After She Fell for Me, I Lost My Memory (GL) - Chapter 25

However, based on what Jian Mu knew about Cen Luo, Cen Luo was not that kind of person.

Cen Luo said she wanted to calm down for a few days. At that time, Jian Mu was also on a business trip, and for four days, they didn’t contact each other.

After she returned from her business trip, Jian Mu tried to find Cen Luo many times, but her phone was always off, and she didn’t reply to any of her messages.

She thought that Cen Luo still wanted to calm down and that her phone was off so that she wouldn’t be disturbed.

The moment she saw the message, Jian Mu’s first feeling was panic. She had never heard the word “breakup” from Cen Luo before.

It’s impossible. She couldn’t believe it.

She wanted to talk to Cen Luo in person, but her WeChat and phone number were both blocked.

She was about to dial Cen Luo’s number on her office phone, but she paused for a moment, unable to remember if Cen Luo had her office number.

“Let me borrow your phone,” Jian Mu suddenly said to Yang Qing, who was in front of her.

Yang Qing didn’t know what was going on. All she knew was that Jian Mu’s face was very pale now.

She unlocked her phone and handed it to Jian Mu.

Jian Mu entered Cen Luo’s phone number on the dial pad.

Jian Mu pursed her lips tightly when she heard the beeping sound of a call connecting.

She didn’t believe that Cen Luo would say such a thing, and she also didn’t believe that she would fall for someone else in such a short amount of time.

After a few seconds, the call was answered.

But the voice on the other end was not Cen Luo’s.

With just one sentence, Jian Mu could tell that it was Cen Luo’s friend, Qin Ran.

Jian Mu was silent for a while, then she asked, “Is Cen Luo there?”

Qin Ran, on the other end, paused. She looked at the phone screen. It was an unfamiliar number, but the voice was indeed Jian Mu’s.

She had just finished dealing with the phone and was about to turn it off when she received this call.

Qin Ran thought that it was Cen Luo’s colleague or friend who was calling to check on her, so she answered the phone, but she didn’t expect it to be Jian Mu.

Qin Ran took a breath and finally said to the other end of the phone, “Get lost.”

Xu Fengwan, who was sitting next to her, didn’t know what had happened. She only knew that Qin Ran’s face was very pale when she received this call.

However, she could easily guess. The only person who could make Qin Ran say “get lost” when she received a call on Cen Luo’s phone must be Jian Mu.

“Jian Mu?” Xu Fengwan asked.

Qin Ran narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn’t answer Xu Fengwan’s question. Instead, she muttered to herself, “Maybe I should use a different number.”

Jian Mu, who was just yelled at by Qin Ran, was even more confused. She didn’t understand why it was Qin Ran who answered the phone and not Cen Luo.

It was almost time to get off work. If Cen Luo wasn’t at Nanyang Jade Tower, she should be at West Street.

After handing her phone back to Yang Qing, Jian Mu got up from her desk and walked out the door.

She was going to West Street.

She wanted to hear those words from Cen Luo in person.

Jian Mu had always known that words could be very hurtful, but she didn’t know that just the word “breakup” could make her so sad.

The feeling was as if someone had grabbed her heart tightly, making it hard for her to breathe.

Jian Mu had never thought that breaking up would be so painful.

She thought that breaking up was just two people going back to their own lives. Cen Luo would be able to live more freely, and she wouldn’t be affected by certain emotions.

But no one told her that it would be so sad.

Jian Mu regretted it the moment she almost heard the word “breakup” from Cen Luo.

She shouldn’t have tried to force Cen Luo to break up.

Maybe her initial thoughts were a little self-righteous.

Jian Mu’s mind was in a mess. All sorts of things were popping up in her head, making it impossible for her to calm down.

When she came to her senses, the traffic light was already red. When she realized and quickly hit the brakes, her car had already crashed into the small car in front that was waiting for the green light.

Jian Mu closed her eyes and heard the sound of someone knocking on her car window.

This feeling made her feel both strange and helpless.

It was almost 7 PM when Jian Mu arrived at West Street. At night, the small streets were filled with warm yellow streetlights.

There was a repair shop downstairs from the apartment building. There were a few people inside. Besides the employees, there were also a few people lining up.

