"Actually, there's no need to do this. I just lost my memory, not that I can't take care of myself. I'll find a house in the next two days and move out soon. I'll also pay for the previous medical expenses... um!"
The rest of Shen Antu's words were blocked in his throat by Xie Duo's mouth.
Chapter 5 Lies must be covered with lies
There was a tangle of breaths.
It was a restrained kiss, limited to the touching of lips, and lasted no more than three seconds.
Xie Duo didn't dare to go too far because he knew he was doomed to lose control. This kiss was just to calm Shen Antu down.
Shen Antu was indeed calm, or maybe he didn't know how to react. In any case, he couldn't accuse Xie Duo of any more unpleasant crimes.
Xie Duo pinched his chin and made him look at him: "Repeat what I just said."
"Look... look at you." Shen Antu forgot to even blink, and his pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes were staring at Xie Duo with a tearful look in them. Xie Duo felt a little overwhelmed.
"No, the previous sentence."
"We haven't broken up." Shen Antu repeated mechanically, emphasizing each word, like a tape recorder without any intelligence.
"Well. If you must know, I can tell you the whole truth. Because my parents wanted me to get married and have children, and you knew about this, so you quietly moved out, intending to fulfill my wish, or to be more precise, to fulfill my parents' wish. Now you know why I kept it a secret from you. If I had told you this from the beginning, I might not have been able to see you when I came to the hospital the next day."
Xie Duo always had a cold expression when he said these words. He was born with a face that was too regular. Zhou Minghui once complained that with Xie Duo's appearance, even if he pointed to the sun and said that it was the new chandelier he bought for his home, others would first doubt their own understanding.
And now, Xie Duo is deliberately trying to deceive someone.
Shen Antu sniffed and lowered his eyelids to hide his emotions: "So this is why you don't let me go out?"
Lies must be covered up with lies. Xie Duo said, "That's the first reason. The second reason is that there was something wrong with your car accident. It's not safe for you to go out alone. So even for my sake, please don't go out during this period of time, okay?"
Xie Duo released his chin, but he didn't know whether he had been too heavy-handed or Shen Antu's skin was too tender, but after just two pinches, a red fingerprint appeared on Shen Antu's chin, which looked quite shocking. Xie Duo had to reach out and rub it again.
Shen Antu was shocked: "Could it be that one of your suitors sent someone to mess with me? What kind of bloody plot is this?"
“… Probably not. Maybe he’s a business competitor. We’re still investigating.”
Xie Duo couldn't explain. The problem he mentioned actually referred to the problem with Shen Antu's plane crash. In the past few days, he sent people to secretly investigate the cause of the plane accident and found many suspicious points. The biggest suspicious point was that the black box of the plane was missing. However, based on the on-site investigation, some situations could still be seen.
At that time, Shen Antu took his fiancée and two bodyguards to Haisha Island. The fastest way was to take a plane across the sea and then over Mount Omanshi. This journey only took half an hour. The most dangerous situation was encountering sea fog, which seriously affected visibility.
But the pilot at that time already had nearly 10 years of flying experience and had traveled between City Z and Haisha Island more than a hundred times. It must not be his first time flying in sea fog, so he should know how to deal with it.
The reason given in the investigation report at the time was that the helicopter flown by the pilot may not have been equipped with high-tech radar, air collision avoidance system, etc. In ultra-low visibility, the helicopter finally crashed into the mountainside of Mount Omanshi at an altitude of more than 300 meters. However, the specific cause still needs further investigation and analysis.
Xie Duo didn't believe that Shen Antu's private plane was not equipped with the most advanced radar and air collision avoidance system. Someone must have tampered with the plane, or the pilot was bribed to kill Shen Antu in a way that both sides would perish.
As for who wants to kill Shen Antu, there are too many people. In the eyes of outsiders, Xie Duo is first and foremost his biggest enemy.
Putting outsiders aside, Shen Antu's three brothers were enough to make him suffer. As soon as the news of Shen Antu's accident came out these few days, his elder brother and two younger brothers were like hyenas smelling rotten meat, and they tore the group into pieces.
Xie Duo naturally couldn't tell Shen Antu about these things. Fortunately, Shen Antu didn't care. After he made clear the "reason for the breakup", he calmed down a lot and stopped making a fuss. He just sat there obediently and assured Xie Duo: "I will stay at home well, and you should be careful when you go out to work."
Xie Duo hummed and reached out to touch Shen Antu's head. This time he didn't dodge.
The visible wound on Shen Antu's head is on the corner of his forehead, but in fact the hardest hit spot was on the right top of his head, and there is still a bump when you touch it.
Xie Duo gently placed his hand on the bag: "Does your head still hurt?"
"Yeah." Shen Antu dragged his nasal tone, sounding aggrieved and pitiful.
"I'll keep you warm, go to sleep."
"good… "
Xie Duo watched the surveillance footage for a whole day and discovered that when Shen Antu had a headache, he would cover this area with his palms. Perhaps the warmth from his palms would make him feel more comfortable.
So the two of them turned off the lights and lay down on the bed together. Shen Antu naturally leaned into Xie Duo's arms. Xie Duo wrapped his arms around him, covered his head with his palms, and whispered, "Good night."
