A night of drinking.

When Lu Haoran woke up, it was already noon of the second day. He looked around, confused by the unfamiliar room.

Where is this?

He knocked his head as he thought back to how he got drunk at the Xuan Yue Restaurant yesterday. What followed was the chaotic memories of the day.

Lu Family is such a mess! Lu Haoran felt that he was just a clown yesterday, becoming everyone's joke.

He did not know how he managed to reach the Xuan Yue Tower. All he knew was that he had already drunk a few bottles of wine by the time he found out.

Cousin Caiyun, ah!

Lu Haoran raised his head and sighed.

Our Lu Family treats you well, why are you treating me like this? If you have a heart, why didn't you tell me? Do you really think my cousin is so unreasonable in your eyes?

Yes! I really like you. Cousin has always wanted to marry you.

But because I like you, I won't force you …

You can tell me anything you want, and even if you did say it a day earlier, it wouldn't have ended up like yesterday.

Caiyun, oh Caiyun! Do you know that if you leave like this, the reputation of running away with others will follow you forever, you won't be able to wash it away …

Lu Haoran leaned on the headboard for a long time before he finally sorted out his thoughts. He put on his shoes and looked around, realizing that this was the guest room of the inn.

Strange … How did he get here?

There was only the memory of drinking alcohol in his head, Lu Haoran really couldn't remember how he got there.

The only thing he could remember, he thought as he walked, was what seemed to have been a dream the night before, but the dream was a pale one. Dream... There seemed to be someone else, that person seemed to have whispered something into his ear …

"Manager!" Lu Haoran walked to the counter on the second floor and asked, "Who brought me here yesterday?"

Lu Haoran is a famous person in the city, so the innkeeper naturally knows him. He smiled and said: "Yo, Second Master Lu, you're awake? Did you sleep well last night? "

Lu Haoran laughed mournfully and replied: "I'm fine." Actually, it wasn't good at all. His whole body was sore, his body was heavy, and after a hangover he felt a headache. This feeling was really unpleasant.

"I just asked you, how did I get into your store yesterday?"

"This grandpa doesn't remember?" Yesterday you were drunk and you fell at the door of our store. I was afraid that if you lay down like this, the waiter would bring you in. "

"Is that so?" "So it was the waiter who brought him in!" "Oh yeah, I'll give you the room money." Lu Haoran thought that he couldn't stay for free, so he took out his money. However, after searching his entire body, he couldn't find a single copper coin. Immediately, an awkward expression appeared on his face. "Ugh …" Can you keep an account? I'll ask the servants to send them over later. "

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "What did Second Master Lu say? We decided to let Second Master live here on our own, how could we accept your money! Just go back. "

"I'll definitely get someone to deliver it when I get back."

The shopkeeper saw his insistence and did not refuse. He smiled as he sent him out, "Second Elder, have a good day!"

After they left, Quan Er, who was hiding in the corner, ran over and gave the shopkeeper some silver coins: "Well done! This is something our master gave you. "

"Thank you, Master!"

Lu Haoran stumbled home. As he passed by the corner of the street, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. He turned around and stopped a girl: "Miss, please wait!"

The girl was shocked and asked, "Wh-what's going on …"

Only then did Lu Haoran realize that he was being reckless, and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I scared the girl. I just wanted to ask the girl... "Ugh …" "That …" He felt a little embarrassed at what he was about to ask.

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Ugh …" I wanted to ask the girl what powder she was wearing. "Why is it so fragrant …"

A man blocking a girl's house in broad daylight just to ask her what powder he was wiping. This was really …

Seeing Lu Haoran's embarrassed face, the lady's ears turned red, and she could not help but laugh: "I did not wipe any powder, and Young Noble probably smelled the flowers on my head."

Flower?

Lu Haoran raised his head and saw that indeed, the girl's bun was tied by one side with a string of beautifully crafted light yellow flowers. Upon a careful sniff, a fragrant aroma wafted in the air.

