Rejected Beauty Practices the Villain Play-Chapter 915 - 890: Attraction

Even Zhou Buyan and the others didn’t want to talk about Fang Chuning and Xie Jue’s relationship, but everyone’s got a curious heart for gossip. It doesn’t matter if you’re male or female, everyone’s curious about gossip. They even want to know when Xie Jue and Fang Chuning started. Fang Chuning has amnesia and can’t provide any gossip. He’s more curious than this group of people, wondering how he and Xie Jue get along. Is he really afraid of Xie Jue? He’s too embarrassed to ask because it would make him seem like he cares too much. He pretends to be indifferent, but inside he’s itching with curiosity.

"Do you really have no memory at all, no hint of familiarity with us?"

Fang Chuning simply shakes his head; naturally, there’s some familiarity.

"Well, no point in asking Mr. Fang, ask Old Zhou. He’s Mr. Fang’s deputy general and grew up with him. He should know everything about Mr. Fang. You knew all along and kept secrets from us, didn’t you!"

Zhou Buyan indeed knew early on. When Fang Chuning realized their hearts were connected, only Zhou Buyan knew. He also knew Zhou Buyan would keep his secret for his sake, so he boldly confided and shared with him. Such a happy event shouldn’t be kept secret alone; he had to find someone reliable to pour it out to, and that person was Zhou Buyan. But he couldn’t say it outright, so Zhou Buyan just pretended ignorance, focused on reading sages’ words, and ignored worldly affairs.

"You know how I’ve held back all these years, kept such a big secret, afraid to share with anyone. Every time I see the General, it’s like a mouse seeing a cat, fearing he’ll ask me about Old Fang. With the General’s aura, who dares to lie in front of him? Is it easy for me? Is it easy for me? I’ve kept it for so many years, absolutely a life-and-death bond."

"Yes, yes, yes, a life-and-death bond!" Fang Chuning refills his drink, "When did it start?"

The others, "..."

Fang Chuning ultimately couldn’t resist his curiosity.

Zhou Buyan shrugs, "I’m someone who guards secrets to the grave, silent no matter who asks. Back then you said so yourself, I wouldn’t dare say."

"Times have changed, how can it be the same?"

"How is it not the same? A secret is to be guarded till the end!" Zhou Buyan teases Fang Chuning, "Getting anxious, want to know? I’m not telling you!"

Fang Chuning gets so mad he wants to hit him. Liujiang asks, "Mr. Fang, why don’t you ask the Prince?"

"He won’t say!"

Xie Jue is tight-lipped and never reveals even half a word, no matter how much Fang Chuning asks, it’s useless. He’s been roundaboutly asking during the entire journey, but Xie Jue says nothing, wanting him to remember on his own. It’s hard to remember on his own, Fang Chuning doesn’t even know what’s going on, not a single impression even if it’s one segment. The only thing he dreams of at midnight is the snowy, icy mountain.

Not a single one of these generals is reliable!

Spending years in the military together, none of them noticed a thing. It must be that they hide well, all these years not showing even a hint of intimacy in front of others. With Xie Jue’s icy face, Fang Chuning can’t even imagine what it looks like to be together. Is he just the warm face going in vain?

"The Prince would never talk about the past with you having amnesia. Looks like you’ll have to rely on us brothers." Zhou Buyan raises an eyebrow, "You and the Prince are unfamiliar. That Jade Pendant of yours, why does it look so familiar, exactly like the one the Prince’s worn for years? Don’t think changing the color will trick me,"

Zhou Buyan’s reminder makes everyone look at Fang Chuning’s waist. He’s indeed wearing a white jade concentric circle pendant. This pendant isn’t strange to them, Xie Jue has worn it for years without parting.

Fang Chuning didn’t expect Zhou Buyan, this rough man, to be so observant. He can’t help but defend himself, "It’s because this pendant matches the outfit, not wearing it deliberately."

Liujiang says, "Mr. Fang, your words aren’t convincing. You only have a few sets of clothes, mostly green or black. Rarely does he wear white ones. After losing his memory, he’s suddenly fond of dressing up? He’s dressed very sprightly today." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

They’ve been brothers with Fang Chuning for years, so they know him quite well.

These guys use two words to describe a person’s appearance: sprightly!

Zhou Buyan can’t help but ruin the moment, "You all don’t get it. Our Mr. Fang and the Prince traveled north from Yangzhou, alone and rooming together all the way. Wouldn’t you dress well to catch the Prince’s eye?"

"You saw right through me. That’s exactly what I was thinking!" Fang Chuning shrugs as if he admits it, seeing that they won’t be teasing him. If he just keeps explaining, they’d only keep pestering him. So what if he admits? They all seem quite accepting, might as well be open about it.

The others, "..."
