"So you heard it." Eyelids lifted, Xue Xue said frankly: "Yes, I did find someone to investigate Yang Liuer."
"Why? Because you suspect she has something to do with the Dragon Gang?"
"Hmm." Xue Xue did not answer Luo Chi's question directly: "What identity do you use to ask me this question?"
Roche was taken aback.
"what?"
"I said, what identity do you use to ask me this question? Or, what position do you think you have to ask this question? And you think I have to answer you?"
Probably didn't expect Xue Xue to ask such a question, and Luo Chi couldn't answer for a while.
And inexplicably, he felt a little flustered.
Because of Xue Xue's eyes, with a mocking coldness, and alienation that he has never seen before.
It's like drawing a line invisibly, clearly separating you from me.
He settled down, got rid of the inexplicable thoughts in his mind, and opened his mouth to speak, but Xue Xue was one step ahead of him.
"Look, you don't know either."
"Luo Chi, in your heart, I'm probably worse than Yang Liu'er."
The style changed sharply.
Jian Jian Qiu Tong was dyed with the thin and permeable water mist, and the mockery of Luo Chi just now became self-deprecating. What he brought out in the flow of his eyes was no longer the pride and self-confidence that seemed to be deeply rooted in his bones, but helplessness and self-confidence. Confused and fragile.
From a delicate rose, it faded into a delicate little white flower.
There is almost no inconsistency.
Perhaps the impact of the contrast was too great, Luo Chi just stood there, his head cluttered, not knowing what to do.
"no."
In the end, only these three words were uttered.
It's more of an instinct-driven response than a thoughtful answer.
Luo Chi could vaguely realize that this was a very critical time.
"It's not like this." He said, "You and Yang Liu'er... You and her... are different."
"What's different?" Xue Xue didn't let Luo Chi go, and continued to ask: "Yang Liuer is your savior, what about me? What am I to you?"
Hearing this, Luo Chi's eyes flashed a trace of confusion.
What kind of existence does Xue Xue mean to him? He didn't seem to have thought about this question, or rather, he deliberately didn't think about it.
Because I don't know the answer, or rather... unwilling to accept the real answer.
Roche's amnesia is true.
Luo Chi, who has amnesia, does not need to wear a mask to cover up his true heart, and can openly show the side he has been deliberately suppressing.
Yearning for the ordinary side.
That's why he rejects his past so much, because even if he loses his memory, Luo Chi can feel that he used to be like a trapped beast bound in a cage.
Because of this, he even resisted Xue Manqing.
Xue Manqing, who is no longer a lover, is just a hub connecting with the past, an existence that Luo Chi avoids.
Very cruel fact.
So Xue Manqing did not wait for her lover until she died.
The lover who is willing to fight to the death in order to protect her, in a world where the strong eat the weak.
But now because of the arrival of Xue Xue, just like the butterfly effect, the established world line has changed invisibly.
So does Roche.
Even if his memory is still missing, his disgust for the past has not disappeared, but the woman in front of him...
"I don't know." He admitted frankly, "I don't know what you mean to me now, but Xue Xue, you and Yang Liu'er are different. I'm pretty sure of that."
The man's voice was low and magnetic, and beneath the seemingly steady tone, there were emotions that he didn't even notice.
Xue Xue watched him quietly for a while.
Compared with just now, the calm gaze made Luo Chi even more nervous.
As if awaiting trial.
The lighting in the living room is orange-yellow, but the warm lighting cannot dissipate and slowly wrap around the fingertips, and the coolness penetrates into every part of the body little by little.
Unconsciously, Luo Chi held his breath.
Then, almost at the same moment, he saw a beautiful arc of Xue Xue's lips.
He thought of the rainbow after the rain.
Even if it doesn't look real, it gives people hope.
"Luo Chi." Xue Xue's smile contained a hint of playfulness. "Have you ever thought about who gave you the medicine?"
In the end, Xue Xue didn't tell him why he wanted someone to follow Yang Liuer, nor did he explain why Yang Liuer was related to the Tiger Gang.
Flies don't bite eggs seamless.
Luo Chi understands this truth, and also knows that Xue Xue is not someone who deliberately picks things up.
But willow...
"You're a little lost today, Luo Chi."
Luo Chi froze when he met the supervisor's gaze.
"Sorry, I… "
The supervisor waved his hand.
"It's alright, I don't mean to blame you." After a pause, the supervisor said lightly, "Your performance this month has reached the standard ahead of schedule, so I'll give you a short vacation."
What might be a surprise to ordinary people, but it made Luo Chi feel stunned.
"I… "
"Don't worry, your vacation will not be deducted."
"No, that's not what I meant..."
"It's not efficient to continue to stay in the office in this state." The supervisor pointed out: "Take advantage of this half-day to solve the troubles, and you can continue to work hard for the company without distractions from tomorrow, don't you think? ?"
The other party's words were all on this point, and Luo Chi's refusal only seemed to be ignorant of flattery.
What's more, today's work performance was really unsatisfactory, and Luo Chi knew it himself.
"I see." He bowed to the supervisor. "thank you."
"Hey, look, it's not a big deal, there's nothing to be thankful for." The supervisor had a kind expression on his face. "I explained it to the personnel, just fill out a form later."
