Chapter 38 The Dark One

There was a slight change in Song Xueying's gaze when she looked at Chu Yan, and she knew that Chu Yan was no ordinary person.

"We used to meet on the way to school, and he would queue up to buy breakfast for me. My favorite was the set meal of taro paste and pork floss buns and soy milk. He remembered what I liked to eat."

"But there were too many people on the street, so we didn't dare to hold hands. We only held hands quietly when we walked into an alley with fewer people."

"The place we go to most often for dates is the library...if studying together can be considered a date."

"When he took me to the amusement park, I was very happy. We played from morning till dark, and then we would make plans for the next time."

"He's very busy, but he always makes time for me."

"So that's probably why I fell in love with him."

Gu Chuan stopped on the stairs, staring at Chu Yan's back in a daze. He forgot the time and place, and seemed to have forgotten his breathing and heartbeat. There was only her existence in his eyes. At this moment, her figure overlapped with the eighteen-year-old girl in his memory.

When Chu Yan "accidentally" met him on the way to school, her eyes lit up and she ran over with a smile.

In the library, Chu Yan would occasionally "accidentally" lean on him under the pretext of taking a nap.

And that day at the amusement park at night, they watched the bright fireworks bloom into gorgeous flowers. In the flickering lights, they held hands, and he lowered his head uncontrollably and kissed her forehead.

Then she raised her eyes and their gaze met his. The eighteen-year-old boy and girl both blushed secretly.

Did she remember?
Gu Chuan's heart, which had seemed to have stopped just now, suddenly started beating violently again. He took a step forward uncontrollably, his eyes fixed on her, and the distance between them was getting smaller and smaller.

"But these are what Shen Xing told me." Chu Yan's beautiful eyes showed some confusion, "I don't remember what he said."

Song Xueying was puzzled, "No impression?"

What does it mean?
Chu Yan smiled quickly, "But it doesn't matter if you don't remember these things, because even if I don't remember those things, I just like Shen Xing now."

Gu Chuan's figure froze at the last step. Perhaps it was the hostility of same-sex repulsion that reminded him. He raised his eyes and looked towards the aisle not far away. He saw a figure hiding in the dark.

It’s Shen Xing.

Chu Yan's smile became much brighter. "When I woke up in the hospital, I saw Shen Xing for the first time and thought he was some bad boy. But the doctors and nurses told me that he jumped into the water to save me after I fell into the water, regardless of the danger. He also stayed by my side in the hospital for a long time without sleep. He was very familiar to me, but I didn't remember him. To be honest, I feel a little guilty."

She smiled, "But Shen Xing is really nice. He remembers every one of my preferences. He is afraid that I will be lonely, so he will find ways to let me meet my old friends. Not only my friends, but also his good friends. I know all his friends. His friends are very friendly, and his family is also very friendly."

"For a while, he was really busy, but he was afraid that I would worry, so he would tell me what he was going to do before leaving home every day. If he had to work overtime at night, he would call me and tell me to go to bed early."

Chu Yan was a little embarrassed. "What I said seemed to be some small things, not as grand as what Mr. Gu did to you, Miss Song. Maybe you find it funny."

Song Xueying still hadn't figured it out yet, so she subconsciously replied, "No..."

Chu Yan asked: "Mr. Gu must be very busy at work. If he comes home late at night, he should not forget to call you."

Song Xueying: "No."

Chu Yan smiled brightly, "Some people will definitely find these details annoying after a long time, and sometimes they may forget them, but Mr. Gu always remembers these details, so I say Mr. Gu must love you very much."

There was something called happiness on Chu Yan's peaceful face, "Shen Xing must love me too." Gu Chuan's throat tightened, his body tensed, and a confusion that he was not aware of gradually emerged in his black eyes.

He just suddenly remembered that he didn't know when he started to use overtime as an excuse to avoid going home. He used to report everything to Chu Yan, but after her desire for control gradually became stronger, he began to feel disgusted with reporting his whereabouts to her, and then she became more and more hysterical.

They seemed to be stuck in a vicious circle.

Now seeing the happy Chu Yan, he suddenly realized that what Chu Yan had always wanted was a sense of security.

but why?
Why could he make such a big fuss with the Gu family just for Song Xueying?
But he didn't even want to answer a call from Chu Yan.

Because he didn't want Song Xueying to have wild thoughts like Chu Yan on the nights when he didn't come home, he remembered to call Song Xueying every time.

Because he didn't want Song Xueying to not receive his messages, and not suspect that he had another woman outside like Chu Yan did and have a big fight with him, so he would always pay attention to the messages sent by Song Xueying.

Because he didn't want Song Xueying to be rejected by her parents and become as mean and prickly as Chu Yan, thus ruining this beautiful relationship, he insisted on making his parents accept Song Xueying's existence.

He thought that the end of his seven-year relationship was the result of problems between him and Chu Yan. Just as many people said, they were indeed not suitable for each other.

However, now he suddenly realized something terrible.

Chu Yan was abandoned by him.

He was the only culprit who ended those seven years.

Gu Chuan met Shen Xing's eyes again.

The blond young man raised his eyes. Unlike the darkness in Gu Chuan's eyes, there were sparks of light in Shen Xing's eyes, as if someone had lit up the field in Shen Xing's life. The little spark she brought eventually became a prairie fire that set his life on fire.

Gu Chuan is on the ladder, he is the superior.

Shen was walking in the dim corridor, he was supposed to be a shadowy hider.

But now, everything is turned upside down.

Song Xueying was in a trance for a long time and couldn't help asking: "You said you don't remember the past... Did you lose your memory?"

Chu Yan nodded calmly, "Yes."

She was not confused or uneasy. Instead, she felt fulfilled. Every morning when she opened her eyes was a happy start of the day for her.

The only person who can make her feel at ease is Shen Xing.

"Okay, cousin." Shen Xing came over with the medicine, approached Chu Yan from behind, bent down, put his arm on Chu Yan's shoulders, hugged her, and grinned, "Yan Yan is very happy now. Just forget about the things in the past. If she remembers something unhappy, I will have to spend time to comfort her."

Chu Yan looked up at him, "Don't you want to coax me?"

Shen Xing immediately said: "Of course not, I was just joking, just joking!"

Song Xueying suddenly saw Gu Chuan. Gu Chuan was silent, like a ghost who had lost his life. Song Xueying was startled, but when she looked at Chu Yan again, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind:
As long as Chu Yan doesn’t remember what happened in the past, will she not come to snatch Gu Chuan away?
