“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Shi Bufan said, “Then I’m going in. If you want to go home, tell the driver your address.”
The driver had already driven the car away, so he couldn’t even find him. Zhen Yuanbai tugged on the straps of his backpack and the moment Shi Bufan left, he felt extremely uncomfortable standing in the unfamiliar yard. He had no choice but to follow Shi Bufan.
“Fanfan is back.” A woman’s voice rang from inside and Zhen Yuanbai looked up from behind Shi Bufan. She was just walking down the stairs when she saw Zhen Yuanbai, clearly stunned. Then, she smiled and said, “You even brought a friend back. Hello, I am Shi Bufan’s mother.”
Zhen Yuanbai hurriedly addressed, “Hello aunty.”
Another question popped in his mind.
Mother Shi who had gone to his house to thank him for saving Shi Bufan wasn’t the same one as today.
Shi Bufan didn’t bother with her and he tugged on Zhen Yuanbai’s hand, bringing him upstairs. Mother Shi stood downstairs and looked up, saying, “I already put warm water for you in the bath. Go and take a shower first.”
Shi Bufan said nothing.
When they went upstairs, Shi Bufan threw the backpack on the sofa and said to him, “Go wash first. Just throw your clothes into the washing machine and it will be dry in the morning.”
Zhen Yuanbai nodded and placed his backpack down, following Shi Bufan to the bathroom. He saw Shi Bufan draining the water Mother Shi had put for him and then doing the same process over. He stood up and said to him, “I’ll go find some pajamas for you.”
Zhen Yuanbai was well-behaved and moved to the side to let him out. He stared at the tap which was dripping with water and questions filled his mind.
His family liked to bathe in warm baths as well, but the bathroom wasn’t as big as this one. He used his hands to feel the temperature of the water, feeling like everything was a blur today.
The doorknob to the bathroom was suddenly twisted. Zhen Yuanbai immediately turned around and Shi Bufan said with regret after he was unable to twist the doorknob open. “I placed the clothes by the door.”
After Zhen Yuanbai was done washing, he opened the door and peeked his head out and half his shoulder. Shi Bufan was sitting by the side and playing on his phone, then he looked in Zhen Yuanbai’s direction. The latter tugged his clothes in like a little white mouse, allowing him only to see Zhen Yuanbai’s pitch-black hair.
Zhen Yuanbai who was in the bathroom was confused.
He dried his body, only to realize that Shi Bufan had prepared green dinosaur pajamas for him. Dilemma, dilemma, dilemma. In the end, he knocked on the glass door and asked, “Aren’t there any other pajamas?”
Shi Bufan had already tossed his phone to the side and was eagerly standing by the bathroom door. He heard his voice but purposefully pretended like he didn’t hear anything. When Zhen Yuanbai received no response, he could only wear the pajamas and come out.
The black hair and green-skinned little dinosaur walked out. Shi Bufan stared at his smooth and white face, feeling a tingle in his heart. “It fits you pretty well.”
Zhen Yuanbai widened his eyes, clearly very angry. But this was Shi Bufan’s territory, so he could only say, “I’m going to sleep.”
Shi Bufan immediately moved to the side and pointed at his room.
When Shi Bufan finished packing his things and walked in, Zhen Yuanbai immediately looked at him. When he noticed that Shi Bufan wasn’t wearing the same silly pajamas, he immediately glared at him. But he didn’t dare to give Shi Bufan attitude.
Zhen Yuanbai reached over and put on the dinosaur hat, laid on his side and curled into a ball, refusing to speak.
He had quite an attitude. Even Shi Bufan was frightened by this.
After Zhen Yuanbai scolded him, he fiercely added, “If you keep talking to me, you’re a puppy then.”
Shi Bufan stopped talking.
Zhen Yuanbai thought that his threat was effective, so he reached over to tug the blankets and covered his face.
The next morning, at 6:30, Zhen Yuanbai woke up two minutes earlier than the alarm. As usual, he found himself sleeping horizontal to the bed. Shi Bufan was still asleep, but his body was towards the edge of the bed. He slept diagonally and one of his long legs drooped down the bed.
Zhen Yuanbai’s alarm rang at this point and Shi Bufan was woken up by the noise. He rubbed his eyes and tugged on the blankets, he rolled over to avoid the noise. However, he ended up rolling off the bed and the sudden feeling of falling woke him up.
Dinosaur Zhen quickly switched from his horizontal position to one of wrapping himself completely in the blankets, like a burrito. He looked at the messy blankets and said to Shi Bufan, “You have a bad sleeping posture and kicked me several times in the middle of the night.”
Shi Bufan sat on the ground and pulled on the blankets, his hair messy. He was not completely awake, so he allowed him to say this to him.
Dinosaur Zhen finally won against him once and immaturely curled the corner of his lips up, while walking out of the room proudly. The clothes in the washing machine had automatically dried by itself and someone had taken it out, folded it neatly and placed it on the rack besides it.
He thought that it was probably Mother Shi’s work and he felt bashful for a short second. He grabbed his clothes and walked into the bathroom to change his clothes.
Shi Bufan finally walked out of the bedroom and he leaned his hand against the bathroom door, half squinting at Zhen Yuanbai. “By the side of the mirror and in the drawer, there’s a new toothbrush.”
Zhen Yuanbai was already prepared to chew on gum and thanked him when he heard this.
While brushing his teeth, Shi Bufan also squeezed over to join him. After they were done, Shi Bufan placed the toothbrush back and turned around to say to him, “Last night, you also kicked me at least ten times.”
Whenever he wanted to hug him.
