Chapter 187 Losing Part of My Memory
"What did you say?!"
Fan Yali's face turned ashen.
She didn't care whether Chu Qingxue was crying or not; she grabbed Chu Qingxue's shoulder and didn't even notice the red marks she left on it.
"Explain yourself clearly, what do you mean by 'if you weren't his first love'?"
Fan Yali stared with wide eyes, as if she wanted to devour Chu Qingxue.
Chu Qingxue explained while sobbing:
"Actually... I don't know who Junyan's real first love was. He got it wrong from the beginning, mistakenly thinking I was his first love, and I... just went along with it..."
The more Chu Qingxue spoke, the softer her voice became.
Chu Qingxue was born into a relatively wealthy family. Chu Gang and Fan Yali originally hoped to have a son to inherit the family fortune, but they ended up having a daughter.
However, in Fan Yali's view, daughters have their advantages. If they grow up to be beautiful, they can find a rich husband and help their family expand their business.
Therefore, they cultivated Chu Qingxue's talents in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age, guiding her towards becoming a socialite in high society.
Chu Qingxue has no talent; she's just an average kid.
However, in order to meet her parents' expectations and guidance, she worked very hard.
During the summer vacation of her second year of high school, Chu Qingxue participated in the National Piano Competition and successfully entered the finals.
Her parents had high hopes for her, believing she could win a national championship.
Who would have thought that in that competition, there was a particularly outstanding talent.
Her piano skills were on a completely different level from the other contestants.
Chu Qingxue ultimately only came in second place.
She knew perfectly well that in other people's eyes, if she wasn't number one, she was utterly defeated.
Chu Qingxue was initially disheartened, but unexpectedly, the first-place winner suddenly gave up the award, and she naturally moved up one place, transforming herself into the national champion.
Chu Qingxue was incredibly excited at that moment.
She believes this is God's favor and reward for her years of hard work.
But what she never expected was that the windfall wasn't just the empty title of piano competition champion—
And Lu Junyan.
“Junyan approached me first. As soon as he saw me, he called me Achu. At the time, I had no idea what was going on…”
Chu Qingxue told Fan Yali the truth.
She was holding the championship trophy and was about to leave the venue when a teenager suddenly blocked her way.
The boy was very handsome; he was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life.
No big star or young heartthrob can compare to him in the slightest.
Chu Qingxue was stunned, only able to hear her own heart pounding.
The boy called her A-Chu as soon as he spoke.
Chu Qingxue's surname is Chu, but no one has ever called her that.
Her relatives and friends all call her Qingxue.
Seeing her completely bewildered expression, the boy checked again:
"You're the champion of this piano competition, right?"
Chu Qingxue nodded.
She is.
"It's you, Achu. It's me, Lu Junyan. Don't you remember me?"
The boy's eyes sparkled with a brilliant light, like bright stars in the night.
Chu Qingxue could tell that the other person probably liked the girl named A Chu.
“You’ve changed so much. Back then, you had grandma’s gray curly hair and wore braces… We were both in juvenile detention…”
The boy recounted his precious past memories to Chu Qingxue with great enthusiasm, but Chu Qingxue was certain—
The other party has mistaken you for someone else.
Her surname is Chu, but she is not the Chu the boy was talking about.
"I've finally found you..."
The boy's voice choked with emotion, and his eyes glistened with tears.
At that moment, a voice spoke to Chu Qingxue:
As long as you acknowledge that you are Achu, this handsome guy will give you all his love.
"sorry……"
Chu Qingxue's eyes also reddened.
"I had a serious illness before and lost some of my memory, so... could you tell me about what happened between us before? Maybe it can help me regain my memory..."
Chu Qingxue smiled shyly and took the boy's hand.
From that day on, she became Achu—
She became Lu Junyan's first love.
After Chu Qingxue finished telling Fan Yali about her first encounter with Lu Junyan, Fan Yali's expression became even more unpleasant.
"So Lu Junyan is being so cold to you now, has he found out? Does he already know you're not his first love?"
Fan Yali's question left Chu Qingxue feeling uncertain.
She remained silent for a long time, then shook her head.
"No... I think Junyan hasn't found out yet..."
Are you sure?
Fan Yali didn't quite believe it.
Chu Qingxue hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, I'm sure."
Chu Qingxue believed she understood Lu Junyan.
Because she felt she understood him, she was the one who felt his changes most directly.
When Lu Junyan first found his Ah Chu, he was extremely considerate of her.
She transferred to the No. 1 High School in City A and became the most envied person by all the teachers and students.
Because Lu Junyan likes her, she is Lu Junyan's girlfriend.
Mo Yan also liked her and listened to her every word.
Yuan Pei also liked her and silently became her and Lu Junyan's follower.
In the first six months of her senior year of high school, Chu Qingxue even felt that she was the happiest person in the world.
However……
People grow up.
In youth, one can only have eyes for love, be like a moth drawn to a flame for love, and be willing to risk everything for love.
But as you get older, you carry more and more things in your heart.
Lu Junyan is a case in point.
Lu Junyan was exceptionally talented, and the Lu Group's business was handed over to him to manage very early on.
After he took over the Lu Group, the time he spent alone with Chu Qingxue became shorter.
In addition, Lu Junyan's grandfather kept giving him a dressing down, and Chu Qingxue could clearly feel that Lu Junyan's love for her was not as strong as before.
This is also why she went abroad in a fit of pique.
She wanted Lu Junyan, the one who had just found her and whose heart and eyes were only for her—
Even if she wasn't Achu.
"If... Junyan already knows that I am not Achu..."
Chu Qingxue murmured softly.
Fan Yali, who was holding Chu Qingxue's shoulders, felt Chu Qingxue shiver.
Lu Junyan will not let her go.
If Lu Junyan knew that all these years she had been using A Chu's identity to deceive his feelings, win his love, and enjoy the benefits he brought her...
Lu Junyan might even kill her.
Chu Qingxue grew increasingly frightened as she thought about it, her face turning deathly pale.
Fan Yali naturally knew what Chu Qingxue was afraid of.
She was afraid too.
Their Chu family is no match for the wealthy and powerful Lu family. Once this matter is exposed, not only Chu Qingxue, but the entire Chu family will suffer.
"Okay, Mom knows it's not easy for you, but you absolutely cannot tell anyone about this. You have to keep it to yourself. You are A-Chu, and no matter what anyone says, you are Lu Junyan's first love!"
Fan Yali said firmly.
"But Mom... what if... what if one day Junyan meets the real Achu?"
"impossible!"
Fan Yali sternly stopped Chu Qingxue from having wild thoughts.
"In Lu Junyan's eyes, you are the real A Chu. He already has A Chu, so why would he go looking for someone else? Remember, Qingxue, your only weapon right now is your identity as A Chu. You absolutely must make good use of this. As long as you are still A Chu, Lu Junyan will never be able to let go of his feelings for you... Both men and women have a filter for their first love..."
"Um……"
Chu Qingxue nodded, her expression still grave.
"As for Jiang Ning..."
Hearing Jiang Ning's name suddenly from her mother's mouth, Chu Qingxue raised her eyes.
