Chapter 43 A Loan of Over Forty Million
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I lied to you. Will you be angry?" Heng Xing stared into Yu Nianqing's eyes.
He was as gentle as ever, handing her a glass of cool water. "It's alright, Captain Heng. This is no small matter. I understand why you kept it from me."
"But what about you? Won't amnesia greatly affect your life?"
Yu Nianqing recalled the question from two days ago, "You said that spaceship looked familiar. Could it be that you saw it ten years ago but have forgotten about it now?"
Heng Xing nodded, "I think that's possible too."
"Captain Heng, do you want to regain your memory?" Yu Nianqing suggested. "You have to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow, why don't you take the opportunity to check on your amnesia as well?"
“Okay, let’s go take a look,” Heng Xing said. “I’ll send a message to Chi Qingyi now.”
Around 11 p.m., Yu Nianqing went back to her room to sleep.
Before returning to her room, Hengxing checked the door lock and noticed several small, triangular objects she had never seen before in the corner. She used the image recognition function on her device, and after scanning them, the terminal identified them as door jammers that would emit a deafening alarm if anyone pushed the door forcefully.
Why did all these things suddenly appear out of nowhere?
She looked at Yu Nianqing's tightly closed door and decided to ask him tomorrow what happened on the day she was away.
I went back to my room and lay down on the bed.
The treatment was somewhat effective.
Congratulations!
After counting to the twelfth "1223" with her eyes closed, she finally fell asleep.
Then at 5:30 in the morning, she slowly woke up.
The world outside the window was pitch black, making her wonder if her falling asleep was just an illusion.
Looking at the sleep log on the terminal, she had only slept for a little over three hours.
Another course of treatment is probably needed.
At 9:00 AM sharp, the hospital opened, and the two had already arrived at the outpatient building on time.
Chi Qingyi was unavailable today, so I made a chart showing all the procedures and the places we needed to go and sent it to them.
Following Chi Qingyi's medical advice, the two first went to the hematology department to have their blood drawn, and then went to the neurology department to have their brain examined.
Hengxing typed his needs into the virtual doctor on the virtual screen, and was asked to have an X-ray taken of his brain. After that, he could go back to his dormitory to wait for treatment advice.
The process ended at 10 o'clock, while the sun was still hanging obliquely in the east.
"Why don't we go take a look at that villa?" Yu Nianqing suggested.
Hengxing laughed and joked with him, "Should I go back and take a shower before going? That would make me look more dignified."
Yu Nianqing was amused by her, and she lowered her head, covered her scarf with her hand, and laughed, her eyes crinkling.
They walked side by side down the street, following the navigation to find a place to rent a drone.
I happened to pass by that familiar spaceship repair center, where the antique spaceship was still there.
Yu Nianqing took Heng Xing's arm and walked forward. "Don't look anymore, Captain Heng. Everything will be clear once you regain your memory. Let's go look at the house first."
He omitted the "our" in "look at our house" and kept the ambiguity that only he knew hidden in his mouth.
Heng Xing withdrew her gaze from the antique spaceship and obediently followed him, without pulling her arm away.
After recognizing her own feelings, even simple touches between the two of them brought her joy.
Suddenly, a brand-new aircraft descended beside them.
Lin He's face popped out of the window. "Do you need a ride?"
She's everywhere.
Yu Nianqing felt that she was disturbing her and Captain Heng's time alone and wanted to refuse directly, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by Heng Xing.
Hengxing looked up and asked her, "Dr. Lin, is it okay to go anywhere?"
Seeing her naive and unsophisticated demeanor, Lin He's composed and gentlemanly face cracked with disdain. "Of course."
Yu Nianqing felt the light stinging her eyes, and her grip on Heng Xing's arm tightened.
Heng Xing, seemingly oblivious, widened her eyes slightly and said with surprise, "But the place we're going to is very far, Dr. Lin, won't this take up too much of your time?"
Lin He smiled smugly, "I have plenty of time, let's go."
She only opened the back door of the aircraft, intending for her to climb in through the back door, in order to humiliate her.
As I pressed the button, a happy image even flashed through my mind: the black-haired beauty next to me realizing that the object of her affections was just an ignorant poor man, and then turning to her for comfort.
But to her surprise, the ignorant poor man smiled and refused her, then walked up, put his arm around the beauty's shoulder, and left, leaving behind only a harmonious pair of silhouettes. It was as if everything that had just happened was a figment of her imagination.
Lin He: Are you sick?
After turning the corner and confirming that Lin He could no longer see him, Heng Xing let go of her hand. "Sorry, Mr. Yu, I was just teasing her."
But he felt he was a bit abnormal and quickly banished the thought from his mind.
Heng Xing's hands hung at his sides as he secretly rubbed his fingers together.
No one spoke, so she spoke up to ease the tension, "Mr. Yu, I noticed yesterday that there were a few more doorstops at the entrance."
Yu Nianqing: "Well, because Lin He suddenly knocked on my door the night you weren't there, I was a little scared, so I took them all out and stuffed them under the door."
Upon hearing this, Heng Xing felt a surge of irritation. "How can she be so idle!"
Lin He, so annoying.
Yu Nianqing: "Indeed, Xiao Chi and Professor Wen are very busy, and Dr. Lin even has time to fly us around in a flying vehicle."
As he spoke, he turned his head and saw the group of aircraft in front of him. His eyes lit up. "Captain Heng, it's right ahead."
The two chose a newer aircraft, and after boarding it, Yu Nianqing entered the destination on the virtual screen.
Hengxing leaned back lazily in his chair.
She opened her terminal and messaged Chi Qingyi, asking her why Lin He's life was so rich, always inviting others to dinner or concerts.
Chi Qingyi sent a voice message, "Because he always dumps the work on others."
After Hengxing finished listening, she immediately deleted the voice message she had just sent.
[Chi Qingyi: Don't tell anyone I said that!]
Heng Xing turned off the terminal, lost in thought.
The two chatted casually while looking at the scenery; the five-hour journey didn't seem long.
The aircraft was stopped by an air shield at the entrance of the villa area.
After Yu Nianqing presented her electronic property certificate, the security guard recorded their faces and said with a smile, "This is the last time. From now on, you can pass through without any obstacles just by showing your face."
Yu Nianqing was very satisfied; the security here was quite good.
The aircraft took off again and landed in front of the villa.
The unpretentious Mao Pei Villa stands out against two grand villas that are decorated in a lavish, palace-like style, making it appear even more rustic.
Yu Nianqing led her from the basement to the fourth-floor balcony.
Afterwards, the two stood together on the balcony to bask in the sun, watching the sunset paint the sky red. He suddenly realized that Heng Xing hadn't said a word since entering the villa, and only his own voice echoed in the room.
He turned to look at her. "Captain Heng, why haven't you said anything?"
Hengxing looked at the balcony opposite, where a Samoyed was wagging its tail at him, and a cockatoo was barking loudly on the cute dog's head. "Mr. Yu, this house must be very expensive."
Yu Nianqing remembered the more than 40 million star coins in debt she was carrying, and her smile faded slightly. She hesitated and said, "Um, it's actually not that bad."
Indeed, he needs to figure out how to get that money.
Captain Heng won't live off a woman forever :)
I thought about it and realized that confessing in the hospital ward wasn't safe enough. Thank you to the lovely people in the comments section for reminding me.
I revised chapters 38-42, moving the timeline forward by one day, so Captain Heng is now confessing in his dormitory.
Sending you kisses and love!
