Chapter 59

Annie.

Yue Qing repeated the name in his mind again, but he couldn't find any clues in his memory like before.

Who is that person in the memory?

Such a real memory, so real that she could even empathize with it, as if she was overwhelmed by great joy, but then endless sadness followed.

"I think I've told you your name more than once," Annie said. "Is it really that hard to remember?"

"No." Yue Qing finally came to his senses and stepped forward. "Do you have a Chinese name?"

This time, the corners of Annie's lips seemed to straighten for a moment, and she almost doubted whether she had seen it wrong.

"No," she said softly.

Back in the restaurant, the chef was already there.

The moment Yueqing and Annie walked in, everyone looked over.

"Oh my God."

"Can Annie have this style too?"

“So cool.”

"Aunt Annie and Aunt Annie, it seems like that!"

Among the pile of English words, Yueqing could only hear Xuxu's voice most clearly, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look.

In fact, she didn't look that similar to Annie, but maybe it was because she was wearing the same style of clothes, even she was a little dazed just now.

Annie had obviously heard everyone's exclamation and raised an eyebrow: "So surprised?"

"I'm very surprised." Lvy opened the stools for the two of them, making room for them to sit in the middle.

One is a first-time guest, and the other is the protagonist of today. Sitting together at this moment makes people feel like the others are outsiders.

Chelsea asked, "Is this Yueqing's clothing?"

Yue Qing nodded: "Yeah."

"I always feel like Annie is infected with your gentleness when she wears it, but not as soft as you are."

What a strange adjective "soft".

Chels: "Annie, you really surprise and astonish me. You are willing to wear other people's clothes."

Yueqing explained: "This is new."

"I can see that," Lvy said, "but their clothes are all one-of-a-kind, and you can actually buy them all at once."

Yue Qing was slightly stunned: "One by one?"

Brother Jiang said that his clothes were all made from samples.

There are also some fakes of big brands. Can he also make things that are so real that people can't tell the difference between them?

That's really too amazing.

Lvy thought of the children's clothes he had bought in Yueqing before and laughed: "Don't tell me this is also a fake brand you bought."

Yue Qing looked at Annie, a little worried that she might mind. "But the quality is really good, and it fits me well."

"So what?" Annie rested her elbows on the table, her posture relaxed. "I like it, but it's a pity I can't see it."

"This isn't easy." Chelsea held up his phone, "I'll take a picture of you and then process it for you to touch."

"good."

Before Yueqing could react, Annie leaned towards her, gently resting her shoulder on her side and looking at her with a smile.

"Three, two, one!" Chelsea looked at the picture in her hand. "As expected, you all look very photogenic, but the picture still looks really good. You two are so destined to be together. Could it be that Yue Qing is really Annie's creditor?"

Yue Qing wanted to take the photo in Chelsea's phone. She took out her phone and wanted him to send her one too. When she heard this, she asked in confusion, "What creditor?"

Without seeing Annie trying to stop them, everyone started talking at once. Chelsea was particularly enthusiastic. "One of those great fortune tellers in your country said that Annie has a creditor in her life. She owes that person, and only when that person appears can she escape the entanglement of fate."

Yue Qing didn't expect Annie, who grew up abroad, to actually believe such talk: "It's a bit mysterious."

"It's not mysterious," Lvy said mysteriously. "Look, Annie used to get a fever every time it was her birthday, but this year she not only took the initiative to accept your gift, but she's not even refusing to do it. Isn't this fate?"

Yue Qing was moved by what they said, and even wondered if the memory that just appeared in his mind was also the so-called fate.

Suddenly, there was another glass of juice in front of her. Annie pushed it over to her. She leaned close to Yueqing's ear and said, "It's not fate."

"What is that?"

"Do you believe it?" Annie's dull eyes seemed to draw anyone who looked at her in. "I've always believed this is called regaining what was lost."

Yueqing's heart skipped a beat.

"Since they say we look alike," Annie raised her eyebrows slightly, "then you can call me sister?"

This idea suddenly popped up in Annie's mind. She had never thought about it before, and had been wondering why she had such a strange feeling about Yue Qing.

