The living room is deadly silent.
There is no telling how long has passed before Zeng Xue trembles and asks.
âIs⦠Is Senior Wuyou usually this scary when sheâs angry?â
Thatâs horrible. Holy God! Although Wuyou doesnât say anything, everything about her indicates that she doesnât want to talk to Zeng Xue and Gungun. Or else, she will kill them and throw their body into the ocean to be the sharkâs food.
âI havenât seen Wuyou get angry in a long timeâ¦â Gungun swallows, âDo you think sheâs jealous of you?â
Zeng Xue looks at him like he is an idiot, âI donât think itâs about jealousy anymore. It is clear that sheâs very, very angryâ¦â
âThen she is jealous!â Gungun is still in a good fantasy. However, he also knows when to stop, âOkay, youâre going home tomorrow.â
Zeng Xue is speechless.
Although the wretched man is unethical, she feels that based on the situation that Wuyou is in, sheâd better go home! As Zeng Xue is going through the security check, she turns her head and sees Gungun looking happy, constantly feeling that he is going to be unlucky.
Childe Lang doesnât feel that way. He only feels that although Wuyou is angry this time, it is also a good sign. After all, he has the impression that Wuyou is seldom so angry and she always looks as if nothing matters to her.
Wuyou doesnât know that Zeng Xue has gone. When Gungun tells her the news the next day, she is stunned.
âIs she mad at me?â
Gungunâs eyes flash, âYou didnât say anything wrong! Itâs only natural that you scolded her because of me.â
âThatâs not what you said the other day.â Wuyou looks at him grudgingly.
Wuyou thinks in secret, âYou plainly said that as long as you were nice to her, it didnât matter what she did to youâ¦â
âWuyouâ¦â Gungun changes the subject, âWhy were you so angry before?â
Wuyou purses the corner of her mouth, âIâm not angry.â
âYouâre angry.â Gungun approaches her face, âWhy?â
Wuyou frowns, âWell, are you happyâ¦â
âWell, I think you must be mad because she wasnât nice to me.â Gungun smiles, âLook, thereâs no other girl in the world whoâs as nice to me as you are, is there?â
Wuyou nods, wondering what he is going to say. Unexpectedly, Gungun suddenly stands up and stretches as if he has just said nothing.
âIâm going to take a nap. Letâs go to a bar tonight. The one I went to with Zeng Xue before is pretty interesting.â
Wuyou is at a bit of a loss. She isnât very good at dealing with her emotions. That is mainly because she usually doesnât have any emotions. However, she is suddenly very angry this time⦠According to Gungun, she is angry because Zeng Xue has treated him badly.
But Wuyou feels that there should be more reasons for her to be like that. She ponders on it, goes back to her bedroom, and locks the door. Then she posts on an emotion forum describing a general overview of her situation, asking everyone in the forum what is wrong with her. Her post arouses many netizensâ attention and Wuyou reads the comments one by one.
The comment at 1st ranking says, âThe poster is an elementary school student, right? Why does she ask for an answer to such an obvious question?â
The comment at 2nd ranking goes, âItâs obvious that you are jealous! You like that boy, which you surely should admit.â
The comment at 3rd ranking says, âYou all do not see the point. I think the poster is a typical angelic b***h. It is clear that she likes the boy whom she has grown up with. However, she pretends to be a good sister to help the boy chase after girls.â
The comment at 4th ranking says, âI agree with the comment above. Poster, if you like the boy, just tell him directly. If he doesnât like you, you can just let him go. However, it will be a blessing if he happens to like you as well. In that case, you both wonât harm other girls.â
Wuyou is speechless.
So the reason why she was angry before is that she likes Gungun, right? But doesnât she always like him? Wuyou canât figure it out.
In the evening, Gungun insists on going to the bar. Wuyou, who isnât at ease about allowing him to go there alone, naturally has to accompany him there. After that, Gungun takes advantage of Wuyouâs protection and drinks wine one after another. He keeps drinking. Till the time he leaves the bar, he canât even stand stably. It is Wuyou who puts him on her back and brings him home.
âWuyou⦠Wuyouâ¦â After Gungun is shoved into the blanket, he is not well-behaved at all. As Wuyou is pouring water for him, he sneaks out again.
Wuyou holds him down and feeds him the water. Gungun stretches his neck vigorously.
âI wonât drink it. I wonât!â
âDrink it and you wonât feel bad anymore.â Wuyou makes tea to dispel the alcohol for him.
Gungun hugs her and grunts, âWhy donât you like me? Wuyou! If you like me, how nice it will be. We can then be together.â
ââ¦â Wuyou looks down at the teenager in her arms, who is squinting his eyes and looking at her blushingly.
It takes a few seconds before Wuyou whispers, âI do like you.â
âYouâre lying!â Gungun accuses her, âEven though⦠Even though I donât remember anything, I know you only agree to be with me because of what Dad said. You even agreed to marry me because Dad told you to do so!â
âNo!â Wuyou says immediately in a quite loud voice.
Gungun opens his eyes wide to hide his excitement and asks, âThen tell me why!â
Normally, Wuyou could have noticed that something is wrong with Gungun. However, she is so confused right now that she has to go with her instincts.
âI do like you.â
Gungun continues to pretend, âReally? Do you like me as if a woman loves a man? Do you like me as a lover? Is it the reason why you agree to marry me and bear my children after staying with me?â
âI am supposed to marry you.â
F**k! They are going back again.
