Chapter 852 Extra 18: Slap in the Face, Memory Recovery, Confession
She jumped so fast that she almost fell over.
A large hand supported her waist.
Her hands were long, slender, and fair, like carved jade.
In May, she slapped the hand away with a "smack" and said fiercely, "Don't you dare take advantage of me."
Before the owner of the hand could react, she slammed the car door shut and walked away without looking back.
Xize, who was about to get off the bus, was speechless.
Job, the butler who witnessed the entire process and also served as the driver: "..."
well.
He had said long ago that their owner should exercise more.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to beat a girl.
Luo Ziqiu witnessed this scene and was even more astonished.
Florence has strict regulations governing its streets.
To protect the environment, vehicles are subject to daily license plate restrictions.
Today, only vehicles with license plate numbers ending in "1" are allowed to travel.
But the license plate of the stretch Lincoln he saw was "9999".
Such license plate numbers are already extremely rare, yet they are still allowed to travel on restricted days.
In May, completely unaware of the Luo family father and son, he happily entered the central shopping mall.
"Ziqiu, look!" Mr. Luo exclaimed, as if he had just entered a grand garden. "Florence's technology is truly amazing, Ziqiu!"
Luo Ziqiu pursed his lips tightly, trying to control his overwhelming emotions: "Dad, I saw the fifth month."
"What?" Mr. Luo was taken aback, then frowned. "Fifth Month? What's she doing here? Did she come with you?"
“I don’t know either.” Luo Ziqiu shook his head. “Besides, she was riding in a car that only nobles here have.”
"Don't worry about her." Mr. Law waved his hand. "No matter what kind of noble they are in Florence, they will all be under the control of the Laurent family."
"Just focus on preparing for tomorrow's report meeting; don't worry about anything else."
Hearing these words, Luo Ziqiu's unease did not subside.
After thinking about it, he didn't go in with Wu Yue, but instead took a taxi to the hotel.
**
Inside the central shopping mall.
"Hello, miss," the counter clerk smiled. "Will you be paying by card or cash?"
"Swipe the card." Fifth Month touched her pocket and pulled out only a black gold card.
She was somewhat puzzled.
She clearly brought three international bank cards, so how come she only has this black gold card left?
In May, after searching through all my pockets, I still couldn't find a second bank card.
She conceded defeat and handed over the black gold card.
"Please wait a moment." The counter lady took it.
With a "beep", the POS machine made a sound.
When the clerk handed the card back, she immediately noticed the golden iris logo.
There is also a lowercase S next to it.
She couldn't help but gasp, staring at Fifth Month in shock.
In an instant, their eyes changed.
The Laurent Bank S-level Black Card is only available to the head of the Laurent family and Ying Zijin.
What is the relationship between this Eastern girl and the Laurent family?
The saleswoman, in a daze, handed out the fifth month, feeling as if she had discovered a tremendous secret.
She steadied her racing heart, secretly took out her phone, and called her best friend: "Hey, I have some gossip to tell you. You know the head of the Laurent family, right? He might..."
The fifth month knew nothing about this.
After buying the clothes, she sent them back to Fifth Wind and the others. After wandering around outside for a while, she returned to Laurent Castle.
Xize sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed.
His figure is so perfect it's like a sculpture.
Even after seeing him many times, May still had to admit that it was indeed a face that could drive many people crazy.
“These are wedding candies from the Venus Group.” Xize pointed to the box of chocolates on the table. “They’re not available anywhere else; there are only ten of these worldwide. I saved them for you.”
May also likes sweets. She walked up to him and said, "Oh, you're so nice today."
She opened the first chocolate-covered liquor package.
Just as I was about to happily take out the chocolate, I found nothing.
This is an empty package that has been folded into the shape of a chocolate.
May: "..."
She then picked up the next one, opened it, and found nothing inside except air.
Fifth Month slowly raised her head and looked at Xize: "You didn't eat it all, and then pretend you didn't to lie to me, did you?"
"Are there really people this childish?"
As Xize held the tea, his every move exuded the air of a noble young master from a prominent family in O Continent.
Upon hearing this, he frowned: "Hmm? Which chocolate factory did they hire? Their quality control is so poor?"
Seeing that the young man looked calm and composed, and that it didn't seem fake, Wu Yue assumed that the factory hadn't managed things well, so he continued dismantling.
Empty shells were piled up all over the ground.
Undeterred, she tore open the last chocolate wrapper.
Empty.
Xize finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Aaaaaah!" Fifth Month was furious. She lunged at him and punched him hard. "Go to hell!"
She thought he had reformed, but he still likes to bully her like this!
"Cough cough!" Xize grabbed her hand. "Third-class disabled person, stop fooling around."
The girl was petite, and he easily held her in his arms with both hands.
An unprecedented intimacy.
Xize's body tensed up again.
The fifth month said fiercely, "I'll bite you to death!"
She showed her little tiger teeth and was about to bite down.
A wave of dizziness washed over her, and everything went black before her eyes. She lost consciousness.
Xize wanted to play with the little girl in his arms, but when he saw that she had lost consciousness, his expression changed instantly.
