Cheng Zhen was quite surprised that Jiang Wan wanted to talk to him.
Does she still remember the drunken ramblings she made on the island?
The fierce, arrogant, and fearless man suddenly felt a little afraid to face her.
But then he thought, "She was the one who left without saying goodbye! Why is he so cowardly?"
So he gladly followed.
Since it was a private matter to discuss, Jiang Wan didn't take him anywhere else and went straight back to the RV.
The two little ones were fast asleep. Logically, as long as they spoke softly, the two little ones wouldn't be woken up.
Jiang Wan didn't beat around the bush with him. She first handed him a bottle of ice water, and after he drank it all in one gulp, she asked directly, "We knew each other before, didn't we?"
The air conditioning in the RV was on full blast, the temperature was very cool, and the ice water was refreshing, but none of this comfort could suppress the restlessness within him.
He always felt like there was a fire burning in his throat, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a series of problems would follow.
But these are all issues that they must resolve; it's only a matter of time.
They're not the type to drag things out, so why can't they handle this relationship?
He had figured out the key point and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Jiang Xiaoxin start crying from inside the curtain.
Cheng Zhen unconsciously breathed a slight sigh of relief, and lifted the curtain. Jiang Wan followed closely behind, entered the bed, and put her arm around Jiang Xiaoxin while asking with concern, "Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, Mom is here!"
Jiang Xiaoxin immediately hugged Jiang Wan, crying with tears streaming down her face: "Waaah, Mommy, I'm so scared, I want to sleep with Mommy tonight!"
Ultimately, he's just a child, and it's perfectly normal for him to want his mother's company when he has nightmares.
Jiang Wan didn't think much of it and gave Cheng Zhen a look: We'll talk about it tomorrow.
At the same time, he subtly warned him not to play tricks on him and to tell the truth honestly, then kicked him out of the RV and went to sleep with the twins in his arms.
In the darkness, taking advantage of her inattention, Jiang Xiaoshu quietly gave his sister a thumbs up. This was one of the few times that the older brother had praised and affirmed his simple-minded sister.
Encouraged, the little girl clung to her mother's side from the very first thing the next morning, never leaving her side, doing this and that and that, making sure her mother had no free time to go find Cheng Zhen.
Jiang Wan was so bothered by the pestering that she didn't notice Jiang Xiaoshu quietly slipping off the RV.
When Jiang Xiaoshu found Cheng Zhen, Cheng Zhen was quite surprised: "You wanted to see me about something?"
Jiang Xiaoshu nodded like a little adult, her expression serious: "Are you free now? I have something to talk to you about. Even if you're not free, you have to take some time to listen to what I have to say."
Cheng Zhen had always known that this child spoke and acted like a little adult, but he had always been somewhat resistant to him, and rarely took the initiative to come to him like he did today.
So he was willing to take some time out of his busy schedule to talk to him, mainly because he could tell that if he refused, the kid wouldn't give up easily.
Seeing that he agreed, Jiang Xiaoshu turned around and walked towards the outside of the city.
Cheng Zhen quickly stopped him: "Let's say what we have to say here. It's too dangerous outside."
Mutant plants and zombies are everywhere, and sometimes one or two monsters will suddenly appear.
It's really strange. These monsters and zombies seem to be coexisting peacefully with the mutated plants. The mutated plants all over the mountains only attack humans and do not attack zombies and monsters.
Jiang Xiaoshu pouted: "You're already chickening out? Is that all you've got?"
You can say he has a bad temper, is arrogant, domineering, and ruthless, but you can't say he's incompetent.
Cheng Zhen knew perfectly well that this kid was trying to provoke him, but he had no choice but to take the bait.
The two walked outside the city, far from the city walls and some distance from the mountains and fields. They activated their purification ability shield, which would prevent monsters from attacking and ensure that no one was eavesdropping nearby.
Such a grand display of force had to be taken seriously by Cheng Zhen. Did this child have something important to tell him?
So he gradually put away his nonchalant demeanor.
Jiang Xiaoshu nodded secretly upon seeing this: "Last night, were you planning to confess to Mom that you and him knew each other before?"
Cheng Zhen was surprised, but she told the truth: "Yes, but this is between me and your mother."
The implication was that this was a matter between adults, and it was none of his business as a child.
But he quickly remembered what happened last night and immediately realized that Jiang Xiaoxin wasn't crying because she was having a nightmare.
These two lads had planned this all along; they were deliberately trying to prevent him from confessing to Jiang Wan.
Confused, he asked, "Why won't you let me tell your mother the truth? She was the one who abandoned me. I want to ask her what happened!"
Since they met, he has been humble enough to do anything.
Actually, the question in my heart had been taking root for a long time, but I hadn't found a suitable opportunity to ask it. Last night was a good opportunity, but unfortunately, the two of them interrupted me.
You can't tell her.
"Why?" Cheng Zhen frowned, looking at the child in front of her. "Are you worried that my reconciliation with your mother is for ulterior motives?"
"Don't worry." He was about to take the opportunity to confess his feelings when the little guy interrupted him.
"You don't need to tell me your sincerity. If you can move your mother and make her fall in love with you again, that's your skill. But the premise is that you can't tell her about the past."
"Why?"
Cheng Zhen never treated him like a child, so when he said these words, Cheng Zhen thought about more: "What happened back then? Did it hurt her a lot? How did you know that before you were even born?"
Jiang Xiaoshu was silent for a while, and finally said, "Grandma told us that Mom has amnesia and can't remember things from before, which is not good for her."
The usually organized child spoke incoherently, and Cheng Zhen didn't understand: "Then how exactly did she lose her memory?"
"It was her grandmother who gave her the medicine."
Cheng Zhen was even more confused. Could it be that Jiang Wan's mother found out about their affair and gave her amnesia medication?
If that's the case, there's no way she could have given birth to the twins!
He wanted to ask more questions, but Jiang Xiaoshu didn't know anything more. He could only repeatedly remind her, "Mom can't remember things from the past. If she does, we have to give her the medicine back."
"You have medicine? Who gave it to you? Your grandmother? Where is she?" Cheng Zhen was shocked and asked four questions in a row.
“Grandma has passed away. Before she died, she told my sister and me the whole truth. We are responsible for protecting Mom and making sure she never remembers what happened before.”
"So what if I remember?"
Jiang Xiaoshu immediately became serious and said with utmost earnestness, "I remember now, Mom will die."
