Just then, Xie Zhuzhou suddenly stopped, bent down, and picked up more than a dozen small stones.
Just as Chu Yanzhang was wondering what he was up to, he saw small stones being thrown from Xie Zhuzhou's hand and landing on the lake surface in front of the two old men.
He also threw in a few balls when Zhouzhou wasn't looking.
Upon seeing this, the two old men jumped to their feet, pointing at Xie Zhuzhou companion from afar. "You two little brats, stop right there! You scared all my fish away!"
Xie Zhuzhou: "You think you can just stop when I tell you to? You two old geezers! We're the good guys, and what are you? You two lonely old men fishing here! Are you up to something shady?"
"This is outrageous! You dare stop right there? Don't run!"
"I'm furious! I'm going to catch those two bastards!"
The two old men chased after them in a fit of rage, Xie Zhuzhou grabbed Chu Yanzhang and they ran. Chu Yanzhang couldn't help but laugh as they ran, " Zhouzhou, you're really something, daring to mess with even these old folks who seem on the verge of falling apart."
Xie Zhuzhou glanced back and saw the old men chasing after him, panting heavily. He slowed his pace. "It's their fault for being so talkative. Besides, we didn't do anything wrong."
Chu Yanzhang laughed so hard his shoulders shook, "However, running like this isn't a solution."
Xie Zhuzhou's eyes darted around, and he stopped in his tracks. Suddenly, he said, "Sir, your things haven't been stolen, have they? I've heard that some beggars like to scavenge in this area. I wonder if you've seen them?"
Upon hearing this, the two old men's expressions changed immediately, and they stopped in their tracks. They looked at each other, seemingly hesitant about whether to continue the chase. Xie Zhuzhou, seeing this, chuckled inwardly, but continued aloud, "When we came over just now, we thought we saw someone loitering around where you were fishing."
One of the old men finally couldn't take it anymore, and turned to walk back, cursing. "Hmph, consider yourself lucky! If anything of mine is missing, I won't let you off the hook!"
Another old man followed him a few steps, turning back to hurl a threat. "You two little brats, don't let me run into you again!"
Seeing that they were both quite agile, Xie Zhuzhou said, "Alright, then I wish you two gentlemen would go home empty-handed tonight!"
After saying that, he ran off again before the two old men could even finish their cursing.
"Haha, Zhouzhou, you're so cute!" Chu Yanzhang always feels happy when he's with Xie Zhuzhou.
Don't you think this version of me is bad?
"You're not wrong, it's all their fault."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..."
That evening, the two didn't get home until very late. Xie Zhuzhou lay in bed, hugging the plush dog that Chu Yanzhang had given him, and replied to him with goodnight.
Lying in bed, he seemed to have forgotten something...
It wasn't until the next day that he remembered, "We seem to have forgotten to visit my second brother..."
Ji Wangchen: "..."
Ji Wangyan: "..."
Ji Wuqiu casually put down the handkerchief she was wiping her hands. "I went to see him last night, he's fine."
What kind of situation is this? One of the four sons is gay, and another is vaguely on the verge of being gay.
He was certain he was straight when he was young, so how could his son suddenly become gay?
Ji Wangyun sneezed violently in the hospital room and began to examine her past on her phone, trying to figure out exactly what she had forgotten.
Most of the photos on my phone are landscapes, but there's also a private album in this photo album labeled: lyk
What does this mean?
Judging from the date, it seems to be from a very, very long time ago.
Ji Wangyun gradually lay back down on the bed, pulled the covers over himself, and muttered to himself how bored he was.
Why would I be bored?
A quiet environment, a peaceful space, delicious food, and a phone to play with...
Everything suited his needs perfectly.
Why do some people find life boring?
"LYK... what do these three letters mean?" It couldn't possibly be Li Yankai, could it? Li Yankai hadn't told him what happened between them; they were just acquaintances.
Ji Wangyun muttered to himself, sliding his finger across the screen, trying to find more clues.
After some time, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and Ji Wangchen walked in. He saw Ji Wangyun staring blankly at his phone and casually asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Wangyun slowly sat up and looked at his elder brother, who seemed both strange and familiar. "Brother, what kind of person was I before?"
Ji Wangyan followed him in. Seeing his elder brother remain silent, he immediately said, "You are kind, helpful, and your silence is golden."
Ji Wangyun pointed to himself. "Are you sure this is me?"
Xie Zhuzhou was a step behind his brothers. When he came in, he suddenly saw his second brother looking at him.
"Young man, tell me, what kind of person am I?"
Xie Zhuzhou and Ji Wangyan exchanged a glance. He coughed lightly, his tone relatively calm. "Although you were indeed a bit... well, overly enthusiastic in the past, overall, you are indeed a kind and steady person."
Ji Wangyun raised an eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied with the answer, "Enthusiastic? Are you sure you're not just subtly implying that I'm meddling?"
Ji Wangyan couldn't help but laugh, "Second brother, you used to be a bit of a worrywart, but that was because you cared about us." She hadn't expected her second brother to be so amusing after losing his memory.
Ji Wangyun nodded thoughtfully. "So, what exactly does LYK mean? I have a private album in my photo album, and the password hint is this."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wangyan frowned. "LYK... that sounds like an abbreviation of someone's name."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, "Could it be... Li Yaokun?"
Ji Wangyun suddenly raised her head. " Li Yaokun? Who is that?"
Ji Wangchen and Ji Wangyan exchanged a glance. Ji Wangyan slowly said, " Li Yaokun was your friend before, but he is... gone."
Ji Wangyun was stunned. He tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember anything about this person. "How... did he disappear?"
Ji Wangyan sighed, "He sacrificed himself to save you."
Holding the phone, Ji Wangyun's heart sank. "To save me? He... how did he save me? Brother, tell me."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Poor second brother, the Ji Family's new toy.
Ji Wangchen remained silent for a while before saying, "Back then, you were caught up in a dangerous situation. To protect you, Li Yaokun lured away the people chasing you, and he never returned."
Ji Wangyun felt his mind was in complete chaos. He tried hard to remember something, but couldn't recall anything, "I... I don't remember anything at all?"
Ji Wangyan, whose head was throbbing from trying to suppress her laughter, went over and patted his shoulder. "Second Brother, you were seriously injured back then, and we only found out about Li Yaokun's matter later."
Ji Wangyun fell silent. He looked at "LYK" on his phone screen, but still had some doubts. "So, this album is full of photos of him?"
Ji Wangyan nodded. "Maybe so. We haven't seen it either; after all, it's your privacy."
After a moment of silence, Ji Wangyun took a deep breath and said firmly, "I want to regain my memories. I want to know everything about him!"
Xie Zhuzhou: "..."
