✨ CHAPTER 101 ✨
Cheng Rang's sister's name is Cheng You. Before she went to college, Shen Lingzhi was taken by Cheng Rang to meet this sister and have several meals. Like Cheng Rang, Cheng You is a gentle and easy-going person, tall and full of temperament, with a simple chiffon shirt, high-waisted wide-leg trousers, and a shoulder-length black and straight, gentle and elegant air.
Cheng You saw the girl holding a large bouquet of roses and thought it was Cheng Rang's suitor. She was afraid of disturbing her brother's rest, and afraid of being misunderstood by his brother's girlfriend who saw this scene, so he blocked the door and asked softly and politely first, " Are you A Rang's friend?"
Shen Lingzhi was extremely glad that he was wearing a mask.
"I'm Cheng Rang's girlfriend."
Cheng You was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept across the delicate rose again, the words on the card were extremely ambiguous.
Shen Lingzhi quickly explained, "I rescued a person in the sea this morning, and this was given to me as a thank you gift."
Cheng You smiled, took a step forward, and gently closed the door, "I am Arang him. Sister, just call my sister like him. Arang just fell asleep, let's not disturb him for now, how about you accompany me to a coffee nearby?"
Gu Dong, she swallowed.
What should come will always come.
Although he knew that Cheng You had a gentle temperament, he still felt inexplicably uneasy about the tribunal.
On the way to the coffee shop, Shen Lingzhi met a staff member of Liu Shaofan's team, shoved the roses and the box into each other's arms, and said, "Tell the Six Gods for me, the kindness I received, the flowers You should keep the diamonds for your girlfriend." Then he ran away.
Shen Lingzhi was taken into a chic and elegant open-air cafe by Cheng You.
After being seated, Cheng You smiled, "I still don't know what your name is?"
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Cheng ... Zhi, Qionglin Yuzhi's Zhi." She made a nonsense name in a hurry.
"Cheng Zhi, Orange Juice, it's such a cute name." Cheng You smiled, "No wonder Arang has a girlfriend, they're engaged, and they hide it from me, just look at your eyes and you'll know you're beautiful and smart. Girl, is it convenient to take off the mask? I haven't had a good look at you yet."
Shen Lingzhi was about to break out in a cold sweat.
"I'm sorry, I accidentally had allergies in the past two days, and I really can't see people. I'll officially visit my sister when I recover."
Hearing this, Cheng You thoughtfully asked her to pay more attention to her body, and didn't mention the mask.
Fortunately, she had a cold and her voice was a little nasal, and Cheng You did not recognize her deity.
The topic naturally returned to Cheng Rang, "I was really shocked when I received the call from the hospital. I happened to be on a business trip in Liang'an City, so I came over quickly. After A Rang heard that you had an accident, he went into the water as soon as possible. Looking for you, it can be seen that he is very interested in you. Do you know? He is actually a little afraid of water."
Cheng You talked about their childhood.
They grew up in a very discordant family. Cheng's father was addicted to alcohol and gambling, and had a serious tendency to violence. The whole family became his punching bag. He was often pushed into the pool by Cheng's father and almost suffocated several times.
The reasons for his beatings were varied and high-sounding, and most of them scolded Cheng's mother.
"Looking at the two money-losing things you gave birth to, you know every day that you eat, drink, and lax, and I don't have enough blood for them to suck!" 94. Growing up to pick up garbage? I took so much money from Lao Tzu to feed these two dogs, so I made such a piece of shit?
"Don't you, cry again and I'll beat you to death!"
Cheng Rang was taught from a young age to be a man in the sky and protect his mother and sister. Malnourished and very thin.
Their temperament has been inherited from their mother, and they don't know how to hate.
The father is angry because he does not do well.
Since realizing this, Cheng Rang began to restrain himself, keep improving, and strive to become a perfect person. Only when he becomes better will his father like him, he will not be angry, and he will not always beat them.
Finally, once, Cheng's mother was beaten to death.
It was a moonlit night with few stars. Every household was brightly lit, with the sound of TV, laughter, and liveliness intertwined. Only the Cheng family was as quiet as a solitary tomb. Cheng’s father was sitting on the ground in a daze with a broken wine bottle, his pupils dilated. , The smell of alcohol filled the air, Mother Cheng was like a puppet with a broken thread, lying on the floor that had just been mopped and cleaned today, the white silk in the show was stained with excessively fresh blood.
