Chapter 32: Chapter 32 She Rembers Who Luo Zhenyu Is (Added Chapter)
At this mont, the two of them had reached the bus stop.
There weren’t many people waiting, and in the biting cold, there was a definite shiver in the air.
From a distance, a lodious song faintly drifted over, apparently the one sung at the Spring Festival Gala, {The Beauty of Spring}. It was a mystery which rchant was so swift to already have it playing on a tape recorder.
Or perhaps it had already been there before.
Gu Qiaoqiao shrank further into her scarf.
This reminded Qin Yize of the dappled little squirrel he had seen in the snowy nest in the Northern Border City.
It also seed to shrink back into the snow drifts in the sa way.
Only a pair of shiny big eyes was visible.
And now, with most of her face covered, it was hard to tell what Gu Qiaoqiao was thinking.
But he knew that Gu Qiaoqiao was keeping many things from him.
This realization brought a hint of displeasure to his heart.
Yet, when he thought about what Gu Qiaoqiao had said about strangers, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable.
They truly didn’t know each other well enough.
Although they were husband and wife, they seed even less familiar than strangers.
His gaze grew profound.
The bus arrived.
The two of them boarded.
It wasn’t crowded, and Gu Qiaoqiao chose a seat by the window, not expecting Qin Yize to sit down beside her.
Sitting up straight, not looking around, but carrying that uniquely cold and sharp scent of bamboo leaves that belonged only to him.
Alien, yet invasive.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt completely uncomfortable, but at that mont, the bus started moving.
She furrowed her brows and looked indifferently out the window.
It was only when she saw a patrol of Public Security officers that her mind exploded with a thunderous realization.
Her body stiffened instantly; she finally rembered who Luo Zhenyu was.
In her previous life, on the night of her junior year in high school, which was just yesterday, an elderly man who had made great contributions to the New Nation was stabbed to death by four hooligans in an alley.
The body was discovered in the early hours of the next morning.
It was already frozen stiff.
The case shocked the entire Imperial Capital, and while the murderer was quickly identified, the area around that alley had been under martial law for a month.
And a severe crackdown began throughout the Imperial Capital.
In her previous life, Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t left the house since that day; she had learned about it from Mr. Qin.
With this in mind, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly turned her head.
She looked directly at Qin Yize sitting beside her.
She rembered now that in her previous life, around two o’clock in the morning on the fourth day, he had received a phone call and left, not returning until the evening. He hadn’t had dinner and had locked himself in the study.
He didn’t co out all night.
It was unclear whether it was out of hate, or because of love.
She rembered everything about Qin Yize very clearly.
She recalled that Qin Yize, who was already as cold as snow, had turned into an icy, sealed deep pool after that day.
At the ti, she had thought it was because she had lost face, but looking back now, that wasn’t it.
No matter how embarrassing that day was, it was not as bad as the first day.
Then the following events beca easier to analyze.
Although Qin Yize was a dical research doctor, he had also undergone special training.
He also had an exceptional sensitivity to the scent of blood.
And that day, because Qin Xiaoyu and Bai Yun chatted incessantly along the way, with Qin Xiaoyu’s loud voice, and her own head feeling groggy, staggering as she walked, Bai Yun supported her on one side while talking to Qin Yize, who was also helping her.
Added to that were her intermittent crying sounds, so when they passed the alley, they utterly failed to notice anything unusual happening there.
In this life, the journey was quiet; naturally, he heard the faint cries for help from the elderly man right away.
Or perhaps he first detected the scent of blood.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize’s profile, which resembled a perfect sculpture, and wondered to herself, had this man felt extre self-bla and regret in his heart after the Public Security found out that they happened to be passing by at that ti, in her previous life?
Did it beco the guilt of his lifeti?
Though, in reality, without her, the old man from her past life could hardly have escaped death.
Nevertheless, no matter what, he found out and he went to save him.
Rather than finding out he missed the opportunity to save a life only after being questioned by the Public Security.
There’s even a possibility that he tried to save a life by going to the ergency room and stepping onto the operating table, but despite doing everything he could, he was still unable to bring the person back.
Back then, Qin Yize was actually riding high, full of vigor, and outstanding among his peers.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought, did he feel utterly ashad in front of the Public Security in her past life?
These things, she would never know.
Yet she clearly rembered that when she later told him she wasn’t drunk that day and sothing was off, he did not only avoid listening to her details but also indifferently walked away.
At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao’s thoughts were churning, but she had no idea how long she had been staring at Qin Yize.
Qin Yize felt sowhat puzzled, slightly amused, and a bit baffled.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s gaze was strange, as if she was looking through him at soone else.
This realization caused Qin Yize to furrow his brows, continuing to look straight ahead, he spoke softly, “Have you looked enough?”
The sound of a girl’s giggle followed.
Only then did Gu Qiaoqiao snap out of it, turning her head woodenly to look out the window.
She seed to understand the indifference and the faint impatience he had shown those days in her past life, but whether in her past or present life, she would never forgive!
Bai Yun, Qin Xiaoyu, Ning Yuli, Zhu Jianguo…
If not for their plots, if the two of them, like any other couple, had walked ho, how could they not have noticed what was happening in the alleyway?
Or perhaps, he should have silenced Bai Yun and Qin Xiaoyu then.
That way, he could have heard.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt sowhat embarrassed, alright, in truth, she too cried all the way ho.
But still… if…
So many assumptions brought a cold smile to the corners of Gu Qiaoqiao’s mouth.
What difference did all these make against the terrifying nature of the human heart?
She bit her lip, grateful that everything had started over again.
Not only did Luo Zhenyu not die in this life, but he also turned misfortune into a blessing, ending up with a body much healthier than before.
Finally, Gu Qiaoqiao’s stiff body relaxed.
anwhile, Qin Yize felt that Gu Qiaoqiao was embarrassed by what he said.
He also wondered if his words just then had been too harsh?
Lately, she had rarely looked him in the eye, and on the rare occasions she did, it lacked the previous shyness and affection.
Most of the ti, it seed as though she was looking through him at sothing else.
That unfamiliar expression and thoughtful appearance made him feel sowhat uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was a flaw in human nature.
When she looked at him with love, he felt it as a burden, but when she genuinely regarded him as a stranger, he wished that his shadow would be present in those clear, watery eyes.
Qin Yize despised himself.
If he didn’t object to her sneaking glances, why did he expose her just now?
It would have been better to pretend ignorance.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, only to find that she’d almost completely turned away.
The corners of Qin Yize’s lips curved into a handso arc, his eyes sparkling with a glimring light as the sun rapidly passed by.
At that mont, Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind was on the old man Luo Zhenyu.
She had said yesterday that for three generations up, they mostly ca from humble beginnings.
The statent made sense but was not applicable to Luo Zhenyu.
He ca from a truly prestigious and well-known family.
Even if you counted ten generations back, they were illustrious.
Just like the Qin Family!
