Chapter 162: The Original Book

Chapter 162

And so, life went on peacefully and serenely. But later, Chi Yan felt that something was off, everything felt amiss. When he was sitting alone in the library reading, he felt that someone should have been sitting beside him. When he was driving, he felt that someone should have been sitting in the passenger seat. When he returned to the house near the school, he found himself cooking for two.

Everything felt wrong. That's right, he should have had a girlfriend. Where was his girlfriend?

He asked Wei Feng and the others, "Where is my girlfriend?"

Wei Feng looked puzzled. "Chi Yan? Have you gone crazy? Where would you have a girlfriend from? You're a single dog."

No, that's not right. He did have a girlfriend.

Chi Yan then asked his uncle, "Where is my girlfriend?"

Chi Xin then took him to the hospital for a check-up, and the conclusion was, "That must be someone you imagined. It's probably caused by the accident before."

Chi Yan was certain that he wasn't imagining things. He was perfectly fine, and he should have had a girlfriend. But where was she? He couldn't recall her at all.

Chi Yan was anxious. He knew that he had forgotten someone very important. He had a girlfriend, but why was everyone saying he didn't?

He did have a girlfriend. They had been together all the time. She was very beautiful and gentle. They held hands, kissed, went to the library to study together. There were traces of them all over the campus. Why was everyone saying there wasn't?

One day, he went to a neighboring university for an event. There, he overheard two people discussing, "That Chu Yang is so awful."

"Yeah, what a disgusting cheater."

"How could our university have someone like her?"

"I heard she even wanted to drug the school heartthrob Gu to get ahead. Didn't expect her to harm herself instead. Hahaha."

"She deserved it. Someone like her is so disgusting."

"I heard she came to school today. How does someone like her still have the face to come to school? So disgusting."

...

Chu Yang?

Chi Yan felt that this name sounded very familiar. He went up and asked, "Where is this Chu Yang?"

The two girls looked at him strangely. "Student? Why are you looking for Chu Yang? She's a cheating bitch who came here. A disgusting woman."

Chi Yan didn't say much else. "Just something."

"We don't know where she is either. Probably in the dorms."

"Okay, thanks."

Then Chi Yan went to the girls' dorms at A University. When he arrived, he saw a girl being pushed to the ground, surrounded by people pointing and whispering at her. From their words, he knew that girl was Chu Yang.

Chi Yan looked over. The girl called Chu Yang looked pale and frail, a pitiful sight. But her overall appearance didn't evoke any sympathy. Chi Yan frowned slightly. This person wasn't right, it wasn't her.

After that, Chi Yan rarely heard about this person anymore. When he did hear news, it was always bad news. Eventually, he happened to hear that the girl called Chu Yang was found dead in a rental house.

There was no more news after that.

Time passed until Chi Yan graduated. He then joined the Chi Corporation. A long time later, he took over his grandfather's business. But he knew that he had been searching for someone all this time, a phantom person.

He searched for so long, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find her... He asked so many people, but everyone said he was imagining it. Only he knew that he truly wasn't imagining it, that there really was such a person. So how could he find her?

...

Early one morning around 5 AM, Chi Yan woke up from his sleep, gasping for air. It seemed like he had a dream where he was searching for someone, but he didn't know who that person was. The rest of the dream's content escaped him. Sitting on the bed, Chi Yan checked his phone. It was just past 5 AM.

Outside was pitch black. In the dorm, Wei Feng was still grinding his teeth in his sleep. Chi Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He opened WeChat and his note-taking app, which only had one entry:

Yangyang likes fish but can't eat too spicy food. She loves apples and peaches and isn't too picky. Her period is around the 15th of each month. She likes purple and white clothes. And her measurements are AA.BB.CC. She likes half-sweet milk tea. Her birthday is...

The entire note was over a thousand words, all about a girl named Chu Yang.

Chi Yan then looked at his Moments, all filled with photos of that same girl. Chi Yan couldn't help but smile, but then he suddenly froze...

After staring for a long time, Chi Yan put down his phone. He kept his eyes open until daybreak. At 6:30 AM, his phone calendar reminded him: Today is Yangyang's class schedule in the morning...

Chi Yan sighed. All his traces and feelings, as well as his physical reactions, told him that he truly liked her very much.

...

Chu Yang and Jin Yang had just left the Literature Building and were heading to the cafeteria when they saw Chi Yan approaching from the opposite side. Jin Yang quickly moved away from Chu Yang. "Yangyang, I'll leave you two alone." Then she ran off.

Chu Yang stood there as Chi Yan walked up to her. "I need to talk to you about something."

Chu Yang hugged her books, her expression cold. "What is it?"

Chi Yan noticed the gossiping and whispering around them. "Can we find somewhere else to talk? You haven't eaten yet, right? Let me treat you to a meal."

Chu Yang also noticed that the entrance wasn't a good place for conversation, so she got into Chi Yan's car.

They went to a restaurant near the school gate and got a private room. When ordering, Chu Yang only picked one dish, but Chi Yan remembered what he saw in the note that morning and ordered Chu Yang's favorite dishes.

Before the food arrived, Chu Yang asked, "So what is it?"

Chi Yan poured her a cup of tea. "I wanted to say... we..."

Chi Yan took a deep breath and finally spoke his mind, looking intently at Chu Yang. "What I wanted to say is, can we not break up? All the evidence shows that we like each other. Since we like each other, why separate? Even if I forget, my heart tells me that I like you."

But Chu Yang shook her head. "But my heart doesn't feel like I like you."

Chi Yan looked into her eyes. "Really? You really don't like me? Have you seen our Moments? There are many of your belongings at my house near the school, including clothes, shoes, bags, and your books."

Chu Yang paused. Her clothes? She looked into Chi Yan's eyes. His eyes were beautiful, filled with something she couldn't comprehend. Chu Yang lowered her gaze, unable to look any longer. But her hands unconsciously clenched. What was going on? Then her heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, Chi Yan grabbed her hand. "Do you feel repulsed?"

Chu Yang tried to pull away but couldn't. She looked at Chi Yan. "Let go."

Chi Yan suddenly looked pitiful. "No."

At that moment, the server brought the dishes in. With great effort, Chu Yang managed to pull her hand free and turned her head away.

Chi Yan lowered his head despondently. After a while, he still proceeded to remove the bones from the fish, as if he had done it countless times before. "Let's eat. You like fish."

Chu Yang watched his movements and sighed. No matter what, food still needed to be eaten. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
