Not Stupid

Lu Yubai didn’t hear a reply. "Sixth Brother?"
Du du du… The busy tone sounded. On the other side, the line was cut.
Ling Sheng took a taxi to Song Yiyan’s place. She knew that she rented a small apartment, but she did not expect it to be in such an old neighborhood.
It was a dilapidated apartment building on the fifth floor. There were no streetlights, no elevators, and even the stairs didn’t have any lights.
When she shone the flashlight on the top floor with her phone, Ling Sheng realized that there was a small night lamp at the entrance of the unit. It was not very bright, but it illuminated the broken cement floor at the entrance.
When she reached the door and took out the key, Ling Sheng deliberately looked at the ground. She did not know how the cement ground had cracked. If she did not pay attention, she would definitely have fallen.
She had no idea how Song Yiyan managed to survive in such an environment. She didn’t have many other things, but she had given her a lot of keys. The key to the door was full of grooves, and the key had to be aligned just right to the keyhole before it could open the door.
Ling Sheng tried several times, but she could not insert the key. She patiently pointed the flashlight at the keyhole and tried again. Finally, she inserted it.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Song Yiyan.
"I’m already at your house. I’m about to go in…" Ling Sheng tilted her head as she held her phone, twisting the key as she spoke.
Little did she expect the door to be opened from the inside.
Thereafter, a man’s cold and magnetic voice sounded. "The food is in the kitchen."
Ling Sheng subconsciously looked up and saw the tall figure of the man with his back facing her. It seemed like he had just come out of the shower. He was half-naked, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The lines on his back were exquisite and smooth, and his long arms were wiping his wet hair.
"I forgot to tell you. I have a gigolo. Once you’re there, just let him sleep on the balcony!" Song Yiyan said nonchalantly.
Ling Sheng wanted to cry but had no tears. She lowered her head abruptly, roaring madly in her heart. I saw him. Sister, can’t you tell me earlier? Did you forget that there was a man in your house?
Fuck what did she just see? She had seen another man’s body, is she going to go blind?!
"Did you see him?" Song Yiyan frowned and raised her voice. "Fuck, did this bastard have another little bitch outside?"
"I saw him!" Ling Sheng gritted her teeth and lowered her voice. She felt like dying due to the embarrassment. She did not know what had gotten into her
Since when did she have a gigolo?! And what’s that about a bitch? Was this the trend nowadays?
"I’m warning you, he’s my man. Don’t you dare lay your hands on him!" Song Yiyan warned her sternly.
"I know!" Ling Sheng was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. She already had a man, so why would she have designs on other men?
The pretty boy opposite her seemed to have finally realized that something was wrong. He turned his head abruptly and looked at Ling Sheng. "Who are you?"
Ling Sheng’s phone fell to the ground. She stared at the man opposite her in disbelief, her eyes wide and her mouth stuttering. "Ji Xing!"
Ji Xing frowned, his gaze was cold and dangerous. He looked at the key in her hand. "Why do you have the key to my house?"
Ling Sheng rushed over in a panic. She sized him up like he was a monster and pointed at her nose. "You don’t know who I am?"
Ji Xing grabbed a T-shirt from the sofa and put it on before saying coldly, "If you trespass on a house, I can call the police and arrest you!"
Did he need to know who she was? She must be that swindler’s friend again. Didn’t that woman know that he lived here and that men and women shouldn’t touch each other?
"I’m Ling Sheng! I’m Ling Sheng!" When Ling Sheng heard his words and saw his unfamiliar gaze, it was a bolt from the blue for her.
Was God trying to play her to death? Why were they all suffering from amnesia?
"Should I know you?" Ji Xing’s expression was cold, and his entire body was filled with indifference.
"That…" Ling Sheng wanted to bang her head against the wall, so she took two steps forward. "That…"
"If you take another step closer, don’t blame me for being impolite." Ji Xing saw that the woman was about to close in on him and suddenly grabbed her wrist. His eyes were terrifyingly dangerous. "Tell that woman that I’m not her plaything. If she dares to find someone to humiliate me again, don’t blame me for turning hostile!"
Ling Sheng did not know what was going on between Song Yiyan and him. She could not understand the nonsense he said either. She sucked in a cold breath in pain. Looking at the dangerous look in his eyes, she pointed at the cross on his neck. "I’m talking about this. Do you really not remember? This can allow us to travel through worlds. We transmigrated together!"
Ji Xing sneered. "Did she ask you to say that?"
How did she know that his name was Ji Xing? Didn’t the female swindler say that she didn’t know his name? If she didn’t know, would her friend know?
Birds of the same feather flock together. That damned woman was not a good person. Her friend was probably not a good person either!
Ling Sheng told him everything that had happened in the past in detail. She also told him everything she knew. "Do you understand? We are not from this world. We transmigrated here."
Ji Xing looked at her with a cold and disdainful expression as if he was listening to her spouting nonsense. "Are you done?"
This woman looked quite normal, but she was actually a fool. She was quite compatible with that damn woman. One was an abnormal fool and the other was a swindler!
"I’m telling the truth!" Ling Sheng sighed and felt like crying. "You and Song Yiyan are a couple. She’s your woman and you’re her man!"
"Miss Ling, go and tell her that I lost my memory, not my mind!" Ji Xing sneered mockingly. He got up, took a coat, and put it on. He walked away and turned back when he reached the door. "I wish Miss Ling good dreams."
Ling Sheng watched him leave. "Where are you going?"
Ji Xing closed the door with a bang and looked at the light at the door. He had a dangerous gaze on the flickering light outside the door.
Alright, he was afraid that she would bump into something when she got home, so he had specially prepared a lamp for her. In the end, his good intentions had been treated like rubbish!
If she wanted to chase him away, she could have just said so. Yet, she had to get a so-called friend to come home and make up nonsense to disgust him!
He lifted his foot and was about to kick the lamp in front of him away when he slowly lowered his foot. Forget it. He doesn’t need to be so angry towards the heartless female swindler!
Seeing that Ji Xing left, Ling Sheng hurriedly called Song Yiyan. "Your man left, what now?"
Song Yiyan asked, "Where is he going?"
Ling Sheng said, "He told me to tell you that he lost his memory, not his mind! Then he left.. He even wished me a good dream."
