Chapter 157: Homesickness

Gu Yixiao was responsible for driving and took Xu Ruchu on the way home.

"Are you feeling homesick?" he asked.

"Of course not. My mother brings me back every year to visit. But for me, this is the place where I spent my childhood. The only pity is that I lost a lot of my memories after I had a high fever that year."

Xu Ruochu felt it was such a pity when he thought about it.

Gu Yixiao couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, they all knew that this was all they could do in this matter.

But it is not so easy to find memories of the past.

However, when he arrived at the place, Gu Yixiao had a very familiar feeling.

He suddenly remembered that it was here that he accidentally fell into the water and almost drowned.

It is because of this that he has always had some affection for Lin Yuan.

After all, it was Lin Yuan who rescued him from the water.

For this matter, even if Lin Yuan did something that made him very annoyed, he did not really take action.

Unfortunately, even though Lin Yuan was in this situation, he was unwilling to be a good person, and he had no good solution.

Xu Ruochu was staring at everything here in a trance.

It comes occasionally, even in dreams.

But for some reason, I feel as if I were in another world.

"Want to walk around?"

Gu Yixiao walked and came to the lake where he had drowned before.

It's still as beautiful as before.

But a lot of flowers and plants were added.

Even a lot of seating was added.

Along the lakeside, you can enjoy many beautiful views.

There were fishermen in groups of three or four, as well as wild ducks and birds flying over.

Everything here is so beautiful.

"Have you lived here since you were a child?"

Gu Yixiao never thought that it would be such a coincidence.

But why didn't he meet Xu Ruchu at that time?

If they had met earlier, perhaps they wouldn't have suffered so much hurt.

"Yes, my father was very kind to me when I was a child. He took me everywhere to play and he even said that I was the cutest girl here."

"And he also taught me how to swim and how to dive."

"When I was little, I was the fastest learner, and he often praised me for being smart."

"Oh, right, this lake. Ever since my dad taught me how to swim, I've been fishing in it with a bunch of friends all day long. We always catch a lot of big fish."

She still remembered that once she jumped in and hit her head against a rock, causing a lot of blood to flow.

But that was after I was seven years old.

She hardly remembers anything before she was seven.

"But these are all memories from after I started elementary school. I can't remember anything before that, but I guess it was just as happy."

"My mom said I overdrew from the water because I was in it for too long and was frightened. My fever reached 40 degrees Celsius. It took a lot of effort to get it down, but luckily I only lost some of my memory and didn't become stupid."

At that time, Jiang Limei was even prepared that if Xu Ruochu became a fool, she would work everywhere to earn money to support the child.

Unfortunately, an accident happened and something happened to her father.

The person who originally smiled at her turned into a small box.

"Just like those kids over there?"

Gu Yixiao looked over and saw three or four children playing in the water.

Soon, a woman with a stick rushed over.

Order them all to come up.

Then he twisted one of them by the ear and carried him home.

“…”

Xu Ruochu couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"Have you ever had your ears twisted like this?" Gu Yixiao asked again.

She shook her head. "No, I didn't. They couldn't bear to be so violent to me."

The two of them walked along the lake to the cemetery not far above.

Looking at the photo on the tombstone, Xu Ruchu was filled with emotion.

Her biggest regret in her previous life was that she didn't even live to her father's age.

She said a lot to her father silently in her heart.

As long as I can say more, no matter how much, it is worth it.

Because they came to pay their respects, Xu Ruochu placed flowers on it.

Poured another glass of wine.

At this moment, Gu Yixiao suddenly said to the tombstone: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

He looked at Xu Ruchu tenderly. No matter what would happen in the future, he had already decided that he would always be good to Xu Ruchu.

It was like it was something he had to do.

If I can't do it, it'll feel like something is missing in my life.

Perhaps he had done something that he owed Xu Ruchu, so he wanted to be good to her no matter what, so that he could feel satisfied.

After returning, Xu Ruochu took Gu Yixiao to see the old house where she used to live.

No one has lived here for a long time.

Occasionally when Xu Ruchu came back, he would just come in to clean a few things.

There is a lot of dust in there now.

But there is no change, it still looks the same as before.

“I always feel like I’ve been here before.”

Gu Yixiao expressed his thoughts.

He really felt like he had been there before.

What is going on?

Everything inside looked familiar, as if it had been dreamt of.

"Maybe you came to play with me before I lost my memory, but I just don't remember it."

Gu Yixiao nodded silently.

"I have been here before, but I fell into the water the first time I came here. When I woke up, I found that it was Lin Yuan who saved me."

"So that's why you're willing to have a nominal engagement with her?"

Xu Ruochu suddenly thought of this matter.

Hearing Xu Ruochu's question, Gu Yixiao shook his head.

"She needs to help the Lin Group gain a foothold in the business world, and pretending to be engaged to me, with a rumored engagement, can help her."

"After all, he saved my life, so I can't help but repay him."

Gu Yixiao only has the thought of repaying Lin Yuan.

As for the rest, there is nothing.

He had never intended to give up the person he truly loved for Lin Yuan.

But now that things have turned out like this, it can only be said to be a pity.

He is now wondering, was it really Lin Yuan who saved him back then?

After all, how could such a kind little girl become a demon who even dared to attack her own sister?

"You said you fell into the water here?"

Suddenly, some images flashed through Xu Ruochu's mind.

I suddenly had a severe headache.

He hit his head several times in discomfort.

"What's wrong?"

"Some memories from the past suddenly flashed through my mind, and it hurt a lot."

"Maybe it's your memory before you were seven?"

Xu Ruochu nodded.

Question again.

"When did you fall into the water?"

"When I was 17 or 18, it was June and the weather was quite hot, and I attended a graduation ceremony."

Xu Ruochu uttered an "oh," "That's not it... According to the time calculation, I saved a man on this beach when I was eleven or twelve years old. I even gave him artificial respiration at that time."

"Could it be that you are the one who saved me?"

Gu Yixiao suddenly slapped his forehead.

After all, Xu Ruchu lives here, and she grew up soaking in the lake.

Although she was young at the time, she was good at swimming.