"May I ask what flower this is?"

"Does young master not even know about the jasmine flowers?"

Jasmine Flower? Is this a jasmine flower?

Lu Haoran had never seen the fragrance of jasmine before, but he found it embarrassing to admit that he didn't even recognize the jasmine. He could only smile and walk over as he asked, "Where is the flower?"

"There's a little girl selling it over there. I just bought it on my head."

"Thank you, Miss."

Lu Haoran headed towards the direction the girl pointed, and sure enough, he saw a little girl carrying a flower basket. He went up to stop the girl and asked, "Are there any more jasmine flowers?"

The little girl shook her head and said, "All of them were sold out today."

Hearing that was all, Lu Haoran felt a burst of regret. He didn't know why he cared so much about the jasmine, or perhaps he was actually only concerned about the flower's fragrance …

There didn't seem to be anything that carried this flower's fragrance by his side, but when he brushed shoulders with the girl just now, the familiar feeling that surfaced in his heart instead caused Lu Haoran to feel a bit worried.

His intuition told him that he remembered this fragrance, but not only that, it was also very familiar.

It was as if they would often smell it …

However, he could not find any traces of Jasmine in his memory.

Had he forgotten when he lost his memory?

Lu Haoran rubbed his head, remembering many things he couldn't remember clearly after waking up from his severe injury. Especially when he left home last time, his memories for almost a year now were completely blank. He did not know what had happened in the past year, but he always felt that the memory he had missed seemed important to him.

That jasmine fragrance might have been part of that memory as well, or it might have been a rather important part.

When had he ever smelled such a scent?

What important things had he forgotten in less than a year?

When Lu Haoran returned home, he smiled bitterly at the worry of his parents and brothers. The more he smiled, the more he worried the family when he said that he was fine. In the end, they even became more cautious in their speech, afraid that they would touch his heart.

Seeing that, Lu Haoran felt powerless, and could only say: "Father, if you meet Cousin Caiyun in the future, don't make things difficult for her, okay?"

When Lu’s father heard this, he flew into a rage. He slammed the table and said, "I don't have such a shameless niece, don't mention her to me in the future!"

Lu Haoran wanted to help him explain himself, but he was stopped by his big brother: "Don't be angry Father, Second Brother spoke nonsense because it was because it was too exciting, why are you actually comparing yourself to him?"

"Nonsense or not! Don't mention her to me in the future! "

Seeing that, Lu Haoran knew that her father was furious, and could only shut her mouth. He was well aware of his father's temper. In order to prevent his father from hating his cousin too much, he could only pretend that there was no one in the family.

Pity that he only felt sorry for his cousin. He didn't know if she was living out there by herself or if that man would take good care of her. If he couldn't live on in the future, would she be able to come back …

Thinking about it, Lu Haoran couldn't help but call himself an idiot. He was clearly the most wronged one, but he just couldn't get angry at his cousin.

He liked her so much, yet he felt that this was the best way to go about it.

Why do you think that? The girl he liked had gone away with another man, and he still thought this was good? Had he gone mad or had he gone stupid? Was it really like what Big Brother said, that he was just bragging because he had gone too far?

But what kind of comfort was there in the waves of pain that surged through his heart? Why did he care so much about his cousin's betrayal?

The marriage with his cousin had become a taboo in the family, but the big matter of Lu Haoran's life had become a worry on the minds of the two Lu Family elders.

They wanted to find a good fate for Lu Haoran, but were stopped by Lu Haoran's excuse.

How could he be in the mood to get married when his new wife had just left?

Thinking about it, the two Lu Family Elders made sense, especially after seeing their son's sad and disappointed expression, they couldn't bear to set off the injuries in his heart.

In any case, Lu Haoran was a genius, even if he was a few years late, he would still be able to find a good girl.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Haoran decided to stay at home until the New Year.
