Xu Heyu's confused thoughts gradually cleared up amidst Zhui Feng's shouts.
He opened his eyes groggily, staring blankly at the wolf-like face in front of him, which was filled with worry.
The surroundings were the typical decor of his bedroom. When he looked down at his hands, they were not as large and strong as in his dream, and there were no marks on them.
But why do those memories feel so real?
Seeing that Xu Heyu was still in a daze, Zhuifeng anxiously called out to him again, "Master, say something! What happened to you earlier?"
Xu Heyu snapped out of his daze, recalling the inexplicable throbbing pain in his head earlier. With a complicated expression, he shook his head: "It was just a sudden headache, but the pain was probably a bit too severe."
Even now, he still doesn't quite understand what those inexplicably appearing memories are all about.
In both of his lifetimes, he had never encountered those memories before, so where did they come from?
And why would she suddenly approach him at this time?
Xu Heyu had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple. After rubbing her still aching head, she decided to get up and cook because she hadn't eaten for a long time.
But as soon as he got out of bed, he noticed something was amiss.
How did his suit turn into pajamas?
Also, shouldn't he be at Qiao Mei's engagement party?
Seeing his confusion, Zhuifeng explained the general situation to him:
"After you fell into a coma, Qiao Mei had a doctor examine and treat you. Later, they found nothing wrong, so she and Cang Ao took you back to the villa. They are sleeping in the guest room next door now. Go find them, so they won't worry anymore."
Xu Heyu was surprised that Qiao Mei and the others could go to such lengths. After a moment of stunned silence, she did not go looking for them as Zhui Feng had planned.
Instead, she went back to bed, pursed her lips, and told Zhui Feng, "Wait one night, I need to think about some things."
Things imagined will never be as clear in detail.
That can only mean that those things must have actually happened.
Could it be that this isn't his first rebirth, but his second?!
The thought of this possibility sent shivers down Xu Heyu's spine, and he began to carefully recall those fragmented memories of the past.
In the past, he and Qiao Mei were a match made in heaven, but they were hindered by Qiao Yingying.
In the end, he even ended up being separated from Qiao Mei by death.
“Qiao Yingying…” Xu Heyu suddenly remembered that since his rebirth, he seemed to have frequently accepted Qiao Yingying’s advances and initiative.
In his memory, he hadn't had much contact with her.
It's as if she knows what benefits she can gain by getting close to him, which is why she's so persistent and determined.
Just like in her previous life, she would put on any act and perform anything in order to get what she wanted from him.
Thinking about the reason for his death in his previous life, a heavy atmosphere began to permeate Xu Heyu's body. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his light brain bracelet and sent a message to Qiao Yingying.
Xu Heyu: [If you have time, let's meet up. The place is the teahouse on Green Shade Road in the Imperial Star.]
......
Qiao Mei woke up early the next morning and, concerned about Xu Heyu's condition, went to his room to check on him immediately.
Then he discovered that no one was in his bed anymore, only the Golden Claw White Wolf was still lying in the wolf den, fast asleep.
"Zhuifeng, Zhuifeng, wake up! Where is Xu Heyu?!"
Zhui Feng was waiting for Qiao Mei to come over. When he saw that she was awake, he told her that Xu Heyu was alright.
"The master said this morning that he had something very important to do and was afraid of waking you up and disturbing your rest, so he asked me to pass on the message to you."
Qiao Mei found it a bit strange, since Xu Heyu usually told her everything directly via text message, given her personality.
His personal computer isn't broken, so why does he have to ask Zhui Feng to deliver the message?
She couldn't understand it, but the most important thing now was that he was alright, so she didn't think about it anymore and pulled Ao Cang back to their villa next door.
Because of Xu Heyu's disruption yesterday, she barely got to enjoy their engagement party.
But when she remembered that she and Ao Cang would have another wedding banquet later, she quickly let it go. She went back and watched the video that Xu Hui had sent her, and sighed at how hard Ao Cang had worked yesterday.
He wasn't lying to her; he had indeed found quite a few people who could help with chores, so much so that even though they didn't host the engagement banquet much after Xu Heyu's accident yesterday, everything was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
After telling Xu Hui that Xu Heyu was no longer in any major problems, Qiao Mei began to organize the evening gown she had worn the day before and the accessories she had worn.
Her solemn demeanor made it seem as if she had never worn them before.
Ao Cang was a little puzzled: "An'an, are you planning to wear them to the wedding banquet as well? I will prepare a new evening dress for you then, so you don't need to do that."
Qiao Mei glanced at Ao Cang with amusement: "That's definitely not it, but such beautiful clothes and accessories will definitely be worn again later. After all, you put a lot of effort into having them made, so I will definitely treasure them."
After she finished speaking, she brought up the wedding date and asked Ao Cang if he had any thoughts on it.
Two people who have just gotten engaged cannot immediately get married.
Ao Cang had also heard this principle from Xu Hui.
After thinking it over, I finally handed the decision over to Qiao Mei.
“We’ll be juniors soon, and there will be a lot of things to do at the Federal Academy then. We probably won’t have time to deal with this, so I’m not sure whether to wait until the end of junior year or after graduation.”
The Book of the World tells Qiao Mei that she can stay for at most two years until she graduates from her senior year.
Whether she will be able to remain in the world of the book is still unknown.
But she had been deliberately ignoring this matter until Ao Cang brought it up today, forcing her to reconsider it.
The stability of her relationship with Ao Cang is undeniable. If conditions allowed, he would definitely want to have a child with her.
She just couldn't be so selfish as to only indulge in momentary pleasure.
She pondered for a long time before finally deciding to test Ao Cang's intentions.
"Cangcang, come here. I have some very important questions for you."
If the answer she gets is enough to support them taking the step of marriage, she will go for it; if not, she won't ruin things for him.
So that he won't be forever bound by the memories of the past after she leaves.
Seeing her serious expression, Ao Cang nodded and followed her, staring curiously into her red eyes, waiting for her to continue.
Then I heard her ask:
"Cangcang, if, I mean if, I'm destined not to be able to go very far with you, would you still want to marry me? Don't lie to me, I want to hear your most honest answer."
