Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1235: Chapter 1234: Definitely Not the Same Person

Sure enough, a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean. The me who says I love you today and the me who said I don’t love you yesterday clearly look exactly the same, yet it totally feels like they’re not the same person at all.

Gu Tong was having exactly that kind of feeling...

The way Xia Xi switches personalities is honestly terrifying; she really doesn’t know how Gong Chenli has managed to hold out till now.

Then again, maybe Gong Chenli is just into Xia Xi’s kind of personality—who knows. After all, everyone’s tastes are different; you can’t expect every single person’s love life to be exactly the same.

Gu Tong didn’t roast Xia Xi’s views on love; instead she went after her worldview. She said, ”These days, people all get buried in cemeteries when they die. Building a private cemetery is not only extravagant and wasteful, it’s actually illegal. Plus, bodies have to be cremated now. You’re already ash—what do you need so many burial goods for!”

”...” It actually sounded kind of reasonable; she couldn’t even find a way to argue back.

Xia Xi’s mouth twitched twice as she said, ”Sob sob sob... Xue Tongtong, you really don’t love me anymore, you are so not romantic, sob sob sob. If the Demon King were here, he’d definitely be coaxing me...

I’d bet anything that if the Demon King were here right now, he’d agree on the spot. Even if he had to spend a fortune to contract some uninhabited island, he’d still fulfill my girlish wish.”

”...” Fine, fine, fine, your Demon King is rich, we get it.

Gu Tong rubbed her temples and said, ”What do you even want an island for, are you planning to crawl out of your coffin or something? Besides, your guy spends a fortune to buy an island, that’s basically like drawing a treasure map and handing it to people so they can come dig it up!”

So it’s better to honestly pick a place with good feng shui, buy a grave, get cremated into ash, and be buried in peace.

”...” This conversation is impossible; we’re about to talk each other to death...

Xia Xi just felt like Gu Tong was some old witch with a silver needle in hand, viciously poking at her pink little girlish heart. With a loud ”bang,” all her thoughts turned to dust, and her girlish dreams shattered along with them.

As expected...

For anything involving money ruining feelings, she really should be going to the Demon King!!!

The Demon King, that ridiculously loaded guy, can totally satisfy all of her girlish fantasies!!!

And he can even think through all the precautions, so she doesn’t have to worry about anyone digging up her grave or anything like that.

Student Xia Xi stopped struggling and didn’t keep talking to Gu Tong about this kind of hard-core realistic stuff.

Instead, she changed the subject and said, ”Wait, how are we doing this?”

”???” Doing what???

Gu Tong knew this chick was trying to divert the topic, but did she have to be this stiff about it? Just blurting out a random line out of nowhere, completely disconnected from everything.

Xia Xi saw the doubt on Gu Tong’s face and said, ”Since we’re going to recover our memories, we have to do it one by one, so that if our bodies get out of balance, at least someone can take care of the other.”

For Xia Xi, this place wasn’t an Ancient Tomb at all, but a great spot for cultivation and meditation.

She wanted to enter this place and gradually look for the mechanism that would trigger their memories, doing it step by step, moving forward bit by bit.

Gu Tong pressed her lips together, thought for a moment, and said, ”You go first.”

Just now, her brain had a hallucination—memories that were totally fragmented, impossible to piece together.

She wasn’t in a rush to dig into them, choosing instead to let things take their natural course.

Maybe this is just human instinct—the urge to probe the limits of one’s own body.

For people like Gu Tong and Xia Xi, who have broken through their limits multiple times and know their bodies like the back of their hands, finding the pattern comes naturally.

”That works too.” Xia Xi was not polite at all; she patted her butt and stood up, then said, ”Oh right, give me a punch first!”
