The parcel locker is located at the entrance of the residential area, so it's easy to find.

She had just picked up her package and was about to head back when a man wearing a hat suddenly appeared from the side and silently blocked her way.

Wen Qing was startled and took a half step back, her fingers instinctively tightening around the delivery box.

Her first instinct was to run towards the crowd, but the man slightly raised his chin, revealing his face from the shadows beneath his hat brim. He had high brow bones, bright eyes, and a cryptic smile on his lips.

It was Gu Qin!

My tender mind went blank for a moment after seeing that face clearly.

Gu Qin, what is he doing here?

Shouldn't he be recuperating in the hospital? How come he's at the entrance of her apartment complex?

Looking at the flustered and guilty expression on the person in front of him, Gu Qin narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke.

"You know me, don't you?"

Wen Qing came to her senses and pretended to be calm.

"I do know them, but we're just acquaintances, not very close."

Gu Qin raised an eyebrow, took a step forward, and the distance between the two of them was reduced to less than half a meter.

He looked down at Wen Qing, his expression unspoken.

"We're not that close, but why do you look so familiar, like I'm seeing an old friend?"

Wen Qing didn't back down. She looked up at him calmly, but inwardly she was thinking: An old friend? Actually, he's an enemy.

However, she is now extremely grateful that he has lost his memory, otherwise, based on their past grievances, she would already be pinned against the wall by his collar.

"No, we just knew each other, exchanged a few words, and then had no further contact."

He spoke calmly and gently.

Gu Qin smirked, then bent down slightly to level the height difference between the two of them, the brim of his hat almost touching her forehead.

"Really? Then why does my heart beat so fast when I see you?"

Wenqing blinked.

"And," he leaned close to her ear, his voice low and slow, with a hint of tenderness, but his words were cold and ruthless, "I have an urge to kill you."

As she finished speaking, Wenqing's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Her gaze swept quickly across his face. His eyes, hidden in the shadow of his hat brim, appeared exceptionally deep. There was no smile in them, nor any murderous intent, but rather a deep sense of confusion.

Perhaps he himself was also confused as to why he had this impulse.

Suddenly, the live chat appeared.

[Huh? Gu Qin and his sister? Why are they so close together?]

[This distance is too dangerous! I can count his eyelashes!]

【Wait, isn't Gu Qin in the hospital? When was he discharged? He ran out to find his sister before his bandages were even completely removed?】

【No, Gu Qin belongs to Wen Fan, sister, you should stay away from him!】

Did you even read the previous part carefully? This isn't a flirtatious atmosphere, it's clearly a standoff.

[Yes, yes, Gu Qin's expression wasn't affectionate at all; it looked like he was interrogating her.]

[Has he regained his memory? Does he remember his sister as the one who wrote "big idiot" on his face?]

[He hasn't regained his memories, has he? If he really had, would he still be standing here so calmly talking? Knowing his personality, he would have exploded by now.]

So, he has amnesia but his body still remembers, "This person is my enemy"? What kind of muscle memory level of hatred is this?

But I think Gu Qin's attitude towards his sister is really bad. Regardless of whether she remembers or not, he keeps saying he wants to kill her. Isn't that going too far?

[Exactly, my sister did nothing wrong, so why is he threatening her in the street?]

[Can you guys please stop putting down Gu Qin every time he appears? That's just his personality; he's mean to everyone, it's not just targeting his sister.]

Being mean to everyone is no excuse for being mean to your sister. If you like domineering types, don't equate domineering with being rude.

Wenqing noticed that the like value in the upper right corner suddenly increased by 2 points.

This was an unexpected delight.

Gu Qin suddenly spoke, his tone clearly showing displeasure: "What are you laughing at?"

Wen Qing snapped back to reality and quickly suppressed the smile on her face: "I wasn't laughing."

"I saw you smile just now; there was still a smile in your eyes, and you didn't have time to hide it."

Wen Qing knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she simply admitted honestly, "Okay, I laughed."

Gu Qin was amused by her "I admit it, what can you do about it?" attitude.

"What are you laughing at? Were you secretly cursing me in your mind just now?"

"No, no," Wen Qing denied repeatedly, "I was just thinking about something else, it has nothing to do with you."

Looking at her sincere expression, Gu Qin thought that this person had the ability to say the most perfunctory things with the most innocent face.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to strangle her again, and changed the subject.

"I feel like we must have had a falling out before, otherwise why would I want to strangle you the moment I see you? Tell me, what exactly happened between us?"

Wenqing silently replied in her heart: I'm sorry for embarrassing you in public.

Of course, she couldn't say that.

So she met Gu Qin's gaze, her expression as innocent as a freshly picked white flower.

"How would I know what you're thinking? You want to strangle me, not the other way around. Maybe you just have a bad temper."

The comments section erupted in laughter again.

"Maybe you just have a bad temper"—Little sister, are you really not afraid of death?

[Hahahaha, you're the first girl to dare say he has a bad temper to Gu Qin's face!]

My little sister is so funny, I like her more and more.

Gu Qin's embarrassed expression is so funny, I'm going to screenshot it and use it as a meme.

[As long as Gu Qin is unhappy, I'm happy.]

[Enough of you gloating! Gu Qin has it tough too, you know. He came all this way just to get a scolding.]

[He deserved to be reprimanded because he threatened his sister first.]

I love my younger sister's cowardly yet courageous spirit; she may seem gentle, but her words are full of barbs.

When Wen Qing saw that her favorability rating had increased by 3 points, she immediately perked up, and her eyes lit up when she looked at Gu Qin.

Gu Qin was about to say something, but she was a little confused by her suddenly bright eyes.

Those almond-shaped eyes, which had been full of wariness and evasion just moments before, suddenly stared straight at him as if they had seen gold.

He felt a little uneasy under that gaze.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"It's nothing," Wen Qing shook her head, "I just feel like you might be my lucky star."

A few words were enough to increase her favorability rating by five points. If she talks to him more next time they meet, it might increase it again.

Gu Qin looked at her suspiciously. Just now she said they weren't very familiar, and now she's saying he's her lucky star.

This woman's words are incoherent; which one is true?

He was silent for a moment, then changed his posture and cleared his throat.

"Since you think I'm a lucky charm, I'll come find you again next time."

"..." Wen Qing's smile froze for a moment.

Gu Qin saw her expression freeze, and finally revealed the first genuine smile of the day.

He pulled his hat brim down further, turned around, and strode away.
