The awkwardness between Wang Che and Shun continued through the next week. Wang Che occupied himself with work and checking up on his guards who were suffering under the hand of a man who claid to be a housekeeper.
Not only did this man who called himself Housekeeper Li force his people through hellish exercise routines, but he also criticised them endlessly. He would compare them with Young Mistress Zhong, who could do the sa exercise in a fraction of the ti.
The guards did not dare to complain because they had seen Zev's condition and the video of him flying out.
In addition, Housekeeper Li made them go through etiquette lessons. Like a super an headmistress, he carried a wooden ruler to punish his students. And he could find fault in everything, including tone of speech, improper use of honorifics and even posture.
Truthfully speaking, Zhong Feng told him that the guards had acted against Hu Lei. Therefore, Housekeeper Li was not only following orders. He was delivering punishnt. To him, Hu Lei was the goddess who had brought life to everyone who worked for Zhong Feng.
Shun did not know about the strange activities happening in another part of the villa. He was conducting the house remodel with an almost maniacal concentration. And he refused help from anyone, including Wang Che.
On the following Friday, the two n left the villa. Shun was not as excited as Wang Che thought he would be about getting out of the house and going into the city. The calm and almost indifferent attitude made him worried.
He cursed himself again for his lack of self-control on that day. If he had not acted like a beast, things would have continued as they were. At least, Shun used to talk to him, even though it was mostly mischievously and childishly.
Now, he was just too calm. How could Wang Che not be scared?
"We do not have to have dinner with my friend if you do not want to." Wang Che said after a while.
Shun did not look away from the passing scenery through the window. "It is fine. I should not stay in the house all the ti. I might as well see the city. It might trigger sothing in my mories."
Wang Che hands tightened around the steering wheel. "Shun, are you unhappy with ?"
Shun turned his head from the window and looked at Wang Che for the first ti since they left the villa. Wang Che glanced at him and saw the fire in those familiar eyes. It was the first ti Shun had shown real emotions since that night.
"Am I with you?" Shun asked sharply.
Wang Che looked back to the road. "What do you an?"
Shun scoffed. "This is what I am talking about. Do you even truly care whether I am happy or unhappy? You claim that I agreed to be your boyfriend. The more ti I spend with you, the more I doubt this. You probably just made it all up to fool and my family."
Wang Che's lips pursed in anger as he drove through the gate of the restaurant. "I did not need to tell a lie. Even without that information, I still had the right to make the decisions about your dical care. Regardless of what you think, the truth will not change. You agreed to be with ."
Shun laughed harshly. "Great! Then, I can only bla myself for my poor judgent."
Wang Che was frustrated. "What do you want from ?"
"I might not have my mories, but at least, I am not an idiot and a complete ass. What I want is to be with soone who wants to be with ." Shun said. "I am tired of being in a house with soone who looks like they would rather be anywhere else."
"You know that is not true, Shun." Wang Che said.
"Do I know that?" Shun was blazing with anger as he said it sarcastically.
Wang Che pulled into the parking lot and parked the car properly before he looked at Shun. "I have made an effort to spend ti with you. But you refused to accept my help."
Shun looked at Wang Che as if he was looking at an idiot. "That is my point. You made an effort to spend ti with . I do not want to be living with soone who has to make an effort like it is a chore. I want soone who cannot help but want to spend ti with ."
"You are intentionally misunderstanding what I am saying." Wang Che said. "You know what I an. Do not try to put words in my mouth."
"I literally just quoted you," Shun shouted. "I cannot for the life of figure out how this happened. I must have been stupid. I do not see how we could have gotten together. I am sure that this is not how soone would treat their amnesiac boyfriend."
"I an, you do not even make an effort to help rember anything. Do you realise you have not shared a single mory of us even once? Was our relationship so boring that there was not a single thing about it that makes you excited enough to tell ?" He continued almost hysterically.
Wang Che was struck silent.
"Shun, I…" He started after a short mont, but he did not know what to say.
"Well, I am waiting to hear what you have to say," Shun said, folding his arms over his chest.
Wang Che pressed his lips together. His past friendship with Shun had a lot of good monts. It was a consistently good relationship, but it did not have highs and lows. No mont could be said to have been special enough to be a major point in their relationship.
He had never made an effort to let Shun know he loved him and was pursuing him. In fact, he went out of his way to make sure he did not suspect anything.
He never told him how cute he was when he was excited about a new project. Or how handso he was when appeared in a magazine. He did not even try to hold his hand. In truth, almost all of their physical contact was initiated by Shun because he was a clingy drunk.
And in the end, it was Shun who tried to kiss him first. And it was Shun who confessed his feelings first.
"I am not a person who is fond of sharing his feelings. You should know how I feel about you." Wang Che said stiffly.
Shun laughed and disconnected his seatbelt.
"Even now, you cannot bring yourself to speak sothing honest and from your heart. You know what? I do not have to stay with you. You are emotionally constipated and physically repressed." He said. "So, f*ck you. And I hope I do not see you again."
When he unlocked the door, Wang Che caught his arm. He wanted to say that he was sorry, and he would try harder. But he could not. The words that ca out were all wrong.
"You cannot leave. Do not forget that I have control over all your assets." He said with a hard edge in his voice.
"Is that how you are going to play it? Well then, enjoy the money. I hope it will keep you warm at night. And do not worry about . I learned from Hu Lei that I am quite a popular guy. I will figure out sothing." Shun said and freed his arm.
He opened the door and stepped out.. As he walked away, he gave Wang Che the middle finger.
