Chapter 103: A Puzzle of Memory
Zhou Jiahui was so choked that she couldn't say a word to refute it, she had never suffered this kind of wretched spirit since she was a child. Zhou Jiahui is Zhou Rui's pearl, and Li Xuan dare not wronged her. Seeing that Zhou Jiahui's face was wrong, although he felt rude, he had to leave first: "It's not too early today, let's go back first, I'll come back tomorrow afternoon." β
"Let's go back after dinner, my in-laws are coming to the door for the first time, why don't you leave without eating." Although Bai Linglong can't look down on Zhou Jiahui, her in-laws are in-laws after all, after all, she likes Chu Shengge very much to be her daughter-in-law.
"It's all a family, let's come to Japan for a long time." Li Xuan knew Zhou Jiahui's temper, so he naturally didn't dare to stay longer.
"It's fine." Bai Linglong instructed the driver to send Li Xuan and Zhou Jiahui back, and Lu Chenhuan accompanied Chu Shengge to send them to the courtyard.
"Mom will come to see you tomorrow." Li Xuan let go of Chu Shengge's hand and got into the car.
"Mom, goodbye." Chu Shengge's heart was very conflicted, she wanted to stay with her mother for a while. If she said that she wanted to go to a hotel with her mother, Lu Chenhuan should not stop her. However, she was afraid that after a long time, her mother found out that she had amnesia.
"Go back, don't stand in the wind." Li Xuan waved his hand at Chu Shengge.
The car carrying Li Xuan and Zhou Jiahui walked away, and Chu Shengge was still standing there in a daze, like a small statue.
"Let's go inside." Lu Chenhuan hugged Chu Shengge's waist, he knew that Chu Shengge felt uncomfortable, so he could only take care of it carefully.
"I want to go back to my room and get some rest, I'm a little tired."
"Finish dinner and go to sleep." Lu Chenhuan rubbed Chu Shengge's hair.
"I'm not hungry." Chu Shengge shook her head, she only felt that her head was heavy, as if it was stuffed with lead.
Lu Chenhuan looked worriedly at Chu Shengge, who was gradually falling into a deep sleep, and when he saw his mother and Zhou Jiahui, he subconsciously stimulated the past that she had forgotten.
Chu Shengge passed through the gray mist, and she returned to the shadow garden. Her home is still the same as when she was a child, with a neatly manicured lawn, and the magnolia trees planted by her father are tall and straight, with white flowers blooming on the branches one by one, and a faint fragrance in the air. Under the lead-gray sky, these scenes all look a little oppressive.
She walked into the bungalow and drove to the room where she had lived since birthβpale pink walls, beautiful crystal chandeliers with crystal clear tassels, and all the furniture a warm cream with light purple corners. Her favorite swing chair was still in front of the bay window, opposite a bookshelf that took up an entire wall, and the bookshelf had become empty. The hardcover books, of various editions, were packed into a dozen sorting boxes, stacked in the corners, and soon to be sent to the storeroom. There's also a huge organizer with an open box filled with HelloKitty dolls of all sizes. Next to her were two suitcases that had been sorted out, and she had a lot of clothes, and the two suitcases couldn't fit at all. However, there were only a few things she could bring to school, and throughout the holidays, she put all the flashy clothes and jewelry on Taobao and sold them, leaving only the clothes she usually wore and a few pieces of jewelry that her father bought for her. She knew that she was swept away, but Chu Shengge didn't want her things to be thrown out by others like garbage, even if everything was thrown away, she would take care of it herself.
The old butler walked in with a few servants: "Miss, can these boxes be moved now?" β
"Let's move these boxes to the storage room." Seeing that the originally warm room was gradually emptied, Chu Shengge's heart seemed to be empty all of a sudden, and the cold wind of hunting whistled in his empty chest.
The previous driver of the family knocked on Chu Shengge's door respectfully: "Miss." β
Chu Shengge responded: "Please come in." β
The driver walked in: "Are you going to report to school, can I send you there?" β
"Okay, Uncle Wu, thank you." Chu Shengge nodded.
The driver picked up the two suitcases and walked out, Zhou Jiahui stood at the staircase and glanced at the two suitcases with disdain, and then said proudly: "Lao Wu, I want to go to the Holiday Inn for afternoon tea, and prepare the car immediately." β
Chu Shengge's steps paused, and he whispered to the driver, "You can help me carry the box to the door." She didn't want to embarrass the driver, and she took a taxi to school herself.
The driver stopped and looked at Zhou Jiahui, and said loudly: "Miss Zhou, I resigned with my wife just now, if you want to use the car, just tell your driver." β
Zhou Jiahui was angry and snorted: "If it's not my family's subordinates, just get away, the Zhou family is also a person like you who can come in casually?" β
The driver walked out of the house without saying anything, put Chu Shengge's box into the trunk of a Passat, and said a little crampedly: "My car is not good, so Miss has been wronged." β
"If you hadn't sent me, I'd have had to take a taxi myself." Chu Shengge sat in the car: "It's me who caused trouble to Uncle Wu, in fact, you don't have to resign, the Zhou family also needs a driver." β
"I've been driving in Chu's house for more than 20 years, and although I don't have any big skills, I'm still accurate in seeing people. The family has a bad heart, and it can't do things smoothly if they stay. I'd rather be physically tired than feel comfortable. The driver said as he started the car.
