Chapter 7 Gong Yeliu's Amnesia Incident 4
Jing Fengyin and Qian Yuefang took Xing Yeliu home and made an appointment with me to meet at the Special Management Office the next morning.
After I got back, I had nightmares the whole night.
One day I dreamed that a snow-covered iceberg suddenly burst into flames, then grew legs and a mouth to chase me; the next day I dreamed that I was playing in a strawberry garden, and suddenly I was bitten by hundreds of strawberries that grew mouths...
When I woke up the next day, I felt like I had just been fished out of water.
I quickly washed and changed my clothes. I had no classes in the morning, so I left the dormitory building to meet Jing Fengyin and the others.
I walked hurriedly along the way, but when I arrived at the door of the Special Management Office, my heart beat faster and faster. I wandered around the door, not daring to step in.
what to do?
What if Xing Yeliu has lost his memory? If he hasn't lost his memory, how should I face him after committing an unforgivable mistake yesterday?
Do I really have to go in so soon? Or should I go for a walk and come back later?
I was about to back out and turned to leave, but was caught off guard by an expressionless face.
"what are you doing here?"
It’s Xingye Liu!
He also had a small cut on his lip.
Perhaps because his lips moved when he spoke, Xing Yeliu frowned, stroked his injured lips with his fingers, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling when he was injured.
"Haha, I suddenly forgot how to open the door! Good morning, Xingye Liu!"
I never dared to glance at his lips again.
"Why are you acting weird today? You look like you've done something wrong." Xing Yeliu looked down at me, scanning me from head to toe. "Yue and Yin are both in there, go in."
"Oh, yes, okay!"
When I heard that, I immediately opened the door and rushed in, then slammed the door shut.
After doing all this, I felt something was wrong, so I had to put on a stiff smile, reopen the door, and invite Xing Yeliu in who I had locked outside.
"Sorry, I forgot about you."
I smiled awkwardly.
Xing Yeliu's eyes fell on me and said, " You are really strange today."
He didn't say anything else and walked past me.
"Ryu, you're here!"
Jing Fengyin put down the information in her hand and looked at us.
"Ah! Liu, how do you feel now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
As soon as Qian Yuefang saw Xing Yeliu, she immediately jumped up from her seat.
“How does it feel? You both look weird…” As he spoke, the wound on his lip was pulled again, and he made a “hiss” sound.
"Also, how did I get home yesterday? Why don't I have any memory of it at all? I was injured here too. Did we have a fight with others yesterday?" Xing Yeliu raised his hand and gently stroked his lips, asking in confusion.
Jing Fengyin and Qian Yuefang looked at each other, then looked at me tacitly.
Xing Yeliu also looked over.
"Why are you looking at her? Could my injury have anything to do with her..."
I was a little relieved at first because I realized that Xing Yeliu had indeed lost his memory of last night, but when I heard these words, my heart suddenly rose again.
I shook my head hurriedly: "No, no, it has nothing to do with it. Haha, you accidentally had a small accident yesterday..."
"is that so?"
Xing Yeliu turned his head, and I took the opportunity to shake my head and gesture to Qian Yuefang and Jing Fengyin , asking them to keep it a secret.
After receiving my request for help, Qian Yuefang blinked mischievously, but when facing Xing Yeliu, she pretended to be very natural: "Yes, you had a small accident yesterday..."
"Then why do I have no memory of what happened last night? It's strange. When I woke up in the morning, I felt like part of my memory was missing..."
Xing Yeliu finally put aside his suspicion, and his words made Jing Fengyin look serious. Jing Fengyin had to tell him what happened last night. Of course, he kept my little accident a secret.
I quickly gave him a look of gratitude.
After Xing Yeliu understood the situation, he figured it out all of a sudden and said, "So, our masks still have the function of resisting magic, so when I take off the mask, I will lose my memory of that night like everyone else; but whether the effect of the mask has been weakened, thereby affecting the memories of members who leave the West Point Club after three years, we have no way to confirm it for the time being..."
