Chapter 36 Chapter 36 The Complete Record of Human Social Death...
Xu Zhaoyi slept until night, and Qin Sheng went up to check on him every hour. He guessed that the long sleep was a sign of detoxification, so he didn't wake him up.
He hoped that Xu Zhaoyi could rely on the halo of the male lead to detoxify himself after a good sleep, but when it was dinner time, he went upstairs to wake him up. When he saw Xu Zhaoyi rubbing his eyes and sitting up, looking at him with confusion and dullness, he knew that his expectations were dashed.
"Do you still recognize me?" he asked tentatively, without using his true voice to avoid scaring people.
Xu Zhaoyi shook his head subconsciously, then nodded hesitantly and muttered, "I think so..."
He looked a little embarrassed to speak.
Qin Sheng had no choice but to put aside the solemnity on his face and looked at him with a gentle expression, trying to make Xu Zhaoyi, whose memory was confused, feel that he was not a threat.
The result made Xu Zhaoyi's expression even more subtle.
He actually remembered Qin Sheng, but many things related to Qin Sheng were vague in his mind. He could only vaguely recall a few scenes. They seemed to be... engaged at that time?

Xu Zhaoyi had no other symptoms except that his mind was not very clear. It was much better than the state before going to bed where he could not tell the difference between day and night. At least he didn't look so stupid anymore.
Qin Sheng didn't care much about the fact that he had forgotten many things related to him. It was only for a few days anyway, so he simply took care of him as his fiancé to prevent the person with amnesia from feeling uneasy in an unfamiliar environment, which would be detrimental to his recovery.
The cooperative relationship between him and Xu Zhaoyi was too complicated to be told to this person who didn't even remember Jin Nianyue. Qin Sheng didn't want to mention Jin Nianyue in front of him at this time, lest he only remember the grudges of the previous life and not the things of this life.
Xu Zhaoyi also maintained a steady mind. After hesitating for a long time, he temporarily chose to accept it. After all, he was obviously the one with memory problems among them. He did not have much confidence to question what Qin Sheng, who was in a normal state of mind, said. What's more, it was he who proposed the engagement, and it was the only thing he remembered clearly.
If, really if, they were really engaged lovers, Xu Zhaoyi overcame his awkwardness and advised himself in his heart that it would be best not to say hurtful nonsense when his mind was not clear, which would dig a hole for his future self when he returned to normal.
So rationality is really the best dowry for the male protagonist. Qin Sheng was convinced of this again when he saw Xu Zhaoyi still eating calmly.
Late at night when most people in Nanchuan were asleep, Noodles, who got the news, ran back via the Internet cable to visit and scanned Xu Zhaoyi from head to toe.
The scan results showed that there were indeed trace amounts of toxins in the body, acting on the neurons, so it was more troublesome than ordinary poisons. However, it was not a big problem. The spiritual roots were automatically operating to protect the body, which was enough to heal itself. If you want to get better quickly, you can drink more spiritual water.
It's no coincidence that he only clearly remembers the engagement scene. It's probably the added impact of the blessings of heaven and earth that makes it so hard to forget. How can the toxins of a mere fish be compared to the blessings of heaven? That's too embarrassing, isn't it?
Noodles jumped onto the sofa and lay down next to Xu Zhaoyi.
Xu Zhaoyi looked at the skunk spirit that crawled out of the TV in the living room and could speak human language with curiosity.
The skunk spirit swung its tail and called out to him, "Little Daddy, do you still remember me?"
“…Were you adopted by Qin Sheng and me?” Xu Zhaoyi blinked twice slowly, and happily accepted the fact that their adopted son was a little monster or a skunk that had turned into a spirit.
He held it in his arms and asked, "Can it transform?"
It seemed that he had forgotten. Noodles didn't mind. Just as he was about to introduce himself, Qin Sheng chuckled and said first, "Yes, that's right. He is our adopted child. His name is Qin Mianmian. He gave it this name himself. It means..."
“Ahhhhhhhh don’t mention this!!!” Noodles instantly felt the malice of the entire world coming towards him, and quickly threw himself on Qin Sheng and begged him to shut up.
Qin Sheng avenged himself for being struck by it and the humiliation it brought with it that day, so he mercifully let it go.
"Don't listen to Daddy's nonsense." Noodles whined and slid back into Xu Zhaoyi's arms. "My name is Noodles. I'm your... well, an intelligent robot butler. I have many forms and can transform into a human cub, but I'm just too cute and not very realistic."
"Can I take a look?" Xu Zhaoyi asked.
"Of course!" Noodles looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the living room, controlled the electric curtains to close by themselves, and then turned back into the appearance of the three-headed fat baby.
It looked up at Xu Zhaoyi with a smile on its chubby cartoon face that looked a lot like Xu Zhaoyi and a bit like Qin Sheng.
Xu Zhaoyi pinched its face.
I thought, fortunately he didn't say anything arrogant to Qin Sheng when he just woke up. It seems that they must have had a good relationship before he lost his memory. The form of AI can be customized. Maybe it was deliberately made to look so much like them to make up for the regret that they can't have children?
