Chapter 61 Why did he deliberately provoke me while drunk?
"Xu Wenci, I admit defeat."
Fu Yanli lowered his head.
"What are you admitting defeat for?"
Xu Wenci scoffed.
Giving up to the script?
Admitting defeat to the rules?
Or should we admit defeat to Xu Wenci from the previous world?
“Xu Wenci…” Fu Yanli pursed his lips, a hint of pleading flashing in his eyes, “Do you know what your first reaction was when I had memories of the previous world?”
"nausea."
How can there be such disgusting people in the world?
Selfish and greedy.
Having done so many wrong things, how can you expect forgiveness?
Knowing that forgiveness is impossible, I pretended to be an innocent person...
It's so disgusting it makes you want to vomit.
Xu Wenci moved his fingers, lowered his eyes, and stared at his right hand.
My hands were covered in blood. Drops of blood slowly slid down to my fingertips, lingered there for only a moment, and then fell to the ground, spreading out as a red stain.
Fu Yanli followed Xu Wenci's gaze and saw that Xu Wenci was clenching his fists tightly, as if he were holding something important in his palm. He clenched his fists until his fingertips turned white, and he refused to let go.
However, there was clearly nothing wrong with his right hand.
It seems that Xu Wenci now dislikes him.
Because his calves started to ache again.
However, it's not as severe as before.
Does this mean that Xu Wenci doesn't dislike him as much anymore?
Fu Yanli blinked again, feeling that the previous answer didn't sound so unpleasant anymore.
Xu Wenci narrowed his eyes, knowing that Fu Yanli was imagining things again.
"Let's call a truce," Fu Yanli said earnestly.
Xu Wenci lowered his eyes.
When did he and Fu Yanli ever clash?
In the previous world, Fu Yanli had simply been ignoring him.
He was also expressing his dissatisfaction with this world in a single-minded way, along with Fu Yanli.
When have they ever targeted each other?
"Okay." Xu Wenci closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his tone was calm. "Answer me a few questions."
Fu Yanli had just nodded when, in the next instant, something cold pressed against his waist.
He lowered his head.
Xu Wenci remained calm, his amber eyes filled with emotions that Fu Yanli couldn't decipher at all. He simply held the dagger, the same style as the one from the previous world, and looked at Fu Yanli.
Almost instantly, Fu Yanli reflexively felt a dull pain in his chest.
This time, however, Fu Yanli finally had time to see Xu Wenci's expression clearly.
Is it excitement or not?
Still sad?
Or is it a combination of both?
"If you don't answer seriously, then go and continue lying to me in the next world." Xu Wenci narrowed his eyes.
Fu Yanli pursed his lips, habitually making small talk with Xu Wenci: "Is this dagger real? Where did you buy it?"
Xu Wenci, whose threat was ignored, raised an eyebrow.
Fu Yanli was still the same deadbeat.
There has been no progress whatsoever.
After Fu Yanli became a ghost in the previous world, Fu Yanli began to truly understand him, and he also began to truly understand Fu Yanli.
But it was too late.
Everything has already happened.
There will be no change whatsoever.
Even after arriving in this world, no one will forget the memories of the previous world.
"Get out of here if you spout any more nonsense!" Xu Wenci frowned, his face full of impatience.
He talked nonsense because he was drunk!
Fu Yanli reached out and gently touched his forehead, looking as if he could barely stand, and leaned against Xu Wenci: "Xu Wenci... I've been drinking."
Xu Wenci's eyes flickered slightly, and he pulled the dagger he was holding back a little.
Fu Yanli squinted and peeked.
After receiving a slap on the forehead from Xu Wenci, Fu Yanli obediently clung to Xu Wenci without saying a word.
He doesn't want to leave.
"When you first met me in this world, did you have memories of the previous world?" Xu Wenci asked.
"have."
Why did you recruit me?
"Even if I didn't hire you, you could still get in, and the result would be the same."
Xu Wenci shook his head. No, that's not right.
wrong.
