Chapter 283 Amnesia
"Classmate Zhu Zhixue is here, why are you always in a daze?" At the dinner table, Chen Lanying patted Li Zhuangsheng.
"Oh...what are you talking about?" Li Zhuangsheng raised his head.
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Xiuyu glanced at him. Compared to usual, she was particularly calm today. She did not show any welcome to Zhu Zhixue, but she did not exclude or show any hostility. She ate her meal by herself, and everything had nothing to do with her.
"Nothing." Li Zhuangsheng laughed dryly and shook his head.
After dinner, Chen Lanying talked to Zhu Zhixue, who was amused and laughed. Li Minghua accompanied them and occasionally said a few words in a friendly manner.
Li Zhuangsheng took the opportunity to walk into Li Xiuyu's room: "Hey, I heard that Hu Mengdie seemed to have had a car accident!"
"What?" Li Xiuyu was shocked. "Is she okay?"
"It doesn't seem to be a serious matter. You can call and ask... I heard that he is still in the hospital. Can you go and see him in the afternoon?" Li Zhuangsheng's eyes flickered.
"Are you going too?"
"I won't go there yet. You go and take a look first."
Li Xiuyu nodded, then lowered his head and dialed the phone: "Okay, I got it... I'll call her now..."
Li Zhuangsheng sat by the bed, silently waiting for Li Xiuyu and Hu Mengdie to talk, but at this time, Li Minghua walked in and pulled Li Zhuangsheng up unhappily: "Why are you hiding here, leaving a little girl outside alone!"
Helplessly, Li Zhuangsheng had to follow Li Minghua to the living room, sit next to Zhu Zhixue, and silently hold her warm hand.
Zhu Zhixue smiled and quietly inserted her fingers between Li Zhuangsheng's fingers. Chen Lanying noticed this small action, but just smiled and pretended not to see it.
In the evening, Chen Lanying wanted to take Zhu Zhixue shopping. She already knew Zhu Zhixue's family background, so she didn't mention it much, but felt pity for her.
She didn't know about Li Zhuangsheng's rebirth, but she knew that Zhu Zhixue gave him two pieces of gold. She scolded Li Minghua and his son for accepting other people's things. Putting aside his official status, he shouldn't be so careless.
Li Zhuangsheng explained that he was worried that the gold would be taken away by Zhu's father, or that it would be stolen by a thief in their house, so he was just keeping it for safekeeping... Chen Lanying reluctantly accepted it.
However, Zhu Zhixue is innocent and pretty, and Chen Lanying likes her very much. Of course, the most important thing is that even though Zhu Zhixue has such a family background, she has good grades and is a self-reliant person. At present, she is indeed a good daughter-in-law.
As long as Li Zhuangsheng likes her, she is willing to accept her as her daughter-in-law. Moreover, this is quite safe.
"Are you guys going out? Well, I'm going out too, so you can drive me there!" Li Xiu Yu walked out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Chen Lanying asked.
"I'm going to the county hospital!"
"Go to the county hospital? What's wrong with you?"
"I have a friend who is in the hospital, and I just happened to go see her."
Li Zhuangsheng glanced at Li Xiuyu and said nothing.
It was already very late when Li Zhuangsheng came back with Chen Lanying. He walked towards Li Xiuyu's room and knocked on the door.
"How is Hu Mengdie?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.
"She... has lost her memory." Li Xiuyu sighed, with a somewhat dejected look on his face.
"Is it……"
"you know?"
"I also heard that he lost his memory." "Ah...it seems that he has lost all his memories after National Day. It was some September..."
Li Xiuyu lay on the bed and lamented: "She has completely forgotten me."
Li Zhuangsheng deliberately asked, "Aren't you good friends? How could she not remember you?"
"They said he had lost his memory. We didn't even play together at that time!"
"Then get back together. You two were good friends before, so you can be good friends now!"
"Having said that, I felt like she was a little cold towards me today... not really cold, but just, how should I put it... unfamiliar!"
Li Xiuyu sighed. It had been several days since she last listened to the sweet future of "brother and sister CP" that Hu Mengdie had imagined for her.
Logically speaking, even if Hu Mengdie had lost her memory, based on the time calculation, she would come to see her within a few days...so why was he so cold?
Is it because she doesn't know at this time that she and Li Zhuangsheng are "not biological siblings" and therefore hasn't yet shipped them as a couple? Or should she remind them next time?
Why is God so cruel that he is about to make me lose my only confidant in this world!
"rusty……"
It's normal to be unfamiliar with each other. If you weren't your sister-in-law... you two would have had little in common.
However, if Hu Mengdie really lost her memory, and she knew that she and Li Xiuyu were good friends during the period of her memory loss, they would continue to be friends in the future, but their relationship would probably not be as good as before.
Car accident... amnesia... isn't this just a coincidence! I almost thought this was some new trick!
But what if it was true? That would be so unfortunate. Not only did I lose the memories of the past four or five months... I confessed to a boy I didn't like at all for no reason, and was dumped... I also sent him breakfast for a long time... This is too embarrassing!
What’s more, she’s gone from having a virginity… Oh, it’s been so long, she probably doesn’t know that she’s gone from having a virginity… No, think about it, Hu Mengdie seems to be even more miserable!
If she really lost her memory.
"Why are you sighing?" Li Xiuyu said, "You're not in love with her, are you? Didn't you reject her before? If you like her, I can introduce her to you!"
"You just want to separate Zhu Zhixue and me, right?" Li Zhuangsheng said angrily.
"What are you talking about! Since you are going to find a girlfriend, you might as well find one I like!" Li Xiuyu said confidently.
"What? My girlfriend was found for you?"
"We will be a family in the future, and this will be conducive to family harmony!"
Li Zhuangsheng chuckled twice and thought to himself, when I wasn't with Zhu Zhixue, I didn't see you so enthusiastic about introducing Hu Mengdie to me. You are a bad guy!
"Am I wrong? You don't like Zhu Zhixue!" Li Xiuyu said.
"Who said I don't like it? I said I volunteered!" Li Zhuangsheng glared.
Li Xiuyu said calmly: "But I feel like you're in a difficult situation, and even a little afraid of her."
Li Zhuangsheng was speechless for a moment, and shook his head after a while: "Why should I be afraid of her?"
"Anyway, it's not a normal relationship. You can see that her eyes are very complicated, as if she is pretending to love her very much."
"You..." Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself, are you the worm in my stomach?
His feelings for Zhu Zhixue were indeed complicated. He liked her, but they were mixed with many other emotions, including guilt, fear, and self-mockery... They were not pure, not at all.
He wanted to love her wholeheartedly, but she was too timid.
Especially since Zhu Zhixue showed him her tattoo today. He didn't hate the narrow vertical letters, but he remembered the slave owners in the past who would carve marks on their slaves... and Zhu Zhixue did it voluntarily.
It was like a dog tag with the owner's information engraved on it... She put a dog tag on herself and put a chain on herself. Li Zhuangsheng was her master.
