Because Xue Ling’s filming passed by very quickly, he soon returned home from the set.
Shen Yue mentioned that there was a new script for him to look at, but it might take another couple of days before it came out. He told him to get some rest, so Xue Ling naturally packed his things and went home. But unexpectedly at the door to his home, he ran into Su Xuanyan whose head was lowered, deep in thought.

Xue Ling stopped his steps as he looked at the sign on the door. He hadn’t come to the wrong place… This was his home, right? Why would Su Xuanyan be here, in this kind of state? Had he known that he would be coming back and had waited here on purpose?
Xue Ling pulled his suitcase forward and came two steps closer. Su Xuanyan lifted his head and looked towards him, his gaze enigmatic.
Xue Ling was stunned by his complicated gaze and dared not go forward. For a moment, he even felt as though he had abandoned a big doggy, and it had now come back to look for him, standing at his door with a face full of grievance.
He turned away and coughed before awkwardly saying, “Um… What a coincidence.”
Su Xuanyan calmly said, “Not a coincidence. I specifically came here to wait for you.”
Xue Ling rather incredulously lifted his finger and pointed to himself, “Me? President Su and I aren’t involved in any way… ah…” He suddenly remembered that he had accepted his alcohol and hurriedly went over to open the door. “If you’re here for the wine, I’ll just go and bring it out for you now.”
Su Xuanyan watched his movements, but made no move to stop him. He merely curved his lips slightly and showed a rare trace of a smile. “Are you so anxious to distance yourself from me? You were quite fearless at the bar that day.”

Xue Ling’s movements stalled, then he rolled his eyes at him and opened the door, pulling his luggage into the house. Su Xuanyan must know his password from last time, and he was pretty amazing for still waiting for him by the elevator. Xue Ling did not have the habit of making his big boss discuss things by the door, so he invited him in and spoke casually, “It wasn’t fearless. After all, you are my superior, and it won’t sound pleasant if something happens and gets leaked out. I remember that President Su did not involve himself in Tianxuan’s matters. How come you’re suddenly so interested in coming to a little newcomer like me and waiting at the door?”
Although it was phrased as a question, both the words and the intention behind it were both filled with disdain for Su Xuanyan.
Su Xuanyan didn’t quite know whether to laugh or cry. Although he was unable to recall much, this person was indeed as proud as he remembered, and just as difficult to talk to. He hadn’t left a good impression on him, and it was no wonder he was being treated like this. “Our relationship is not as simple as the one between the boss and employee of a company.”
Xue Ling was just about to bring the alcohol out for him. He hesitated when he heard these words, and frowned as he said, “Other than meeting each other in the bar that day, President Su and I have never been involved before.”
“No.” Su Xuanyan laughed a little mysteriously. “There are many, many more bonds between us than you realize.”
Xue Ling didn’t know what he intended to do by creating a relationship with him here, but when he saw Su Xuanyan’s bland smile and expression as he looked at him, he always felt that he was in the weaker position. “I think President Su’s thoughts have gone somewhat off-track. I don’t want to establish a relationship with you. Wearing the same clothes as you that day was an accident, and I don’t plan to develop any other relationship with you. I can do very well with my own abilities.”
Su Xuanyan spoke helplessly, “I really don’t plan to be your keeper either.”
“Then why are you speaking so many ambiguous words?” Xue Ling couldn’t figure it out. Hadn’t they just worn the same thing? Why did he have to insist that they had a relationship?

“If my words sound ambiguous, then your words were much more ambiguous than mine.”
“What does President Su mean?” Xue Ling’s expression was now thoroughly cold. He did not like to have chaotic, messy relationships in the entertainment circle. He had originally thought that Su Liunian was not bad, but unexpectedly, his elder brother was this kind of person.
Su Xuanyan no longer spoke any more nonsense. He simply beckoned, and gave him a smile.
Xue Ling didn’t know why, but a good portion of the hostility he felt in his heart disappeared when he saw this smile. When he discovered that his attitude was softening, Xue Ling was shocked, and looked towards Su Xuanyan rather uncertainly, as though afraid that Su Xuanyan would eat him.
Su Xuanyan could only soften his voice and suggest gently, “Come over. We’ll watch something together.”
Xue Ling was not a hesitant person. He sneered, dissatisfied with how mysterious Su Xuanyan was acting. He was still cautious as he went over to his side step by step, and then watched as Su Xuanyan opened up a digital screen, displaying the events from the night he was drunk.

Xue Ling stared open-mouthed at the scene of him splaying himself on Su Xuanyan’s body, and saying some confusing things as he demanded that he bring him home.
Originally, he had planned to drive Su Xuanyan out of his home after figuring out what kind of weirdness he was trying to do, but after watching the entire video, the flush that had started on Xue Ling’s face had already spread to his neck. He was at a loss, but when Su Xuanyan turned off the screen, he took the initiative and preempted him, “It was you who knocked me out that day! The back of my neck hurt for days! And you still dare to show me this!”
Su Xuanyan was pointed at, and shrugged rather helplessly. “That’s my fault?”
Xue Ling lowered his hand, nodded, and offered generously, “I’ll forgive you. Now take your alcohol and go away.”
“The alcohol is a gift for you. Even if you can’t drink it, there’s no reason to give it back.”
His words stabbed straight at Xue Ling’s sore spot, and the gaze that he used to look at Su Xuanyan became even more unhappy. “What on earth are you trying to do?”
“It’s very simple.” Su Xuanyan pointed to the video. In order to prevent any accidents, he had started the recording function of his nano-computer as soon as Xue Ling started to hang on him. This was one of the great accomplishments of technology; regardless of whether it was Xue Ling’s facial expressions or the tone of his voice, it was all very clear. During this period of time, Su Xuanyan had watched this recording countless times, and some sporadic fragments of memories had appeared in his mind. Only, it was not enough. If he didn’t come into contact with this person personally, he would never know how important the memories that he had lost were.

He very much disliked it when things were out of his control. “Based on your reaction to me when drunk, I inferred that we should know each other, and that the relationship between us is not simple. But neither you nor I seem to have any recollection of this.”
Xue Ling pursed his lips. Although he didn’t appear to believe it on the surface, he was actually inclined to agree with Su Xuanyan’s speculations. Ever since he woke up and discovered that there was a system inside his brain, he had felt that he had lost something, and there was something wrong with him. But no matter how hard he tried to recall it, he could not come up with anything, nor could he figure out what it was that used to exist by his side.
Su Xuanyan stood up and reached out to shake his hand. “Perhaps you’re able to open your mouth and deny having any relationship with me, but that does not prevent from remembering some things. In fact, I already have some vague memories, but the amount of information contained in the memories is too large, and I haven’t been able to sort them out clearly and figure out what these memories are all about.”
Xue Ling muttered, “How could there be so many memories in just a year’s time? Unless you’re talking about a previous life.”
Su Xuanyan squeezed his hand tightly and suddenly laughed, saying, “That’s also possible.” He looked at Xue Ling’s face, and his gaze was full of tender attachment, “Perhaps they are from many lifetimes of entanglement. Otherwise, how could there be so, so many memories? In the fragments that I can remember, they are all full of you.”
