Chapter 65 The Empress, Chi Du, is truly taking great care of everyone around her…
Surprisingly.
It's happened again.
The man in front of me was standing under the soft white light, a gentle smile on his face.
He wore a very plain light gray trench coat, his hair was a little tousled, and his orange-yellow pupils were like sunlight falling into honey.
Sang Li pursed her lips: "Why are you here?"
She thought that Chi Du's appearance that day was a dream, or rather, a product of the fusion of dream and reality. When someone appeared before her openly and honestly, she felt a sense of disbelief. It was like recalling how she had actually met Qin Ye, who possessed independent consciousness.
Chi Du gives off a very peaceful feeling. Her eyes always hold a smile when she looks at you, as if she has just walked out of a corner of a dream. She is quiet and clean, like the warm sun in winter.
However, this wasn't the second time they'd met. If he was a raven, he'd appeared the very night she stayed at Lu Jin's house. Then, the raven's claws pressed against her chest, leaving a mark.
"Want to try the blueberry jam flavored yogurt?" Chi Du held up the blue-packaged yogurt in his hand, his voice soft and gentle. "It won't make you gain weight, and the sweet and sour taste is just right for you."
Memory is a strange thing. Normally, you can't recall it and you're in a state of "you don't know, you don't know," but once someone gives you a slight reminder, it comes rushing back like a flood.
yogurt.
She squinted, and a picture suddenly flashed through her mind.
Sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting dappled patterns on the bedroom carpet. The little girl nestled on the sofa, clutching a bottle of blueberry yogurt, sipping it carefully. An animated film played on the television. Someone handed her a tissue and gently stroked her hair. She wanted to turn her head to see who it was, but the memory abruptly ended. Her intuition told her it must be Chi Du.
But Chi Du suddenly spoke up: "It wasn't me. I bought you the yogurt later. When you were little, your aunt always bought it for you."
It refers to Sang Li's mother.
Her mother's image gradually became blurry; she hadn't seen her in so long. Since her parents' divorce, she had been all alone. She could hardly even remember how she loved herself now. When it came to maternal love, it was as if her memory was blank.
Chi Du said, "This is your favorite product from the supermarket outside the community. Auntie goes to buy it every Wednesday and Saturday. Judging from your expression, you've probably forgotten about it."
Sang Li nodded hesitantly. She could hardly remember when she started to like this flavor of yogurt, let alone when she forgot about it. She could no longer even clearly see the influence of her mother on her.
Chi Du said, "It was your mother who told me."
He doesn't need to take credit, nor is he that kind of person.
Sang Li rubbed her temples; the feeling was so strange, like looking at flowers through a fog.
Just like...
A piece of her original memory inexplicably disappeared.
She initially thought that she had simply lost her memories of the time before her arrest.
But no, her memory has been impaired for a long time.
She loves drinking it, she really loves this yogurt.
She remembered the brand was called Little Bear, and when she was little, it was on sale for about 5 yuan for two cups, with the jam and yogurt packaged separately. It seemed her mother really liked buying it for her, and even argued with her father about it, with her father saying he couldn't drink yogurt all the time because it would be unhealthy. Later, her parents divorced, and it was Chi Du who bought it for her.
Chidu.
Why did she suddenly forget about the yogurt?
But the body doesn't lie; saliva has already started to be secreted in the mouth.
She tightened her grip on the bag of potato chips and looked up at Chi Du: "I think I'm starting to believe it a little bit."
“You should remember soon,” he said gently and patiently.
Sang Li's throat went dry, and she subconsciously looked into the distance. In the fresh food section, Bai Heng was standing in front of the glass boxes, picking out sea bass and talking to the salesperson. He was completely unaware of what was happening here.
She looked back at Chi Du, and felt a sharp pain in her head.
Chi Du and she must have a very deep connection. His ordinary, mundane words sounded like those of an old friend. But she just couldn't remember. Even though his presence was so familiar, as if it were a past buried deep in her bones, now about to be revealed with the slightest touch, a fog would rise in her mind whenever she tried to think about it.
Chi Du walked up to her, leaned down slightly, and smiled teasingly.
"Do you remember what I like to eat?" Chi Du asked. "What's the first thing that comes to your mind?"
It's a common question.
Sang Li didn't know the answer.
but.
"Mint chocolate milkshake and fruit yogurt fries."
Sang Li blurted it out almost without thinking.
Just like when I called out his name, without any hesitation.
Sang Li's heart beat even faster, as if her body was acknowledging him before her mind.
Chi Du's eyes crinkled into a smile, as if a promise had been quietly fulfilled.
“You remember me,” he said.
“I’m really happy.”
Sang Li stood frozen in place, the potato chips in her hand slightly deformed from being squeezed, her heart skipping a beat. Her reason was in turmoil, but her heart seemed to be entangled by some soft yet powerful emotion.
