Inside the hospital.
Ye Yao frowned tightly, with concern in his eyes as he looked at the examination report in his hands, “You mean …… his memory is temporarily stuck at the age of eighteen in high school, and he doesn’t remember anything after that?”
The doctor in white coat pushed up his glasses and replied: “This is indeed the case, but you don’t have to worry too much. According to our observation, the bruising in Mr. Lu’s brain will disappear after a while, and Mr. Lu should be able to regain his normal memory by then.”
Ye Yao was more concerned about another matter: “What about his body? Is his health okay, doctor?”
“There are two minor bruises,” the doctor said, “which will not affect normal movement, and I have already prescribed medicine for Mr. Lu. The bruises will basically heal in a few days.”
Ye Yao was relieved, and asked if there was anything he should be aware of when dealing with Lu Xun, who had temporary amnesia, and if anything would happen if he accidentally irritated Lu Xun.
“It’s fine to have a little friction in normal contact and communication,” the doctor explained, “but I don’t know if there’s anything that was particularly unacceptable to Mr Lu when he was younger, but which has happened now, and if so, it’s better not to tell him directly so as to avoid causing him sudden and serious trauma. ”
Ye Yao thanked the doctor, turned around and walked to Lu Xun’s ward.
On his way to work, he heard the news that Lu Xun’s car had been rear-ended and that Lu Xun had fainted. He had rushed to the hospital where he was told that Lu Xun’s life was not in danger.
Ye Yao went to see Lu Xun first, but he was not awake, so he went back to talk to the doctor.
…… Something that Lu Xun was particularly uncomfortable with when he was 18 years old…in high school.
Lu Xun’s parents were alive and well, he was in good health, and he was not bothered about money, so there was nothing he couldn’t tell Lu Xun.
If you ask him, the only thing that Lu Xun couldn’t possibly accept was the fact that he’s gone from straight man to a bent person.
Lu Xun was in the VIP ward and as Ye Yao walked to Lu Xun’s room, he remembered clearly that in high school he and Lu Xun were simply friends.
So he should now pose the concern of a friend visiting, rather than the worry of a lover.
The difference between the two was a little difficult for Ye Yao, a non-acting major, to grasp, so he weighed his options and decided to keep his expressions relatively light for the time being and see how Lu Xun reacted.
Ye Yao quickly walked to the door of the ward.
The door was closed and no movement could be heard from inside. Ye Yao lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath.
He was about to face the Lu Xun of his high school memories.
While worried …… he was a little nervous as well, wondering what Lu Xun’s thoughts would be when he found out he had lost his memory and how he would behave when faced with a different person than he was in high school.
Would he feel weird to see him suddenly ten years older?
Ye Yao loosened the bridge of his nose and saw the ring he was wearing on his ring finger. As a friend of course he would not wear a wedding ring, he took it off and put it in his pocket, straightened his clothes a little and opened the door gently.
He saw Lu Xun with his eyes open and expressionless.
—-
Lu Xun thought he was mentally strong enough, but being caught off guard by something like this still took him away from his senses for a moment.
The electronic clock on the wall of the ward told him clearly the current day and year.
He traveled forward in time, to more than ten years later.
The body was still his familiar own body, with a small mole on his left wrist, and he had not borrowed another person’s body to return to.
There were so many changes that could happen here in a decade or so that even ordinary house prices could multiply more than tenfold in the course of a decade or so, not to mention others.

His parents, and the friend who was so dear to his heart and whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

The visitor was much more mature than he remembered, the Ye Yao of old was youthful looking, the Ye Yao of present times was mature looking, but whatever the period, the Ye Yao put him in a pleasant mood.
Lu Xun was relieved.
Fortunately, Ye Yao was still with him, they were not strangers and the worst had not happened.
Lu Xun’s heart sank again before the relief had even lasted a second.
Why did Ye Yao look so cold and seem to be holding back some emotion?
Even so, Ye Yao came to see him, fearing that something had happened to him, so something must have happened.
It was definitely not Ye Yao’s problem, it was his.
