Forgotten Love - Chapter 1
Gu Huaian was in a car accident.
Fortunately, it was only a mild concussion.
On the way to the hospital, I thought of countless things to say,
To comfort him, in case his emotions were unstable.
But unexpectedly, when Gu Huaian saw me, he was stunned.
“Shen Qingruan, why is it you?”
A trace of confusion flashed across his pale face.
Then, as if remembering something, he frowned and asked me anxiously:
“Where’s Jiaojiao? She fell down the stairs with me. Is she alright?”
It had been nearly ten years since I last heard that name from Gu Huaian’s lips.
For a moment, I didn’t react.
“Who? Jiaojiao… Lin Jiao?”
“Who else? Shen Qingruan, what’s with that look in your eyes?”
Seeing the obvious displeasure in Gu Huaian’s eyes,
My heart gradually sank.
Gu Huaian… had he lost his memory?
And his memory was stuck at when he was eighteen.
When he protected Lin Jiao, who missed a step, and tumbled down the stairs with her.
“Shen Qingruan, are you mute? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
His impatient voice abruptly interrupted my thoughts.
I looked up and met Gu Huaian’s gaze.
Those clear eyes, which didn’t match his age, were filled with unconcealed anxiety.
“Huaian, just last month, you celebrated your thirtieth birthday.”
“Your memory must have been affected by the car accident.”
I took a deep breath, facing Gu Huaian’s look of disbelief,
And tried to calmly recount the things he had forgotten:
“And Lin Jiao, you haven’t mentioned her in a long time.”
“After all, back then, she… indirectly caused your father’s death.”
