Forget the Past

The man’s words lingered in Fang Zhou’s mind like a spell, refusing to leave.

It wasn’t until Qin Yun returned with the man’s wife and child that he managed to push those thoughts aside.

“How did the talk go? I’m planning to take this boy to the arcade. Want to join us?”

Qin Yun smiled warmly, and it was unclear how she had managed to persuade the woman and the boy.

Both of them had a hint of anticipation in their eyes, seemingly eager to go.

Fang Zhou nodded and responded loudly, “Let’s go, we’ll go together.”

He greeted the Li couple, and after getting their approval, he and Qin Yun took the boy to the arcade.

The boy’s name was Li Yu, and he was 15 years old, just starting high school.

He should have been in school, but he had taken a long leave due to his father’s illness.

On the way, he confided in Fang Zhou, “I didn’t really want to go, but this woman kept begging me, so I had to come.”

He pointed to Qin Yun, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and whispered to Fang Zhou, his expression somewhat arrogant, but the anticipation in his eyes betrayed him.

According to his father, he had been under a lot of pressure in the past, with little opportunity to go to places like the arcade.

And boys naturally love these things, so he was full of anticipation.

Fang Zhou found it amusing and glanced at Qin Yun, clearly not believing it.

Qin Yun wasn’t the type to beg; she must have used some incentives to get him to come out and play.

But it was understandable why Qin Yun did this. After all, it was the family donating the kidney to Fang Wenjing. Building a good relationship with Li Yu now was laying the groundwork for future gratitude.

She seemed to understand Fang Zhou’s character well, knowing he would repay the Li family, so she paved the way for him, just waiting for him to step on it.

Fang Zhou looked at Qin Yun’s back, her curly hair swaying in the wind from the open window, drawing irregular lines like a feather gently tickling his heart.

Recalling the words he heard in the hospital room and the moments they had shared, Fang Zhou’s eyes gradually filled with doubt.

Qin Yun’s love for him was genuine, but so was her possessiveness.

She was willing to do a lot for him, even endure being scolded by a stranger. The information about the kidney donor might have come at a great cost to her.

Qin Yun hadn’t told Fang Zhou, but he could guess.

After all, if even a top doctor like Dr. Du and a wealthy person like Han Xi couldn’t find the information, how difficult must it have been for Qin Yun to obtain it?

For a moment, Fang Zhou’s breathing became a bit rapid, a sign of his emotional turmoil.

He had truly loved this woman before, but he had also truly hated her.

Now, all those entanglements had turned into a pool of water, filling the cracks in his heart.

A bittersweet feeling rose from his heart to his mind, turning into a seductive voice.

“Forget the past. Qin Yun has been really good to you.”

“Hasn’t she done enough to make up for her past mistakes? At least… now, your sister’s life depends on Qin Yun.”

“Erase all those grudges. Maybe you two really need a fresh start.”

Fang Zhou’s eyes gradually became hazy, his heart swaying.

A heart made of flesh can’t remain indifferent.

But another voice in his mind told him.

“Adults only filter, they don’t change. Can you trust that Qin Yun will change her crazy personality?”

“She once thought of cutting off your contact with the outside world. Won’t she think of it again?”

“Don’t forget, Qin Yun is an isolating, manipulative yandere. If you fall for her again, you might end up as her lapdog!”

The two voices intertwined, leaving Fang Zhou unsure of which to believe.

At that moment, Qin Yun, sitting in the front, seemed to sense his gaze. She turned and gave him a slight smile, like a fully bloomed red rose, beautiful and enchanting.

Her captivating eyes were filled with laughter, as if saying, ‘I Caught you staring at me?’

At that moment, the mature charm of the elegant lady reached its peak, like a grand firework blooming in the night sky, unintentionally leaving a lasting impression on many hearts.

Fang Zhou’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, unsure if it was because he was caught peeking or because he was struck by Qin Yun’s beauty.

He quickly looked away, staring at his shoes, trying to calm himself.

At the same time, he thought to himself in frustration: What’s wrong with me? I almost got enchanted by Qin Yun again.

She’s like a thorny flower, making people want to reach out and pick her, but waking up when pricked.

Time passed quickly, and in less than half an hour, the driver brought them to the largest arcade in X City.

They bypassed the first-floor claw machine area and headed straight to the second floor, a paradise for boys.

Racing games, arcade games, basketball machines, each one quickly igniting their hormones.

Fang Zhou took Li Yu from one game to another, while Qin Yun quietly watched from the side.

When Fang Zhou noticed her standing there, he wasn’t happy.

He called out to Qin Yun, “Come play with us!”

Qin Yun waved her hand, indicating they should play without her.

In fact, she rarely engaged with these things, at most playing the claw machines.

Since starting work, her opportunities to visit arcades had been even rarer, so she preferred to stand aside and watch them play.

Fang Zhou got off the jet ski and grabbed Qin Yun’s hand, pulling her over.

“There are three spots here. How about we have a race?”

“Okay!”

Li Yu looked at them expectantly, his eyes already burning with competitive spirit.

At this age, boys are most competitive, and the mention of a race made his eyes light up.

Facing their eager eyes, Qin Yun smiled and agreed.

“Alright, let’s play.”

However, she didn’t expect that one game would lead to another, and eventually, they were all playing freely.

The three of them had a great time in the arcade.

Laughter and cheers surrounded them, each person’s face adorned with genuine smiles, freely expressing their emotions.

Qin Yun felt a moment of daze, thinking to herself.

Being with the one you love truly brings happiness.

She hoped for more days like this.