"Your analysis is correct. Liu, I think we need to have a good talk with the principal. We need to see if the hospital knows about this matter, and whether the weakening of the mask's effect has anything to do with them...
"I lose my appetite when I think about talking to your snobbish uncle the principal." Qian Yuefang looked listless.
"Me too……"
After all, I once made a face in front of him, which made him angry and run away.
Without further ado, we quickly arrived at the principal's office of Xinggong Academy.
This time we were received by the same secretary as last time, but this time she was not slow at all and led us to the door as quickly as possible.
"The principal is waiting for you inside, please come in."
After that, she pointed to the brand new door of the office as if to avenge her previous shame, and said to Xing Yeliu and me proudly: "This is a high-grade cherry wood, three-layer solid wood structure door specially customized by the principal from abroad. You can never destroy it again!"
"Really? Then I'll try..."
Xing Yeliu raised his eyebrows and lifted his right leg. The secretary was so scared that he immediately opened the door: "I was joking, Master Xing Yeliu, please come in!"
The four of us filed in.
Xing Chengshou was sitting very straight at his desk this time, looking like he was handling official business seriously. When we came in, he didn't even raise his head and asked directly, "What's the matter?"
"Principal, we want to talk to you about the Earl's Rose Pastry Club." Jing Fengyin stopped Xing Yeliu who wanted to take a step forward and stepped forward to answer first.
Xing Chengshou finally raised his head, his eyes swept over us one by one, and said unhappily: "I told you, just stay there quietly, don't come to me if there's nothing serious."
He seemed to not want to even mention the name of Earl Rose, and seemed very taboo.
Xing Yeliu also saw this, but he chose to sing a different tune: "Behave yourself? We know that if we stay there for three years, our memories will be irreparably damaged. How can we behave ourselves?"
Xing Chengshou's hands trembled when he heard this, and the documents in his hand fell on the table, but he still didn't want to admit it: "What nonsense are you talking about? You were selected as the maintainers of that place, and you have masks to protect your bodies, how could your memory be damaged?"
"Mr. Principal, we have already investigated it clearly. You don't have to hide it anymore."
"Last week, Qian Yuefang and I visited the members of the Earl Rose Pastry Club in the past, but they had no memory of Earl Rose at all, and even their other memories were wrong and confused..."
Qian Yuefang and Jing Fengyin both stepped forward and stood beside Xing Yeliu. Although I didn't say anything, I quietly stood with them.
"Since you all know everything, why are you looking for me?"
Xing Chengshou slammed the table in anger.
"Of course I'm here to ask you for an explanation! Why did Earl Rose cause previous members to lose their memory? How to solve this problem? You should give us a clear answer!" I couldn't help but stand up and say to this hateful principal.
"You... who are you, girl? Last time you and Xing Yeliu came here to cause trouble, I didn't punish you yet! This time you're here to cause trouble with this group of people again... I can fire you at any time, do you know that?"
Xing Chengshou's gaze upon me was unusually cold.
"You can fire me, but you have to solve the West Point Club issue first."
I was not afraid of his threat and looked up at him.
"Viya, please step back."
"Principal, she is a new member of our Special Management Office and knows something about the West Point Club..."
Xing Yeliu and Jing Fengyin pulled me behind them.
"Didn't I tell you to keep the matter of that place secret? How do you guys do things?" Xing Chengshou didn't hold on to me anymore, but directed his criticism at Xing Yeliu and the other two. "Isn't it just some memory loss and confusion? That place has existed for so long, it's normal for the mask's resistance to deteriorate. Your bodies won't be actually hurt. Is it necessary to make a fuss about such a small matter and come to argue in front of me? Do you know how much investment our Xinggong will lose if you delay me for a while..."
Xing Chengshou slammed the table as he spoke, unceremoniously putting all the blame on the members of the West Pastry Club.
"A little thing? Losing the most important memory in life and forgetting your former companions, is this a little thing?"
