Chapter 213 Love is no longer pure if it is based on memories and the past.

Every word Meng Zhiyi uttered left a heavy blow to the Meng family and Shen Que's hearts.

For no apparent reason, everyone felt uneasy.

"Zhi Yi..."

Mother Meng felt a slight tightness in her heart and shouted out in a somewhat humiliating voice.

Before she could continue, Meng Zhiyi had already calmed down and gave them a faint smile.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Her tone was no different from usual, but it gave the Meng family an unprecedented sense of alienation.

They wanted to know the reason, but they had no idea where to ask.

Ever since he heard Meng Zhiyi's inner voice just now, no...it should be since she woke up, Shen Que has been feeling something was wrong.

"Yiyi, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Shen Que has always known that Meng Zhiyi has a good relationship with the Meng family on the surface, but in reality they don't have much affection for each other.

So at this moment, he thought selfishly that he didn't want Meng Zhiyi's emotions to be affected by them anymore.

Indeed, at this time Meng Zhiyi had not yet sorted out his emotions and did not want to have too much contact with the Meng family.

She nodded wearily.

"Do we need to call a doctor over for another careful check-up?" Mother Meng was still worried and asked softly.

Meng Zhiyi shook her head: "No, I don't have any problem. Shen Que is here, so my parents and brothers can go and work first."

"With something happening to you, how can we concentrate on our work? If you are tired, just take a rest. We are all waiting for you in the lounge next door." Meng Zhizhou spoke before his mother. His voice was gentle, without any displeasure at Meng Zhiyi's estrangement.

Meng Zhiyi wanted to say something, but seeing how haggard they all looked, he swallowed the words back.

[Forget it... whatever. ]

After she lay down, she reached out her hand from under the quilt and grabbed Shen Que's clothes.

"What's wrong?" Shen Que lowered his head and looked at her tenderly.

Meng Zhiyi stared at him for a long time, and the fingers that were clutching his clothes tightened unconsciously.

In a low voice, "Can you please not leave?"

Shen Que held her hand that was clutching his clothes, and wrapped his warm, dry palm around her: "I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay with you."

"Well... I want to sleep for a while..." Meng Zhiyi responded softly.

Shen Que: "Okay, I'm always here. No matter what time it is, you can see me when you open your eyes."

Shen Que's voice was very gentle, and in this world that was familiar yet unfamiliar to Meng Zhiyi, it had a power that could soothe her anxiety.

She curled her lips slowly, letting the uneasiness in her heart slowly dissipate, then she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

However, Old Madam Shen, who was standing by, didn't even have time to say a few words to her from beginning to end.

However, as long as she saw that she was fine, Mrs. Shen felt relieved.

She stood up and walked over, looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, reached out and touched her hair lovingly.

"I'm glad you're okay. Don't worry about the company during this time. Just stay here with her."

Shen Que: "Don't worry, grandma. I know."

Old Madam Shen looked at Meng Zhiyi and groaned for a moment, then turned to look at the Meng family in the lounge next door and said earnestly, "Is Zhiyi still not close to them?"

Shen Que: “Yeah, a little bit.”

"Ah..." Old Madam Shen sighed: "Well, if she doesn't want to, then I won't force her."

"Grandma..." Shen Que lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "From the beginning, you were very determined to get me engaged to Yiyi. Was it because we knew each other before? Or, are she and I... lovers?"

Hearing this, Madam Shen's heart trembled slightly, and she looked at him nervously: "Why do you ask this suddenly? Did you remember something?"

Shen Que: "No, it's just that Yiyi just wanted to see my waist, as if she knew that I was injured. But besides me, you and my parents are the only ones who know about this."

After hearing this, Madam Shen was a little excited: "Are you sure that Zhi wants to see your injuries?"

"Yes, it was when you came in just now."

Old Madam Shen turned around and looked at Meng Zhiyi with joy in her eyes.

So, Zhiyi has recovered his memory?

However, Old Madam Shen did not tell Shen Que about this matter because the whole thing was relatively too absurd and she didn't know how to explain it.

"You had an accident before, but you just forgot about it." Old Madam Shen said evasively: "As for you and Zhiyi, there are some things that you have to slowly experience for yourselves."

"No matter whether you knew each other before or what your relationship was, everything is a new beginning for you now."

"Love does not depend on your past relationship, but on the most genuine feeling at the moment. If it depends on memories and the past, it is not pure."

Shen Que nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After Madam Shen left, Shen Que stayed by the bedside.

The Meng family didn't leave either. The whole family was waiting in the lounge next door.

During this period, Qiao Shu and Lin Luoluo also came.

However, after waiting for a long time, Meng Zhiyi still didn't wake up, so they had to go back.

Until the evening, the sky outside the window was dyed red by the sunset.

When Meng Zhiyi woke up, Shen Que was sitting in front of the bed. He was holding his hand with one hand and looking at his mobile phone with the other.

The orange-red sunset shone through the window and fell on his body, as if he was coated with a layer of light, making him look so unreal.

Meng Zhiyi stared blankly, his mind constantly repeating the past that he had once forgotten.

After a while, she gently moved her fingers.

Shen Que noticed the movement and immediately put down his phone and looked at her.

Seeing that she was awake, he leaned over and said softly, "Now you're awake, do you want to continue sleeping?"

"I'm not sleepy anymore." Meng Zhiyi stared at him intently, and the hand that was held gently pinched his palm, and whispered: "My mouth feels a little bitter, I want to eat something sweet."

Shen Que felt a little itchy from her tickling, and he pulled his fingers back unconsciously: "How about some fruit? The cupcakes should be sold out by now, I'll have them delivered early tomorrow."

Meng Zhiyi: "Yeah, okay."

Afterwards, Shen Que helped her sit up, went to get a bunch of grapes, washed them, and came back, peeling them one by one and feeding them to her.

He was so careful that he even picked out the grape seeds.

After eating several of them, the bitter taste in my mouth was gradually eliminated.

"Don't you want to eat? I ordered some staple food for you, so leave some room for you."

Meng Zhiyi frowned, a hint of displeasure on her face: "More."

Shen Que looked at the little expression on her face and chuckled, but continued to peel her clothes lovingly.

Meng Zhiyi was not satisfied until he had almost finished half of the skewer.

It was already dark outside the window. When Shen Que got up to pack up, Meng Zhiyi looked through the crack in the door at the Meng family members sleeping on the sofa in the lounge.

Her eyes were somewhat scattershot, and her thoughts slowly drifted away.

[I never thought that I was actually Meng Zhiyi.]

[Not someone with the same name, not someone from a certain world, but me with flesh and blood, and an identity... 】

【But……】

Shen Que turned his back to her, and his hands unconsciously slowed down their movements...

Meng Zhiyi paused for a long time, so long that Shen Que thought she would not continue.

I could hear her voice sounding a little lost.

【I don’t seem to have a home.】
