Chapter 355 Why did you lie to me?
The car drove steadily on the way home.

In the co-pilot seat, Nanzhi turned her head quietly and looked at Lu Shixu.

In the dim carriage, the outline of his profile was clear, like a rugged reef vaguely visible in the sea.

The light and shadows reflected by the street lamps on both sides of the road at night flowed across his face, covering up his emotions and making him look indescribably mysterious.

With just one glance, Nanzhi knew——

Lu Shixu was very unhappy.

It's not that kind of little emotion of jealousy or envy.

Rather, it was something that really touched his nerves, so that he was in an extremely depressed state.

Nanzhi immediately thought of the mysterious phone call just now.

Lu Shixu clearly looked very bad when he received the call, but he turned around and told her that everything was fine, then got in the car as if nothing had happened and sent them home.

So what was said on that phone call?
Nanzhi thought quietly without saying a word the whole time.

Fu Chaonan in the back seat had already fallen into a light sleep, and no one noticed anything unusual.

Finally, maintaining this silence, the car arrived at the door of the house.

Fu Chao woke up immediately, yawned, and prepared to carry Nan Yi out of the car.

When I turned around, I found that Nanzhi hadn't moved:
"What about you?"

Nanzhi smiled:

"Lu Shixu and I have something to talk about. I'll be in right away."

Fu Chao: ...

Haha, you thought he didn’t know, right?
You young lovers who are in the passionate love stage are so sticky and reluctant to separate!

And you said, "I'll be right in."... You're awesome if you can get home within an hour!
Fu Chao hesitated several times before finally sighing:
"Remember to go home early."

He didn't accept Lu Shixu, but was compromising with his own sister!

When getting off the car, Fu Chao did not forget to give Lu Shixu a warning look.

Lu Shixu's response was to say goodbye politely.

He looked as if nothing had happened.

As expected, Fu Chao did not find any problem and repeatedly reminded Nanzhi to be careful.

As for what to be careful of... of course it's the ambitious Lu Shixu!

Finally, before Nan Yi whimpered as if about to wake up, Fu Chao hurriedly carried the child into the house.

In a blink of an eye, only Lu Shixu and Nanzhi were left in the car.

Silent silence enveloped the car, with only the dim light of the street lamps.

Lu Shixu pursed his lips and held the steering wheel tightly.

He has been in this posture since he parked the car and it has not changed.

Nanzhi glanced at it calmly:
"You say it."

Lu Shixu was startled:
"what?"

Nanzhi smiled and met his gaze:

"Don't you have something to tell me?"

Seeing her smiling so nonchalantly, Lu Shixu felt as if he had hit an iron wall head-on. He instantly felt dizzy and stammered.

"me……"

He had a lot of confusion.

Did we date five years ago?

Why did you pretend you didn't know me when you first met me?

Why did we break up? Who brought it up?

After all these years... do you still remember me? Do you love me?

...The question that was about to burst out of his throat was forcibly suppressed by Lu Shixu.

So that his voice sounded muffled:
"I asked you 'did we know each other before' and your answer was no, so is your answer the same now?"

Lu Shixu chose to start this topic in the calmest tone possible.

But how smart and sharp is Nanzhi?
She reacted immediately:
"You knew already."

When some overlooked details are linked together, the truth of the phone call just now easily comes to light——

In fact, Nanzhi had already wondered why Lu Shixu had never looked for her during these years when he had lost his memory?
With his personality, if he doesn't understand his life well enough, he would dig deep into the ground to find out what memories he lost in order to ensure that he has 100% control over himself.

So before, Nanzhi took it for granted that Lu Shixu did it on purpose. Even though he knew that he had a girlfriend, he didn't think it was important and didn't care.

Later, the more she interacted with Lu Shixu, she slowly realized that this was not the case, but she still couldn't figure out the reason behind it.

It was not until Nanzhi received a call from the old man of the Lu family that she suddenly realized what was going on.

I'm afraid it's not that Lu Shixu doesn't want to remember, but someone doesn't want him to remember.

Just tonight, Fu Chao told her that there was an internal fight in the Lu family, and Mr. Lu had completely lost power. Lu Shixu had truly taken control of the Lu family...

Then the answer is obvious.

Without power to rely on, Mr. Lu can no longer hide what he wants to conceal.

So now, Lu Shixu knows everything.

Sometimes Nanzhi feels that fate is playing tricks on her.

She had originally planned to talk to Lu Shixu alone after returning home tonight and tell him their past story.

As it happened, Lu Shixu learned the news first, less than an hour later.

Is this fate?
Nanzhi was extremely calm and composed at this moment. She observed the details of the landing sequence and asked:
"What are you thinking now?"

Lu Shixu raised his eyes, which quickly became bloodshot, in disbelief:
"Are you...asking me now?"

Shouldn't I feel guilty for hiding it from him?

Nanzhi understood the meaning in his eyes.

She spread her hands helplessly:

"To be honest, I don't feel guilty. Because we had broken up before, and you happened to be in a car accident. I think it was God's arrangement, so there's nothing to say..."

When Lu Shixu heard the word "break up", he felt it was harsh and unpleasant to the ear, so he quickly interrupted her:
"What about when we started dating again? You never thought of telling me. If I don't ask you this time, will you choose not to tell me?"

Every word and sentence seems to be a question, but in fact, when you open it, you can see that it is full of sadness and grievance.

Nanzhi said she was innocent:

"Of course not. I didn't say it because I didn't find the right time. You know, I encountered a lot of things when we just got together, so how could I just imagine these past events? Remember, before I got on the bus, I said I wanted to tell you something so that you wouldn't regret saying those words after listening to it..."

Lu Shixu's pupils trembled:
"So that's what you want to talk about?"

"Of course. I didn't intend to hide it from you."

I thought about it before, but now I just don’t think about it.

Nanzhi felt very calm.

And Lu Shixu only needs this answer, that's enough.

No matter what Nanzhi said.

As long as she said it, he would believe it.

Without any conditions.

Suddenly, Lu Shixu felt something was wrong:
...Wait! Did he just curse Nanzhi's ex-boyfriend to be reduced to ashes?
Could it be that the person he envied, cursed, and felt resentful about was himself?
Lu Shixu's eyes couldn't help but become blank.

Nanzhi pushed him gently:
"You...ah!"

Lu Shixu suddenly turned around and hugged her!

"what happened?"

Nanzhi can’t breathe!
Lu Shixu buried his head in the neck of the southern branch:

"No. I'm just... so happy!"
