A big hand grabbed her clothes from behind, but the expected pain did not come. Instead, she swayed back a few times and fell into someone's arms.
A refreshing and pleasant scent of soap emanated from the man. Fan Xi raised her eyes and looked at him. This man was none other than Zhao Yilu who had followed closely behind her.
"Comrade Zhao, thank you for what you did just now!" Fan Xi said in a low voice.
Zhao Yilu loosened his hand and said calmly, "Be careful with your steps."
"Oh, okay~"
After saying that, Fan Yu continued walking forward. He stopped at the junction of the carriages. Because the junction was shaking violently, and the wind was blowing in through the gap between the doors, this was the only place where no one was sleeping.
Fan Xi turned around and looked at Zhao Yilu, and the two began to chat in low voices.
"Comrade Zhao, thank you so much. Consider the two hundred yuan and the things you left on my seat as a loan. I'll pay you back slowly when I go south and make some money."
Zhao Yilu was about to say no, but then he thought, if he could make her remember the money she owed him, then they could keep in touch. So he asked seriously, "How are you going to pay me back?"
"Well……"
Fan Xi had never expected him to ask so directly. After a moment's thought, he replied seriously, "I'll find a way to make money when I'm in the south. When I have more money and a regular income, I'll remit the money to you. Just give me the address of your unit. I won't be a deadbeat."
As soon as Fan Xi finished speaking, Zhao Yilu pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Fan Xi. "This is the address and public phone number of our unit. Once you've settled down in Guangzhou, remember to contact me as soon as possible. If you can't find a job, that's fine. You can use this money to take a bus back to Kyoto, and I'll call my grandfather to help you find a job."
Fan Xi took the address and didn't listen to what Zhao Yilu said at all. She absolutely would not go to Kyoto, and she didn't want Zhao Yilu's family to know about her savings. She planned to return the money to him according to this address after she went to the south and made some money.
"Okay, I'll definitely return the money to you as soon as possible. Also, Comrade Zhao, I have one more favor to ask of you."
Zhao Yilu looked at Fan Xi in confusion, waiting for her to continue.
"That's right, could you please not tell your brother about meeting me? I know you helped me out of your brother's favor, but I don't want to have any contact with him in the future, so I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
"My brother? What happened between you and my brother?" Zhao Yilu looked at Fan Xi suspiciously, hoping to see something from her face.
"Yes, your brother He Siyan, I think he must have told you about what happened between us that night, so that's why you helped me like this."
Zhao Yilu looked at Fan Xi's serious little face, and suddenly many guesses came to his mind. Did she think that the person who slept with her that night was her brother?
But if she remembered that incident, how could she not recognize him? She was awake that night! Zhao Yilu's mind was full of doubts.
"Do you remember that?"
"I remember, how could I not remember!"
"Do you know me, then?"
"Didn't you say your name is Zhao Yilu~" Fan Yu was also confused and didn't understand why Zhao Yilu asked that.
"Then how do you know I am He Siyan's younger brother?" Zhao Yilu asked again.
Fan Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking, isn't it because you met the original owner Fan Lixi when you came to the village to visit your brother, so why did you recognize me at the first sight?
But Fan Xi didn't dare to ask at all. Seeing Zhao Yilu's expression as if the original owner shouldn't know that he was He Siyan's younger brother, he guessed, could it be that Zhao Yilu knew the original owner, but the original owner didn't know Zhao Yilu?
Oh, why is it so confusing? Why didn’t she inherit the original owner’s memories when she was allowed to travel through the book? It’s really troublesome!
Fan Xi suddenly had an idea and came up with a reason that would be difficult for both He Siyan and Zhao Yilu to verify: "Oh, it was that night, your brother got drunk and talked in his sleep, and mentioned the name Zhao Yilu. I asked him who Zhao Yilu was, and he told me with certainty that Zhao Yilu was He Siyan's younger brother..."
Fan Xi felt that he was simply too clever to come up with such a perfect excuse.
Zhao Yilu looked into Fan Xi's eyes, wondering if he had said anything in his sleep that night, but as Fan Xi expected, he was drunk at the time, and apart from remembering that he had had sex with Fan Lixi, he really couldn't remember anything else.
He stared at Fan Xi and continued to ask, "Do you still remember what my brother looks like?"
Fan Xi thought for a moment and shook his head truthfully: "I don't remember. Didn't I tell you I hit my head? I only remember a few things and names from the past, but I can't remember what those people looked like."
