“So, what you’re saying is, Lu Lin lied to you, and you two never confessed to each other? Did he lie to you about liking him in the first place?” In the parking garage under the airport, Su Qi lifted her hand to hoist the luggage into the trunk. “This is quite exciting. You two pretended to be straight guys for ten years, and in the end, you accidentally confessed your feelings. I’m impressed.”

Leaning against the car, Shi Sheng scratched his head helplessly.

“I was wondering why he’s been acting weird lately. So it’s because of this.”

Su Qi was wearing a retro cheongsam, showcasing her exquisite figure. She held a beautiful folding fan in her hand and took a deep breath of the country’s air after putting away the luggage.

Inhaled a mouthful of dust from the garage.

The tour group had already gone back with the tourists. Originally, Su Qi wanted to take Shi Sheng to see a doctor, but now it seemed unnecessary. Speaking of which, Shi Sheng should probably be angry that Lu Lin lied to him, but since the outcome was good, he was a carefree person.

So, there wasn’t much to it.

But Lu Lin, who knew Shi Sheng was going to the hospital that day, was very worried.

“Get in the car first,” Su Qi closed the trunk and opened the driver’s door, “How are you going to handle this?”

Shi Sheng followed suit and got into the car, propping his head as he thought, “I won’t expose him, hehe.”

“No, that’s letting him off too easily,” Su Qi pulled the seat belt, “You’ve been deceived, aren’t you upset? Moreover, Lu Lin didn’t confess, he kept it from you, isn’t it too much?”

“I’m not upset at all. My crush took advantage of my amnesia, lied to me and said he was my boyfriend. I think I got lucky.”

“…” Su Qi adjusted the gear and suddenly made a beautiful reverse turn in the garage, driving out of the garage. She casually turned on the car music, lowered the window, and leaned her elbow on the window, glancing casually at the rearview mirror. “In my opinion, this matter can’t just pass so easily.”

“What do you suggest then?” Shi Sheng glanced at Su Qi as she suddenly stepped on the accelerator, reaching eighty miles per hour, with the surrounding scenery continuously retreating. According to Su Qi’s previous words, it meant that Shi Sheng was too easy to bully, so she had to protect him.

“Give him a beating?” Su Qi frowned as she looked ahead onto the ramp.

“No, can’t bear to.”

“Have you two slept together?”

“…Not yet.”

“Well, then seduce him into bed and scare him that you remember and you are angry,” Su Qi touched the steering wheel, curling her crimson lips, “Guaranteed he’ll go limp in a second.”

Shi Sheng’s lips twitched slightly. “What if he really goes limp?”

“Hmm… good point.”

“Let me handle it myself.” Shi Sheng rubbed his hands together. “Considering how much he cares about this matter.”

Although he had been deceived, taking advantage of the situation wasn’t a bad thing. Since he remembered it now, he had to use this information gap to turn from passive to active.

Shi Sheng looked out the window, silently curling up his lips wickedly.

“Are you sure you’re thinking about how to retaliate against him?” Su Qi glanced at his foolish smile in the side mirror, “Or are you thinking about how to quickly heat up your relationship?”

“But isn’t he my boyfriend,” Shi Sheng turned his head and grinned, “We’re dating. When we look at our significant others, we’re all wearing rose-tinted glasses.”

Seeing that they were about to exit the highway, Su Qi gradually slowed down. Lu Lin sent a message, asking if they had arrived at the hospital. Shi Sheng tapped the screen and replied that they had already registered.

“Oh, I’m feeling a bit guilty.”

“Why are you feeling guilty? He deceived you and you are deceiving him, it’s even now,” Su Qi looked at the location on her phone, “Since you took a sick day today, let’s eat and drink well before going back.”

···

In the duty room, a certain captain was restless. He opened Lu Yin’s WeChat message window and briefly explained Shi Sheng’s visit to the hospital to recover his memory.

“So, ge, is this the start of your downfall?” Lu Yin’s tone was somewhat indifferent, as if she was amused by the spectacle.

“Just tell me, what should I do?”

