Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘Could it be that I had amnesia?’ Rong Qi thought.
Rong Qi shook her head and thought again, ‘Impossible. I remembered everything clearly from my childhood until now. There was no way I had forgotten anything.’
He Jinghan looked at Rong Qi’s face, which would scrunch up in contemplation one moment and then smooth out the next. Adorable. He had to suppress the urge to pinch her cheeks.
“Rong Qi, do you remember what you said when you were a child?” He Jinghan asked.
Rong Qi looked at him suspiciously. She said, “I said a lot of things as a child. Which statement are you referring to?”
He Jinghan glanced at Rong Qi and sighed softly. He said, “You’ve forgotten me. pletely forgotten.”
Rong Qi felt like crying because this kind of cryptic talk was the worst. If it were anyone else, she would have just told them to spit it out. But facing He Jinghan, who was so clean-cut and gentlemanly, she couldn’t bring herself to be harsh.
He Jinghan gave a self-mocking smile and shook his head without saying anything more. He didn’t know how to remind Rong Qi that she was the most important person in his life and somehow she had forgotten him.
In truth, Rong Qi couldn’t be blamed for that. When she was younger, living in the countryside, her grandfather would often let people stay in their house to recuperate from various ailments. At first, she might have taken notice, but as time passed, she grew used to it. Plus, with her solitary nature, she stopped paying attention to those people altogether.
So, Rong Qi had impressions of some people from that village but had no recollection of others. Just when Rong Qi was about to ask him what he meant, He Jinghan suddenly trembled and clutched his chest, gasping for air.
“He Jinghan!” Rong Qi exclaimed, frowned, stood up, and took his pulse. She then slid a few silver needles from her sleeve and inserted them into his acupoints.
After a few minutes, He Jinghan seemed to recover a little. His face, however, remained pale.
Rong Qi reached out to help He Jinghan up, but he had already lost feeling in his legs and nearly collapsed onto the ground. She managed to catch him just in time.
At that moment, they heard an angry voice from behind them, “Rong Qi! What are you doing?”
Turning around, Rong Qi saw Gu Ziye striding toward her, fuming with anger. Her lips twitched involuntarily.
‘Could the timing be any worse? Thankfully, it wasn’t Gu Yuyan who had seen me. Otherwise, who knows what kind of story would be spun in front of Ye Nanshen.’ Rong Qi thought.
Rong Qi guided He Jinghan to sit by the pond, crossed her arms, and looked at Gu Ziye challengingly.
Gu Ziye, who had been storming up, stopped three steps away from Rong Qi.
He asked, “What are you staring at me for?”
“What do you think, genius?” Rong Qi sneered.
“Rong Qi! Let me tell you, I’ve been tolerating you for a long time. Don’t push your luck! You’ve been tormenting me and my sister again and again; do you think we’re afraid of you?” Gu Ziye shouted.
Rong Qi didn’t reply, simply standing there with a light smile on her face.
Gu Ziye suddenly felt unfortable under Rong Qi’s gaze. Annoyed, he looked at her and then at He Jinghan behind her. He asked, “What were you guys up to? Meeting up with other handsome guys in the dark? Rong Qi, have you no shame?”
He Jinghan frowned at the words, ready to interject, but Rong Qi spoke first. She waved at Gu Ziye and said, “e over here for a second.”
Gu Ziye frowned and asked, “What do you want?”
“Just e over.” Rong Qi insisted.
Swallowing hard, Gu Ziye recalled the incident at the pany; his arm still ached from it.. He asked, “Is that an order? Who do you think you are? Do we have a relationship?”
