Those fragmented moments, like shards of broken glass, flew past my eyes rapidly, scene after scene.
Although the flashes were incredibly fast, for some reason, he seemed to be able to clearly see the contents of each fragment of memory.
It was as if the memories contained in these fragments were actively poured into his mind, unfolding and flashing before his eyes like a movie playing at an accelerated pace.
Those scenes were all related to Shu Ying.
He gradually realized that perhaps Shu Ying wasn't wrong.
They used to be mortal enemies, and perhaps he really didn't like her...
The moment this guess popped into his mind, the thought of resistance grew wildly in Du Chenzhou's heart.
He absolutely refused to admit it.
Impossible, how could this be... If they were really mortal enemies, if he really didn't like Shuying, how could he have a pocket watch with her picture on it?
The pocket watch looked so old, with its metal case covered in worn scratches.
Even the photos on the inside are yellowed, indicating that they have been there for a long time and were often carried around and looked at.
And... and he had been so convinced that he liked the girl in the photo for so long, he had been looking forward to it for so long, and now he had finally met her in person...
He didn't want to experience, nor could he face, the feeling of shattered expectations.
He tried to glean even the slightest fragment from those rapidly flashing memories that could prove his point.
However, the harder you try to capture them, the faster they flash by, and the more elusive they become.
Gradually, Du Chenzhou broke out in a cold sweat, his head throbbed so badly that he trembled all over, and the rapid depletion of his mental energy almost made him lose his balance.
Du Chenzhou was like a fish about to die of thirst, desperately searching for his life-saving water source—
With trembling hands, he took out the pocket watch, opened the cover, and stroked the photograph on it as he used to, trying to find some solace.
He spent many days and nights like this.
He firmly believed that there was someone who loved him and was waiting for him to find her.
It was precisely because of this belief that he felt he was not alone and helpless, and that losing his memory did not cause him such panic and fear.
But now he's told that it was all his fantasy, that the woman he thought he loved was someone else's wife, and that she never loved him at all...
Du Chenzhou's head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to split open.
Xie Zhiyan frowned slightly, looked Du Chenzhou up and down, and his gaze fell on the movements of his hands.
What he was holding was...
Xie Zhiyan was suddenly taken aback.
How did this pocket watch end up in his hands?!
Without a word, Xie Zhiyan snatched the pocket watch from Du Chenzhou's hand, opened the cover, and checked it repeatedly.
The scratches are still there, each one left by him, so familiar.
Needless to say, the photo inside was placed there by him himself.
However, the pocket watch was older than when it was with him, with a dull, dark color, clearly indicating that it hadn't been well maintained.
Unlike before when I was by his side, when I had to take care of the watch almost every day, the case is now shiny and reflective despite the scratches.
But no matter how you look at it, it's clearly his watch.
It was his spiritual pillar in the past. In the days when Shu Ying was not around, it was it that supported him to wade through gunfire and survive the brink of death.
Xie Zhiyan could hardly believe it.
No wonder he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked; it turned out this person had taken it!
Shu Ying was puzzled for a moment, then leaned closer to take a look.
"Pocket watch?"
It was the pocket watch with her picture on it.
