Chapter 231 Believe it or not, I am not her

Cheng Jin was almost moving step by step, and she was always paying attention to Pei Yu's situation. It seemed that as long as Pei Yu frowned, Cheng Jin would immediately take Pei Yu back to the bed and shout for a doctor.

Pei Yu looked at Cheng Jin who was so nervous and couldn't help laughing: "At this speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to get there before dark."

Cheng Jin didn't think it was a big deal. She explained: "Why are you walking so fast? The peach tree is there, it can't run away."

"You are the most important now."

Cheng Jin smiled in a coaxing tone, and Cheng Jin also thought of the various times when she was in a bad mood and was coaxed by Pei Yu.

The atmosphere between the two of them was inexplicably relaxed.

The peach tree was not far from Pei Yu's room, just not far from Pei Yu's back window, and it could be seen as long as the room was opened.

Cheng Jin saw the lush peach tree from a distance, but it was a pity that the peach blossom season had passed. However, the branches of the peach tree were covered with green leaves, which looked like green flowers. Cheng

Jin walked to the tree with Pei Yu, and felt inexplicably familiar. It seemed that something was attracting Cheng Jin to touch the tree.

Cheng Jin thought of the peach tree that she and Pei Yu had planted before. It was crooked and it was hard for Cheng Jin not to be impressed. Cheng Jin

said regretfully, "It would be nice if the one we said we would raise together would grow like this."

Pei Yu tilted his head to look at Cheng Jin and then at the peach tree, "This is the one."

Cheng Jin was a little bit unbelievable.

The peach tree that was almost abandoned and almost died has now grown into this state. It is completely unrecognizable from its original appearance. It has almost come back to life.

Cheng Jin looked at the peach tree for a long time, and exclaimed, "How did you take care of this tree? How did you take care of it so well?"

Pei Yu didn't know how to answer. Should he tell Cheng Jin that he had almost used up all his efforts and energy on this tree after Cheng Jin entered the palace, or should he tell Cheng Jin that this tree carries all his hopes and expectations. After Cheng Jin

entered the palace, Pei Yu did not dare to act rashly without receiving any words from Cheng Jin. He thought about taking Cheng Jin out of the palace.

Cheng Jin was the one he watched grow up to be a middle-aged woman. Her mood was written on her face. How could Pei Yu not know that it was not her original intention to enter the palace.

But Pei Yu didn't know what to do. He didn't know why he had left for a short time, and why everything had changed so drastically when he came back.

Pei Yu still couldn't figure it out.

Pei Yu didn't say much, just a few words lightly, "It's just that I've watched it for a long time. I don't know if it understands human nature. It doesn't want to disappoint people, so it grows extra good."

Cheng Jin naturally didn't believe Pei Yu's words, but Pei Yu still followed Pei Yu's words and put his ear close to the peach tree.

"Little tree, little tree, you have to continue to be obedient and grow huge."

The moment the two looked at each other, they both laughed out loud.

Pei Yu suddenly asked, "Will Xiao Jin disappoint me?"

Even though he didn't ask the question directly, Cheng Jin knew what Pei Yu was talking about.

Will Cheng Jin's feelings disappoint him?

Cheng Jin was silent for a long, long time, until she thought she wouldn't answer.

Such hurtful words, such a cruel reality, it was difficult for her to say it easily.

Cheng Jin's voice was dry, almost unrecognizable as her own voice, and her tone was very soft.

"If I tell you that I'm not Xiao Jin, will you be disappointed?"

Although it was such an irrelevant statement, Pei Yu did not show a trace of surprise. As usual, he looked at Cheng Jin and smiled, raised his hand and stroked Cheng Jin's forehead naturally, "What nonsense are you talking about, Xiao Jin, are you having a fever?"

Cheng Jin pushed Pei Yu's hand away, looked at Pei Yu and said seriously, "You don't have to be like this."

"You actually noticed it a long time ago, didn't you? During the Lantern Festival, our preferences and habits are different. In fact, I am not her at all."

Things that had been suppressed for so long were suddenly said out, and Cheng Jin's emotions were a little excited. Her eyes were moist and her voice was louder: "It's impossible for people to change so much suddenly. Don't you know that?"

"I don't care whether you believe it or not, I just borrowed her body, but I am not her in essence."

"Not her, not her?" Cheng Jin looked at Cheng Jin with a vague look, as if he still found the truth hard to believe, and he didn't dare to keep his eyes on Cheng Jin for too long.

Pei Yu seemed to have found some loophole, he held Cheng Jin's arms and stared into Cheng Jin's eyes tightly.

"But you remember everything that happened between us. Aren't you Xiao Jin? My Xiao Jin."

Cheng Jin shook her head. "I admit that I have all her memories, but I also have all the memories of what happened to me before. So I am not her, I am myself."

Cheng Jin's words were like a string of sharp swords that stabbed Pei Yu's heart. A ringing sound came from his ears, and he could not hear all the sounds around him. He murmured to himself, "You are Xiao Jin, you are Xiao Jin."

Cheng Jin had never seen Pei Yu like this before. Because he was much older than Cheng Jin, Pei Yu had almost always acted like a brother in front of Cheng Jin. He was calm and elegant, and had never lost control of his emotions like today.

Seeing Pei Yu's distraught look, Cheng Jin felt a little bit sorry. She turned around and held Pei Yu's hand, comforting him: "Maybe like you said, I am her, and my memory is just a part of her life, but I haven't remembered it yet."

Pei Yu looked up at Cheng Jin, as if waiting for a turn in Cheng Jin's words.

Cheng Jin looked at Pei Yu's eyes and felt sorry for him, but still said cruelly: "Even if I remember it, I will still disappoint you."

"Between you and me, it will only stop here."

"I know you are very good to me, so good that I can't repay you, but I am a person with independent thinking. I can tell the difference between this and true love. My feelings for you are gratitude, not love between men and women."

Cheng Jin didn't dare to look into Pei Yu's eyes at all. She was afraid that if she saw it, she would not be able to say all these cruel things.

Cheng Jin had read the original book, and she knew how deep Pei Yu's feelings for the original owner were. Even though the current plot had changed a lot, everything that happened before could not be changed.

Cheng Jin gritted her teeth and continued, "If you don't accept it, we can treat each other as strangers who don't know each other in the future. If possible, we can still be like before, and you are still my close brother Pei Yu."

When Cheng Jin said this, she stared at Pei Yu without moving, not wanting to miss any expression on his face.

She had received so much favor from Pei Yu, and Cheng Jin was unwilling to make the relationship so awkward, but she was even more unwilling to use Pei Yu's love to keep him hanging.

Cheng Jin could not do such a thing that trampled on other people's love.
