"How would you like my answer?"
Looking at the young man in front of him, Meng Youcheng calmed his long-excited emotions, thought for a while, and then said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Linshen's smile vanished instantly. The flowers in his hands froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with unease. He swallowed hard and said anxiously, "Brother Cheng... I..."
Meng Youcheng looked at him calmly. "So all of this was premeditated by you, wasn't it?"
Lu Linshen was stunned, and the words stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken.
Meng Youcheng continued, "So what should I call you?"
Lu Linshen was stunned. He said very quietly, "My real name is... Lu Linshen."
"Then what about all that before?"
Meng Youcheng calmly asked, "Is this how you pursue someone? Saying nothing, designing a game, keeping the other person in the dark, do you think I should be grateful for this? That I should be very moved and think you are very affectionate? But have you ever cared about my feelings?"
Lu Linshen looked into his eyes but didn't say anything.
"Even if all of this is just a game, I accept it. After all, it was my choice, and I can't accept being deceived. If this is how you pursue someone, I accept that too. But why did you treat me like this in the final instance?"
Meng Youcheng's eyes instantly filled with tears. "Didn't you say you loved me? Didn't you say you liked me? Why did you say I wasn't your ideal woman? In the last instance, you made me feel that sense of gain and loss, you made me forever sink into pain, you gave me a ray of light, but I can never escape it. Is this how you love someone?"
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, "Is it because... I was straight before, so you feel very... upset about it? I don't remember what happened between us. Maybe you pursued me before, and I rejected you. So this is your way of getting revenge on me, right? To make me feel the pain of unrequited love, right?"
Lu Linshen remained silent for a long time, his hands still holding the flowers, suspended in mid-air.
Meng Youcheng bowed to him. "I'm sorry... I'm very grateful for your affection, but I can't accept it, and I can't bear it. Also... thank you. If it weren't for you, my sister might not have survived. Thank you."
He turned and left as soon as he finished speaking.
Lu Linshen watched his retreating figure, then knelt on one knee. A gust of wind blew by, and the petals in his hand fell off.
……
Jiang Chi pushed Meng Youcheng's sister to the window and looked down at what was happening below.
Jiang Chi explained everything that had happened to the little girl...
The two were still immersed in joy when they saw Meng Youcheng's rejection. Lu Linshen did not defend himself, which immediately puzzled them.
Sister: "My brother seems a bit unhappy?"
Jiang Chi stared at everything that had just happened. "Why isn't your brother Lu explaining?"
Sister: "Is my brother angry?"
Jiang Chi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think your brother and your Lu brother are a good match?"
The younger sister shook her head. "What matters most is that my brother likes it."
Jiang Chi thought for a moment and then said, "There's a misunderstanding between them. Your brother definitely likes him. If the misunderstanding can't be cleared up, your brother will definitely regret it for the rest of his life."
The younger sister didn't say anything more.
"You wouldn't want your brother to regret it for the rest of his life, would you?"
The younger sister tilted her head and glanced at him. "What do you want me to do? But let me make it clear beforehand, I will absolutely not do anything to hurt my brother. If my brother really doesn't like Lu Ge, I hope you won't bother him."
Don't worry.
……
Why didn't you explain it to him clearly?
Inside a bar, the lights were flashing and colorful, and many people were dancing. Lu Linshen and Jiang Chi sat at the counter, each with a drink.
Lu Linshen rubbed his thumb against the wine glass, his gaze fixed on the yellow liquid inside. He sighed heavily. "I don't know how to explain it. He's right. I lied to him. I orchestrated such a huge scam to pursue him. If you were in my shoes, you'd probably find it hard to accept, wouldn't you?"
Seeing the other person's worried expression, Jiang Chi smiled and said, "What else can you do if you don't do this? You like him, this is just a way for you to pursue him. Many people use various methods to pursue the person they like, and it doesn't matter. Besides, you haven't done anything to hurt him."
"Looking at this matter in a broader sense, it's your way of pursuing him. Looking at it in a narrower sense, you're the boss, and he entered this quick transmigration game to save his sister. It's completely a matter of mutual consent, isn't it normal? I think Meng Youcheng... definitely didn't reject you because of this."
