When Xie Ting was on his deathbed in his previous life, he promised Chu Chenghuan that if there was a next life, he would be Chu Chenghuan's wife. And there really was a next life.
But he...
Chapter 40 Recovering Memory
Xie Ting's pupils were horrified. He desperately tried to push Chu Chenghuan away, but he couldn't. His lips were bitten, hurting, and he opened them slightly, allowing the nimble tongue to penetrate.
Xie Ting wasn't one to be bullied, and he bit Chu Chenghuan's tongue fiercely. The rusty taste of blood permeated their lips and teeth, but Chu Chenghuan continued to kiss Xie Ting regardless, teasing him with his tongue as if he wanted to absorb Xie Ting into his bones.
Xie Ting was so frightened that tears flowed uncontrollably. He whimpered constantly during the passionate kiss, saliva dripping from the corners of his lips. Xie Ting's arms slid down weakly. After an unknown amount of time, Xie Ting saw Chu Chenghuan loosen his grip a little, so he pushed hard again. This push did push Chu Chenghuan away, but Chu Chenghuan was caught off guard and lost his balance, crashing directly into the cabinet next to him.
There was a loud thud, followed by a muffled groan from Chu Chenghuan. Chu Chenghuan covered his head with his hands. Xie Ting was still in shock and looked utterly miserable. He gasped for breath, and seeing that Chu Chenghuan hadn't gotten up for a long time, he used a loud voice to hide his fear. "It was just a bump. You, you can't be so fragile, right?"
Chu Chenghuan held his head and remained silent. Then, the moment he lowered his arms, Chu Chenghuan tilted his head and fell down, his eyes closed.
Xie Ting:!!!
Xie Ting was terrified.
"Chu Chenghuan!" No one answered him.
Yangtze River Hospital.
Xie Ting had been waiting in the waiting room for an hour. When Chu's mother hurried over, she saw Xie Ting pacing back and forth, his clothes wrinkled. As she approached, she immediately noticed the cracked corner of Xie Ting's mouth.
When Xie Ting saw Chu's mother, it was like he saw a life-saving straw. The corners of his mouth pulled down, and tears instantly burst out from the corners of his eyes. While wiping his eyes with his hands, Xie Ting choked and stuttered, "Auntie, it was, it was me who pushed. He, he bumped into the cabinet, you hit me!"
Crying with tears and snot.
Chu's mother was also distressed, "Don't cry, why did your aunt hit you? It was just a bump, how could your body be so fragile?"
Xie Ting kept wiping away the tears that welled up in his eyes, as if he would die if Chu Chenghuan got hurt. Fortunately, the doctor in the ward came out at this moment. He took off his mask and said, "It's a mild concussion. Just get enough rest. As for why he didn't wake up, it might be because he was too tired."
Xie Ting only heard "mild concussion" and tears streamed down his face desperately, "Will he die?"
Although Xie Ting is now 18 years old, the baby fat on his cheeks has not disappeared, so the doctor treated Xie Ting as a child and said patiently: "He won't die. He will wake up naturally after he gets enough rest."
Xie Ting finally felt relieved and said "thank you". Mother Chu did not go to the ward to visit her son immediately, but comforted Xie Ting, "I don't know my son. Are you scared? Tingting, why did you push him? Did Chenghuan do something stupid? Tell me, I will deal with him."
Xie Ting's expression suddenly turned unnatural. He avoided looking at her, and his voice, still hoarse from crying, was tinged with a hint of guilt. "No, no. I accidentally pushed her while playing around."
Chu's mother seemed to be thinking about something, but she didn't ask any more questions. She said seriously: "If you have anything, you must tell your aunt, okay? I also watched you grow up. I won't take sides with Chenghuan."
Xie Ting hummed, but he didn't dare tell anyone what had happened. Now that Chu Chenghuan was fine and his mother had come, Xie Ting let go of his fatigue and said pitifully, "Auntie, I want to go back first."
"Okay, go back and have a good rest."
After Xie Ting left, Chu's mother entered the ward. Chu Chenghuan still had an IV drip hanging from the back of his hand, his eyes closed and his face pale. Chu's mother crossed her arms and said ruthlessly, "Stop pretending now that you're awake. Who are you trying to show this to? Tingting passed away a long time ago."
