"Go to my place?"
Su Yuanyi looked at her seriously.
He seemed to let her answer again after thinking about it seriously.
But Gu Baisheng didn't have the intention to change her answer. She nodded violently, "Yes, I want to go to your place."
"At midnight? Just two of us?"
Su Yuanyi looked at her and smiled playfully.
Gu Baisheng froze for a while.
She soon realized that it was inappropriate to go to the home of someone who she barely knew at midnight.
And it was inappropriate for her to say things like this.
It made her look stupid.
Or worse, it made her look inconsiderate and troublesome.
"I..."
"Yes?"
Su Yuanyi noticed that she frowned, so he knew that she had something to say.
He waited for her to finish her sentence.
He also knew that she didn't visit the pet shop where Yin Xiaochun worked just because she wanted to take a walk.
But the reason why she showed up at the pet shop was unknown to him.
He wanted her to tell the truth herself.
Gu Baisheng hesitated for a while and thought quickly.
She looked up carefully and said in a low voice, "I want to… see your cat."
Su Yuanyi became silent after hearing her answer and suddenly burst into laughter, "You ran out at midnight to see my cat?"
"Yeah..."
Gu Baisheng couldn't tell him that she had a dream again.
Because she couldn't recall the dream clearly, the vague memories were killing her.
So, she ran out.
She just wanted to check if her dream was true.
She wanted to check if those things actually happened.
She wanted to know if those people really existed.
And she wanted to check if the cat that she once had gave birth to a kitten named Candy.
If so, Su Yuanyi should've been someone whom she used to know and remember.
Gu Baisheng struggled inside.
Su Yuanyi noticed that she was staring at him with complex facial expressions.
He nodded after thinking about it, "OK. You can go to my place."
Gu Baisheng nodded.
After getting in the car, she took a second thought, "Maybe I can wait you for a while downstairs? You can take Candy out and let me have a look?"
It was inappropriate to go to his home at midnight.
Su Yuanyi smiled on hearing this, "Candy won't go out at midnight."
"OK."
Gu Baisheng responded.
She went silent.
Su Yuanyi looked at her sideways.
He found that she was full of thoughts.
But he didn't ask her what bothered her.
He just showed her to the lift after he parked his car at the garage.
They were the only people in the lift at midnight.
Gu Baisheng looked down at Su Yuanyi's sleek trousers.
And Su Yuanyi noticed that she had been looking down and asked after a second thought, "How do you know that my cat is called Candy?"
"The clerk told me."
Gu Baisheng answered.
She looked up at Su Yuanyi.
She used to be very outgoing.
She looked into people's eyes when she talked to them.
She looked into Su Yuanyi's eyes when she answered his question.
But she felt that Su Yuanyi was staring at her.
His stare made her feel nervous.
She felt Su Yuanyi looked at her in a weird way. He didn't seem to look at her. Instead, he was looking through her at someone else.
This stare made her feel that Su Yuanyi was looking through her to look at an old friend carefully.
She knew it clearly that Bai Shengsheng hadn't known Su Yuanyi.
Because she couldn't find any memory about Bai Shengsheng interacting with Su Yuanyi.
So, she felt a bit uneasy when she was stared at by Su Yuanyi.
Luckily, within a few seconds, the lift reached Su Yuanyi's floor.
Gu Baisheng followed Su Yuanyi out.
She watched Su Yuanyi open the door.
Su Yuanyi opened the door and invited her in.
However, Gu Baisheng stepped back and crossed her hands, "It's better for me to stay here."
It was better not to enter a single man's home at midnight.
Otherwise, people would talk.
Su Yuanyi found it funny that she stood awkwardly at the doorway, "How can you see my cat if you don't come in?"
"You can take it to the doorway and I'll have a look here." She added, "I'll leave right after I look at it and won't cause you any trouble."
Su Yuanyi thought about it.
Then he nodded, "OK. Please wait a second."
Gu Baisheng waited at the doorway quietly.
Shortly, she heard steady footsteps and sad meows from the living room.
"Meow."
Su Yuanyi was holding Candy.
It looked at Gu Baisheng sleepily because someone interrupted its sleep.
Gu Baisheng opened her mouth in surprise when she heard the meows and the way Su Yuanyi held it.
She froze as if she had been stricken by the lightning.