This is really a bit magical.
It was hard to imagine that he would fall in love with a man. He always felt that he should be straight, but no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not find any strong evidence to prove this. There were many beautiful women's faces in his memory, and they all looked familiar, but none of them made him feel excited.
On the contrary, Qin Sheng... Ever since Xu Zhaoyi knew that they were really in that kind of relationship, he had never looked directly at him.
I can’t explain why, it seems that he thinks he is straight, but his subconscious mind has its own ideas.
Xu Zhaoyi certainly couldn't do any serious work for the next three days. Noodles returned to Feng Lili before dawn. Qin Sheng was afraid that he would be depressed staying at home. After all, he couldn't practice, so he asked him if he wanted to go out and play for a while in case something went wrong.
Xu Zhaoyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so cautious. Just keep doing things the same as before."
Qin Sheng didn't understand for a moment: "Huh?"
"What I mean is..." Xu Zhaoyi raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, explaining, "You don't have to keep your distance from me. Losing your memory doesn't mean that the past promises and responsibilities of this relationship have disappeared. It should be my job to adapt and accept them."
“…” Qin Sheng looked at him in disbelief. What kind of moral standard statement was this?
He paused for a long moment before replying dryly, "If your recovery seems far from over, I'll consider what you said, but the truth is, you'll be sober in a couple of days. There's really no need to do this."
"Okay." Xu Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and nodded, looking a little inexplicably lost.
This must be an illusion.
However, Xu Zhaoyi still refused to go out. He really was not in the mood to go out and play at the moment. In the end, it turned out that this decision was right because his condition was indeed too unstable.
The complete amnesia did not show any sign of lasting for three days. In the afternoon, Xu Zhaoyi vaguely remembered some things, but most of the timelines were confusing and disjointed.
For example, he remembered that Qin Sheng had saved his parents, and that the Qin family's forbidden land still offered hope for his parents' reincarnation. But the bad thing was that he could not remember Qin Sheng's true situation in the Qin family, nor did he remember whether these happened before or after the engagement.
This made him stare at Qin Sheng for a long time, filled with self-blame and guilt. Finally, he said solemnly, "I'm sorry."
“…What’s wrong?”
Qin Sheng had never felt so confused before.
Xu Zhaoyi confessed with difficulty that he guessed that he and Qin Sheng were engaged just to get closer to the Qin family's forbidden area. Qin Sheng raised his hands to cover his eyes and took a deep breath to hold back his laughter on the spot.
Xu Zhaoyi thought he was sad, and hesitantly whispered: "I think I still liked you a little bit later."
Although his memory was a mess, his subconscious reaction could not lie. He did have a special feeling for Qin Sheng. He wanted to admit that he had fallen in love with her, but he seemed to be lacking the courage to do so. However, he himself was not convinced if he wanted to completely deny it.
Qin Sheng put his hand down and sighed heavily: "Please, please don't feel anything for now."
He now wondered if Xu Zhaoyi would be so angry and humiliated that he would want to kill someone to silence them after he recovered.
Although according to the system logic, his cheat is always stronger than Xu Zhaoyi's, and Xu Zhaoyi cannot beat him, he does not want to be exposed, nor does he want to have any conflicts with the other party!
"I can assure you that things are not at all what you imagine. It's just that I can't explain it to you now because you don't even remember the original motivation for our engagement. If you hear it, you will only be more confused about how this happened."
Qin Sheng still didn't take the initiative to mention Jin Nianyue, which made Xu Zhaoyi recall that the risk in his previous life was too great. You know, Jin Nianyue's presence in this life has always been weak, but her death in the previous life was definitely exciting enough for Xu Zhaoyi.
The most important thing is that after recalling those memories, Xu Zhaoyi's trust in him will definitely drop sharply in the past two days, which is simply creating difficulties for himself.
"Anyway... don't overthink it. You didn't do anything wrong. If I had to pick someone to judge morally between you and me, it should be me, not you. Do you understand?"
Xu Zhaoyi agreed half-heartedly.
He was at peace for the whole afternoon, but there was another change in the evening. Xu Zhaoyi began to see things that normal people could not see.
He insisted that there was a red string tied around his and Qin Sheng's wrists, which could not be untied no matter what he did. Moreover, the string was not elastic and he could not get even one meter away from Qin Sheng.
He even demonstrated it to Qin Sheng. When Qin Sheng raised his hand, he felt like he was really being pulled hard. It didn't look like acting at all. To be honest, Xu Zhaoyi didn't have such acting skills. It was so realistic that Qin Sheng almost believed it.
But when he tried again when Xu Zhaoyi wasn't paying attention, naturally nothing happened.
"You said this poison wouldn't have much effect on cultivators before it was prepared? I really believed your lies."
Qin Sheng rubbed his solar plexus and forced Xu Zhaoyi to drink three bottles of spiritual water. If Noodles hadn't said that Xu Zhaoyi could heal himself with the spiritual roots in his body, he would have wanted to call an ambulance.
Then the problem came. Not long after, the spiritual energy was absorbed and Xu Zhaoyi wanted to go to the bathroom, but he still firmly believed that they were tied together, so he was very embarrassed.
