"Whose Sheng Family?" Ji Wangyun looked up at him, like a child asking a question.
Li Yankai thought Ji Wangyun's amnesia was too exaggerated; she only remembered her dog.
Seeing his pitiful state, Li Yankai had no choice but to patiently explain to him, " The Sheng Family is your maternal grandfather's family. We even went to the Sheng Family's manor to roast chickens last time. I went to borrow your flamethrower then."
Ji Wangyun stared blankly at him. "And what is a flamethrower?"
Li Yankai: "..."
Everyone from the Ji Family went back, leaving only a few bodyguards to take care of Ji Wangyun. Li Yankai originally thought that Brother Wangyun was in a very bad situation.
Now, he feels there's a reason why he's in such a miserable state.
How could you have amnesia to the point of not remembering these things?
Do you remember what 1+1 equals?
"2. I'm not stupid."
Li Yankai: "..."
Li Yankai's expression was complicated as he slowly sat down. "Fine, you only have short-term amnesia. You'll recover in time."
Ji Wangyun nodded. "We seem to have a good relationship? You're the one I talk to the most, and the one who's willing to sit down and keep me company. My brothers seem to dislike me."
"They're probably just busy. For example, your youngest brother, Xie Zhuzhou, told me on WeChat that he stayed up all night watching over you last night."
Ji Wangyun was somewhat surprised and touched. "He looks so fierce, yet he's so well-behaved? It seems we have a good relationship."
Li Yankai: "..." That's true, but Zhouzai might occasionally want to hit you.
"Indeed, you have a good relationship with your family, so you don't need to worry about that. Just focus on recovering. They've all gone to work, but they might come to see you after get off work."
Since Li Yankai had nothing better to do, he got up, rolled up his sleeves, picked an apple from the fruit basket, washed it, and started peeling it for him.
And what about you?
"I've taken leave."
Why are you taking leave? Are you still in school?
"You've really forgotten everything. I'm in college, and I'm in the same class and dorm as your brother. We get along pretty well, and he always invites me when he goes out."
Li Yankai didn't find Ji Wangyun too long-winded. He remembered that when he was a child Brother Wangyun took him to poke beehives... Brother Wangyun ran very fast, but he had short legs and couldn't escape being stung by bees. He was stung on the arm and cried for a long time because of the pain.
After that incident, Brother Wangyun stopped taking him to play with dangerous things and instead started playing in the sand. Later... he moved and transferred schools.
As time went by, Brother Wangyun had forgotten about him.
Actually, he recognized Brother Wangyun when he saw him at school.
When he was a child, he wanted to be like Brother Wangyun, who dared to cause trouble and try many things, unlike him who was timid and hesitant even when climbing a tree, and easily frightened to tears.
Ji Wangyun's gaze fell on Li Yankai's slender hands; the way he peeled an apple with a fruit knife was a pleasure to watch. "Are you closer to my brother?"
"Well, how should I put it? Pretty solid, right?" Li Yankai quickly handed him the peeled apple.
Ji Wangyun accepted it and said Xiexie.
Li Yankai felt that Brother Wangyun had changed a lot since he was a child. He had become very quiet and calm, but sometimes he had a lot of mischievous ideas, which gave Zhouzai a headache.
Ji Wangyun took a bite of her apple, lost in thought, when Li Yankai's phone rang. Ji Wangyun lowered her eyes, and for a fleeting moment, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a girl calling.
"Aren't you answering the phone?"
"I'll take it later. I only took half a day off. It's a bit far from school, so I don't have much time to stay here." Li Yankai has taken on a lot of part-time jobs recently, and he still has one in the afternoon.
He was still working at the coffee shop last night, assuming Brother Wangyun was out having fun, so he didn't reply to his messages. Little did he know something had happened.
"Why are you so busy too?"
Ji Wangyun wanted the other person to sit a little longer. He had seen a man surnamed Chu in the ward today, and although he inexplicably disliked him, the man was very skilled at the art of conversation and seemed adept at playing the victim.
Li Yankai didn't understand Ji Wangyun's meaning. He laughed and said, "Yes, I'm almost spinning like a top."
Ji Wangyun: "..."
"By the way, it seems like you can't go to work in this condition. What will happen to your company?"
"I don't know either, my older brother will probably handle it. Let's not talk about that... Was that your girlfriend calling? Her phone keeps vibrating."
Li Yankai shook his head, "No, it's... a blind date my parents introduced me to."
The blind date his parents introduced him to seemed to be very wealthy. I don't know where his parents found her, but they actually found him a rich and beautiful woman as a blind date.
In short, he's not good enough for her, and he doesn't really like people who are so controlling. They've only added each other on WeChat, they're not dating. They've clearly made it clear that they're not a good match, but the girl seems very stubborn. He wants to block her, but he's afraid of offending people because of him and causing his parents to do so.
"You look so young, and you're already going on blind dates?"
"My parents say that we need to start arranging blind dates for me now, because if I get older, I won't be able to get married." Li Yankai disagrees with this statement, but thinking about how loving his parents have been for so many years, he also has some hope of finding a partner.
But starting a new family would definitely cost a lot of money, and his parents aren't the type to squander money. He also wants them to save money for their retirement, so that things will be much easier for him after graduation.
In short, he thought he should focus on making money first.
"You're still so young, and besides, I'm not even married yet." Ji Wangyun took two more bites of the apple, but perhaps because her head wasn't feeling well, she didn't continue eating; she was still a little sore and uncomfortable.
" Brother Wangyun, are you alright?"
"No, I have something to do..."
**
Xie Zhuzhou woke up refreshed, but it was already five or six in the afternoon. He got up, put on a coat, and went out of his room. He saw Chu Yanzhang busy working in the apartment's living room, with Wen Shuming next to him, holding a tablet and exuding an air of elite.
The person sitting on the sofa, exuding a resentful aura, was Chu Yanzhang. Just by looking at his back, you could tell he was very unhappy.
Perhaps hearing the door open, Chu Yanzhang suddenly turned around. Seeing Xie Zhuzhou awake, he immediately stood up like a machine dog activated by code, " Zhouzhou, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Wen Shuming: "..."
Boss, you're such a simp, always licking your boots until you end up with nothing.
Xie Zhuzhou coughed lightly, then looked at Wen Shuming, who was smiling, and said, "I'm not hungry. You guys go ahead with your work, don't worry about me."
Chu Yanzhang's serious work attitude vanished the moment Xie Zhuzhou appeared. Wen Shuming couldn't force it either; to avoid having his bonus deducted, he even said something against his will, "We've almost finished. The boss worked very hard today too."
Chu Yanzhang was very satisfied with his subordinate's understanding. He walked over and took Xie Zhuzhou's hand, completely unaware of what "intern boyfriend" meant.
Zhouzhou only said he was an intern, but didn't say that interns couldn't receive benefits every day.
"Just grab something to eat. We'll go check on my second brother later. He's all alone in the hospital; he's probably bored. Let's go see him."
" Zhouzhou, I'll go with you."
"Go if you want to."
