Chapter 18 Chapter 18 “I seem to have fallen in love with you at first sight…
Pei Shuyu looked down at the number 9 card in his hand, his fingertips tightening slightly. Under the light, the veins on his forehead twitched. When he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Xiao Qingyang's amusement-filled gaze.
Great, so it turns out he was the one being set up.
Fu Zhouxing had just targeted Xiao Qingyang, all in an act to get him to let down his guard. Was he afraid he'd run away?
Pei Shuyu slowly spread the playing cards on the coffee table, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. The expressions of the few people who had been making a fuss froze in an instant, and they only stared blankly at the playing cards.
Huh?
"9, number 9 is the boss?"
If he'd just been drunk and intoxicated, he'd be completely sober now. Just kidding, who doesn't know about the Boss's affairs with a certain alpha? He'd never dared to mention them for so many years. If it weren't for the confiscated supplies, their Boss probably wouldn't have crossed paths with that alpha again in his lifetime.
The situation is a bit awkward now. They really want to let their boss and Fu Zhouxing play against each other. They will probably be in a mixed doubles match between the two...
Pei Shuyu and Fu Zhouxing didn't move. Someone took the initiative to smooth things over. "Well, if you can't do this, you can drink. Boss, why don't we just admit defeat and have some tea? You don't need to drink the wine, you're in good health. Losing a game is no big deal, right?"
Seeing that Pei Shuyu didn't respond, he tried to persuade Fu Zhouxing, "Zhouxing, aren't you right?"
Fu Zhouxing didn't say anything. Everyone present just laughed it off and said that the game was over.
Xiao Qingyang was so unhappy that he said reluctantly: "Damn it! I just did so many push-ups and Fu Zhouxing tricked me! Why don't you just forget it? No! We have to kiss!"
The voice was so loud that even Yu Jingheng who was next to him could hear it.
Yu Jingheng slowly walked to Lu Hean with a wine glass in his hand, nudged him lightly with his elbow, raised his eyebrows and repeated what Xiao Qingyang had said in a loud voice just now, "No, you have to kiss." He even deliberately dragged out the tone.
"Hey, did you hear that? The people at that table are clamoring for Captain Pei and the young master of the Fu family to kiss each other. Do you think they can kiss?" Yu Jingheng's eyes were sparkling, and he looked like he was enjoying the show. He stared at Lu Hean's face, waiting for his reaction.
If you really have lost your memory, you probably won't care. Lu Hean, what would you do?
"Boring." Lu Hean just took a look and continued to pour himself a drink. "Do you know him? Why are you so curious about him?"
"You don't know him? You can't remember him at all?" Yu Jingheng raised an eyebrow, tapped the rim of his wine glass with his fingertips, and said in a deliberately tentative voice: "Captain Pei, Pei Shuyu, one of the squad leaders of the Saifan Freedom Organization. Didn't you seize their supplies a while ago?"
Seeing Lu Hean's expression as if it had nothing to do with me, he changed the subject, "That Fu Zhouxing... you should remember him, right? The illegitimate son of the Fu family."
"I don't remember." Lu Hean paused as he poured his wine, his eyes lowered as he remained silent. However, his Adam's apple moved slightly. He then asked, "You're asking this because there's some story between me and Captain Pei? For example, was he and I in a relationship before I lost my memory?"
We were all adults now, so if anything really happened, Lu Hean could handle it. He felt that nothing was more difficult to accept than waking up and having his memory jump to a few years later.
This is not a matter of days or months, this is a matter of years. He has retained his knowledge from college and now tells him, hey, bro, you have to work two jobs.
The sky seems to be falling. Will my future self work so hard?
His memories of this period were completely blank, and the harder he tried to remember, the more he lost touch. Insomnia and nightmares were a common occurrence for Lu Hean when he slept, and in his dreams he could only see a figure from behind.
He couldn't catch it, nor could he catch up with it.
He also has a fiancée who clings to him to death. Thinking of Qiao Zhishi asking him to go shopping every day to buy things for the wedding, Lu Hean leaned on the sofa in annoyance.
