Chapter 872 Candlelight Dinner for Two

Jiang Xuxu looked at the newly decorated courtyard in front of her, and was stunned for only a second. When she met Jiaotu's eyes, she only raised her eyebrows slightly.

Without asking any more questions, she walked forward and sat down at the side of the table.

Although she didn't think that such a dinner could awaken Chu Beihe's feelings for her in his current state, this was Jiaotu's intention, and she would naturally not let him down.

Seeing Jiang Xuxu sitting down without any hesitation, if she hadn't been stunned for a moment before, Jiaotu would have thought that she had known about her arrangements long ago.

However, looking at her reaction, Jiaotu knew that he must have done a great job.

Satisfied with watching the heroine sit down, Jiaotu immediately looked at Chu Beihe with expectation.

Chu Beihe: ...

He probably knows why Jiaotu did this.

In his memory, his housekeeper in the Chu family also liked to do this.

But Chu Beihe felt that such behavior was meaningless.

He could accept her following him, and he could accept her invitation to live next door to her, but he felt that anything more was unnecessary.

He would never become the Chu Beihe she knew, so why give her extra hope.

"You eat, I'll go back to my room."

As he turned and was about to leave, Jiaotu became anxious upon hearing this. Just as he was about to speak to stop him, he heard Jiang Xuxu speak first in the yard,

"It's okay, I can eat by myself."

There was not much emotion in her voice. She must have felt disappointed to be refused dinner, but that disappointment was not directed at Chu Beihe in front of her.

As for being sad, that was not the case.

Although it was not the case, she still added,

"Chu Beihe and I didn't have many opportunities to dine together like this before."

Chu Beihe glanced at Jiang Xuxu in the yard, his dark eyes deep, and turned away after a while.

Jiaotu became even more anxious.

This eldest brother is too cold now!

He finally arranged it, but this person didn't cooperate at all!

Xuxu was really left here alone!

Jiaotu was a little angry and wanted to find Chu Beihe to argue, but saw Jiang Xuxu suddenly winked at him.

She looked at him, then looked into the house, and then gave him a soothing look.

Before Jiaotu could react, he heard the footsteps that had gone far away suddenly coming back over there.

Chu Beihe stood under the eaves, looking at Jiang Xuxu who was still sitting alone in the yard, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, not understanding what kind of emotion was at work.

He was indeed planning to go back to his room just now.

But with every step he took, his mind was filled with the scene of her sitting alone in the yard eating, and her words that she could be alone.

Chu Beihe suspected that it was the feelings of his soul that were bothering him, but he... was indeed bothered.

So he came back.

When Jiaotu saw him coming back, his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Jiang Xuxu, and saw her blinking at him calmly. The young man immediately looked excited, and he didn't stand here, but turned around and walked into the house. In

just two seconds, half of his head popped out of the window at the other end of the corridor.

The next second, Gui Xiaoxu followed with the black mist, revealing half of his turtle head from behind his head.

Then it was Jin Xiaohe and Jin Xiaoxu, who appeared out of nowhere, all leaning on Jiaotu's head, looking at the situation in the yard.

After Chu Beihe returned to his original body, he no longer needed to eat every day according to human habits.

But since he sat down, he also ate with Jiang Xuxu.

The meal was prepared in advance by the chef that Jiaotu asked Jiang Huai to arrange for Jiang Xuxu. Not only was the presentation beautiful, but the taste was also amazing.

What disappointed Jiaotu and the others was that after Chu Beihe sat down, the two began to eat without a single word of communication throughout the whole process.

It was said to be having dinner together, but it was really just eating together.

Jiaotu was almost going to death. He knew that Jiang Xuxu was a quiet person and not very good at taking the initiative, but the stage was set for her, so she should at least say something.

And this Chu Beihe!

Who taught you to eat a candlelight dinner like this!

Just when Jiaotu was anxious and wanted to rush out several times, Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe finally stopped what they were doing, each picked up a cup of water on the table and took a sip, and then looked at each other.

Chu Beihe finally seemed to have heard Jiaotu's prayer and took the initiative to speak,

"I know Li Ting told you about me, then you should remember that as a dragon vein, I will fall into a deep sleep again every once in a while, and this time, even I can't control, maybe ten years, maybe a hundred years."

He said,

"Every time I wake up from a deep sleep, my memories of the past will fade, and as time goes by, those memories will only be simple memories in my mind...

just like the earth will always remember everything that has happened on this land, but will not feel sad or sad about it.

This situation is inevitable even if I turn back into the Chu Beihe you know. In this case, do you still want to continue to insist?"

He didn't say what she was insisting on, but they all understood.

Jiang Xuxu listened to him quietly until he finished speaking, and then she finally looked at him and spoke without any ambiguity,

"I don't know what will happen in ten or a hundred years, I only care about the present. As for what you said about memories becoming dull..."

When she said this, her voice slowed down, her eyes suddenly fell on him, and suddenly changed the subject and asked him,

"Chu Beihe, since we met again, you have always dressed casually. Is it because you prefer this style?"

Chu Beihe didn't know why she suddenly brought this up, but he still subconsciously replied to her,

"I dress like this because in the memory that belongs to Chu Beihe, I always dress like this..."

He suddenly stopped talking halfway.

Just now, a certain memory suddenly lit up in his mind.

Because he had never tried to recall it, he almost forgot it.

When he was the head of the Chu family, he was always dressed in a suit and tie, and was very meticulous.

It's because... her brother always disliked him because he was older than her.

So later, he put aside those stereotyped suits and started to dress himself younger.

To make himself look more... appropriate when standing next to her.

After waking up, he followed Chu Beihe's previous habits and didn't notice anything unusual about these habits.

But she noticed it.

And reminded him.

As long as the memory is still there, even if it is temporarily sealed and faded, as long as the right opportunity is encountered, the faded memory will be awakened.

Just blow gently to blow away the dust on it, revealing the original color underneath.

Chu Beihe looked at Jiang Xuxu in front of him, and his mind suddenly lit up the color of her when she was wearing a little dress and having dinner with him.

Bright and light.

Jiang Xuxu seemed to sense his change in mood, and suddenly stood up, walked to his side, gently bent over, and put her head close to him.

Qingling's eyes penetrated the layers of golden light and finally looked clearly into his eyes.

And she saw herself in his eyes.

"Chu Beihe, memory will not lie. Since you have our memories, I will believe that you are still the original you.

If you just lack the emotions in that memory, then I will help you find it back."

She said, without waiting for Chu Beihe to react, she leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the forehead unexpectedly.
