After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli

Chapter 474 I want you to...live.

Because Yuan Zhuoyue was slightly shorter in height and his steps were not big, even though he was being pulled so hard, his steps seemed to be in a hurry.

Morax caught up with him easily, and only after walking side by side with Yuan Zhuoyue did Morax bow his head slightly and said, "Didn't you have enough fun with Ruotu and Guizhong the other day?"

"That's different. You are you and he is them." Yuan Zhuoyue fiddled with the bamboo bird with one hand. He gently supported the bird's belly, making it look like it was spreading its wings and flying. It swayed left and right in his palm with the rhythm of his steps.

Then she said casually, "What's more, when they were with me, I could feel that they were staring at me very closely. It was a bit too nervous... It was as if they were worried that I would turn into some kind of demon in the blink of an eye."

At this point, Yuan Zhuoyue raised his head and met Morax's eyes that were like molten gold at sunset, revealing a gentle and sweet smile: "Will you do the same, Morax?"

Morax met her gaze and then explained slowly, "Whether it is Ruotu and Guizhong, or the immortals in Liyue, they all have no opinions about you. On the contrary, they are very grateful for what you have done during your time in Liyue... What they are worried about is the unknown that cannot be explored."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhuoyue tilted his head slightly, as if thinking about it, and after a moment he smiled softly: "Then... what's the difference?"

Then she raised their hands, which seemed to be very intimate, with their fingers interlocked, and smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "Besides, you didn't deny the questions I asked... You don't trust me as much as you appear to."

"I thought we were very close." The elongated ending was followed by a slightly tender "Morax."

Morax's expression did not change significantly, and he did not try to defend himself.

He just said calmly as always: "I don't deny that there is indeed some gap between you and me."

"You're being very tactful." Yuan Zhuoyue chuckled and raised his hand to gently tap his forehead: "...Although those scenes are like flowers in the fog, making it difficult for me to understand, what exactly happened between you and me in the past that you remember?"

"But..." Her originally cheerful voice suddenly became low at this moment, and a long and distant sigh seemed to escape from her lips and teeth: "What I saw, the scenes of swords clashing with you and blood and flesh flying everywhere, were indeed true."

"And...some of your behaviors have already made it obvious that the entanglement between you and me is not as trivial as you said." Yuan Zhuoyue was still holding Morax's hand with his fingers interlocked, but his expression was tinged with a hint of unconcealable worry: "You said you would tell me everything, and what you said...is like a short sentence recorded in history books. And buried behind it, who knows how much dust has been gently brushed away by time and disappeared without a trace."

"You told me, you seemed to have told me everything... but... " She seemed to just want to speak out her doubts, her worries, and her pent-up emotions, rather than wanting to get answers from Morax: "What kind of details are hidden behind those things, but you never told me a single thing... You said that one day I would completely recall these past memories, and you said you didn't want your overly subjective description to affect my judgment."

"Morax, I want to know..." At this moment, Yuan Zhuoyue looked at Morax, his words were sincere, and his voice seemed to be full of pleading: "Why don't you want to tell me? Is it because you can't tell me? Or do you dare not tell me?"

"I can feel that I am afraid of the memories that should belong to me. I am unwilling to accept them, nor am I willing to recall them. I am unwilling to accept the past that I don't know now, and I am unwilling to become the complete "me" in your memory." Yuan Zhuoyue made a request to Morax: "Then, can you please tell me what those experiences you witnessed in the past mean to me?"

Morax stared at her for a long time, and after taking a long breath, he said, "...If possible, I don't want you to remember the past."

"But those past events are also part of you... Only in this way can your existence continue." Morax said with an apologetic look: "I am not you, and I don't know what you are thinking, but my selfishness prompted me to do this, because I want you... to live."

Yuan Zhuoyue, who had been looking up at Morax, finally lowered his head after hearing these words.

As if she was in deep thought, when she looked up again after a while, all the overly superficial expressions on her face had been restrained.

It seemed as if the sad and pleading look of the wife before was just an illusion.

Yuan Zhuoyue immediately took another step forward, but found that Morax was standing still without moving an inch.

He gently tugged at their hands, signaling Morax to move quickly and keep up with his pace: "Let's go, why are you still standing here? I owed a lot of money on credit at Liyue Port. This is a big project. We may have to work on it for several days in a row."

Morax just nodded slightly, responded and followed the steps of Yuan Zhuoyue who was pulling him forward.

There were no excessive words, nor was there any intention to explore Yuan Zhuoyue's overly drastic change.

In his past interactions with Yuan Zhuoyue, Morax had become accustomed to Yuan Zhuoyue's ever-changing personality.

Compared to the moment before when he was chatting and laughing with him, the next moment he suddenly drew his weapon and stabbed at him.

In Morax's opinion, the changes that Yuan Zhuoyue is now showing are already quite peaceful and harmless.

At least she never hurt anyone, nor herself.

She simply expressed her dissatisfaction with being kept in the dark, and her fear of those memories that had not yet been revived and were still unknown to her.

This is what Morax was worried about. For Yuan Zhuoyue, who is a human being with human values, those memories that she has not yet recalled can definitely be regarded as a hidden danger that is enough to completely destroy her already unstable mental state.
