Chapter 224 Inexplicable Hostility and Fear
Shen Zhichu suppressed the discomfort in his heart, watched Xia Mingyue put on her shoes, and asked, "Have you had lunch?"
Xia Mingyue replied with a smile: "Not yet."
"That's great, stay and have dinner together."
Xia Mingyue agreed.
Mrs. Liu poured two glasses of juice. Xia Mingyue took it and drank it slowly with a straw. The corners of her mouth turned up, and the tail of her eyebrows raised slightly. She looked at Shen Zhichu while drinking the juice.
He looked her over from head to toe, finally stopping at her hand and letting out a soft chuckle.
Shen Zhichu suddenly felt like taking off all her clothes and being watched naked by her. That feeling was very bad, and she didn't know what to say to stop her from doing this.
Subconsciously, Shen Zhichu really disliked Li Jingshen, her godsister. What she was sure of was that she knew her before she lost her memory. As for what happened, it was probably not that simple.
We should always be on guard against others, especially since she has lost her memory now and doesn't remember whether it's good or bad, so it's better to be cautious.
"Were we acquainted before?"
Xia Mingyue put down the juice in her hand and wiped her mouth calmly. She had a gentle temperament, but for no reason she gave people a feeling of being pretentious.
"It's okay. Anyway, we know each other and have met a few times." Xia Mingyue paused, her eyebrows turned, "Sister-in-law, do you really have no impression of me at all?"
Shen Zhichu met her eyes, paused for a moment, and then shook his head.
She really didn't remember. The more she thought about it, the more her head started to hurt. A sense of fear rose in her heart, and her heart was in a mess. A voice kept ringing in her ears, telling her not to think about it.
Mrs. Zhang prepared lunch quickly. Because there were "guests", she prepared more than usual, four dishes and one soup, including both meat and vegetables.
Xia Mingyue came to the table with the attitude of a hostess. She glanced at the dishes on the table and curled her lips: "Sister-in-law, you have lost your memory and you may not know what Brother Jingshen likes and dislikes, right?"
"I have indeed forgotten."
Xia Mingyue poured a bowl of soup and picked out the chopped green onions floating on the surface with chopsticks: "Brother Jingshen doesn't like green onions like me. Oh, and he doesn't eat ginger or garlic either. He has a light taste and doesn't eat offal or beans..."
When Xia Mingyue said this again, she was undoubtedly declaring the initiative to Shen Zhichu.
Shen Zhichu listened quietly without saying a word.
"Sister-in-law, if you need it, I can write it to you." Xia Mingyue paused, glanced at Chen Zhichu's hands casually, and said in surprise: "I forgot that your hands can no longer cook."
His fingertips trembled, and Shen Zhichu's eyes narrowed slightly: "No need, because usually Li Jingshen remembers my preferences and taboos."
Xia Mingyue's expression changed, and she ate quietly, without making any trouble this time.
Shen Zhichu put down his chopsticks after eating half a bowl of rice. Just as he was about to check the time, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Li Jingshen sent her a text message, asking her if she had eaten.
Seeing Xia Mingyue's eyes following him, Shen Zhichu raised his phone openly: "This is a text message from your brother. I told him you're here. Why don't you stay for a while after dinner?"
"No, he doesn't want to see me. I'll leave soon."
Xia Mingyue didn't like to explain everything clearly, leaving half of the space for Shen Zhichu's imagination. What was imagined was often more annoying than what was said directly.
After lunch, Xia Mingyue prepared to leave. Chen Zhichu stood up to see her off. When she reached the door, Xia Mingyue looked up at the surveillance cameras around her.
Zhao lowered his head and turned his back to the camera and said to Shen Zhichu: "Shen Zhichu, it's best if you can't remember it for the rest of your life. Amnesia is the best outcome for you."
Xia Mingyue's face was ferocious for a moment, and then turned into unwillingness.
Shen Zhichu choked, what did she mean by this?
Facing Xia Mingyue's ambiguous smile, Shen Zhichu almost asked what was in his heart.
He was calling her "sister-in-law" just a moment ago, but now he calls her by her name. After watching Xia Mingyue leave, Shen Zhichu glanced at the slippers on the ground.
Why did Xia Mingyue come today? Why did he say these words to her? Why did she leave with such a righteous momentum?
Chen Zhichu began to feel a little cold, as if there was a hole somewhere and cold wind was blowing in. She didn't want to think about other people's thoughts, but the more she restrained herself from thinking about it, the more she couldn't help but think about it.
Shen Zhichu sat on the sofa in a daze, looking at the text message that Li Jingshen replied to. She thought for a while and finally put the phone down.
Half an hour after the meal, the housekeeper told Shen Zhichu to take the medicine and wanted to see her take the medicine before leaving.
After taking the medicine, Chen Zhichu took a walk in the yard to digest the food and then returned to the bedroom to take a nap. He originally planned to take a short nap, but he ended up sleeping for two hours as soon as he closed his eyes. He felt dizzy, his eyes were swollen, and his mouth was dry.
…….
When Li Jingshen came back, he saw that the slippers on the ground were in a different position than where he had placed them in the morning. He asked the housekeeper directly, "Who moved my slippers?"
"Miss Xia was wearing your slippers when she came today."
Li Jingshen frowned. He never liked outsiders touching his things, even if they were used slippers.
"Throw it away."
The housekeeper was stunned.
"From now on, no matter who comes, they are not allowed to touch mine and Shen Zhichu's things."
The butler replied, "Yes."
Li Jingshen asked about Shen Zhichu's condition, and after learning that it was no different from usual, he nodded.
Li Jingshen did not expect Xia Mingyue to come suddenly today. When the housekeeper called him to tell him that Xia Mingyue came to the villa, he felt a chill down his spine and wanted to come back immediately to kick her out.
But he was afraid that his extreme behavior would arouse Shen Zhichu's suspicion, so he could only ask the housekeeper to warn Xia Mingyue what to say and what not to say.
Even so, he was still worried, so he took advantage of his break at the company to check the surveillance video.
Xia Mingyue was quite satisfied with the result and didn't say anything more, but she didn't know whether Shen Zhichu would be suspicious. She was always smart.
As soon as Shen Zhichu went downstairs, she saw the slippers in the trash can, as if they were placed there on purpose for her to see.
After a good nap, Shen Zhichu woke up feeling less depressed than she had been at noon. Looking at the slippers in the trash can, she asked, "Do you have any problem with your godsister?"
I thought Li Jingshen would say something euphemistically, but she just hummed and said, "She's not a likable person. You should have less contact with her in the future, and don't listen to what she says."
It seems that the opinions are quite profound, and Shen Zhichu's mood suddenly became cheerful.
"She talked a lot about your likes and dislikes during dinner today. It seems like she and you have a very good relationship."
"What are you avoiding?"
"What about not eating onions, ginger, garlic, or offal?" Shen Zhichu glanced at him lightly, his tone very indifferent.
Li Jingshen broke out in a cold sweat. He bet that if he didn't say it as a matter of course and make a statement today, Shen Zhichu might not let him go to bed.
"I eat it."
Shen Zhichu licked his lips, touched his chin with his hand, and nodded with a smile: "That's good."
So, next Li Jingshen saw Mrs. Zhang bring the dishes to the table. Not only green onions but also coriander were added to the soup. Two of the three dishes were offal, and one was cucumber with mashed garlic.
Li Jingshen: “…….” He ate two bowls of rice with tears in his eyes.
