"Mr. Fu, there is something I have wanted to ask for a long time."
Qu Suihuan was not a shy person. She had not asked the question out of respect before. But now, this respect brought her endless troubles and she could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Fu Linchen returned her straightforward gaze and vaguely guessed what she wanted to ask.
He responded, "What?"
Qu Suihuan did not retreat again. He took a deep breath and asked him in one go.
"Mr. Fu, I'm not being sentimental. It's just that some of your actions gave me the wrong signals. So, I want to ask, are you... considering me as a substitute for your lover?"
Fu Linchen stared at her intently, his heart feeling as if it had been corroded by sulfuric acid, his nerves numb with pain.
substitute?
Oh……
What could he answer? Did he have a choice?
Even though the person he liked from the beginning to the end was her, the one and only her, he could only suppress his true feelings and deceive her.
"Ms. Qu, I'm sorry, I did treat you as a substitute."
For the first time ever, he admitted...
Qu Suihuan knew this was the answer. At first, she acquiesced to his behavior because she knew that his amnesia was caused by her.
But now that she had helped him regain his memory, she no longer owed him anything.
Qu Suihuan wanted to broach the subject, but Fu Linchen had helped her many times, and his eyes, filled with pain, were too lonely, as if he would fall into eternal damnation if he said one more word.
The words Qu Suihuan wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he felt helpless.
After a long while, she said, "Mr. Fu, you treat me as a substitute. This is wrong. Not only do you disrespect your lover, you also disrespect me."
"I understand your feelings of missing her, but I am not her. We are all unique, and no one can replace the other."
She tried to persuade him to change his ways, but she never expected that Fu Linchen would suddenly reach out and hold her in his arms.
He rested his chin firmly on her shoulder, hugged her tightly, and trembled all over.
Qu Suihuan wanted to push him away, but his burning tears hitting her shoulders made her words freeze in her throat again.
She could feel that he was trying hard to absorb the breath from her body, as if it was a life-saving antidote.
She didn't know what happened between Fu Linchen and his lover, but she knew very well that he must love her very much, just like the hero and heroine in the storybooks she had read.
For the last time, she let him hug her one last time as a thank you for his help many times.
The air was quiet, surging with layers of unknown emotions. Fu Linchen's cold blood was warming up little by little, causing the whites of his eyes to turn slightly red.
After a long time, he let her go and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Didn't you say you wanted to see my lover? I'll take you there now and tell you the story."
Qu Suihuan was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.
On such a night, several cars drove to a remote cemetery before the talent show was over.
The car stopped and the moment the door opened, the wind blew in my face, chilly and biting.
Qu Suihuan has better eyesight than ordinary people and can see the surrounding scenery clearly even in the dark.
Not far away are overlapping mountains, covered with wild flowers and the sparse sounds of insects and birds.
Fu Linchen took off his coat and gave it to her.
"Put it on, it's a bit cold."
Qu Suihuan did not accept his kindness.
"I'm not cold, thank you."
Fu Linchen withdrew his hand reluctantly and walked towards the cemetery with Qu Suihuan.
This place was built before he had remembered anything, so naturally it was built with great care.
"This is it."
Fu Linchen stopped and it was impossible to tell what he was feeling.
Qu Suihuan stared ahead, and it turned out to be...
Unknown monument.
She was a little confused and tilted her head, as if waiting for Fu Linchen to give her an explanation.
"I built this before I recovered my memory. I don't remember her name, so it's an inscriptionless monument."
Qu Suihuan nodded and agreed with him, but doubts filled his heart.
It was created before I lost my memory, so now that my memory has been restored, why not engrave it again?
Based on Fu Linchen's feelings for his lover, it would be impossible to delay until now.
But she didn't ask this question, leaving only a question in her heart.
She squatted down, stared at the inscriptionless monument, recalled the other party's help to her, and spoke softly.
"Hello, I'm Qu Suihuan. We finally meet. It's a pity that it has to be this way."
"Thank you for standing up for me when I was fighting alone in Dayan Village."
She said this while squatting, with a faint smile on her face.
Fu Linchen was staring at her from behind, veins bulging on his forehead, and he was trying his best to hold back from telling the truth.
“Although we have never met and I didn’t even know any information about you before, your kindness warms me. Thank you.”
"I wish you a smooth and worry-free life in your next life, and may all your wishes come true with your loved one."
After saying this blessing, Qu Suihuan closed his eyes, and in the void that no one else could see, a ray of light golden color rushed towards the grave.
She spent her merit points and wished that her benefactor would live a long and worry-free life in the next life.
The light golden spiritual power slowly enveloped the sky above the tomb, and then wrapped around the surroundings little by little. Just as it was about to pierce through the darkness, her consciousness suddenly stopped.
This is……
She frowned, her pretty face full of disbelief.
how so?
Why in the tomb...
There is no one at all!
Fu Linchen lost his memory and forgot his lover. Could it be that he even forgot his lover's body?
No, it's too unbelievable.
She couldn't help but recall the series of doubts that arose after she lost her memory. Now, these doubts piled up on top of each other, converging into a huge wave in her mind.
Why on earth did she feel that some things were totally illogical and unreasonable?
What exactly did she forget?
Qu Suihuan couldn't help but turn his head and asked Fu Linchen anxiously.
"Mr. Fu, can you tell me the story between you and her?"
Fu Linchen was stunned. The story between him and her...
Yes...she forgot...
He smiled foolishly, his flickering pupils seemed a little weak.
"She and I met in an accident. At that time, I had lost the will to live. She suddenly appeared and helped me get rid of the haze."
"At first, I just watched her life with envy, but gradually, I was deeply attracted by her inner soul, so I took the initiative to walk into her life..."
The man's voice was calm, with a satisfied smile on his face, and when he was telling the story, it seemed as if that was the happiest moment of his life.
Qu Suihuan was listening on the side, but his brows were not relaxed.
She could feel that Fu Linchen loved that girl very much, just like the normal story of redemption and secret love in the storybook, but...
She always felt something was wrong.
Too perfect? Too dramatic? Too obvious?
She couldn't find an exact location, nor could she resolve the doubts in her heart. She only felt a huge sense of panic and loss.
It was as if she had forgotten something extremely important, something that would shatter her physically and mentally.
What is it?