If the outcome is the same, Fu Yanli will not have to bear the consequences, and he does not need to go to that extent.
Could it be... a test to see if he has memories of the previous world?
When did you find out I had memories of a past life?
"I knew it from the beginning."
"Why?"
“I refuse to answer.” Fu Yanli winked, a purple light swirling in his eyes, and held up a finger. “I also have the right to choose not to answer.”
Xu Wenci nodded.
This is not an important issue.
Continue asking other questions.
"You knew about the script from the beginning, so why did you pretend to listen to me..."
“I wasn’t pretending,” Fu Yanli said dejectedly, sitting on the edge of the bed. He sighed and started a completely unrelated topic, “You don’t care about me at all. I was drunk, and not only did you not make me lemon water, you also asked me a whole bunch of questions…”
As they talked, Fu Yanli started covering his head, pretending not to understand, and snuggled into Xu Wenci's arms.
Xu Wenci frowned. The feeling of nausea wasn't particularly strong, but he still narrowed his eyes seriously and warned Fu Yanli.
"answer the questions."
“Um…” Fu Yanli was lifted up and struggled symbolically for a couple of seconds. Just like when he was causing trouble in the last world and was caught by Xu Wenci, he shook his head slightly, trying to play dumb: “Because your analysis is too serious, I can’t bear to interrupt you.”
Xu Wenci picked up the ghost again, rolled his eyes at Fu Yanli just like in the last world, and said, "You don't tell a single truth..."
Not a single word of truth came out of his mouth...
Why hasn't the CEO's code of conduct punished this person yet...?
"Your first suicide attempt wasn't that time in the bathroom, was it..." Xu Wenci's lips twitched, and he lowered his eyes.
"I think I was in my teens," Fu Yanli recalled earnestly, then lay back down on the bed, sprawled out on his back staring at the ceiling. "I can't remember..."
"At the age of twenty-six, you regained your memories from your previous life, didn't you?"
"Um."
"What did you want to do the moment you regained your memories?"
"To see you."
His amber eyes widened in an instant.
He never expected Fu Yanli to say that.
"Why do you want to see me..."
Fu Yanli suddenly burst out laughing: "Xu Wenci, why are you interrogating me like a criminal, asking so many questions all at once... Can't I have some boiled lemon water first?"
"No." Xu Wenci refused in a serious tone.
The more Fu Yanli tries to avoid a question, the more likely he is to be lying about it.
"Hangover medicine..." Xu Wenci threw a strip of medicine directly into Fu Yanli's arms.
"Hehe," Fu Yanli took the strip of medicine in his hand and examined it carefully, "It's expired..."
"I'm planning to poison you to death..."
I'm getting revenge on you for trying to poison me with your cooking in the last world.
"You're not actually drunk... Can you stop pretending..."
Xu Wenci now vaguely understands that he was deceived by Fu Yanli since the last world.
Fu Yanli's alcohol tolerance is far from sufficient to make him drunk so easily.
He's been pretending to be drunk since the last century.
He would pretend to be drunk after each drinking session.
In the previous world, he never wondered why Fu Yanli could lead him upstairs without any problems after drinking, but needed someone else to help him find the door...
So, he wasn't so easily drunk after all?
Xu Wenci narrowed his eyes, pinched Fu Yanli's waist muscles, and said fiercely, "Every time you do this... for what..."
Fu Yanli feigned ignorance and winked at Xu Wenci, "I'm really drunk... I'll go berserk if I don't drink the boiled lemon water..."
Xu Wenci was so angry he laughed.
In the last world, people would kiss and grope each other indiscriminately when they were drunk. In this world, people are so restrained when they're drunk, they dare not do anything.
Do people who get drunk and act crazy even consider the situation?
"What's going on?" Xu Wenci picked up Fu Yanli again and pinched the skin on the side of Fu Yanli's neck fiercely, as if he wanted to bite Fu Yanli to death.
Fu Yanli: See? He's just an apple under the feet of a raging dinosaur.
