After Losing My Memory, I Went After My Archenemy - Chapter 35

That evening, out of curiosity, she searched online for Lin Xi’s parents’ names and discovered they were well-known figures in the industry. Her own family even owned many pieces of jewelry designed by Lin Xi’s mother. As for Lin Xi’s father, he was even more extraordinary; his name was attached to dozens of jewelry companies, and he also dabbled in cross-industry ventures like hotels, entertainment, and sports, all of which enjoyed international acclaim.

Now, the pressure was on Xia Rou.

She wondered if she had ever flaunted her wealth in front of Lin Xi before she lost her memory…

The thought made her cringe with embarrassment, making her curl her toes.

Lin Xi’s family was simply richer than hers.

Tossing and turning all night, Xia Rou barely slept and was almost late for school the next day.

“Didn’t sleep well yesterday? You look awful.”

As she spoke, Lin Xi quietly placed a cup of yogurt in front of her, an action filled with quiet affection.

“I feel inferior,” Xia Rou pouted and turned to look at her, looking glum.

“Inferior about what?” Lin Xi couldn’t help but be amused.

“Your family is too rich. In comparison, the small mine my family owns is nothing, and the family business is mostly controlled by my uncle. He could easily kick us out.”

“The money is just my parents’ money, it’s not mine,” Lin Xi emphasized.

“Well, mine is the same, it’s also money spent from the family,” Xia Rou sighed.

She now only prayed that she wouldn’t recover her memory, otherwise, she really wouldn’t know how to face Lin Xi.

The meeting with Lin Xi’s parents took place two days later.

Xia Rou sought advice from her mother and chose her most presentable and graceful outfit for the appointment.

Regarding the gifts, since Lin Xi’s parents were already wealthy enough that things purchasable on the market might not be impressive to them, Xia Rou struggled with what to get. Fortunately, Lin Xi offered her a suggestion: they would like any gift as long as it was chosen with thought, regardless of the price.

With that, she felt free to buy something.

The meeting location was at the most high-end golf club in the suburbs. The Xia family also had shares in it, and it was the same golf club where Xia Rou had seen Lin Xi during a family gathering.

Because of the strict membership policy and the net worth requirements for every member, Xia Rou had always wondered how Lin Xi got in until today the answer was clear.

The silent owner of that golf club… was Lin Xi’s father.

Xia Rou’s soul was dealt another heavy blow upon realizing this fact, as this was a place only accessible to the super-rich, where even the simply rich couldn’t get a foot in the door.

When she and Lin Xi arrived, Lin Xi’s parents were already waiting in the boss reception room on the third floor, which had a huge floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the entire golf course.

The moment she saw Xia Rou, Lin Xi’s mother’s eyes visibly lit up. With one hand coolly tucked in her pocket, she praised her: “Wow, what a beautiful Omega girl.”

The woman in front of her had neat, short blonde hair, was dressed fashionably and avant-garde, yet her smile was very approachable. The stone of worry in Xia Rou’s heart finally dropped.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterward.

Lin Xi’s parents were not only easygoing, but Lin Xi’s father even urged them to get married right there, catching Xia Rou off guard.

In response, Lin Xi’s mother was not to be outdone and immediately started urging them to have children.

“A beautiful Omega paired with our beautiful Alpha… and 100% pheromone match, the offspring they produce must be even more perfect. Go for it, I have high hopes for you two~”

Lin Xi: …

Xia Rou: !

The winter break quietly arrived, but Lincai City, a coastal city in the south, showed no signs of cold.

Xia Rou was born in this city, and in her memory, Lincai only had three seasons: spring, summer, and autumn. Even “winter” was warm enough for a light jacket, or even just a single layer of clothing.

Xixi Campsite had recently become a popular destination among young people. It was rumored that magical things happened to every couple who stayed there overnight.

Xia Rou also wanted to join in the fun, so a simple bit of coaxing was all it took for Lin Xi to accompany her.

The campsite had a small river for fishing, surrounded by lush woods and beautiful scenery.

At this moment, Xia Rou was sitting on the picnic blanket preparing today’s lunch, mostly various ready-to-eat foods and fruits bought from the supermarket that only required simple cooking and plating. Meanwhile, Lin Xi was fishing by the river, trying hard to catch a fish to add to their meal.

A gentle breeze blew past, carrying the scent of lamb chops from a nearby grill. Xia Rou smiled to herself, suddenly feeling the simple happiness of everyday life.

Just as she inadvertently glanced in Lin Xi’s direction, she suddenly saw an Omega hitting on Lin Xi.

The person was slightly bending over and talking to her, their flowing hair almost touching Lin Xi’s face.

