Chapter 354: The Clothes That Betrayed Her

Inside the wooden cabin in the forest.

Her thoughts were completely drained, leaving only a buzzing sound.

‘Were these her things?’

She did not remember at all.

However, it was precisely because she ‘did not remember’ that things were becoming even worse!

According to the rules of her amnesia—she would only forget things related to the man before her, Chu Tian.

That meant these clothes, taken from her own Storage Space, were related to the man in front of her!

This deduction struck her heart like a bolt of lightning.

If everything her parents said was true… not only were she and this man a couple, but in private, she would… wear these clothes that made her blush just looking at them?

That maid outfit with minimal fabric.

Those bunny ears.

And that dancer’s dress made of translucent gauze and cold chains…

Had their relationship already progressed to this point?

The more Su Nian thought, the hotter her cheeks became. 

An indescribable sense of shame surged from the depths of her heart.

At the same time.

Chu Tian looked at the “evidence” Su Nian had dumped out. 

Catching sight of the girl’s shy expression, with her face red from her ears to her neck, the curve of his lips could no longer be suppressed.

A string had been plucked. 

To him, seeing this girl for the ‘first time’ after losing his memory, her peerless face and cold, arrogant temperament were lethally attractive.

Moreover, they were companions who had faced death together against a Demon General.

It was only logical that he would fall for her.

Adding her parents’ ‘testimony’ and the Magic Necklace that had undergone the Recognition State…

All signs pointed to the girl before him being his woman!

Furthermore, Su Nian clearly did not remember the clothes she had brought out.

This meant the clothes were related to him, the cause of her ‘amnesia’.

‘It seemed… we used to be quite adventurous in the past.’

Thinking of this, the tension at the corners of Chu Tian’s mouth finally broke, and an irrepressible chuckle escaped his throat.

“Heh!”

That light laugh sounded particularly harsh in the silent cabin.

Su Nian’s body stiffened.

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her fur stood on end.

‘Is this guy mocking me?! How infuriating!’

She did not believe it!

To the outside world, she was a radiant idol, a genius Magic Tutor looked up to by countless people, and the Star-Moon Saintess who had saved all of Academy City!

How could she possibly wear these… these things in private!

Something was definitely wrong!

Su Nian forced herself to look up, her chin slightly raised, putting on a cold, aloof posture like an iceberg.

However, the girl pursed her lips in frustration. 

The crimson on her cheeks that refused to fade completely betrayed the storm inside her.

Su Nian’s voice squeezed through her teeth, every word carrying suppressed shame.

“I… I would never wear such things!”

Her words were forceful, as if she were trying her best to convince Chu Tian, or even more so, herself.

“Hmm…”

Chu Tian drew out the sound, thoughtfully rubbing his chin. 

He actually nodded, his face showing a look of almost serious agreement.

There was no need to expose her directly.

After all, this was likely his woman; she was thin-skinned, so he had to take it slow.

But speaking with facts was always the most effective.

Chu Tian’s actions allowed Su Nian’s tense nerves to relax for a moment.

As long as he did not directly link these things to their relationship, there was still room for recovery.

‘Maybe… maybe it’s just a coincidence.’

Yes, it had to be.

Chu Tian did not look at her again. 

Instead, he slowly walked to the bed and squatted before the pile of clothes that could make any innocent girl’s brain crash, assuming an academic air of serious research.

His gaze swept over the fabric. 

Finally, he reached out and, using two slender fingers, cautiously pinched the strap of the black-and-white maid outfit, lifting it up.

“Let me state an objective fact.”

“Right?!”

Su Nian’s eyes instantly lit up. 

Like someone grasping at a straw, she nodded frantically.

‘See! Even he said so!’

This was definitely a misunderstanding; she was just scaring herself!

However, as Chu Tian spoke, he held the maid outfit toward Su Nian, comparing it from a distance.

His gaze drifted back and forth between the boldly cut garment and the graceful curves of Su Nian’s figure.

“But…” His tone suddenly shifted, “This size seems to be… exactly your size.”

-Boom!

These words were like a precision-guided lightning strike, hitting Su Nian square on the head.

She felt like her cheeks were not just hot anymore; they were being roasted over a fire. 

Her blood boiled and raced through her veins with a deafening roar.

‘Her size?’

Su Nian’s breath hitched, and her mind went completely blank.

Chu Tian seemed not to notice her reaction, continuing his ‘logical deduction’ to himself.

He let go, allowing the maid outfit to flutter back onto the bed, then picked up the pink bunny ear headband.

“Items taken from your Storage Space.”

“And clothes that fit perfectly…”

He was teasing the girl.

This bastard!

What did he mean?

He was definitely mocking her!

“You—!”

Su Nian’s rationality snapped completely, and anger washed away all her shame.

She lunged up from her chair, her body leaning forward as if she were about to pounce and use her fists to shut that annoying mouth.

“Wait, let me finish.”

Chu Tian immediately took a step back, just in time to avoid the range of her imminent attack, the calm smile still on his face.

“Since we both have amnesia, regardless of what memories were lost, searching for them together should be beneficial for both of us.”

“Oh, I also have a question to ask.”

He did not speak quickly, but he carried a logic that was hard to refute, forcibly pulling Su Nian’s spiraling emotions back.

Su Nian’s chest heaved violently. 

She glared at him before finally sitting back down heavily on a chair.

‘Fine!’

She wanted to hear what else this guy could come up with!

Chu Tian looked at her—clearly furious yet forced to sit and listen—and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Since Su Nian was thin-skinned and unwilling to admit the clothes were hers, it did not matter.

He had other ways!

“Do you remember… your previous residence in Academy City?”

Without waiting for Su Nian’s answer, he added: “Don’t say it out loud yet. Let’s each write it down on paper.”

He proposed his new method.

If they had been a couple, there was a high probability they lived together.

Even if they lost all memories related to each other, a long-term residence could not just turn into somewhere else in their memory.

As long as the locations they wrote down were the same…

‘Let’s see how she denies it this time!’
