Chapter 104
Jin Chuwan ignored Yin Zhihua's teasing. She asked the waiter to bring her a bottle opener and then threw it directly to Yin Zhihua.
The young man sat casually, raising an eyebrow at the object thrown at him, then glancing casually at Jin Chuwan. "You've certainly got the knack for ordering people around..."
However, after complaining, he still stood up. The waiter next to him was about to come over to help, but Yin Zhihua politely declined with a smile.
He poured the wine slowly and deliberately, but his eyes were fixed on the table of guests not far away.
Or rather, the two old friends the servant just described.
Cheng Xiucheng looked at the wine glass pushed in front of him, frowned, and glanced back.
He felt a sense of familiarity with the young man who had greeted him earlier, but he couldn't quite place him.
After looking away, he turned his gaze to Jin Chuwan.
She seemed perfectly normal, and even unusually helped him serve the food.
To be honest, he usually does these kinds of jobs.
Was she deliberately being gentle because there were other people around?
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Cheng Xiucheng's eyes.
Suddenly, his head started to hurt again.
Cheng Xiucheng pressed his temples, wanting to go home and rest, but Jin Chuwan was in Chengtang and didn't notice him at all.
He hesitated for a moment but still held back.
Kim Cho-wan placed the soup bowl in front of Sung Soo-seung, then glanced at the various delicacies on the table.
After spending half the day helping Cheng Xiucheng, she was actually quite hungry, but the moment she saw Li Xing'en, she suddenly lost her appetite.
Although she appeared calm and composed, her mind was actually in turmoil.
It was so sudden.
She had barely figured out the recent situation and hadn't even decided on her next move when they suddenly appeared in front of her.
Moreover, as the waiter just mentioned, the person sitting over there is his boss.
If that's the case, then her life all these years has actually been under their watchful eyes?
Truly absurd...
Thinking of this, Jin Chuwan picked up her wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Yin Zhihua, who was cutting steak, raised his eyelids in surprise.
"You have a high alcohol tolerance?"
He finished cutting the food and changed two plates.
Their eyes met; one smiled, the other remained indifferent.
"Anyway, it's right next to the apartment, so if I get drunk, I can just go home and sleep."
You don't have to think about these troublesome things.
Yin Zhihua chuckled, "You seem quite open-minded." Then he glanced behind him, "But that lunatic over there has been staring at you with great interest the whole time..."
Upon hearing the word "lunatic," Cheng Xiucheng pressed his head and raised it.
"What kind of lunatic?" he said, looking at Jin Chuwan with concern. "Is someone harassing you?"
Jin Chuwan shook her head upon hearing this. She chuckled and glanced at Yin Zhihua across from her. "Don't listen to his nonsense. He's the biggest lunatic here."
"Why would a great star like you choose to play the role of a homeless person here?"
Cheng Xiucheng looked up in surprise when he heard Jin Chuwan say that, and his gaze toward Yin Zhihua became much more polite at that moment.
"So you're a celebrity! Nice to meet you..."
Yin Zhihua looked at the strange Cheng Xiucheng, then turned her gaze back to Jin Chuwan.
"……This is?"
Kim Cho-wan ate her steak while filling her glass again.
"You might not believe it, but your brother Xiucheng was in a car accident recently and suffered a brain injury. He doesn't remember anything right now. Chengya's idea is that she can't get away from him for the time being, so I'll take care of him for now..."
Yin Zhihua paused in his drinking motion. Before he could speak, he heard Cheng Xiucheng's muffled voice.
"How can you say that you've been taking care of me? I've clearly been doing housework too."
Jin Chuwan smiled and nodded when she heard this.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work."
Sung Soo-seung, having been appeased, nodded in satisfaction. However, he was so engrossed in chatting with Kim Cho-wan that he completely missed the young man sitting opposite him, whose expression shifted from astonishment to silence, and then from silence to an indescribable complexity.
"This...him?"
Yin Zhihua raised his head, his gaze shifting back and forth between Jin Chuwan and Cheng Xiucheng. Perhaps because he was too shocked, he didn't know what to say first.
