Chapter 559
"Ah...嗯." Shen Mochen cautiously replied.
He realized he had lost his memory, but the remaining memories told him someone wanted to kill him. Moreover, it seemed like an unusual force was behind it.
"How did you end up here? Are you related to that plane?" the woman asked again.
"My head hurts a bit..." Shen Mochen painfully covered his head.
"Then rest, I'll notify the higher-ups."
"Hey, no need!" Shen Mochen quickly stopped her.
"What?" The woman's look slightly changed.
"Please don't tell anyone yet," Shen Mochen requested, "I'm really confused now, let me rest first before we talk."
"...Alright."
The woman turned off the light and lay down beside Shen Mochen.
"Hmm?" Shen Mochen was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing?"
"There's only one bed, are you going to sleep on the floor?"
"Uh, lying on the bed is fine, thank you."
Shen Mochen gently inhaled the osmanthus-like fragrance from the woman, his mind spinning quickly. This woman clearly knew him, and their relationship seemed quite close.
However, from her first words, it seemed they were usually quite distant, and it had been a while since they met. She mentioned the plane earlier; did I have an accident on a plane?
How did I end up here? She said she would report to her superior, is her superior the same person as mine, or are they on the same side?
Are they the ones trying to kill me?
I don't know if I can trust this woman, but at least, she's not part of those trying to kill me, at least for now, she doesn't mean me harm. Because if she wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be alive lying here.
"What time is it now?"
"Roman time, it's two thirty in the morning, if it's Yupi, it's eight thirty in the morning."
Turns out I'm in Roman now, and this woman deliberately mentioned Yupi, which means I should have come from Yupi. Right, we are speaking the Yupi language.
"How have you been recently?" Shen Mochen continued probing.
"Not well," the woman said coldly.
"I thought... you should be doing okay."
The woman remained silent.
"It's tough for everyone, I'm not doing well either," Shen Mochen said deliberately.
"What is there to be dissatisfied with, you're a big celebrity."
"What big celebrity, just a small fry... you have no idea how troubled I am!"
"Tell me about it."
"Guess, and there's a prize if you get it right!"
"I don't want to guess, I'm going to sleep." The woman turned her back, "Tomorrow morning you should leave, will you contact them yourself, or should I help you?"
"I'll do it myself..."
This woman's vigilance is really high... no, it's just her cold personality.
She said I'll have to leave tomorrow, is this a test? Doesn't seem fake. She probably doesn't know I've lost my memory, this test has no real purpose.
At least she currently means no harm to me.
Shen Mochen thought.
"How's your work now, are you busy?" Shen Mochen tried to probe for more information.
"Just like that, I'm very tired, going to sleep." The woman's tone was weary and a bit impatient.
Shen Mochen had no choice but to wisely shut his mouth.
It's two-thirty in the morning, not a good time to chat.
The woman was probably ordered by the "higher-ups," found and brought him here. The specifics are for tomorrow.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, he wasn't sleepy now, perhaps due to tension and unease in a state of amnesia.
He repeatedly pondered over all the information the woman had revealed, making a simple summary:
His identity was unusual, possibly caught in some kind of conspiracy, and the woman meant no harm to him. She was likely an insignificant pawn, a peripheral figure in this conspiracy. She knew him, perhaps even had some goodwill, otherwise she would have reported to the higher-ups immediately upon discovering him, not wait until he woke to ask his opinion. She spoke fluent Yupi, seemingly like him.
He was a Yupi Country citizen, possibly a public figure, now in Roman. Why was he here, performance? Business trip? Visiting relatives? Tourism? Everything was unknown, but the priority now was whether this woman could be trusted, even temporarily.
Shen Mochen thought she was probably seventy percent trustworthy.
The sky was breaking, a ray of sunlight filtered through the window.
Shen Mochen opened his eyes, his head still aching. Was he indeed in a plane accident? Plane accident and just a bit of a headache?
Due to his internal vigilance, he barely slept that night. But the woman beside him slept soundly, Shen Mochen could hear her steady breathing, unchanging all night. This eased much of Shen Mochen's vigilance.
He slowly sat up, glanced at the woman next to him. She looked young, maybe around twenty. Although he caught a glimpse in a daze last night, now in daylight, she was indeed stunning.
Eyebrows as if painted, face like an autumn moon.
Yes, like an autumn night, with the cool, bright moonlight.
Moreover, her figure was exceptional, large chest, wide hips. Even lying on the bed, one could feel the energy within.
Unexpectedly able to share a bed with such a beautiful woman, and she wasn't guarded against him. Could she be a celebrity too?
Shen Mochen surveyed the surroundings, it seemed like a cheap rental room, quite cramped, probably less than ten square meters, yet filled with all the belongings. Hard to imagine such a beautiful woman living so poorly.
Shen Mochen carefully got out of bed, but the movement still woke the woman.
"Awake?" The woman propped herself up.
"嗯." Shen Mochen mumbled, "Want to use the bathroom."
"Turn left out the door, there's a public restroom."
"Haha... I'm not that urgent."
He didn't know who wanted to kill him; everyone could be a suspect, everyone had a huge suspicion. Before he understood his identity, he wanted to avoid leaving this room as much as possible.
Shen Mochen inspected the room, seemingly trying to learn more about the woman and anything related to himself.
His gaze was quickly drawn to two photographs on a small table. One was a group photo, with five girls, almost all top beauties, even the woman's beauty wasn't notably outstanding among them.
And the other was a snapshot of the woman and him. Shen Mochen glanced at a mirror, indeed it was him. In the photo, the woman slightly smiled, though stiff, her eyes bright, showing a hint of tenderness.
Shen Mochen instinctively looked at the woman at present but saw her eyes deep and weary, like an endless long night.
"What are you looking at me for?" the woman asked.
"Has anyone told you, you're beautiful, just like your name." Shen Mochen said.
"Forgotten." The woman said, "Xiao Xingshuang, this name isn't special anyway."
Silence. Shen Mochen was silent.
"I have to return to the team today, first report to the higher-ups, they'll send someone to pick you up." Xiao Xingshuang pulled out her phone, "I'm quite busy lately, can't entertain..."
"Wait a minute!" Shen Mochen quickly held Xiao Xingshuang, finally making up his mind, showing a mixture of pity and resolute expression, those broken eyes becoming more touching, "Actually, I've lost my memory, can you help me?"
He voiced it out, Shen Mochen considered for a long time, absolutely unable to find the truth alone. And currently, Xiao Xingshuang was the only person around him who was barely trustworthy.
"What did you say?" Xiao Xingshuang was stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting.
"I said, actually I've lost my memory, don't remember anything..." Shen Mochen gently shook his head, "I don't know who I am, where I come from, what has happened. I only remember someone wants to kill me, I need your help. Xiao Xingshuang, can you help me?"
Xiao Xingshuang was dumbfounded, showing an incredulous look.
"You don't remember anything?"
"嗯, my head hurts a bit, maybe I hurt my head, I really don't remember anything."
Shen Mochen sighed again, that expression evoking greater pity and concern. He was not hesitant to use charm when necessary.
"...You're my boyfriend."
After a long silence, Xiao Xingshuang took a deep breath and calmly said.
Now it was Shen Mochen's turn to be speechless, wasn't this girl taking advantage of the situation!
