Ben10: A Romantic Adventure with a Gender-Swapped Class

After all, the atmosphere in this setting is really not conducive to such an event.

Kevin has never truly apologized to Mo Bai, since he is still suffering from amnesia and wouldn't understand or respond to anything he said.

After saying that, Mo Li cast a teleportation spell and left. Heaven knows where she went.

"Su Zixuan...that name sounds familiar...but I can't quite place it."

Mo Bai muttered to herself, her expression showing great anxiety.

Startled, Xiao Ban quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, alright, I don't blame you anymore."

"Kevin should be done baking soon, and I'm starving too."

After saying that, she reached out and took Mo Bai's hand, preparing to pull him back to the camp so that he would stop thinking about it.

However, Mo Bai suddenly let go of her hand, stood there with her head down, and asked.

"Are you hiding something from me...?"

Why does my heart ache so much?

Xiao Ban slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Mo Bai. He saw Mo Bai clenching her teeth, one hand forcefully wiping away the tears that kept sliding down her cheeks.

The tears seemed to burst forth as long-suppressed emotions, and Mo Bai appeared completely unaware of her own weeping.

Perhaps even he himself didn't understand why he was so unable to hold back his tears at this moment.

Perhaps it is because of his unrecovered memories that many of his past experiences and emotions are buried deep in his heart. He is unwilling to touch them, fearing that if he recalls them, he will become vulnerable and extremely fragile.

So he chose to wrap himself in "forgetting," hiding those painful memories and real feelings, as if he were wearing a hard protective layer.

However, those forgotten memories are now gradually being awakened, surging into his mind like a tide, making it impossible for him to continue to escape.

As his memories return, his deepest weaknesses gradually surface.

In fact, Mo Bai has always been enduring immense pain and fear.

He was afraid of heights, afraid of the dark, afraid of being alone, and even more afraid of losing.

He had been numbing himself for a long time, making himself believe that those fears did not exist, or that he had successfully overcome them.

Over time, he seemed to have truly stopped feeling afraid, and even gradually forgot what fear actually felt like.

Just then, Mo Bai suddenly felt a pair of warm arms tightly embracing him. The warmth seemed to penetrate his body and reach the depths of his heart.

His tears suddenly stopped at that moment.

Mo Bai raised her head in a daze, her gaze falling on Xiao Ban.

Xiao Ban stood on tiptoe slightly, wrapped her arms tightly around him, and without saying a word, she offered him comfort and support in this silent way.

"Cry, don't hold it in alone," Xiao Ban's voice was gentle and warm, like a spring breeze brushing past Mo Bai's ear.

The simple five words, "You still have me," were like a bright light, illuminating the dark corner of Mo Bai's heart.

Perhaps because she was afraid that she was not good with words and did not know how to comfort Mo Bai, Xiao Ban chose to use just a few words.

However, this silent companionship and embrace were more powerful than any words, making Mo Bai feel warm and cared for.

Mo Bai's tears gradually stopped. He sniffed and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Um... I'm about to... be strangled to death by you..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ban's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

She quickly let go of his hand and turned around, seemingly afraid to face Mo Bai.

Narrator: "Sometimes loving too deeply can become a form of harm."

"Ahem, if you're feeling better, go back quickly," Xiao Ban cleared his throat and said, trying to sound calm.

"Otherwise, Xiaowen and Kevin will start nagging us again..."