However, what came to his mind first were the misunderstandings that Jin Chuwan had deliberately said during their previous argument.
"What... How did you become such a good liar..."
The young man turned his head to the side as he spoke, his tone filled with resentment, but even more so with powerlessness and helplessness.
Recalling his previous embarrassment, Yin Zhihua also picked up his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Such expensive red wine seemed to become a drink to relieve boredom in front of the two of them.
But this does nothing to alleviate the problem.
After drinking it, his memories of the past few days actually became clearer, and Yin Zhihua groaned in frustration.
Seriously, he acted like an idiot.
He held his forehead, his whole being enveloped in indescribable emotions.
Jin Chuwan ignored him. She felt she had eaten enough, so she called over a servant to prepare the bill.
A servant came over shortly afterward.
He looked at Kim Cho-wan and then smiled respectfully.
"Hello, miss, the boss said to put this order under his name."
Jin Chuwan turned around and looked back when she heard this, but the two people who had been sitting there were no longer there.
She nodded: "Okay, thank you."
After she finished speaking, she looked back at Cheng Xiucheng. The man had his head down, and she couldn't tell if he was drunk or feeling unwell.
"Sung Soo-seung? We're home..."
Jin Chuwan whispered in his ear.
The man nodded and stood up. Yin Zhihua saw Jin Chuwan speaking gently to Cheng Xiucheng, and her gaze towards him was filled with suspicion.
How can a perfectly healthy person suddenly lose their memory?
Could it be an act...?
He pursed his lips, but in the end said nothing, and simply put his mask back on.
As the three were about to leave, Kim Cho-wan was suddenly stopped by a servant in a polite manner.
"Excuse me, miss, please wait a moment."
Jin Chuwan frowned, about to ask what was wrong, when she looked up and saw a tall young man carrying flowers walking in from outside. His eyes lit up the moment he saw her.
"That's great, I was worried I wouldn't make it."
It had been several years since we last met, but the handsome and gentle young man from back then seemed to have not changed much. His gaze was still as gentle as water, and he would attract attention wherever he went.
Jin Chuwan adjusted the strap of her bag. She wasn't drunk, just a little dizzy.
Therefore, his gaze towards Li Xing'en was somewhat unsteady.
"you……"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the bouquet in the other person's hand was pulled into her arms, and the next second, Li Xingen bent down and left a kiss on her face.
By the time Kim Cho-wan realized it, he had already left.
"I came in a hurry and didn't bring you a decent gift."
He looked at her, then his gaze shifted to the bouquet in her arms.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
But the response he received was a sarcastic, unpleasant voice.
"I love it... I really love it to death..."
Yin Zhihua walked in front of Jin Chuwan, blocking the two of them. He smiled fakely and wiped Jin Chuwan's cheeks back and forth with his sleeve.
"We're acquaintances, so why didn't Boss Li send me a bouquet too?"
Li Xing'en watched his actions with her smile unwavering: "If you like, I can transfer some money to you. The flower shop isn't far away, it's just on the next street."
Yin Zhihua was disgusted by this flippant reply; he really hated dealing with such hypocritical and evasive people.
"Thank you so much. I hope Mr. Li will keep his word. I'll send you the card number in the next couple of days. Please remember to transfer plenty."
After saying that, he pulled Jin Chuwan and walked out of the store.
Cheng Xiucheng pressed his head and slowly followed. He had also wanted to stop Li Xing'en, but his head hurt too much.
Li Xing'en stood there watching the three people walk away.
Not long after, Jiang Chen came out of the bathroom, picked up his coat, and walked over slowly.
"They're gone?"
Everything in the restaurant was obvious, so his question seemed superfluous.
But Li Xingen still smiled and nodded, then suddenly took out his phone and looked at it for a while.
"This outfit suits her quite well; I don't think I've seen her like this before..."
Jiang Chen glanced down at Li Xing'en's phone, which contained many photos, both close-up and distant, and of course, all of them featured Jin Chuwan as the main subject.
