Chapter 1: Lost Memory?

“Hmm, I’ve reviewed it, but it still needs further optimization. The picture fluency could be higher, and there are a few inappropriate connections in the action special effects.”

Halfway through the conversation, Xiao Li, who had been waiting on the other end of the phone, couldn’t help but call out: “Mr. Lu?”

Lu Fangchi snapped back to reality and responded, “Let’s talk about it later.” With that, he hung up the phone.

His gaze fell on a figure not far away.

Someone was sitting slumped outside his home, head down, face obscured.

Lu Fangchi slowly walked up, and the motion-activated light came on, illuminating the blue and white striped patient’s gown on this person.

Before he could figure out who it was, the person lifted his head, revealing an extremely familiar face.

Lu Fangchi was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly: “What are you doing here?” His tone was not very good.

No choice, this was his rival—Zhou Zheng.

Every time they met, it was filled with cold sarcasm and Retaliate in kind，Lu Fangchi had already worked overtime for three nights in a row at the company, and he really didn’t want to waste his breath on him at this moment.

At this time, Zhou Zheng suddenly stood up, and probably because he stood up too abruptly, he staggered forward.

Lu Fangchi quickly stepped back.

Zhou Zheng steadied himself and replied: “When I woke up, I was in the hospital, but I don’t remember anything. The only thing I remember is this place, so I came.”

What does this mean, has he lost his memory?

Lu Fangchi frowned at him, the puzzled expression on the alpha’s face did not seem to be fake, and then he noticed his haggard appearance, with a bandage wrapped around his head and fine scratches on his face.

Looking down further, Zhou Zheng was actually wearing a pair of summer sandals, and his ten exposed fingers were curled up. It was the dead of winter in November, wasn’t he cold?

But this had nothing to do with him.

Lu Fangchi stopped asking, immediately opened his phone contacts, found a phone number and dialed.

“Beep… beep…” Maybe he was busy, the other party didn’t answer for a long time.

Lu Fangchi could only keep calling.

When the electronic prompt tone “The phone you dialed is temporarily unanswered, please call again later…” sounded for the third time, and the Zhou Zheng in front of him was trembling like a sieve, Lu Fangchi finally had a change of heart and asked, “Your assistant’s phone is not answered, which hospital do you live in?” Then he opened the car-hailing software, preparing to call a car for him.

When Zhou Zheng heard the word “hospital,” his hair stood on end, and he shouted fiercely: “I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

The man frowned deeply, pursed his lips, and his face was full of impatience and domineering autocratic tone.

But the next second Zhou Zheng was extinguished, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: “I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

While speaking, the two people made eye contact, and Lu Fangchi actually saw a bit of pleading in Zhou Zheng’s eyes.

Was this an expression that Zhou Zheng’s face could show?

The overbearing and arrogant expression was still fresh in memory, along with the arrogant and disdainful look that pierced into people’s chests, which was completely different from the current face of a dead dog who was humble and begging for mercy.

Even if they were arch-rivals, Lu Fangchi had to admit that Zhou Zheng really had a face that was hard to talk about. The crew cut was an extremely particular hairstyle for men’s appearance. The facial lines were perfectly connected, with clear angles and hard features. The extremely superior appearance, handsome and aggressive, had a very small possibility of having a twin.

But now the total attacker Mr. Zhou Zheng had a face full of careful flattery. The originally sharp and sharp edges became obedient, like a large dog exposing its belly, wagging its tail and begging for mercy, which was really misleading.

Lu Fangchi paused for a moment, and then asked: “So what do you want to do?”

Zhou Zheng blinked his eyes, and then pointed to the door with his finger.

He wanted to enter his home?

No way.

The blessing was immediately broken. Lu Fangchi expressionlessly lit up the screen and called a car again. This time he didn’t ask which hospital it was. No matter which hospital, just send it.

“I’ll see you downstairs.” Lu Fangchi put away his phone, which was his only kindness left.

Zhou Zheng didn’t respond, using actions to say “no,” and his feet stood still.

Lu Fangchi frowned slightly and urged, “Hurry up, the driver will be here soon.”

Zhou Zheng still didn’t move, lowered his head and avoided the young man’s line of sight.

It seemed that he was determined to be unreasonable.

During the stalemate between the two people, the phone rang, and Lu Fangchi pressed the answer button and said “hello” once.

“The car has arrived downstairs, where are you?” It was the taxi driver.

“I’ll be there in two minutes.” Lu Fangchi hung up the phone and patted Zhou Zheng’s back.

Even though Zhou Zheng was a patient now, he was a physically strong adult alpha. His legs were long on him. As long as he didn’t want to walk, there was really no way for others.

“Don’t pretend not to hear, the car has arrived, go downstairs.” Lu Fangchi patiently reminded.

Zhou Zheng turned a deaf ear.

“I’m saying for the last time, go downstairs.”

Zhou Zheng was as stable as Mount Tai, determined to pretend to be deaf and dumb to the end.

It seemed that there was no way out. Before the driver called to urge, Lu Fangchi took the initiative to call and said: “Sorry, I don’t need a car here. I will pay the cancellation fee on the platform.”