"It's unhappy because I interrupted its sleep." Su Yuanyi raised his hand and patted its head.
He explained to Gu Baisheng smilingly, "It's usually very active. If you see it during the daytime, it would jump on you."
Gu Baisheng looked at Candy and stood still.
Su Yuanyi found that she was a bit odd, so he called her, "Miss Bai?"
But she had no response.
Su Yuanyi called her again, "Miss Bai? What happened?"
Gu Baisheng heard Su Yuanyi's calling.
She came back to her senses.
"Well, I..."
She looked at Candy and couldn't express how surprised she was.
Candy looked exactly like the black cat in her dream.
But they were different in size.
And both of them had some white hair on their paws.
It was unbelievable.
She couldn't believe that the cat named Candy in her dream existed in real life.
And it was kept by Su Yuanyi.
Gu Baisheng bit her lip.
Su Yuanyi noticed that she was not quite herself, so he asked, "Do you want to come inside and take a seat?"
Gu Baisheng felt cold inside.
She couldn't care about the gossip that she might face. She just nodded and entered Su Yuanyi's flat.
Su Yuanyi invited her to the living room.
Gu Baisheng didn't care about the furniture.
When she sat on the sofa, she asked immediately, "How did you find this cat?"
She wanted to know where Su Yuanyi got the cat.
On hearing it, Su Yuanyi said, "My friend left it to me."
"Your friend left it to you?"
Gu Baisheng didn't quite understand what Su Yuanyi meant.
Su Yuanyi smiled, "Her white cat gave birth to this cat. My friend used to keep them, but now she and her white cat are dead."
Gu Baisheng once thought it was merely a coincidence.
She thought that Candy only looked like the black cat in her dream.
She believed that she overthought.
But when she heard Su Yuanyi say so, she suddenly felt that her assumptions might be true.
And this black cat was the one in her dream.
But she couldn't remember anything.
This was not Bai Shengsheng's memory.
It was Gu Baisheng's forgotten memory.
"What's your friend's name?"
Gu Baisheng asked Su Yuanyi.
Su Yuanyi thought about it and said, "Her name is very similar to yours."
"Similar to mine?"
Bai Shengsheng suddenly felt nervous.
A name that was similar to hers?
Bai Shengsheng...
Gu Baisheng...
The two names indeed sounded alike.
"What's her name?"
Gu Baisheng wanted a specific answer so badly.
Su Yuanyi smiled and said sadly, "Her name is Gu Baisheng."
Gu Baisheng?
Gu Baisheng's body completely froze.
Just like her assumption, Su Yuanyi's friend was herself.
But why couldn't she remember him?
She never remembered someone named Su Yuanyi.
She had no memory of this person.
Did it mean that she didn't know him?
Or did she forget about him?
Gu Baisheng's head hurt.
She raised her hands subconsciously and rubbed her temples gently.
Su Yuanyi noticed her movement and pale face, so he asked concernedly, "Are you ill?"
"No..." Gu Baisheng stood up, "I need to go home."
She answered simply and stood up to leave.
Su Yuanyi saw her leaving in a hurry and frowned, "Maybe I can give a lift?"
"Please don't bother. I can go home myself. It's almost dawn."
Su Yuanyi felt worried when he saw her leave in such a hurry.
He put Candy on the sofa.
Candy didn't jump off the sofa when Su Yuanyi stood up.
It lay down on the sofa and curled up like a donut.
Gu Baisheng glanced at it, and she became more surprised.
Maybe the posture of all cats looked alike.
But the way Candy curled up looked exactly like the way the black cat curled up in her dream.
She took a deep breath.
She dared not think about it anymore.
She rushed to the door.
Su Yuanyi found that she looked strange on her way out.
So, he asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing. It's too late now. I have to go."
She said politely.
But after she walked out the door, her strength gradually left her due to the scenes she saw at Su Yuanyi's home.
She raised her hands to cover her head in the lift.
She said painfully, "What did I forget?"
Who did she forget?
Why did she always have the feeling that she forgot someone important?
But who was this person?
She couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried.
Was Su Yuanyi the one who she forgot?
Gu Baisheng bit her lip and looked up at the smooth walls in the lift.
Her reflection looked so pale.
It seemed that she would pass out in the next second.
But her eyes looked so confused and helpless.
