Before this, Lu Yu had never considered this issue. After all, Gu Wan's injury was not serious, and the doctor also said that there was no problem on the CT scan, so what reason would she have for not remembering?
Seeing Lu Yu fall silent again, Cui Shang next to him became nervous.
Last night, when he had just uttered those words, Cui Shang did not feel that there was anything wrong. He took it as a joke. It was not until Lu Yu's expression became worse and his eyes grew colder without any sign of dissipating that Cui Shang realized something bad had happened. He then hurried to remedy the situation.
Of course, at first Lu Yu completely ignored him. Lu Yu relied on his own ability to get to today. He was not on the same level at all as the second-generation rich like Cui Shang, so naturally there was no need to give him any face.
It was finally Gu Wan who could not bear to see it happen. She pulled on Lu Yu's clothes before he reluctantly accepted Cui Shang's invitation with dissatisfaction.
However, tossing and turning to think about it all night until now, Cui Shang still did not quite understand why he cared so much.
"Isn't this quite good?"
Cui Shang had also seen Gu Wan a few times before. At that time, the expression on Lu Yu by her side was always indifferent, he did not seem very enthusiastic at all. When the two of them were together, it was basically the Lady Gu who took the initiative to get close, and then the Mr. Lu would occasionally return her a look or two when he had time.
This made Cui Shang always believe that the two were only superficial husband and wife, just like the vast majority of people in this circle. It was said that Gu Wan had put out almost all of her family’s wealth back then to help Lu Yu rebuild from nothing. Afterwards, Lu Yu married her according to their agreement. It was that simple.
At that time, Cui Shang had even lamented that such a great beauty like Gu Wan desired Lu Yu without asking for anything in return, yet Lu Yu's heart was not moved at all. He must have a heart of stone. But from today's perspective, it seemed that he had misunderstood something.
Lu Yu glanced at him when he heard this and felt that this person really had no memory at all.
Cui Shang felt his heart thump from Lu Yu's gaze, but in the end, he still could not restrain his curiosity and leaned in with an obsequious look on his face.
After a while, Lu Yu said, "I used to feel that it was good this way, but now that she has really become like this, I don't feel good about it anymore."
Wasn't that just twisted?
Cui Shang clicked his tongue, but this time he finally restrained himself and did not blurt out what was on his mind.
He still wanted to live, he did not want to die yet.
However, Lu Yu seemed to have already seen through what he was thinking and gave a cold laugh.
Cui Shang hurriedly turned his head to the side, looking in the direction where Gu Wan, who had not spoken all this time, was not far from the two of them.
Cui Shang also discovered another thing. Although the previous Lady Gu could not be described as very lively, when looking at Lu Yu, her face always had a smile, that kind of gentle, touching smile, brimming with tender feelings and affection, not hiding her love and friendship at all. Cui Shang dared to swear that any man who had seen such a smile would be envious that Lu Yu could easily obtain it.
But now, the smile was gone.
Cui Shang clearly remembered that since last night, Gu Wan had hardly spoken, especially when he was talking with Lu Yu, she showed no intention of joining in at all. Only when they finished speaking, or when their eyes fell on her, would she occasionally say something.
Polite, courteous, extremely discreet, perfectly impersonal. Recalling her previous smiles and gazes, Cui Shang felt a hint of pain in his heart, let alone Lu Yu who had been wholeheartedly loved by her.
Cui Shang now vaguely understood why Lu Yu had cared so much last night.
On the other side,
Seeing that the two had come to the reservoir but were not fishing and seemed to be talking, Gu Wan did not mind and had no interest in participating either. She opened Lu Yu’s fishing kit on her own.
In the fishing kit, fishing rods of various models were arranged in a row, yet they all looked shiny and new as if they had just come out of the factory. Gu Wan knew Lu Yu must not have fished much at all.
Compared to him, it seemed others were not as diligent.
Gu Wan did not actually understand much about fishing either. Just as she was about to grab whichever rod looked good to her, she accidentally caught a glimpse of pinkish white in the fishing kit.
Gu Wan subconsciously reached out her hand. Only after taking it out did she realize it was a small fishing rod, slightly longer than her forearm, standing out glaringly amongst the other black, white and gray big rods.
Gu Wan could not help but recall the huge wedding photo in the living room of the villa. She guessed it might be the one she had sneakily put there before losing her memory.
Unfortunately, the two of them had not managed to go fishing together up till her car accident induced amnesia.
Gu Wan only sighed slightly in her heart, before focusing all her attention on the reservoir in front of her eyes and the fish in it.
However, as a novice, Gu Wan was utterly ignorant about fishing. But that was okay, with the internet so advanced these days, she could just search online to find out anything she wanted to know.
When one person loses their love for another, all kinds of problems that used to seem so difficult, now no longer stump her anymore.
Sometimes it is not necessarily that this particular person is irreplaceable, most times it is merely an excuse to get close to that person.
Seeing Gu Wan clumsily using some things from the hotel to make bait, Cui Shang eagerly offered, “Use mine instead. The ingredients provided at the hotel are all standardized. The fish in the reservoir are already tired of eating them.”
“I specifically consulted fishing experts for this. I spent a lot of money to buy the formula from fishing masters. This will definitely work well.”
As he spoke, Cui Shang took out from who knows where, a large package of crushed grains of various kinds as well as some other stuff Gu Wan could not identify.