âIf you are asked to choose for yourself without Dadâs order, will you prefer another man?â He suddenly pushes Wuyou away very angrily, âYouâre just like that! Youâre not with me because you like me. Youâre with me because Dad asked you to do that. And I donât want that kind of love from you! I donât need it!â
After that, he tilts his head, closes his eyes, and doesnât move at all.
âNo⦠Itâs not like that.â Wuyou shakes her head helplessly and tries to say something. However, when she sees that Gungun has fallen asleep, she has to sit in a daze for half a day.
It isnât until Gungun feels that he canât keep acting to be asleep anymore that he senses that the bed is bounced back and then there comes the sound indicating the door is closed. He opens one of his eyes sneakily and lets out a sigh of relief after confirming that Wuyou has left.
âHoly God! Itâs a strong dose of medicine. Wuyou, you should be enlightenedâ¦â
Wuyou hasnât slept all night. The next morning, when Gungun goes downstairs, he sees that she is sitting squarely on the couch in the living room with a rabbit in her arms.
âI didnât disturb you last night, right?â Gungun asks with a pretentious yawn.
Wuyou looks at him very seriously, âYou said I donât like you.â
Is Wuyou that straightforward?
Gungun twitches the corner of his mouth, âWhy⦠Why did I say that?â
âYou said I was with you because Dad asked me to.â Wuyou frowns, âIs it because you donât remember the past? You wouldnât have asked such a question before.â
ââ¦Maybe!â Gungun senses that Wuyou seems to take this issue seriously and simply continues, âYou also said that it is because I donât have any memories between the two of us. From a loverâs point of view alone, I donât think that you like me.â
âWuyou, if you donât like me, then please donât be with me. I donât want my lover to be with me because my elders ordered her to. I will marry someone I love. And if you donât love me, it wonât be fair to either of us.â
Wuyou opens her mouth, âNo! I want to be with you, I donât want to be with anyone else!â
âIs it because youâre used to it?â Gungun is happy in secret, âYouâre used to it because weâve been together since we were kids. However, what if one day a guy pursues you and you find out you donât actually like me at all. What should you do if you like someone else then?â
âNo, it wonât be like that!â Wuyou immediately shakes her head and says very firmly, âI know I like you! I didnât know it before. But I do now.â
She suddenly releases the rabbit and swoops up to hug Gungun.
âItâs okay if you donât remember me. As long as I remember you, it will be fine! I will be very, very good to you in the future. You canât like anyone else except me.â
Originally, Gungun is quite excited that Wuyou has taken the initiative to hug him. After he hears Wuyouâs words, his heart softens and he feels distressed. His Wuyou must have been enlightened and she fears that he wonât want her.
âOK.â Gungunâs voice is a little dull. It seems that he is squeezing it out of his throat, âThen you should remember that whether I can regain my memory or not, weâre going to be together and youâre going to like me.â
He hugs Wuyou with his backhand, âWeâll get married when we graduate from college!â
âYeah.â Wuyou doesnât feel like she is selling herself short at all as she nods.
Gungun is happy instantly. He hugs Wuyou in his arms and rubs her, âTo commemorate your confession with me today, letâs go for a big dinner!â
Tang Duo receives a video call from her son early in the morning. After she clicks on it, she sees a fancy Michelin restaurant, candles, wine, and steak.
âWhat are you two celebrating?â She is curious. Her son is sitting with Wuyou, who is clearly drunk and blushing.
âWe are celebrating that weâre together!â Gungun holds up the glass, âMom, this is your daughter-in-law.â
âAh?â Tang Duo asks, âHave you regained your memory?â
âNo.â It is Wuyou who is talking instead. After that, she hugs Gungun in her arms, âWhether he remembers me or not, we have to be together.â
Tang Duo doesnât know what to say.
The video chat is hung up. Gungun gets a text from his mom.
âGo to the bathroom now and call me. Be quick!â
Gungun is speechless.
He has to tell Wuyou that he is going to the bathroom. Then he calls Tang Duo from inside.
âWhat did you do to Wuyou? Why did she say that?â As soon as the call gets through, Tang Duo asks, âIf you dare to play with Wuyouâs feelings, Iâll break your legs. And you got Wuyou drunk, didnât you? What do you want?â
Gungun is momentarily shocked by his motherâs question. Frankly speaking, he hasnât even thought about it. However, nowâ¦
Now that Wuyou has admitted that she likes him, does that make it okay for him to do this and that?
âLang Xuanyuan!â Tang Duo is in a rage, âWhy donât you say something? Am I right? Lang Ruoxian! Lang Ruoxian. Hurry up and book me a flight ticket. Iâm going to Mi Country and break that kidâs legs!â
âMother, Mother!â Gungun is shocked, âDonât get excited, I havenât said a word yet.â
âThen you say it!â Tang Duo is raging.
Gungun says in a particularly sincere tone, âI have no memory. But I canât fight off my instinct! My instinct is to like Wuyou. The reason why I said I was pursuing someone else previously is that I was trying to see if Iâd fall for someone else! It turned out that it was impossible. Although I canât remember my past, I still like Wuyou.â
âMom, seriously, I was especially happy when I found that out. So I confessed my love to Wuyou. She was happy too! So we came out to celebrate it.â
Wuyou finds that Gungun is quite excited after coming back from the bathroom. As soon as she gets home and finishes her shower, she sees the teenager push the door in while being half naked.
