Chapter 93 I don't remember
"Want to go for a walk?" Jiang Ye asked.
Bai Chenzhu wanted to, but could only shake his head, "My head hurts, I want to sleep."
This is why he easily followed Jiang Ye back. He was actually feeling quite unwell, and after seeing Zhou Mengmeng off, he wanted to find a place to lie down.
As for Jiang Ye... whatever his purpose, at least he has a place to stay temporarily tonight, so he doesn't have to worry about how much supplies he has to exchange for a bed on the outskirts of the city.
"OK."
Jiang Ye watched him finish taking his medicine and get into bed before leaving with his rice bowl.
Bai Chenzhu looked at the ceiling above him. The white paint was spinning and spinning, turning into a huge white vortex. He was being tossed around in the vortex in the deep sea. The wind and waves were very strong, pulling him into the eye of the vortex and tossing him around, almost making him vomit.
My head also hurts a lot, like someone is hitting the top of my head with a hammer, one blow after another, accompanied by vibrations.
He didn't know how long he endured the pain and dizziness, but a wave crashed over him, and Bai Chenzhu fell onto the dark red earth, smelling the burning odor.
Where is this place?
He sat up and looked around. The crimson moon, the shattered sky, the scorched earth, and the rolling lava. Even the wind was scorching hot, and there were dilapidated houses everywhere.
Bai Chenzhu stood up and walked around, observing as he went.
A low meow rang out, particularly noticeable amidst the slow rolling of lava and the crackling of flames. Bai Chenzhu followed the sound and saw a large rattan cat bed, as big as a beanbag chair.
An injured gray wolf lay on it, its tail swishing back and forth. It was very excited to see him and raised its upper body.
Bai Chenzhu stared at it for a long time. The gray wolf howled a few more times, its golden eyes looking at him quietly, as if it had no aggression whatsoever.
"It shouldn't bite, right?" Bai Chenzhu hesitated, taking one step, then another, and saw the gray wolf still lying there wagging its tail. Bai Chenzhu mustered her courage and walked over, standing beside its den.
The gray wolf simply watched him quietly, its clear eyes reflecting his image. It stretched out its left paw and patted the mat beneath it.
Bai Chenzhu didn't understand its meaning until the gray wolf patted the cushion again.
Subconsciously, he felt that the gray wolf was not just an ordinary animal, but something that could communicate with him. So Bai Chenzhu tentatively asked in a soft, gentle voice, "May I sit on it?"
The gray wolf nodded.
"It really can understand human speech!" Bai Chenzhu's eyes flashed with amazement. He carefully occupied half of the nest, and as soon as he sat down, he sank into the soft cushion, wrapped in soft white fabric.
"Looks comfortable, can I have half?" Bai Chenzhu lay sprawled in his nest, pushing his luck.
A smile flickered in the gray wolf's eyes. He lowered his head and curled up into a ball on the mat. Seeing this, Bai Chenzhu became bolder. He took up the remaining space, found a comfortable position, and lay down on his back to sleep.
I slept very soundly, so soundly that even the pain in my body disappeared completely.
——
Sunlight streamed in through the window, and tiny dust particles could be seen floating in the quiet room.
Bai Chenzhu lay upright in his quilt, with an arm's length away from him. The quilt was uncovered and was already a little cold. Jiang Ye seemed to have gone out quite early.
It's not early; judging by the sunlight, it seems like it's already noon.
Bai Chenzhu lay there for a while, then suddenly realized that the scene felt strangely familiar. It was as if he had seen Jiang Ye, this high-energy person, act in a similar way long ago. In contrast, he always needed sleep to recuperate.
He got up, groped his way to the bathroom, and tried it—there was hot water!
Bai Chenzhu was pleasantly surprised. He quickly washed up and went out into the hall, where he found two steamed buns on the table.
Real steamed buns.
Bai Chenzhu squeezed it again and again, and the softness in his hands made him a little puzzled.
Because whether it's boxed meals, hot water, or steamed buns, all of these require ingredients and manpower, it's very strange that he could find these things in a place where the world is already in the apocalypse.
