Bai Tao did not receive systematic memory treatment. She was too busy taking care of the children and was a bit lazy. She felt that losing five years of memory would not have much impact, so she did not go to the hospital again. As time went by, she would occasionally recall some fragments of the past, such as...
For example, she suddenly remembered her plastic yet respectful honeymoon with Pei Shi—
Although it was a marriage by agreement, in order to create the appearance of at least a normal couple in front of the outside world, after holding a grand island wedding, even though Bai Tao was unwilling, she had to pretend to smile and embark on a honeymoon trip with Pei Shi.
In order to avoid gossip, Bai Tao and Pei Shi naturally couldn't have their own rooms. Fortunately, they both booked a presidential suite. In addition to the suite with a king-size bed, there was also a huge reception room with a sofa that was big enough for one person to lie on. It was absolutely spacious...
Bai Tao started to feel unhappy when she thought of this. It was the weekend and Pei Shi didn't go to work. He had just returned from taking his daughter to the amusement park and saw Bai Tao with a stern face, looking a little aggrieved.
"What's wrong?"
"Pei Shi, I remember again. You were so bad to me!" Bai Tao felt wronged for a long time. When she saw the person involved, she couldn't hold it back any longer. She stretched out her hand and hit Pei Shi in a non-threatening way. "Are you a man?"
Pei Shi was a little confused. He glanced at Pei Diandian who was standing beside him obediently. "You already have a daughter, and she looks so much like me. What makes you doubt that I am not a man? Am I not working hard enough recently?"
Bai Tao was a little annoyed and angry: "It's not about this! It's about our honeymoon!"
She handed Pei Diandian to the nanny, and waited until the child left before she started negotiating with Pei Shi: "Don't pretend, I remember it all. At that time, the presidential suite had only a big bed and a sofa bed, and you didn't even give me the big bed... We stayed in France for a week on our honeymoon, and you let me sleep on the sofa bed for the entire week!!! You slept on the big bed yourself!"
Bai Tao became more and more angry as she spoke: "So, Pei Shi, courtesy should be reciprocated. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Starting tonight, you will sleep in the guest room for seven days."
Pei Shi was stunned for a moment, then laughed a little: "Bai Tao, I wonder if you have selective amnesia. You only remember my shortcomings, but have completely forgotten your own mistakes that led to this result. It's exactly the same as the last time you remembered it."
"?"
"At that time, I suggested that you sleep in the big bed and I sleep in the living room, but you refused and said that now that the sexes are equal, there is no need for me to give you so many privileges. You should find an absolutely fair way to allocate sleeping resources, so that I can admit defeat sincerely."
oh…
This sounds like my style.
Bai Tao nodded: "This sounds reasonable. How could I, a smart and resourceful person, find a way to make a fair allocation? If it is a fair allocation, shouldn't I be able to sleep in a king-size bed room for at least three days out of seven? Why did you sleep in the last seven days?"
"The method you mentioned was rock-paper-scissors." Pei Shi pursed his lips, as if just recalling that time was a little hard to describe. "I thought you would come up with a smart and fair way, but you told me rock-paper-scissors, and said that it was the most convenient and fair. You even warned me that you were the strongest rock-paper-scissors player and had won the elementary school championship in the rock-paper-scissors tournament. You told me to be careful, because you would make me sleep on the sofa for seven days and I would admit defeat with all my heart."
And… there is such a thing? Thinking of this rock-paper-scissors tournament, Bai Tao's face turned a little red...
Her voice was a little dry: "Later..."
"From now on, we will play rock-paper-scissors." Pei Shi paused and looked at Bai Tao, "Then you will lose, every round."
"… "
"I'm actually quite curious. Didn't you win the elementary school category in the Rock-Paper-Scissors Championship? Even though you got a little older, did your level drop so drastically?"
Bai Tao remembered that she won the elementary school championship in the Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament. Her face was burning: "That award was specially organized for me by my father, and the certificate was also given to me by my father..."
Now it was Pei Shi's turn to laugh. "You really fooled me then. No wonder your skills are so bad. You lost all seven games, but you still cheated and insisted on playing again. I had no choice but to play another seven games with you. You still lost all the games."
So I'm so unlucky that I have to sleep on the sofa for seven days
Pei Shi nodded: "Yes, I have to admit defeat. I gave you two chances, but you didn't win. At first, I wanted to give you the chance to sleep on the big bed, but you were the one who said you wanted to compete fairly. In the end, you had to sleep on the sofa in shame."
