Chapter 272 If I told you about my past life, would you believe me?
"Zhizhi, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my grandfather to take advantage of me while I was unconscious to make things difficult for you. Don't take what he said to heart, I never thought you were my nemesis." Cheng Shuyan said, letting out a few suppressed coughs.
Yunzhi was startled and quickly patted him on the back to calm him down. "Shuyan, I know, I didn't take it to heart."
Yunzhi was speaking when she suddenly remembered something.
Cheng Shuyan just told Grandpa Cheng that he was conscious when he was unconscious.
Did he hear me talking to him about my past life while he was unconscious?
Thinking of this, Yunzhi's heart tightened suddenly.
[Host, rest assured, this system has already checked. At that time, Cheng Shuyan was unconscious and could not hear what you were saying.]
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the system's words of comfort, but then she heard Cheng Shuyan's half-joking voice in her ear, "Zhizhi, let me tell you something funny. When I was unconscious, I kept hearing someone talking about my past life, like dying in a car accident. It made me think that I died in that car accident and was waiting in hell to drink Meng Po soup and be reincarnated."
Yunzhi, “…” Shouldn’t the system’s bugs be fixed? How is she supposed to respond to this?
The system seemed to have no idea that Cheng Shuyan would come and slap it in the face so soon after it had confidently given its host a guarantee. It made two sizzling sounds and then fell completely silent.
"It was me who said it, Shuyan. I said I was telling you about our past lives. Do you believe me?" Yunzhi tilted her head slightly, her eyes curving into crescent shapes. Her tone was light, as if she were joking. But only she knew that her heart was about to jump out of her throat because of nervousness.
Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan looked at each other, trying their best to remain calm.
A moment later, Cheng Shuyan burst out laughing. Yunzhi was taken aback. "What are you laughing at?"
Could it be that what she said was funny?
It seems that Cheng Shuyan does not believe what she said.
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat disappointed.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Cheng Shuyan raised his hand with difficulty and stroked her cheek twice. "I'm so happy. It turns out we've known each other for two lifetimes. Are we destined to be together?"
The joy in Cheng Shuyan's eyes was genuine.
Yunzhi froze, her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't say a word. She couldn't tell Cheng Shuyan that their relationship in their previous life ended badly, and that their destined love didn't seem to fit.
Just as she was wondering how to explain, Yunzhi's phone suddenly rang. She stood up in a panic, "Shuyan, I'm going to answer this call."
After Yunzhi finished speaking, she turned around to answer the phone.
As Cheng Shuyan watched Yunzhi's departing figure, the smile on his face faded. He clutched his chest with one hand, and even through his clothes, he could feel his heart pounding faster. For some reason, at that moment, Cheng Shuyan actually felt that what Yunzhi said was true.
Yunzhi walked out of the ward and breathed a long sigh of relief.
[Host, you're taking too much risk. Cheng Shuyan might very well recall his memories from his previous life.]
The system then appeared.
Yunzhi's lips twitched slightly. 'If he remembers, what impact will it have on us?'
The system considered the matter and conducted a rational analysis.
[If Cheng Shuyan's memories had awakened when the host had just been reborn into this world, it would have caused the world's consciousness to reject your soul. However, now that your soul has merged with your body in this world, even if Cheng Shuyan's memories were to awaken now, it wouldn't have any impact on you.]
Hearing that it wouldn't affect them, Yunzhi finally felt relieved. Leaning against the wall, she said, "Since it won't have any impact, it doesn't seem to matter whether he remembers or not. Besides, didn't you assure us that your memory erasure technique would definitely work and that he wouldn't remember?"
[This system stated that its memory erasure techniques would not malfunction. However, it didn't state that he definitely wouldn't remember; that's not a bug in this system.]
The system won't recognize it.
"Alright, alright, things will work themselves out." Yunzhi said casually, but the moment she picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, her face darkened instantly. It was an unfamiliar number, but Yunzhi knew Ye Chengyan's number by heart. She hesitated for a moment, then hung up the phone.
But the next second, Ye Chengyan called again.
Yunzhi gritted her teeth and finally answered the phone. After the call connected, Ye Chengyan didn't speak. He didn't speak, and neither did Yunzhi. The two remained silent for a while before Ye Chengyan tentatively spoke, "Yunzhi?"
He was worried that the person who answered the phone wasn't Yunzhi.
A hint of impatience flashed in Yunzhi's eyes. She already knew from Yunyun that Ye Chengyan and Yu Baisu were also at the scene of her car accident. However, Ye Chengyan and Yu Baisu did not provide any assistance to her, nor did they even call 120 or 119 for her. They just watched helplessly as the flames slowly spread towards them.
Yunzhi had long known Ye Chengyan's selfish and self-serving nature, so she wasn't surprised by his unwillingness to take risks. However, she wondered if it was a bit much that he hadn't even made a phone call. Was this the so-called love that Ye Chengyan spoke of? It seemed rather cheap.
"It's me, Mr. Ye. Is there something you need?" Yunzhi's voice was distant and devoid of any emotion.
The courage that Ye Chengyan had finally mustered deflated completely at this moment, like a punctured balloon.
For the past few nights, Ye Chengyan has been terrified by the images of Yunzhi's car accident. He has been staring at the dawn for several nights in a row, which has left him feeling listless. During the day, he almost signed the wrong contract due to lack of sleep, nearly causing a major disaster.
Ye Chengyan regretted listening to Yu Baisu that night. In order to protect himself, he was cowardly and did not step forward to help. In the past few days, Ye Chengyan had been inquiring about Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan. After confirming that Yunzhi had woken up but Cheng Shuyan had not yet woken up, Ye Chengyan made this call.
In his heart, he wished that Cheng Shuyan would never wake up in this lifetime.
"I'm sorry, Zhizhi..." Ye Chengyan said in a hoarse voice, preparing to explain first, but before he could finish speaking, Yunzhi interrupted him, "Mr. Ye, we're not that close. Zhizhi is a name only my family members would use. I don't consider myself family with you. Please call me by my full name, Yunzhi, or Miss Yun."
Yunzhi felt disgusted when she heard Ye Chengyan address her so affectionately.
Ye Chengyan's grip on his phone tightened suddenly, his face turning grim.
