Chapter 105 - In Another Life (2)
"She has forgotten about his looks, but if she could remember her childhood and the time they spent together, she should be able to come back and see him, right?" Su Xiaofei commented.
"It's not as simple as that, Feifei. The girl was diagnosed with retrograde amnesia. She was slowly forgetting the memories from her childhood for some unknown reason. She knew there was a boy she grew up with from the hint of memories of her childhood that came to her. From her memories, she could tell that this boy was really close to her heart." Lu Qingfeng explained, although he wasn't sure how she would react to the next turn of events.
"So what happened next? Did the boy do something to see her?" She questioned. Her thoughts about her biological father were forgotten as she was now engrossed in Lu Qingfeng's story.
"It took some time for the boy's health to get better, once he was a little better, he followed the girl to the capital to see her himself, only for the girl to claim she doesn't know him and can't recognize him. Her mother had died, and all the properties and assets her mother had left obviously fell into her hands."
"But why couldn't she believe him?"
"Because it turned out that there was another boy who claimed his spot and brainwashed the girl to believe that he was the one whom she grew up with, and they'd always been together."
Su Xiaofei groaned at that. Couldn't that girl be any more stupid? How could she believe the words of another boy she barely knew? Shouldn't she realise at some point that he was not the boy whom she spent her whole childhood with?
"The girl was obviously smitten by the other boy and became infatuated with him. She believed every word he said, and the more the real boy tried to reach her, the more the other boy fooled her to believe that she was being deceived. The young boy was obviously heartbroken from what happened. He believed that the other boy fed her lies that put the wedge between them. The other boy produced photoshopped photos of them, deceiving the girl to believe his words over the young boy."
"Oh, dear. I feel like if the girl found out that she was being lied to, all hell's break would lose given her personality. She would also feel a lot of guilt for suspecting and not believing her friend." She commented.
"Anyway, why is it that when a woman falls in love, her brain becomes mushy? I bet that even if the guy look like a seahorse, he would be the most handsome in her stupid brain." She mumbled, making Lu Qingfeng cough into his hand in an attempt to stop himself from laughing.
"So does this mean that Mo Yuchen looks like a seahorse in your eyes now?" He gave her a teasing smile.
Su Xiaofei huffed and looked away. "He's the best clown in town, Xiao Feng."
"Hmm… Is that so?"
"Hey, continue the story now. You can't leave me on a cliffhanger!" She glared at him.
"Okay. Okay. Where was I then?" He was surprised that she was willing to listen to his story.
"The part where the other boy deceived the girl and pretended to be the one whom she grew up with." Su Xiaofei reminded him.
"Right. The other boy did all of those just to marry the young girl and get his hands on her inheritance." Lu Qingfeng continued, however, Su Xiaofei's words forced him to a stop.
"I knew it! Bastard! He wouldn't waste his time and deceive the girl if he didn't need anything from her. So from the moment he found out about her degrading memories, he'd taken advantage of her!" She was now fuming in anger. Su Xiaofei knew that it was just a story, but she couldn't help but feel affected by it.
Wait. Wasn't it similar to what Mo Yuchen did to her in her previous life? He had taken advantage of her, fooled her to believe that he'd come to love her, just so she would marry him. It had been a grave mistake on her part when she refused to agree with her mother to ask Mo Yuchen to sign a prenup agreement between them.
Lu Qingfeng waited for Su Xiaofei to calm down before he continued his story. He didn't mean to make her upset by telling her the story of his first life. It wasn't like he wanted her to feel guilty or sad for him. It didn't matter if Su Xiaofei in his first life was different, because her heart and soul remained the same.
There were still things he couldn't understand from his first and second lives, but he could only do his best to protect her in this third life. What was the point of telling her this? Lu Qingfeng also had no idea.
"Sorry. You can continue your story telling. I want to know how the story ends." Su Xiaofei said once she calmed down.
"The young boy did all he could to prove himself, but the girl was already blinded by love and lies. She married the man and, without her knowing, her husband plotted against the boy's life and killed him. Eventually, the girl also lost her life five years after the boy's disappearance, but before that, her husband had started to neglect her and barely saw her at home, which broke her heart, leaving her in deep depression. She died alone on their marital bed, holding a stalk of canola flower in one hand."
Lu Qingfeng finished his story. The memories weren't as clear as the one he had from his second life.
Su Xiaofei fell silent after that. Lu Qingfeng could see that she was upset by how the story ended.. He had no doubt that she was already berating the girl in her mind, thinking of how foolish the girl was for not believing the boy she grew up with.
