Chapter 99

In May, the beachfront bay resembles a tropical rainforest from a movie, lush and green everywhere. Teenagers riding bicycles whiz by like the wind, and casual conversations in Chinese mixed with English, and English mixed with Malay, drift by.

Kim Cho-wan put on her oversized sun hat and pulled Sung Soo-seung back.

She took a small mirror out of her bag, seemingly checking her eye makeup.

The man behind him was still there. He seemed afraid that others wouldn't notice his strangeness. He was wearing a trench coat and a mask in the sweltering heat, but he looked like he had already suffered enough from the sun. He slumped down and occasionally raised his hand to shake his collar, as if he would faint if he walked a few more steps.

Jin Chuwan was somewhat surprised.

She couldn't help but take a closer look at her surroundings.

The street was very open, and it seemed like he really was the only person there.

Kim Cho-wan was a little confused. She recalled the recent cases and realized that there seemed to be no serious disputes, except for Sung Soo-seung.

If the goal was to track down the eldest son of the Cheng family, they probably wouldn't have sent a rookie like Chu...

This left Jin Chuwan somewhat confused.

However, she didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it was in public.

But something seems off about Sung Soo-seung.

Her steps were clearly light, but for some reason the man behind her seemed unable to keep up, walking very slowly and even occasionally stepping on her heels.

Kim Cho-wan had no choice but to stop and look at Sung Soo-seung.

Are you... feeling unwell anywhere?

The man seemed startled by her, appearing somewhat stiff, but he refused to speak, his gaze drifting aimlessly towards their clasped hands.

Jin Chuwan followed his gaze and lowered her head, but quickly seemed to see everything again, and pulled him along as they continued walking.

She really doesn't understand medicine.

Can a person's personality change just because they have amnesia? Someone who used to be so willful, reckless, and mischievous has suddenly become innocent and sensible.

Is this reasonable?

No one answered Jin Chuwan, and she had a lot of work to do, so she had no time to investigate.

However, there was still a gain today. When the court session started in the afternoon, Jin Chuwan discovered that the person who had been following them was actually there to observe the proceedings.

He was sitting in a corner and far away, so Jin Chuwan couldn't see his face clearly.

But that's not important.

His identity information was registered upon entry.

She can investigate when needed in the future.

After the court hearing ended, Kim Cho-wan said goodbye to the parties involved and then went to pick up Sung Soo-seung, who was still sitting inside and refused to leave. He looked around like a fool, which made the guards keep staring at him.

"They're gone."

Jin Chuwan glanced at her watch; it was just past six o'clock, so she could go straight home.

But after thinking about it, she still took Cheng Xiucheng to the hospital for another check-up.

The doctor looked through the test results and said that his condition was relatively stable, but recovery would definitely take time, especially for a patient like him who needed more careful care.

Jin Chuwan listened and nodded.

Cheng Xiucheng nodded as he listened.

He poked Jin Chuwan's cheek, looking somewhat smug: "The doctor said you have to be nice to me..."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chuwan turned her head and asked, "What, are you implying that I've been unkind to you?"

Perhaps because she had been a lawyer for so long, Kim Cho-wan's smile always had a bit of a routine feel to it. Sung Soo-seung, stared at by those slightly narrowed eyes, suddenly felt a little dejected.

"You haven't treated me badly, but I always feel like you're a little disgusted with me..."

Jin Chuwan paused for a moment, and as she was about to leave, she turned back and asked the doctor again, unwilling to give up.

"Excuse me... does a person suddenly become extremely sensitive after losing their memory?"

The doctor's answer remained ambiguous.

"Theoretically speaking, a person's personality doesn't change easily, but since he's currently in a state of not remembering anything, he might be focusing too much attention on you..."

Kim Cho-wan eventually gave up on taking it too seriously.

Thinking about it carefully, although it's hard to say what Cheng Xiucheng's current state is, apart from being overly clingy, overly pretending to be innocent, and overly prone to overthinking, there's nothing else wrong with him.

Once he recovers, everything will return to normal.

Jin Chuwan thought again that he was actually doing very well now, considering he had been in a car accident.

So she eventually softened.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" she asked.

After the start of summer, the southeast trade winds from the Indian Ocean cross the equator and reach this island.

But the wind felt stuffy and scorching on my skin.

This maritime Lion City enjoys a spring-like climate year-round, with warmth, humidity, and constant wind and rain.

Jin Chuwan came here on a whim and never thought she would stay for four or five years.

When Cheng Xiucheng arrived that day, Jin Chuwan was still somewhat dazed. Even though they had been apart for so long, he seemed to be the same as before, glancing at her up and down as usual before scoffing.

"Anything is fine with me, I'm not picky about food, I'm easy to feed."

As the man spoke hesitantly, that memory from not long ago suddenly froze, cracked, and then shattered into pieces.

The man who was once arrogant and haughty is now like a wronged and devoted wife.

He seems to care a lot about being supported by his sister, and he thinks every day about how to make money in a way that saves money and how to make himself look useful.

Jin Chuwan suddenly felt like a bad person. She glanced at the crowd around her. It wasn't completely dark yet, but the lights were already on. She pulled Cheng Xiucheng along the sidewalk beside the road, surrounded by lush greenery.

Therefore, it is also accompanied by many mosquitoes.

Kim Cho-wan sighed, pulled Sung Soo-seung across the square, and entered the shopping center.

From beginning to end, he was like a decoration, letting her pull him along, but his face remained as bewildered as ever.

Where are we going?

Jin Chuwan glanced around the mall, straightened her collar, and said, "I'll take you shopping so you can see my financial strength for the first time..."

If it were a normal Cheng Xiucheng, he might have laughed when he heard Kim Chowan say that, but right now, he just kept advising Kim Chowan not to act impulsively.

"I feel like I already have a lot of clothes..."

"Let's go home..."

"Wanwan..."

However, his persuasion had no effect.

When they came out, Cheng Xiucheng looked somewhat dazed and confused. He recalled the prices of the items in his hands and Jin Chuwan's nonchalant attitude when paying. He didn't say a word the whole way, lost in thought.

However, Jin Chuwan didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with his condition. On the contrary, his cheeks were flushed, as if he was having some wild thoughts.

"What, don't you like the clothes and watch?"

Cheng Xiucheng shook his head and did not answer.

Just as he was about to get home, he suddenly stopped and looked at Jin Chuwan with a serious expression.

"Tell me the truth, what exactly is our relationship?"

Jin Chuwan paused for a moment, then replied, "Just... ordinary friends?"

Sung Soo-seung seemed unconvinced by this answer.

"Why are you so nice to me when we're just friends? Aren't we lovers? Did I upset you, that's why you won't acknowledge me anymore..."

Kim Cho-wan's original intention was to let Sung Soo-seung know her financial situation so that he wouldn't have to lower his spending. However, she forgot that once this guy lost his mind, he became exceptionally good at adding plot twists.

"I'm nice to you because..."

Kim Cho-man tried to make herself look gentle.

"Of course it's because you're Cheng Ya's older brother, and I've always treated you like an older brother since we were little. In my eyes, we're family!"
