Chapter 596: Fusion of Two Consciousnesses, Chi Yu Returns

Her hand briefly stiffened as she ladled the soup. After serving, she set the bowl down and took a porcelain white spoon from the bag next to the stew pot.

She pretended to be calm as she did everything, but her heart was not calm, and only she knew it.

She deliberately changed the subject and asked him, "Do you want to get up and have some soup now?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Chi Yu looked at her quietly.

"Is there anywhere you’re feeling uncomfortable?" Gu Yuan asked again, continuously avoiding the previous topic.

He still didn’t answer.

Gu Yuan ignored the indifference on his face and continued, "Your condition was so sudden at the time that I could only drive you to the hospital. Thankfully, you’re okay."

"Do you still remember that place?" He finally spoke.

However, Gu Yuan was bewildered by this question and didn’t realize which ’that’ place he was referring to, so she asked, "Which place are you talking about?"

Suisui, lying beside the hospital bed, looked curiously at her mother. She had heard clearly, so she repeated what her father had just said to her mother, "Chi Yu asked if mom still remembers that place."

Gu Yuan smiled at her daughter and coaxed, "Mom has to take care of Dad now. Why don’t you go play over there, okay?"

"Okay, all right."

Suisui nodded obediently and well-behaved, then went to the sofa to play.

Once her daughter walked away, Gu Yuan asked Chi Yu, "I didn’t understand. Which place were you referring to just now?"

Chi Yu: "The place where I parked."

Gu Yuan hadn’t observed the surroundings carefully at that time. She only felt a slight sense of familiarity. Now that Chi Yu brought it up, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but think back. Probably because the timeline was so distant, even with careful recollection, she couldn’t remember what that place was.

She asked Chi Yu, "I don’t remember, where is that place?"

After asking, she heard Chi Yu’s reply.

He said—

"That place, is where you encountered a landslide five years ago when you left Ancient Water Village."

"There," Chi Yu looked into Gu Yuan’s eyes and said, "you were in danger."

As the words fell, Gu Yuan’s face quickly turned pale.

Chi Yu’s words swiftly pulled her back into the gaps of her memory. Some almost forgotten memories filled the gaps like a tide, replaying in her mind like a carousel.

That night, a torrential downpour caused a landslide on the road. On the way back from Ancient Water Village to Sui City, she was sitting in the back seat, with Dao An driving. The galactic flood-like rain taught her how terrible the rainstorm was that night, and the boulder that fell and almost struck the hood was almost a deadly hit.

No wonder she always felt a little familiar with that parking spot, but couldn’t recall what had happened there.

Now that her memories were filled, Gu Yuan’s face turned very pale.

It wasn’t the lingering fear of five years ago but rather Chi Yu forcing her to recall it once more. He knew, and he remembered... So has he remembered everything?

...Her worst fear had come to pass.

Back then, didn’t Wen Fei say he’d never remember, but now...

Gu Yuan looked at him in shock.

Chi Yu’s lips curled into a faint smile: "You went through a life and death situation there. I thought you’d remember it clearly, but it turns out, you’ve almost forgotten."

Almost forgotten...

Is nearly forgotten.

If you hadn’t brought it up now.

But why did you bring it up!

Why did you remember again!!

At this moment, Gu Yuan’s face was slightly pale, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke. She slowly withdrew the hand holding the spoon, ready to put it back into the bowl.

Even though what she held was just a spoon, it felt hotter than the pot of hot soup.

Meeting Chi Yu’s deep, dark eyes, her lips quivered several times. Every word was at the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak.

"Gu Yuan, what are you afraid of?"

With just a look, Chi Yu saw through all of Gu Yuan’s pretenses.

And just as Chi Yu said, Gu Yuan was afraid.

In their eye contact, he still bore the same cold and indifferent expression, the same expression and gaze he used while looking at her—

Quickly breaking eye contact with him, she set down the bowl and the spoon, the space between her thumb and forefinger on her right hand slightly reddened, indicating how hard she gripped the spoon earlier. She calmed the turbulent waves within her heart as quickly as possible but didn’t dare to meet his gaze this time. Instead, she looked down at the pulse oximeter on his finger and asked, "...What else do you remember? Have you recalled everything?"
