gently poked open the lotus leaf-wrapped sticky rice chicken in front of her. Then, she scooped up a full spoonful and put it in her mouth while turning to look at Cai Yi, casually asking, "By the way, did you send them a message saying you were out?"

Upon hearing this, Caiyi's eyes widened suddenly, and he abruptly stopped chewing his food.

Then, she awkwardly reached up and touched her head, grinned, and replied sheepishly, "Oh dear, look at my memory, I completely forgot."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yi forgot to continue enjoying his meal. He hurriedly put down his chopsticks, quickly took out his phone, sent a message to Xiao Baihua, and then immediately sent another message to Xu Qingming.

After seeing that the other party replied that everything was fine, Xu Qingming nodded slightly and replied with a sigh of relief: That's good.

Xu Qingming: However, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you.

Xu Qingming: I wonder if it would be convenient for you to come to the student union later?

Caiyi was puzzled after seeing the message, completely baffled, but out of politeness, she quickly replied: Okay.

After she finished speaking, she unconsciously sped up her eating.

Seeing this, Jiang Li asked curiously, "Why are you eating so fast? Is something urgent?"

With food still stuffed in his mouth, Caiyi mumbled, "I do have something to take care of. Could you please ask my teacher for leave for me later?"

Before she finished speaking, she grabbed the soy milk on the table and ran away in a hurry.

Jiang Li watched her departing figure, her brows furrowing as she pondered what could have made her so hurried and anxious.

Despite her many questions, when she finally arrived at the classroom, she still asked the teacher for leave as Caiyi had instructed.

Meanwhile, Cai Yi jogged all the way to the student council and successfully found Xu Qingming's office.

She first stopped, took a deep breath to calm her slightly rapid breathing, then slowly pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The room was quiet; there was no one else besides the two of them.

"Why do you seem a bit mysterious today?"

Cai Yi looked around curiously, then smiled and asked Xu Qingming.

At this moment, Xu Qingming silently walked up behind her, reached out and gently turned the doorknob to lock it, then turned around to face Cai Yi, a faint smile on his face, and said softly, "Have a seat first."

Cai Yi obediently sat down as instructed, her gaze fixed on Xu Qingming in front of her, keenly noticing that he seemed different from usual today.

The person who was usually gentle and reserved appeared unusually serious at this moment, and even exuded a subtle, almost imperceptible sharpness.

Why do you look so serious? Has something earth-shattering happened?

Cai Yi stared at Xu Qingming with a puzzled look, trying to glean some clue from his solemn expression.

Xu Qingming's gaze was firm, and without the slightest hesitation, he asked directly, "Have I lost my memory?"

Upon hearing this, Caiyi was instantly stunned, thinking to himself, "...How could he know about this? The world consciousness clearly told us that although the memories in their minds are all false, they shouldn't be able to detect it!"

"Logically speaking, they shouldn't be able to realize that their memories are missing."

Xu Qingming's dark eyes, as deep as a pool, were fixed on Cai Yi's face. After a brief pause, he slowly said, "It seems that it is indeed true."

Caiyi was taken aback, thinking, "...I clearly didn't utter a single word! How did this guy guess it?"

At this moment, Xu Qingming continued, "When you fired the gun yesterday, I already sensed something was amiss."

"You're just an ordinary student, so why would you be carrying a gun?"

"Moreover, your marksmanship is so exquisite that it is a skill that no ordinary person can master."

Recalling yesterday's scene, Cai Yi deliberately aimed at the boy's wrist and fired, while a large crowd had gathered around.

To hit a target with such precision in such a complex environment is clearly not something an ordinary person could easily do.
