Chapter 41: You can hit on men anytime, but you only have one life

Su Qian felt a little guilty under his stare. She hurried to explain, “Um… you might not remember, but our families were in contact a long time ago.”

As she spoke, she watched Lu Yao’s reaction, her heart hammering. She had no idea if her last-minute excuse would fool him.

Lu Yao stayed silent. He only looked around at the unfamiliar environment.

“What is my name?” Lu Yao raised his eyes and asked.

Su Qian froze at the sudden question. She forced her brain to spin faster. “Your name is… Lu Yao. Yeah. Lu Yao.”

Luckily, she had asked Xia Meng Meng about her master’s name in the group before.

The moment Su Qian said it, Lu Yao’s eyes twitched almost imperceptibly.

So it was true.

This woman could contact his little disciple.

If he wanted to return to the cultivation realm, this woman was key.

“Oh.” After a while, Lu Yao nodded lightly.

Su Qian quietly let out a breath of relief and continued, “Well… since you don’t remember anything right now, don’t panic. We’ll figure it out slowly. You can stay here for now. I’ll take care of you.”

Lu Yao still didn’t speak. He only looked at Su Qian, something complicated in his eyes.

Su Qian felt uncomfortable under that gaze. She smiled awkwardly while thinking, Please don’t ever get your memories back.

“Do you think it’s appropriate for us to talk like this?”

Lu Yao glanced down at himself, wrapped up like a rice dumpling, then looked at Su Qian.

Su Qian paused. Only then did she realize how awkward the situation was.

“Um… yeah, it’s not very appropriate. I’ll go find you some clothes.” After saying that, she hurried out of the room.

Once she was outside, Su Qian felt like she could breathe properly again.

In the chat group, she asked, “I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?”

Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Good news first.”

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “?Popcorn?Hurry, hurry, tell us!”

Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “The good news is my life is safe for now. Meng Meng’s master seems to have amnesia.”

Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “That’s great! Sister Qian Qian, you have to hold steady and not let master recover his memories. I’ll think of a way to get master back to the cultivation realm.”

Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Then what’s the bad news?”

Su Qian glanced at the tightly shut door and sighed. “The bad news is the Chat Group can’t teleport living beings.”

The moment she said it, the group fell silent.

If it couldn’t teleport living beings, then didn’t that mean it couldn’t send him back to the cultivation realm?

“He’s a supervillain from the cultivation realm. If he recovers his memories, will I be in danger?” Su Qian couldn’t help worrying.

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Yeah… that’s definitely tricky.”

Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Darling Su Qian, if it really comes to it, why don’t you strike first?”

Su Qian’s eyelids twitched at that suggestion.

“Killing people is illegal. You want me to win a pair of silver handcuffs?” Su Qian replied helplessly.

Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Ah, right. I almost forgot you’re on Earth. That won’t work.”

Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “What you need to do is make sure he doesn’t recover his memories. And during this time, work on building goodwill.”

At a critical moment, Lin Yue was the reliable one.

Su Qian felt it made sense. If she built a good relationship with him before he recovered, then even if he remembered later, he probably wouldn’t send an assassin after her, right?

“Forget it. I’ll find him clothes first.” Su Qian closed the chat group.

She didn’t have anything suitable for Lu Yao to wear, so she drove to the nearest mall and picked out a few outfits.

When she returned to the room, it was empty. Only a neatly folded quilt remained.

“Huh? Where did he go?”

Su Qian’s heart tightened. She looked around and couldn’t find Lu Yao anywhere.

Then she saw him step out of the bathroom, using a towel to dry his wet long hair.

Su Qian froze for a moment, then the weight in her chest finally dropped.

Lu Yao had a bathrobe loosely wrapped around him. A few water droplets slid down his sharply defined cheek.

“Yo, you even knew to find clothes to wear. Pretty smart.” Su Qian laughed.

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow and looked at her, tone flat. “I have amnesia, not brain damage.”

Su Qian choked for a second, then gave an awkward smile. “Yeah… fair. Um, I bought you some clothes. Go try them on and see if they fit.”

She pointed at the bags to the side.

Lu Yao glanced at the bags, then at Su Qian, and nodded. Then he asked, “You’re not going out?”

Did she plan to stand here and watch him change?

Su Qian paused, then snapped back to reality. “Oh! Right, right, right – I’ll go out.”

Her face burning, she hurried out of the room and shut the door behind her.

After a while, Lu Yao walked out.

Su Qian’s eyes instantly lit up.

It was like he’d become a different person.

The fitted clothes outlined his broad shoulders and tight waist perfectly. The white shirt made him look clean and sharp. He stood tall and lean, handsome and refined, the kind of person who turned into a view just by standing there.

Su Qian stared for a few seconds before she finally snapped out of it.

She cleared her throat, trying to cover up her reaction. “Um… it fits really well. It looks especially good on you.”

Lu Yao lifted his eyes to her. There was a hint of scrutiny, but he didn’t speak.

In her mind, Su Qian opened the chat group, took a photo, and sent it in one smooth move.

Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “You didn’t say your master was this handsome!”

Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Qian Qian, I told you! Master’s looks are top-tier in the cultivation realm. Hehe – now you know I wasn’t exaggerating.”

Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Wow! With that face, Su Qian, you’re blessed!”

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Go! Hit on him! Sleep with him first, then talk! This isn’t a loss at all!”

Su Qian: “…”

Jiang Xiao Yu always said the wildest things.

Su Qian sneaked a glance at Lu Yao and saw him sitting on the sofa, watching a documentary with total focus.

For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.

She quickly looked away and replied, “Forget it. Staying alive matters more.”

Shen Meng Qi (Beast World Darling): “Darling Su Qian, you’re so timid.”

Su Qian (Modern Metropolis): “?Totally righteous?I’m not timid. I’m valuing my life. You can hit on men anytime, but you only have one life.”

Lin Yue (Ancient Household Intrigue): “Can’t argue with that. Girl Qian Qian is the rational one.”

At that moment, Lu Yao seemed to notice Su Qian’s gaze. He turned his head slightly and looked at her.

“What are you doing?” Lu Yao’s voice was low and magnetic.

This woman was standing there spacing out again.
