Shen You looked like someone with an explosive personality, but he was really as pure as a blank sheet of paper when it came to relationships and love; he basically would never be able to win against those who were much more devious and scheming. Tang Yi Shan knew his personality well so he only replied with a succinct message:
[ Inside the candy is a bomb. Be careful of it exploding you to death ]
Gu Lai’s driving was very stable and safe, but it did not mean that he was very slow. So, not long after, they reached their destination. Gu Lai stopped the car by the entrance of the residential area and then unfastened his seatbelt, getting out of the car. He went around the side to open the door for Shen You and quietly reminded him,
“You’re home now.”
Shen You had never been treated like this before and now he’s experiencing it with his ex. He felt that he himself was such a joke and with half of his face hidden in the shadows, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, his expression in some mix of mockery and disdain.
Shen You got out of the car and closed the door. Perfunctory and without much sincerity, he said,
“Thanks.”
“No problem.”
When Gu Lai smiled, his pair of peach blossom eyes were very beautiful and bright, and the side of his cheeks seemed to have dimples that appeared randomly, creating this feeling of innocence. With his hands behind his back, he seemed to recall something and asked very seriously,
“Right, can I know your name?”
Gu Lai thought that to be a human, you need to have at least a few friends. But he did not know he was like a badger jumping up and down a field of melons, smashing furiously onto the minefield under Shen You’s territory.
Although Shen You knew that Gu Lai had memory loss, to say that he couldn’t even remember his name was a bit like being stabbed in the heart. Shen You’s footsteps that were about to leave suddenly paused and he turned back, emotionlessly looking back at the other. After a few seconds of silence, he closed his eyes and suddenly chuckled softly.
Who knew what he was laughing at. The night was deepening, and like an overturned inkstone, it covered up the darkness in his eyes.
He looked at Gu Lai with no emotions in his eyes and lightly spit out two words,
“Shen You.”
“Shen with an S?”1
“Mhm.”
“Shen… You……”
Gu Lai quietly repeated his name once, solemnly entering this name into his memory. When he raised his head, there was a faint smile in his eyes, so light and strong like the spring breeze. Gu Lai nodded his head,
“Ok, I will remember it.”
Notes:
*1 Shen with an S- In a very very basic and simplified meaning, Chinese characters have certain categories or symbols that depict the type of character it is and Gu Lai is basically asking here which specific character Shen You’s surname is (specifically, he’s asking whether the Shen in Shen You has three dots that signify for water in that character (游 (or you may have seen 遊 – means mostly the same thing/used in the same contexts) which you can see to the very left the three dots). It’s a bit hard to explain without adding more words, so I decided to simplify it and just go with what I translated it to there.
