“You said Susie and Lancelot are engaged?” Lu Mingfei looked at Nuonuo blankly.

“Yes, that’s what was said in the email I received about half a year ago. There was no ceremony. Lancelot bought a five-carat pink diamond, made an engagement ring, and asked the waiter to put it in champagne and serve it. Susie took it out and put it on, and the engagement was successful.” Nono leaned on the sofa and turned to look out the window.

Chu Zihang was not in the room. Nuonuo said she wanted to eat ice cream and sent Chu Zihang out to buy some. Chu Zihang took the change and left.

Lu Mingfei immediately understood that Nuonuo had something to tell him in private. He focused his attention on her with his ears perked up, but he never expected it to be this.

Lu Mingfei was a little anxious, “Those two people…how is it possible?”

He thought this was really impossible. Susie and Lancelot were Chu Zihang’s right-hand men, just like the eldest sister-in-law and the second-in-command in the village. The eldest sister-in-law got involved with the second-in-command when the eldest sister-in-law disappeared. What kind of logic was this?

Not to mention Susie’s feelings for Chu Zihang, Lancelot is not the kind of person who would flirt with his sister-in-law!

Back then, Lancelot was also a star figure who was rated A-level when he entered the school. He was top-notch in terms of ability and charm. He was originally the new president of the Lionheart Club who was popular among the people. However, after meeting Chu Zihang, he was impressed and gave up the position of president. He had been willingly serving as the second-in-command for so long… How could this selfless guy who only benefits others do such a thing?

“How is it impossible? These two people have been attracted to each other since the first day of school, okay? In the summer vacation after the first grade, they went to Madagascar together, and I went with them, but I could clearly feel that I was a light bulb the whole time. They danced hand in hand by the campfire, drank the same cocktail with two straws, and left me to an uncle from India! Sure enough, not long after they came back, they announced that they were together; in the second grade, Lancelot arranged for Susie to see an exhibition and have afternoon tea with his parents at the Louvre Museum of Art. At the end of the second grade, they I took off for China to accompany Susie’s parents to the Luoyang Peony Festival. What do you call that? It’s called ‘meeting the parents’! Okay? These two, single from birth, had a perfectly standard relationship, smooth and open. “Nono glared, his words accelerating,” he said. “So before graduation, Susie went to the Paris branch for an internship because that’s Lancelot’s hometown, and he was also interning there! So a man and a woman, perfectly matched, who’d been boyfriend and girlfriend for three years without any major conflicts, and now they’re finally working and living in the same city, planning to get married. What’s so strange about that?”

“Then what should we do, senior brother?” Lu Mingfei was a little anxious.

“What to do?”

“My senior brother was transformed into nothing by that word spirit that altered the causal line. He just disappeared temporarily. You can’t just say that just because someone disappears temporarily, the girl who likes him will get engaged to someone else, right? You can’t just say that I went away for school for a semester and when I came back, I found that there was a fucking extra son at home who had taken my parents away, right?”

“Let’s get it clear. No one in this world remembers Chu Zihang except you. Susie certainly won’t fall in love with someone who doesn’t exist. This is not a betrayal. Even if Susie doesn’t love Lancelot, she will fall in love with Abdullah Abbas or someone else.” Nono whispered, “The earth will still turn without anyone. Even if Susie really remembers Chu Zihang, and one day Chu Zihang disappears, everyone says he is dead, and the sadness is over, she will eventually be with someone else. She is not Chu Zihang’s dog, not Hachiko, she won’t wait foolishly for her master to come back after he dies, until she dies too.

Lu Mingfei fell silent.

In reality, there was nothing to argue about. Nuonuo was right, and Lu Mingfei knew it all. He couldn’t even complain that Susie had abandoned Chu Zihang after having an affair with him—well, actually, that infidelity didn’t exist—according to the current causal line, Chu Zihang would have died long ago, and Susie certainly couldn’t be a widow for a boy who died at the age of fifteen.

So Susie and Lancelot fell in love at first sight, were engaged at a later date, and, with three matchmakers and six betrothals, were headed straight for marriage. They were the perfect model couple. This was all good, wonderful, too good to fault… but what about Chu Zihang? What should Chu Zihang do?

The boy who was only fifteen years old at heart has been eliminated from the world, and now even the girl who liked him is getting married.
