Chapter 67 She Remembered

"Really, no need to bother! Doctor Zhou, it's the same when I take the bus."

Shen Qinghuan didn't want to owe Zhou Sinian too many favors, not to mention that she was married, so she should always keep some distance when interacting with the opposite sex.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qinghuan immediately felt an itch in his nose and sneezed unexpectedly.

Zhou Sinian couldn't help but smile, and invited her sincerely again, his words full of joking: "Ms. Shen, if you don't get up, the traffic police will come to give me a ticket." Shen Qinghuan pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly, and looked in the direction of the bus, but still didn't see the bus she wanted to take.

She lowered her eyes and hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up and walked forward, reaching out to open the passenger door.

The moment she got into the car, her whole body was enveloped by a spring-like warmth. Shen Qinghuan turned her head to look at Zhou Sinian, her face slightly embarrassed. She said, "Doctor Zhou, I'm going to Jinxiu Garden."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that he had just returned to China and might not be very familiar with the traffic in South City. She quickly took out her mobile phone and marked the place she wanted to go on the map.

"Doctor Zhou, you probably haven't heard of this neighborhood! It takes about half an hour to drive there."

Hearing Shen Qinghuan's words, Zhou Sinian raised his eyebrows, and said with a slight smile: "Miss Shen, then you really guessed wrong. I may not know other places, but I know Jinxiu Garden. More than ten years ago, this community was quite good, with a high occupancy rate and harmonious neighbors."

Shen Qinghuan was stunned. She looked at Zhou Sinian suspiciously, with surprise flashing in her eyes. "You, even know this?"

Zhou Sinian: "Miss Shen, if I say that I lived there before, would you believe it?"

"Really?" Shen Qinghuan obviously didn't believe him, but it was difficult to refute him openly, so she just went along with him. "Then according to what Doctor Zhou said, we might have met in the community before."

Zhou Sinian's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He had already said so much, but she still couldn't remember anything?

After a moment's silence, he jokingly said, "Maybe I've seen you before, but girls change a lot when they grow up. If we had really met before, I don't think I would recognize you even if you were standing in front of me now."

Shen Qinghuan lowered his eyes, his mood becoming visibly depressed.

She had never told anyone that she had forgotten a lot of things after the car accident.

After a brief pause, Zhou Sinian continued with a smile, "However, I moved away from there with my parents when I was thirteen, and we have never been back since then. Miss Shen, I really benefited from you this time, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to go back there."

Shen Qinghuan was slightly stunned and looked at Zhou Sinian in surprise, as if she had not expected that he had really lived in Jinxiu Garden.

"I remember my family lived on the third floor of Building 12, maybe 30..."

Zhou Sinian frowned and deliberately stopped to think, but he glanced at Shen Qinghuan beside him calmly from the corner of his eye.

"What about the 30s?" He smiled helplessly, racking his brains but unable to recall. "I don't quite remember, but I'm sure the building and floor are correct. I just can't remember the room number right now."

When Shen Qinghuan heard Zhou Sinian say that he used to live in Building 12, Room 300 in that community, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes!

She remembered it very clearly. Her family used to live there, but after her father passed away, her mother sold the house there. She said that the house was full of her father's smell, and she would feel sad whenever she walked in.

Shen Qinghuan hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Doctor Zhou, if I told you that I also live in this building, and on the third floor, would you believe me?"

Zhou Sinian raised his eyebrows, his eyes dark and gloomy, but his tone remained gentle: "There's nothing to disbelieve about this! But..."

He changed the subject, turned his head to glance at Shen Qinghuan, and said casually: "Miss Shen, if you really lived there, then we must have met before, you just can't remember it at the moment."

Shen Qinghuan was stunned, feeling that there was something else behind Zhou Sinian's words.

If he was right, he should have seen her before, and maybe even remembered her, but why...why did he pretend not to know her? Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Qinghuan turned her head to look at Zhou Sinian in surprise, her pretty eyebrows slightly furrowed as she asked, "You, did you recognize me this early?"

If he hadn't recognized her, how could he have invited her into the car the second time they met at the hospital gate? And the kindness Zhou Sinian showed her several times afterwards made her feel very comfortable.

In fact, she didn't think Zhou Sinian was a very outgoing person. She even felt that Zhou Sinian was a little cold in nature.

So this is the only explanation!

Zhou Sinian was stunned for a moment, a flash of surprise in his eyes, then he smiled and nodded, saying, "Well, I actually recognized you the first time I saw you in Mr. Jiang's ward."

Shen Qinghuan opened her mouth slightly, looking a little embarrassed. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Zhou Sinian laughed again. "I saw you at the hospital entrance after get off work that day, and I wanted to catch up with you, but you didn't seem to have any impression of me at all, so I didn't feel comfortable bringing it up again..."

"that……"

She pursed her lips, as if she had something to hide.

Zhou Sinian turned his head to glance at Shen Qinghuan again and said nonchalantly, "It's okay to forget. It's normal. After all, you were still young back then. I just didn't expect that we would meet again."

Shen Qinghuan said "hmm" softly and didn't say anything else.

In the end, she did not mention the car accident, nor did she mention it. In fact, she had forgotten many things in the past.

Noticing Shen Qinghuan's silence, Zhou Sinian felt a little surprised. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't ask.

She chose to keep silent, so she must have her reasons for not talking about it.

Along the way, none of them said anything. The small compartment became extremely quiet and the air became silent.

Half an hour later, Zhou Sinian parked the car inside the community.

Shen Qinghuan opened the car door and walked out.

When she looked up, she saw a large ginkgo tree. Its branches were covered with withered yellow leaves. A gust of wind blew them across the ground. Several white-haired old men sat under the tree, basking in the sun, some playing chess...

She remembered this place and this ginkgo tree.

At this moment, Shen Qinghuan seemed to remember something. Some past events were like colorful pictures, flashing through her mind frame by frame.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhou Sinian, raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Brother Sinian..."

Zhou Sinian was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "You remembered it now?"

Shen Qinghuan suddenly became a little flustered and quickly looked away. She remembered a lot of things.

"Old Shen, your daughter is pretty good. She's articulate, well-behaved, and cute. I like her! How about we arrange a marriage for them? When your daughter grows up, let her marry my brat..."

"That's great! My daughter is so naughty, I'm really worried that she won't be able to get married when she grows up."

"Huanhuan, since you like being with our Si Nian so much, when you grow up, you can be Si Nian's wife, okay?"

"Sister Huanhuan, if anyone dares to bully you at school in the future, just tell me and I will help you teach them a lesson."