She had touched Yueqing's face and her photo, but she didn't feel that the two were similar, nor could she find a relationship to describe the magical connection between herself and Yueqing.

It was not until I heard everyone say that I looked like Yueqing that the word "sister" suddenly popped up in my mind.

And she accepted the relationship almost instantly.

"Don't even think about it." Lvy said, "I tried to persuade her to call me sister before, but this little girl is even more stubborn than you."

Yueqing: “Neither.”

He paused, then looked at Annie for some unknown reason: "Is it really possible?"

"I always keep my word." Annie teased her, "Just shout and hear it."

"elder sister."

The people around immediately started to make a fuss, especially Lvy who was the most angry: "I told you to scream and you actually did! She didn't even prepare a gift for you!"

Amidst the clamor, only Yueqing and Annie were very quiet.

The other party's originally relaxed and somewhat teasing expression became stunned at this moment, and then there was a calmness that seemed to be about to storm. Yue Qing felt that he could no longer bear it and had to avoid the other party's unfocused gaze.

It was all impulse.

But she really wanted to scream. It wasn't like Grandpa and Sister Lvy who refused. Instead, she had this thought clamoring in her mind since she was in the room just now, so she didn't have time to think deeply before she wanted to catch it.

Yue Qing was so nervous that his eyelashes trembled. Just as he was about to change the subject, he saw the other party raise his hand.

Annie traced her arm and finally rested her hand on top of her head. "Sure enough, my feeling was right."

She laughed softly: "Leqing, you must be a very important person to me in a place I don't know."

There are many gaps in Annie's memory, or perhaps her first half of life was too simple, so simple that you can see the end at a glance.

So she always felt that she had lost something, something was missing, but there was still no definite answer.

Of course, only she herself knew about this matter, and she was the only one who slowly investigated it. Finally, at this moment, she felt that her blank life seemed to have a little more color.

"Just wait for me, I will definitely remember it." She promised.

Feeling the warmth on my head, even though Annie's hands were always cold, her voice made me feel safe.

If it were anyone else, Yue Qing would never think this way. In her opinion, the only person she can rely on in this world is herself, and only she can give herself a sense of security.

But she just believed Annie's words and believed her promise even more.

"I seem to have forgotten something too." she said softly.

"Are you two really that compatible? What are you whispering about?" Chelsea felt that these two were not normal and snorted, "If not, I'll just bring him to your house later."

"No." Lvy was the first to refuse. "I don't care which sister you are. I'm the first one to give a gift. I've already reserved Yueqing for tonight. Xuxu, ask your aunt if she wants to come to our house?"

"Auntie!" Xuxu is his mother's strongest assistant, "Xuxu wants to sleep with Auntie, like a younger brother or sister."

In the past, when his younger brothers and sisters were around, his aunt couldn’t take him to bed, so he could only sleep with Aunt Wang.

He has been thinking this way for a long time!

"No matter how comfortable a hotel is, it's not as good as home," Lvy said. "If you want to work, I'll have the driver take you there tomorrow. Just spend the next few days with us and talk. Who knows when you'll come next time."

Yueqing thought about it and agreed.

I had originally planned to go find Lvy after work. If I went to her house, I could still find time for the two children to talk to Xuxu.

She nodded: "Okay."

Lvy looked at Annie with great pride, declaring his victory.

The latter ate slowly and didn't notice her provocation at all.

"I don't think Annie will let you go so easily." Chelsea said, "Have you forgotten how vindictive she is?"

Lvy: “…”

Yue Qing was still confused: "What?"

Although she wanted to make sense of her inexplicable reactions, she also knew that this was not something that could be done overnight, and she hadn't made any plans to go to Annie's house.

"Eat." Annie didn't answer her, her voice tinged with laughter. "Aren't you hungry?"

Yes, I'm so hungry.

This time, Yueqing was finally able to sit down and have a meal in peace.

Different from Lin Shengxi's gathering, these people's gathering was just to eat and drink, but they all had their own fun and chatted casually as if they were at home. When they dispersed in the end, they were peaceful and harmonious, as natural as if they met every day.

