"You really don't think that way? Good girl, tell me, do you love me?" Lin Lin felt a sense of satisfaction when she saw the pained expression on Xiao Wan Ning's face.
Whenever Jiang Wanning showed a pained expression, Lin Lin would reveal a strange smile, her lips curving upwards.
Later, Jiang Wanning studied psychology on her own and gradually realized that Lin Lin was absorbing her energy.
She absorbs her daughter's energy as a parent.
Lin Lin's mother, Lin's maternal grandmother, absorbed Lin Lin's energy in this way.
Lin Lin grew up in such an environment, and after having a daughter, she repeated the same fate.
Furthermore, because the daughters were switched at birth, there was no blood connection between her and Jiang Wanning, so she felt no remorse or remorse whatsoever.
"Mom, I love you." Xiao Wan Ning thought that if she said this, Lin Lin would be happy.
Unexpectedly, Lin Lin slapped him across the face.
"If you love me, why do you still hug other aunties' arms? Don't you just think other people's mothers are gentle and kind? Try it if you become her daughter, she'll treat you the same way I do. You're just a troublemaker! You don't deserve it! It's because you're not good enough, not sensible and obedient enough, that's why I'm angry! If you're good and don't run off to play, I won't be angry."
Lin Lin slapped Xiao Wanning so hard that she was knocked down the stairs and fainted on the spot.
Lin Lin did not take her to the hospital, but let her stay at home and remain unconscious for several days.
Xiao Wanning still had a high fever at that time, and after she woke up, she never thought about it again.
She felt pain, so her subconscious mind forgot about it in order to protect herself.
Now, seeing these beautiful photos, she is no longer the little Wan Ning of the past.
Jiang Wanning's forgotten memories were finally awakened.
At first, the village seemed familiar, but at the same time, she had a slight headache. But now, she doesn't feel any pain.
Jiang Wanning's lips curled up slightly, while her eyes became a little moist.
She looked up in Fu Chenyuan's direction.
Fu Chenyuan was also looking at something.
She remembered something: they had already met before.
Through his teary eyes, Fu Chenyuan turned around.
Seeing tears welling up in Jiang Wanning's eyes, Fu Chenyuan strode towards her.
Fu Chenyuan reached out and wiped away a tear that had rolled down Jiang Wanning's cheek, leaning closer and speaking with a tone of anxiety.
"Wanwan, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell? Wanwan, tell me, I'm here for you now, we'll face this together."
Jiang Wanning looked at Fu Chenyuan, but tears kept falling from her eyes.
She remembered everything.
At that time, she kept looking back, and she even went back to ask her parents for help, but when they went back, the boy was nowhere to be found.
Therefore, when they took a group photo later, her eyes were filled with a faint sadness, not only because of the Zhao family, but also because she had met that boy, but ultimately never saw him again.
She and Fu Chenyuan registered their marriage, thinking it was a marriage where each got what they wanted, but little did she know it was Fu Chenyuan's long-planned scheme.
Fu Chenyuan took out a tissue and wiped away Jiang Wanning's tears.
Jiang Wanning didn't cry for too long, but her eyes were still red, and the corners of her eyes were also red. Her long eyelashes looked like the wet wings of a butterfly, still damp, making her look pitiful.
Jiang Wanning said, "I remember now, Ayuan, that young man, it was you, wasn't it? The thing you wanted me to remember is this, right? We've met before, it turns out it was right here."
Fu Chenyuan led Jiang Wanning to a shady spot and sat down with her on a stone bench.
He had one arm around Jiang Wanning's shoulder and the other holding her hand, occasionally gently stroking her fingers.
"Yes. I wanted you to remember, to take you back to those places, to see if you'd have any memories. But I was wrong. If I'd known bringing you here would make you cry, I would have preferred to remember it all by myself. Anyway, even if you don't remember, you'll still love me, right?"
Jiang Wanning couldn't help but smile, feeling a warmth in her heart.
“It’s different. The more I know you, the more I like you. I cried because you cried. I’ve always been thinking about that little brother. Later, Lin Lin pushed me and I hit my head. Maybe it was too painful then, so my brain automatically sealed that memory away. I’m sorry. If I hadn’t forgotten, maybe you could have returned to the Fu family sooner.”
Fu Chenyuan patted Jiang Wanning's head: "Silly girl. You were so young back then, how could you understand these things? But thank you too. Actually, we met more than once before.
Seeing that Jiang Wanning still looked blank, Fu Chenyuan laughed: "Of course you can't remember. To be honest, you were so young back then, and I didn't have much hope when I brought you here today. It doesn't matter whether you can remember or not."
Jiang Wanning asked cautiously, "How old were you back then? Over nine years old, right? Now that you've come back, will you feel sad thinking about the past?"
"No, with you here, it won't happen."
He sank into the abyss, sinking into the deepest abyss, while she was the bright moon that pulled him into the light.
When he returned to the Fu family, they disliked his name and wanted to change it, but he refused.
The person who adopted him gave him this name, and that's the meaning behind it.
When they hit him hard, the man would yell, "You bastard! Do you know why your name is Chen Yuan? Chen Yuan means sinking into the abyss! You were born to go to hell. What kind of eyes do you have! How dare you look at me like that? Don't you want your eyes?"
The next second, a heavy whip grazed his cheek and fell.
He was in pain, but he still remembered to protect his head; his back was covered in bruises from being beaten.
Jiang Wanning had also recovered. Seeing that Fu Chenyuan was alright, she couldn't help but ask, "We encountered this before. When was it?"
“You were even younger then, maybe only five years old.”
Jiang Wanning was taken aback.
"Want to go take a look? I'll take you to the place where we first met."
"Okay. I'll go."
"It's a bit far, and you have to take a plane."
"It doesn't matter."
"Okay." Fu Chenyuan stood up, took the umbrella that was placed to the side, and held it up for Jiang Wanning.
He held up the umbrella and gestured for Jiang Wanning to hug his arm.
Jiang Wanning took Fu Chenyuan's arm without hesitation. It was too intimate, as if they were lovers who had known each other for many years.
But Jiang Wanning wasn't one to be coy. She and Fu Chenyuan were husband and wife, and it was only right that they be closer, no matter how close they were.
Fu Chenyuan stopped in his tracks. The alley seemed unchanged after more than a decade.
The boy from back then has grown up and can not only protect himself from the wind and rain, but also hold up a sky for others.