The dazzling incandescent light exposes the scene to the fullest.
Cheng You hid in the corner, covering her mouth and crying heart-to-heart.
The only thing she was fortunate at that time was that her younger brother Cheng Rang participated in the school's five-day military training and did not witness this terrible scene.
At dawn, Cheng's father was taken away by the police and never came back.
Later, it is said that he offended the prison wardens and was beaten to death.
The Cheng siblings were sent to be raised by their grandparents.
Cheng You dared not tell his younger brother and his mother the fact that his father was beaten to death, so he moved his mother's clothes and daily necessities to his grandparents' house, and lied to him that his mother went to work in a faraway place and could not go home often or make phone calls. He can eat and learn to sleep obediently every day without worrying his mother.
Cheng Rang really made himself more and more perfect, and his grades were stable in the top three in the grade.
Just when Cheng You was pleased that her brother was self-reliant and independent, unlike children of the same age who depended on his mother, she found a large pile of mother's clothes in her brother's wardrobe. She was startled and hurriedly asked Cheng Rang. He opened a pair of lonely eyes and replied softly, only when his mother's things were stored beside him could he feel that his mother did not leave, and he could feel at ease.
Seeing things and thinking about feelings is not a novel way of thinking.
It was also the first time that Cheng You knew that his brother missed his mother so much and felt so insecure.
In this way, year after year, Cheng Rang became more and more mature. Cheng You felt that he already knew that his mother was in trouble, but he never asked, the wardrobe still had his mother's clothes, like a kind of spiritual sustenance.
Later, Cheng Rang skipped grades to be admitted to university and moved out of his home.
Cheng You thought that the story of using her mother's clothes to gain a sense of security was just a turn of the page. It wasn't until she entered Cheng Rang's apartment and found another collection of women's clothes in his room that she knew that he had rooted this habit into his soul. .
"He had a crush on a girl at the time, because the girl was still in school, and he kept holding back until she grew up. But because he liked that girl too much, he had nowhere to put his feelings on, so he had to collect the books and exam papers used by the girl. clothes, just like when he put his mother's clothes in his wardrobe back then, as if the girl was by his side, living with him."
Cheng You said this and sighed, "It's just that the girl didn't wait for Aran to confess. I just passed away."
She looked at the tearful girl in front of her, with tender brows and eyes like Cheng Rang, "I'm very glad that he met you and got out of that sadness. A Rang is a long-term lover who likes If you can open your heart to accept him, you will live a very happy life."
Shen Lingzhi covered her wet eyes in embarrassment, her heart felt sore and painful as if rubbed by a hand.
It turned out that there is no cohabitation of first love.
His heart is her, and the clothes in the closet are also her.
She could hardly imagine that the man who used to have a gentle smile stared at her clothes with a lonely face.
"Why did you tell me this?"
Cheng You handed her a tissue, "Aren't you two making trouble? With Arang's character, it's impossible to leave the girl you like aside on the first day of vacation and run to make a temporary marriage proposal. ceremony."
----
✨ CHAPTER 102 ✨
Shen, Lingzhi was about to decline, he handed the booklet in his hand to her, "I'm the person in charge of the night wedding studio, the new store opened yesterday, this is a sample photo I made myself. And the wedding photo album in the store, if you are interested, we can sit and chat." He pointed to a drink shop next to him.
Shen Lingzhi casually flipped through a few times out of courtesy, but he was really attracted by the sample pictures and the wedding dresses in their shop.
She followed the man into the drink shop, each ordered juice and sat down.
"Where is your store, why don't you take me directly to the studio?"
"It's in the suburbs. The rent in prime locations is expensive."
"I want to start shooting as soon as possible, do you have time tomorrow?"
"Miss, you are the first customer of Night Studios, with a discount, you can design a wedding dress for you for free."
Call a fly. At this time, the juice is served. Two people, you look at me, I look at you, no one moved.
