Lv Qingqing never expected that this was Duobao and Hujia's first meeting.
Hu Jia never expected that this was his first meeting with his brother-in-law.
Lu Duobao never expected that he actually had a brother-in-law.
And one who tricked him!
At this moment in the office, the three of them stared at each other, looking back and forth, none of them knowing how to break the silence. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Lv Qingqing was embarrassed, Hu Jia was bewildered, and Lu Duobao was angry.
He was angry that his brother-in-law had tried to hand him a club earlier.
"Um..." Hu Jia decided to break the atmosphere first. "Duobao, your sister often mentioned you to me, saying that you..."
Hu Jia thought for a moment: "What she said about you is not important, what's important is that I am your brother-in-law."
Lv Qingqing's eyebrows twitched. It would have been better if he hadn't explained.
Lu Duobao remained silent, his head lowered, as if deep in thought.
"Duobao!" Lv Qingqing called him softly. This news was indeed too sudden, and she wasn't sure if the child could accept it.
"You're the one who lives on Jintang Street, right?" Lu Duobao suddenly looked up.
Huh?
Lv Qingqing was stunned. How did this child know where Hu Jia lived?
Hu Jia, on the other hand, was thinking that his relationship with Lv Qingqing must be very close for her to have told her brother about his address.
"You were the one who suggested we move there last time, weren't you?" Lu Duobao continued, seeing that Hu Jia didn't deny it.
Move there?
Hu Jia looked bewildered. Move where?
But Lv Qingqing suddenly remembered a scene from a week or two ago.
That time, Lv Qingqing had gone to steal Hu Jia's notebook. She had asked Hu Jia to drive her home, but Hu Jia had complained that her place was too remote. He then mentioned that he had a spare room on Jintang Street and invited Lv Qingqing to move in.
Lv Qingqing had later asked Lu Duobao for his opinion, but only mentioned that a friend had a spare house. However, with Hu Jia's successive memory losses and the ongoing cases, Lv Qingqing had almost forgotten about it.
Who knew that the little brat had kept it in mind?
Hu Jia also looked at the child with curiosity. He had a round face and bright, expressive eyes. Move in? Did he and Lv Qingqing plan to get married?
Seeing that Hu Jia was about to misunderstand, Lv Qingqing hurriedly explained, "It's like this."
"Sister, is it him?" Lu Duobao interrupted Lv Qingqing before she could even start.
Uh...
"Yes, it's him!" Lv Qingqing could only nod.
After a round of explanations, Hu Jia finally understood what moving houses meant. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Hey! What was that about? Isn't this already decided? We said we'd move when we had free time. We're free these days, so let's pack up and move."
Hu Jia thought that since he had said it before, he should stand by his word, even if he didn't remember it himself.
Lv Qingqing didn't refuse this time either. Everything was for the child.
...
After parting ways that evening, Hu Jia specially tidied up his apartment on Jintang Street. The next day, the entire special operations team gathered at Hongya Gate.
"Sister-in-law! Moving there is great, it's so convenient, and the area is bustling," Li Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, it'll be closer to work and convenient for grocery shopping too," Yu Yue said with a smile to Lv Qingqing.
They didn't have much luggage, and with so many people helping, everything was done in an afternoon. It was a two-story house, not too large, with two bedrooms. There was also a curved balcony outside, from which one could see the bustling traffic below and the twinkling night sky above.
Lv Qingqing was very satisfied with it.
"I'll cook a meal for everyone tonight. You can try my cooking," she said, her mood lifting her spirits.
Naturally, no one refused Lv Qingqing's kind offer.
Some started the fire, some picked vegetables, and some smashed garlic.
Soon, the house was filled with the aroma of home-cooked food.
"Oh dear, my boiled shredded pork is missing green onions. It would be even more fragrant," Lv Qingqing said, satisfied with her own cooking.
"Green onions?" Hu Jia slapped his forehead. "I have some!"
Saying that, he got up to leave, "Wait for me, I'll be right back."
"Hey..." Lv Qingqing tried to stop him, but Hu Jia had already rushed out of the room.
