Su Jin had no recollection of what happened ten years ago.
But since it was her past, she wanted to know more about it.
Without her memories, she was as fragile as a snail without a shell.
The ten-year mark caught her attention.
Su Jin opened a bag of peanuts and ate them with milk.
She asked a very practical question: "So, we've been together for ten years, why did you wait ten years to marry me?"
Zheng Lin was reluctant to talk about what happened afterward, but in fact, it was fortunate that she was able to forget her past with Zhao Xichen.
Zheng Lin wasn't that magnanimous. In the order of their relationships, Zhao Xichen came later, a newcomer, and he didn't want to mention him.
When he heard that Su Jin had married his cousin Zhao Xichen, he felt like his internal organs were being torn apart!
But what's done is done, and he couldn't intervene. Su Jin's words were so resolute and ruthless.
So... he lay low for ten years, silently waiting and protecting her.
Even if he regains his memories, he hopes that Su Jin can completely forget Zhao Xichen.
So he had no choice but to fabricate a lie.
"Later, it was a very cliché breakup, a normal breakup and reconciliation. As for why we broke up, it was always you who initiated it. Maybe you saw some handsome guy again and dumped me."
Su Jin paused in her hand as she pinched peanuts; she used to be a sea queen.
Based on her limited self-understanding, she did indeed seem like someone who would change her mind because of beauty.
But I still have no recollection of it.
Su Jin patted her head, shook it, and looked at him with a mournful expression: "I can't remember."
She pointed to her temple. "There's nothing in my brain. You're not lying to me, are you?"
Zheng Lin remained calm under pressure and immediately found a breakthrough, throwing the question back the way it came, while also playing the victim, "You think it makes me look good to lie to you about dumping me?"
Su Jin thought about it carefully, her eyes slightly glazed over: "It seems so."
Zheng Lin smiled with satisfaction.
This is the best way to soothe a child.
By gradually introducing the concept, she eventually came to accept and submit to it herself.
Having fought in the business world for so many years, Zheng Lin was extremely shrewd and could easily achieve his goals. He thought this tactic would also be effective against Su Jin.
Unexpectedly, Su Jin immediately realized what was going on. "Is it possible that you told half the truth and half a lie? After I was discharged from the hospital, I couldn't remember anything at all. Why is that? I feel like you must have done a lot of things to wrong me in the past."
Zheng Lin: "......"
You're overthinking it.
Before going to bed that night, Zheng Lin changed Su Jin's dressing and even gave her a softer pillow.
Su Jin was so busy with him that she was dizzy.
How long are you going to stay in my room?
"Be sure to call me if anything happens," Zheng Lin glanced at her bed and asked tentatively, "How about I sleep here again tonight? The room is too soundproof. If you feel unwell, dizzy, or fall down, I'm afraid I won't hear you."
Last night, the doctor told him that Su Jin should not be separated from anyone.
Ideally, someone should be by your side 24 hours a day.
Fainting like this is very risky.
If it had been any later, my heart would have stopped beating.
Zheng Lin dared not think any further.
Su Jin felt he was being overly cautious. She got out of bed barefoot and pushed him towards the door, saying, "I'm not pregnant, so don't bother me with all this. If something happens to me, that's my fate."
Knowing that she was still saying hurtful things, Zheng Lin couldn't sleep peacefully.
"Have you thought about your parents? You are their only daughter. Even if you are still angry with me, you shouldn't risk your life to spite them."
Zheng Lin spread a blanket on the other side of the bed. "I'll lie here. You can sleep peacefully."
Su Jin: "......"
However, he has a point.
"I'll let you stay here, but I have conditions."
"you say."
"If Bai Qingchi calls you, you are not allowed to answer. If you can't do that, get out now."
Zheng Lin readily agreed: "Okay."
The night was deep.
The two lay quietly in bed.
Su Jin found many old classmates online and was catching up with them, trying to recall some old memories.
In just half an hour, the amount of information obtained was enormous.
Su Jin bit her finger as she looked at the text message her classmate sent, which truly surprised her.
She used to be not only a sea queen, but also a looks-obsessed person who only loved handsome men. Once she got a guy, how long they stayed together depended on when the next handsome guy would appear.
The depth of this sea is terrifying.
They also mentioned someone named Zhao Xichen.
Bai Qingchi has mentioned this name many times.
"Zhao Xichen..." Su Jin murmured to herself.
She savored the name.
Zheng Lin lay down beside her, his ears were very sharp, and as soon as he heard those three words, he leaned his head over.
Zheng Lin: "Who are you chatting with?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
Su Jin held the phone screen to her chest, looking at him warily. "It's very impolite to snoop on other people's privacy."
Zheng Lin said helplessly, "I'm nearsighted, I can't see clearly. What were you looking for?"
He pretended not to have heard those three words.
I want to see her reaction.
"No, I meant the name, Zhao Xichen." Su Jin turned to him and asked, "Have you heard of this name before?"
"I don't know him."
"Oh, but I always feel like I should know him."
“You don’t know him either; his name is very common and ordinary.”
"oh."
Seeing that Su Jin had been temporarily fooled, Zheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He silently put on his glasses and glanced at Su Jin's phone screen.
Every time she smiled or frowned, it terrified him.
However, what he feared still happened.
When Su Jin saw Zhao Xichen's photo on her phone, Zheng Lin immediately snatched the phone away.
Su Jin: "..."
"Stop looking at your phone. You'll ruin your eyes if you keep staring at it." Zheng Lin turned off his phone and said casually.
"But I haven't finished looking at them yet. Someone just posted a few photos that I haven't seen. Maybe looking at them will remind me of something."
"There's nothing to see here. The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of your brain. Your eyes are connected to your brain. If your eyes don't get enough rest, your brain won't be healthy either."
Zheng Lin reached out and touched Su Jin's earlobe, and Su Jin shrank back.
His eyes were deep and menacing as he threatened her, saying, "If you don't go to sleep, you might as well not sleep at all."
His gaze swept downwards, settling on her fair neck, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
Su Jin covered her chest with the blanket, "I...we haven't made up yet."
Her voice was weak, which just ignited a spark in the man's heart.
Zheng Lin suddenly grabbed her hand and leaned down to press against her.
Su Jin closed her eyes, her toes twitching nervously. She had just managed to utter a "no" when she felt a warm breath on her forehead.
A kiss landed on her forehead.