In the summer of 35 degrees Celsius, two young people who also wore masks, sunglasses, and caps sat face to face in a cool room with air conditioning turned on. Not to mention how weird. What secret agent meeting is going on.
"I have solar dermatitis."
"What a coincidence, my skin is allergic." Then the honey was silent for three seconds.
It is still Shen Lingzhi who takes off the mask first and sucks on the straw. It's not a city, and it's a stranger, so it doesn't matter if he shows his face. Because the atmosphere was inexplicably embarrassing, she sucked half a cup at once.
The man pushed his juice in front of her. she was flattered and waved her hand, "No, you drink, you drink."
The man seemed to be observing her through his sunglasses, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Are you taking a wedding photo with Xie Mu?"
"Cough cough"
Shen Lingzhi blushed from coughing and had a thick neck. The man handed over a tissue and followed with a smile, "Congratulations, you finally succeeded in your cultivation. Just so, I have a suit here that matches Xie Mu's figure. it must suit you well."
"No, you misunderstood."
Shen Lingzhi coughed badly, and a lot of questions were stuck in his mouth, but he could only say these words. The man was still laughing, "Misunderstanding? You don't like Xie very much. Mu? Isn't it because of thanking Mu for not marrying? How could it be a misunderstanding?"
Shen Lingzhi only felt a surge of blood rushing to the sky, turning his brain upside down.
Only some friends around her before college knew about her and Xie Mu.
How did he know about her and Xie Mu?
He knew her?
He recognized her?! ! Shiyu Team Goldfish Sauce exclusively organized since she recognized why he was still doing this, so calmly chatting and laughing with her?
Shen Lingzhi stared at him, wanting to see why, but only saw his terrified reflection in the pair of sunglasses.
"You've got the wrong person." She forced her composure.
"Don't pretend, I know you're not dead."
His words were like a sap, knocking her into a daze, "You, who are you?
"I'm Xie Mu's friend, you haven't answered me, what are you doing with Xie Mu? Could it be a misunderstanding?"
Seeing this terrifying and sudden change in the style of painting, Shen Lingzhi really wanted to run away, but looking at the man's appearance, he seemed to already know about her resurrection, but he was particularly concerned about her and Xie Mu's affairs. keen.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, after thinking about it, he still replied, "Xie Mu went to study in country m, and he hasn't contacted me for three years. It is impossible for us to be together in this situation."
Then he asked, "If I said that he had already come back and been looking for you, would you return to his embrace?"
----
✨ CHAPTER 103 ✨
So the next day, they got up early, washed and ate, and got into the car.
Shen Lingzhi was worried about him and wanted to call for a driver, but Cheng Rang said with a smile that it was only a 40-minute drive, and it would arrive soon, so she didn't insist.
If she had known that something would go wrong on this short journey, she would never have let him drive.
They didn't know that the soy milk for breakfast was being manipulated.
Shen Lingzhi sat in the driver's seat, groggy, and fell asleep after a while.
Cheng Rang's situation is not much better, his eyelids are as heavy as a thousand jins, his mind is chaotic, and he is completely supported by willpower.
He understood that something would happen sooner or later, and he wanted to park the car on the side of the road.
Unexpectedly, it was completely useless to brake down with one foot.
Cheng Rang's consciousness recovered a little, he gritted his teeth, drowsiness and reason were tugging back and forth in his brain, which made him even more exhausted.
There can be no accident, Zhizhi is still in his car, he can't let her hurt again.
Two dazzling lights flashed in front of me, and a car came in the opposite direction.
The distance was too close, and Cheng Rang had no time to turn the steering wheel. With a loud bang, the two cars inevitably collided.
Cheng Rang was lying on the airbag, and with the last bit of consciousness, he reached out to the sleeping girl beside him, trying to touch her face and hold her hand to see if she was okay. He panicked for no reason, always feeling that the girl around him was about to disappear completely. But when Kankan touched her soft fingertips, his mind suddenly collapsed, and he fell into bottomless darkness.
A black cat jumped from the back seat to the front row, with sea-blue cat eyes staring at the girl's sleepy face.
The accident was not serious, and Cheng Rang was only slightly injured.
When he woke up, he was already lying on the snow-white hospital bed, with only his sister Cheng You by his side.
