Chapter 163
After finishing their meal, Chi Yan continued to assert his stance stubbornly, "No matter what, I don't agree. As long as I don't agree, we're not breaking up." He didn't dare look at Chu Yang, still feeling afraid.
Chu Yang didn't care whether he agreed or not, picking up her bag intending to leave directly, "As long as I agree, that's enough."
Chi Yan immediately grabbed her hand, "Your... your clothes are still at my place. You can see our 'love nest' and you'll know that we loved each other so much, we shouldn't break up. Even if you've forgotten me, I can pursue you all over again!"
Love nest?
Chu Yang felt so cringed that she shuddered. Turning around, "Take me there." She intended to bring her belongings back to the dormitory.
Chi Yan immediately took her to the community entrance, where the security guard greeted them. Chi Yan greeted him back, then looked at Chu Yang, "See, even the security guard knows we're a couple." Chu Yang ignored him.
Walking all the way to Chi Yan's house, Chu Yang felt quite familiar with it, possibly because she had frequently visited before?
After entering, she found that what Chi Yan said was true - the shoes in the foyer, the photos on the wall all showed that she must have stayed here often.
What made her even more embarrassed was that her clothes, big and small, inner and outer, were kept together with Chi Yan's. On the bedside table were photos of the two of them, with Chi Yan kissing her on the corner of her mouth. Chu Yang's face immediately reddened.
"This book, you should take a look. It seems to be yours, I don't understand it," Chi Yan picked up a book. These days, his close friends all told him that his girlfriend was a renowned figure, a Witch who could even predict the future. She had saved him many times and helped his friends too.
As soon as Chu Yang saw the book in his hand, the embarrassment on her face vanished immediately. She grabbed the book and started flipping through it. This was a book that only a Witch could read, the one she held was about the history of Witches.
Chu Yang looked up at Chi Yan with a serious expression, "Any more?"
Then Chi Yan took her to the study, where Chu Yang saw many books about Witchcraft on the bookshelf. Two of them had slightly different text, but she could still understand them. One was called 'Forbidden Witchcraft'. Chu Yang flipped through it and saw the second time-reversal Witchcraft that could cause memory loss. So had she used this Witchcraft back then?
"But how were we sent to the hospital?" Chu Yang asked. About how they ended up in the hospital, Jin Yang and the others didn't seem to know either. They only knew that she was sent to the hospital after the spring outing, but not the process. The club members who went together didn't know either, because they didn't come down the mountain together at that time. She and Chi Yan were together, but no one knew what happened afterward.
Chi Yan scratched his head, "At first, my uncle said I had fallen while playing basketball, but later everyone said we were sent to the hospital after the spring outing. Then a series of events happened, and I forgot to ask my uncle about the real situation. He was the one who sent us to the hospital. Let me call my uncle."
When Chi Xin received the call, he immediately said, "You and your little girlfriend come over here."
During this period, he had been busy with Zhu Ying's case. When Chi Yan was admitted to the hospital, Chi Xin didn't dare let the elders in the family know either, as it wasn't a big deal. Zhu Ying had died, but there were still many follow-up matters, such as finding Zhu Ruxin, who had become a vegetative state. Her body looked drained, shriveled like an old woman, with a head full of white hair and self-harm scars on her hands. It was unknown what Zhu Ying had done to her.
The Zhu family had been overthrown. When Zhu Ruying saw her sister, he broke down in tears.
Apart from Zhu Ruxin, they also found that Zhu Ying had been involved in organ trafficking. Chi Xin had been in contact with the police about this. Subsequently, his men discovered several more lives at the places where Zhu Ying had hidden after escaping, as well as some evil books, which were all taken to be destroyed by Mingwu Daoist. Although Zhu Ying was dead, some of his associates were still alive.
Chi Yan told Chu Yang about this, and after some thought, Chu Yang decided to go with Chi Yan. Having lost her memory wasn't a pleasant experience. Chu Yang even found that she couldn't use her Witchcraft anymore. She had a crystal ball and a scepter, but she didn't remember how she obtained these two items, as they didn't seem to be inherited from her family. Moreover, she had transmigrated into this book world, so how could she have brought these items with her?
The original Chu Yang wasn't a Witch.
Soon, the two arrived at the lobby of Chi Xin's company building, and the receptionist led them to Chi Xin's office.
"Have a seat. Asheng, bring some drinks and snacks for the young ones."
"Yes."
Chi Yan protested, "...Uncle, we're not little kids."
Chi Xin waved his hand dismissively, "In my eyes, you're still little kids."
After the drinks and snacks were placed in front of them, Asheng left, leaving only Chi Yan and the other two in the office. Chi Xin then spoke, "You want to ask what happened back then, don't you?"
Chi Yan nodded and pursed his lips, "You lied to me before, saying I fell while playing basketball?"
Chi Xin smiled, "Well, you had just woken up then, it wouldn't have made sense to you."
He recalled the events and continued, "Actually, I didn't know what happened either. When I arrived with my men, you two were already unconscious on the ground, and Zhu Ying was dead nearby. No one knew what had happened, except you two, or rather, except you." Chi Xin looked at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang instantly thought of the time-reversal Witchcraft from the 'Forbidden Witchcraft' book, but she wasn't sure either. "What about that Zhu Ying, what happened to him?"
Chi Xin then realized that Chu Yang had also lost her memory. Not only had she forgotten his nephew Chi Yan, but she had forgotten everyone. Since that was the case, he would re-explain everything to her.
"Zhu Ying was the uncle of the Zhu family, which you should know, little Yan. The matter should start from last year when... After that, Zhu Ying disappeared. Then, last month, you two went on the spring outing. I don't know what happened during your outing either. It was little Yan who called me, and when I arrived with my men, I saw you like that. After you two woke up, you had both lost your memories."
Listening to Chi Xin mention her and Chi Yan, Chu Yang clearly understood that he was referring to herself. "Was there anything unusual happening around us at that time?"
Chi Xin nodded, "Yes, not far from where you were unconscious, there was a fire. But the fire department had arrived, so nothing major happened. I heard there was also a small tremor and strong winds, so I thought it was an earthquake at first, but it turned out not to be. Oh, and our men also discovered that the graves in the area seemed to have been dug up."
Chu Yang couldn't figure out what had happened either, and Chi Yan was even more clueless.
Chi Xin noticed that the two didn't have the same intimacy as before. If it were the past, his love-struck nephew would have already pulled her into an embrace to comfort her. But now, he didn't dare make a move.
Sigh!