Annie did not leave alone as she did when she came, but followed her back to Yueqing's room and watched her pack up her things and leave with Lvy.

Even got in their car.

"You're not going to my house, are you?" Lvy said helplessly, "Do your family agree?"

This young lady is very noble. She has daily checkups with her family doctor and is not allowed to stay out overnight. She even has to wear a heart rate monitor bracelet on her hand so that her family can observe her physical condition.

Annie had drunk quite a bit today. She closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and smiled, "I'll take you there."

"Take me in my car." Lvy rolled his eyes. "I really don't understand."

"Are you okay?" Yue Qing took out a box of medicine from her bag. "Here's some hangover medicine. Take some if you feel unwell."

"Don't feed her anything casually." Lvy corrected him hurriedly, "Her body is quite complicated."

Yueqing: “?”

She quickly put the medicine away and asked in surprise, "Then why do we need to swim when it's so cold?"

"Yeah." Lvy teased, "The more delicate you are, the more you're going to commit suicide."

The person being discussed laughed and scolded: "Don't listen to her nonsense."

But Yue Qing took it to heart and whispered, "You should drink less in the future."

Annie, who was already feeling a little sleepy, opened her eyes upon hearing this. Even though she knew she couldn't see, she still glanced in her direction.

"Yeah." She rubbed the head of the person next to her in a good mood, "I'll listen to you."

Even though I can’t see it, it’s still so easy to use.

Across from them, Lvy was teaching a child to speak in a mixture of Chinese and English. Annie closed her eyes and listened for a while before suddenly asking, "How do you like London?"

Yue Qing said honestly: "I'm not very familiar with it."

"They're like this?" Annie asked.

they?

"Sister Lvy?"

"Yeah." Annie said softly, "Her child misses your child very much. There are also very good schools abroad."

Yueqing didn't understand.

"Yueqing." Annie asked with her eyes closed, "Do you want to live abroad?"

Yueqing: “!”

Here it comes again, another unexpected question.

Lvy was the first to get restless after hearing this and said helplessly, "Do you think everyone is just like you? Don't give random advice! She must have drunk too much. She has no family here."

Annie covered her lips and laughed a few times.

“I’d be looking forward to it if you came,” she said. “I’d be part of your family, a sister and a younger sister, the way it should be.”

The exact same words made Yueqing start to lose track of what was real and what was fantasy.

She didn't give Lvy's driver an answer until she got out of the car and watched him send Annie away.

"Don't worry about her." Lvy said, as if he knew what she was thinking. "Her family has spoiled her for too long, so she always has a lot of bold ideas. If anything makes you uncomfortable, just tell her directly. She won't mind."

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable." Yue Qing came back to his senses. "In fact, I have really considered it."

"?" Lvy laughed. "Are you two really that destined to be together? You can think of everything together? That's fine. As long as you come over, whether it's the RV or the children's school, we will help you solve it. It's not a big problem."

The words of these wealthy people really made Yue Qing feel that they were just talking about a simple meal and a piece of bread. She knew her own weight very well: "Just thinking about it, my child's family is still in China, so I naturally won't leave."

She once thought that if she left her child, she would find a corner and spend the rest of her life there.

But now the situation has changed. I don’t have to leave, and I will naturally stay with the children.

However, I can increase the frequency of my visits to London appropriately in the future.

"Can I ask what kind of person Annie was?" she asked.

Lvy took her to her room and his expression became more serious after hearing what she said. "Although we all like you, we're always surprised that Annie treats you so specially. She has many friends besides us, but none of them she truly cares about."

"In fact, even we can't say that we really understand her, because she is a completely different person after she recovered from her illness. But one thing is certain, she really regards you as a very important person."

From Lvy's mouth, Yue Qing roughly knew some trivial things about Annie from childhood to adulthood, but it was not very clear.

She even had a bold thought in her mind: could the other person have suddenly traveled to this world like herself?

But this idea was quickly rejected. After all, Annie's experience was different from his own, and she also had memories of the past.

And I have never met anyone who looks like Annie in the past few years, so what happened to the memory that suddenly popped up in my mind?