Lu Linshen was stunned. He glanced at him and asked, "That's...?"
"He's an adult. Even if he hasn't experienced love, he should know that using methods to pursue someone is perfectly normal. You didn't force him; it was entirely consensual..."
"So I think there must be another reason why he refused. I guess... it's because of the last instance. Your actions weren't what he said. Explain it to him clearly. You've been pursuing him for so long, don't you think it's a pity to give up like this?"
Lu Linshen thought for a moment...
Jiang Chi continued, "Just consider it as having tried. Even if you were rejected, you won't have any regrets, right?"
……
Meng Youcheng held the porridge in his hand, gently blew on it, and was just about to feed it to his younger sister...
"elder brother……"
When his younger sister suddenly spoke, Meng Youcheng trembled. Clearly, he had been lost in thought and hadn't reacted yet when he was suddenly woken up.
"What's wrong?"
The younger sister hesitated before asking, "What were you thinking about just now?"
Meng Youcheng shook his head. "It's nothing."
"Are you thinking about...Luhan?"
Meng Youcheng immediately looked up at the little girl. "You know him?"
"Of course I know him. We grew up together, and so much has happened between us. Of course I'll remember him..."
The younger sister thought for a moment and said, "I remember before, Lu Ge's parents were often not home, so he would often come to our house. Every time you helped him with his homework, he would stare at you blankly. I would even tease him and ask him if he liked you?"
"We spent our childhood together, and so many things happened. Brother... it's normal that you don't remember. You were injured before and lost your memory, so I can understand why you don't remember him. But we were really happy during that time. Brother Lu... I feel that he was definitely sincere towards you. If he wasn't sincere, he wouldn't have done so much."
Meng Youcheng lowered his head, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and said, "Drink the porridge..."
My younger sister shook her head. "I don't want to drink porridge anymore. I've been drinking it for days, and it tastes bitter and makes me feel awful. Anyway, didn't the doctor say I'm fine now and can eat like a normal person? Can I stop drinking porridge?"
Meng Youcheng put the porridge back into the bowl, thought for a moment, and finally asked, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go downstairs and buy it for you?"
The younger sister smiled. "I heard a new restaurant opened nearby, and the nurses all said the food there is delicious. Brother, can you take me there to eat?"
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, "It seems like they don't offer takeout there?"
"Take me out to eat, okay? Just think of it as getting some fresh air, alright?"
Meng Youcheng nodded, stood up, and said, "Okay."
……
The weather is pretty good today, with not a cloud in the sky.
Meng Youcheng pushed his younger sister across the road to the other side. There were many pedestrians around, talking loudly, and the street was very chaotic.
Meng Youcheng walked slowly, glancing every now and then at his excited younger sister. "You haven't been out in so long! How are you? Are you feeling alright?"
The younger sister's face was filled with joy, "No... there's actually a fruit stand here! It never existed before..."
"You've been unconscious for several months. Things have changed quite a bit here. I'll gently push you around so you can take your time to look around."
……
They walked slowly, and after about half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.
The restaurant was on a flat area with no stairs, so we were quickly pushed inside. The waiters were also very friendly and greeted us with smiles.
It's not very big inside, just a few tables and not many people, because it's rush hour now.
Upon entering, Meng Youcheng was immediately stunned.
Directly in front of them sat two familiar figures: Lu Linshen and Jiang Chi.
The moment Meng Youcheng saw them, he had an immediate urge to turn and leave, but then he thought of his sister in the wheelchair and stopped. Finally, he sighed and asked, "Where should we sit?"
The younger sister pointed to Lu Linshen's table, "Sit there, you can see outside..."
Meng Youcheng was immediately puzzled, "There are so many empty seats here, why...?!"
Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to have figured something out and stopped talking.
He changed his story, saying, "You...plotted this together?"
The younger sister thought for a moment, "Brother... talk to Brother Lu for a while, just in case there's something going on. Don't worry, I'm here, I'll keep an eye on things for you. If you don't like it, we can leave anytime, I promise I won't force you."
Meng Youcheng was in a dilemma and wanted to leave. He looked up and saw Lu Linshen looking at him expectantly.
After thinking for a long time, I finally pushed my younger sister and went over there.