They were already fiancées, and no matter how people around them tried to match them up, Lu Hean had no impression of her at all.
During this period, he frequently asked Qiao Zhishi out, hoping to find some clues about the past. However, Qiao Zhishi's answers were flawless and her descriptions were vivid.
Although he was calm inside, he still cooperated while eating and shopping.
On the contrary, when Yu Jingheng mentioned Pei Shuyu, he felt a little strange.
It was the same when I first saw Pei Shuyu, and it was very similar to the situation at the boxing gym that day.
Lu Hean poured himself a glass of wine and shifted his gaze to the group of people opposite.
In fact, this was not the first time he met Pei Shuyu after losing his memory.
Although Pei Shuyu was in disguise last time at the boxing gym, pheromones can't fool people. When Pei Shuyu saw him, he would be so nervous that he would unconsciously release pheromones.
It was just a little bit, but Lu Hean could smell it.
"Don't dream, what could there be between you and him? You two are not a good match in terms of family background or gender. Can your father tolerate you finding an alpha to suppress you?"
"Why didn't I press him?"
Yu Jingheng paused. Wasn't this kid's focus a bit too strange? Of course, he had a reason for what he said, but he also followed his words and said, "Well, none of this matters. Anyway, you two don't know each other and have nothing in common. Just marry the young master of the Qiao family, have a child, and live a happy life as a family of three. Uncle Lu will be happy too."
After hearing what Yu Jingheng said, and considering the strange reactions of the people around him, Lu Hean became more certain of one thing - there was definitely something going on between him and Pei Shuyu.
Suddenly, a huge exclamation broke out nearby.
Fu Zhouxing suddenly raised his foot and walked straight towards Pei Shuyu. Pei Shuyu stood still, his eyes full of vigilance. He wanted to see what Fu Zhouxing and Xiao Qingyang were up to.
He felt his chin being pinched and lifted by Fu Zhouxing.
Just as Fu Zhouxing's face got closer, Pei Shuyu lowered his voice and asked through gritted teeth, "What on earth are you trying to do by doing this?"
Fu Zhouxing didn't answer him directly. He glanced in Lu Hean's direction calmly, and then said slowly: "You will know in a moment."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them paused for about three seconds, using a different position under the gaze of the crowd. Everyone around them held their breath, their eyes flicking back and forth between the two of them.
A few people even stole glances in Lu Hean's direction.
However, Lu Hean just sat there with no special expression on his face, neither angry nor surprised. He just poured one glass of wine after another, as if the scene in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Xiao Qingyang and Yu Jingheng. The former felt that Xiao Qingyang's life was saved, while the latter felt that Lu Hean really had lost his memory and that he could remain indifferent to this.
Fu Zhouxing kept his distance and didn't make any further moves. Pei Shuyu seemed to suddenly understand something, and his anger intensified. He pushed Fu Zhouxing away and reached out to grab the wine on the table. Unexpectedly, Fu Zhouxing was faster and took the two glasses of wine first. He tilted his head back and drank both glasses before saying, "I admit defeat. I'll drink Pei Shuyu's drink for him. Let's continue playing."
The atmosphere gradually became lively again. No one dared to let Xiao Qingyang and Fu Zhouxing deal the cards, and they pushed the two of them out.
Xiao Qingyang felt deeply sorry about this. He put his arm around Fu Zhouxing and walked aside, whispering, "He seems to have really lost his memory."
Fu Zhouxing stroked the rim of the wine glass with his fingertips, his eyes fixed on the figure drinking alone not far away.
Lu Hean's wrists were perfectly straight as he raised his glass. The amber liquor cast tiny shadows under the light, but it couldn't illuminate the indifference hidden in his eyes. He suddenly chuckled and tapped his knuckles on the bar. "So far, it seems so," he trailed off.
Xiao Qingyang took a sip of wine and nudged his shoulder with his elbow: "Then let's persuade the boss to find a new love, right?"