Gu Wan hesitated for a moment, then decided not to refuse.
She smiled unconsciously. Just as Cui Shang was gleefully preparing to teach Gu Wan, the novice, how to make and cast bait, from the corner of his eyes he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Yu seeming to be looking over here. Although Cui Shang could not see his expression clearly due to the sunshade above them, he still shuddered instinctively.
He almost forgot, she was someone else’s wife.
Just as Gu Wan was waiting quietly for him to continue, Cui Shang’s expression suddenly changed. His hands clutched his stomach as his entire body cried out, “Ah, my stomach hurts all of a sudden, I must’ve eaten something bad. I can’t take it, I have to hurry back to the hotel.”
“You guys go ahead and play first, I’ll be back later.”
Having said that, Cui Shang sped off in his off-roader leaving only dust behind.
Gu Wan thought his acting was really awful.
As Gu Wan turned around, she realized Lu Yu was already by her side as expected.
Gu Wan could not help laughing softly, “You told him to do that.”
Lu Yu neither affirmed nor denied it. He only said, "It seems he's not that stupid after all, occasionally he even displays some brilliance. If Master Cui knew about this, he would be very gratified."
Gu Wan laughed again. Her eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons, like the waters of an autumn pool flowing into them.
Lu Yu did not realize he had also started smiling along involuntarily.
Gu Wan thought Lu Yu was also a novice like herself so his skills probably would not be much better. She did not expect his actions to be quite standard. He found a basin, poured the mixture of bait into it, then added some water from the reservoir to soak and integrate it together.
Gu Wan felt such a crude task did not suit him at all. But before she could speak, she saw Lu Yu had already plunged his hands into the basin, kneading the bait into a ball like kneading dough. He then smoothly cast bits of it into the water before them.
After Lu Yu finished doing all this, he seemed to suddenly remember he had forgotten to bring something to clean his hands with.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go back down to wash his hands, Gu Wan had already pulled out two wet wipes.
Lu Yu reached out his hand, originally intending to take them from her, but unexpectedly, Gu Wan used the wet wipes to wipe his hands clean for him.
From his palms to fingertips, to each finger crevice, she kept her beautiful brows lowered, meticulous and thorough. Lu Yu could only feel that soft warmth.
Lu Yu’s heart skipped a beat violently.
Lu Yu opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but before any sound came out, Gu Wan had pulled him to sit down.
“It should be about time, we can start casting the fishing line out.” As she spoke, Gu Wan lightly cast out the fish hook on the little rod baited with fish feed.
Lu Yu’s chaotic heart rate gradually calmed down to steady beats again.
Lu Yu pursed his lips, and repeated the motions as well.
When Cui Shang came back again, he saw two people who didn't know when they had gotten together. Looking at the chair under his own umbrella that was clearly missing, Cui Shang couldn't help but pull at the corners of his mouth.
It wasn't until the evening when the sky had completely darkened that the three people started to pack up and get ready to go back.
Seeing the completely empty fishing net that was dredged out of the water, Cui Shang was silent. Then when he turned his head and looked towards Lu Yu's location, seeing the few struggling fish in his dredged up net, Cui Shang fell into contemplation.
As for Gu Wan, there was even less need to mention. In just that one hour, Cui Shang had seen her catch fish in quick succession thirteen times. Gu Wan's fishing rod was small, so the fish she caught were small, but they were small after all, how could one stand against the large quantity!
In the end, Gu Wan threw some small fish and fish that looked like they still had eggs back into the water. Even so, there were still more than ten catties worth of stock left in the end.
At this time, Gu Wan also saw the empty-handed Cui Shang. She hadn't expected that he wasn't even able to catch a fish in this reservoir where who knows how many fish fry had been released. For a moment, Gu Wan truly did not know what comfort she should offer.
Cui Shang completely collapsed in tears.
And Lu Yu, who was standing at the side watching this scene, couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He felt extremely annoyed, and the bit of happy mood he had built up over the entire afternoon also instantly dispersed.
"A real man shouldn't be shouting like this!"
Cui Shang: "..."
So standing there and talking without aching legs is acceptable huh. Just what exactly did he do to offend him?
While one was frowning and the other was holding in anger, Gu Wan was calculating just how she should deal with these dozen-something catties worth of various small fish.
After all, they were caught by her own hands. If they went bad, Gu Wan would truly feel some reluctance to part with them. Since it was this way, then she would eat some that night while they were still fresh. She could get the hotel to process some into small dried fish to give Qianqian a bit, leave some for Beibei, and treat the rest as snacks to eat. If there was still some left uneaten after that, she would see if her family's housekeeper and butler were interested. And if that really didn't work, she could only see if that newly acquainted German Shepherd was interested.
After counting with her fingers the names of people who would have small dried fish to eat, and realizing that a certain someone's name was missing yet that certain someone still didn't have the courage to ask her about it, Cui Shang truly could not hold it in anymore and weakly asked, "What about Mr. Lu? Don't you plan to set some aside for Mr. Lu?"
Gu Wan was startled for a moment before laughing. "The fish he caught were bigger than mine and more plentiful than mine. Why would he still need me to set some aside for him?"
For some unknown reason, Lu Yu suddenly felt an urge to break down in tears.
And at this time, Cui Shang already didn't dare to look at Lu Yu's expression.