…… the future him, had he been so enamoured by other distractions that he forgot to treat Ye Yao too well?
After more than a decade of floating in the market, who knew what the future him had become, maybe he had already been eaten up by the sugar coating of capitalism.
Ye Yao, who was hurt by him, came to see him in spite of his past.
Ye Yao went to Lu Xun’s bedside and before he could speak, he saw Lu Xun sitting up violently.
Ye Yao was taken aback and went to hold Lu Xun’s shoulders: “Don’t get up so abruptly, watch out for your head, are you dizzy?”
Lu Xun forced a smile out of the corner of his mouth, “You’re still concerned about me.”
Ye Yao, also unsure of the exact date Lu Xun’s memory cut off and what happened to them at that time, tentatively inquired, “Shouldn’t I …… care about you?”
“You’re just too soft-hearted.” Lu Xun lowered his voice.
Ye Yao: “?”
What did his visit to Lu Xun have to do with being soft-hearted?
With only eighteen years of memory, Lu Xun was clearly not as sophisticated as the Lu Xun in his thirties, and Ye Yao could easily see the self-deprecation and sadness in Lu Xun’s eyes.
“Are you dizzy and do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Ye Yao asked again, as Lu Xun’s body condition was his priority.
“I am not uncomfortable.” Lu Xun shook his head, “I don’t have any external injuries, can I be discharged, and you’re coming with me to a place.”
Ye Yao: “Where does …… go where?”
“Go to the bank.” Lu Xun threw in his voice.
Ye Yao: “Wait here for a while, I’ll ask the doctor to come back and take a look at you.”
This was not just memory loss, Lu Xun seemed to be quite sick!
Ye Yao was unable to leave to go and get the doctor as he was held by Lu Xun by the wrist.
Lu Xun felt that time was running out, he had suddenly crossed over and who knew when he would cross back over again?
He harboured ill will towards anyone who owed Ye Yao a debt, even if it was himself.
And the most proven way to make it difficult for a man corrupted by capitalism was to deprive him of his assets.
“You believe me, I’m not that scum. You come with me to the bank and I’ll transfer the money to you.” Lu Xun lowered his voice, “I’ll keep some of his money for my parents and give the rest all to you, not a penny for him!”
Ye Yao: “???”
***
Sitting side by side with Lu Xun on the edge of the bed, the corners of Ye Yao’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Are you saying …… you think you crossed over and the person you are now is not the person you were when you were thirty?” Ye Yao said.
He already knew that Lu Xun had lost his memory, but from Lu Xun’s point of view, it would seem reasonable to think that he had crossed over.
Thinking that he had crossed over to Lu Xun more than ten years later, the first thing he wanted to do when he crossed over was to give him the assets of this former self.
Ye Yao couldn’t help himself and reached out and touched Lu Xun’s hair.
At eighteen, he would not have done this to an eighteen-year-old Lu Xun, but in his thirties, he and Lu Xun had long since lost all the boundaries.
Lu Xun, an unseasoned eighteen year old soul, was visibly stunned when his head was touched for the first time.
The adolescent’s self-esteem was strong, and Lu Xun at this time was not as flirtatious as after college, but also had a relatively Cool Brother persona, after Ye Yao realized, he withdrew his hand, “It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have touched your head ……”
Ye Yao’s voice stopped as he noticed that Lu Xun’s ears were a little red.
Lu Xun, a straight man in high school, was not angry and embarrassed when his head was touched unexpectedly?
“…… What kind of relationship we have, it’s okay for you to touch it.” Lu Xun stood up, “Let’s go, I’ll go to the bank with you.”
Before Lu Xun would insist on going to the bank and transfer their husband and wife’s joint assets to his account, Ye Yao hastened to clarify.
Ye Yao seriously declared, “I have a good relationship with you in your thirties, he has done me no wrong, and we have a date to go fishing together when we are old.”
“…… Really?” Lu Xun didn’t quite believe it, knowing Ye Yao, there was a ten percent chance that Ye Yao didn’t want to take other people’s money.
