Chapter 31 part 1

Yun Feiwu didn’t refuse.

During the three years they were apart, they had communicated through letters. Once read, the letters were burnt, leaving no trace behind.

Later, when Yun Feiwu came of age and found Xia Shutong in Haicheng, they got spare phones. Still, they only used them for calls, deleting messages thoroughly. For anything substantial, they still wrote letters, burning them afterward, leaving no trace of their communication.

Thinking of this, Yun Feiwu became lost in thought.

If not for the drunk Xia Shutong remembering her, if not for Xia Shutong’s instinctive love, how would she have ever found her lost memories? Was she about to lose her?

“Maomao?” Xia Shutong snuggled against her neck, her voice soft. “You’re not happy?”

“No.” Yun Feiwu did as Xia Shutong instructed, saved her contact, set up fingerprint recognition, and returned the phone to her.

She handed her own phone to Xia Shutong, also recording her fingerprint.

Yun Feiwu coldly rejected her. “No.”

“Why?” Xia Shutong asked.

“Because tomorrow when you wake up you might regret it and feel bad afterwards,” Yun Feiwu gazed at Xia Shutong, her voice calm. “Ruan Ruan, do you know what you’re doing?”

Xia Shutong didn’t understand the first half of Yun Feiwu’s sentence, but the second half was clear.

She nodded vigorously, looking innocent. “I know, I’m doing… things you love to do!”

Yun Feiwu: “…”

She turned her head away and let out a sigh.

At this moment, Xia Shutong moved in and gently nibbled on Yun Feiwu’s earlobe.

“Mm…”

Yun Feiwu’s breath grew quicker.

She instinctively pushed Xia Shutong away, her hands on her shoulders, but she lacked strength.

Yun Feiwu tilted her head slightly, looking at the warm, yellow light on the ceiling, her gaze gradually becoming hazy.

Guilt and such… forget about it.

…

Early morning.

Xia Shutong had lost count of how many times she woke up to find herself holding Yun Feiwu.

So this time, she wasn’t too flustered. She quietly slipped out of the bed, intending to change her clothes.

Until… she saw the red marks on Yun Feiwu’s neck.

Xia Shutong nearly let out a sound in shock.

What, what, what had happened between her and Yun Feiwu last night? Those are love marks… right?

Xia Shutong stood frozen for a couple of seconds, and mechanically turned her head, seemingly unwilling to believe what she saw. Then, she shifted her gaze back to Yun Feiwu and stared at her neck intently.

Yun Feiwu had a delicate, fair neck, and the tiny red marks stood out vividly against her snowy skin, exuding an odd sense of beauty.

Xia Shutong’s mouth involuntarily trembled.

What’s even more maddening is that at this moment, Yun Feiwu seemed to sense something. She turned over and pulled the blanket down a bit.

The red marks on her collarbone were now exposed… and there were even bite marks.

Xia Shutong looked around persistently, her heart unwilling to accept the truth—it was her room, and no one else was there.

She made an effort to recall what had happened last night.

It seemed like at the wrap-up banquet, Director Dai Su came to her to offer a toast. She was quite touched by it. Accidentally, she had a bit too much to drink, and then… she got drunk.

She could hardly remember what happened afterward.

However, the marks on Yun Feiwu’s body weren’t something she could just forget!

With a tearful expression, Xia Shutong sat on the bed, gazing at Yun Feiwu, her brows furrowed.

She even had the impulse to slap herself twice.

The first time she got drunk, she led Yun Feiwu to her room and they slept. The second time she got drunk, they “slept” again.

How reckless had she become when she was intoxicated?

Moreover, Xia Shutong had been prepared to have a serious conversation with Yun Feiwu after they finished filming, but now, how could she say anything to Yun Feiwu?

No matter what, she would appear like a scoundrel.

With a pained expression, Xia Shutong contemplated for a while, then finally messaged Qian Lingling, asking her to reschedule their flight back to Hai Cheng and also order breakfast from the hotel.

Then she sat quietly by the bed, eagerly awaiting Yun Feiwu to wake up.

No matter what, when one makes a mistake, the apology must be sincere.

“Ruan Ruan…” Yun Feiwu woke up before the breakfast cart arrived.

She looked at Xia Shutong, who had an expression that said, “I’m sorry, I regret it,” and her eyes curved as she managed to swallow the title that was about to slip out.

“Little Xia, good morning,” Yun Feiwu whispered.

Xia Shutong lowered her head, resembling a child who had done something wrong, and replied, “…Morning.”

After a few seconds of silence, she weakly uttered, “Last night…”

Yun Feiwu arched an eyebrow.

In truth, nothing significant happened last night.

After a few bites and nibbles, Xia Shutong fell asleep due to exhaustion.

However, seeing Xia Shutong’s remorseful expression, Yun Feiwu felt a pang of sadness. As expected, Xia Shutong was a completely forgetful dolt who would wake up and forget everything, just like a pig.

So, she raised her voice playfully, intentionally feigning ignorance, “What happened last night?”

“I, I…” Xia Shutong lowered her head, her voice becoming weaker as she continued, “I’m sorry… I got drunk, and I didn’t expect things to turn out like that… I was wrong.”

“What turned out that way?” Yun Feiwu continued pretending not to understand while reaching out and holding Xia Shutong’s hand.

“Exactly… like that,” Xia Shutong’s voice was as delicate as a mosquito’s buzz, and even her demeanor was weakened.

Suddenly, Yun Feiwu let out a couple of delicate laughs.

She didn’t feign misunderstanding anymore, instead, she gently held Xia Shutong’s hand and slightly tugged her back into the warmth of the bed.

“Little Xia, we are legally married, why are you apologizing?” She leaned into Xia Shutong’s ear, whispering softly.

Xia Shutong’s ears felt itchy, but she didn’t move away.

“But… you know, I’ve lost my memory.”

For the past two months, Xia Shutong hadn’t deliberately tried to recall her past, nor had she stumbled upon memory triggers like when she had a fever last time. So, her memories were mostly confined to her time with Qian Lingling.

“So?” Yun Feiwu asked, her gaze dimming slightly.

After waiting for over three months, she received another rejection.

However, Xia Shutong hesitated only for a few seconds before shaking her head and then nodding.

“It’s not that I dislike… and it’s not that I like it.” Xia Shutong spoke earnestly, “Yun Feiwu, I can’t differentiate my own emotions right now. My body instinctively draws me closer to you, and I feel fond of you. But my brain can’t remember anything, and I don’t know if this is truly liking. Do you… understand?”

Yun Feiwu contemplated for a moment, then slowly nodded, “Yes, I understand.”

“And now that I can’t remember anything, how can you be sure whether you like the past me or the present me?” Xia Shutong continued to inquire.

Yun Feiwu was puzzled, but her gaze remained incredibly clear, “You’re still you. Even if you’ve forgotten everything, you’re still the person you were before, and nothing has changed.”

Hearing Yun Feiwu’s words, Xia Shutong felt a bit reassured, yet still somewhat upset. Qian Lingling had also said the same, that she was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, kind to those close to her. Yet, Xia Shutong’s recollections didn’t support that claim. She found out that she had little emotion toward Qian Lingling.

She had lied to Qian Lingling.

What if she was deceiving Yun Feiwu too, then what should she do?

“Aren’t you afraid that I might be lying to you?” Xia Shutong traced circles on the bed with her fingers, whispering softly, “Perhaps myself before wasn’t anything like what you see now. Perhaps I’ve been deceiving you all along.”