There was nothing she could do about her girlfriend being too attractive; she hadn’t looked away for a moment and already someone was trying to poach her.

Xia Rou gritted her teeth, immediately got up and walked over. When she was about ten meters away, she shouted loudly and sweetly, “Honey!”

The Omega who was talking to Lin Xi was startled, and then saw the Alpha, who had been very cold to them, turn back with a bright smile, her eyes filled with tenderness.

“What’s wrong?”

Xia Rou gestured with her eyes, “Who is this?”

The Omega awkwardly stepped back a few paces to create distance. “Sorry, I didn’t know you two were a couple.” With that, they scurried away as if fleeing.

“What did she just say to you?” Xia Rou pouted, slightly upset.

“Are you jealous?” Lin Xi asked with a smile.

“Mhmm.” Xia Rou nodded, not hiding it at all.

Lin Xi simply took her hand and rubbed it in her palm. “Don’t worry, I didn’t entertain her.”

Xia Rou quickly recovered her spirits and promptly asked, “Did you catch any fish?”

The Alpha looked slightly embarrassed and shook her head. “It’s not easy to catch.”

“Then never mind, let’s go eat.”

Xia Rou pulled Lin Xi up and walked with her.

The afternoon activities were simple: a nap followed by preparing dinner filled the time.

As night fell, stars filled the sky, and firefly lights illuminated the camp.

Due to the limited outdoor conditions, Xia Rou had to take her toiletry bag to the public shower room here to bathe. After that, she put on the carefully prepared sexy silk slip dress, and then wrapped herself tightly in a jacket before going out.

Lin Xi, who had also just finished showering, was waiting at the entrance.

The two naturally held hands and walked with a light back to the tent.

“I want to go to bed early tonight,” Xia Rou secretly whispered, resting her face on Lin Xi’s arm.

“…Okay.” The Alpha’s body visibly tensed up for a moment when she heard that.

When they got back to the tent, Lin Xi really did quietly pack up and lie down, even intentionally turning her back to Xia Rou.

After sulking alone in the dark for a while, Xia Rou simply took the initiative to cuddle up to her again, deliberately pressing her lips against the Alpha’s nape and saying, “How much longer are you going to endure?”

“I was too unrestrained a while ago, I need to exercise restraint.”

Lin Xi’s lowered voice held a hint of helplessness.

“No, no, no, I don’t want to hold back anymore.”

Xia Rou simply threw caution to the wind, kissing, touching, and running her hands all over the person in front of her.

Rustling sounds occasionally broke the silence of the tent. Lin Xi struggled to suppress the raging heat within her body but was finally defeated by the little temptress in front of her. When she couldn’t take it anymore, she flipped over and pinned her underneath.

The Alpha’s heavy breathing lowered to a whisper: “You’re done for.”

Xia Rou underneath clearly smelled the initial tart and sweet citrus scent gradually changing into the slightly bitter smell of herbs mixed with the scent of mountain wood chips—serious and abstinent. Yet, at this moment, the afternote was Lin Xi’s rutting pheromone scent, a huge contrast.

It was precisely because she discovered this secret that Xia Rou always loved to tease her after the first time, almost draining Lin Xi completely, which led to the Alpha imposing a short ban on physical contact.

After all, Alphas who possess two pheromone scents simultaneously are rare in the world, and there was no way Xia Rou could control herself.

The next day, it rained at the campsite, and the temperature dropped significantly compared to the day before. After a night had passed, there were fewer tents than yesterday.

Lin Xi was sitting outside brewing tea. Xia Rou, who had just finished a game, crawled out of bed and shuffled to the tent entrance to whine, “It’s so cold, I want a hug, Xi Xi!”

In that instant, Xia Rou’s head suddenly felt dizzy. She thought she stood up too fast and had low blood sugar, but soon the missing pieces of memory all rushed back to her brain.

Her memory was recovered.

Xia Rou:

“Why aren’t you coming over?” Lin Xi asked, turning to look at the person who had just begged for a hug but hadn’t moved, her smile bright.

Xia Rou said with great seriousness: “If I wanted to break up now, would you beat me to death?”

Lin Xi listened and replied calmly, “I might punish you in a different way.”

Xia Rou silently thought of the silk dress that had been torn by this woman last night and chose to keep quiet.

“It really is a magical campsite,” the Omega whispered to herself, guiltily turning away.

“What?” Lin Xi asked.

“Nothing, nothing at all! I still haven’t recovered my memory yet.”

Xia Rou…

Lin Xi: …

Wanting to break up after recovering her memory was false, but being utterly mortified was real.

Xia Rou truly wished she could go back in time and hit herself. Why didn’t she chase Lin Xi down during her first year of school?
