Chapter 1516 - 1005
Before dawn.

"Big Brother, how did you find the diary?" Chuxia asked curiously.
"I have to thank my sister for that. After she continued writing in it, she made a wish and buried my diary in the yard. A few days ago I was planning to dig a cellar to brew wine, and I just happened to dig it up.
My sister must’ve remembered this, so she asked me in a roundabout way if I’d dug up anything. I muddled my way through it. To be honest, it wasn’t that I didn’t believe her, or that I didn’t want to tell her, it’s just that back then I really couldn’t accept this reality.
I never felt like there was anything missing from my memory. I’ve always thought I was a perfectly normal person. Now, faced with this result, I just can’t accept it deep down.
And because of that, I want to check things out bit by bit. Best case, I can recall the part that’s missing. Just like you said, if it was true love, how could I possibly have forgotten that period so cleanly?
But I also believe that if there’s some other hidden story, my sister doesn’t know either, because what she wrote in the diary very clearly states that I was saved by that girl.
Chuxia, right now I feel pretty despicable. Someone clearly saved my life, yet here I am doubting her. But..." Jing Zhe’s voice was full of pain. "But in my subconscious, I just don’t believe it."
"Big Brother, maybe you could talk to Zhou Mikang?" Chuxia suggested hesitantly. "After all, you two aren’t that far apart in age, and you used to cross paths quite a bit. Maybe he knows something about your past."
"Forget it. He’s been too busy lately; I don’t want to bother him. If it weren’t for not wanting you to worry along with me, I wouldn’t have told you this either. At the very least, now you know I’m not deliberately refusing to marry Meili.
And also..." After hesitating for quite a while, Jing Zhe finally said, "I don’t want you to misunderstand and think I’m not marrying Meili because of you. Xia, you’re my little sister now."
"I know..." Saying this out loud herself made Chuxia a bit embarrassed too, but for the sake of how everyone would get along in the future, she still forced herself to say it. "Even if you didn’t say it, I already know.
Besides, Sister Meili hasn’t thought about it that way either. She also said that in your heart I’m just a very close little sister now. The feelings you have for me are purely those between a brother and sister. I understand that, and I definitely won’t get the wrong idea. You can relax."
Clearing his throat lightly, Jing Zhe said, "Xia, does me saying this make me a bit full of myself?"
"Heh heh... I think so too." Chuxia deliberately teased him.
"Alright, since you say that, I’m relieved. Here’s the deal: once I’ve figured out the truth, I’ll tell you right away. So during this time, try not to brood over it, alright?"
"Okay, I’ll wait for your news. Oh, right, Brother, when you’re trying hard to remember, you don’t get headaches or anything, do you?" Chuxia agreed, then hurriedly added another question.
"No." There was a hint of a smile in Jing Zhe’s voice. "Thanks for worrying about me, Xia. I’m fine, don’t worry."
Hearing Jing Zhe say that, Chuxia really did relax.
"What on earth is going on?" As soon as she saw her daughter hang up, Zhao Yulan, who had been sitting anxiously off to the side, asked. Truth be told, with Zeng Meili staying over and her and Jing Zhe’s engagement being postponed indefinitely, her heart had been all over the place, afraid this really had something to do with her own girl.
Even though her own girl doesn’t have that kind of intention, if the other side really were putting off the engagement because of such thoughts, and the woman happens to be a relative of Chuxia’s Husband’s Family, it would leave everyone feeling uncomfortable.
"Mom, nobody else knows about this. I’m only telling you, so you absolutely can’t tell anyone else." Knowing what her mom was worried about, Chuxia hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell her the truth.
After all, she knew her mom’s temperament. As long as Chuxia said something couldn’t be talked about outside, her mom would definitely keep her mouth shut. Not even her dad or her grandparents would be able to pry a word out of her.
"Alright, I won’t say anything." Zhao Yulan raised her hand like she was taking an oath as she spoke. Chuxia couldn’t help laughing as she pulled her hand down. "Mom, you don’t have to do that. If I didn’t trust you, I wouldn’t be telling you..."
"Xiao Zhe actually lost his memory before?" Zhao Yulan looked at her daughter in disbelief. "But from the way he looks, he’s perfectly normal, and his medical skills are that good. How could he have amnesia?"
"That’s exactly why he doesn’t really believe the diary. If things were really like it says in there, there’s no way he’d have absolutely no impression of what happened back then.