"Yueyue!" He picked her up and shouted sternly, "Doctor, Job, call the doctor right now!"
**
I had a very long dream in May.
In her dream, she went to a very magical place.
The technology there is very advanced, with an air transport system and all sorts of new weapons.
While shopping with her beloved master, she met a rich, simple-minded man who turned out to be the fifth of the twenty-two sages, the emperor, making her jealous for a long time.
She then saw the City of the World appear before her, its central area now a ruin.
She also saw her biting her fingertips, using her blood to create a spell.
There was a cacophony of sounds around me.
"I told you, don't count me in,"
"You third-degree disabled person, what are you doing?!"
"Yueyue! Yueyue, stop!"
"Ah!" Fifth Month suddenly woke up with a start.
She clutched her heart, her forehead covered in sweat.
She looked dazed.
That wasn't a dream; it was everything she had experienced.
She had clearly staked her entire lifespan on calculating Ying Zijing's fate.
Why is she still alive and well?
This is illogical.
In May, she subconsciously lowered her head.
He knelt beside her bed, his hair slightly disheveled.
He always pays attention to his appearance and rarely looks like this.
Wu Yue hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed a handful of Xize's hair.
Oh, what a pity, it's not gold.
"Awake?" The young man's voice was slightly hoarse as he looked up. "Is anything bothering you?"
His eyes were as blue as the ocean, deep and unfathomable.
Looking at him like that, Fifth Month suddenly burst into tears: "You lied to me."
She felt wronged: "How could you lie to me like that?"
Nishizawa: "..."
Oh no.
This memory has returned just in time.
"I just thought you were cute and wanted to tease you." Xize was a little flustered. He handed her a piece of paper. "Don't cry."
May was still crying, heartbroken: "Being cute is no excuse for you to lie to me!"
This was the first time Xize had ever seen her cry like this, and his voice softened: "I apologize to you."
"An apology isn't enough; you need to return all the money I gave you."
"Okay." Xize breathed a slight sigh of relief. "It's nothing."
In May, her voice was muffled: "I want to eat all the world's delicacies, and you'll pay the bill."
"Um."
"I also need rare ores, which can only be found in Antarctica. Go and mine them."
"no problem."
He agreed to everything May said without the slightest impatience.
"You made a vow, you can't break it, or you'll get fat and ugly."
"I will not break my promise."
Fifth Month rubbed her eyes, her expression changing in an instant: "Hehe, just kidding."
She's smart.
Although she was really sad.
Nishizawa: "..."
OK.
He admitted defeat.
“Very good.” Caesar loosened his collar and smiled. “Next, let’s talk about real debt.”
In May, she wiped away her tears and looked at him: "You were the one who lied to me. There was no real debt between us."
"You remember the Twenty-Two Sages, and you know the Sage Lover's abilities now, right?" Xize said calmly. "To save you, I gave you half of my lifespan."
Fifth Month was taken aback: "Coexistence?"
Nishizawa: "Good to know."
In May, she covered her face.
It's over.
She really is heavily in debt.
This is not a cause and effect that can be severed simply by repaying the money.
"How am I supposed to pay back the debt?" Fifth Month asked dejectedly. "I didn't ask you to save me."
“Since you’re so eager to pay off your debts, why don’t you—” Xize said slowly, “offer yourself to me. I have everything I need, except someone to manage my assets.”
These words made May's heart skip a beat, and her brain freeze: "What did you say?"
The young man leaned down and gently wiped away her remaining tear stains with his fingertips: "I don't like you. Do you really think you can fool me?"
Because I like it, I'm willing to do it.
He'll give her whatever she wants.
This time, it was May's turn to be at a loss. She stammered, "I...I...I haven't been in many relationships yet, you...you..."
"So, you agree?" Xize seemed surprised, then paused thoughtfully. "To get married tomorrow?"
May: "..."
What kind of brain circuitry does this straight man have?
How can you get married before even dating?
“Who agreed to that?” Fifth Month said angrily. “You said you’re called ‘Apollo of Florence,’ so you must have a lot of women. I’m still innocent. No way, I’m at a disadvantage.”
“How could I have that time?” Xize was taken aback. “I was busy making money, and before I finished making money, I was assassinated.”
"Oh yeah, you're so unlucky," Fifth Month said gleefully. "You made so much money but didn't live to spend it."
Xize shrugged: "It's okay, you can have it."
"Considering you've been single for so long, I, this lovely young lady, will reluctantly agree." Fifth Month turned her head away. "Six-month trial period."
Xize paused for a moment: "...Probation period?"
“Of course, this is a trial period for being my boyfriend.” Fifth Month calculated it all out. “If you’re not right for me, I’ll dump you and find someone else.”
Xize's eyes flashed dangerously for a moment, but he smiled and said, "Don't even think about it."
If she dares to kick him, he'll make a gold chain and handcuff her.
**
On the Chinese side.
In front of the Ji family villa, a sports car capable of operating in three modes—land, sea, and air—was parked in mid-air.
After Ying Zijing and Fu Yunshen got in, the sports car quickly drove away.
