Chapter 86: This Will Be a Secret
“?”
“Did you carry me back last night?”
“Yes, what’s up?”
“Just…”
Fu Chengque wanted to say, “Why did you carry me back,” but the words felt a bit presumptuous and hurtful as they reached her lips, so she quickly swallowed them back and reconsidered.
“Just last night, I ended up in such a state that I needed you to carry me… Ah, I didn’t mean to blame you…”
Carefully, cautiously.
Wen Yu suddenly burst out laughing, “You don’t think I did it on purpose, do you?”
“…” Fu Chengque looked out at the sky through the window. “Of course not.”
Wen Yu wasn’t angry and explained, “We were originally going to take a taxi, okay? I dropped off Xiao Gua and the others one by one at their homes, but when we were almost there, you couldn’t hold it in, insisted on getting out of the car, and then as soon as you got out, you started throwing up, then clung to me saying you couldn’t walk.”
Seeing Fu Chengque starting to stare at him, Wen Yu set down the teacup and said seriously, “What could I do? It’s only a ten-minute walk from where we got off to your place, and there were no taxis on the road. You refused to walk by yourself, so I had no choice but to carry you.”
Some blurry fragments of memory at this point confirmed Wen Yu’s words.
After listening, Fu Chengque blushed, “Oh, I see, sorry Wen Yu… I misunderstood.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Wen Yu smirked, “You really did think about it.”
“I, I…” Unable to argue, Fu Chengque deflated, “I’m sorry!”
“Hahaha! I said it’s okay!”
Fu Chengque sat on the corner of Wen Yu’s bed, rubbing her thighs, full of words but hesitant to speak.
Wen Yu glanced at her, “Still want to ask something? Just ask.”
“Well, when you carried me… was it piggyback or fireman’s carry?”
“Was there any other option?”
“Oh dear, I, I, I… forget it, I want to ask something else.”
“You can ask.”
“When you carried me back yesterday, did I say anything… strange?”
“How strange?”
“Just… stranger than usual for me.”
“Do you really want to know? I’m afraid you can’t handle it.”
“Tell me!”
“Tsk tsk, it’s been a long time, it’s hard to remember…”
Fu Chengque’s eyes widened, “What do you mean a long time? It was just over ten hours ago!”
“That’s still a long time ago.” Wen Yu pinched his chin, looking pensive, “Hmm… really can’t remember. If there’s something to pique my interest, maybe I’ll remember in a flash!”
Glance, then another glance.
“…”
Fu Chengque immediately understood that Wen Yu was simply pretending.
Clearly, he was trying to blackmail her!
She asked in a muffled voice, “What do you want…”
“What do you have!”
“I… I have everything! Everything under the sun belongs to me!”
“Fine. I want a hill, a wife, a…”
“I won’t ask anymore.”
Wen Yu quickly changed his tone. “I want to eat your candy. The White Rabbit one.”
“How did you know I have it!”
Of course, he knew.
Last night, when he saw an extra packet of the same candy on his table, he knew it was from the Fu family. And in his previous life, on the first day of supplementary classes after the holiday, Fu Chengque had brought a packet of White Rabbit candy and distributed it to many people.
At that time, Wen Yu was very curious about how sweet that candy was.
“I guessed. Will you give it to me or not!”
“I… I plan to bring it to school tomorrow to share with you guys…”
“I want to eat it first, be the first one.”
“Okay…”
Fu Chengque walked around her own bedroom and came back with an extra bag of candy in her hand.
She took one out and handed it over.
“Promise me!”
“Of course, I will.”
Wen Yu took it and immediately unwrapped the candy, popped the white milk candy into his mouth, chewed it lightly, and the milky fragrance filled his mouth, spreading sweetness.
Fu Chengque just watched him eat.
“It’s really sweet,” Wen Yu commented, “and it sticks to your teeth.”
“Finish eating then talk.”
“Oh right.” He swallowed the last bit and said contentedly, “Actually, there’s nothing strange about it. You just started by saying you wanted to conquer the world with me, and then you recalled some past events…”
“Um… like what I said, and then what?”
“Then you started envisioning the future with me, asking me to follow you closely.”
“That’s only natural…”
“Then you said you’d wear a blue outfit when it snows heavily, and you were afraid I’d be cold so you split the scarf in half for me…”
“I actually like blue? A scarf?”
“Next, you started crying on my back, saying flesh and blood are weak, people have limits, and lifespans are limited.”
“Um…”
“At the end, you cried out that you didn’t want to be human anymore.”
“…”
The more Fu Chengque listened, the more absurd it seemed. Wasn’t Wen Yu just making up nonsense?
But she inexplicably felt like she vaguely remembered something from what he said, as if she had actually said it…
Embarrassed and speechless, her cheeks flushed red.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and asked, “Is there more…”
“No.”
“…”
That’s it, that’s it!
Those were just embarrassing moments, and she had already decided to cultivate the thickest skin in the world. Drunken nonsense was nothing! As long as she didn’t reveal the most critical system or task.
She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better.
She hesitated for a moment and said, “Wen Yu, you can’t talk about this…”
“What?”
“About you carrying me home.”
“Someone saw.”
“Who!?”
“The neighbor upstairs.”
“That’s fine, as long as it wasn’t you who said it.”
“Um… It’s really hard to keep it to myself without something to shut my mouth.”
“Why would you need to!”
“You’re so pretty and cute, carrying you home, can’t I brag a little?”
“Hehe… But no… no bragging allowed!”
“It’s really hard.”
“…”
“Really, really hard.”
“…”
“Unbelievably hard.”
“What do you want?”
“You’re being formal! We’re neighbors…”
“Spit it out! If you don’t, I’ll leave!”
“I tried your scarf yesterday, it was so warm.”
“…”
***
On the first day of the New Year afternoon, idle play.
Fu Chengque went shopping with her family in the afternoon. Mr. Wen had to work, so there were no family activities planned for the day.
Wen Yu played the piano passionately, as music could best represent emotions. It seemed that when he was in a good mood, the music sounded better.
It snowed last night.
Snow was nice; winter was really nice. It meant he could wear a scarf.
But Wen Yu’s scarf was lent out. His neighbor, who claimed that “nothing happened last night,” went out this afternoon without a scarf, so Wen Yu lent her one. They were neighbors; you had to help each other out.
It was not good to catch a cold in this wind.
However, Xiao Qingmei was really shameless, asking for a scarf like that.
Tsk tsk.