Chu Chenghuan opened his eyes unwillingly.
There was no pity for her son in Chu's mother's eyes. She only asked: "Tingting's mouth is rotten, is it you?"
Chu Chenghuan sat up from the bed, staring at his mother without saying a word, and suddenly pulled out the needle hole on the back of his hand. Before his mother could react, Chu Chenghuan had already stood up and hugged her without even putting on his shoes.
Chu’s mother:?
Chu's mother didn't buy it, especially when her own 1.85-meter-tall son acted like a spoiled child to him, which made her feel even more weird.
"Don't try to play it like that. Let me ask you, did you do that to Tingting's mouth?"
Chu Chenghuan was only tender for a second. After letting go of Chu's mother, his voice became even more paranoid, "He deserves it."
After saying that, he lay back on the hospital bed without mercy.
Chu's mother wanted to beat her son, and her voice became louder. "What are you talking about? What does he deserve?"
Chu Chenghuan: "He promised me. Mom, don't worry about it."
"Why shouldn't I care? Tingting, does he have such thoughts about you? He has always treated you as a friend! You are so young, why do you learn from those foreigners?" Chu's mother thought she was quite open-minded. If Chenghuan's father knew about this, Chenghuan might be left with nothing!
Chu Chenghuan raised his eyelids and pulled the corners of his lips, "It's natural."
Chu's mother was even more furious.
"You are my child. Your father and I are not, so how can you be my child? It was born that way, and you are born to harm Tingting? Chenghuan, after you are discharged from the hospital, go and apologize to Tingting!"
Chu Chenghuan raised his eyelids slightly, with a half-smile: "Mom, are you sure Xie Ting wants to see me now?"
Chu's mother gasped for breath and pointed at Chu Chenghuan, saying, "Then reflect on your mistakes at home, or else follow me abroad!"
Chu Chenghuan leaned on the bed and hummed lightly, not saying anything.
Mother Chu: “…”
A fist hits the cotton.
Chu's mother stayed with Chu Chenghuan in the hospital until he finished the IV drip. After that, she had Chu Chenghuan sent home and ordered the family not to let him go out before school started.
The servants had no idea what was going on, they only knew that the mistress was in a bad mood. The young master... was in a good mood.
Chu Chenghuan was indeed in a good mood.
His dream wasn't just a simple dream; it was his past life with Xie Ting. Eighteen years later, thanks to Xie Ting's push, he finally regained his memories of his past life. He and Xie Ting were truly a match made in heaven.
She had only agreed to be his wife for the rest of her life, but she took advantage of his memory and bought him pornographic magazines since he was a child to try to straighten his sexual orientation. She also restricted his social life, just to prevent him from having contact with men and prevent him from becoming gay. He even thought Xie Ting was possessive of him.
But whether or not to be gay doesn't depend on him, it depends on Xie Ting. He actually wants to break the oath he made in his previous life.
So, his memory returned, reminding him of the oath Xie Ting had made in his previous life. Xie Ting, in this life, should be his wife. Regardless of the process, this oath was made by Xie Ting herself. Once you make a vow, you must keep it.
In her previous life, Xie Ting's feelings for him weren't deep; they'd only been together for a month. But this life was different; they'd been together for a full eighteen years. Furthermore, Xie Ting had softened towards him a few days ago, and was ready to accept his feelings. But when she heard him talk about that dream, she was terrified to the point of wanting to cut ties with him and even stay away from him. So, Xie Ting didn't hate him in this life, but was simply afraid of him in the past.
Chu Chenghuan leaned back in his chair, rubbing the corner of his scarred mouth. A bright smile crossed his lips. Whether it was him in his previous life or this life, he was essentially the same person. It was just that in this life, he had a happy family and a more restrained personality. Xie Ting, he couldn't recognize him.
Not being able to recognize her was a good thing. However, his relationship with Xie Ting had reached zero. It was his fault, he hadn't been able to control himself. He could accept Xie Ting not liking him, but he couldn't accept Xie Ting leaving him. If she didn't like him, he'd have time to pursue her. But if his wife ran away, it was gone. Chu Chenghuan had always understood that.
Chu Chenghuan's eyes narrowed. Since he had messed up his gentle pursuit method, he decided to use a harder approach.