Of course, no matter how bizarre it was, it didn't stop Bai Chenzhu from grabbing a steamed bun and starting to explore the small villa.
With the homeowner absent, he felt much more at ease. He walked from the bedroom and kitchen on the first floor to the dusty second and third floors, finally standing on the fourth floor, a place so dilapidated that only flower pots remained on the floor.
He stood atop the high-rise building, looking down upon the dilapidated state of the world.
Downstairs, Jiang Ye was walking side by side with a man and a woman. All three were very young. The young man and woman were chasing after Jiang Ye, talking to him. Jiang Ye looked a little impatient, but he was still listening.
From afar, he saw Bai Chenzhu, and a smile appeared on his face as he waved to Bai Chenzhu.
"He who eats another's food is bound to do so," Bai Chenzhu mimicked his gesture, waving slightly twice. To his surprise, the other man and woman, upon seeing him, excitedly jumped up and waved at him.
Do they recognize me too? Seeing that no one was around, Bai Chenzhu assumed they were greeting him and politely waved back.
Seeing the three preparing to enter, Bai Chenzhu decided to go downstairs.
However, he paused as he turned to go downstairs, staggered, and grabbed the doorframe for support. What he saw when he looked up was not the room, but a jumble of chaotic images: him pressing down on a bouncing boy in the hospital, and a girl crying her eyes out while shaking a corpse...
"It's a ghost." Bai Chenzhu closed his eyes, his face pale, and his back covered in cold sweat. He calmed himself down slowly, leaning against the handrail as he descended the stairs.
I felt a strange sense of familiarity with the man and woman I had greeted from afar.
"Brother Bai!" A man and a woman downstairs exclaimed excitedly in unison. They rushed over and stood on either side of Bai Chenzhu, chattering excitedly.
"It's been almost two months! Two months! I thought I'd never see you again! The car broke down, and I couldn't catch up with you! When we went to look for you again, all we found was the broken-down car. Everyone was terrified!"
"Long time no see, Brother Bai! It's a good thing you remembered to come to Cannes to find us, otherwise you'd turn into a puppy! Liars turn into puppies!"
...
Bai Chenzhu was feeling a bit dizzy from the dual-channel audio. "Shh, I can hear you, keep it down," he couldn't help but say.
"Alright, he doesn't remember you guys. He can't understand what you're saying either." Jiang Ye interrupted their whining at the right moment, raising his hand to protect Bai Chenzhu behind him. "Let's start with a simple self-introduction."
Bai Chenzhu weakly forced a smile, but managed an awkward yet polite one. "Hello."
"Brother Bai, I'm Bai Tao! Bai Tao of white peach, it's easy to remember." The loud and talkative girl had a very pleasing round face, was pretty and generous, had no makeup on, wore a braid on the left side, and was wearing a dress. "You and Brother Jiang saved me in Fuyun City before."
“I am Tang Zhao, the Zhao with the metal radical.” The boy raised his hand and traced the characters in the air, looking at him with puppy-dog eyes.
Although it was autumn, he was still wearing short sleeves, shorts, and sneakers, looking very refreshing. "At the beginning of the apocalypse, you escaped to my balcony, and I took you in for a while. Later, you even sent me to Jiangzhou City to find my relatives. Do you remember?"
The two of them stared at him expectantly.
"Uh..." Bai Chenzhu couldn't stand the stares and looked to Jiang Ye for help.
The only 'middleman' present.
Jiang Ye watched their interaction from the side and smiled silently, with a hint of nostalgia. "Alright, alright, it seems that Azhu doesn't remember. This can't be rushed. Sister Zhuohua has already prescribed some medicine for him. You can spend more time with him when you have time. Maybe one day he will suddenly recover."
Jiang Ye gave the two a glimmer of hope, but as he said this, he himself was not so optimistic, his eyes dimming slightly.
Bai Tao and Tang Zhao held Bai Chenzhu's hand as they reminisced about the past, hoping that he could recover under the influence of their love.
Unfortunately, Bai Chenzhu only had a vague impression, something like, "This sounds familiar, but I can't remember exactly what it means."
