Chapter 41

Proofreader: Akimi

While Zhen Yuanbai was still nervous, Shi Bufan had already started walking off. He stretched his body and said, “I really want to recover my memory quickly. That way, I can find out who pushed me down the slope.”

He said gloomily, “I’ll beat them up until they can’t even cry anymore.”

Zhen Yuanbai who was following him stopped. Shi Bufan walked a few steps before turning around to look at him, asking gently, “What’s the matter?”

“Did, did you remember something?”

“Not right now, but I have a feeling that if I return home, I’ll make a huge discovery.” He asked, “Do you want to go back with me?”

Zhen Yuanbai suddenly shook his head.

They walked out of the KTV and the bright sun made Shi Bufan squint his eyes. Zhen Yuanbai followed him and then he suddenly sprinted, tugging his sleeves. “If you really don’t want to go back, then you don’t have to.”

Shi Bufan pretended to be confused and said, “What’s the matter?”

Zhen Yuanbai said, “I think you’re right. Since you dislike this, they definitely did something really bad to you. If you suddenly remember it, you will definitely be unhappy. I…I don’t want to see you being unhappy.”

“You’re that concerned with me?”

“Mhm.” His little classmate nodded firmly and said, “Aren’t, aren’t you my boyfriend?”

Shi Bufan placed an arm around Zhen Yuanbai and observed his expression while the latter tried his best to look genuine. Seeing that he slightly knitted his eyebrows, he said, “Why do I feel like you don’t really want to see me recover my memory? Did something happen with us in the past?”

“No!” Zhen Yuanbai answered instinctively and added, “Even if it did, you’re the one that bullied me.”

“Why would I bully you out of nowhere?”

“How do I know?” Zhen Yuanbai didn’t want to chat anymore, saying, “If you’re not going home, where are you going?”

“Anywhere.” Shi Bufan smiled and said, “As long as I’m with you.”

Zhen Yuanbai also smiled, but his expression didn’t seem natural at all.

Zhen Yuanbai felt a twinge of guilt because he didn’t successfully bring Shi Bufan home for Mother Shi. But once he imagined Shi Bufan recovering his memory, he couldn’t help but be scared. Shi Bufan was great right now. If he accidentally gave him an attitude, he would apologize. If he cries from the bullying, Shi Bufan will immediately coax him and even reveal such a great-looking smile.

He recalled Shi Bufan’s fierce face from before and he really couldn’t imagine them being the same person.

Although he sounds very bad, he hoped that Shi Bufan would never recover his memory and they could keep staying like this.

Not long later, Zhen Yuanbai received a call from Qin Ying, clearly receiving news from his teacher in charge. Zhen Yuanbai admitted his mistake while they were on call and then told his parents that he would be home late. Qin Ying didn’t question much.

Shi Bufan was becoming a better person, so Zhen Family’s parents didn’t restrict Zhen Yuanbai from being friends with him.

Shi Bufan quietly listened until the call hung up and then he continued to toss the ball into the hoop.

Although they said they were going to play, Shi Bufan was playing alone the majority of the time. Zhen Yuanbai quietly listened, not in the mood to play at all. Shi Bufan tugged Zhen Yuanbai to the dancing machine, but he wasn’t willing either. “I don’t know how.”

“Why don’t I dance for you?”

“You’re not dizzy anymore?”

“Then don’t dance.”

Once they were out from the arcade, Zhen Yuanbai carried a huge red carrot in his arms. Shi Bufan had obtained it from a game and it seemed like he was quite happy. “That stupid scissor can actually cut the rope. In the past, Qiu Jing said it was just a lie.”

While talking, he reached over to flick the carrot in Zhen Yuanbai’s arms, teasing it like a child. “Call me father.”

“Are you good?”

“Are you discriminating against people with mental disorders?” Shi Bufan said, “This is my first gift for you. Name it.”

Zhen Yuanbai couldn’t hold in the laugh as he said, “What do you want it to be called?”

“You name it.”

