Chapter 403 You can erase my memories, but you can't erase my heartbeat.
She found some clean water and gently wiped away the blood from Lu Huai's face.

Tears fell like beads from a broken string. She turned her head away, but a tear had already landed on Lu Huai's cheek.

Lin Zhiqing was overwhelmed by sadness and did not notice that Lu Huai's eyelashes twitched slightly.

"Ah Qing?" A gentle, weak voice rang out.

Lin Zhiqing paused, then a surge of joy welled up inside her. Forgetting to wipe away her tears, she looked down at Lu Huai:

"Lu Huai, you're awake?"

"how do you feel?"

"Don't move, just rest."

Lin Zhiqing supported Lu Huai's arm, preventing him from sitting up.

Lu Huai didn't speak, he just stared at Lin Zhiqing quietly.

Lin Zhiqing mumbled to herself for a while before realizing that Lu Huai had been watching her the whole time.

She pursed her lips slightly: "Lu Huai, do you remember who I am?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Huai seemed to have thought of something and turned his body to the side.

Lin Zhiqing felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Lu Huai remembered what she knew.

Only Lu Huai would call her A Qing.

She knew that Lu Huai was angry.

Lin Zhiqing didn't know how to explain, because all explanations seemed pale in this situation.

She knew that angry people didn't want to be disturbed.

So she moved to the cave entrance, choosing not to disturb Lu Huai.

Lu Huai has woken up, and at least for now, he is not in any danger, which is a very good thing.

A huge weight was lifted from her heart, but she still couldn't help feeling lingering fear.

She was so close, so very close, to losing Lu Huai.

Lin Zhiqing felt relieved when she saw him wake up.

Just as she breathed a slight sigh of relief, Lu Huai sighed again, his voice ringing out once more:
"come here."

His tone was full of helplessness.

"Hmm?" Lin Zhiqing pursed her lips, turned around and saw that Lu Huai had already sat up against the rock wall at some point.

Although Lin Zhiqing was a little uneasy, she still stepped forward gently and squatted down next to Lu Huai.

Noticing Lu Huai's parched lips, she became somewhat anxious:
"Are you thirsty? I'll go get some water right away."

As she spoke, she tried to get up to find water, but Lu Huai grabbed her wrist.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhiqing asked.

Lu Huai didn't answer, but gently pulled her. She didn't react for a moment and fell forward.

The next moment, Lin Zhiqing felt a warm, moist touch on her lips.

She froze instantly, her eyes wide, completely unsure how to react.

She...she kissed Lu Huai?

Although she had secretly imagined this scene before, she never expected it to come so suddenly.

Lin Zhiqing pressed against Lu Huai's chest, creating distance between them:
"I...I'm not ready yet."

Her eyes were completely unsure where to look, and her mind was in turmoil.

Lu Huai stared intently at Lin Zhiqing, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice slightly hoarse:

"I'm not thirsty anymore."

"Huh?" Realizing what Lu Huai was talking about, Lin Zhiqing's face immediately flushed red.

"You, you took advantage of me."

"Ah Qing, you're not concentrating," Lu Huai said softly.

"Huh? Really? I didn't!" Lin Zhiqing denied it three times in a row, hurriedly offering an explanation.

Then, she looked up.

Lu Huai's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were upturned at the corners. His eyelashes weren't thick, but each one was distinct, and when he blinked, they would sweep a faint arc under his eyes. His nose was high and straight, which could seem somewhat aggressive at first glance, but as soon as he smiled, he could make people feel his gentle kindness.

Lu Huai's features had never been so clear in her eyes before.

And his lips...

Lin Zhiqing swallowed hard. For some reason, the tension in her mind had completely snapped.

She leaned forward and gently pecked Lu Huai's lips.

I was startled by my own reaction, but I tried to remain calm:
"I wasn't distracted, I... I felt you were thirsty..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Huai grasped Lin Zhiqing's slender wrist, leaned forward slightly, and once again covered Lin Zhiqing's lips with his.

He started with a light kiss, then gradually deepened it.

Lin Zhiqing slowly lowered the hand that was between her and Lu Huai, and closed her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Huai pulled Lin Zhiqing into his arms.

At the same time, he took Lin Zhiqing's hand and placed it on his chest.

This...this isn't good...Lin Zhiqing swallowed again.

But the next moment, Lu Huai's words dispelled that romantic atmosphere.

His voice was very soft:
"Ah Qing, can you feel it?"

You can erase my memories, but you can't erase my heartbeat.

Lin Zhiqing's heart skipped a beat.

She was indeed extremely shocked when she learned that Lu Huai remembered her.

Because she has a deep understanding of mind-reading techniques, in the cases she has encountered and learned about, this kind of memory hypnosis is basically impossible to break.

But Lu Huai actually did it.

This overturned some of Lin Zhiqing's established definitions.

Furthermore, she understood the meaning behind Lu Huai's words just now.

Lin Zhiqing previously stated that she believes in her own judgment of mind analysis and her own judgment of the subconscious.

What Lu Huai wants to tell Lin Zhiqing now is that he has broken through the shackles of the Mind-Observation School, so the Mind-Observation School is not necessarily perfect.

Lin Zhiqing's use of the "psychological analysis" to judge emotions is a mistake.

"Lu Huai, I was wrong, terribly wrong." Lin Zhiqing's voice trembled.

Lu Huai simply rested his chin on Lin Zhiqing's shoulder quietly, without any reaction.

Lin Zhiqing sensed something was wrong and shifted her body slightly, causing Lu Huai's body to sway slightly with her movement.

His face touched Lin Zhiqing's face.

hot!
So hot!

Lin Zhiqing did not believe that Lu Huai's blushing was due to shyness.

She broke free from Lu Huai's embrace and saw that Lu Huai's face had turned red at a visible speed.

No! Catching a cold in a place like this can be fatal!

Although Lin Zhiqing had some medicine for injuries, most of it was for treating external injuries.

And these medicines were originally prepared for her own use.

Having decided to take this path, she knew she was bound to bleed and get hurt.

But she did not expect Lu Huai to suddenly appear.

Furthermore, throughout the descent, Lu Huai held her tightly in his arms.

So all the injuries were on Lu Huai.

Thinking of all this, Lin Zhiqing immediately laid Lu Huai flat, tore off the hem of her relatively clean inner skirt, and got up to soak the hem in the cold water at the entrance of the cave.

Then, she placed the hem of her skirt on Lu Huai's forehead.

This went on for an unknown period of time before Lu Huai's complexion gradually returned to normal.

But his body was still cold.

Lin Zhiqing moved him to the fire and held his hand, rubbing it back and forth to warm him.

She worked for a long time until Lu Huai's breathing gradually calmed down, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief.
