Memories 1

——Memory Line——

The story of Lin Chaoying and Jiang Chuan Gu is even more unexpected and astonishing.

In 2028, to escape the tragedy of her family, she ran away to a remote mountain valley in Jiazhou to open a bed and breakfast. One day in the third year, Lin Chaoying drove her car to the city to buy goods, just like always.

The torrential rain pounded down, making a "pattering" sound on the car windows. She gripped the steering wheel, turned on the windshield wipers, and quietly waited for the red light countdown. Just then, the phone rang. Her slender fingers pressed the answer button, and Linlin's voice came from the other end, "Sis, everything's ready."

Lin Chaoying casually hummed in agreement and then said, "I'll be there in two more intersections."

As soon as she finished speaking, the green light turned on. She stepped on the gas, and the car had only gone a few meters forward when a blinding white light suddenly appeared on her right, accompanied by a sharp sound. Lin Chaoying slammed on the brakes instantly.

A loud "bang!" followed, and the world spun around me. Shattered glass and the pungent smell of blood filled my nostrils...

This is Lin Chaoying's last memory after the car accident.

When she opened her eyes again, she was standing in a stadium with a capacity of thousands. Her mind was blank, and she vaguely heard someone calling her "Lin Chaoying".

She thought, this is her name.

On stage, several men were dancing in unison under the spotlight. The light focused on one man, who cleanly and neatly performed a front flip in the center position. He raised his eyes handsomely, and the three-dimensional butterfly on the right side of his cheek fluttered its wings, making him look like an elf from a fairy tale.

His name flashed through Lin Chaoying's mind: Jiang Chuan Gu.

Then, a man appeared before her eyes, standing on the podium, generously giving his thanks.

As the concert ended, cheers from fans from all sides echoed throughout the venue. Lin Chaoying stood in the middle of the aisle, with countless pretty girls passing by her, chatting and sharing in small groups.

Not only did she lose her memory, she also turned into a ghost...

Lin Chaoying drifted slowly towards the backstage dressing room. Passing through the wall, she saw seven men who had just finished taking a group photo and were scattered doing their own things. She noticed a man in the corner changing into his own clothes and slowly removing the makeup from his face.

As the people around him gradually left, his assistant called out to him, "Jiang Chuan Gu, are you ready?"

Jiangchuan changed his shoes. "I'll be quick, 2 minutes."

"I'll go get something first," the assistant said before leaving.

Lin Chaoying was extremely curious about this exquisite face. She approached the man sitting on the stool, bending over and looking down, and couldn't help but smile. She squatted down and examined him carefully.

I feel like this face looks younger now, while the face I remember when I won the award looked much more mature.

Has the timeline also gone wrong?

Jiang Chuan Gu paused for a few seconds, then slowly raised his head, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes coldly fixed on Lin Chao Ying's face.

The two were stunned the moment their eyes met.

Lin Chaoying's eyes widened in horror. She turned her head and then back, staring at the man in front of her in disbelief. She pointed to herself and tentatively asked, "You...can you see me?"

Jiang Chuan Gu looked puzzled, then suddenly stood up, took a few steps back, and said with a wary expression, "You're not a staff member, you're a fan?"

Seeing her calm expression, Jiang Chuangu took a few steps back, swallowed hard, and called out in a voice that wasn't too loud, "Brother Chao! Brother Chao! A fan has come in!"

Lin Chaoying stood up helplessly, slowly floating in the air, passing through his body, and uttered softly, "I'm not a bastard... I'm a ghost..."

Jiangchuan stood frozen in place, his expression stiff. He then slapped his face, still not recovered, staring blankly at the "ghost" in the air. The next second, he darted into a blind spot.

Lin Chaoying was amused by his series of actions, "You've gone abroad again."

Chao rushed in, looked around, and saw that Jiang Chuangu was the only one standing in the dressing room. He asked in confusion, "Where is she? Did she run away?"

Jiangchuan Valley pointed to the sky, "Didn't you see it?"

Chao swallowed hard, his lips pursed, and said sheepishly, "You trying to scare me, kid?"

"Can't you see it?!" Jiang Chuan Gu's face instantly turned red as he excitedly exclaimed, "It's right there!"

