“You’re always like this.” Zhou Yang looked at him, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. She obediently didn’t return the bracelet to Huan Yang, but instead ruffled Huan Yang’s hair. “You are clearly much more important than me.”
“In my eyes, we are equally important.” Pan Yang said seriously, and as he spoke, he grabbed Zhou Yang’s collar and kissed him, even though they were clearly the same.
They both knew about each other. In fact, he also knew about Zhou Yang's childhood, which was told to him by the old man next door. In a sense, they were quite similar.
They both lived in the shadows, yet they were each other's only light. Zhou Yang could tolerate everything about Pan Yang and seemed more stable and mature than Pan Yang. Although Pan Yang was willful and reckless, he always put Zhou Yang first. He would never give up on Zhou Yang, just as Zhou Yang would never give up on him.
Zhou Yang's eyes revealed a tenderness, and the two parted ways after a long while.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem." Mr. Qiao stood at the door, coughed a few times, and looked the two of them up and down: "Although the surgery was successful, you two..."
“It’s my fault.” Zhou Yang looked at Qiao’s father and nodded, speaking almost flawlessly: “I was careless. I was just too surprised. Just now, Huan Yang was asking where Uncle was, and here he is.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Qiao smiled and walked to the bedside of Pan Yang: "You still remember your father? You almost scared me to death. But the police said it was an accident, and they couldn't find anything. The car owner paid compensation, so it's not good to make things difficult for him."
"It's alright. If the police say it was an accident, then it must have been an accident." Pan Yang shook his head.
"Oh dear, you need to be more careful in the future. If this happens a second time, I'll really be in trouble..." Mr. Qiao said anxiously.
"Understood." Pan Yang immediately nodded, interrupting him: "There will definitely not be a next time. I swear on Zhou Yang being single for five years."
Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at Pan Yang. He really knew how to make a vow.
Mr. Qiao waved his hand: "You little rascal, you've learned to talk like that."
There was a sudden knock on the door. The group looked over and saw a man dressed in casual clothes. Although they had never seen the man before, he seemed strangely familiar.
The man chuckled and said politely, "Hello, Uncle. I'm Zhou Yang's friend. I heard that Zhou Yang and her boyfriend had some trouble, so I came to check on them. I hope I haven't bothered you."
Mr. Qiao was taken aback: "No, so you're Xiao Zhou's friend. You two chat, I have some things to do at my company."
Then, Mr. Qiao looked at Pan Yang and said, "You must speak up if you have any questions."
"Understood." Pan Yang nodded, and only then did Qiao's father leave the ward with peace of mind.
After seeing Mr. Qiao leave, the man went inside, casually pulled up a chair and sat down. He exuded an air of elegance, but his smiling face gave off a feeling of a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Pan Yang knew almost without thinking who this person was; it was none other than Jiang Su Nan.
"Don't be nervous, the bet isn't over yet, and I certainly won't take advantage of your vulnerability." Jiang Sunan spoke slowly, looking at the two of them: "However, your time is running out, your godfather is starting to get anxious."
A hint of doubt flashed in Zhou Yang's eyes as he listened to his words. A bet? What bet? He knew Jiang Sunan. He had been raised by Jiang Qingyan since childhood and had always been obedient to Jiang Qingyan, although he felt there was something strange between the two.
Jiang Sunan looked at Zhou Yang: "It seems you've regained your memories. I didn't expect you to be so quick; your godfather didn't even notice." The last sentence was naturally directed at Pan Yang.
"Since that's the case, although most of it is about the bet, if you win, everyone will have to cooperate. Why not be honest with each other now and tell each other what's going on?"
"Of course, as a sign of sincerity, I can speak first, and I can answer any questions you may have." Jiang Sunan's voice was calm and his tone sincere. In fact, he also had many doubts, especially about Jiang Qingyan, his godfather, who seemed to have been deceiving him about many things.
Zhou Yang frowned, feeling a warmth in his hand as Pan Yang grasped it: "Of course."
Jiang Sunan nodded, shifted to a more relaxed sitting posture, and crossed his legs: "I was rescued by my godfather on Planet 56. At that time, the planet was swept by interstellar bandits, which almost destroyed the entire planet. My biological parents shielded me with their bodies, and I barely survived."
"After that, my adoptive father adopted me, changed my name, and taught me a lot of things. From childhood to adulthood, he always instilled one thing in me: he wanted to kill Huan Yang. In his words, you are utterly wicked, your parents died because of you, many planets were destroyed because of you, and you want to disrupt the order of the entire interstellar space."
Pan Yang suddenly chuckled. This Jiang Suonan really knew how to make up stories. He leaned back against the pillow, his tone flat: "My affairs are very simple. I've said before that some things on the internet are true." Pan Yang slowly began to recount his past.
He slightly altered the details of how his mother died, how he escaped the wanted manhunt and met Zhou Yang, and the story of his master and the sword.
Zhou Yang's gaze never left Pan Yang, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. He really couldn't imagine what this person was like back then, after all he had been through.
Pan Yang continued, "I've been to Planet 56 that you mentioned. We were discovered there immediately, and Jiang Qingyan sent a spaceship to guard it right away, so it's not a bandit group."
Jiang Sunan showed no surprise. These events were more or less in line with his guesses. His godfather was indeed somewhat ridiculous, but...
His expression remained unchanged, maintaining a basic smile: "Now you can ask me anything."
"Do you like him?" Pan Yang asked without hesitation.
001 was a little confused. Who did he like? Did Jiang Suonan have someone he liked? Who was it? How come he didn't know anything about it!
Jiang Sunan was somewhat surprised that Pan Yang would say this. He paused for a second, then grinned and tilted his head, saying, "Yes, that's right."
His dear godfather had no idea that, in a sense, they were both hiding things from each other, except that he was better at hiding them, while his godfather only cared about himself.
"Any more questions?" Jiang Sunan continued.
"That's all." Pan Yang shrugged. "I'll kill him when the time comes." Actually, he had just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to come out like that.
“I know, that’s why we’re still enemies. It’s just that we’re held back by some things.” Jiang Sunan finished speaking, stood up, and straightened the wrinkles on his clothes. “If there are no problems, I’ll be going now. See you in the next world, or maybe the world after that.”
