Chapter 150 I Like You So Much

Duan Huaijin's call of "mother" stunned everyone present.

After a long time, Mrs. Yu broke the silence and called Yu Chucheng, "In that case, take it quickly."

She was filled with emotion, and perhaps among all people she was the one who could best understand Zhang Wan's feelings.

The huge rock that was weighing on Zhang Wan's heart loosened slightly. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and covered her red eyes with her eyelashes.

"When you recover, you can pick up your paintbrush and live the life you want." Mrs. Yu pulled Zhang Wan to the table and half-jokingly recalled the first time she and her father went to Zhang's house to see Zhang Wan. "Do you know why I didn't talk to you much before? Because you were full of artistic aura at that time, and I didn't dare to approach you."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yu also echoed behind him, "When we hold an art exhibition, our family must be the first to hang the paintings of the great painter Zhang."

Zhang Wan's brows relaxed quietly, and she gave Madam Yu a knowing smile, as beautiful as a blooming jasmine flower.

The new year begins with everlasting joy and new breath.

As the clock struck midnight, the lively fireworks around were reflected on everyone's face, illuminating the night into day.

Yu Chucheng leaned on Duan Huaijin and ate snacks. Although the surroundings were very noisy and the crackling sound of firecrackers was endless, there was no time when he felt more at ease than now.

He knew that there would be many more New Years like this in the future, and he also knew that Duan Huaijin's life would not end on that rainy night when he was twenty-nine years old.

Yu Chucheng couldn't help but stretch out his finger, but it was caught before it touched Duan Huaijin's chest.

"What's wrong?" Duan Huaijin asked softly, "Are you sleepy?"

Yu Chucheng nodded, a little, but he suddenly remembered a question that he had almost forgotten, "By the way, didn't you say you would confess to me after everything is over?"

In fact, Yu Chucheng already had the answer in his mind. He had asked the system before. When he used 10,000 points to exchange for himself to go back to the past, was it possible that Duan Huaijin was also brought back?

The system hesitated for a long time, and finally told Yu Chucheng that this possibility was very small, but not completely ruled out.

Duan Huaijin lowered his shoulders to allow Yu Chucheng to lean on him better. "You may think I'm crazy if I tell you this, but I won't lie to you."

Yu Chucheng's breathing stagnated slightly. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, his heart still felt as if someone had gripped it tightly when he heard those words.

“I actually died once.”

Yu Chucheng seemed to be listening to a story, but he was not included in the story Duan Huaijin told him.

He seemed to be just a bystander of this story, occasionally appearing in Duan Huaijin's sight.

"Do you still remember what happened on the day you had the car accident?" Yu Chucheng asked.

Duan Huaijin pondered for a few seconds, "I remember, I was on my way back from an art exhibition, and I collided with a truck on the way."

Yu Chucheng's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he felt empty inside.

Duan Huaijin seemed to have forgotten that he was also in the car that day.

Duan Huaijin pinched Yu Chucheng's ear, "Don't you think I'm crazy?"

"I don't think so. You believe everything I say, and I believe the same thing you say." Yu Chucheng tilted his head and smiled.

But although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually frantically calling the system in his heart.

The system was a little annoyed. "It's New Year's Day, and you're not going to let me rest? Weren't you eager to untie me and make me disappear? Why do you always wake me up?"

Yu Chucheng: "Why is there no me in Duan Huaijin's memory? After his rebirth, he remembered everything from his previous life, but he forgot about me in the last scene. What's going on?"

The system said unhappily, "I warned you when you decided to use 10,000 points to go back in time. This is also my first time trying to go back in time, and I can't guarantee what will happen."

Yu Chucheng: "I know that memory confusion may occur, but this is different from Duan Huaijin's situation. His other memories are fine, but the memory of the last day is wrong."

It was as if she had deliberately forgotten him.

Yu Chucheng's mind was filled with the sound of electricity. After an unknown amount of time, the system suddenly had an idea. "I understand. This is called selective amnesia. People will forcibly delete some painful memories. Their subconscious will brainwash themselves again and again, pretending that such things never happened, probably like a gecko cutting off its tail to survive."

An indescribable emotion rose from the bottom of my heart, surging like a tide.

"So, I wasn't in Duan Huaijin's memory at the end because he..." Yu Chucheng's throat rolled with difficulty, "He didn't want to meet me that day, didn't want me to be in his car?"

System: "Yes, he probably felt that he had made too many enemies and was dragging you down. He didn't want you to die, so he subconsciously forgot about you. In his memory, he and the driver were the only ones sitting in the car at the end."

Duan Huaijin lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows under his eyes.

He didn't know about the conversation between Yu Chucheng and the system. All he could hear was Yu Chucheng's trust in him, and all he could see was the corner of Yu Chucheng's mouth that was curled up but had not yet fallen.

Duan Huaijin noticed that Yu Chucheng's eyes were a little red and hazy as if covered with a layer of mist, and thought that Yu Chucheng was sleepy.

He gently kissed Yu Chucheng's eyelids, his chest shook, and he said from the bottom of his heart, "I like you so much, Yu Chucheng."

I told Yu Chucheng about my experiences in my previous life, and suddenly, the few moments when I met Yu Chucheng became clear again.

He had never met anyone like Yu Chucheng.

A person who is extremely lacking in love meets a person who grew up in love. The latter has a fatal attraction to him, like a poison that he enjoys drinking.

He was like a peeping Tom hiding in the dark, seemingly unintentional, but actually getting closer and closer, and even wanting to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to do some petty theft and steal some of their attention, but he ultimately didn't have time to implement this idea.

Even now, when Duan Huaijin thinks back to himself at that time, he feels that it was thanks to Yu Chucheng's broad-mindedness that he did not realize that there was such a dark person staring at him.

Fortunately, even if he was not reborn, it would not affect Yu Chucheng in any way. Yu Chucheng should be able to spend his life happily accompanied by friends and family, which is actually not bad.

Duan Huaijin was just thinking about it, when he looked up and opened his eyes, he found that Yu Chucheng was tightly pursing his lips, with tears in his eyes.

Duan Huaijin was stunned, "Why are you crying?"

Did he say something wrong just now?

Yu Chucheng rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and said, "No, I just yawned."

It sounded like a lie that was made up on the spur of the moment, so Duan Huaijin did not expose it.

Yu Chucheng suddenly turned over and sat astride Duan Huaijin. He stared into Duan Huaijin's eyes and said, "Say what you just said again."

"Why are you crying?"

"No, the previous sentence."

Duan Huaijin paused, "I like you so much, Yu——"

Before he could finish his words, Yu Chucheng pulled Duan Huaijin by the collar and pressed his lips against Duan Huaijin's, blocking any further words from being said.

Yu Chucheng closed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, and he clumsily imitated the way Duan Huaijin usually kissed him.

After a while, Yu Chucheng separated a little. His eyes, ears, and face were red. "I like you, too."

Even if your subconscious mind deleted me, at the critical moment, your subconscious mind still drove you to make the same decision as you did at that time.

The bumper car collision is the best proof that I once existed.