Chao comforted him, saying, "You're just too tired from preparing for the concert. Go home and rest. Everyone's in the car."

Jiangchuan Valley was dragged away, his eyes never leaving the "ghost" in the sky.

Lin Chaoying helplessly spread her hands at him and asked curiously, "How can he see?"

"She spoke again! Didn't you hear her?" Jiang Chuan Gu shouted.

Chao felt a chill run down his spine and walked even faster. "Stop fooling around, hurry up and get in the car."

Lin Chaoying, in the form of a "ghost," followed Jiang Chuan Gu back to the dormitory. There were three other teammates on the way, but Jiang Chuan Gu seemed not to communicate with them at all, and they didn't even glance at Jiang Chuan Gu, forming two separate color blocks that did not interfere with each other.

Their excitement had nothing to do with Jiangchuan Valley, and Jiangchuan Valley's state of mind was none of their concern.

It was an indescribable, invisible barrier that isolated them from the team.

For a while at first, Jiangchuan Valley wore headphones every day, pretending not to see the "ghost," and would subconsciously avoid its presence.

Lin Chaoying wouldn't just follow him around; she would occasionally observe his teammates, memorizing their names and personalities. Since she was already there and didn't know which way to go, she always felt that Jiang Chuan Gu could see her and maybe he could take her back.

Until that day, Lin Chaoying discovered that she could do more than just be a ghost; she could also be "possessed by a ghost"!

In the morning, the group went to the company from the dormitory as usual. Jiang Chuangu and team leader Jiang Xu rode in one car, and a talkative teammate named Jiang Xingxing sat in the passenger seat.

Jiang Xingxing talked incessantly about entertainment gossip on the way, which made Lin Chaoying furious.

She complained, "Jiangchuan Valley, no wonder you're wearing headphones, this teammate is so noisy!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand as if to hit him, but lost control of her body and crashed into his body with great force. A strange feeling came over her; her body felt heavy, her mind felt light, and even her perspective changed.

"Hey!" She turned her head and looked at the two people in the back seat.

Jiang Xu glanced at "him" and said, "Behave yourself."

Possessed!

She broke free from Jiang Xingxing's body and plunged into Jiang Xu's body.

Jiang Xu suddenly widened his eyes, and his phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a thud. He grabbed the button on the front seat with one hand from the side.

Jiang Xingxing was still dizzy and hadn't come to her senses when the chair slammed down, and she stared straight at "Jiang Xu" with a strange, determined expression.

Jiang Chuangu opened his eyes and saw "Jiang Xu" choking Jiang Xingxing, slapping him, rubbing his face, and cursing, "You little brat, what are you saying! With your face, if you put two green beans on your insole, from a distance you'd think a bull terrier had arrived! You're so noisy!"

The driver slammed on the brakes, and the three of them lost control and slid forward. Lin Chaoying rolled out of his body.

Jiang Xingxing covered her face and shouted, "Jiang Xu! You've gone too far!"

Jiang Xu stood there, completely unaware of what he was doing, and asked in bewilderment, "What's wrong?"

The car was parked in the underground garage. Jiang Xingxing angrily opened the car door and got out, pointing at Jiang Xu inside the car, "I knew you had a problem with me! You've been holding back for a long time, haven't you!"

Lin Chaoying raised an eyebrow at Jiang Chuangu with a grin, secretly delighted, and said, "This is so awesome!"

Jiang Chuan Gu exclaimed in horror, "You can actually...possess someone?"

At that moment, he wished he could immediately run to a temple to ask for incense to ward off evil spirits.

Later, the real catalyst that allowed the human and the ghost to begin communicating was loneliness.

ATW-7 has two short vacations to go home every year, and in the morning, apart from Jiangchuan Valley, the other 6 people were all immersed in joy.

Before leaving, Jiang Xu said to Jiang Chuangu, "We have five days off. We're going home separately. I've left you some breakfast downstairs."

Jiangchuan Valley lowered his eyes and softly hummed in agreement.

Jiang Xu was about to leave when he paused and asked, "Do you want to come down and say hello?"

Jiangchuan Gu put on his headphones. "No need."

Jiang Xu left the room, with Lin Chaoying following behind him. Several men chatted and laughed as they got into their cars at the door. After exchanging brief greetings, they left one after another, and no one mentioned Jiang Chuan Gu.

