She was chagrined at her inability to recall her past . In distress, she pinched her lips into a tight line . Obviously, she had really forgotten it all .

Di Fuyi sighed . "Back in those days, you carried a box around with the bracelet within it in hopes to find your perfect husband . As told by the myth, it will only secure itself around the man who is destined to be with you . During my birthday, you showed up with the bracelet . It picked me and secured itself on my wrist . "

The sequence of the events was pretty accurate, but what he said was not exactly what had happened . His obscure version of the story had successful led Gu Xijiu into believing that the bracelet was actually a Love Bracelet . She thought that it worked almost like an embroidered ball that was used to choose a husband . Their engagement seemed to be a result of the random selection .

Just at that moment, a few pieces of memory flashed by . Gu Xijiu somehow recalled a birthday party . She gave out a gift box, and when the box was opened, a gla.s.s dragon emerged . The scenes were in bits and pieces, so she failed to connect the dots . Nevertheless, Gu Xijiu decided to try and relate the events together . "Before the bracelet secured itself on your wrist, was it in the shape of a golden gla.s.s dragon?"

Di Fuyi's eyes darkened in response . "Did you get back your memory?"

"Just answer me . "

"Yes . "

Gu Xijiu was moved . The pieces of memory in her head were real events that had happened before . She could finally remember a bit of her past . She tried to think more deeply from the clues given, but an intense headache stopped her from doing so . The pain was as if someone had put a nail in the back of her head, and the intensity of the pain made her break out in a cold sweat . Her body trembled in pain .

"What is it?" Concerned, Di Fuyi grabbed her hand tightly .

"Do not try to help her recall her memory . Whenever she tries to remember something from the past, she will get a headache . It has been going on like this for a long while . " The clan leader sighed .

Still trembling, Gu Xijiu reached into her pocket and took out a small bamboo bottle . Inside, there was a green pill . She immediately wanted to put it in her mouth but was halted by Di Fuyi .

"Give… Give it to me . " Gu Xijiu begged him with a trembling voice .

Di Fuyi took the pill in his hand . With a sniff, he could tell the function of the pill . "The pill works only as a painkiller . It does more harm than good to your body . You should not take it . "

With a flick, the pill went straight into the pile of rubbish in the corner .

Gu Xijiu was at a loss for words . The refuge was very short of resources . In fact, the western part of the village was barren land . The best crops that they could afford were sweet potatoes . There was no source of medicine anywhere .

She had to brave her way through dangers in the valley in order to get the painkiller, which almost cost her life . It was a very rare herb, so she would not usually eat it . To her utter surprise, Di Fuyi treated the precious pill as if it was a waste .

Before she argued, Di Fuyi took out another bottle of medicine that carried a s.h.i.+mmering purple pill . "Take this . " He fed her the pill .

The smell of the pill was refres.h.i.+ng . It was the typical kind of scent that every good pill bore . With a sniff, she already knew it was good . She put it straight into her mouth and was ready to scoop some water to swallow the pill . Before she could get up, Di Fuyi immediately offered her another bottle of liquid . "The water is not clean . Come; have this . "

She did not know how the liquid would taste . However, from the look of the bottle, she could tell that it must be something expensive . The bottle was made of transparent crystal, carrying some clear liquid within . She took a sip and was overwhelmed by the pleasantly sweet taste that lingered on her tongue .

Slowly, she drank it all . She could not help but look at Di Fuyi with curious eyes . His robes were thin, hanging loosely over his body . How did he manage to keep so many things within his robes? The s.p.a.ce in his sleeves was like a goldmine that offered him anything that he wished for .