Even so, the driver still grumbled discontentedly: “If you don’t take a taxi, say it early…”

Lu Fangchi understood the driver’s attitude and could only apologize again: “I’m really sorry.” Then he hung up the phone.

Lu Fangchi’s patience was exhausted, and he no longer talked to Zhou Zheng. He walked to the front door and entered the password, “ding” the door opened.

Zhou Zheng didn’t pretend to be dead this time and followed behind to go in together. Unexpectedly, before he could step in half a foot, he bumped into a wall.

Lu Fangchi quickly closed the door, and Zhou Zheng was rejected outside the door.

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, Zhou Zheng’s face was full of disappointment. This time he didn’t keep playing with the doorbell to harass people. He just turned around and sat at the door, leaning against the door, and his figure looked very lonely. The patient’s clothes and the feet wearing sandals were really pitiful.

“Really heartless for a man.” Zhou Zheng murmured.

As soon as the words fell, the door “ding” opened again.

Zhou Zheng looked back and saw no one, only a hand retracting from the doorknob. He immediately got up and quickly flashed in, for fear of being rejected outside the door again.

As soon as he entered the hall, he met Lu Fangchi’s face looking down. The eyes under the high and straight eyebrows were indifferent, there was a small black mole at the tip of the nose, and the light red petal lips were lightly pursed. The expression was indifferent, and it seemed that he was not very welcoming to himself.

He said: “There are no extra slippers, you just make do with bare feet.” After speaking, he turned around and went to the living room to pour water.

Zhou Zheng felt good. Lu Fangchi was not welcoming him, to be precise, he was not welcoming anyone.

The relationship between adults is to stop at the right time. Lu Fangchi has a very strong sense of territory. He really doesn’t like, even hates other people stepping into his territory except himself.

Lu Fangchi took a sip of cool water, and the irritation caused by the intrusion of strangers was slightly calmer. Then he turned around and said to Zhou Zheng, who was standing beside the sofa with a nervous expression: “The bathroom is in my room, you go to take a bath first, and I will put the clothes outside the door later.” He pointed to the direction of his room with his finger.

“Sleep on the sofa tonight.” Lu Fangchi pointed to the sofa again and reminded, “I have a light sleep, and it is hard to fall asleep again in a short time after waking up, so please keep quiet.”

Zhou Zheng nodded in agreement very cooperatively.

“There is one more thing, you leave tomorrow after you wake up.” Lu Fangchi issued an order to leave.

Zhou Zheng was not willing to hear this, and he was just preparing to speak back, but Lu Fangchi’s expression was not to be questioned, with a look of “if you dare to say no, I will drive you out now.”

There is no way, the words that Zhou Zheng wanted to say were swallowed back.

After standing outside in sandals for half a day, the dust on the exposed foot soles was unbearable, and Zhou Zheng followed Lu Fangchi towards the bathroom.

While Zhou Zheng was taking a bath, Lu Fangchi found him a new bathrobe and threw it at the door.

He also went to the storage room to get a quilt, frowned and hesitated for a moment, and then put it on the sofa.

Just back to the room, he heard Zhou Zheng’s muffled voice from the bathroom: “Can you come in and help me? I’m not very convenient.”

Lu Fangchi turned a deaf ear.

After waiting for a response for a long time, Zhou Zheng asked again: “Is it okay?”

He was very polite, but Lu Fangchi frowned.

Fortunately, he didn’t ask for the third time, and the bathroom was filled with the sound of dripping water.

After a while, the bathroom door opened a crack, and Zhou Zheng stretched out his arm to take away the clothes in front of the door.

In a short while, the bathroom door opened, and a burst of steam carrying the fresh scent of shower gel wafted out.

Lu Fangchi looked at his phone without lifting his head and drove people away: “Get out after washing, I’m going to wash.”

There was no sound of going out for a long time, and Lu Fangchi was a little puzzled and looked up, but was confronted with a face that was a little red, not knowing whether it was hot from taking a bath or not.

“Is there anything else?” The implied meaning is why haven’t you left yet.

Zhou Zheng was a little embarrassed to scratch his nose, and said: “Underwear, didn’t you give me any?”

Lu Fangchi paused for a moment, and then replied: “There are no new ones.”

“Old ones are okay too.” Zhou Zheng said.

You can’t, I can’t, Lu Fangchi began to make up stories: “There are no old ones either.”

Zhou Zheng obviously didn’t believe it, but he was very aware of living under someone else’s roof, and just cautiously expressed his trouble: “A little, it’s chafing.”

Lu Fangchi’s eyelids twitched, this sentence couldn’t be answered.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, even rigid, and the two were speechless for a moment.

Finally, it was Zhou Zheng who broke the awkward atmosphere first: “Good night, have a good dream.” With that, he immediately turned around, and his back had a sense of fleeing in despair.

As the door was closed, Lu Fangchi took a deep breath. After staying up for two days, he really didn’t have the energy to think about Zhou Zheng’s strangeness today. After washing, he lay on the bed as soon as he closed his eyes, and the soft mattress took him To meet Duke of Zhou^[1].