The car started slowly, and the raindrops the size of beans crackled on the car window. Through the rain-blurred car window, Chu Shengge stared at the house that carried all her joy and warmth, and from then on, the shadow garden was still the shadow garden, but it was no longer her home. For the first and last time, I cried because I had left this place, tears came out of my eyes silently, and the house in front of me became even more blurred......
Lu Chenhuan sat on the edge of the bed guarding Chu Shengge, she didn't sleep well, and Juanxiu's eyebrows kept frowning slightly. Lu Chenhuan just wanted to soothe her frowning brows, Chu Shengge closed her eyes, her eyelashes shook like two small fans, and a crystal tear slipped from the corner of her slightly raised eyes and rolled into the pillow under the golden light, leaving a shallow tear stain on her beautiful side face.
Lu Chenhuan's outstretched hand trembled, what was it that made her so sad that she actually shed tears.
"Shengge...... Shengge ......" Lu Chenhuan softly called Chu Shengge's name.
Chu Shengge slowly opened his eyes, and there was no rain-soaked car window in front of him, nor the blurred outline of the shadow garden in the rain and fog. The warm lighting in the room, as well as Lu Chenhuan's affectionate eyes, look so comfortable. She knew she was dreaming, but the dream was so real, so real that her heart was still like a lemon stuffed into it, sour and heavy. Her intuition told her that this was not a simple dream, but a memory that belonged to her, in the form of a dream, like a puzzle of memory, restored to its original place.
Chu Shengge turned sideways and looked at the deep eyes of the dust on the road: "Can you hug me?" β
Lu Chenhuan also lay down, stretched out his hand and rolled Chu Shengge into his arms: "What's wrong?" β
"Will you not want me in the future?" Where there is a dusty road, it is her home. But what if one day, Lu Chenhuan doesn't want her? She would go back to that stormy afternoon, and be homeless again......
"No, it won't." Lu Chenhuan's kiss fell on her wet eyes, her worry was really unnecessary, he would definitely not want her. What he is most afraid of now is that if Chu Shengge recovers his memory, it will be her who doesn't want him: "I will never want you." β
"I'm glad you say that, even though it's written in the book that the oath is only a momentary gaffe, and it's only a matter of time before it becomes a broken word." Chu Shengge hugged Lu Chenhuan's neck and buried her little face in his neck socket, the faint mint aroma on his body made her panicked mood in her dream gradually calm down.
"I'm not going to break my word, and time can't change anything." Lu Chenhuan said firmly.
"I believe in you, at least everything you say now, is sincere."
"Hungry?" Lu Chenhuan looked at the table below, it was almost midnight, but Chu Shengge hadn't eaten dinner yet.
"A little." Chu Shengge's little face was still buried in Lu Chenhuan's arms, and his voice was a little muffled.
"Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Lu Chenhuan held Chu Shengge's little face, as if he was holding the most precious treasure.
"I'll just have a glass of milk." Chu Shengge really didn't want to toss people in the middle of the night.
Lu Chenhuan knew that Chu Shengge didn't like to drink milk, and when she ate breakfast, she didn't want to drink milk: "I'll cook some noodles for you." β
"I'll cook it myself." Chu Shengge got up and combed his hair.
"I'm afraid the noodles I'm cooking are dark dishes?" Lu Chenhuan pinched the bridge of her upturned nose and asked.
"Hmm." Chu Shengge smiled and nodded.
"Am I so untrustworthy?" Lu Chenhuan frowned, "I have to show you how capable your husband is." β
"Wait, I'm going to cook noodles." Lu Chenhuan got up except for the bedroom.
Chu Shengge stared at the ceiling and stayed for a while before changing into loungeclothes and going downstairs. The kitchen was lit up and the range hood was humming slightly. Lu Chenhuan's back was in front of a row of cooking tables, looking very tall and straight.
He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, revealing his strong, sturdy forearms. Grab a small handful of chopped greens from the plate and put them in a boiling pot, stir them slightly with chopsticks, and turn off the heat.
Lu Chenhuan put the noodles into a bowl, brought them to the table with a tray, and beckoned to Chu Shengge, who was standing by the door: "Come and eat noodles." β
Chu Shengge sat down, and the noodles in front of him were very beautiful - the refreshing soup was soaked in thin noodles, green vegetables were dotted with green vegetables, and a poached egg nested on the noodles, although the poached egg was not a beautiful water chestnut shape, but it was chubby and very cute.
Chu Shengge ate the noodles in small bites, but his eyes were hot. Although it is not the first time that Lu Chenhuan has cooked rice for her. Maybe it was the memory just now that was too bitter, and a little warmth at this time could make her fragile heart feel ironed care, and Chu Shengge's tears fell uncontrollably. This time, it's sweet and heartwarming.
"Why are you crying? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Lu Chenhuan hurriedly pulled the tissue and wiped Chu Shengge's tears: "I only know how to change it when you say it." β
Chu Shengge sniffed and whispered, "No, it's my own problem......
Chu Shengge told Lu Chenhuan about her dream just now, and Lu Chenhuan picked her up and put her on his lap: "If you are unhappy, forget about it." β