Even someone as careless as Qian Yuefang was angry.
"Anyway... I don't think there's any problem. As a member of the Xing Palace, you need to have a spirit of dedication and awareness. When you go there, I will also give you the greatest freedom and concessions in other places. Qian, Jing, I believe that with your qualifications, just losing a little bit of memory will not have any impact on your future life. Just look at it more positively!"
Xing Chengshou slowed down his tone and deliberately spoke with the earnestness of an elder, but I found it very irritating.
Why must they sacrifice themselves? And what basis does he have to say that the memory loss of the members of the West Point Club has no impact on their lives?
This principal is too much and too shameless.
"What you mean is that no matter what problems we encounter in the West Point Club, you can't help us, right?" Xing Yeliu asked coldly.
I noticed that his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.
"You guys should handle the issues in that place internally. The most I can do is to provide you with some financial support for your future medical treatment... I'm very busy right now. If you don't have any other questions, you can leave."
Xing Chengshou made an gesture to see the guest off.
"Haha, I understand." Xing Yeliu sneered, his ice-blue eyes looked at Xing Chengshou without a trace of emotion, "Well, uncle, this is the last time I will respectfully call you uncle."
Xing Chengshou’s expression froze.
"I still remember what you said when my parents passed away in order to get me to represent my father at the board meeting and ask for your approval to take over as the principal of Xinggong. You said that you would treat me as your closest relative, and that you would make Xinggong a better place..."
Xing Yeliu had a strange smile on his face, cold and sad. Looking at him like this, I felt as if my chest was blocked by a heavy cumulonimbus cloud.
"You broke all your promises. After you became the principal, my closest relatives became abandoned children of the Xing family, and the Xinggong Academy that my father loved has now changed beyond all recognition..."
“Ryu——”
"We are here with you, Ryu..."
Qian Yuefang and Jing Fengyin both looked at Xing Yeliu sadly, and the heavy cumulonimbus cloud in my chest seemed to start raining - sad rain for Xing Yeliu.
So this is the truth behind the estrangement between Xing Yeliu and Xing Chengshou -
They were deceived and used by their only relative in the world, and then sent to the Earl's Rose Pastry Club, a cursed place that they wanted to avoid, as if abandoned.
"As you said, everything about Earl Rose has nothing to do with you! We will not come to you for any problems about Earl Rose in the future!"
Xing Yeliu raised his head proudly and stated his decision.
"Okay, Liu, let's go together."
"I don't believe that I can't solve the problem with my intelligence!"
Jing Fengyin and Qian Yuefang tacitly held Xing Yeliu's shoulders on the left and right and nodded at him.
"And me."
I quickly wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, walked up to them and smiled at them.
No matter how scary the place is, I want to stay and face it with them.
"Of course I won't forget you, little Via!"
Qian Yuefang, Jing Fengyin, and Xing Yeliu all looked at me and smiled.
"Hmph, you will just have to fend for yourselves in that cursed land!"
We walked back together without saying hello to Xing Chengshou. Seeing this, Xing Chengshou cursed us in dissatisfaction.
When I reached the door, I heard what he said, so I turned around, made a mocking face at him, and said, "Where you are is a cursed place!"
"Ah, you little girl, stop right there! What grade are you in? I'm going to punish you..."
I stuck out my tongue indifferently, waved my hand and left.
Hearing the angry roar coming from the office behind me, I felt very refreshed, as refreshing as tasting matcha ice cream on a hot day.
After spending a long time with Xing Yeliu, I have also learned to be as bold as him to confront the principal. However, a good principal deserves respect, and for a big bad guy like Xing Chengshou, I just want to roll my eyes at him.
"What did you just do?"
After we went out, the three of them asked me.
"Nothing. I just made a face at him and said something not very polite."
I touched my head embarrassedly.
"here you go!"
"You are increasingly showing the excellent qualities of our Earl Rose..."
"Hey, the two of you should stop leading Wei Ya astray..."
