Ye Shuang drove to the agreed location, which was actually just an ordinary commercial plaza.
Perhaps because the twins' figures were exceptionally eye-catching, Ye Shuang saw the two girls standing not far away from a distance—both girls were wearing long sleeves and shorts, their slender thighs fair and round, paired with a pair of bubble socks. Their outfits could only be described as quite unique.
At this time, An Shiyu and Anshi Yi were holding and sipping a cup of milk tea. When they saw Ye Shuang, they waved their hands.
"Uh, hello," Ye Shuang said.
Ye Shuang's demeanor was clearly like he was facing strangers. At this moment, An Shiyu and Anshi Yi exchanged a glance and asked,
"Do you really not remember?"
"Hmm... it's not that I don't remember, it's just..." Ye Shuang fell silent for a moment, then said, "It seems like you have never appeared in my memory."
Ye Shuang's words, for some unknown reason, felt like a needle piercing the hearts of the two girls.
At this moment, An Shiyu strode forward and directly hugged Ye Shuang's arm.
The sudden touch made Ye Shuang freeze for a moment. He subconsciously tried to pull his arm out, only to find that An Shiyu was surprisingly strong.
When he came to his senses, he saw that Anshi Yi was also hugging his other arm. Compared to An Shiyu's slightly displeased look, Anshi Yi had an amused expression, a joyful smile lifting the corners of her mouth.
"Um... this isn't very good."
"It's fine. We used to hold you like this when we went shopping in the past," An Shiyu said expressionlessly.
Although she knew that Ye Shuang's amnesia was related to them, when An Shiyu heard Ye Shuang say she wasn't in his memory, her heart inexplicably felt like it was being twisted.
It was a dull ache that spread from her heart all the way to her limbs, as if even breathing brought pain.
"Yeah, yeah, we used to go shopping like this too," Anshi Yi also said.
Dating was just like this. Bai Yuyou and Chen Qin only needed to tug at each other and ultimately win Ye Shuang's love through actions and sincerity. But these two girls who tricked Ye Shuang had a lot more to consider (crossed out).
Ye Shuang looked at the two girls in front of him. Although the different soft sensations distracted him a bit, realizing that his resistance might hurt them, he decided not to say anything more.
Passersby cast glances their way, but Ye Shuang bit the bullet and took the two girls wandering around.
Playing claw machines and arcade games in some entertainment centers, Ye Shuang watched the two girls effortlessly grab plushies and score high points. Surprisingly, he wasn't shocked at all; instead, his subconscious held the thought that they were naturally capable of doing this.
"I'm thirsty. I want ice cream."
"Me too."
Hearing that the two girls wanted ice cream, Ye Shuang agreed and went over to the McDonald's dessert station, buying two cones and bringing them back.
"Aren't you having any?" An Shiyu asked when she saw there were only two.
"I'm fine," Ye Shuang shook his head.
An Shiyu took a few bites, then handed it over. "Here, take a bite."
"So pitiful. You can take a bite of mine too."
Two half-eaten cones suddenly appeared in front of him. Ye Shuang froze for a few seconds, then smiled, "You guys go ahead and eat."
"You clearly said before that you loved eating the ice cream we've eaten," Anshi Yi wiped the corner of her eye.
"Not a single tear, is that true?" Ye Shuang felt helpless. He realized that these two spoke in a very flighty manner.
Hearing this, Anshi Yi forced out a single tear.
Ye Shuang: "..."
Noticing the girls' gazes, Ye Shuang thought for a moment and finally took a bite from each.
"That's more like it." An Shiyu took it back, but looking at the ice cream, she couldn't help but zone out, her ears turning red. Unlike An Shiyu, however, Anshi Yi polished off the rest in just a few bites.
Time flew by, and soon it was evening.
Perhaps due to the New Year, some stores were still closed since employees had gone home for the holidays, though there were quite a few visitors coming to watch the Spring Festival blockbuster movies.
"Want to watch a movie?" Ye Shuang glanced at the nearby billboard.
"Let's not. There aren't any good movies lately," An Shiyu said.
"Shall we just go straight to a hotel?" Anshi Yi suggested instead.
Ye Shuang: "..."
Hearing the word hotel, Ye Shuang fell silent for a moment, even beginning to wonder if this was how he used to arrange things when he went out with these two girls before.
Anshi Yi seemed very experienced, clearly indicating that she had done it with him many times.
Thinking of this, Ye Shuang's headache worsened.
Because he had absolutely no idea how to handle the situation with the two girls in front of him, he had to change the subject first.
"Um, let's go get something to eat first. There are still quite a few good restaurants around lately."
"Eat? Sure." The two girls exchanged a glance. Having walked around, they were getting hungry, so grabbing a meal sounded like a good idea.
"Alright." Ye Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. He then found a highly-rated restaurant nearby and set off with the two girls.
Ye Shuang was driving his Maybach, and An Shiyu and Anshi Yi seemed completely in their element. After getting into the car, they opened Bai Yuyou's little stash, took out a bag of potato chips to eat, and even knew exactly what drinks were in the mini-fridge.
Ye Shuang watched all this silently in the rearview mirror, thinking to himself that these two kids were indeed very familiar with him, knowing everything about this car.
But...
Why would he forget them, when they were clearly important people?
Ye Shuang had no choice but to summon the system to check on the two girls.
[Character: An Shiyu
Troll]
[Character: Anshi Yi
Troll Fish]
There really wasn't a single piece of useful information.
Sometimes the system provided very comprehensive information, but other times it was like this, perfunctorily giving a few words that offered absolutely no help.
Of course, Ye Shuang was already quite used to this; after all, the system was unreliable most of the time.
When Ye Shuang drove them to their destination, he found a long line outside the restaurant. When they got a ticket for a four-person table, they saw there were still over a dozen tables waiting ahead of them.
Seeing this, An Shiyu casually asked, "Tsk, should we change to another place?"
"No need, waiting a bit longer is fine," Ye Shuang smiled. This way, maybe the two girls would forget about the hotel thing.
Although Ye Shuang knew he might have already done it with them, his heart was still quite resistant, because to him, his relationship with An Shiyu and the other was no different from strangers.
Going straight to a hotel with strangers he had only known for a day or two was genuinely hard for Ye Shuang to accept.
And Ye Shuang's plan for today was to chat with the two girls about the past, and then after a while, pretend something came up and leave, promising to meet another time.
