Chapter 35: Recalling Something
Translator: Lordbluefire
Next to him, Shen Ruojing stood there expressionless. She seemed unwilling to take the photo, and her look told people that they had better not offend her.
The background was a library of an overseas university.
There were many foreign and local students standing behind them, but the two of them stood next to each other, both focused on looking at the camera.
Sunlight was cascading down through the tree next to them, and the spotted shadows were cast on their faces. The light and shadow gave a delusion as if one had passed through space.
Chu Cichen stared at the photo and seemed a little stunned.
When Matriarch Chu saw his expression, she wanted to go over and take a look at the photo. However, she didn’t dare to do that and instead pushed Chu Cimo.
Under Matriarch Chu’s threatening gaze, Chu Cimo could only slowly make his way behind Chu Cichen. He tiptoed and stretched out his neck to take a look. After that, he said in surprise, “Bro, this is you!”
Chu Cichen frowned.
The person in the photo was really him.
Five years ago, he had an injury on his forehead and after the wound healed, there was an inconspicuous scar for half a year. It’d be hard to tell that there was a scar if one didn’t take a closer look at it.
He then looked at the date... On that day, it was true that he had hidden his identity and kept a low profile to conduct research on a certain project at this school.
However, he still didn’t remember having taken a photo with Shen Ruojing before.
Despite this, the time and location both matched...
Chu Cichen looked at Shen Ruojing.
He had always been very certain that he hadn’t lost his memories before. He had only been schemed on that one night five years ago, causing him to have s*x with her.
Therefore, when Shen Ruojing appeared before him, claiming to have been in a relationship with him for half a year, he took her as a liar. Thereafter, the woman continued to entice him and said that she liked him...
Hence, Chu Cichen’s attitude toward her had always been bad.
Even though he knew that she was the one who had given birth to the three children, he would at most only take a step back and let her move into the Chu Family with the three children. He would give her all the honor and glory except for the title of Mrs. Chu.
However, at this moment, looking at the photo in her hand and at how angry she looked…He wondered if there had really been a problem with his memory.
But that wasn’t possible.
Until now, he could still remember the details of what he had done at that school very clearly. He didn’t remember having taken a photo together with Shen Ruojing.
When Matriarch Chu heard Chu Cimo’s voice, she also came over quickly. After taking a closer look, she immediately said, “It turns out that you really did have a relationship with Miss Shen before. How could you not remember it? It couldn’t be that you didn’t want to admit it and take the responsibility, could it?”
However, Chu Cichen looked at Shen Ruojing. “Miss Shen, may I take this photo with me and conduct an investigation?”
Seeing his reaction, Shen Ruojing asked hesitantly, “Do you really not remember me?”
Chu Cichen replied seriously, “I really don’t.”
Shen Ruojing fell silent.
The reason why she was angry was because she thought that he was pretending not to know her. She thought that he had cheated on her. But now, the truth had come to light; all three children were hers.
But if Chu Cichen really didn’t remember her, then this matter would become complicated.
The boyfriend she had been in a relationship with for half a year suddenly became a stranger. The entire matter gave off a bizarre and unimaginable feeling.
The fury in her heart unknowingly diminished. “I can give you the photo, but I want to do a serious pulse diagnosis for you.”
Chu Cichen: “... Alright.”
With everything made clear, the two of them suppressed their hostility and sat on the sofa. Shen Ruojing pressed down on his wrist.
Chu Cimo scratched his head at the side. “Hey, you’re taking my brother’s pulse? Don’t think that you’re a divine doctor just because you learned about some Chinese medicine from some random books.”
“Shut up.”
“Shut up.”
Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen both spoke at the same time, then both of them paused for a moment.
Matriarch Chu chipped in at the right timing, “The two of you even know what each other is thinking. That tacit understanding is really great, just like a married couple. Working together to face off against an outsider is the right way to do things!”
(Outsider?) Why was he always the one to get hurt?!
Shen Ruojing closed her eyes and focused on taking his pulse.
A minute later, she opened her eyes in confusion, but she refused to give up and started a new round.
It wasn’t until she had done this three times to ascertain things that she withdrew her hand.
Chu Cichen looked at his wrist. There still seemed to be remnant warmth left behind from the woman’s fingers. Her fingers were cold, just like her personality, but they were thin and fair. Her fingertips were so fair that they were almost translucent, looking so pretty like they were a work of art.
The moment this thought came to mind, Chu Cichen immediately withdrew his hand.
Chu Cimo asked at the side, “How is it?”
Shen Ruojing spoke up in a satisfied tone, “Your pulse is very strong, and your blood contains strong vitality. You are young and have a strong s*xual drive, yet you keep your desires restrained. Your body is in quite a good condition.”
At the very least, this man hadn’t gone around looking for women during these years.
Chu Cimo: ‘?’
This woman really dared to say anything!
He choked on his saliva and coughed violently. He then looked at Chu Cichen again and saw that although his big bro was expressionless, his ears had turned red…
Matriarch Chu smiled. “Cichen has always taken care of his body and character. There’s no need to worry about that.”
Chu Cichen: “…” Was there anything to be worried about?!
However, Shen Ruojing tilted her head and smiled. “Alright.”
Matriarch Chu struck while the iron was hot. “Since the two of you have made things clear, no matter what’s going on with Cichen, why don’t you bring the children to move into the Chu Family first?”
This time around, Chu Cichen didn’t refuse.
However, Shen Ruojing shook her head. “Before things are sorted out, it’s better to forget this.”
Chu Cichen didn’t lose his memories.
His body wouldn’t lie about this.
The events that had taken place back then became increasingly strange.
Chu Cichen didn’t push further and said after thinking about it for a while, “I’ll investigate the photo as soon as possible. I’ll contact you as long as I’ve received some news.”
“Alright.”
“Then we shan’t bother you any further.”
“I won’t be sending you off.”
Neither of them liked talking a lot, so after a few words, they split up. Matriarch Chu had no choice but to follow after Chu Cichen.
After getting into the car, Matriarch Chu picked up her phone and called Chu Yu.
On the second floor of the Shen Family’s residence, in Chu Tianye’s room.
Chu Yu picked up the phone and Matriarch Chu sighed, saying, “Little Yu, your grandmother misses you. Can you bring your mother with you and move back?”
Chu Yu was a little troubled.
He had been brought up by Matriarch Chu since young, and they had a close relationship. However, at the thought of being with his mommy, he said hesitantly, “As long as I can be with Mommy, I don’t mind going anywhere.”
Matriarch Chu said, “As long as all three of you move into the Chu Family, would you need to worry that your mother doesn’t come?”
When Chu Yu heard this, he instantly sneered, “I’m not going! I’m not like someone, making Mommy do things that she’s unwilling to do!”
“No matter how much money I’m given, I won’t betray my mommy!”
Chu Cichen, who was in the middle seat, closed his eyes and carefully thought back to the day five years ago when he went to school. A moment later, he suddenly recalled something.