That's it...
Bai Tao was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I still can't remember it clearly, then you don't have to sleep in the study..."
Pei Shi got serious after the conversation: "It can't be so easy to end, right?"
"Um?"
"Not sleeping in the study is just my normal right and treatment. I think you should at least make some compensation measures."
"Why?!" Bai Tao was a little surprised. "Although I am willing to accept the loss, I actually slept on the sofa in the living room for a week on my honeymoon. I think it's a great mercy for me to let you continue to sleep in the bedroom now!"
"You didn't sleep on the sofa in the end." Pei Shi glanced at Bai Tao, "I almost suspected that you did it on purpose. When did you wake up on the sofa in the end?" Pei Shi looked away, "Every night I waited for you to fall asleep and then you moved to the bed. I was actually the one who slept on the sofa for seven days."
When the man recalled the past, he even had a hint of accusation in his voice: "You didn't save me the trouble. I told you that even if I won, I would give you the chance to sleep on the bed, but you insisted on sleeping on the sofa, so I had to wait until you fell asleep before letting you move over."
Pei Shi thought for a moment and added, "You're quite heavy."
Ever since she had the kid, Bai Tao's temper had improved a lot. She felt that she was only a hair's breadth away from being as indifferent as a chrysanthemum. But before she had time to get angry, Pei Shi had already smiled and added -
"I'm very strong, it doesn't matter if you eat more or feel heavier."
Bai Tao felt a little embarrassed when he said this. She coughed and said, "So what did we do on our honeymoon? I can't remember anything else."
"It was probably just a group tour for two people, nothing special." Pei Shi recalled seriously, "We just wandered around Paris casually."
It's a bit regrettable that Bai Tao didn't think of this part, so while she felt a little regretful, she was very interested in this "honeymoon" trip: "What attractions did you go to?"
France is so romantic. There are so many famous places to visit in Paris alone. Although I don’t remember them all, at least I visited them with Pei Shi…
"I went to the Champs-Elysees."
Bai Tao asked longingly: "What else?"
Pei Shi was stunned for a moment, then said with some reason, "It's gone."
"You spent seven days shopping on the Champs-Elysees."
"…" Bai Tao was stunned for a long time before she found her words again, "I bought things for seven days?"
Pei Shi nodded: "You said you've been to Paris too many times, and there's nothing new about visiting the attractions again, so why not go shopping?"
Although this kind of shopping is in line with her personality, Bai Tao looked at Pei Shi and confirmed: "What about you? Are we going to act separately?"
Men don’t seem to have much enthusiasm for shopping…
"No." Pei Shi pursed his lips, "I'll accompany you." He glanced at Bai Tao, "Because you bought too much, you need someone to carry the bag." He paused and continued, "I'm the one who pays and carries the bag."
"I see..."
"But you didn't forget about me. You bought me one too."
Bai Tao's embarrassment was reduced a little: "I told you, I'm not someone who only thinks about myself. If you help me carry my bag, I will definitely reward you. So what should I give you?"
"A fridge magnet." Pei Shi pointed to the kitchen. "The Eiffel Tower magnet on the fridge now. Three euros."
"… "
It would have been fine if Pei Shi hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he mentioned it, Bai Tao also remembered: "That super ugly refrigerator magnet that looks so cheap?"
She was still wondering where this thing came from. Bai Tao couldn't stand the cheap feeling that ruined the overall home decoration style several times, so she threw it into the trash can several times, but Pei Shi picked it up every time.
What commemorative thing did she buy for Pei Shi at that time? It turned out that she just gave it to him during her "honeymoon"
With…
"Pei Shi, did you like me back then?" Bai Tao suddenly had a bold guess. She stared at Pei Shi, "Didn't they say that there is no love when you get married? Then why am I reluctant to throw away such a bad refrigerator magnet?"
Pei Shi looked away: "I'm just nostalgic. After all, I bought it at that time, so it can be regarded as a souvenir. Besides, I stick it on the refrigerator every day. When you regain your memory one day, you may reflect on how bad you treated me at that time. It can also serve as physical evidence if you keep it."
"When you said you bought me a gift, I thought you would at least buy me a tie and cufflinks, but it turned out to be just a refrigerator magnet. It is the cheapest and most casual gift I have ever received in my life, so I feel I must keep it. It is also a warning to myself."
