Lin Huanhuan stammered, “W-Who are you?”

She thought the man in front of her looked familiar, but for some reason, she couldn’t remember where she’d seen him before.

Sang Ye stared at her for a long time before suddenly laughing at himself. “So, you’ve already forgotten about me?”

Lin Huanhuan was very nervous. “I really don’t remember you. Why don’t you give me a hint?”

However, Sang Ye did not seem to hear her. He continued, “You promised me that you would come back to find me. I waited for you in the cave for a long time until the snow outside melted and the flowers bloomed, but you still didn’t come back…”

Lin Huanhuan looked confused.

She really couldn’t remember.

Sang Ye’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. “You lied to me!”

Lin Huanhuan was shocked. She instinctively sensed danger and turned to run.

However, before she could take a step forward, Sang Ye had already caught up to her!

His upper body was human, but his lower body was actually a snake!

The huge snake’s body was in the river. It was dark-colored, so Lin Huanhuan had not noticed it at all.

The moment she was about to escape, the snake tail emerged from the water and quickly stretched out like an arrow, sweeping Lin Huanhuan up.

The cold snake body surrounded Lin Huanhuan, and the faint smell of water filled her nose. She struggled in fear. “Let go of me!”

“I’m not letting go.”

Sang Ye took her into his arms and licked her face with his scarlet snake tongue.

Then, his expression changed.

She smelled of other males, and it was very strong.

The last time he saw her, the smell of the two males was still very vague. Now, it was dozens of times stronger!

He questioned angrily, “Have you mated with them?!”

His gaze was as cold as a knife. Lin Huanhuan was trembling in fear. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“While I was waiting for you to return, you actually mated with others behind my back!”

Sang Ye was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Lin Huanhuan was shocked and afraid. She tried to push him away, but she was too weak. She was no threat to Sang Ye.

She couldn’t deal with Sang Ye, so she could only shout, “Help!”

She hoped she hadn’t gone so far away that Shuang Yun wouldn’t hear her cries for help.

Unfortunately, Sang Ye did not give her the chance. He carried her and quickly left the riverbank, swimming deeper into the forest.

Lin Huanhuan punched and bit him, but she couldn’t hurt him at all. The beast’s skin was too thick, and her white teeth couldn’t bite him at all.

Her fear grew. “Where are you taking me?” she asked, terrified.

“Home.”

Clearly, the ‘home’ he mentioned was not Rock Mountain.

Lin Huanhuan was brought to a cave. It was spacious and tidy.

This was the ‘home’ that Shuang Yun had mentioned.

Sang Ye placed her on the dry and soft grass. His huge snake tail turned into legs.

He asked coldly, “Do you remember this place?”

Lin Huanhuan looked around and felt that this place looked familiar, but it was the same as the male beast in front of her. While he and this place felt familiar, she couldn’t remember. She couldn’t help but frown. “I really don’t remember.”

Sang Ye reached out and hooked the black gem necklace around her neck with his finger. “Then do you remember how you got this necklace?”

Lin Huanhuan looked at the diamond-shaped black gem pendant. A familiar image flashed across her mind.

But when she tried to get a better look, the image was gone.

She covered her head. “I seem to remember, but I don’t think I remember…”

Sang Ye lifted her chin and forced her to look at him.

“I gave you this necklace.”

Lin Huanhuan opened her lips slightly and looked at him in surprise. “You…”

Sang Ye bent down and looked into her eyes. “You promised me that you would come back for me, but you never came back. Not only did you deceive me, but you also mated with others behind my back.”

“I don’t—”

“You don’t need to deny it or make excuses because you’re no different from those people. You’re all liars.”

Lin Huanhuan sensed danger and subconsciously dodged back, trying to distance herself from this gloomy male beast.

However, this small action of hers immediately became a fuse that completely ignited the anger in Sang Ye’s heart.

Even now, she wanted to leave!

Did she hate him that much?!

He had clearly tried his best to protect her!

Why was she still unwilling to stay?

Could he not exchange his wounds for the other party’s sincerity?!

Sang Ye grabbed Lin Huanhuan’s shoulder and suddenly opened his mouth, revealing his sharp fangs as he bit her neck!

Lin Huanhuan’s face turned pale from the pain, and her body couldn’t help but tremble.

In a flash, she seemed to remember something.

…

‘My name is Sang Ye. What’s yours?

‘Be my mate. I’ll be good to you.

‘Give me ten days. If you can like me in ten days, we’ll be mates.

‘I don’t need you to be single-minded. I just want to be by your side.

‘It’s a divine stone my mother left me. Keep it close to you. I can sense your safety through it.

‘Be careful. I’ll be here waiting for you.’

…

Lin Huanhuan’s eyes widened. Her vision gradually blurred, but the images in her mind became clearer.

She remembered.

Sang Ye got injured in order to save her, yet she left him alone.

She had promised to come back and save him.

But she forgot about it because she was sick.

She’d left him alone in this cold cave.

He was injured and could not leave. He could only wait here for her to return.

But she broke her promise.

She did not return until winter passed and spring came.

Lin Huanhuan didn’t dare to think about how Sang Ye survived. Guilt overwhelmed her, making her heart ache.

She risked having her neck bitten off and raised her trembling hands to try and hug the beast in front of her.

Tears fell.

“I’m sorry…”

Sang Ye paused slightly. He felt hot tears fall on his face. It was a temperature he could never have.

He pulled out his fangs and looked up to see Huanhuan looking at him with tears in her eyes.

He couldn’t help but be stunned.

The snake venom made her limbs go weak and her vision go black. She bit the tip of her tongue and used the pain to barely maintain her consciousness.

She hugged Sang Ye and cried, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have forgotten you. It’s all my fault. I…”

Before she could finish, Sang Ye’s expression suddenly changed.

He hugged Lin Huanhuan and rolled on the ground, avoiding the sneak attack from behind!

Shuang Yun was finally here!