“Just let bygones be bygones,” Lu Yin grinned, “What else can you do?”

“You mean, just forget it?”

“Yeah, just forget it,” Lu Yin replied seriously. “You know what they say, ‘Rice is already cooked.’ Besides, Shi Sheng isn’t the type to hold grudges, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“That makes sense.”

“Remember to keep an eye on things and bring him home to meet Dad and Mom early.”

Lu Yin hung up and continued to watch the drama series, while Lu Lin got another call and answered, “Hello, this is North Branch.”

…..

On the other hand, Su Qi was still taking Shi Sheng shopping everywhere.

Originally, they agreed to just pick her up from the airport, but in the end, he ended up carrying all the bags himself. He followed behind Su Qi, who exuded an aura similar to that of a ruthless older sister and Shi Sheng an oppressed younger brother.

With a bang, he bumped into Su Qi, who had stopped in her tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Shi Sheng raised his head and saw Su Qi staring at the three big words hanging on the front.

Romantic Life Shop.

He suddenly froze, only to see Su Qi humming a tune and walking into the clothing store by herself. Shi Sheng quickly caught up, setting down the bags he was carrying.

“How about this one?” Su Qi pulled out a red dress. She didn’t like going to big malls; she preferred buying clothes in small shops on commercial streets. Watching her try it on in front of the mirror, Shi Sheng nodded absentmindedly.

“It looks good, you look good in anything.”

“I’ll try it on, wait here.”

Su Qi turned and went into the fitting room, while Shi Sheng found a chair by the door, sat down, and played with his phone. He saw someone walking into the neighboring store.

He pursed his lips, thinking about the knowledge he had gained these days, and his ears slowly turned red again.

After a moment, Shi Sheng looked around, put on a mask, and quickly ran into the neighboring store. The cashier sitting at the counter glanced at him, then, unsurprised, lowered his head to continue watching a drama.

Shi Sheng cleared his throat and picked up a packet from the counter, almost afraid to look at the items displayed on the shelves, and hurriedly walked inside. Someone inside was restocking the shelves and gave him a quick glance when they saw him.

“Sister? What do you want to buy?”

“I’m not a sister, not a sister.”

“It’s okay, I understand,” the person stood up and handed him a box, “Try this one, it lasts a long time, and the vibration frequency is also adjustable.”

“No, no, no,” Shi Sheng waved his hand hurriedly, declaring that he was now sealing his heart.

“Then do you want this one? It has very good lubrication, and it’s also good for foreplay. It looks like candied haws, and it feels cool when used… Hey, buddy, don’t leave, buddy.”

After a while, Su Qi finished paying and turned her head, seeing Shi Sheng running in with a black bag, his face flushed.

“Where did you go?” She asked curiously.

“Nowhere,” he hid the black bag behind him, “Didn’t we say we were going to that very good private restaurant? Let’s go after buying this dress.”

“So urgent? Don’t you want to shop around a bit more?”

“Uh, uh, Lu Lin called and urged me.” Shi Sheng touched his nose.

“Okay, then we’ll eat quickly and I’ll take you back,” Su Qi sighed, “People with partners are really annoying.”

Su Qi walked towards the parking lot, while Shi Sheng followed behind, carrying a bunch of stuff, his pale skin turning even redder, especially on his neck.

After getting in the car, Lu Lin’s video call came in.

“I’m about to get off work. How’s your hospital visit?”

“Um, it’s, it’s going well,” Shi Sheng fastened his seatbelt and silently touched his nose again.

Lu Lin adjusted the Bluetooth in his ears, scribbling with a pen, filling out various forms. He glanced at Shi Sheng on his phone, then furrowed his brows. “What’s wrong with your neck? Allergic reaction?”

“…Scratched it a few times,” Shi Sheng took a deep breath, telling himself that he was going to be the one to take the initiative, absolutely not to back down.

“Alright. When I finish these things, I’ll go back to the dormitory…”

“Lu Lin.”

“Hmm?”

Shi Sheng licked his lips, “Come to my place tonight.”
