Chapter 609 - OLD DRINKING BUDDY (1/2)
Hu Lei poured the premium tequila into the shot glasses with finesse. She looked at Shun, who was looking at the liquor apprehensively. She chuckled as she picked the salt shaker. Her smile was a little eerie.
Shun realised that what his family had warned him about was happening. He was under peer pressure, and he was unable to say no because he was afraid. This was the moment when he was supposed to call his Eldest Brother.
He felt a little incredulous, but he quickly shook his head.
He needed to focus on this moment instead of thinking about superfluous things like the past. He broke free from his thoughts and realised something. The future Shun was living a good life. He had a wild best friend who had destroyed a man twice her size.
Moreover, he had a great boyfriend. He was not acknowledging Wang Che as his boyfriend per se, but as far as non-boyfriends go, Wang Che was a total catch. He was appealing to the eyes, and so far, he was considerate and nice to him.
Perhaps, this was the life he would have lived if he dared to resist his family's plans for his life. Wait, didn't this mean that he had succeeded? After all, this was his life, even though he had forgotten about it.
His lips stretched into a smile.
”Focus!” Hu Lei shouted. ”Lick your wrist.”
Shun licked his wrist even though he thought that everything that was happening was a little surreal. Hu Lei sprinkled salt on his wrist and handed him a lemon wedge.
”Remember, salt, tequila, lime. Well, in our sad case, it is lemon.” Hu Lei said. ”Has it all sunk in?”
”It is three words. I think I will be fine.” Shun retorted.
”There is the sass.” Hu Lei picked her shot glass and lifted it. ”To forgotten memories.”
Shun, who had also lifted his glass, looked at the small woman flatly. Was she really his best friend or a dangerous enemy?
”What?” Hu Lei asked when she noticed the look.
”You do realise how cruel it is to say such words to an amnesiac, right?” Shun asked.
”Fine! You can choose the toast.” Hu Lei said with a huffy face.
”Alright.” Shun smiled. ”To memories.”
”How is that any different from what I just said?” Hu Lei asked.
Shun refused to back down. ”Yours was about forgetting stuff. Mine is about all the memories. Why do I get the feeling you do not want me to remember?”
”How could that be?” Hu Lei pouted. ”We can drink to your stupid toast.”
The two people looked at each other before bursting out laughing. There was no reason to laugh, but they could not stop themselves.
”How about, to life?” Hu Lei asked.
”We can do that.” Shun agreed.
”To life!” The two of them shouted and clinked their shot glasses.
