Chapter 608 - A PEACE OFFERING (1/2)

The next day, Shun found himself face to face with a small woman. She looked quite harmless because of her slight physique, but he sensed that she was not simple. Perhaps it was her golden eyes or the slight smile on her face.

He did not know who to consult for help. Wang Che was not around. He had left to deal with some important business. At least, Shun thought it was important because the evil man did not like leaving him alone.

”I heard that you forgot everything.” Hu Lei said.

”I did not forget everything. It was just the memories of the last few years or so.” Shun said with palpable nervousness.

The woman laughed a little eerily. ”That means that we can have a fresh start.”

Shun felt scared at the expression on the cute face before her. He did not know how a woman like her could make him afraid. She did not look like she should be outside without supervision. But he could not shake off the feeling.

”I am sure I will recover my memories soon enough,” Shun said.

”There is no need for that.” Hu Lei waved her hand carelessly. ”it would be better to put it all behind. There is no need to dwell on petty details such as who might have said what to their good friend. And how that might have cascaded into a terrible accident that led to amnesia.”

”What?” Shun asked. He wondered if the woman before him was implying that she was complicit in his amnesia. But he could not be sure when she talked in a roundabout way.

”What?” Hu Lei echoed with an innocent smile.

”I thought you said that you had something to do with my accident,” Shun said with wide-eyed innocence.

Hu Lei blinked. ”How could that be? We are best friends.”

”Really?” Shun asked with doubts.

”Of course!” Hu Lei exclaimed. ”In fact, I brought a peace offer… I mean, a get-well-soon gift.”

Hu Lei dug out a glass bottle with a golden liquid along with two shot glasses. She looked at Shun with glowing eyes that seemed to spell evil. His lips twitched.

”I do not drink. My brothers do not like it.” He responded automatically as he used to in college.

Hu Lei gasped dramatically. She put the bottle and the glasses on the table and slapped her cheeks in horror.

”You have really lost your memories.” She said.

Shun's lips started twitching again. What kind of person had he become? If this was his best friend, he did not know what to think about himself. She literally carried alcohol in her designer bag along with shot glasses.

Was he a wild party boy?

”I am sure that this messy house must have some limes and salt. Btw, what the hell? Is this a botched home remodel? Anyway, go cut a couple of lime slices and bring them back. We are going to rekindle our friendship.” Hu Lei said with a clap of her hands.

Shun was once again filled with doubt. What happened between them before the accident? It was clear that the woman felt some self-blame for the incident. However, Wang Che did not mention her, so it could not be the case.