"Warning about what?"
"It's a warning to you how heartless this person is."
"I let you sleep in a big bed, gave up going to other attractions and accompanied you to buy things for a week. I paid for everything and carried your bags. In the end, you got a cheap refrigerator magnet. You can go and see the refrigerator magnet yourself. Even the shape of the Eiffel Tower is distorted. I don't know which small shop you bought it from. I even suspect that it was a gift from someone because you bought too much."
"You even brought expensive gifts for Yu Xi, and even bought an LV scarf for your former housekeeper. But when it came to me, I only got a refrigerator magnet."
Pei Shi seemed to have been holding back these things for a long time. Now that he was revisiting the past, he recalled more and more: "Originally, I didn't want to tell you, but now that you remember it and are blaming me for it, I'll settle the score with you and see who treated whom worse."
"..." Seeing the expression on Pei Shi's face, Bai Tao had a bad feeling. She immediately changed the subject and tried to slip away, "Hey, I'll go see how the baby is..."
"It's already this late, so of course Auntie has already gone to sleep with the baby. Now just sit down and we'll sort it out carefully."
No, don't do it...
"On the eve of your wedding, you said you wanted to hold a bachelor party, and I agreed. But I didn't expect you to invite more than a hundred people, forty of whom were men, and thirty of them, Feifei said, had had a scandal with you in college."
"After my honeymoon, she said she would make me a breakfast, but it turned out to be filled with expired tomatoes. I went to see a doctor after eating it."
"Also, you can't remember our wedding anniversary at all. You even forgot my birthday before. You post so many love announcements online when you have time, but you don't even bother to go through the formalities of getting married and send me a useless gift."
…
The more Pei Shi talked, the more Bai Tao bowed her head. She didn't even know that she had stepped on so many marriage pitfalls...
"I'm sorry, Pei Shi, I didn't like you before... Don't you like me too? So we're all fair... How can I care about someone I don't like? Don't think about the past."
Pei Shi coughed and said, "No need to apologize, I'm not angry. After all, you are lucky to have found the most generous man in the world."
"But..." Bai Tao felt a little bit weird the more she thought about it, "Pei Shi, if you mind, why did you let me have a bachelor party? Besides, it's just a plastic marriage, there's no rule that you have to eat the breakfast made by your new wife. My cooking skills are obviously not that good, why do you have to eat what I make? You can obviously choose not to eat it... As for why I always forget your birthday, from what you said, you really hope that I will remember to hold a birthday party for you and give you a birthday present? Since you want a birthday present so much, why don't you just tell me directly..."
Pei Shi stopped talking.
He looked at Bai Tao for a moment before looking away: "Maybe I always remember to eat but not to be beaten, so I ended up falling for you."
Bai Tao took advantage of the victory and continued to attack: "Pei Shi, please explain clearly, what do you mean..."
Bai Tao's question was intercepted by Pei Shi with a kiss.
The man finished the kiss and looked a little unnatural: "Bai Tao, the past is the past, don't dwell on it, let's just seize the present."
The past is past, and the sweet future is still before us.
After going around in circles, Bai Tao didn't miss it. She felt that she was lucky to have the happiness she has now.
But when she thinks of the "honeymoon" trip that she can't remember completely, she still feels a little regretful: "Although we were not very close at that time, I always feel that those memories are very precious. There is a saying in the entertainment industry called "archaeology", which means that if celebrity couples officially announce their relationship, fans can still go back and find clues of their sweetness in the past. Now it's my turn, and I can't even do "archaeology" myself..."
"Then let's make up for the honeymoon." Pei Shi held Bai Tao's hand, "I'll make it up to you, okay?"
"If you want to continue shopping in Paris for seven days, I will still accompany you."
"If you still want to just buy me a fridge magnet to get rid of me, I will still stay with you."
He glanced at Bai Tao and said, "You want me to sleep on the sofa for seven days? That's not okay."
The man cleared his throat pretentiously. "It's well known that we should do something on a honeymoon. We can't neglect this."
Okay okay.
Bai Tao thought, Pei Shi is really pushing the envelope. It sounds like he's giving Bai Tao a honeymoon, but after all, isn't it just for himself? Look at this man's sanctimonious look.
snort.
It’s like another honeymoon, and I’m kind of looking forward to it.
