Chapter 98: Chapter 97: Oh, You Suddenly Lost Your Memory Chapter 98: Chapter 97: Oh, You Suddenly Lost Your Memory Shen Jingchuan frowned. Blacklisting? Couldnât he have a bit of a temper?
He poked at the sand on the ground with some impatience and said in a tense voice,
âHurry up, what is it you want to talk to me about? If you delay any longer, the crew will notice weâve muted our mics.â
Wenyan was indeed worried about this and quickly said,
âActually, I wanted to talk to you about that night at home when you asked me to borrow money.â
âMm!â
As soon as money was mentioned, Shen Jingchuanâs face darkened immediately. Not because Wenyan hadnât lent him money, but because he was truly fucking broke! Absolutely penniless!
Just thinking about it irked him!
âUhâŠâ [Heâs got a black face now, can we really continue talking? If I say I lost my memory, is he going to kick me away?]
Shen Jingchuan: ââŠâŠâ He had a bad temper, but did he really look like someone who would hit people at any moment?
âYou keep talking.â
âOkay, but before that, I want to tell you about a strange adventure of mine. It might sound bizarre, but Iâm definitely not lying.â
Shen Jingchuan: ââŠâŠâ Could there be anything more bizarre than returning to his country and suddenly discovering he could hear someoneâs inner voice?
âIt goes like this, you know about the imposter Shen Zhirou incident, right?â
âNonsense.â
âThen you know I was the first to find something amiss, right?â
âI know, Mom already told me. Actually⊠never mind.â
âHmm?â Shen Jingchuan had only spoken half of his thought before stopping suddenly, which piqued Wenyanâs curiosity, âWhat is it, keep talking.â
[Please, donât make me beg you, just say it, donât leave me hanging.]
Shen Jingchuan: ââŠâŠ Never mind, itâs a waste of time. You go ahead with your story.â
ââŠAlright.â Although she was very curious about what he hadnât been able to say, he was right, they couldnât waste time.
âActually, the details about the imposter Shen Zhirou that didnât add up have been there for a while, but for the past few years, I hadnât noticed them at all. However, on the night of Momâs birthday, I suddenly woke up and felt something was very wrong.â
Wenyan didnât intend to reveal to anyone in this world about her time travel, so she borrowed the âawakeningâ term mentioned by the original owner of the body.
âMm, you woke up, and then what?â Shen Jingchuanâs brows furrowed even more.
Suddenly woke up?! It was bizarre, but he could hear her inner voice, ah!
âThen I felt that Shen Zhirou was a problem, so I started investigating. Later, my second brother, eldest brother, dad, and mom all became aware, and through everyoneâs joint efforts, we quickly uncovered the truth. Itâs a good thing, right? But then I had a tragedy?â
âOh? As the price for your sudden awakening, you suddenly lost your memory??â
â!!!!!â Wenyan was stunned, âHow do you know?! You⊠you donât have the same experience as me, do you?â
[But it doesnât seem like it, he doesnât seem to have forgotten me and the family.]
What else could Shen Jingchuan say, âI guessed. Actually, upon reflecting, even though we had unpleasantness because of the imposter Shen Zhirou, you donât seem like the kind of person who would default on a debt. So, I thought, you might have lost your memory.â
âDefault on a debt?â Wenyan got hit hard again, âLast time didnât you say it was a promise? Are you mocking me? But whether itâs really defaulting on a debt or not fulfilling a promise, I assure you I definitely didnât do it on purpose.â
Shen Jingchuan took a deep breath, a sign his patience was nearly spent.
âSo, you really did lose your memory, and you seem to have become completely unfamiliar with me. Did you delete all our previous chat history?!â
Wenyan shook her head helplessly, âI donât know, Iâve changed quite a few phones over time, and Iâve checked all the phones I could find, but thereâs no chat history, just blank space. I guess itâs also been quite a long time since we last talked.â
âOh, itâs been a while.â Shen Jingchuan suddenly changed the topic, âIt looks like youâre not doing very well either, joining this show. Forget about borrowing that ten million.â
Wenyan reacted immediately, âSo youâre doing this show for the money?â
âWhat else? Surprised? Would I ask you for a loan if I werenât strapped for cash? Alright, you can go now, the fireâs about to catch.â
âBut I still donât know what the ten million is all about.â
âLetâs talk about it after the show when I get my phone back. Iâll screenshot it for you then.â
âBut the show is going to take sevenââ
Before Wenyan could finish, someone from the directorâs team came running over.
He asked the two, âWhatâs going on, is there a problem with the mic?â
âYes,â Shen Jingchuan lied without batting an eyelid, âthere was a little problem, so I restarted it. Itâs alright now.â
As he spoke, he turned the mic back on right in front of the showâs director.
Wenyan didnât have the nerve that Shen Jingchuan did, and only turned his mic back on after the director left.
Just then, the pile of hay in front of them suddenly started to smoke.
âThere are sparks! Itâs catching fire!â
âI see it.â Shen Jingchuan didnât say more and carefully carried the kindling over to the campsite.
They finally had fire and their voices were back.
The live chat was in an uproar at this moment.
In fact, since Shen Jingchuan and Wenyan muted their mics, the live chat had already become discontented.
âWhatâs the deal? Did we just watch a silent movie?â
âYeah, what the heck were those two talking about?â
âI donât believe they just sat there fanning the flames in silence, I saw them nodding and shaking their heads.â
âArgh, I canât stand it!â
âWhat could those two possibly have to talk about?â
âIt must have been a mic problem, probably we in the live chat spotted the issue and the showâs crew sent a director over after seeing it.â
âThen the director went and had a word with them, and then the sound came back.â
âWuwuwu, I know your explanation is right, but I donât need it. I want to know what they were saying just now.â
âThey didnât say anything, right? Just starting a fire.â
âWho would believe that? They sat there for minutes without speaking a word?â
âWuwuwu, can the sound be restored when the official episode comes out?â
âWhat are you thinking about in front? Just now, from that angle, there wasnât even a cameraman close by to follow them, everyone was far away, no one knows what they said. Itâs likely that those few minutes will be cut from the official episode.â
âAh, no way! The less you let me hear, the more curious I become. Did they know each other before or something?â
âI donât think Alexâs personality is the type to initiate communication. Even Min Xiasha, who tried to approach him, got yelled at and dismissed without any face given to her. How could he actively allow Wenyan to stay by his side?â
âAh, am I experiencing a breakup before Iâve even been in love?â
âYeah, look at Wenyanâs face when he left, his smile had changed, he looked really happy.â
âWuwu, if I could sit by Alex for a few minutes, Iâd be happy too.â
Wenyan indeed felt pretty good.
Because Shen Jingchuan wasnât as difficult as she had imagined, he accepted her claim of memory loss so easily.
Surely, the previous misunderstanding would be cleared up soon.
