8:The outrageous weeds on top of the grave are three feet tall^[1]-“The outrageous weeds on top of the grave are three feet tall”, this is usually used when someone provides an idea or joke that is beyond absurd.

“I am your boyfriend.”

“Pfft!” Ling Yunfan spurted out a mouthful of water and coughed violently, “Cough cough cough cough cough.”

“Drink slowly.” Ji Canghai quickly grabbed some tissues and reached out to wipe Ling Yunfan’s mouth.

Ling Yunfan was so scared that he leaned back, his face turning red from the coughing. “I’ll do it myself.”

Ji Canghai didn’t insist and handed the tissues to Ling Yunfan, then said, “What I said earlier may have been inaccurate.”

Ling Yunfan thought to himself that what you said was not just inaccurate, it was outrageous and absurd.

Ji Canghai said, “To be precise, you are my fiancé.”

Ling Yunfan, “?”

Ji Canghai, “We are already engaged.”

Ling Yunfan, “??”

Ji Canghai, “We’re getting married soon.”

Ling Yunfan, “???”

Ji Canghai, “We have a child.”

Ling Yunfan, “…”

What the hell! Never mind the earlier conversation, first, you tell me, how do two alphas have children? Do they use their stomachs to give birth?!

Wait, could it be that Ji Canghai has a love child that he doesn’t want to raise, and he wants to dump it on me? This cunning man! He’s such a scheming scumbag!

“Cough, but… but…” Ling Yunfan wiped the water with the tissues, coughing as he spoke, “Although I can’t remember what happened, I think I should be… an alpha?”

He said this with a guilty conscience, afraid that Ji Canghai would say, “How can you still have selective amnesia?”

Fortunately, Ji Canghai didn’t have any doubts and calmly replied, “Yes, you are an alpha.”

“You… aren’t you also… you should be too, right?” Ling Yunfan looked at Ji Canghai, “An alpha.”

Ji Canghai remained silent, his eyes narrowed. The morning light shone through the clear window onto his face, but couldn’t penetrate his deep, dark eyes, which were like black jade and seemed to have never seen the sun.

After a moment, Ji Canghai suddenly smiled, his lips curving up in a way that was neither a smile nor a smirk. “Yes, I’m also an alpha,” he said.

Ling Yunfan chuckled nervously. “Two alphas, how could that…”

Ji Canghai interrupted him with a sigh. “Ah, you really have forgotten,” he said.

Ling Yunfan asked, “Huh?”

“Our love, our past,” Ji Canghai replied.

Ling Yunfan, “…”

“It doesn’t matter,” Ji Canghai said with a slight smile. “I’ll tell you everything about our past.”

Even after Ji Canghai left the hospital room to complete his discharge procedures, Ling Yunfan was still in shock. 

He held his head in his hands, trying to recall Ji Canghai’s natural expression as he spoke those words. He didn’t know if he was going crazy or if Ji Canghai was.

Why would Ji Canghai make up such a lie?

Is he trying to get me in debt with high interest?

Oh, right, his debts.

Ling Yunfan slapped his forehead. Yesterday those guys caused a commotion, and he ran away without knowing if they would go to the small restaurant where he usually worked to cause trouble.

Ling Yunfan searched his coat and pant pockets for his phone, wanting to call the restaurant owner Zheng Xiong to explain the situation, but he couldn’t find his phone anywhere.

His phone must have fallen somewhere, and now this was just adding to his troubles.

Ling Yunfan thought for a moment and decided to slip away quietly.

His twenty years of life experience told him that there were no free lunches in this world.

To put it another way, there was certainly no boyfriend falling out of the sky.

Ling Yunfan threw off the covers, jumped out of bed, and ran out of the room.

This escape was very smooth, without any nurse or attendant blocking his way.

Then Ling Yunfan got lost in the hospital corridor.

Ling Yunfan, “Where are the stairs?! Where are the stairs?! Why is this place so big and everything looks the same!”

An old man in an electric wheelchair was sitting by the window, shaking his head and tapping his radio while listening to Yue opera. When he heard Ling Yunfan yelling, he laughed and said, “Young man, why are you looking for stairs? Take the elevator!”

“Excuse me, sir, where is the elevator?” Ling Yunfan quickly asked.

The old man kindly said, “Young man, turn around and go straight, then turn right.”

“Okay, thank you, sir!” Ling Yunfan thanked him and turned around, almost bumping into someone.

“Ah sorry…” Before he could finish apologizing, he took a step back in fear.

Ji Canghai was holding a bag of medicine standing in front of him.

Both of them remained silent for a moment, while the loud sound of the opera on the old man’s radio echoed through the corridor.

“A younger sister Lin fell from the sky~~~ as graceful as a light cloud just emerging~~~”

Ling Yunfan had a headache. Oh, master, please don’t recite it anymore. I admit it, I admit it, can’t a boyfriend fall from the sky too?

“Where are you going?” Ji Canghai had that seemingly smiling but not really smiling expression again.

Ling Yunfan stuttered, “Just…just…around, taking a look…”

Ji Canghai said, “I’ve already completed your discharge procedures. Let’s go home.”

Ling Yunfan, “Ah?”

No, where is home?

Wait, did Ji Canghai find out that he was lying and just find it amusing to tease him?

He was waiting for the moment when he couldn’t make up any more lies, then he would reveal his true self, mock him, and say, “How come after a few years, you’ve become so pathetic?”

The more Ling Yunfan thought about it, the more he felt it was like that.

Alright, Ji Canghai, if you don’t spare me, then I’ll act with you until the end. I want to see who can’t hold on first. We used to compete fiercely in high school every day, and now I can’t admit defeat.

“Oh, right, let’s go home.” Ling Yunfan pretended to be calm. “Since we’re already engaged, we must be living together.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Canghai’s mouth curled up, and this time his smile was no longer the kind of half-playful smile, but rather like a barren soil blossoming flowers.

Ji Canghai, “Let’s go.”

“Okay.” Ling Yunfan limped forward with the support of the wall for two steps.

“Is your leg hurting?” Ji Canghai furrowed his brow and asked. He took a look at Ling Yunfan’s knee and found the gauze was soaked with blood, causing his brows to furrow into a Sichuan character.^[2]“川” (chuan), this is the character for “Sichuan” province in China

Ling Yunfan, “It’s okay. What the heck? Ah Ah Ah?”

Ji Canghai bent down, put his arms around Ling Yunfan’s knee, and lifted him up horizontally.

Ling Yunfan’s eyes widened in shock, his voice rising higher and higher, “Ah? Ah? Ah??”

The old man behind them laughed and said, “Ah! Ah! Ah!! The beautiful scenery of West Lake in March, the spring rain is like smoke, the willows are like smoke, thousands of miles of fate brought us together~”

Ji Canghai smiled lightly and said, “Uncle, your singing is like listening to celestial music.”

The old man gave a thumbs-up and said, “Hey, young man, you’re really good!”

Ling Yunfan looked bewildered and said, “No, wait, what??”
