Chapter 99 Xiao Pei Recovers His Memory

Since Pei Heng didn't have any physical problems, after leaving the amusement park, Shen Shi decided not to return to the city. He found a place to stay nearby so that Pei Heng could have a good rest.

However, I didn't expect that the homestay I chose was also an antique building, with blue bricks, gray tiles, and flying eaves and corners. It was far smaller than the ancient houses in the amusement park, but it was also built in imitation of some ancient buildings in Chaoyang Palace.

Walking into the lobby of the B&B, you will feel a sense of time and space dislocation.

The receptionist is dressed in Hanfu and has a gentle smile. The interior decoration also strives to create an ancient style, with carved window lattices and antique palace lanterns for lighting. The light is soft but slightly dim.

As Pei Heng walked in, he felt the pain in his head become more obvious.

His face was a little pale, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked listless. He leaned lazily on Shen Shi and let him go through the check-in procedures.

Their room is on the second floor of the B&B. It is an independent suite, and the interior decoration is full of antique style.

There are huanghuali wood tables and chairs, a screen embroidered with landscape paintings, and a gauze curtain hanging over the bed.

Pei Heng forced himself to stay awake and quickly took a hot shower. After washing away his fatigue and cold sweat, he lay down on the bed and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.

His eyes were closed, but his consciousness was extremely active.

The feeling of wanting to burst out became stronger and stronger, as if countless blurry images and sounds were churning and colliding deep in my mind.

It felt bad, like the foggy feeling after a hangover.

Pei Heng opened his eyes and looked at the embroidered screen in front of the bed.

The screen is embroidered with the common picture of a boy asking questions under a pine tree.

Ancient pine trees, strange rocks, old man, and boy.

But as Pei Heng watched, the outline of the pine tree twisted and turned into the eaves of the palace wall.

The boy's smiling face blurred into the eunuch's frightened expression.

The image of the old man seemed to overlap with Lao Pei's haggard face.

Pei Heng: “…”

It's a bit scary, Xiao Pei.

He closed his eyes, shook his head, and felt so tired that he just wanted to fall asleep immediately.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Shen Shi wiped his half-dry hair with a towel. Seeing Pei Heng curled up on the bed, seemingly about to fall asleep, he slowed down his footsteps.

Pei Heng heard the noise and opened his eyes reluctantly. Seeing Shen Shi coming out, he asked vaguely, "...Where are you going? Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

Shen Shi walked to the bedside, leaned over and touched Pei Heng's forehead. It was slightly cool to the touch, and there was no sign of fever.

But seeing the lingering fatigue and discomfort between his brows, she softened her voice with a distressed look, "I'll go ask the front desk if they have any painkillers, and then have them prepare some light midnight snacks. We didn't eat much at the amusement park last night."

Pei Heng just wanted to sleep now and had no interest in food or medicine.

He reached out and patted the empty space beside him, his eyes as sleepy as a cat in desperate need of comfort.

"I'll eat after I wake up... I'm very sleepy and I want to sleep now."

Shen Shi has always had no principles or bottom line towards his own prince.

"Okay, I won't go. I'll go to sleep now." Shen put down the towel, lifted the quilt and lay down in it.

He lay down and put himself into Pei Heng's arms. Pei Heng caught him steadily and held him in his arms.

Shen Shi kissed the corner of his lips, "Okay, go to sleep."

Pei Heng rested his forehead against Shen Shi's, returned the sleepy kiss, and then relaxed and wrapped his arms around his waist.

This was undoubtedly the night when Pei Heng slept the deepest.

He even felt his consciousness become light, detached from his heavy body, floating in the darkness, comfortable and cozy.

—

I slept until noon.

Pei Heng woke up and felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He felt relaxed and his mind was clear. He moved slightly and found that Shen Shi was still sleeping in his arms.

Perhaps because he had played all day yesterday, Chen Shi slept very soundly. It was a rare occasion that he did not get up early, and he lay lazily on my chest.

Pei Heng quietly looked at the sleeping face of the person in his arms.

He stretched out his hand, and gently touched Shen Shi's forehead with his fingertips, then slid down and stopped at the end of his crimson eyes, lingering there, caressing them gently and lovingly.

The itchiness made Shen Shi's eyelashes tremble, and he rubbed Pei Heng's fingertips with his cheek. Seeing that he woke up, he reached out and touched his forehead, "Does your head still hurt?"

Pei Heng looked at Shen Shi for a long time, then touched his forehead.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"It seems... I've never been so awake before."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi carefully looked at his face and found that he was no longer as pale and tired as he was yesterday. Only then did he feel relieved and prepared to get up.

Pei Heng also sat up and looked at Shen Shi, who had his back to him. He picked up the clean clothes at the end of the bed and put them on. He had a slender waist and a long neck.

Pei Heng raised his hand and gently pressed it on his heart.

—

The restaurant of the B&B downstairs is also decorated in an elegant and exquisite style, with a courtyard view of a small bridge and flowing water outside the window.

Zhou Jingming held the steaming hot soup noodles and slurped them up.

Chen Yu sat opposite him, drinking soy milk slowly.

Huo Xiao answered a phone call in the corner of the restaurant. It was from the army, urging him to return to the team as soon as possible because there was an urgent mission.

Ling Yue was eating breakfast and glanced at Huo Xiao several times out of the corner of his eye as if inadvertently.

Zhou Jingming looked around, picked up the bowl of noodles very tactfully, and quietly moved to the position next to Chen Yu, leaving Ling Yue with a clearer view.

Huo Xiao came back after answering the phone with a serious expression on his face.

He sat down opposite Ling Yue and picked up his chopsticks. Before he could speak, Ling Yue asked, "Do you have a mission?"

"Yeah," Huo Xiao nodded and took a mouthful of porridge. "I'm in a hurry. I have to leave after I finish eating."

Ling Yue didn't say anything else. He lowered his head and ate silently, chewing slower.

Pei Heng and Shen Shi walked down the stairs one after the other.

Pei Heng changed into comfortable casual clothes, his face was rosy and his eyes were clear, completely different from the listless look he had yesterday.

Seeing them coming down, Zhou Jingming immediately waved, "Pei Hengheng, this way! I left some food for you!"

The waiter quickly brought the prepared side dishes and snacks.

Pei Heng slowly drank a mouthful of warm porridge, then put down the spoon and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.

"I've recovered my memory."

There was silence in the restaurant for a few seconds.

Zhou Jingming's mouth was half open, with a noodle hanging from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Chen Yu blankly, "Pei Hengheng has lost his memory?"

Chen Yu was a little dazed, "...previous life."

Zhou Jingming: "I am Cao."

Huo Xiao looked at Pei Heng in astonishment, and Ling Yue raised his head sharply with his pupils contracted.

Shen Shi slowly turned his head and looked at Pei Heng's profile.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice and falls on Pei Heng's eyebrows.

The eyes carry the weight of hundreds of years of soul.

Shen Shi was immediately overwhelmed by bitterness, relief, and indescribable joy.

He opened his mouth, but lost his voice for a moment and could only stare at Pei Heng without blinking.

Across the torrent of life, death and oblivion.

They finally met again, truly and completely.