His heart tightened, and he immediately stood up, "Where's Zhizhi?"
"You said Cheng Zhi?" Cheng You's voice was gentle, "Don't worry, she's fine."
Cheng Rang lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but Cheng You hurriedly pulled him, "The doctor said you should pay more attention to rest, don't move around."
"I want to see her, where is she?"
Cheng You pursed her lips, silent.
Cheng Rang suppressed the panic that spread in his heart, and his voice became a little deeper, "Sister, tell me where she is?"
Cheng You sighed, "I didn't meet her when I came, it is said that the location of your car accident is a dead end for surveillance. the driver of the car is drunk and willing to bear all the losses. You are not seriously injured, so it is reasonable to say that you are lucky. But the bad thing is that when you were taken to the hospital, the doctor confused you with another seriously injured patient. Cheng Zhi heard what the doctor said, thought you would be hemiplegia, and then put down the ring and left."
The quiet breathing sounded flowing in the ward.
Only then did Cheng Rang notice the exquisite and delicate objects on the bedside table, which quietly reflected the light, accidentally stinging his eyes.
When he got it in his hand, the ring had already lost the temperature of its owner, and it was extremely cold.
At this time, Cheng Rang could still make a calm judgment: he did not believe that Zhizhi was such a person. During the Marathon terrorist attack, even in the face of bloody strangers, she would do her best to help the medical staff. how could he listen to the doctor's words, and easily leave him silently and leave.
Unless, unless the car accident woke her sleeping memory.
He trembled all over, and the good memories of the past were like needles smeared with honey, piercing his chest fiercely.
How sweet it was in the past, how painful it is now.
She was still in his arms in the early morning, hugging and kissing him intimately, and now it was like waking up from a dream, she left without hesitation.
Cheng You saw that her always gentle brother suddenly clenched the ring in silence, losing the calm and self-control he used to have, and he flung her hand away and was about to rush out.
"Arang, Arang, you should have a good rest first, if there is anything you can talk about slowly!"
"I'm going to find her!"
She may resent him and hate him, but she is more likely to commit suicide all of a sudden, as before.
When she wakes up, she will definitely go to her brother's hospital.
He can't lose her, he can't let anything happen to her!
----
✨ CHAPTER 104 ✨
"But he has a reaction to your name." Wen Xiang took her hand, like a life-saving straw. Restoring his memory, he will definitely recover! Aunt Xiang, please, help him, okay?"
Shen Lingzhi opened his lips, not knowing what to do for a while.
Stay, she knows the meaning of these three words.
Live in Xie's house, stay by Xie Mu's side, and help him find his past memories.
The Xie family helped her and her brother a lot when she was a child. Now the Xie family needs her, and she should agree to it.
But now, she has Cheng Rang.
She had to consider Cheng Rang's feelings, and rashly lived in her ex-fiance's house, any man would feel at ease.
Seeing Shen Lingzhi's embarrassment and hesitation, Wen Xiang burst into tears, but she held back the trembling in her throat and suppressed her crying, "Frankly, the moment I learned that Mr. Cheng injured Xiao Mu, I really wanted to sue. He. But as a mother, I don't really want to punish anyone, I just want Xiaomu to be healthy. I am just this child, and I will never have another child. When I see my child, even my mother doesn't recognize it, you know me How sad in my heart."
This woman, who was always dignified and elegant in front of outsiders, knelt in front of the junior's bed for her son's embarrassment.
Tears wet her plain makeup, and fine lines appeared on the corners of her eyes and brows, filled with painful and heart-wrenching pain.
"Aunt Xiang, don't get excited, I didn't say that I wouldn't help, but I just wanted to tell Cheng Rang first."
after all, he is now mine and my ex-fiancé's mother said that she has a fiancé, which is really hard to say. Fortunately , Wen Xiang did not extend the topic at this point, "The doctor is kind, I believe Mr. Cheng will not refuse. What's more, he is now facing a high price claim and is in trouble, as long as you can stay and help Xiaomu for a month. , No matter whether Xiaomu recovers or not in a month, I can guarantee that the Xie family will help Mr. Cheng get through this difficult time."
Wen Xiang's words were sincere, moved with affection, and understood with reason.
