Lin Yan couldnât read the emotions in PEI Yuchengâs dark eyes.
After a long while, the man said,âI do. Itâs just that you didnât know that the consciousness that possessed you was me.â
Lin Yan shook her head.âIâm not talking about that. Iâm talking about ⦠Even earlier ⦠For example, five years ago ⦠Six years ago ⦠Do you know me?â
PEI Yuchengâs eyes flickered.âWhy do you ask?â he asked.
He naturally knew her.
However, in a sense, Lin Yan did not recognize him anymore.
At that time, she had already forgotten about the MU family, the Holy Land, and everything about them. She only knew the identity of PEI Yucheng, not him..
âAnswer me first,â Lin Yan said.
For some reason, he was very concerned about this question.
PEI Yuchengâs eyes were fixed on the girl in front of him.âI know him.â
Lin Yan was shocked. She was stunned for a few seconds. I mean five or six years ago. You knew me that long ago?â
PEI Yuchengâs glasses hid the complicated look in his eyes.âPerhaps, earlier than you think. Iâve liked you since earlier than you think.â
âHuh?â Lin Yan asked.
âFrom the first time I saw you,â PEI Yucheng said,âIâve been thinking about you day and night.â
Lin Yan was speechless.
PEI Yucheng: âthose who say that the spring breeze is warm must have never seen your smile. Those who say that candy is sweet must have never heard your voice.â Youâre like a fairy from the heavens. Even looking at you is a blessing. â
Lin Yan was speechless.
Who would believe him!
Did he really think that they knew each other?
Werenât these the exact words she had said to PEI Yucheng when she was flattering him?
Lin Yan glared at PEI Yucheng.âHey! Are you kidding me again? Why are you copying me!â
Lin Yanâs cheeks were hot and she felt embarrassed that he remembered every single word that she said.
PEI Yucheng chuckled.âIâm just telling the truth.â
Lin Yan finally understood that PEI Yucheng was just teasing her. She heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to herself,âitâs fine as long as I didnât abandon you â¦â
Hearing the girlâs mumbling, PEI Yucheng raised his eyebrows slightly.âAbused and then abandoned?â
Lin Yan coughed and said awkwardly,âitâs all because of what you said today. I even suspected that I had abandoned you and even forgot that I had a child â¦â
Lin Yan patted her chest as she said,ââI knew it. How could I do such a thing as abandoning my husband and child?â
PEI Yucheng was speechless.
â¦â¦
Lin Yan finally fell asleep.
In the quiet courtyard, the father and son stood facing each other. The atmosphere was tense, and even the surrounding air seemed to be distorted.
âWhy did you say those things to mom today!â Pei Li stood in front of the man with a cold expression.
Since her mother had already forgotten the sad things of the past, there was no need to let her remember them.
She was happy now.
He thought that this was a common understanding between them.
Moreover, he had vaguely found out over the years that an extremely powerful and dangerous force had been looking for his mother. His mother would be safe if she didnât know anything.
PEI Yucheng seemed to have read his sonâs mind.
âSometimes, not knowing anything doesnât mean that youâre safe. No matter if itâs you or me, we canât guarantee that we can protect her all the time. Besides â¦â
Moreover, even if he wanted to hide it, he was afraid that he would not be able to hide it any longer.