Those dark eyes swept over Li Xing'en, revealing a faint indifference and boredom.
"I've said it before, if you don't want to be eliminated, then stop being so crazy."
After saying that, he picked up his coat and went out.
Li Xing'en raised an eyebrow, then slowly followed, "What I have are clearly public student photos or court recordings, okay? Don't make me sound like a pervert..."
Jiang Chen glanced back at Li Xing'en, then looked at the restaurant behind him.
"So I misunderstood you?"
Li Xingen chuckled but did not answer.
Just then, his phone rang. Li Xing'en glanced at the number, his expression changed slightly, and he walked to the side before pressing the answer button.
Jiang Chen glanced at the young man not far away. Of course, he couldn't hear what was being said on the phone, but seeing his cheerful expression, he guessed that the previous arrangements had made progress.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's face showed a hint of mockery. Putting aside Li Xing'en's methods, Ming Jing's father was really a bit greedy to be trapped in such a situation.
The driver, who was waiting not far away, saw Jiang Chen approaching and respectfully opened the car door.
The restaurant staff glanced at the two who had walked away and finally found an opportunity to get together.
"It was my first time meeting the boss. He was handsome and had a great demeanor. When I accidentally spilled food on his clothes, he comforted me and told me not to worry about it..."
"Really?"
"But speaking of which, the guests at that table by the window are really handsome..."
Several waitresses were chatting happily.
As one of those praised, Sung Soo-seung went back to his apartment and went to his room to rest.
Jin Chuwan noticed that something was wrong with him and wanted to persuade him to go to the hospital, but Cheng Xiucheng refused. He closed his eyes and only said that he felt unwell after drinking alcohol.
That refined and handsome face now appeared somewhat fragile and pale, with strands of hair clinging to his face along with sweat.
Jin Chuwan couldn't pull him away, so she had to coax him first.
"Change your clothes before you go to sleep."
Cheng Xiucheng opened his eyes in a daze. He sat up unsteadily, and because his fingers were weak, it took him a long time to unbutton his shirt up to the collar.
Jin Chuwan looked at his bare chest with a sense of helplessness.
"Never mind, I'll do it."
Cheng Ya always heard Cheng Xiucheng say that he loved to travel all over the world, but his skin under his clothes was so fair and delicate that it seemed like he had never seen the light.
Since losing his memory, Cheng Xiucheng has become very obedient, and he usually listens to Jin Chuwan.
But he's not quite right now, so when Jin Chuwan asked him to raise his hand a few times, he didn't budge.
Jin Chuwan had no choice but to stand on the bed to help him.
The man was a little hot, probably because he was sweating. His thin shirt seemed to be stuck to him, and the more you tried to take it off, the less you could pull it off.
Jin Chuwan was a little anxious, and her movements were slightly too forceful.
--
Yin Zhihua received a call from Ran Xian as soon as he entered the house. After he finished listening, he was the only one left in the living room. He heard noises coming from the next room, so he went over out of curiosity.
But the moment he pushed open the door, he froze.
Cheng Xiucheng lay on the bed like a tattered rag, while Jin Chuwan sat sideways on the edge of the bed. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her hands were tugging at Cheng Xiucheng's sleeves, but with her slightly rough movements.
Yin Zhihua heard a muffled sound of clothes being torn.
He was so shocked today that he was almost numb.
"No, Jin Chuwan, he's already like this..."
He had barely finished speaking when he received a cold stare from Jin Chuwan.
Yin Zhihua, feeling glared at, lowered his head and chuckled softly.
To be honest, for a moment when he saw it, he really did have some dirty thoughts.
Who changes clothes in such an exaggerated way...?
"Alright, you can get down now. I'll help him change."
Jin Chuwan glanced at the tear in her clothes, scratched her head, crossed her arms, and stood to the side. After Yin Zhihua changed into his pajamas, she looked down at her watch.
"That's fine for now. Let him sleep for two hours. If he's still not feeling well, then call the hospital..."