“So stupid…”

“Quickly give it a name, otherwise I’ll kiss you.”

Zhen Yuanbai glared at him and saw the carrot had a shy expression. Zhen Yuanbai carried it as he walked, saying, “Let’s name it ‘shy one.’”

“Shy shy?” Shi Bufan stopped and then continued, “Me, you, shy shy. Make a sentence?”

“…”

While bringing Zhen Yuanbai home, Shi Bufan propped his chin against the car window while smiling. Zhen Yuanbai didn’t understand what Shi Bufan had been thinking, but he held ‘shy shy’ in his arms, glancing at Shi Bufan while ill at ease.

They finally reached the house and Zhen Yuanbai said goodbye before running off. Shi Bufan got out of the car after paying and his smile slightly faded, seeing that Zhen Yuanbai ran into the building without looking back.

He glanced down and lit a cigarette, but he didn’t smoke it. He gradually walked over to a tree and leaned against it, looking at a certain place.

Stars slowly lit the sky. Qiu Jing had called several times, but he didn’t pick up.

Up until there was a notification of a text message, he looked down at it.

Little Congming: Are you at home?

He curled his lips and replied with a “ok,” but he gradually deleted it before placing his phone inside his pocket. He turned around and slowly walked ahead. Time seemed to be stretched with no limit, but it seemed like something was growing in his heart and gradually filled it. When he thought it was time, he took out his phone and prepared to reply, only to realize it had only been two minutes.

He started typing “ok” again and finally sent the message after a minute.

Zhen Yuanbai replied right away, saying, “Did the guests in your house leave already?”

Shi Bufan continued to walk ahead while Zhen Yuanbai rolled in bed, feeling ill at ease. He grabbed his phone to check, but Shi Bufan still hadn’t replied. He couldn’t help but ask, “What did your mother say?”

The moment the message was sent, Shi Bufan couldn’t hold in the urge to take out his phone. After reading it, he placed it back into his pocket and didn’t reply.

Zhen Yuanbai saw that Shi Bufan was typing something, but then it suddenly disappeared. He couldn’t help but feel more and more ill at ease. He sat up straight on bed and then sent another message. “Are you really busy? Do you remember all the guests?”

“Why aren’t you replying to me?”

“Are you showering?”

Zhen Yuanbai placed his phone by his ear, but he couldn’t help but glance frequently. In the past, Shi Bufan always replied immediately and there was not a time where he didn’t reply when he had his phone. He was wondering if the notification button on the phone was broken or if there was a problem with the internet. Therefore, he changed from being on the internet into using data. He placed his phone by his pillow and continued to wait.

After a few consecutive messages, Shi Bufan quietly opened it to see. On the left side, it was all messages sent by Zhen Yuanbai. On the right side, he only replied once, and it was only one word.

He curled his lips up again and finally replied to Zhen Yuanbai. “I finished showering. Goodnight.”

He logged out of WeChat and called Qiu Jing, asking, “Where are you?”

“Huang Chao.” Qiu Jing said loudly, “We reserved a private room for you to celebrate your birthday. Are you coming?”

“Right away.”

He hung up and got into his car, logging back into WeChat. He originally thought that his little classmate would at least send him a ‘goodnight,’ but he realized that there was no message.

Zhen Yuanbai angrily kicked ‘shy shy’ off the bed. He was suspicious that Shi Bufan had recovered his memory. But if he did, he definitely wouldn’t be smiling at him. But if he didn’t, why was he being so indifferent to him?

He scrolled through their past conversation and noticed that these messages weren’t right. He slid into the chat and wanted to continue to ask.

On the other side, Shi Bufan who was looking through their past interactions had seen that Zhen Yuanbai was typing something, so he slid to the bottom of the messages and waited quietly.

Zhen Yuanbai suddenly threw his phone.

That’s it. After all, Shi Bufan didn’t recover his memory. He can do whatever he wants.

He sunk into a deep sleep.

Therefore, while driving to Huang Chao, Shi Bufan still didn’t receive a message from Zhen Yuanbai.

