The Amnesiac Omega Who Reels Me In Every Day – Chapter 80
by Little PandaWanting Time to Stop at the Moment Jiang Jinyi Loved Her Most
Jiang Jinyi immediately went to ask the staff here if they’d seen Jiang Youwan. The staff member said they’d seen her heading into the woods a few minutes ago.
This was up in the mountains—beyond the farmstay’s grounds, there were no streetlights anywhere. It was pitch-black and silent.
Relying only on moonlight and her phone’s flashlight, Jiang Jinyi ran in the direction the staff member had pointed. Xu An and Ji Xiaoqin were bewildered, but they could tell something was wrong. Afraid something might happen to her, they followed close behind.
“Jiang Youwan!” Jiang Jinyi shouted her name as she ran, her eyes full of anxiety. Her heart was honest—it was terrified for Jiang Youwan’s safety, more afraid than ever before.
She understood. She was filled with regret. She knew that if something truly happened to Jiang Youwan tonight, she would be in agony—no better off than before.
Jiang Youwan deserved her rightful punishment, not to just die like this.
Jiang Jinyi couldn’t worry about Xu An and Ji Xiaoqin behind her. She ran fast, leaving them behind. Ji Xiaoqin suddenly stopped and turned her head, whispering to Xu An, “An’an, I think I hear dogs barking over there…”
“Could it be… could it be those dogs I saw earlier? They looked really fierce. Will Miss be okay going there?” Ji Xiaoqin asked worriedly.
Xu An frowned, deep in thought, trying to recall something.
“Is it Huo Qi?” Xu An murmured, not entirely certain. She clenched her fists, her expression tense and full of worry.
“Let’s hurry and catch up. We can’t let Xiao Jin get hurt.”
Not knowing which direction to go, Jiang Jinyi searched aimlessly through the woods, anxious and lost. She called Jiang Youwan’s phone as she searched, but all she got was the suffocating sound of an unanswered ring.
She couldn’t think about anything else. She called the police.
This desperate, life-or-death panic—she didn’t know how long it had been building inside her. In this moment, Jiang Jinyi only wanted to find her, to save her. Everything else had been pushed to the back of her mind.
Grudges and grievances couldn’t exist in her heart right now.
Finally, she spotted a figure in the woods not far away. That silhouette, that waist-length hair—Jiang Jinyi recognized Jiang Youwan at a glance.
Her pounding heart finally eased, as if everything had been redeemed. Jiang Jinyi bent over, hands on her knees, gasping for breath. She wanted to call out to her, but her lungs ached too much to shout. She didn’t dare linger—she forced herself to run toward her.
She was so afraid that this person would vanish into the night.
“Jiang Youwan, Jiang Youwan…” Jiang Jinyi called out between gasps. Finally, the woman heard her voice and turned to look over.
Jiang Jinyi heard the person call out, “Xiao Jin.”
It was Jiang Youwan’s voice…
At the same moment, a fierce bark rang out from the woods behind Jiang Youwan. In the darkness, a pair of eyes glinted with cold light—then two pairs, three…
Jiang Jinyi froze. Immediately after, several massive vicious dogs leapt from the woods, all targeting Jiang Youwan.
“Watch out!” Jiang Jinyi’s pupils contracted. Without thinking, she rushed forward and grabbed her wrist, trying to pull her away, but the dogs were too fast. They pounced in an instant, and the two of them fell to the ground. In a flash, they were surrounded on all sides by vicious dogs—no way out.
Jiang Youwan looked up at Jiang Jinyi, no tension or fear in her eyes, just a faint ripple in her gaze.
As if being bitten to death in this moment wouldn’t matter.
Those dogs were each bigger than wolves, impossibly strong. As they closed in, Jiang Jinyi trembled and held Jiang Youwan tightly, shielding her in her arms without a second thought. She screamed toward the sky, “Huo Qi!”
In this moment, Jiang Jinyi only wanted her to be well.
Only wanted her to be safe.
The lead dog lunged. Jiang Jinyi’s heart stopped. In that same instant, someone from the other side shouted, “Halt!”
At the command, the pack of dogs immediately obeyed and stopped their attack.
Jiang Youwan was held tightly in Jiang Jinyi’s arms—her heart protected along with her. It was so warm.
Feeling her desperate trembling, seeing the vicious dogs that had now stopped their attack, Jiang Youwan gently stroked her back. She gave a signal to the subordinates hidden in the woods, then parted her lips and said softly, “Don’t be afraid…”
Jiang Jinyi was still in shock. As long as those dogs didn’t leave, she held Jiang Youwan tight, shielding her with everything she had.
