Chapter 82 Loss of composure



Shang Lu, who has a gentle appearance, is tall and straight, with a handsome appearance. Whether in his previous life or in this world, he is a person who can attract attention at first sight.

Originally, Helian Zhen was a bit fat and round, and was synonymous with being cute and innocent, which made people love her the most. After a year, Helian Zhen, who had lost weight, successfully got rid of the "adorable and innocent" look. With long flowing hair and a red dress, she looked gorgeous and resembled Helian Nan. She froze for a moment under Zhu Jin's scrutiny, but she did not subconsciously hide behind Shang Lu anymore. She just stood straight beside him. The man was talented and the woman was beautiful, a match made in heaven...

Zhu Jin watched the corners of her mouth slowly rise, she took a step forward, stopped a few steps away, moved her eyes away from the red, and slowly shifted her gaze to the man beside her.

Seeing the tired and haggard man whom she hadn't seen for just over a year, Zhu Jin felt something was absurd... The corners of her mouth raised in an ironic tone, and her teasing gaze shifted from the man to the woman beside him who had changed so drastically.

Shanglu, is this still your wife? Is this still the wife from your previous life? Is this the wife you are protecting with all your heart?

Zhu Jin asked silently, looking straight at the red, watching that red overlapping with the red from a hundred years ago.

"Sister...what's wrong with you?" Helian Zhen stared at Zhu Jin's eyes, looked down at the red dress on her body, raised the corners of his mouth almost invisibly, stroked his arm and asked carefully.

Even she herself didn't understand why she chose red. This was a color she had always avoided before because she couldn't handle it. Red had always been the exclusive color of her mother and sister. But now, this red seemed to be tailor-made for her.

It is undeniable that she fell in love with red.

"You are so eager to see me, is there something wrong?" Zhu Jin raised his eyebrows and returned to normal. He looked at the two of them and chuckled. He looked at them leisurely, and the teasing in his eyes could not be concealed. "You even said something like father... Dad's excuse, what's the matter?"

Helian Zhen widened his eyes, "Sister...you misunderstood..."

Shang Lu had a subtle expression on his face.

Zhu Jin frowned slightly, looking at the two people who didn't answer, holding his forehead with a helpless smile, lowered his head and looked at his reflection on the ground and waited for a moment, seeing that they still didn't speak, he turned around and walked back, "You said I misunderstood, but didn't say what the misunderstanding was... If you don't say it, I'm leaving... Don't make trouble in the future..."

"Nannan? How do you talk like that? I don't believe you if you really say you've become a different person. Why do you talk to your sister like that?" An unpleasant voice interrupted Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin stood stiffly, motionless in the same place. After a moment, he blinked twice with dull eyes and walked back again with heavy steps.

"Nannan! Stop!" The voice that was so familiar to Zhu Jin as if engraved in her soul rang in her ears again. Zhu Jin stopped again, and tears burst out of her eyes almost instantly.

"Doctor Zhu Jin..." Following her back, prison guard Qiu, who had been watching her, was startled to see her tears and hurried to help Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin subconsciously grabbed the hand of prison guard Qiu, steadied himself, and used all his strength to turn around.

In the blurred vision, a familiar figure appeared...

Zhu Jin raised her hand and wiped it randomly. Her vision gradually became clear. The familiar figure standing at the other entrance of the leisure area was walking towards her. The most familiar figure, the most familiar and the most distant face, the same face, the same eyes, more than a hundred years ago, this person's face was her whole world.

"..." Zhu Jin's mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. There was only a vague "hehe" sound in his throat. He stretched out his hand and rushed forward without thinking. He took two steps and immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Doctor? Doctor?" Prison guard Qiu gritted her teeth and broke free from Zhu Jin's grip on her hand. Without taking the time to check the condition of her painful hand, she rushed to help her up, only to find that her whole body was limp, but she was still struggling forward, her eyes fixed on His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Nannan, what's wrong?" Prince Sumu walked in with a stern face. When he saw his daughter's appearance, the expression on his face was quickly replaced by anxiety, and he ran forward quickly.

"Sister..." Helian Zhen stared blankly at his sister whose face was filled with tears and he was so fragile that he was totally unable to connect her now with the sister who teased and bullied the strong sister just a moment ago.

Shang Lu unconsciously clenched his hands into fists, his whole body tensed, his fists trembling from exerting too much force, he turned his head away from Zhu Jin, not daring to look at her. His lips trembled as he silently apologized, "I'm sorry... Zhu Jin..."

What he said to Zhu Jin was endless sorry, and after saying sorry, it was still sorry.

"Nannan, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? Don't scare me, Nannan." Su Mu picked up his daughter and checked her body nervously, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you in pain? Nannan, say something..."

"Dad... Dad..." Zhu Jin kept shouting and shaking her head to show that she was fine, but she still couldn't make any sound. When Su Mu approached, she grabbed Prince Su Mu's clothes and wouldn't let go, staring at him with tears in her eyes.

"Nannan, what's wrong with you? Don't be afraid, Daddy is here, tell me what happened..." Su Mu looked at Zhu Jin's tearful face and the frightened look in her eyes, feeling heartbroken. He hugged her and frantically helped her wipe her tears, "I'm sorry, Nannan, it's Daddy's fault. I haven't come to see you for so long, and I was mean to you as soon as we met. It's Daddy's fault, Nannan, don't cry, don't cry..."