He knelt down in front of her again so humbly.
Facing the elders who had helped take care of her, she had neither the strength to resist nor the slightest doubt, and finally nodded.
On Cheng Rang's side, she also asked Wen Xiang to tell Cheng Rang not to let Cheng Rang know that she was at Xie's house, so she said she was traveling.
She didn't want Cheng Rang to think that she was selling herself to help him.
However, Shen Lingzhi didn't know that these words would never reach Cheng Rang's ears.
Wen Xiang came out of Shen Lingzhi's room, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then hurried across the corridor to another room.
Compared to Shen Lingzhi's well-lit room, the light here was so dark that it seemed to ooze cold air.
The man stood in front of the bookshelf, with a thin and tall figure, and was quietly flipping through the previous albums with his eyes down.
In almost every page of photos, he can see a familiar and cute smiling face. Shen Lingzhi.
His fingertips rubbed the corner of the girl's lips.
Wen Xiang stood behind the man, "Zhizhi promised to stay, Xiaomu. As long as you can stay at Xie's house, as long as you can remember our family, as long as you are healthy, Mom will do anything for you."
Including fake car accidents.
Including unscrupulous weaving of lies and leaving branches behind.
The man leaned over and looked at Wen Xiang for a few seconds before a hoarse and stiff voice overflowed his throat, "Thank you, Mom."
He spoke without emotion, as if he was reciting a code name.
Wen Xiang covered his mouth and cried.
She tilted her head and wiped it away. She wiped away her tears and pushed the wheelchair behind the man, "Xiao Mu, sit down quickly, if you want to let Zhizhi drop her guard, you need to play softer."
-----
✨ CHAPTER 105 ✨
Xie Mu didn't plan to see Shen Lingzhi now.
He hadn't used human vocal cords for too long, and he also felt that his voice was a bit strange. He wanted to moisten his throat, practice in the room for another day, and then go to a formal confrontation with her.
At dinner time, the servants brought nutritious dishes to the living room, put away the tray and left.
Xie's house is a specially designed new Chinese-style courtyard villa. There are three courtyards and a back garden. Each courtyard is fully functional, with a master bedroom, a second bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Some time ago, now, the Xie family moved back here in order to restore Xie Mu's memory.
Xie Mu had a withdrawn personality and liked tranquility since he was a child, so he arranged for him to live in a courtyard alone. As long as he did not stay in this courtyard, he could not meet other people all day long, which was considered to create a quiet and comfortable space for him to recuperate.
But tonight, in order to avoid meeting with Shen Lingzhi, he stayed in the courtyard of Xie's father and Xie's mother for the time being.
Wen Xiang knew that his son didn't like to communicate too much, so he reluctantly left the room after reading more.
Xie Mu listened to the sound of footsteps and walked away, and after a long while, he sat down at the table. The chopsticks were still not easy to use, and the spoon was also making it hard. He was so annoyed that he turned into a cat. The black and bright blue-eyed cat broke free from the soft clothes and jumped onto the table. The sharp cat claws skillfully poked the potato chips into their mouths, and chewed slowly.
While eating, pay attention to the movement outside the door.
The woman who claimed to be his mother cried when she saw him transformed into a cat.
His forehead hurts when he hears a woman cry.
Is he ugly? One or two cats who saw him reacted so strangely, especially that stupid woman!
When Xie Mu thought of Shen Lingzhi's expression when he saw his cat and shouted a ghost, his stomach became furious.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he wiped a selfie with his mobile phone, got dressed and called a maid to see it.
When the maid saw that the young master of the Xie family, who was withdrawn and never spoke, called her for the first time, her calf trembled with fright. As a result, when she got closer, it was a close-up of a magnified round face of a black cat, and the angle of the shooting was extremely strange. From bottom to top, the black cat's sweet and pink nostrils are particularly eye-catching.
"Is this cat good-looking?"
"Good-looking, good-looking..." The maid smiled conscientiously.
Xie Mu asked several servants one after another, and got the same answer without any accident, and then pushed the wheelchair back to the room with satisfaction.
Sure enough, it was the stupid woman who didn't understand appreciation.
At night, Xie Mu couldn't sleep.