Of course, Qin Sheng couldn't accompany him into the bathroom to solve his physiological problems, otherwise Xu Zhaoyi would be so ashamed that he would want to live on another planet after he woke up. So he found a tie and covered Xu Zhaoyi's eyes, which were constantly deceiving him visually, and finally managed to get the job done.
Although Qin Sheng didn't work hard that day, he still felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, Xu Zhaoyi had not rested for a whole day and a whole night at this time, and soon fell asleep on the sofa.
Qin Sheng really didn't dare to disturb him this time. Seeing that the sofa was quite spacious, he went upstairs and got down two quilts. That night, the two of them each occupied one side of the sofa and got by like that.
When he woke up the next day, he saw that there was no one on the other side of the sofa. He was startled and immediately turned over and sat up.
He looked around the living room and didn't see anyone, so he went to the room upstairs, but still couldn't find anyone.
The villa is a bit big, but there are only a few places where they usually hang out. Qin Sheng was worried about losing the person, and he didn't care whether his voice would scare the other person.
[Azhao!]
[……ah? ]
Xu Zhaoyi's response was obviously a little surprised and unfamiliar. It seemed that the person on the other end was still not in a conscious state, but at least he didn't take off the Lingxi Ring. Qin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Where are you now?
[Uh, I...] Xu Zhaoyi responded not very skillfully in his inner voice, and stuttered to tell him that he was on the rooftop terrace.
Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng immediately turned around and ran to the top floor, fearing that the man would mistake the lawn downstairs for a swimming pool and jump in. He swore that even Noodles, the little troublemaker who swallowed his colleague in one gulp and came home to ask him to clean up the mess, had never made him worry so much.
But the reality was not as dangerous as he thought. Xu Zhaoyi's hallucination had disappeared, otherwise he would still be tied up by the non-existent red line and unable to leave within one meter of him!
"Why can we do this?" After Qin Sheng came up, he pointed to his left chest.
Qin Sheng extended his hand to gesture for him to look at the Lingxi ring on his hand, and explained, "This ring is a pair of magical instruments that allow the wearer to communicate with each other."
"Wedding ring?" Xu Zhaoyi looked down at his hand, and saw the ring on his ring finger.
"I guess so." Qin Sheng said, "It's a chance find, and it's much more precious than an ordinary diamond ring. If I don't find something better after we get married, I won't change it."
When Xu Zhaoyi heard about marriage, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly said in a firm tone, "I quite like this feature. Whether there's a better one or not, I won't change it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qin Sheng doesn't care about formalities. He is the kind of person who will prepare well, but if you have different opinions, he will do as you say. So as long as Xu Zhaoyi likes it, it's fine.
"Why did you suddenly think of basking in the sun on the rooftop? Do you need me to take you out for a walk?" Qin Sheng pulled out the chair next to him and sat down.
Xu Zhaoyi shook his head: "No, I just suddenly remembered something, but it was very vague. I thought breathing some fresh air to wake myself up and see if it would help."
"If you want to know anything, you can ask me. Once I describe it, you might be able to remember it."
"You are sleeping, I can't wake you up and ask you." Xu Zhaoyi smiled. He said so, but now that Qin Sheng woke up and came to him, he had no intention of asking.
This reaction made Qin Sheng's heart skip a beat. Don't tell him he's really thinking about his past life. He really can't just let him write a random script for him again. What if he gets the role card of the Prince of Revenge...
He cautiously probed, "Can you tell me? I might actually know more than you do."
Xu Zhaoyi's face flashed with a trace of struggle, but after glancing at the ring on his hand, he pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just remembered that you used the matter of marrying Nian Yue to force me to choose between letting me watch you get married or marrying you myself."
Qin Sheng silently put down half of his heart when he heard this.
Xu Zhaoyi continued, "I don't quite understand. You're obviously quite good-looking and have a good personality. Even if I want my good friend to have the freedom to marry, there's no reason for me to be so against Nianyue marrying you, even to the point of having to sacrifice myself for you, unless..."
The half worry that had just been put down was lifted up again.
"Unless I already liked you back then, so did we have a fight and break up? You forced me to choose by marrying Nian Yue, and then I really cared too much and fell for it?"
My heart slowly fell back into my chest.
Qin Sheng exhaled imperceptibly. Good news, it wasn't the character card of the Prince of Revenge, but the male protagonist of a sadistic story.
"That's not the case. My attitude wasn't sincere at the time. I was just looking for a partner to marry. Miss Jin, marrying me was obviously not a good choice. You saw that, so you chose to work with me."
He thought for a moment and emphasized, "You chose that because my goal is cooperation, not marriage. I think you're more suitable than Miss Jin, and you probably don't want Miss Jin to sacrifice her marriage and face danger."
Xu Zhaoyi was silent for a long moment before he said, "Can you tell me? You're really a very frank bastard."
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "I told you before, between you and me, I am the one who needs to be morally judged."
Xu Zhaoyi rolled his eyes at him.
I thought to myself, if I could still fall in love with you like this, I might not be a good person either.
