Chapter 66 Good Looks Still Come in Handy

"He said you are very handsome, which is why you can help me." Chen Han blinked, her golden ponytail swaying gently with the tilt of her head, and her gaze towards Lin Xiao revealed satisfaction.

Lin Xiao: (눈‸눈)

I am a Memoryist, not a host.

What does the quality of my professional competence have to do with whether I am handsome or not?

The service I provide on-site is memory extraction, and I don't do that kind of work!

"Because the memory I want to clear... is a bit embarrassing." The tips of Chen Han's ears turned slightly red. "It's psychologically easier to accept a handsomer Memoryist."

Lin Xiao: "???"

That sounds like this job isn't entirely proper, does it?

However, Lin Xiao still politely asked, "May I know what kind of memory you wish to be cleared?"

Chen Han's voice grew softer and softer: "It's a memory of a conversation, a conversation between my best friend, Miss Ye, and me. This memory has made our interactions very awkward, and we can't return to the previous state of intimacy.

We both know neither of us was at fault, but it just feels strange. Therefore, we unanimously hope to clear this memory and return to our previous state of friendship."

"Could you be more specific?" Lin Xiao asked.

"It's just... private topics between girls..." Chen Han's cheeks flushed deeply. "About an ex-boyfriend..."

Lin Xiao: "..."

Alright, the boundaries and the sheer intensity of conversations between best friends are completely beyond what a man can imagine.

No matter how close men are, they never discuss the details of matters between the sheets.

Yet women have no inhibitions whatsoever; they truly dare to talk about anything.

So... could they possibly have been discussing their experiences in that regard?

Even if they discussed it, it shouldn't be so awkward that they can't get along, right?

"During the conversation, we discovered that the ex-boyfriend was the same person," Chen Han said.

Lin Xiao: "..."

What a classic, melodramatic story of sharing hardships and having sisters of one heart!

From that ex-boyfriend's perspective, I suppose it was a memory of multitasking with a single heart, achieving two goals at once...

This is indeed a bit awkward, but just how explosive was the topic you discussed to make your current interactions so unnatural?

"May I ask if the difficulty of extracting this memory stems from the content of your conversation?" Lin Xiao inquired.

He knew that Chen Han had already turned down several Memoryists, and there must be a reason behind this.

Chen Han shook her heads—no, shook her head: "It's mainly from two aspects. First, because of the need to empathize with this memory, the difficulty for a male Memoryist is higher, yet there isn't a single female Memoryist in all of Donghai City."

Lin Xiao nodded. The number of memory-attribute esperes was quite scarce, with fewer than five in the entire Donghai City, and all of them were male.

Although "Memory Control" was only a tier-two ability, the Heavenly Dao Divine Palace was constantly short of them, and it was unclear whether they were actively controlling the output of such mind-prying abilities.

As a male, trying to empathize with the awkwardness of Chen Han's private pillow-talk with her best friend might indeed be quite difficult.

Yet even if it was difficult, she could have let other Memoryists try; was there some other hidden reason?

So Lin Xiao asked, "And the second difficulty?"

"The second point is... that conversation took place while we were taking a bath together..." Chen Han left her sentence unfinished.

But Lin Xiao understood immediately. In that memory, both she and her best friend, Miss Ye, were completely naked.

If a Memoryist were to empathize with that memory, it would mean both of them would be seen inside and out.

A flash of insight crossed his mind, and Lin Xiao asked uncertainly, "Is this why you rejected the other Memoryists earlier?"

Chen Han's face flushed slightly, and she nodded. "If it's you, it's not too much of a loss; we can barely accept it."

Lin Xiao: "..."

Alright, he finally understood why Xu Tao emphasized his handsome appearance when introducing him.

Sigh~ If he were a bit uglier, would his mission have been declared a failure right on the spot today?

As expected, appearance is often a stepping stone; otherwise, no matter how strong one's professional competence is, it's useless.

He sighed and asked, "Since you agree, can we begin? Where is this Miss Ye?"

Chen Han immediately turned to the female housekeeper standing nearby and said, "Aunt Li, please call Xiao Wei over."

She turned back to explain to Lin Xiao, "She lives in the neighboring villa and can be here very quickly."

"Before we start, can you first tell me what exactly you talked about back then?" Lin Xiao tried to gather more information for the subsequent operation.

Chen Han's cheeks instantly turned fiery red. "Th-this is really impossible to say... You can experience it yourself in the memory in a moment."

Lin Xiao: (⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)

Although I am not a pervert, why am I inexplicably looking forward to this?

In less than five minutes, light footsteps sounded from the entrance.

A young girl wearing a white cashmere sweater walked in, the soft fabric clinging to her graceful figure and outlining breathtaking curves.

Beige casual trousers wrapped around her rounded legs, full of fleshiness.

This was a woman who could cause a man to suffer from cerebral ischemia at first glance.

Chen Han hurried forward and whispered a few words in Ye Wei's ear.

They saw Ye Wei's fair face instantly flush with color, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and finally, she nodded shyly.

The two girls sat side by side on the sofa opposite Lin Xiao.

Chen Han radiated youthful vigor, her long legs crossed, and her golden ponytail filled her with energy.

Ye Wei, on the other hand, was fair-skinned and gentle, giving off a tender, water-like impression.

"Mr. Lin." Chen Han's voice carried a hint of tremor. "Xiao Wei has also agreed; you may begin."

Lin Xiao breathed as relaxed as possible, gazing steadily at the two beauties.

Thinking of the images he was about to see in the memory, he felt his heartbeat accelerate beyond his control.

He struggled to banish distracting thoughts from his mind, telling himself at that moment to treat himself simply as a doctor and not let down the patient's trust.

"Which of you shall we start with?" Lin Xiao inquired.

"Eh?" *2

The two girls gasped in unison, looking at each other in dismay.

This memory display involved privacy and carried a strong sense of overwhelming embarrassment.

If possible, no one wanted to be responsible for displaying the memory.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Han spoke up, "Let's start with me."

She was the initiator of this matter and ought to take the lead.

Ye Wei did not back down either; she said earnestly, "Let me do it instead."

Lin Xiao thought to himself: Their foundation of affection is actually quite good; once the awkward memory is cleared, they will truly be able to get along well.

Thus, he grew all the more hopeful that he could help this pair of friends.

"Let's start with Chen Han then," Lin Xiao made his decision. "Please close your eyes."

Chen Han obediently closed her eyes.

Lin Xiao extended his right hand and gently pressed it against the back of her head.

Their consciousnesses connected instantly, and Lin Xiao arrived at her ocean of memories in a split second.

A pink memory marked by the owner leaped out from the ocean of memories.

Lin Xiao sank into it without the slightest hesitation...