He is still very unfamiliar with this so-called "home".
As long as he can remember, he has been a cat with a mission. In the words of the elders, he has lived through calamities. This stupid woman is indeed a disaster, he admits, so from the beginning he has devoted 120,000 efforts to deal with it.
No one told him where he came from.
He only thinks that he has no father, no mother, no support, and the world is home.
He couldn't understand the love-hate relationship between Shen Lingzhi and other men, and sneered.
Until, he was taken away by Shen Lingzhi's brother, and a group photo of a teenager and Shen Lingzhi appeared in a stack of photos.
The boy looked exactly like him.
He was immediately aroused and tried to ask around. Only then did he know that the young man in the photo was named Xie Mu, who had disappeared from people's sight for three years. He was the man Shen Lingzhi told the world he liked the most, and they also signed a marriage contract.
He also went to the Xie family for this disguise, which caused a shock from the Xie family.
Everyone believes that he is Xie Mu, who has been missing for a long time.
Whether it is appearance, voice, tone of voice, or the soul in the body, they all fit perfectly.
The Xie family is a well-known Taoist family.
But he had no impression of the flowers and trees of the Xie family, nor was he mentally prepared, so he fled from the Xie family first.
However, he was unexpectedly interested in the woman who everyone said liked him very much.
He subconsciously re-examined Shen Lingzhi, and being liked by a woman in such a high-profile manner was undoubtedly very mysterious and pleasant, as light as walking on clouds. He began to rummage through her things in the house where she lived with her brother, watching the personal life discs her brother had recorded for her in the past, and taking photos of her when she was a child... He was full of curiosity about her, wondering how she liked her so much Own?
Gradually, however, he realized that his mood had changed.
Seeing the intimate photo of her and her brother, he had an unspeakable sullen mood for no reason, as if something that belonged to him had been snatched away by life, he smashed the photo of her and her brother to vent his emotions , but was also put into a cat cage by her brother. He also felt that he was crazy at the time, forcing himself to cultivate himself and not thinking about anything, but when he saw that she and Cheng Rang were officially dating you, the unspeakable emotion buried deep in his heart completely exploded.
This stupid woman not only forgot the cat, but wanted to marry that stinky man Cheng Rang, and said she hated him!
You said you like Xie Mu the most? What about the marriage contract with him?
Are you feeding the dog?
If you hate black cats, right, then he will turn into a man and teach her what it means to do what he says and keep his promises.
If you don't teach this stupid woman well, he won't be called Ye Pian.
At the other end, Shen Lingzhi sneezed fiercely.
She thought she would be able to see Xie Mu the next day, but Wen Xiang personally came to tell her that Xie Mu was unwell today and had to rest in bed for another day. When she heard it, she felt even more sad for Aunt Xiang.
On the third day, she woke up to the sound of pruning.
A man in a wheelchair, with scissors in hand, is carefully trimming a flower arrangement in a vase.
His profile features are graceful, his facial features are elegant, his lips are as bright as manjusha, and his eyes are as clear as obsidian when bathed in sunlight. His complexion is pale and transparent, and the blue blood vessels floating under the epidermis can be clearly seen.
Beauty!
A few words popped into Shen Lingzhi's mind instantly.
Unexpectedly, after seeing him for three years, Xie Mu's appearance was more noble and attractive than his youth.
It's not unreasonable for her to become childhood sweethearts with him, he is so beautiful.
The man seemed to hear something, his face darkened, and with a snort, the gorgeous and blooming gerbera was cut off by the calyx.
Shen Lingzhi was extremely surprised when he stared at the innocent gerbera that rolled on the ground.
She clearly remembered that his flower arrangement skills were good, but he didn't even remember this?
"Xie Mu..."
"Are you Zhizhi?"
His and her voices overlapped. It was obvious that her voice was louder, but his cold and hoarse voice covered her strangely.
She nodded, "I'm Shen Lingzhi."
He looked at her with a strange, alienated look, and he really couldn't remember it at all.
Shen Lingzhi felt a little sad in his heart.
Xie Mu scrutinized her for a long while, with the same expression as he used to watch when he was arranging flowers, his red lips opened and closed, "I heard that you like me very much?"
