Ye Shuang returned home, his mind weighed down by heavy thoughts.
His brain was still dwelling on what An Shiyu and the others had said. Even now, Ye Shuang couldn't feel any sense of reality regarding the sudden appearance of his twin girlfriends, but it seemed... a lot of evidence proved their words were true.
"..." Ye Shuang once again looked at the chat logs with the designer. Through these records, he understood that the accessory was meant as a Christmas gift for her. He had even woven the hand rope part himself, which was enough to show how much thought he had put into it.
In other words, on Christmas day, not only did he accept Chen Qin's confession, but he also gave An Shiyu a token of love and got together with her.
"Did I... really do such a thing?" Ye Shuang shook his head, then took out his keys and opened the door.
"Ah, Brother, you're back." A familiar voice came from the living room. It was Tang Keke, wearing a hoodie and munching on potato chips. Perhaps hearing the noise at the door, she stood up slightly, resting her hands on the back of the sofa and looking over.
"Have you eaten?"
"Not yet, I bought some groceries." As Ye Shuang spoke, he noticed Bai Yuyou and Chen Qin walking out of the kitchen. Both girls were wearing aprons, seemingly studying something in there.
"Ye, didn't you say you weren't coming back tonight?" Chen Qin walked over briskly and asked with curiosity.
"I... did I?" Ye Shuang replied. Perhaps his strange mood made Chen Qin realize something was wrong. Even Bai Yuyou lifted her chin.
"Ye Shuang, are you unhappy?"
Chen Qin reached out and touched Ye Shuang's forehead, but didn't find anything unusual.
"Not exactly... I..." Ye Shuang didn't know how to bring up the matter regarding An Shiyu. Would it be better if he just confessed honestly?
But if he confessed about the twin girlfriends, what would Chen Qin think?
He really seemed like a terrible person.
"I... seem to have forgotten some things." However, before investigating the matter more clearly, Ye Shuang chose not to talk about it directly, opting instead to uncover the truth from the sidelines.
"Has your amnesia gotten worse?" Chen Qin's heart seemed to skip a beat as she reached out to stroke Ye Shuang's face.
"Besides Zhao Mengyao..."
"Do you still remember me?"
Hearing the trace of nervousness in Chen Qin's voice, Ye Shuang couldn't help but smile. "How could I ever forget you?"
"That's good."
"What about me?" Bai Yuyou also asked. She actually knew a bit about Ye Shuang's amnesia, considering he seemed to have lost his memories regarding Zhao Mengyao previously.
"I remember Yuyou too." Ye Shuang reached out and rubbed Bai Yuyou's head.
"Brother, what about me?" Tang Keke raised her hand, seemingly a bit afraid that Ye Shuang had forgotten her.
Her original position was by the back of the sofa. Standing up and raising her hand suddenly caused her slimes to lean forward. Losing her center of gravity, she was about to fall down. "Ouch!"
Fortunately, Bai Yuyou caught her.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, oops." Tang Keke scratched her head.
"Of course I remember Keke too," Ye Shuang said.
Chen Qin asked, "Then what did you forget? And Ye, how do you know you have amnesia?"
"I..."
Just as Ye Shuang was about to speak, Chen Qin pulled him to sit down on the sofa. Looking at the girls who resembled curious babies, Ye Shuang gave a bitter smile, his expression seemingly a bit helpless.
"Are you all that interested?"
"Yes, I need to know what exactly you forgot," Chen Qin said immediately.
Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke also nodded in agreement.
"..." Consequently, Ye Shuang had no choice but to say,
"When I went out grocery shopping today, I met a girl who said she knew me."
"Her name is An Shiyu."
An Shiyu...
Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke exchanged glances, and even Chen Qin subconsciously covered her mouth with a look of disbelief.
He actually forgot about An Shiyu?
"She claimed to be very familiar with me," Ye Shuang said, then glanced at Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke. "Is that true?"
"We are all friends with Little Yu, and Brother, you used to hang out with Little Yu a lot when you were at the academy, right?" Tang Keke said, and Bai Yuyou nodded along.
Even Chen Qin sighed. "That child, I can't believe you actually forgot her."
Seeing that the three of them were obviously very familiar with An Shiyu, Ye Shuang's expression paused, and he could only force a smile.
"I'm sorry."
"Ye, why are you apologizing? You can't be blamed for having amnesia." Chen Qin reached out and gently hugged Ye Shuang.
Perhaps wanting to comfort Ye Shuang as well, Bai Yuyou also reached out and hugged him.
An ear on one side and a pair of slimes on the other made Ye Shuang freeze for a moment.
However, Tang Keke clearly didn't want to join the commotion, so she just sat to the side with her giant weapons.
"..."
"Get some good rest first. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up." Chen Qin didn't have any solutions for the moment. In truth, she was more afraid that Ye Shuang might one day forget her too.
Ye Shuang nodded; he also felt that he needed a good rest.
Maybe all of this was just a dream.
After taking a shower, Ye Shuang lay on his bed. He looked at the chat logs on his phone and then accidentally clicked into An Shiyu's Moments. However, the visible for three days setting meant Ye Shuang couldn't see anything.
After being silent for a long while, just as Ye Shuang randomly tapped his screen intending to turn off his phone, he found a paragraph of text in the File Transfer Assistant's chat box.
The File Transfer Assistant was a frequently used window, after all, it was needed to transfer files from the phone to the computer.
Although there were many ways to transfer files, Ye Shuang preferred using this one, so it was a place he visited quite often.
"This is..."
[An Shiyu, An Shiyi, they are very important to you.]
Below that was An Shiyu's home address.
They are very important to me?
Sure enough, are they my girlfriends?
Ye Shuang muttered. Perhaps even the pre-amnesia Ye Shuang himself hadn't anticipated that a sentence he left behind in a rush would have its original meaning distorted due to An Shiyi's mischief.
Ye Shuang pinched the bridge of his nose.
Tomorrow he would go find An Shiyu to clearly understand the real situation.
The night gradually deepened. Just as Ye Shuang was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, the bedroom door on one side was quietly pushed open.
Hearing the noise, Ye Shuang looked toward the door, only to find Bai Yuyou slipping inside.
Her delicate face was clearly visible in the moonlight.
"What's wrong, why aren't you sleeping?" Seeing Bai Yuyou holding a small pillow, Ye Shuang asked.
Bai Yuyou froze for a moment, perhaps not expecting Ye Shuang to actually be awake.
"Ye Shuang isn't feeling well, so I want to sleep with you," Bai Yuyou said.
"I'm fine." Ye Shuang shook his head.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
