Godslayer: I am the agent of King of Glory heroes

"We need to stack 21 of them."

Against a backdrop of silvery white, Lin Qiye, dressed in a black overcoat, stood tall and slender like a bamboo shoot, his eyes, bright as stars, filled with seriousness.

"...?" Jiang Shiyuan had a premonition and asked hesitantly, "Why are you piling up so many?"

"Because you said you'd make up for it once a year, and I promised you that." As Lin Qiye spoke, the white breath he exhaled slowly rose, mingling with the snow that had fallen on his shoulders.

Seeing Jiang Shiyuan's stunned expression, he smiled and handed the snowball in his hand to Jiang Shiyuan, "Although you may not remember."

"Th...thank you." Her premonition was confirmed, and Jiang Shiyuan felt embarrassed; this was indeed what she would say.

Lin Qiye shook his head. "Don't thank me. I should be the one apologizing."

"This is something I promised you after the great calamity in Cangnan, but I broke my promise the following year. Fortunately, you didn't mind at all and forgave me immediately."

"Huh?!" Jiang Shiyuan, still immersed in her emotions, widened her eyes.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to be surprised that Lin Qiye had broken his promise or to be surprised by her own magnanimity.

"You...you shouldn't mind at all, right?" The question seemed to be asked unintentionally.

"How could I possibly know given my situation?" Jiang Shiyuan said, both amused and exasperated.

"Whether I have the memory or not, it's all you. I just want to confirm it again." Lin Qiye squatted down and continued what he was doing to hide his anxiety.

"..." Jiang Shiyuan stared at Lin Qiye, who seemed a bit busy, but she didn't know what he was busy with, and fell silent.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but she is indeed a bit of a vengeful person...

The courtyard was quiet and still; everything was understood without being said.

"I understand." Lin Qiye's body stiffened.

Sure enough, all those times when she said she forgave him and didn't care were just her way of putting on a brave face.

If it weren't for the amnesia incident, he might never have known that such a thing, which he thought was already over, had appeared in Jiang Shiyuan's grudge notebook.

"Sorry, I am indeed a rather awkward person, so it's ridiculous to say that I forgive easily," Jiang Shiyuan said frankly.

She doesn't think being conflicted is a bad thing; after all, you can't live without disliking yourself.

Of course, if it's someone else who's conflicted, that's a different story. The main point is to ensure you don't lose out.

"No, I'm not sorry. I'm happy to have gotten to know the real you." Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow. Why did he suddenly feel that amnesia wasn't such a bad thing after all?

Seeing Jiang Shiyuan's composed expression, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but repeat, "I know I'm taking advantage of you like this, but I'm really happy now, at least I know where I went wrong."

She had always hidden herself very well, and even when he occasionally noticed, she always managed to easily brush it off.

His emotional intelligence hasn't been developed enough to accurately discern her mood. Being at a disadvantage in the relationship, he has always been insecure and lacks confidence, which has led him to make many mistakes.

Perhaps because she had no memory of it, her attitude towards him changed somewhat, and she became unexpectedly much more honest.

Amnesia might just be the catalyst for their relationship to blossom.

"The way you're saying it makes me feel like 'I' am some kind of bad guy who's always manipulating you," Jiang Shiyuan said helplessly, questioning her life once again.

"You're great, it's just that I always make mistakes." Lin Qiye frowned and immediately denied it. "It's because I'm not good enough. I'll change, I really will."

Jiang Shiyuan's lips twitched slightly. Lin Qiye's words made it even more plausible, didn't they?

She rubbed her temples, refusing to admit that she was the one who had turned an innocent young man into this.

"You don't need to change. You look exactly like my ideal type, and you have a good personality too."

Since 'I' am with you, it's because I like you the way you are, so don't overthink it or try to change yourself unnecessarily.

"..." These words successfully left Lin Qiye's fingers, which were frozen red, hanging in the air.

At that moment, something warm welled up from the bottom of his heart, leaving him speechless for a long time.

On a cold winter morning, a gentle breeze blows, and warm snowflakes fill your hands; everything is beautiful and irreplaceable.

……

Wu Xiangnan and Chen Muyi arrived in Cangnan in the afternoon.

After building the snowman, Jiang Shiyuan summoned Baili Pangpang and the others. The seven of them then went to the market with Hongying and Zhao Kongcheng and bought a lot of vegetables.

That evening, the Peace Agency became lively again, something it hadn't done in a long time.

An unknown comedy sketch was playing on the television. On the large round table, ten dishes, including braised pork ribs and braised shrimp, were laid out. The dishes looked very tempting. There were even several large plates of dumplings on the far side.

Aunt, Chen Muye, Wu Xiangnan, Hongying, Wen Qimo, Zhao Kongcheng, and the rest of the Nightfall team took their seats. More than ten people filled almost the entire large round table.

It's New Year's Eve again.

Although Hongying is now the new captain of Squad 136, in her heart, Chen Muye will always be her captain. As is customary every year on New Year's Eve, it is Chen Muye, the captain, who gives the speech, and this year is no exception.

"The New Year's bell is about to ring, and I never thought we would be able to reunite here today." Chen Muye raised his wine glass and glanced around the almost full table.

Finally, his gaze lingered for a moment on the two empty seats in the corner, those of Si Xiaonan and Leng Xuan.

The eyes of the members of Squad 136 also fell on that spot. After the Battle of Cangnan, the two disappeared without a trace, and it was unknown when they would meet again.

Today is a rare reunion, but with two people missing, it's not quite complete.

Lin Qiye didn't show it on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Chen Muye paused, looked away, and continued:

I won't say anything more. May we always have reunions to strive for, year after year.

And may you all, through thick and thin, always remember your original selves. I, Chen Muye, raise a glass to you all.

"boom--!"

Outside the office, golden particles of light shot into the sky, froze at their highest point, and then exploded with a bang, like millions of meteors falling at the same time. The sparks fell with trails of flame, turning into glowing raindrops.

The clinking of glasses filled with drinks and alcohol, amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, heralds the arrival of the new year.

May the new year bring peace and prosperity, and may our original aspirations remain steadfast.
