Chapter 111, The Real Qi Yao
She made an appointment with him, then broke it. Not only that, she also asked her sister Qi Yao to meet him in her place?
"You two met..." She heard her voice was extremely dry, cautiously testing her forgotten past, "Did she say anything?"
Recalling what happened that night, Chu Yuan muttered, "She didn't say anything, just told me I recognized the wrong person, and told me that the person I had been dating all along was you."
It rained heavily that night. He dodged the killers and spies hired by his uncle and braved the heavy rain to meet her at the agreed place.
Because of hatred and confusion about the future, the emotions that were suppressed in his chest completely burst out after seeing her.
He kissed her fiercely, and then she slapped him mercilessly.
Her voice was cold, and she ruthlessly tore the truth in front of him: "Chu Yuan, you recognized the wrong person."
The girl was just a few feet away, and on her familiar face was a cold expression that he was not familiar with.
He covered his face and looked at her blankly, hesitant: "Are you...Qi Yao?"
Before their first meeting, he had briefly looked through the information of the two sisters and had long been suspicious of Qi Yuan's identity. Now that he saw the real Qi Yao, he was completely confirmed in his guess.
"Yes, I'm Qi Yao, the real Qi Yao." The girl looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "Chu Yuan, your fiancée has never been me, but my sister Qi Yuan—it was she who arranged the marriage with you on my behalf, even though I didn't want one. She should have been the one meeting you today."
After the brief conversation, his mind gradually calmed down.
Squinting his eyes at the girl across from him, he curled his lips into a mocking smile: "I'm meeting my girlfriend—excuse me, Miss Qi Yao, who doesn't want to be married, why are you here?"
Undeterred by his cold gaze, the girl stood very straight, folded her arms across her chest, raised her chin slightly, and looked back at him without any hesitation - the aloof and indifferent aura of the Qi family's heir.
This is the real Qi Yao.
Unlike the girl who carefully treated stray dogs and insisted on asking him to go to the amusement park and watch a movie, Qi Yao, the heir of the Qi family, is cold and sharp, like a blade drawn from its sheath, and people dare not underestimate her.
Letting him look at her, Qi Yao said coldly: "Chu Yuan, don't worry about Qi Yuan. You are now desperate. If you don't want to drag Qi Yuan down, just do as I say."
"Your words?" He laughed instead of getting angry at the cold warning. "Heir of the Qi family, what advice can you give me?"
"You are not allowed to continue to pester Qi Yuan. I will arrange for someone to send you away from China."
"Send me away? Qi Yao, my father committed suicide in prison, and my family was destroyed. You know who did it, don't you?" He sneered, "What makes you think I would believe you?"
"Do you still have any choice?" the girl said sharply, "Chu Yuan, if you don't believe me, you will still have no way out."
He was silent.
What she said was the truth. After the Chu family fell into decline, his former partners, friends, and even relatives all took advantage of his misfortune. Now he really had no one to rely on and no one to trust.
"Chu Yuan, I don't have much time. You have five minutes to think about it."
She glanced at her watch, leaned against the wall, and waited for his response.
Then, he chose to believe her.
Maybe it was because of the face that looked similar to Qi Yuan, or maybe... it was just because he really had nowhere to go.
"My sister... Qi Yao sent you abroad?" After asking this question, Qi Yuan realized how stupid his question was.
He went abroad, so how could he have spent four years in a laboratory living a life worse than death?
The girl fell into an even longer silence.
Chu Yuan didn't say much, just hugged her tightly and whispered, "Go to sleep." He kissed her earlobe and said softly, "Good night, Qiyuan."
Qi Yuan didn't fall asleep immediately. She thought of the notebook and the fragments that had appeared in her mind before, which she didn't know whether they were memories or fantasies.
The girl had a vague answer in her mind.
She closed her eyes, turned over and cuddled closer to his arms: "Chu Yuan."
"Um?"
She raised her head and kissed him gently: "I'm sorry."
The man slowly opened his eyes, a complicated look in his eyes: "No need to apologize, it wasn't your fault in the first place."
"sorry."
She repeated it, hooked her arms around his neck, and kissed him hard, with a bit of ferocity.
Aroused by her, the man turned over and pressed her down, smiling maliciously: "I see you are in good spirits, Qi Yuan."
The girl stiffened, but did not look away as usual.
An unevasive gaze is a tacit agreement on something.
Chu Yuan clearly received her thoughts and sighed, leaning over to breathe close to her: "Qi Yuan, I'm very sad when you are like this. My whole body, inside and out, is sad."
She opened her mouth to speak, but he didn't give her the chance and kissed her again.
…
Qi Yuan, who had been tossed around all night and hadn't slept much, went to the laboratory to find Chen Yao at noon the next day with a pair of panda eyes.
"Finally here?" Shen Yao came out of Laboratory No. 3, took off her gloves and handed them to the assistant, then led her into the office. "I thought we had to wait until this afternoon."
Qi Yuan's cheeks flushed slightly and he apologized in a low voice.
Shen Yao waved her hand: "It's okay, I just said it casually. I was also very busy this morning - Chu Yuan didn't come with you?"
"He's at the door and hasn't come in."
"Huh? Why don't you come in? Are you afraid I'll eat him?"
"No." Qi Yuan smiled bitterly, "A lot of bad things happened in the past. If I can recover my memory, I need time to sort out my thoughts. I don't want to face him right away."
Chen Yao expressed her understanding: "First of all, I'm not completely sure I can find the problem and help you recover your memory."
"I know." She bowed solemnly again, "Please."
"You're welcome."
…
Because he was drunk, Si Xu was not as alert as usual when he woke up. He was stunned for two seconds, then turned his head stiffly and looked into the girl's dark eyes.
Jiang Ran lay on the edge of the bed, holding her chin with her hands and looking at him, waiting for him to wake up.
"Good morning, Si Xu."
The girl had a gentle smile and a soft voice, and the man's anger that had risen up due to confusion was silently soothed.
He raised the corners of his lips slightly and replied to her in a low voice: "Jiang Ran, good morning."
Jiang Ran looked at him: his speech was clear, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be completely sober.
Stretching his arms, which had become stiff from sitting for so long, Jiang Ran probed him: "Si Xu, you were drunk last night. Do you remember what you did?"
Si Xu, who stood up to straighten his clothes, shook his head as if to say, "If you remember, you're not really drunk."
Judging from his tone, he wasn't surprised at all that he was drunk, as if he did it on purpose... Jiang Ran frowned: "Si Xu, you didn't do this on purpose..."
"Didn't you say you would take care of me?"
"Huh?" she seemed to have said.
"So I can get drunk without worry."
The doubtful question got an answer, Jiang Ran laughed, leaned over to hug him, and pushed him down on the bed again.
"Si Xu." Her eyes curved into crescents. "You're super cute when you're drunk. You've completely melted me, you know that?"
"...I don't know." Gu Yunqing said that the only time he broke someone's arm was when he was drunk.
"You're so cute, really."
"so?"
She covered his eyes, blew a breath in his ear, and said softly: "I want to kiss you."
Si Xu naturally raised his chin slightly to facilitate her movements.
Noticing the man's little movements, Jiang Ran chuckled and lowered her head to bite his lips.
