Chapter 55.2
“I’m sorry for all the trouble you’re going through.” Jiang Xu said again with all sincerity, “Xiao Lan, you must protect yourself. No matter what, you are the most important thing. If Cheng Yu makes any unreasonable demands of you, just leave and don’t let yourself suffer any real losses.”
“Mhmm.”
“I’ll be good to you in the future.”
Can’t you be good to me now? Lin An Lan felt helpless. For example, leaving now!
“Okay.”
Jiang Xu looked at him, a very tender emotion flashing in his eyes as he stared at Lin An Lan without blinking.
Lin An Lan smiled awkwardly, uncomfortable with his gaze and said to him, “If it’s okay, you should go first. Aren’t you sick? It’s late and time to rest. Rest well so that you can get well sooner.”
Jiang Xu’s heart was instantly lit up with a flame of light and warmth.
He opened his mouth, “You do care about me after all.”
Lin An Lan smiled and nodded.
“I’ll leave you to sleep now then.”
“Okay.” Lin An Lan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart thinking to himself, finally, he’s leaving. It was certainly not easy!
He walked Jiang Xu to the door, opened it, and was about to tell him not to come to him for a month, but as soon as the door opened, he saw Cheng Yu, who was about to knock on the door with his hands up.
Lin An Lan: !!!
Lin An Lan:…
Lin An Lan: Somehow, I feel like I’ve been caught in the act.
“Don’t come looking for me for a month.” He turned his head to Jiang Xu and decided to say this first, otherwise his cooperation all night would have been in vain.
Jiang Xu also hadn’t expected Cheng Yu to be outside the door and as he looked at Cheng Yu, his gaze turned ugly, then he heard Lin An Lan suddenly say this to him.
Was this a deliberate attempt to draw the line with him so that Cheng Yu wouldn’t get the wrong idea?
Jiang Xu thought he was smart, but also thought that he actually didn’t have to do that.
Lin An Lan was such a proud person. He’d had so many girls like him since he was a kid, but had never given in, always turning them down when he heard their confessions.
He had no desire for love and no one had taught him about love during his formative years, hence he was in no hurry to fall in love, nor did he feel he needed to fall in love.
He had always said he liked what he liked, but in all these years, he had never taken the initiative to like anything.
Those who approached him weren’t necessarily able to get close to him, but those who didn’t take the initiative to approach him, certainly had no way of doing so.
He was the kind of person who was always at a distance from everyone, who was also very gentle, but whose personality was so distant that you would feel you couldn’t get close to him.
So he was never hypocritical and he would never let himself suffer.
Jiang Xu knew that he was special, that only he was special, that only he was allowed to enter Lin An Lan’s world, and that Lin An Lan would only hang on to him.
But now, Lin An Lan is bowing his head and telling lies that weren’t true to his heart, just so that Cheng Yu wouldn’t suspect them.
But what qualifications did Cheng Yu have?
Before, it was always him chasing after Lin An Lan’s back.
Before, he would leap for joy whenever Lin An Lan said something to him.
It was obvious that he was the one who was chasing, that he liked Lin An Lan and wanted to get closer to him, not that Lin An Lan liked him, so why did he need Lin An Lan to take care of his emotions now?
Jiang Xu found that both he and Lin An Lan seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.
He had asked Lin An Lan to approach Cheng Yu with an agenda, and both he and Lin An Lan knew that it wasn’t pure-minded, that was why they were worried about angering Cheng Yu, that was why Lin An Lan was afraid to see him and didn’t dare show his concern for him.
But if they took away this agenda, in the truest sense of the word, Lin An Lan should be the one to lead this love affair.
He should see him whenever he wanted to see him and care for him whenever he wanted to care for him. What right did Cheng Yu have to be angry? Why, would he break up with Lin An Lan?
He simply wouldn’t dare!
So, there was no need for them to avoid suspicion!
The more they avoided suspicion, the more it seemed that there was something wrong between them, as if there was some ulterior motive.
Only if they don’t act guiltily, and if they were openly and honestly friends, would Cheng Yu not be able to find out what was going on, and would they be able to achieve his original goal.
And then, Lin An Lan wouldn’t have to be this wronged and could continue to do everything proudly in front of Cheng Yu like he did before.
“I won’t.” Jiang Xu refused, glaring at Cheng Yu.
Lin An Lan: ????
Lin An Lan was shocked. Big brother, what madness are you going on about again?
“Jiang Xu, I’ve just made it very clear, I don’t think we need to see each other anymore.” Lin An Lan said again, hoping he was still in his right mind and would adjust to the scene properly.
But Jiang Xu was already lost in his own thoughts. He tilted his head, glared at Cheng Yu and said calmly, “Xiao Lan, do you not want to meet me so much because of you or because of Cheng Yu?”
“Because of me.” Lin An Lan hurriedly said, “It is my own idea, it has nothing to do with Cheng Yu.”
“Is that so?” Jiang raised his eyebrows at Cheng Yu, lifted his chin and asked him, “Has it really got nothing to do with you?”
Lin An Lan:…
Lin An Lan could see that Jiang Xu wasn’t about to leave for a while.
So he could only pull Cheng Yu into the room and close the door, otherwise, if the door was left open for others to see the three of them arguing at the doorway, there would be another hot search tomorrow.

I’ve literally missed a chapter …. Is the amnesia fake? What’s with the deceit now?
No, you will understand in the coming chapters.
Why he lost his memories? I can’t understand. Was it a car accident?
