If there's someone you've known for a long time, and you share a good relationship, sometimes even if you're walking in opposite directions on the street, you'll somehow feel their presence – that's the magic of human senses.
Right now, it was the same for Hao Jian, who was strolling casually and suddenly spotted a figure. Even though it was just a familiar silhouette, he could tell right away who it was.
It must be her!
Afraid of missing her again, Hao Jian immediately chased after her and gave her a pat on the shoulder.
At that moment, she turned around.
"Moon! It's really you!" Hao Jian said happily.
The last time he met the Moon Goddess, whom Hao Jian called Moon, he couldn't even remember when it was. After that, Moon disappeared for a while. At the time, Hao Jian was too caught up with his own matters to look for her. He thought they might never meet again but unexpectedly ran into her at the Ancient Martial Arts tournament in Huaxia. Hao Jian couldn't have been happier.
It's the feeling of reuniting with an old friend, and for a moment, Hao Jian felt like he had so much to say.
But at this moment, Moon looked at Hao Jian with a face full of confusion.
Hao Jian thought Moon was playing a game of pretending not to know him. So, he stared at her chest, as he used to do. Indeed, Moon's chest seemed to have grown quite a bit during this time. Hao Jian used to like staring at Moon's chest just to amuse her and get smacked playfully for it, so no matter how she pretended, he was sure she would get annoyed if he stared at her chest.
This was one of the tricks he never got tired of using.
In the past, his relationship with Moon was great; they were often together, so they knew each other's quirks well.
Hao Jian still used that old gaze, staring at Moon's chest.
"Haha! They've grown quite a bit, huh!" Hao Jian said.
However, at this moment, Moon's face showed a hint of displeasure, and she suddenly made a move against Hao Jian.
Hao Jian immediately grabbed Moon's hand and said, "Haha, you gave yourself away. You're still pretending not to know me!"
Moon pulled her hand away from Hao Jian's grip and said, "Who knows you!"
Hao Jian still thought Moon was joking with him, as her demeanor and tone were exactly like how she used to speak to him.
But she only allowed Hao Jian to look; if any other man dared to stare at her, she would undoubtedly beat him up, making sure he would never dare to look at her again. But if it were Hao Jian, she would just scold him a bit at most.
This was a typical case of treating people differently.
So, upon hearing Moon's words, Hao Jian still believed that Moon was pretending not to know him.
Hao Jian immediately leaned closer and lightly touched Moon's face. He used to enjoy getting close like this and touching Moon's smooth and fair face.
But just as Hao Jian touched her, Moon suddenly grew furious and glared at him.
With a swift motion, she kicked at him harshly, but Hao Jian quickly dodged it.
Suddenly, Hao Jian realized something was wrong. Even if Moon was pretending not to recognize him, she couldn't have kicked so hard. He was familiar with Moon's little pink fists; he had experienced them before.
Hao Jian showed a puzzled expression: "Moon, you?"
Moon replied, "My name is Moon. I don't know how you know my name, but if you dare come any closer, I'll break your legs, do you believe me?"
"Moon!"
Hao Jian's voice was now almost inaudible. He knew Moon, and although she could seem violent, she was truly a gentle girl. Even when she threatened to hit him, she would only say things like "you're asking for it," and would never say something as ruthless as breaking his legs.
Moreover, her tone and demeanor had changed completely, as if she had become a different person.
Hao Jian was suddenly dumbfounded.
How could Moon have changed like this?
If the person in front of him wasn't Moon, he wouldn't believe it for a second, for he knew the scent she carried. He used to smell that faint fragrance on her every day, so he was confident that the person in front of him was indeed Moon.
If it were someone impersonating Moon, Hao Jian would have seen through it instantly; the person in front of him was clearly the real Moon.
But why had Moon changed, with her tone and demeanor both different, and why did she say she didn't recognize him?
A thousand questions flooded Hao Jian's mind all at once.
"Moon, it's me, I'm Hao Jian!"
Hao Jian desperately hoped Moon would say she recognized him.
Yet, Moon didn't even glance at Hao Jian and turned away to leave.
In his desperation, Hao Jian rushed forward, grabbed Moon's hand, and pulled her into his embrace, saying, "Moon, it's me, Hao Jian!"
The Moon was suddenly embraced by Hao Jian, she had never been held like this before, and her face turned red as she struggled free from Hao Jian's arms.