"It's fine without green onions. It's too much trouble for him to go back and get them," Lv Qingqing murmured to herself with a smile.
"What trouble is that? It's just a few steps away, right across the hall," Li Yang casually replied.
Across the hall?
Lv Qingqing seemed to realize something, and she ran a few steps. Indeed, it was right across the hall!
Lv Qingqing was dumbfounded.
She had once asked Hu Jia, "You don't live there, do you?"
Hu Jia had said no.
But what was the difference between that and no?
Soon, Hu Jia returned with green onions from across the way. Lv Qingqing hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to be busy with her own work.
Hu Jia naturally began to chop the green onions.
"Um... you live right across the hall?" Lv Qingqing asked in a low voice.
"Yes, didn't you know?" Hu Jia asked.
"Hehe." Lv Qingqing was quite embarrassed. "So, we'll be seeing each other constantly from now on?"
"Is that a bad thing?" Hu Jia asked, chopping the green onions. "We'll go to work together, and come home together."
Uh...
Fine!
Lv Qingqing didn't say anything more.
The food was served, Lu Duobao came home, and everyone raised their glasses.
"Congratulations to Sister-in-law on the new home," Yu Yue shouted the loudest.
"From now on, helping Boss recall memories will be Sister-in-law's responsibility," Li Yang also seemed very happy.
"Why me? He doesn't recognize me even when he wakes up," Lv Qingqing instinctively wanted to refuse.
"You live close by," Li Yang said.
"Exactly, we live together now," Hu Jia said with a smile. "It's more convenient for you."
Oh?
Live together?
Everyone burst into laughter. Lv Qingqing couldn't help but glare at the man. Couldn't he speak properly?
...
When everyone left, Lv Qingqing said goodbye to them one by one.
"I'll pay you the rent," Lv Qingqing said to Hu Jia at the doorway.
"Rent?" Hu Jia was taken aback. "What rent? This house is ours."
"Isn't your home at..." Lv Qingqing started to say No. 8 Lóngxiàng Alley, but she stopped herself in time, as it wasn't a pleasant memory.
"This one is too. Back then, my parents bought a house for each of my brothers. We just hadn't lived here before."
One each.
"This is Ouyang Wen's?" Lv Qingqing exclaimed.
Surprise?
Unexpected?
Lv Qingqing really wanted to kick him.
What kind of situation was this?
Lv Qingqing was speechless. As she was about to close the door, she saw through the gap between Hu Jia and the door that there seemed to be many words posted on the wall.
What were they writing?
Lv Qingqing instinctively walked forward.
All along, she had been very curious about how Li Yang had managed to convince Hu Jia that he was a man with amnesia in just one morning.
"What's wrong?" Hu Jia asked, seeing Lv Qingqing walk towards him.
Lv Qingqing walked closer and closer, and finally, more and more postings entered her sight.
"Your current identity: Captain of the Special Operations Team."
"Work address: No. 28 Yiren Alley."
"About Ouyang Wen: Captain of the SWAT team, lives at..."
"..."
It was all a record of important information, densely packed, covering the entire wall.
"Do you get a bit...?" Lv Qingqing didn't know how to say it, thinking of going crazy? "when you wake up and see this every time?"
"I'm very adaptable, and besides, Li Yang comes to help me every Monday," Hu Jia said, pretending to be indifferent.
Lv Qingqing nodded. How could anyone be so adaptable? He was just putting on a brave face.
"But this is nothing much, just some changes in routine information. Look at that room," Hu Jia said, pointing to the bedroom.
Lv Qingqing suspiciously pushed open the bedroom door.
Good heavens!
Facing the door was Hu Jia's bed, and on the wall opposite the bed were nine large characters: "Fiancée, Lv Qingqing, Remember Her!"
There was also a photo frame hanging there, with her picture in it!
In the photo, Lv Qingqing was smiling like a flower, but in reality, Lv Qingqing managed a wry smile like a scar.
She wanted to escape!
She really wanted to escape!