Besides that, Bai Tao and Tang Zhao also came to him to "complain." Bai Tao clung to his arm and grinned at Jiang Ye, "Brother Bai, we're working under Brother Jiang now, and he scolds us so badly every day! This guy actually..."
Bai Chenzhu hesitated, but seeing their complete trust, he simply watched quietly and patted their heads.
After the two left, the villa fell silent. Bai Chenzhu breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his ears.
The young man was too lively; he couldn't keep up with him.
A hand reached over from the side and rubbed his ear. Bai Chenzhu was startled by the unfamiliar body temperature and quickly took two steps back, looking warily at Jiang Ye, who was sitting next to him with his chin resting on his hand. "Is something wrong?"
"Scared again?" Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow. "No harm done, it's normal to touch your boyfriend, right?"
Bai Chenzhu frowned as she looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Jiang Ye, right? How did we get together?" Bai Chenzhu asked directly.
Everyone he'd met so far seemed to know all too well about their relationship and took it for granted, so he didn't waste his breath questioning whether it even existed. He only had one question in mind: Jiang Ye was so different from his ideal type, how did they even get together?
Jiang Ye changed his posture, crossed his arms, touched his chin, and said in a serious tone, "Actually, it was you who fell in love with me at first sight and kept pestering me. As the saying goes, even the most virtuous woman, cough, and the most virtuous man are afraid of a persistent lover. After going through many hardships, we got together."
A large question mark slowly appeared on Bai Chenzhu's forehead.
He didn't know if Jiang Ye was right or wrong, but he knew very well that he was unlikely to fall in love at first sight. Even if he did fall in love at first sight, he wouldn't be so passionate and persistent as to pursue someone relentlessly.
Bai Chenzhu struck a chord: "Then why haven't I fallen in love with you at first sight?"
Jiang Ye's eyes darted around. "Well, of course, it requires the right timing, location, and people. The environment and atmosphere are equally important."
Bai Chenzhu looked at him with a suspicious gaze.
Jiang Ye couldn't hold back any longer. He straightened his neck and changed the subject, "Why would I lie to you? You can go ask Sister Zhuohua. She's our witness. Just ask her if we've been through thick and thin together, sharing hardships and overcoming countless difficulties!"
Bai Chenzhu stared at him with a mixture of belief and doubt, but Jiang Ye let him look openly, which made Bai Chenzhu begin to doubt himself.
Maybe he really did fall in love at first sight and then relentlessly pursued her?
Jiang Ye wanted to laugh, but he was holding it in so hard that he could only cough twice to change the subject, "Um, are you hungry?"
Was he being teased? Bai Chenzhu raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "I just ate the steamed bun you left on the table."
Did you take your medicine today?
Bai Chenzhu remained silent, and silence itself was an answer. Jiang Ye sighed, got up to get the medicine and water, and handed them to Bai Chenzhu.
"I just forgot for a moment." Bai Chenzhu swallowed the medicine, feeling somewhat guilty and confused. "Where did you go this morning?"
"Oh, even though you don't remember, you still care about your husband!" Jiang Ye was so happy she felt like her tail was about to fly to the sky.
"Shut up, no..." Bai Chenzhu rubbed his temples, unable to say the right term, feeling like he was being taken advantage of verbally. "If you don't want to say it, then forget it."
He had already discovered that the man in front of him not only loved wearing colorful clothes, but also loved using sweet talk.
"I've gone out to earn money to support my family." Jiang Ye thought for a moment, "Well, since you're free this afternoon, why don't you come with me and take a look? It'll be a good opportunity for you to get familiar with the surroundings."
"In what capacity should I go?" Bai Chenzhu asked. Since he had already heard others refer to Commander Jiang Ye yesterday, he naturally did not think that just anyone could go to Jiang Ye's workplace.
“Hmm…” Jiang Ye glanced at Bai Chenzhu, then glanced at him again, and pondered.
"You're not allowed to use words like 'husband,' 'wife,' 'husband,' or 'madam,'" Bai Chenzhu warned sternly, anticipating the situation.
"Alright," Jiang Ye said, quite disappointed. "Then you can be my little assistant~"