“What’s the point of lying to you?” Ye Yao patted Lu Xun’s shoulder, “You’re not comfortable in the hospital, wait for me here, I’ll get you discharged and then we’ll go back together to rest.”
Lu Xun agreed and Ye Yao got up and walked out of the VIP room.
If Lu Xun was in his thirties, he would have asked his men to do the discharge procedures and get Ye Yao stay with him a little longer. The eighteen-year-old Lu Xun was now being ignored by Ye Yao, leaving Ye Yao alone to ponder.
Ye Yao wondered if there were any next steps to be taken.
Lu Xun was definitely not be able to go to work in his current state, but it would not be a problem to hand over the company to another vice president for a short period of time and get back when Lu Xun regained his memory.
And when Lu Xun returned home with him, would there be anything in the house that Lu Xun would find wrong?
Their marriage certificate was locked away in the most secret and hidden safe, and he didn’t believe Lu Xun could get it.
The rest …… he would then go and lock Lu Xun’s bedside table so he couldn’t see the various oddities in there, so there shouldn’t be too much to worry about.
Lu Xun came to stay with him on weekends in high school and expressed his desire many times to continue living together in the future, so it was probably not surprising that they lived together.
Ye Yao finished thinking about it and put down the worries in his heart.
* **
Ye Yao took Lu Xun back home.
Due to their busy schedules, they usually lived in a large flat in the city center and only went back to the more distant and quiet villa when they had a break.
Ye Yao had taken annual leave to look after Lu Xun, and since Lu Xun didn’t need to be busy with anything during this time, he took Lu Xun straight back to the villa.
On the way, Lu Xun put on a cool face that Ye Yao hadn’t seen in a long time.
He looked out of the car window at the very different view of the city from a decade ago, and after a long silence, he suddenly spoke, “Your partner won’t be angry that you spend so much time looking after me, and that you let me stay at your house.”
The eighteen year old Ye Yao would not have heard anything wrong with this statement, he would have only thought it was a simple statement of concern, but now, after ten years with Lu Xun, Ye Yao could subconsciously taste a hint of jealousy in this statement.
The straight Lu Xun of high school memories, eating vinegar of an unknown person.
…… Was he thinking too much?
“I’m not in a relationship, I’m staying with you for now.” Ye Yao said straight away, “We’re best friends, of course we’re staying together.”
The corners of Lu Xun’s mouth were starting to raise but he controlled it so that the other party would not see it.
The car pulled into the villa, Ye Yao drove into their garage and guided Lu Xun out of the car and into the house.
Ye Yao remembered the cupboard of stuff to lock up in the bedroom and made an excuse to change into his loungewear and went straight to the bedroom.
After checking everything that might have been left out and locking the cupboard, Ye Yao breathed a sigh of relief and started to change into his house clothes.
His loungewear was all hand-picked by Lu Xun, soft and comfortable, everything was fine, except for the wider neckline.
Ye Yao was already used to wearing them and seeing them, subconsciously didn’t notice anything wrong with them.
***
Lu Xun didn’t doubt Ye Yao’s claim of changing into his house clothes and wandered around the ground floor by himself. He entered the house and looked around, finally convinced that he and Ye Yao were still living together in the future.
Ye Yao was really not married.
The corners of Lu Xun’s mouth lifted slightly in a controlled grin.
Great, he must become best friends with Ye Yao as a widow and widower.
As Lu Xun thought this, he heard footsteps from behind him and turned around towards the source of sound.
Ye Yao walked towards him in a beige loungewear with a large neckline, revealing Ye Yao’s large shoulders and neckline and beautiful collarbone.
The curve of the slender neck lifted like a swan waiting to be kissed.
Lu Xun froze.
He had never seen Ye Yao in such a dress before.
…… it was very pleasing to the eye.
——————–
The author has something to say.
Ye Yao: He seems to be going down before I even make a move.
Ye Yao should be able to spot Lu Xun bending into a mosquito coil in high school, just convinced he’s pretty straight now, hehehe.

I think so. I also distinctly remember having read this chapter already. I actually think our translator changed the chapter name, which is why we got a notification.