"If you want to die, don't take me with you."
Suddenly, a faint sneer escaped from Fu Zhouxing's throat, "Hasn't his memory now gone back to before he first met Pei Shuyu?"
"Yeah." Xiao Qingyang was bored and looked for something to pass the time.
Fu Zhouxing gently put down his wine glass and walked leisurely towards the bathroom. "That will be interesting."
"What do you mean? Hey! Explain yourself clearly!"
In the shadows of a corner bar, Pei Shuyu opened his phone to watch a movie. It seemed his favorite star had recently released a new film. Before he could finish watching much, Yu Jingheng's teasing voice reached him from a distance. Lu Hean seemed amused and chuckled softly. The laughter was light and airy, like a feather tickling his heart, and a subtle tingling sensation instantly spread across the back of his neck.
Xiao Qingyang approached Pei Shuyu from behind, put his arm on his shoulder, and handed him a cigarette with his other hand, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at things you don't understand." Pei Shuyu pushed Xiao Qingyang away.
Xiao Qingyang then handed the cigarette to Fu Zhouxing. Fu Zhouxing took the cigarette from Xiao Qingyang but did not light it. He just twisted it gently between his fingers: "You didn't hide at that time." He suddenly raised his eyes, and his eyes seemed to sweep in the direction of Lu Hean, "Actually, you also want to see if Lu Hean really has lost his memory."
Pei Shuyu suddenly turned off his phone. "Fu Zhouxing." His voice was as cold as ice. "He and I are in the past. Even if he hadn't lost his memory, there's no way we can be together."
Fu Zhouxing just lit the cigarette slowly, with an ambiguous smile on his lips: "You are so sure? Okay." He looked like he was being generous and said, "You say one thing and mean another, I won't expose you."
Pei Shuyu was too lazy to continue talking to him. He glanced at him and said only, "You don't learn good things, but only learn bad things from Xiao Qingyang."
Xiao Qingyang pointed at himself: Me again?
"Hey! Pei Shuyu! Fu Zhouxing is not a good person!" Xiao Qingyang defended himself weakly.
Pei Shuyu moved to a quieter place. It was getting late, and he was feeling sleepy. He might as well tell them that he was tired and wanted to go home to sleep.
He grabbed his phone and typed a message. Even if they tried to stop him from leaving, it wouldn't work. But then he realized, this isn't right. He's the captain. Why should he ask for permission if he wants to leave? He could just leave and send a message to let them know.
Yes, that's how it should be.
The two villains in my mind started fighting again.
"This is social etiquette, politeness. Why don't you talk to them in person?"
"We are the boss! Why would the boss need other people's approval to do anything?"
Pei Shuyu slid the screen of his phone back and forth, and the two villains fighting in his mind were arguing fiercely.
At this moment, a shadow came from behind, blocking the light above Pei Shuyu's head.
Pei Shuyu subconsciously looked up and met a pair of bottomless eyes.
Lu Hean had unknowingly stood behind him, the light illuminating his shoulders with a cold, hard outline. Pei Shuyu's grip on his phone froze, and he lost his grip, dropping it under the sofa. The air seemed to freeze in that instant, even the clatter of dice colliding on the next table receding into a faint background noise.
"You..." Pei Shuyu's throat tightened and the second half of the sentence was stuck on his tongue.
Lu Hean seemed not to notice his suddenly tense shoulders. His eyes fell on the bottles scattered in front of him. He suddenly spoke, his voice lower than he remembered: "Why are you alone?"
"It's none of your business." Pei Shuyu said bluntly with a cold expression.
Wow, there are two faces.
"Okay, I wanted to be more tactful." Lu Hean took a deep breath, as if mustering up all his courage, and slowly spoke. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by Pei Shuyu: "I seem to have fallen in love with you at first sight."
Pei Shuyu: ...
Xiao Qingyang:! ? ?
Yu Jingheng: ???
"..." Fu Zhouxing had an expression of "just wait and see".
Not surprisingly, he became a prophet.