"I didn't drink."
"..."
Xu Wenci clenched his fists. This person... no, this ghost... has so many tricks up his sleeve...
“I just spilled the wine on myself and took a sip,” Fu Yanli said, turning his head away from Xu Wenci’s eyes and speaking in a low voice, afraid that Xu Wenci would suddenly explode and he would seize the opportunity to refute her. “But even after taking a sip, I still feel very uncomfortable.”
Xu Wenci smiled: "Why are you telling me now..."
"I'm a little embarrassed."
Xu Wenci clenched his fist, then relaxed it.
asshole.
The next second, he grabbed Fu Yanli by the collar, pinned the person lying on the bed with their head turned to the side, and then slammed the person in front of him onto the sofa.
Seemingly still not satisfied, he kicked the person in front of him hard again.
They were still wearing shoes.
So Fu Yanli's suit trousers had an extra footprint.
Fu Yanli rolled his eyes.
"sorry……"
Xu Wenci twisted his neck, opened his mouth slightly, and said in a low voice, "Fu Yanli, why are you deliberately provoking me?"
So that I'll kill you?
In order for me to vent my anger at you, I can then tell you the truth.
But... between the two of us, it has always been you who has been dishonest.
These things are clearly not big deals.
These things won't affect anything.
But Fu Yanli never tells the truth about things that could change their lives or their relationship.
Never.
They've been hiding it all along.
It turns out they were still hiding it.
"Let's not talk about that for now. I'll ask you one last question: why did you try to find my mother for me?" He knew that all those thoughts he had shared were just him talking to himself, so he might as well ask the question directly.
Are you really looking for my mother to solve my problem?
"I am atoning for my sins."
Xu Wenci was momentarily stunned, his head filled with questions.
Has Fu Yanli wronged his mother?
“In the last world, I was sorry to you,” Fu Yanli said, still tilting his head, apologizing but not daring to look at the person in front of him. “It was my stubbornness, my selfishness and indifference, it was me…”
“Fu Yanli…”
Xu Wenci frowned slightly, his hand, which was hidden in his outstretched hand, was trembling slightly, and he could not even hold the phone. But his voice suddenly became very loud, and he shouted, even with a distorted tone, "Shut up."
"Atonement?" Xu Wenci sneered, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He got up, looked down at Fu Yanli who was lying on the bed with his arms raised to cover his face, gritted his teeth, and his temples throbbed.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have spoken to Fu Yanli.
He knew that Fu Yanli had always been like this.
He should have guessed it sooner.
He was the one shouting himself hoarse.
Fu Yanli remained completely unconcerned.
"She said that she would only agree to come to see me with you if you stayed with her for a week."
Xu Wenci, unable to contain his anger, grabbed Fu Yanli and pulled him up.
Fu Yanli, however, was like a spineless person, obediently being lifted and pulled by Xu Wenci's strength, but his head was always drooping, his eyes fixed on the floor, never looking into Xu Wenci's eyes.
"Are you really willing to go to such lengths to atone for your sins?"
Xu Wenci lowered his voice, gripped Fu Yanli's collar tightly, and looked as if he was laughing in anger.
"Is it guilt to drag me into this damn world?"
Is your feigned cooperation with me out of guilt?
Is it because you feel guilty that you've become a ghost and are still haunting me?
Is it your guilt to keep me in suspense by not telling me where the script is?
Do you feel guilty seeing me work with Fu Rongzhen?
Do you feel guilty watching me and Grandpa Qiao scheming against each other?
Do you feel guilty seeing me overwhelmed by a bunch of problems?
It's all because of guilt.
Fu Yanli turned his head away, still refusing to look at Xu Wenci.
He felt a strange coolness on his fingertips.
His fingers twitched slightly, and a small circle of dampness spread from his fingertips.
He froze, looked down at his fingertips.
Are they tears?
Are those Fu Yanli's tears?
This realization made Xu Wenci tremble.
His eyes felt as if they had been unexpectedly pricked by a fine needle.