“Jiang Jinyi, have you lost your mind?”
That sharp voice—Jiang Jinyi recognized it as Huo Qi. She turned to look, and sure enough, it was Huo Qi’s contorted face. She warned her, “Huo Qi, I’ve changed my mind. I’ve already called the police. Take your dogs and get the fuck out!”
Seeing Jiang Jinyi protect Jiang Youwan like this, the fury in Huo Qi’s heart blazed hotter. She gnashed her teeth, furious at Jiang Jinyi’s foolishness. “Jiang Jinyi, have you forgotten she’s your mother’s killer?! Your mother is watching from above—do you think you’re doing right by her?”
“Whether I’m doing right by her or not is not for you to judge.” Jiang Jinyi’s voice shook. “Get your dogs away from here, now!”
The more Jiang Jinyi protected Jiang Youwan, the fiercer the fire burned in Huo Qi’s heart. She gave an order, and several men rushed out from the woods. At that moment, Xu An arrived, shouting, “Huo Qi, stop!”
Ji Xiaoqin was terrified seeing so many dogs. Xu An shielded Ji Xiaoqin behind her, glaring at the dogs, her expression full of frustration.
“Heh…” Huo Qi laughed, madness in her eyes. “Xiao Jin, since you’ve already brought her here, no matter what, I’ll help you deal with her today. If you regret now, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”
“Huo Qi, I’m telling you, I’ve already called the police!”
“Called the police?” Huo Qi sneered. “Deep in the mountains—how long do you think it’ll take for the police to get here?”
“This is my territory.”
Huo Qi stepped closer, and the vicious dogs growled and closed in as well. Jiang Jinyi knew Huo Qi wouldn’t actually hurt her, so no matter how Jiang Youwan tried to comfort her or struggle, she refused to let go.
“Freeze! Hands up!” At that moment, several plainclothes officers with guns emerged from the woods. Huo Qi startled, instinctively trying to flee, but when she turned around, she was already staring down a gun.
She stared wide-eyed, stunned, at Jiang Youwan.
Jiang Youwan looked at her shattered expression and had no time to offer her any reaction or words. She slipped back slightly from Jiang Jinyi’s arms, ruffled her hair, and said with utmost tenderness, “The police are already here. No need to be afraid anymore, hmm?”
“The police…” Jiang Jinyi took a heavy breath, still shaken. Seeing officers with actual guns, she finally let out a small breath of relief.
That was too close.
Thankfully—thankfully, the warmth in her arms and the scent of datura made her feel safe.
Huo Qi was taken away by the police. Jiang Jinyi’s mind was still in a daze. By the time she came back to her senses, Jiang Youwan was already leading her out of the police station.
The cold pre-dawn wind hit her face, clearing Jiang Jinyi’s head. She shook her head, and felt Jiang Youwan guide her hand into her coat pocket—so warm.
She didn’t pull away. They just walked like that.
They were both exhausted, and it was already very late. Instead of heading back to Luo City, they went to a decent inn at the foot of the mountain.
Xu An and Ji Xiaoqin had already arrived ahead of them.
Ji Xiaoqin had already gone back to her room to sleep, while Xu An sat in the first-floor lobby, as if waiting for someone.
Finally, she saw Jiang Jinyi and Jiang Youwan walk in holding hands. She stood up and called out to her.
“Xiao Jin!”
“Xu An.” Jiang Jinyi stopped.
“Are you hurt?” Xu An started—”I wanted to—”
Jiang Youwan cut in, cold yet polite, “No injuries. I’ve already checked. Thank you for your concern, Miss Xu.”
Xu An always felt a bit intimidated around Jiang Youwan. Sensing that she didn’t want her talking to Jiang Jinyi right now, she blinked. Jiang Jinyi also said, “I’m fine, Xu An.”
Xu An swallowed the words she’d wanted to say. “That’s good, then.”
“Get some rest early.”
They went to the front desk to check in, but there was only one double room left. After getting the room card and opening the door, the moment Jiang Jinyi stepped inside, Jiang Youwan seized her wrist, pulled her deeper into the room, and shut the door. She pressed her against the wall, desire impossible to contain—not a second more to wait. One hand braced against the wall, the other cradled her head, and tilting her own head up slightly, she kissed her.
Perhaps it was the sheer panic, the overwhelming relief of having her back—Jiang Jinyi didn’t refuse. She wrapped her arms around her waist, and they shared a deep, lingering kiss right there against the door where they could hear every sound from outside.
Desire swelled, intoxicating beyond measure.