Annie obviously can't speak Chinese.

At this moment, Annie returned home and was surrounded by the housekeeper and doctor as soon as she entered the door.

"I told you to drink less, but you wouldn't listen." Her father, standing in the middle, asked sternly, "What happened today?"

Annie then took out the heart rate bracelet from her bag, as well as her silent phone with many missed calls.

"Did you take off the bracelet?"

"Um."

"Do you know how dangerous this is? You can't keep doing this! Your body..."

"Father," Annie interrupted him, "there is something I want to discuss with you."

Seeing that she was fine, her father asked the others to leave: "What's the matter?"

"I want to go back home," Annie said.

"What did you say?"

"I met a child I really like, and I want her to be part of my family." Annie never hid her thoughts, and spoke directly without realizing how outrageous her words were. "Father, I've lived under your protection for many years, and I never knew there was anything I wanted to do. This is the first time."

"What child?" Annie's father frowned. "If you like him, bring him home. It's not like we can't raise him."

"I mean, make her my family." Annie emphasized again, "Only mine."

At the same time, Jiang Suiji in the neighboring city was just about to go to bed when he received a call from Secretary Chen.

"Mr. Jiang, our people have no way to get close to Miss Yueqing now." Secretary Chen said cautiously.

Jiang Suiji has now maintained the habit of always having some bodyguards around him no matter where he is.

Yue Qing was working alone in London, and he asked a few people to follow him before he left.

He frowned when he heard this: "The reason."

"Miss Yueqing packed her luggage and left the hotel with another person," Secretary Chen said. "It was the man who adopted Lan Xu from China, and another strange woman. The place where these two people lived was heavily guarded, with many security guards. Our car couldn't enter their private estate."

Not to mention the manor, as soon as we approached that area, we were spotted and persuaded to turn back, and we lost track of everyone.

In the past, Jiang Suizhi had investigated everyone around Yue Qing and knew Lvy's identity. He guessed that Yue Qing might have been invited by the other party.

The security guard at this person's home was relieved: "Wait until she comes out before following her. There's no need for her at other times."

"Okay." Secretary Chen asked, "Do you need to check on that other strange woman?"

Now that President Jiang has taken over the company here, the people he can contact and the information channels he can access are far more extensive than before, so it is still very easy to investigate someone.

Jiang then suppressed his terrible desire to clean up everyone around Yue Qing one by one, and looked down at his hands: "No need."

If she knew, she would be angry.

But thoughts can be controlled, but some reactions cannot be controlled. Jiang Suizhi felt that the self-control that he was proud of was now being tested every day.

And he was always on the verge of failure.

Not only did he want to touch her, he wanted to see her.

Mr. Jiang had never dealt with this kind of thing before, but he felt that this was not a good sign, so he opened the psychologist's dialog box again.

"If you have other thoughts other than possessiveness about that particular person, what stage does that fall into?"

The psychologist was particularly attentive to his VIP clients and was always available. He replied after a moment: "That depends on the specific situation. Dependence or subconscious avoidance are both normal phenomena. Can you give me an example?"

Jiang then typed in calmly.

"Seeing each other's heartbeat is unbalanced."

“Care about the other person’s every move.”

"I still want to pay attention even if we're meeting."

“I always want to see each other.”

Psychologist: “…Are you really 26 years old?”

Jiang Suizhi: "?"

The psychologist comforted himself that this patient was a special case. In the past, even a male mosquito could not get close to him, so he needed to be guided well.

Psychologist: "Mr. Jiang, it's a bit late for you to fall in love at your age."

Psychologist: "But you are in love, unless the other person is a man."

Jiang's fingertips trembled slightly, as if he had been pierced and had no way to hide. He tried to find a reasonable excuse for his despicable behavior, as if to avoid something: "What is a man?"

"nothing."

Knowing that the other party asked such a stupid question, perhaps he was trapped by some reason and was unwilling to admit it, the psychologist ruthlessly peeled off the patient's last fig leaf and made him face reality.

"If it's a man, then you're gay."

Jiang Suizhi: "..."