On the other side, an uncle was sitting at the entrance, his eyes fixed on her.

Jian Mu looked away and looked at the other side. There were a few people, men and women, sitting around a stone table under the big tree downstairs from the apartment building. They were cracking sunflower seeds and chatting.

Their voices were a little loud. Even though Jian Mu was a little far away from them, she could hear their conversation.

They were complaining about someone’s family matters.

Around the streetlights next to the big tree, a few white moths were fluttering around the lights.

Jian Mu didn’t know which floor Cen Luo lived on or if she was off work yet.

After a moment of hesitation, Jian Mu walked toward the repair shop.

The uncle sitting at the entrance of the repair shop looked to be in his fifties, with a pair of reading glasses on his nose.

He had been staring at Jian Mu since she arrived.

It was as if he knew her.

Jian Mu hesitated for a moment, then she asked, “Excuse me, do you know which floor Cen Luo lives on?”

Uncle Liu adjusted the glasses on his nose. He smiled when he heard her words. “I was right. You’re Cen Luo’s girlfriend, aren’t you?”

When Jian Mu heard Uncle Liu say “girlfriend,” her heart suddenly clenched.

She didn’t reply for a while.

Jian Mu didn’t know why Uncle Liu would say that. Did Cen Luo mention her to him?

“Do you know which floor she lives on?”

Uncle Liu shook his head. “I don’t know which floor she lives on, but she hasn’t been back for the past few days.”

She hasn’t been back?

Then where did she go?

“You’re her girlfriend. You don’t know where she went?”

Seeing Jian Mu’s expression, Uncle Liu suddenly asked in confusion.

Jian Mu pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer Uncle Liu’s question.

Cen Luo was a person who loved to share. She would tell her what she did and where she went every day.

It had been like that for all these years.

Without hearing Jian Mu’s answer, Uncle Liu understood. He said with a certain tone:

“Young lady, you don’t seem to like your girlfriend as much as she likes you.”

Jian Mu was stunned. She didn’t understand why Uncle Liu would say that all of a sudden.

After Uncle Liu finished speaking, he rummaged through the storage cabinet and took out a camera and a thick photo album.

“Xiao Luo said she would come back in two days to get the camera and the photo album, but she didn’t come. She usually doesn’t break her promise. No matter how busy she is, she would always come. And I can’t reach her on her phone either.”

“Did something happen to her?”

After hearing Uncle Liu’s words, Jian Mu suddenly realized that she had never thought about this.

But she sent her a message.

But Qin Ran answered her phone.

Jian Mu was suddenly in a state of confusion, and her heart was even more panicked.

Uncle Liu saw Jian Mu’s reaction and knew that he wouldn’t get any information about Cen Luo from her.

He couldn’t help but sigh. “You two really don’t look like a couple.”

Jian Mu just pursed her lips and said nothing.

She couldn’t refute Uncle Liu’s words for a moment.

“Young lady, don’t take other people’s kindness for granted. When you get to my age, you’ll know that once you miss some people, you’ve really missed them. You’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”

Uncle Liu sighed and muttered, “People who don’t cherish things will be punished.”

The last sentence was very low, as if he was saying it to Jian Mu and also to himself.

No one had ever said anything like this to Jian Mu before, or maybe someone had, but she had forgotten.

She remembered a time when Cen Luo would always hold her and gently pat her back, telling her, “It’s okay. You can love me. I won’t leave you.”

Jian Mu slightly closed her eyes. Uncle Liu’s words were amplified in her heart.

At the same time, the panic in her heart grew bigger and bigger.

Uncle Liu looked at Jian Mu, then sighed. He pushed the camera and the photo album that he had just taken out toward her and said:

“This is the camera Xiao Luo asked me to fix and the photo album she asked me to organize for her. Since you’re her partner, please help me give them to her.”

Jian Mu’s eyes fell on the camera and the photo album in front of her. With just one glance, Jian Mu recognized that it was the camera Cen Luo often held in her hands.

It must have a special meaning to her.

But Jian Mu didn’t remember if Cen Luo had ever told her about it.

Holding the camera and the photo album, Jian Mu went back to her car. She was silent for a while, then she opened the photo album.

