Lu Mengjie grinned widely as she replied, "I want our son to be as bright and cheerful as me so Lang Lang is a good nickname, don't you think so? He'll be like the brilliance of the sky!"
His eyes softened as he stared at her smiling face. He could never get tired of seeing her smiling face. Whenever she was genuinely happy, her eyes would smile together with her lips. It has a magical effect that caused something, a tingling sensation, to grow inside his chest. He reached out from the table and held her hand, her soft palm was smooth and warm.
"I bet he will just be like his mother," he commented.
"Ah-ah! But I still want him to be as handsome as you"
He chuckled lightly, "yes, that too. Handsome like his father."
She stared into his eyes and gently smiled. This man was really something. Even without doing much, he was affecting her a lot already. He was contagious for her. If he was happy, she couldn't help but reflect such joy back to him.
Shortly after, a waitress came to serve the food they ordered on the table.
…
Meanwhile, while the two were enjoying their lunch, on a table not far from them, a young woman was glancing their way from afar. Her fiery red hair was tied up into a high twin buns. She has been following the two ever since she saw them in the hospital.
The girl was wearing a pair of glasses, squinting her obsidian eyes from time to time just to get a clearer look at the couple. She was holding a phone and on its screen was a middle-aged man's handsome face, looking at her.
The man on her phone was looking as if he was waiting for something. The man's hair was black but had a few strands of white in them. Despite the few lines on his face, he still looked eye-catchy with his almond-shaped eyes and sharp jawlines.

"I'm telling you, it's really her!" She whisper-yelled. She tapped on the phone, changing the selfie camera to the rear one. "See? See? It's sister Bai Xue, brother Sloth!"
The man who was addressed as Sloth looked at the couple that the woman showed. "It's her…"
"She hasn't been contacting us for 5 months! 5 months! And here she is, seducing another man! He even looks more handsome than brother Wrath! Our place is full and yet she's still recruiting!" The girl wanted to cry, and yet she was just holding back the urge to do so. "He's so handsome, brother Sloth… I hope he can join us."
Sloth: "..."
This woman, was she complaining, or was she encouraging? She could be so confusing… just like Bai Xue.
A sigh was heard from the airpod that was in her ear. "You said that she has amnesia?"
"Yup. The last time I met her, she didn't look like she knew me at all. I could see it in her eyes, she wasn't able to recognize me!" She switched the camera back to her just so she could look at him.
"Keep an eye on her and don't tell others about this until we know what's true. We need to keep this from Wrath too."
"Eh? Why?" She pouted. "It's not like this is a new thing for us. Sister Bai Xue has been adopting us for years."
"She stopped contacting us for months and also… remember what I've told you? We can't trust Wrath. For all we know, he might be the one behind what happened to her."
"No way…" her lips were stretched into a thin line. She somehow suddenly looked so disappointed. "If he's the one behind this… we need to do something, brother Sloth. I can't believe he's targeting sister Bai Xue now. After all the years we've been through…"
"It's not for sure yet. I will look into it so you have to keep an eye and keep your mouth and don't tell others, Lust. I think this is the best for Mengmeng. If she really has amnesia and she couldn't remember everyone, then she will have no bias-ness against Wrath. Let's stay low until we find enough evidence against him," he instructed.

She nodded in obedience. "How about her father?"
Sloth paused and sighed, "we can't tell him. Even if I've been working with him for years, I'm pretty sure my head will go flying if he learned that I'm one of his daughter's men."
She chuckled lightly, "he's that scary?"
"Yes. Especially when it comes to his family."
A small smile appeared on her lips as she gently said, "you must be relieved that your student is still alive, right?"
"Of course. Yun Che…" he paused then corrected, "Pride and I have been with her the longest. She is our student, we will always take her side and have her back. That's been our duty ever since we were assigned by her father."
Lust was about to open her mouth when she suddenly felt someone staring at her. She ripped her gaze from her phone's screen as she lifted her head. Slowly, her eyes became wide in surprise to the point where she unconsciously dropped her phone on the table.
In front of her, Lu Mengjie was sitting with a dim smile plastered on her lips.
"Chun Hua? What's wrong?" Sloth's voice was heard from the earpiece. He couldn't tell what was happening since she dropped the phone in the wrong way, it was facing down against the table.
"Why did you stop? You really looked like you know me, even my father," said Lu Mengjie.
"S-sister Bai Xue…"
The woman in front of her picked up the phone just to see the other person Lust was talking with earlier.
The moment she saw him, a certain memory flashed in front of her.
She was sitting on the desk that was near a window. Children beside her were drawing, some were chatting happily with their friends.
Everyone was busy doing an art activity. The teacher, on the other hand, was lazily watching a movie on his phone since the kids were occupied.
After painting a flower, Mengmeng went to her teacher. She peeked and looked at the movie he was watching. It was currently a scene where the actor was doing CPR on a girl.
"Teacher Wei, why is he doing that to her chest then kissing her?" She asked out of curiosity.
Despite being a person with a high martial arts skill, for some reason, the teacher wasn't able to feel Mengmeng's presence when she approached him. Qiang Wei was surprised to suddenly hear her beside him. "H-How... how did you get here?"
Mengmeng blinked a few times, "I walked."
Qiang Wei: "..." Well... that was an obvious answer but that wasn't what he meant.
"Anyway, teacher Wei, you didn't answer my question."
"O-oh... he is saving her life."
A deep frown appeared on Mengmeng's face. "I'd rather die than to have a man touch my chest and kiss me, yuck."
Qiang Wei: "..."
Mengmeng placed her work on his desk before she walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"I need to go to the restroom, teacher Wei." Mengmeng showed her hand to him. "Five minutes."
It became a routine to them, whenever Mengmeng was going to the restroom, she would always tell him how many minutes she would be out since she came to an agreement with him.
Qiang Wei gave her a nod in acknowledgment before he turned back to his phone and continued watching the movie.
