Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 151 A Perfect Match

The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the three figures on the bed.

Compared to the other two, whose eyelids were trembling slightly from being exposed to direct sunlight, the girl with long pinkish-blue hair was facing away from the window, half-curled up in the boy's arms, and looked to be sleeping soundly.

Even breathing rose and fell, and finally, nestled between two soft cushions on either side, Huo Yuhao, lying in the middle, slowly opened his eyes.

As always, what came into view was a ceiling with nothing but a soul-guiding lamp.

The white paint on the walls had been eroded by time for countless years; although it wasn't exactly dirty, it had turned a dull, yellowish-gray.

It wasn't until his chaotic thoughts completely returned that he belatedly looked at Gu Yuena, who was sleeping peacefully beside him, and was immediately shocked into breaking out in a cold sweat.

Desperately searching his memory of last night, Huo Yuhao's face grew increasingly confused.

This isn't right!

Didn't I wear clothes before going to bed last night?

As he thought about it, his gaze drifted downwards uncontrollably.

"."

perfect.

At this moment, apart from other thoughts, only these two words remained in Huo Yuhao's mind.

I don’t know if it’s some kind of magic, but even though he’s seen it many times, he still gets drawn to it every time this happens.

Of course, now is obviously not the time to worry about that. It would be fine on a normal day, but he hadn't forgotten that there was Wang Dong'er on the other side right now.

With a hint of reluctance, Huo Yuhao quietly pulled the blanket covering Gu Yuena up a little higher. Sensing her stirring restlessly, as if she were about to wake up, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the side where Wang Dong'er was.

then.

The emotions that had just been suppressed began to stir again.

Although she wasn't naked like Gu Yuena, the wide neckline and her less-than-ideal sleeping posture allowed Huo Yuhao to once again enjoy a large expanse of spring scenery.

Seemingly sensing Huo Yuhao's breath as he turned his head, Wang Dong'er, still asleep, let out a soft moan and subconsciously moved closer to him.

And so, the two of them worked together perfectly in their sleep, forming a sandwich between two people, one on the left and one on the right, squeezing Huo Yuhao in the middle to contemplate the philosophy of life.

As for those who were already half asleep, they stretched and yawned as if celebrating the beautiful morning.

"Do you need any help?"

A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz rang out, and Huo Yuhao subconsciously turned his head to look, only to meet Gu Yuena's captivating, deep purple eyes.

".ah?"

"What are you doing! If Dong'er wakes up, we're doomed."

In order not to wake Wang Dong'er beside him, Huo Yuhao kept his voice as low as possible when he spoke, making his questioning tone sound like flirting between lovers.

Gu Yuena blinked, seemingly puzzled, and asked in return.

"Then why don't you just try not to make a sound?"

After saying that, Gu Yuena seemed to have thought of something. While using her free hand to continue suppressing Huo Yuhao's arm that was trying to break free, she leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

"After all, you don't want her to find out what we're doing, do you?"

On her way to the classroom, Wang Dong'er, looking radiant and as if reborn, walked briskly, humming an unknown lullaby.

As she walked, she seemed to remember something and looked at Huo Yuhao, asking hesitantly.

"Yuhao, when you woke up just now, did you smell a strange odor?"

"Huh? Really? I don't know!"

As if those words had triggered some unpleasant memories, Huo Yuhao shuddered, and his previously empty eyes suddenly filled with panic.

"Can you smell something?"

As he spoke, he subtly glared at Gu Yuena, who was quietly making a fortune beside him.

"Hmm, I don't really know how to describe it. It's just a very faint smell, a strange scent that I've never smelled before. Oh well, maybe it's just my imagination. Never mind."

Without dwelling on the topic, Wang Dong'er continued to ask.

"Speaking of those memories, if they're with you, Yuhao, they shouldn't have any negative impact on you, right?"

"Won't."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then asked softly, "But are you sure you don't want to look at those memories?"

"."

Wang Dong'er paused for a moment, and after a brief silence, she gently shook her head.

"I'm not watching anymore."

Seemingly noticing the undisguised surprise on Huo Yuhao's face, she couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

"What, is that strange?"

"It's not that strange."

Huo Yuhao coughed twice: "I'm just a little curious about your reasons for making this choice."

"Want to know? I can tell you, but you have to answer one question in exchange!"

"make a deal."

Seeing Huo Yuhao nod in agreement, Wang Dong'er's expression softened. After a moment of hesitation, she slowly spoke.

"There are quite a few reasons. The first is that since the seal was broken, I have no voice in my mind when I come into contact with the soul tool. If the seal alone can do this, I am worried that the sealed things will have an even greater impact on me."

"Like I said yesterday, I don't want to make a choice I'll regret."

"The second reason is based on the first one."

Wang Dong'er lowered her eyes slightly and explained softly.

"You might not believe it, but I actually have no memory of my parents. All my impressions of them come from the accounts of two elders who cared for me. In their descriptions, my parents loved me very much and did a lot for me."

At this point, Wang Dong'er paused, then changed the subject.

"But that was just verbal description."

"."

After a brief silence, staring at Huo Yuhao's suddenly bewildered expression, Wang Dong'er spoke coldly, her voice tinged with anger.

"The truth is that they abandoned me and even sealed away all my memories of them. They have never come to see me in all these years. Their love for me has only existed in their descriptions, and I have never felt a single bit of it."

"Perhaps they really do love me, just as my two elders said, and I really want to know what kind of people they are, but I want to verify this curiosity myself and judge whether they love me from my current perspective."

"Consider it revenge for everything I've suffered, since they've sealed away my memories and don't want me to see them."

Wang Dong'er took a deep breath and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Then I'll never watch it."

After a long silence, Huo Yuhao finally broke free, his lips moving for a long time before he let out a soft sigh.

"She and you are definitely not the same person."

"What?"

"It's nothing."

With a light laugh, Huo Yuhao shook his head and spoke gently.

"In exchange for your answers, now it's your turn to ask me questions."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao bring it up, Wang Dong'er's expression brightened, and she immediately forgot about what had just happened.

As the scenes of her time with Huo Yuhao over the past year flashed through her mind, Wang Dong'er looked at the young man in front of her earnestly, her tone serious.

"Weren't we already at odds? Did you already know me all along?"

".yes."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao finished with just one word, Wang Dong'er, who was hoping to hear a more intricate story, was somewhat taken aback.

"That's it!?"

Huo Yuhao helplessly shrugged: "But I did answer."

"No, you're cheating. This question doesn't count!"

Just like back at the love hotel, even though she had lost everything, she still shamelessly continued to play. Wang Dong'er spoke in a loud voice.

"Let me ask you another question. Since you've known me for a long time, when exactly did that happen?"

Faced with this question, Huo Yuhao finally stopped joking around as before. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly gave his answer.

"I don't know either, but it must have been a very, very long time ago, long before you were born into this world."

Before Wang Dong'er could react to these words, Gu Yuena, who had been silent, gave Huo Yuhao a meaningful look.

Recalling the sudden changes that occurred after the auspicious beast underwent attribute guidance in the Star Dou Great Forest, she finally understood.

No wonder Huo Yuhao was so excited this morning.

Far from feeling resentful for having one less lifetime of interaction with others, Gu Yuena felt a secret sense of satisfaction after figuring things out.

After all, judging from Huo Yuhao's awkwardness during their first fight, it was clear that he was experiencing his first taste of this kind of challenge in both his previous lives.

It felt like a race where, even though she gave everyone else a lap, she still won the final championship.

What could be more satisfying than this?

So what if others had similar experiences in their past lives?

Just like this morning, it's merely become part of adding spice to the experience.