On the sofa, Jiang Youwan straddled Jiang Jinyi’s lap, cupping her face as she kissed her. Things were about to go further, but remembering that the soundproofing here was poor and Jiang Jinyi must already be exhausted, she held herself back. When they parted, both their lips glistened, slick and intimate.
Jiang Youwan’s eyes held satisfaction and love. Looking at Jiang Jinyi’s dazed, desire-hazed eyes, she resisted the desire to kiss her again. She cupped her cheeks, her touch so gentle—as if she were looking at the most precious, most adorable baby in the world.
She murmured softly, “Xiao Jin was so brave today, protecting jiejie with your body.”
Jiang Jinyi didn’t know how to respond. She gave a a dazed little “Mm.”
So obedient.
Jiang Youwan couldn’t resist pressing a kiss to her cheek, then whispered against her ear, “Thank you. You let jiejie know that you love me even more than jiejie imagined.”
She had considered that Jiang Jinyi might regret it, might be heartbroken—but she hadn’t expected her to come find her so quickly. To shield her with her own body before all those vicious dogs, without regard for her own life.
The moment Jiang Jinyi held her, Jiang Youwan felt her entire being redeemed. Her heart leapt with joy—and with something sick, she wanted time and life to just stop in that moment forever. To freeze forever at the moment when Jiang Jinyi loved her most.
Let everyone remember. Let everyone see—how Jiang Jinyi loved her.
Loved Jiang Youwan more than she’d imagined.
That sentence pierced Jiang Jinyi’s heart, jolting her from her daze.
She was irritated. Guilty. She loathed herself right now.
She wanted to say something cruel and hurtful again—like: I don’t love you. I just didn’t want to be tainted. I just didn’t want you to die so easily. You shouldn’t just die on this mountain with no one knowing why—you should go to prison and receive your rightful punishment under the eyes of the world.
But she knew Jiang Youwan wouldn’t believe it. Why would she?
She’d already proven it herself.
Just how much she loved her.
“So what if I love you?” She seemed to be asking Jiang Youwan, yet also seemed to be murmuring to herself.
The love was real. The hatred was real, too.
She didn’t want her to just die like this, but she wanted her to receive her rightful punishment. She wanted her to pay the price.
Jiang Youwan didn’t want to hear this. She said softly, “Letting jiejie know you love me is enough.”
They held each other a while longer. Jiang Youwan glanced at the two beds—this kind of small-town inn wouldn’t have the best cleaning standards. Xiao Jin had delicate skin; an allergic reaction would be troublesome.
Instead of getting off Jiang Jinyi, she shifted and toppled them both onto the sofa, letting her lie in her arms, using her as a pillow.
“Xiao Jin had a scare today. You might have nightmares. Jiejie sleeping with you will keep them away.”
Jiang Jinyi was too tired. She didn’t have the energy to argue anymore.
She nuzzled closer, found a more comfortable position, and slowly closed her eyes.
This posture was just like five years ago—also in a small inn like this, Jiang Youwan holding her when she complained the bed was dirty, letting her sleep on top of her, shielding her from the grime.
Jiang Youwan’s doting on her had never diminished by even a fraction.
She couldn’t help thinking—if Jiang Youwan had loved her this much back then, loved her enough to put herself in danger, even risk her life for her—then why did she do something unforgivable?
Why couldn’t things just have been good?
Jiang Youwan was right—being held by her, she wouldn’t have nightmares.
But waking up tomorrow would bring a new nightmare.
Back in Luo City, the effects of the last marking had largely worn off. Jiang Jinyi had started refusing intimate contact with Jiang Youwan again—no kissing, no hugging, sleeping together was out of the question. She wouldn’t eat home-cooked meals, insisting on ordering takeout to hurt her feelings.
Jiang Youwan was patient and gentle. She didn’t get angry.
She simply treated it as her little girlfriend throwing a tantrum.
Let her sulk for a while. Soon enough, she wouldn’t even have the chance to throw tantrums or give her the cold shoulder.
That night, Jiang Jinyi’s unexpected appearance had disrupted Jiang Youwan’s worst-case plan, making her want to spend every single moment bound together with her.
To fuse their bodies together more quickly, Jiang Youwan had been feeding her milk in the middle of the night—and aphrodisiacs.
She’d also thrown away every suppressant and suppressant patch in the house. The custom cage was ready. Everything—absolutely everything—was being set in motion in secret.
She kept fantasizing about how Xiao Jin would beg her for a marking when her sensitive period hit.
How she’d lose herself completely, day and night, with her.
Ah, she couldn’t wait.

We haven’t reached the real angst yet.