The villa was empty, with only a lonely breakfast on the dining table.

Jiang Chuan Gu sat on the edge of the bed with the door open, his eyes unfocused, lost in thought. He was as quiet as a piece of jade, sitting silently on the table, unnoticed by anyone.

Lin Chaoying floated to the doorway. "They've all left... Would you like to come down for some breakfast?"

Jiang Chuan Gu paused briefly, and after a few minutes, he slowly took off his headphones, put on his slippers, left the room, sat in the dining room and casually ate some steamed buns and fried dough sticks, went out to throw away the trash, and then returned to the dance studio on the basement floor of the villa.

He skillfully turned on the stereo, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and started with physical training, then moved on to dancing and singing. He barely stopped for four hours, his forehead and neck covered in large beads of sweat.

Putting everything else aside, Jiang Chuan Gu's voice is so good that Lin Chao Ying felt refreshed when he sang!

She floated up, happily spinning around above Jiangchuan Valley, her voice inexplicably high-pitched, "Let's go get some food and rest~"

Jiang Chuan Gu picked up a bottle of water from the side, gulped it down in two gulps, and casually wiped the water from his mouth. "How long do you plan to follow me?"

Lin Chaoying descended from the sky, "So you're finally willing to talk to me?"

Jiang Chuan Gu pouted, "If you don't want to, will you leave?"

Lin Chaoying rested her chin on her hand in thought, and said seriously, "If I leave, I don't know where to go?"

He was puzzled: "You don't remember any of your family and friends at all?"

Lin Chaoying nodded.

Jiangchuan Valley asked, "Then what do you remember?"

Lin Chao-ying: "I remember my name and your name, and I also remember when you received the award."

"Win an award?" Jiang Chuan Gu smiled bitterly. "Where am I supposed to win an award? I'd be lucky to even get a chance to go on stage."

Lin Chaoying was very excited and said in a high-spirited tone, "Do you know what this means! I am a ghost who can predict the future! Young man, you will definitely win an award in the future! Your first task now is to treat me well!"

Jiang Chuan Gu was skeptical. "Really?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, during the 5-day holiday, the human and the ghost often chatted casually, sometimes watching movies and variety shows and complaining about each other, and sometimes looking at geographical scenery, trying to help her find her memories.

Jiangchuan Gu noticed that she was always hanging around the living room, so he casually introduced his own room.

His room wasn't large, about thirty square meters. The wallpaper was a light blue, and the windows, table, and bed were all made of wood. The chandelier was very modern. Despite the chaotic decor, the room was kept clean and tidy.

If you look closely, you'll find that there's very little in Jiangchuan Valley, giving you the feeling that you can run away at any time.

The only view is the cherry blossom tree by the window, which, with its vigorous vitality, dominates the view through this wooden lattice window.

The delicate, light pink petals spiraled upwards in the air with the wind, their beauty dazzling and ethereal. Their unique, sweet fragrance drifted into the room through the open cracks.

"Very clean! Very beautiful!" Lin Chaoying praised earnestly. She even looked in a full-length mirror and carefully observed her appearance. Her oval face had delicate and soft features, and her pink dress paired with a curly ponytail made her look fresh and refined.

She could hardly believe it. "I actually look like this?"

Jiang Chuan Gu was surprised, "You've been here for a month and haven't looked in a mirror?"

"How could I dare?" Lin Chaoying said, "The only mirror in the living room is in the bathroom. I'm always afraid you'll suddenly go to the toilet, so I avoid it."

Jiangchuan Valley took it out of the drawer, "I have a game of Gomoku here."

"Great!" Lin Chaoying sat cross-legged on the carpet with great enthusiasm. "Come on, come on!"

For a whole month, this man sat there gazing at the scenery intently, exuding a gloomy and desolate aura. No one wanted to talk to him. Lin Chaoying felt that he was under a dark cloud and walking on gloom, and his whole body exuded the miserable look of "nobody wants him".

The fact that he's now willing to talk to her shows he's been holding back for so long.

The girl's initial thought was nothing more than the inescapable heroism inherent in her personality, wanting to save every lost, homeless, and pitiful soul, regardless of gender or species.

To be honest, it's purely out of pity for him.