"Dad..." Warm body, familiar warm big hands, Zhu Jin stared at him in a daze, finally slowly calmed down, and murmured.

For decades, she had not seen her father since he passed away. She could not even dream of him because she could not sleep. As time passed, the clear face in her mind became more and more blurred. Later, her biggest fear was to forget what her father looked like.

Fortunately, she didn't forget. Fortunately, she never forgot, no matter how he looked when he was young or how he looked when he was old. The once blurred figure became clear again at this moment.

Zhu Jin looked at it greedily, unable to tell whether it was a nightmare or reality. The warm body and touch should have been real, but she couldn't believe she would see it again...

"Hey, Daddy is here, here, Nannan, don't cry, don't cry..." Su Mu couldn't hold back his tears when he heard her cry. This was because Lian Nan had learned ancient Chinese and knew that ancient people called their fathers "daddy". She came to tell him that she wanted to make "daddy" her exclusive name for him, and that she would only call him that when they were together in private...

He said his daughter didn't lose her memory, she wouldn't lose her memory! Su Mu thought, his eyes swept over Zhu Jin's hand holding his clothes, and saw that it had turned white due to excessive force, so he hurried to coax her, "Nannan, don't be so hard, let go, let go... Dad won't leave... won't leave..."

Zhu Jin obeyed and loosened his grip, but he didn't let go. He still stared at him. His confused mind only thought of one question: Is this his father? Is this his father?

"Doctor Zhu Jin? Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Besides Su Mu, the prison guard Qiu was the one who was most worried about Zhu Jin at the scene. Since Zhu Jin came to the prison, she has been directly responsible for everything. After more than a year, she has become familiar with Zhu Jin, but she has never seen her lose her composure like this.

“…I’m fine.” Zhu Jin’s perception of the surroundings slowly recovered, and his ears gradually regained hearing. He heard the sounds around him and saw the anxious prison guard Qiu beside him. After a pause, Zhu Jin slowly stood up and replied, his eyes still looking at Su Mu.

"Are you really okay, Nannan?" Su Mu asked, still half-supporting her.

"Sister, are you okay?" Helian Zhen's worried voice sounded at the right time.

Nan Nan...sister...this is not his father. His father would not call her Nan Nan. He would directly call her Zhu Jin. She has no sister. She is the only daughter...

Zhu Jin's dazed look slowly returned to normal and he looked around slowly.

Familiar scenes, with prison guard Qiu, Helian Zhen, Shang Lu, and Lian Nan's father who came to see her...

"I'm fine, but when I saw... Dad, I was a little... out of control." Zhu Jin slowly let go of Su Mu's hand with difficulty, took a step back and pulled a chair to the side to sit down, "I'm going out tomorrow, why did Dad come to see me?"

"Of course I'll come to see you when I come back." Su Mu dragged a chair and sat aside, a little worried, "Nan Nan, are you angry with Dad?"

"No, I have lost my memory... I don't remember anything that happened before." Zhu Jin looked at him quietly and answered softly, letting the powerlessness in his heart overwhelm him.

"… Let's talk about these things when we get home." Su Mu looked at Prison Guard Qiu and saw that he didn't say that Zhu Jin didn't have amnesia. He looked at her carefully, "Nan Nan, are you really okay?"

"It's okay." Zhu Jin smiled, still keeping his eyes on him, looking at him greedily.

"I was wrong to scold you as soon as we met just now, but... you became so rude all of a sudden, I couldn't help but say... Nannan, we have to live a good life after we get out, and we can't just give up on ourselves." Su Mu was delayed for a while because he went to the bathroom, and when he came back, he saw his daughter like that. He was shocked and angry. He looked at his little daughter standing beside him and asked Zhu Jin in a low voice, "Nannan, what happened between you and Zhenzhen?"

"Nothing." Zhu Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Helian Zhen, and said lightly.

"It's nothing. You and her were so close before, not like now." Su Mu hesitated and asked, "Nan Nan, it's not because you become estranged because Zhen Zhen became a princess..." Su Mu tried to persuade Zhu Jin sincerely, just like he had advised her countless times before that the little daughter was always envious and a little jealous of her sister for being a princess.

He had wanted to say these words for a long time. When they were on the alien planet, the two daughters gradually became estranged, which was one of his biggest concerns. The two daughters becoming estranged was what he least wanted to see. It was rare to have two sisters, so he should support them all the way.

Facing two daughters, he was just an ordinary father. He didn't favor any of them, nor did he think too much like outsiders, such as who would be the best princess. When the eldest daughter was a princess, he hoped that she could become the queen smoothly. He felt bad when the eldest daughter's position was taken away, but when the youngest daughter became a princess, he could only hope that she could do well and take care of her sister like the eldest daughter took care of her younger sister.

"Zhenzhen, you too, I'm also very dissatisfied with your performance during this period..." As Sumu advised his eldest daughter to criticize his younger daughter, Zhu Jin looked at Prince Sumu quietly, letting the extravagant hopes in his heart that he dared not even think about become shattered bit by bit. As Sumu spoke his heart to heart, his expression changed from wooden to sad, and finally returned to calm.

He has the same face and is the same father, but he is really not her father.

His father would never be like this.

Her father was really gone.

No matter how much this man resembles her father, no matter that he still has the same blood as hers, he is not her father.

He is Lian Nan's father and will also be her father, not a father, just a father.