It was impossible for him to not drink alcohol while with his group of friends. Shi Bufan didn’t drink too much and he went to check his phone. When it was almost midnight, he couldn’t control himself and typed, “I’m drinking.” While he was at it, he sent an emoji of a baijiu.

Up in the morning did he receive a reply. “Didn’t you sleep? Why did you go and drink again?”

While in a daze, Shi Bufan immediately grabbed his phone and glanced at it before placing it down and sleeping in a comforted mood.

Shi Bufan finally entered the class after the morning class was over. The moment he entered, he immediately detected his little classmate’s passionate gaze as he walked towards the back. His little classmate’s eyes were trained on him, but he looked away because of the teacher.

The moment the morning class was over, Zhen Yuanbai immediately turned around to ask, “Why did you drink in the middle of the night?”

“Because I wasn’t in a good mood.” Shi Bufan lied on the desk and tried to catch up on sleep, and lied while he was at it. “My head hurts so bad and I want to sleep for a bit.”

Zhen Yuanbai knitted his eyebrows as Shi Bufan continued, “Massage my head. It really hurts.”

“You originally had a cerebral concussion, but you just had to go drink.” Zhen Yuanbai was quite angry, but he shifted his seat. He reached over and massaged Shi Bufan’s head. The classmates all looked over and even more, Qiu Jing was talking to Ming Mai.

Zhen Yuanbai didn’t detect that. While massaging Shi Bufan’s head, he asked, “Are you feeling better?”

“A little.” From the bottom of his heart, Shi Bufan felt better as he said, “Is the first class math class? I probably won’t be in the mood to learn. I feel too bad.”

“If you feel very bad, go to the infirmary.” Zhen Yuanbai said in a soft voice, “I will take notes and you can look at it at our evening study session.”

Shi Bufan narrowed his eyes and kept his head up while his chin was pressing against his arm. He allowed Zhen Yuanbai to continue to massage his temple, saying, “I think that I should try harder to find my lost memory. I keep on feeling like my headaches and feelings of being annoyed have to do with my lost memory.”

Zhen Yuanbai’s fingers had become stiff, but he continued to massage, saying, “Do you think you can recover your memory?”

“It might be a bit hard.” Shi Bufan said. “However, things come to those who wait. You’ll remember it eventually.”

Zhen Yuanbai stopped talking.

As expected, Shi Bufan ended up sleeping the entire math class. After all, he stayed up half the night, waiting for news. Actually, he knew that Shi Bufan might’ve fallen asleep, but he still suffered from insomnia. Humans are perplexing and complicated beings.

The moment lunch break was here, the students in class ran towards the cafeteria like hungry wolves. Shi Bufan slept the entire morning, but he was still dejected. Zhen Yuanbai tidied up the table and said, “Go rest in the dorm first and I’ll go get food at the canteen for you.”

Shi Bufan stood up and said, “There’s no need. I’ll come with you.”

Zhen Yuanbai walked shoulder to shoulder to the canteen. After they went downstairs, he was suddenly tugged to the bottom of the stairs by Shi Bufan. Zhen Yuanbai was caught off guard and he was quite frightened as he asked, “What’s going on?”

“Didn’t I kiss you for the first time over here?”

Zhen Yuanbai subconsciously nodded. Actually, there was no need to ask. He remembered clearly how he kissed Zhen Yuanbai while telling him that he was taking advantage of the fact that he lost his memory so that he could be closer to him.

Was the little classmate more frightened or more jeered at?

Shi Bufan moved closer to Zhen Yuanbai and he softly said, “Here, right?”

“Mhm…” Zhen Yuanbai didn’t know what he wanted to do, but he said, “You, you want to tell me something?”

“Nothing.” Shi Bufan sniffed Zhen Yuanbai’s neck and said, “I just want to reflect on it…”

“Uh —” The kiss was too fierce and Zhen Yuanbai was forced to struggle to follow along.

After a while, Shi Bufan let go of him and said in a low voice, “No wonder it’s so sweet.”
