Chapter 355: Chapter 354: Do I Remember Him? (14)
Dong Xin Yan didn’t want to worry him, instinctively wanting to shake her head, but halfway through, some images floated in her mind. Her eyes flickered slightly with light, and she pressed her lips together, feeling somewhat hesitant.
Cheng Ziyang looked at her expression, extended his hand, and pulled her to sit on the sofa. His voice still carried a bit of hoarseness, but his tone was as gentle as ever, "Is something wrong?"
Dong Xin Yan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn’t suppress the confusion in her heart. She slowly lifted her gaze and looked at Cheng Ziyang, her red lips parted, speaking each word carefully, "Ziyang, when I was eighteen, I lost two months of memory after falling into the water. I used to think nothing special happened during those two months, but... it seems that wasn’t the case."
Dong Xin Yan furrowed her brows, recalling everything from the dream earlier. Although she couldn’t see the young man’s face or determine who he was, the handsome, ill-tempered, blind young man appeared at the time when she was eighteen, easily matching with someone.
Gu Ningyi.
It was the same year he got into a car accident and went blind, and his looks and temperament were exactly the same, even... he kept asking her about things from that year.
As Dong Xin Yan thought about it, her brow furrowed tighter, and she spoke, unsure, "Ziyang, do you think he is in my memory?"
Is her lost memory related to Gu Ningyi? Was the dream she had something from her past with Gu Ningyi?
But... how could that be possible? She hated him so much back then; how could she have stayed by his side? Not to mention... developing a vague fondness for him.
But if that young man wasn’t Gu Ningyi, then who could he be?
The most feared, constantly worried thing happened eventually, like it was destined, unavoidable. In the end, she was starting to remember the past, bit by bit.
Cheng Ziyang looked at Dong Xin Yan, his face turned slightly pale, his hands clenched tightly, fingertips trembling violently.
In fact, he didn’t know much about what happened between Gu Ningyi and Dong Xin Yan during those two months. Zhou Yalin only told him that Dong Xin Yan shamelessly used her identity to seduce Gu Ningyi. Gu Ningyi thought Dong Xin Yan was her and began to develop feelings for her. Dong Xin Yan then became aggressive, coveting wealth, wanting to be Gu Ningyi’s girlfriend, even fiancée, and eventually the Young Madam Gu.
So she made him promise never to let Dong Xin Yan remember the past, not to let her continue entangling with Gu Ningyi.
At that time, he hadn’t known Dong Xin Yan for long. He saw her as gentle and pure, with a smile like a blooming flower, instinctively feeling she wasn’t the kind of girl Zhou Yalin described.
So his affection for her, perhaps initially had a purpose, but during their time together, he gave her his whole heart.
He truly liked this lively, pure, resilient, and happy girl. Even if occasionally proud, she was never pretentious, even if occasionally frustrated, she never easily gave up.
Gradually, his slight fondness began to transform into liking, then converging into love, deep love.
Once in love, a person involuntarily starts to worry about gains and losses. He began to fear Dong Xin Yan remembering the past, started to fear her knowing his sordid motive, started to fear Dong Xin Yan would... leave him and hate him.
So... is everything he feared really going to happen now?
Dong Xin Yan hadn’t heard Cheng Ziyang’s answer for a long time, she lifted her eyes, and suddenly froze.