"Then what about my memory?" she asked cautiously. "Why did I forget you?"
Chi Du stopped smiling, lowered his eyes and looked at her for a few seconds, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the plastic seal of the yogurt bottle.
“Not now,” he said, his tone gentle yet firm. “Once you recover, they will find out.”
"By whom?"
“The abnormal fluctuations in your body are inherently unstable, and memories are the easiest way to trigger that part of your power.” Chi Du paused, his gaze turning to Bai Heng, who was still picking out fish in the distance. “Now is not the time. I will wait until the time is right, but starting today, we will see each other often, so don’t worry too much about me.”
"So, all these years, I've lived without knowing anything?" she murmured.
Chi Du looked at her with a tenderness that was unsettling. He didn't answer immediately, but instead placed the bottle of blueberry yogurt in her hand and whispered her name, almost in a murmur, "Li Li."
Sang Li was startled.
Chi Du's voice was low; those two words had echoed in her dreams countless times, so familiar that they almost brought tears to her eyes.
"I really miss you," he said, looking at her intently. "It's just that now isn't the best time, but it will be soon."
“I don’t understand.” Sang Li frowned.
"Then have some yogurt," Chi Du said. "Get some rest."
"Can we exchange contact information?" Sang Li suggested.
Chi Du laughed: "Of course I can see you whenever I want, and you can see me whenever you want."
Sang Li: "Then how can I tell you?"
Chi Du took out his phone: "Okay, luckily I was prepared."
Sang Li added Chi Du as a friend; Chi Du's WeChat was very simple.
Like the darkness of heartbreak.
Sang Li asked, "So, we're childhood sweethearts?"
Ike Watari: "We are lovers."
Sang Li tensed up immediately.
Lover?
My already anxious feelings became even more complicated.
How many lovers are they now?
Is she a "player"?
Or does the abnormal entity have a polyandrous system?
Queen ant?
Let's forget about it.
Chi Du found Sang Li's expression inexplicably funny: "You don't believe me?"
Sang Li: "...I don't believe in myself."
Dude, do you have no idea about my current life? I basically sleep with a BEAM captain named Lu Jin every night.
And occasionally, there are also anomalous entities that jump out and try to capture you, then imprison you on a mountain to be your wife?
If they are lovers, then her situation shouldn't be considered "cheating" anymore.
As for adjectives, Sang Li was reluctant to describe herself.
Chi Du immediately saw what Sang Li was thinking: "What do you think I should mind?"
“A man?” Sang Li asked tentatively. “You pushed me out.”
"No one can resist your charm; it's your soul, and you deserve it," Chi Du smiled.
At this moment, Sang Li suddenly felt that Chi Du gave her the feeling of being the empress.
They possess an air of complete indifference to women.
Chi Du said, "You won't fall in love with them. You just lack a sense of security, and I'm not by your side."
Sang Li: "Huh? You're not jealous?"
Chi Du smiled, his eyes radiating a confident and assertive self-assurance, as if the entire world were part of his script. His gaze met Sang Li's, as if he were slowly and methodically outlining the ropes that would bind her.
“Lu Jin?” He repeated the word as if it were something insignificant. “He’s just a seemingly righteous but actually sinister slut.”
Sang Li paused for a moment.
Chi Du turned his head to look at her, his tone still gentle, but with a hint of coldness: "How could I not understand him? Once you peel back his skin, you will find that he is much dirtier than you imagined. This kind of man is at most a 3 out of 10."
"As for Bai Heng," Chi Du chuckled, without even glancing at him, "he's just a coward. He thinks he can keep you with gentleness, but he never dares to truly get close to you. He's afraid of crossing boundaries, afraid of responsibility, afraid that you'll see his hidden desires. He's only 3 out of 10."
Sang Li looked at him silently.
Wow.
Chi Du is really seriously giving scores to every man around her.
Chi Du didn't stop, and continued in an almost arrogant and composed tone: "Other abnormalities? I wouldn't even look at them."
"They worship you because you are special. But I was born for you."
He spoke these words with a completely calm tone, as if they were an unquestionable truth. He looked at Sang Li with a burning and focused gaze.
"I don't understand."
"Of course you wouldn't understand, Lili." He sighed, slowly reaching out to pull open his collar.
It was a very faint red mark, located below his left collarbone. The shape was almost identical to the one on Sang Li's chest, only slightly lighter in color, looking like a burn mark that had slowly healed. The mark rose and fell with Chi Du's breathing, as if trembling with his heartbeat, silent yet eerily alive.
Suddenly, my chest felt very hot.
Sang Li lowered her head.
The marks that Lu Jin had supposedly washed away suddenly reappeared.
Perfectly intact, blooming on the chest.
