Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 54

Before she could finish, she saw Nie Long's smirk and her heart skipped a beat, suddenly at a loss for words.

"I never thought you'd run into your old flame here," Nie Long said sarcastically.

Zhao Yueyue's face turned pale, her fingers clenching tightly.

A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, though it wasn't obvious.

"I get it, it's that guy who fought with Brother Long before!"

"Why shouldn't we stay here? They say this place is the most comfortable, and more importantly, it's safe! Where else would you find such a good place?"

"I heard they even sell clothes here... I've been wanting to wear new clothes for so long."

"Zhao Yueyue, Brother Long may like you, but you can't take advantage of his favor like this!"

Zhao Yueyue turned her head away without a word.

Even Fu Sishu, as slow as he was, could now see what was going on.

He frowned and glanced at Zhao Yueyue.

No wonder Fu Siheng never mentioned her before.

So, she had betrayed Fu Siheng and left with another man?

He heard the other women say that Fu Siheng had gotten into a fight with this man called Brother Long before.

Why did they fight? And from the looks of it, it seemed Fu Siheng had lost?

So, Zhao Yueyue chose this Brother Long?

"If that's the case, let's not bother each other from now on," Fu Sishu said coldly. "Although you and Siheng were married before, now in this apocalyptic world... well, anyway, no one can enter others' rooms in the hotel. If we see each other in the dining area, we can just pretend not to know each other."

"Big brother..."

Zhao Yueyue wanted to say something, but Fu Sishu had already left without looking back.

Nie Long snickered, casually putting his arm around one of the women's shoulders, saying, "Come on, let's go check out the rooms!"

"Sure, Brother Long, hehe."

Nie Long and the women all got into the elevator, with Zhao Yueyue following behind with her head down.

Meanwhile, Gu Wanyin stood nearby, sipping her milk tea and witnessing the entire scene.

So, that woman called Zhao Yueyue was Fu Siheng's ex-wife?

What a coincidence.

She remembered that when Fu Siheng first arrived, he was covered in blood and looked utterly miserable.

That blood must have been his own. He was injured, but probably not too severely, and because he was an Ability User, he recovered quickly.

He had exchanged a part of his memory for points...

Could it be that those memories were related to Zhao Yueyue?

Because his beloved wife had betrayed him, he was in so much pain that he chose to forget everything related to her?

But...

At this moment, Fu Sishu walked over. Seeing her, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Manager Gu, sorry you had to see that."

Gu Wanyin shook her head and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about, it's just..."

She felt that this matter wasn't as simple as Zhao Yueyue betraying Fu Siheng.

After all, Zhao Yueyue's behavior seemed very odd.

"What?" Fu Sishu asked, confused.

"It's better to get the facts straight about some things."

Gu Wanyin said this briefly, then walked away sipping her milk tea.

After all, she was just an outsider and shouldn't say too much.

Fu Sishu watched her leave, then looked at the now-closed elevator doors, lost in thought.

Gu Wanyin went to the supermarket to get a bag of chips, then mentally asked the system, "System, now that Zhao Yueyue is also in the hotel, will Fu Siheng remember her if he sees her?"

"No," the system replied promptly. "He exchanged that part of his memory for points. No matter how deeply Zhao Yueyue was etched in his heart before, he won't recall those memories."

Gu Wanyin nodded.

That made sense. After all, the system had taken those memories, so how could there be any slip-ups?

She wondered what it would be like when Zhao Yueyue and Fu Siheng met...

...

That evening, Gu Wanyin took Coke and Burger to eat hotpot.

Halfway through their meal, Nie Long walked in with his women.

However, Zhao Yueyue wasn't with them.

Nie Long and his group saw Gu Wanyin and gave her a respectful greeting before finding a table to sit down.

"I never thought I'd get to eat hotpot in this lifetime!" one of the women exclaimed while browsing the menu, constantly swallowing.

"Brother Long, can we order whatever we want?" another woman asked hopefully.

Nie Long hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's have a good meal today! But from tomorrow on, we'll need to be more frugal."

Although his ability level was high, he had to support five women besides himself.

It was better not to be too extravagant.

Hearing this, the women became excited. Gu Wanyin saw their fingers repeatedly poking at the menu and had to hold back her laughter.

Looks like she'd be earning quite a few points again, how delightful!

Although she didn't like these one-woman-multiple-men or one-man-multiple-women arrangements, as long as she could earn points, it was fine.

Gu Wanyin fished out a shrimp ball to eat. Mmm, it was full of shrimp meat, with a rich spicy flavor. Satisfying!

Just then, more people entered the hotpot restaurant.

To her surprise, it was Fu Siheng and Bai Shuwen.

Why were the two of them coming to eat together? Could it be...

They had been staying in the hotel for a while now, and Coke and Burger were quite familiar with them, so they greeted them as they entered.

"Uncle Fu, Aunt Bai."

Bai Shuwen walked over, smiling as she patted Burger's head. "You're eating here too? Burger, why are you only eating meat? You should eat more vegetables, okay?"

"Hehe."

Fu Siheng nodded at Gu Wanyin in greeting, then his gaze inadvertently swept to the side, meeting Nie Long's eyes.

"Well, well, Fu Siheng," Nie Long sneered. "We meet again."

Fu Siheng, however, looked at him in confusion. "Do I know you?"

In his memory, there was no such person.

"Hahaha..." Nie Long burst into laughter. "Do you feel too embarrassed about losing to me before, so you're pretending not to know me? There's nothing to be ashamed of, really. After all, I have a level five ability, while you're only level four! If you want to blame something, blame your bad luck!"

"You've got the wrong person," Fu Siheng said politely. "I've never met you before, let alone lost to you."

"Stop pretending! If we've never met, how would I know your name is Fu Siheng?"

Fu Siheng was indeed puzzled by this point as well.

Bai Shuwen glanced at Nie Long, then said to Fu Siheng, "If you can't remember, just let it go. I suddenly don't feel like eating hotpot anymore. Let's go somewhere else to eat."

Fu Siheng nodded and prepared to leave with Bai Shuwen.

But Nie Long spoke up again: "It's a pity Yueyue didn't come with us. Otherwise, you two could have met."

Yueyue?

Fu Siheng frowned slightly.

He had heard this name more than once from his brother's mouth.

But he had absolutely no recollection of it.

Who was this person called Yueyue, and what relationship did they have with him?