Then she said, "Get away!"
The Moon had never told him to get lost before, and Hao Jian was so excited he grabbed her hand again.
At this moment, the Moon was completely furious, being held repeatedly by a stranger was exhausting all her patience.
The Moon said to Hao Jian, "You keep provoking me, are you insane?!"
Hao Jian replied, "I'm not insane, Moon, what's wrong with you?"
She then tried to leave, but Hao Jian held her hand again.
He couldn't just let the Moon walk away like this. Last time when she disappeared, there was no news from her ever again. This time, he coincidentally ran into her, but she didn't recognize him anymore. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of this.
But Hao Jian's act of grabbing her hand completely enraged the Moon.
The Moon performed a grand split kick towards Hao Jian. Hao Jian hurriedly dodged to avoid the full attack. Imagine what would have happened if he hadn't dodged; he would have been lying on the ground.
The power of that kick was nothing to scoff at.
"Moon, listen to me!" Hao Jian said.
But the Moon couldn't hear anything anymore. At this moment, in her heart, Hao Jian was nothing but a total lecher, first tapping her shoulder, then looking at her chest, then hugging, and now holding her hand. She couldn't take it any longer.
Hao Jian dodged the Moon's leg sweep, but the Moon didn't give him a moment's rest and immediately swung a punch at him. The punch carried a gust of wind, full of power. Hao Jian, with quick eyes and hands, directly grabbed her fist.
The Moon looked surprised. She knew how much strength she had put into that punch. Normally, no one would have the strength to directly catch her punch. She thought, it seems this pervert does have some skills.
But before she could make a move, Hao Jian prepared to bind her hands, but how could she let Hao Jian succeed? She quickly extricated herself and pulled her hands back from Hao Jian's grasp.
By this time, Hao Jian was completely sure that she was undoubtedly the Moon. This was how their arguments used to escalate into fights, and these were the moves the Moon often used against him.
Just as Hao Jian wanted to make another move, the Moon attacked him with her leg again, and Hao Jian, ignoring everything else, directly hugged her thigh.
The Moon tried to pull her leg out, but Hao Jian held onto it tightly, making it impossible to free herself.
The Moon said, "Let go of me!"
"No!" Hao Jian replied.
The Moon got angry and kicked her other leg towards Hao Jian, that sidekick was powerful, and Hao Jian dared not underestimate it. He immediately let go of the Moon's leg, and as he retreated, he accidentally got punched by the Moon.
The punch hit his chest, and he felt his heart twisting in pain.
If it were really the Moon, she wouldn't have the heart to hit him so hard, but the person in front of him was clearly the Moon. How could the Moon not recognize him anymore? What on earth happened during the time the Moon was missing?
At this point, Hao Jian realized that the Moon wasn't pretending, but truly didn't know who he was. This meant that the Moon's memory was gone; she had amnesia, which is why she seemed like a changed person.
But Hao Jian wouldn't give up so easily; he wanted to get to the bottom of it all.
Hao Jian said, "Moon, it's me, Hao Jian. You don't recognize me anymore? After you disappeared last time, I never saw you again. Where did you go during that time? How did you end up like this?"
The Moon only felt that Hao Jian's words were like trying to deceive her. What disappearance? She had never seen this stranger before. What was he talking about?
She was about to leave, but just as she started, Hao Jian grabbed her again.
"You can't leave, even if you have amnesia, you have to explain things to me!" Hao Jian said.
Amnesia?
The Moon grew more and more confused, looking at Hao Jian with a bewildered face, then considered him a total pervert, and swung several kicks at him again.
Hao Jian immediately raised his hand to block.
If the Moon didn't recognize him, it meant she didn't recognize anyone. At this point, the Moon had lost all of her previous memories.
Hao Jian looked at the Moon, deeply pained.
At this moment, because of the inexplicable fight between the two, a crowd had gathered around them, all watching the lively scene.
Hao Jian got back up, and the Moon immediately launched another attack at him.
This person had been pestering her from start to finish, she knew if she didn't resolve this completely, he wouldn't let her go, so she intended to fight Hao Jian until he was down.
But what puzzled her was that even though her skills were formidable, most couldn't defeat her, yet Hao Jian's strength matched hers.
It was a puzzling matter for her.
