Shu Bai, wrapped in the bed curtains, suddenly sat up.
"A ladleful?" He pointed to the red marks on his neck. "This is a ladleful? This is a flood!"
"Oh my gosh~ it's raining rain!"
Shu Bai began to untie the knots in the bed curtains, her hands trembling.
"What does the young master intend to do?"
"Hanging".
Li Yuheng quickly pressed his hand down: "No, no, you mustn't."
Why?
"The bed curtains are made of ordinary material, not worthy of the prince's status."
Shu Bai stared at him.
Li Yuheng magically produced a white silk ribbon: "Use this, it's tribute-grade silk, soft and gentle on the skin."
Shu Bai took the white silk and touched it; it did indeed feel smooth.
He was silent for two seconds, then suddenly lunged forward and put the white silk around Li Yuheng's neck.
"I'll send you on your way first!"
Li Yuheng laughed as she dodged, "Murdering your own husband is unacceptable!"
He knew it.
Given Shu Bai's temperament, he would rather chase him for three miles with a knife than commit suicide.
If someone really wants to commit suicide, they'll definitely have to strangle him first to take the fall.
Ah, his damned, irresistible charm!
Shu Bai: "She's my wife! The marriage certificate says she's my wife!"
Not a male pervert, not a male pervert, not a male pervert!
"Then you murdered your own wife!"
Shu Bai's hand trembled, and the white silk fell to the ground.
He slumped on the edge of the bed, his eyes vacant.
"I want a divorce."
Li Yuheng picked up the white silk and carefully folded it: "It's no use. A ghost marriage cannot be dissolved; one can only be widowed."
Shu Bai's eyes lit up.
Li Yuheng added: "But I am already dead."
Shu Bai's eyes were dim.
Li Yuheng added, "And you can't kill me."
Shu Bai's gaze was completely extinguished.
He slowly lay down and pulled the bed curtains up to cover his face.
"Let me die quietly for a while."
…
From the moment he heard Li Yuheng say that he was wrong, Shu Bai's head began to throb.
It felt like someone had ripped open the top of my head, poured strong liquor down my throat without a word, then doused me with vinegar, and finally drizzled a spoonful of thick soy sauce.
A sour taste lingered in my drowsiness, mixed with an indescribable sense of confusion.
Countless unfamiliar images flickered like fragments, and he frowned, trying his best to grasp a clear image from them.
Li Yuheng leaned closer and poked his temple: "Your Highness, your brows are so furrowed they could trap a cockroach."
Shu Bai slapped his hand away: "I have a lot on my mind, it's all jumbled up."
“That’s normal.” Li Yuheng nodded knowingly. “After all, I tried so hard last night, I might have accidentally stuffed something in.”
"...Your name is Li Yuheng, right?"
Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow: "Wow, you've finally decided to call me by my name?"
"Could you," Shu Bai said, emphasizing each word, "be quiet for a while?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he froze.
Countless fragments of memory suddenly flooded in.
A quick transmigration scheme, missions, and this lunatic in front of me who calls himself "Prince".
I remember everything.
“Li Yuheng”.
"What do you mean, baby?"
It's quite difficult to hear you admit you're wrong.
"………What's the meaning?"
Shu Bai replied expressionlessly, "What do you think?"
Li Yuheng blinked, then suddenly gasped.
He lunged to the bedside, clutching his heart in his hands: "Baby! You've regained your memory?!"
"Don't call me baby."
"Good darling. You've finally remembered our shameless and glorious days!"
Shu Bai pressed his forehead, his fingertips pressing hard on his throbbing temples.
“Li Yuheng”.
"I'm here, baby."
Can you switch to a serious mode?
Li Yuheng instantly dropped all his playful smiles.
He straightened his clothes, his expression calm and composed, even his eyes became steady and profound.
“Yes, Mr. Shu Bai.” His voice was deep. “What would you like to talk about?”
The change was so sudden that Shu Bai was momentarily speechless.
Li Yuheng lowered his eyes, his fingertips tracing the red string on his wrist.
That was a miscalculation.
He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected that a simple "I was wrong" would be the password that would trigger the recovery of Shu Bai's memories.
If only I had known...
He should have tried more!
Shu Bai watched as Li Yuheng unconsciously started pinching his fingers and said calmly, "Don't be nervous."
Li Yuheng paused for a moment, then broke into a bright smile: "Why would I be nervous?"
"My fingers are about to fall off from being pinched so hard."
"This is hand exercise. It promotes blood circulation."
"Say what you will." Shu Bai looked up at Li Yuheng. "You know why I chose 'amnesia,' right?"
Li Yuheng sat up straight, his expression serious: "I know."
Shu Bai nodded slightly.
“You’ve always been good at simplifying complex problems,” he said calmly. “That’s a strength.”
Li Yuheng's eyes lit up.
“But sometimes being too simplistic can cause you to miss the key points,” Shu Bai continued, “like now.”
Li Yuheng touched his nose.
“I know all your habits. Including how you avoid problems. I also know how decisive you are when you solve them.” Shu Bai’s lips curled slightly. “That’s why I chose to wait for you to speak first.”
“Of course,” Shu Bai added slowly and deliberately, “that also includes your current thoughts on how to get away with it.”
Li Yuheng: "..."
"So, when are you going to answer my questions about that world?"
"...What problem? I forgot."
"My memory has returned, but it's not very stable." Shu Bai pretended to rub his forehead. "I might not be able to cooperate with your next 'mission'."
Li Yuheng immediately raised his hand, "...Let me organize my thoughts."
He took a deep breath.
It's here, it's here, the final judgment has finally arrived.
"The situation was special at the time regarding the phrase 'Come find me'."
How special?
"Very special."
Shu Bai nodded: "I understand. After all, it's a bit embarrassing for a dignified prince to be carried away like a chick."
"Who's the chick? I call that a strategic shift."
"Yes, we need to say something before moving on to save face."
Li Yuheng: "..."
He slumped his shoulders, resigned to his fate: "Yes, I just feel ashamed."
Why do you feel ashamed?
"If you see me in such a disheveled state, what will become of my noble and righteous image?"
Shu Bai raised an eyebrow: "You've had that kind of thing with me before?"
Li Yuheng was shocked: "I've always had it!"
"for example?"
"For example, me..."
Li Yuheng got stuck, quickly searched his memory, and found that it was all his embarrassing past jokes.
He decisively gave up the struggle.
"Okay, I didn't. But I still have to say something polite, otherwise it won't look impressive."
Shu Bai nodded: "So, 'Remember to come find me when you transform into human form' was just for show?"
Li Yuheng's eyes darted around: "...More or less."
"Not sincere? Just empty promises?"
"…right."
Shu Bai seemed thoughtful: "So when you confessed your feelings back then, it wasn't sincere?"
Li Yuheng immediately retorted: "I genuinely like him!"
He paused, then lowered his voice: "But...it's not that kind of liking."
Which one?
"It's not the kind of liking I have now."
After a brief silence, Shu Bai made his judgment: "...You were lustful."
“Yes…” Li Yuheng responded subconsciously, then suddenly looked up, “No, that’s not right either!”
Why is it all a dark history...?
There's no escaping it, there's absolutely no way to escape...
"...Shu Bai, I'm no longer a perfect male lead..."
Shu Bai calmly retorted, "Do you think I would care about that?"
Li Yuheng was taken aback.
Shu Bai looked at him calmly: "The Li Yuheng I know has never been a perfect person."
Li Yuheng blinked, then suddenly leaned closer: "So you don't think I was stupid back then?"
"stupid."
"……oh."
"But it's acceptable."