“I’m really looking forward to the four of them coming back,” Suwen said with a smile. “But three is fine too, I love both my grandson and granddaughter.”
Lu Yuan frowned: "No, grandson is still better."
"Huh?" Suwen was somewhat surprised. "How come I never noticed before that you were sexist? If you are sexist, I'll take Yaoyao and leave, and you can live alone."
"No, no, no, if it's a granddaughter, who knows which brat will kidnap her? I'm afraid I won't be able to control my urge to beat him up." Lu Yuan choked. "If it's a grandson, he can kidnap someone else, preferably a pretty little girl."
Suwen thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."
Lu Yuan glanced around: "Where's Feng Mian? Yao Yao left today, why isn't he here?"
“Mr. Wen has also gone to Country G,” Suwen said. “As you know, the space carrier experimental project is something Yaoyao has been pursuing, and Mr. Wen will definitely give his full support.”
Sixty percent of the researchers from the Ji family participated in this project.
True researchers, no matter how many thorns lie ahead, will never forget their original aspirations and will forge ahead bravely.
It was also because the Ji family sent their core members to support Dean Hervin and Dean Norman that several scientific research families from other countries ridiculed them for a long time.
To put it bluntly, the space carrier experimental project, established two years ago, is still just an empty shell on paper.
Perhaps we can figure it out in the future, but who knows if it will be hundreds of years from now?
“Hmm.” Lu Yuan frowned. “I can’t help much with the technology, but if the space carrier is successfully built, I can apply for escort.”
Let alone other universes.
Even outside our solar system, there are wondrous cosmic creatures.
The research institute once sent astronauts who encountered a jellyfish-like cosmic creature during a flight and were nearly sucked into a black hole.
Suwen thought seriously for a moment: "Ayuan, wake up, you probably can't beat him."
Lu Yuan: "..."
Nothing could be more heartbreaking than this.
On the other side.
“Xiao Li, school has started. Yao Yao and Mr. Fu have gone on their honeymoon, and Dad is busy with experiments. You’ll still be living at school.” Ji Yihang said while getting dressed. “If the school food doesn’t suit your taste, tell your mom and ask her to make you braised pork ribs and send them over.”
Ji Li slung her backpack over her shoulder and said, "Okay."
Although Ying Zijing has no blood relation with the Ji family, they all treat her like a real family member.
"Oh, right." Ji Yihang seemed to remember something and said, "Look, Yaoyao is already married, and you still don't have a boyfriend. That's not good. When are you going to bring a boyfriend home?"
"Dad, how old am I?" Ji Li said helplessly. "You can't compare me to Ying Shen, and I don't have time to date."
"Sigh, Dad is just reminding you." Ji Yihang went out. "I told you to date in high school, but you didn't. You're almost a sophomore in college, and you still haven't dated."
"Early dating is like early practice; how can you grow if you don't practice?"
Ji Li: "..."
Her father was too open-minded, leaving her speechless.
Ji Li rode her bicycle to Imperial University.
She has no classes in the morning and the first two periods in the afternoon, so she has a very leisurely life every day.
The biochemistry lab class has a designated classroom. Ji Li went in and put her bag down.
Without even looking at the other people in the classroom, she took out her iPad and started organizing her notes.
"Ji Li, didn't you say you knew Ying Zijin?" a voice rang out, tinged with sarcasm. "Why didn't she give you a chance to go to G country? Or were you just bragging?"
Ji Li didn't speak.
Ying Zijin mentioned it to her last month, telling her to go if she wanted.
However, she felt that her current abilities were not sufficient and planned to finish this semester before going there.
She never publicized her relationship with Ying Zijin.
"Ji Li, I'm asking you a question." The owner of the voice walked in. "Aren't you a genius girl? I saw the school send students over, and your name wasn't on the list. Why aren't you being arrogant anymore?"
Someone tried to dissuade her: "Ning Zi, stop talking. No one from our biochemistry department was selected either."
“I’m going to say it,” Zhen Ningzi sneered. “Who knows how she got into this class? The biochemistry lab class isn’t even open to freshmen, so how did she get in during her freshman year?!”
Ji Li was too lazy to argue with Zhen Ningzi.
Zhen Ningzi simply couldn't stand her.
Zhen Ningzi was one year older than her.
However, Zhen Ningzi did not pass the assessment for her year's biochemistry experimental class; she was just one place short.
However, Zhen Ningzi was very popular and would sometimes come to the biochemistry lab to borrow notes.
Ji Li didn't care.
She holds the top spot in the entire college and the national scholarship. What can Zhen Ningzi do if she can't stand her?
Zhen Ningzi scoffed: "Since you can't go, don't be so arrogant in the future, understand?"
Ji Li finally raised her head.
"Excuse me." A knock sounded at the door, and the boy's voice was cool and clear. "Is Ji Li here?"
Shao Ying and Ji Li are a couple, but I won't go into details; I'll stop here.
I hate myself for writing the side story, sob sob.
Lu Yuan: I wonder which brat is trying to kidnap my granddaughter :)