Jian Mu suddenly understood why Uncle Liu knew about her and Cen Luo’s relationship.

Because in this photo album, there were only a few photos of them together. The rest were all her solo photos.

The first page of the album was a handwritten letter that was photographed. It was written by sixteen-year-old Cen Luo to herself.

She said that she would love Jian Mu for a very, very long time, using everything she had to embrace her and love her so that she would never be lonely again.

Jian Mu suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

She really, really wanted to see Cen Luo now.

Just wait for her. Just for a little longer.

Jian Mu closed the photo album. She suddenly remembered Yuncheng and started driving toward Yuncheng.

When Jian Mu suddenly appeared in Yuncheng, everyone in the office was stunned.

There had been a lot of breaking news recently, and the entire entertainment news team was going crazy.

Even though it was already more than two hours after work hours, almost no one in the office had left.

Everyone was now looking at the suddenly appearing Jian Mu in surprise.

Jian Mu’s eyes scanned the office, and she didn’t find Cen Luo.

She saw Jiang Ting, who was closest to her. She remembered that when they had dinner at Yunxiang Club that day, Cen Luo and her seemed to have a good relationship, so she asked her, “Where is Cen Luo?”

Jiang Ting frowned when she heard this. She was confused. “CEO Jian, aren’t you the team leader’s friend? She was in a car accident and is in the hospital. Don’t you know?”

She was in a car accident and is in the hospital…

Don’t you know?

Jian Mu’s mind was buzzing. How was that possible?

The person who would remind her to be safe every time she left home, how could she be in a car accident?

A car accident. That must hurt so much.

But she didn’t know anything about it.

“Which hospital?”

Jian Mu’s voice was a little shaky, and Jiang Ting subconsciously replied:

“Yuncheng Central Hospital.”

“Do you know the room number?”

“1809.”

After asking, Jian Mu left the office.

She left a confused Jiang Ting and the others behind.

“Just now, were CEO Jian’s eyes red?” Jiang Ting muttered to Liu Dan, who was next to her.

“I think so. Didn’t you cry a lot when you heard that the team leader was in a car accident that day?”

Jiang Ting scratched her head when she remembered. “Because I really like the team leader.”

“But, I don’t know, I just don’t think CEO Jian and the team leader are friends.”

“What do you mean?” Liu Dan asked.

“It’s just weird. If they’re friends, she wouldn’t even know that the other person was in a car accident. But if they’re not friends, her eyes wouldn’t have turned red and she wouldn’t have looked so sad when she heard about the car accident.”

…

Ever since Cen Luo woke up, she had been feeling very annoyed. There was a little girl sitting next to her, looking at her with teary eyes.

She would pour her tea and water and was extremely obedient.

But when she asked her to buy some snacks, the little girl wouldn’t agree and kept repeating the doctor’s words, not allowing her to eat.

“Porridge, porridge is fine, right?”

At this moment, only Zhao Zhao and the little girl were in the room.

The little girl shook her head. “No.”

Cen Luo was speechless. She looked at Zhao Zhao on the other side. Her voice was a little coaxing. “Sister Zhao Zhao, can you buy me a bowl of pigeon soup? It’s okay if I just smell it.”

Although everyone around Cen Luo had told her that she was now twenty-six years old and that Zhao Zhao was only twenty-three.

In Cen Luo’s heart, she still couldn’t accept the fact that she was twenty-six years old without even going to high school. She still felt that she was only sixteen.

Zhao Zhao couldn’t resist Cen Luo’s gaze, so she agreed to buy a bowl and put it next to her so she could smell it.

Cen Luo had found that among all the people taking care of her, only Zhao Zhao was the easiest to talk to.

After Zhao Zhao left, Cen Luo’s eyes darted around. She looked at the little girl next to her. “You little brat, take me to the restroom. The one at the end of the hallway.”

Cen Luo couldn’t wait to be free.

When nature calls, the little girl couldn’t refuse Cen Luo’s request. But seeing that she only asked to go to the restroom after Zhao Zhao left, she felt that Cen Luo must be up to something.

But under Cen Luo’s intimidating gaze, the little girl still agreed.