Zhen Yuanbai pursed his lips and said, “Do you have evidence? I was the one who said you kicked me.”
“Bullsh*t.”
“...” The moment he cursed, Zhen Yuanbai remained silent.
Shi Bufan packed his things and walked back to his bedroom. Zhen Yuanbai grabbed his phone by the desk of the headboard. He was suddenly attracted by the onesies in the closet and there were: rabbits, panda, and even Pikachus. He looked unbelievably at Shi Bufan and said, “You have so many pajamas, but why aren’t you wearing them?”
“I bought this according to your height.” Shi Bufan said as if a matter of fact. “The next time you come here, you can wear it too.”
Zhen Yuanbai went out with his phone, thinking: I will never come here again.
Mother Shi had already been sitting down by the dining table downstairs. When she saw them walking down, she smiled and said, “Quickly come and eat.”
Zhen Yuanbai was about to walk there when Shi Bufan pulled him over. “Eat what? Let’s go out and eat.”
Shi Bufan didn’t care about his mother’s expression, pulling Zhen Yuanbai into the car. The driver drove them to the nearest public transportation station. Zhen Yuanbai was then tugged into the bus and the whole time, he felt like he was the chick in the eagle’s claws and had no dignity at all.
“How come we’re not eating at home?”
“You’re not even part of my family yet and you’re thinking about eating at my home?”
Shi Bufan had problems with his brain. Zhen Yuanbai explained in seriousness. “Mother had already cooked food for us and if we don’t eat, it’s disrespectful.”
Shi Bufan smiled wickedly. “What does this have to do anything? You even called my mother as your mother.”
“...” There’s really something wrong with you!
Zhen Yuanbai turned around and Shi Bufan stared at a girl who was leaning against their boyfriend’s shoulder and sleeping in front of them. He suddenly reached over and Zhen Yuanbai’s head was forcibly pressed against his shoulder. “There’s at least another half hour before we arrive. Sleep for a while.”
Zhen Yuanbai looked up and said, “I’m not tired.”
Shi Bufan pressed his head down again. “If you’re not tired, just lean against me.”
Zhen Yuanbai looked up again, murmuring, “I don’t need to.”
Shi Bufan glanced at him and said, “If not, I’ll beat you up.”
“...” Not only was there something wrong with Shi Bufan’s head, but there was also a pit, a pit as big as the Mariana Trench.
Zhen Yuanbai was forced to lean his head against his shoulder. At that moment, he felt like numerous bugs were biting him and he felt incredibly awkward.
Shi Bufan was satisfied and rummaged for his earbuds. He shoved one side of the earbuds into Zhen Yuanbai’s ears and said, “Listen to the song.”
Listen to it, my butt.
Once they got off the bus, Shi Bufan went to buy breakfast with him.
Maybe it was because he had connected with Qiu Jing and the others, catching up with everything; but ever since he lost his memory, he still acted as usual. He had the same personality and seemed to accept his loss of memory. In fact, a majority of the people in school didn’t even know he lost his memory.
But towards Mother Shi, Zhen Yuanbai could tell Shi Bufan had truthfully lost his memory. Towards his mother, he treated her like a stranger, or even less than one.
He slurped the corn porridge in the cup while Shi Bufan asked for a sweet glass of milk. As they walked, Shi Bufan suddenly peeked over and said, “Let me have a taste of yours.”
Zhen Yuanbai’s eyelashes flickered and he hastily moved it away from his reach. “I drank this before, so go back and buy another glass if you want. After all, we’re still close to the store.”
Shi Bufan was unhappy. “I just want to drink yours.”
“Then, I’ll go back and get another straw.”
Shi Bufan pulled on Zhen Yuanbai’s backpack, forcing him to come back. He said dissatisfied, “Quickly, let me try it.”
Zhen Yuanbai had no choice but to raise his glass and let him have a slurp. The tall young guy bent down and sucked on his straw, the corner of his lips curling up. Zhen Yuanbai was too embarrassed to voice his displeasure, so he shoved the straw that Shi Bufan had touched back into his mouth, with a complicated feeling in his heart.
Shi Bufan asked him, “Do you want to drink mine?”
“No.”
“Psh.” Bashful.
Shi Bufan glanced at the baked sesame seed-coated cake in his hands and said, “Let me taste that too.”
Zhen Yuanbai ripped an untouched piece off and gave it to him, only to hear him laugh. “I don’t mind your saliva. Give me.”
Zhen Yuanbai paused and then raised the baked sesame seed-coated cake, watching him look down and biting a huge piece off.
“Shi Bufan!” Qiu Jing’s voice rang in the front. He waved his hands at Shi Bufan urgently, with an anxious expression. “Here! Here!”
Shi Bufan raised his brows and turned around to say to Zhen Yuanbai. “I’m going to take a look. Head back to school first.”
“Oh.”
Zhen Yuanbai was quite ruthless. The moment Shi Bufan just left, Zhen Yuanbai immediately tossed the piece of baked sesame seed-coated cake into the garbage. After he tossed it, he heard Song Mo call his name. The two met and Song Mo said shockingly, “You’re Shi Bufan’s follower now?”
“Who’s his follower?” Zhen Yuanbai said, “I’m his benefactor.”
Song Mo could tell that he was unhappy and he murmured, “I, I saw you feeding him before...”
“Who knows.” Zhen Yuanbai was filled with anger. “I’ve become a father at such a young age and not only did my son lose his memory, he is also an idiot. He can’t even take care of himself.”
Song Mo’s face spasmed uncontrollably and he stared behind him.
Zhen Yuanbai was stunned when he heard Shi Bufan’s amused voice. “Oh, good father, what did you just say?”
