After She Fell for Me, I Lost My Memory (GL) - Chapter 28
Yinyin touched the spot where Cen Luo had hit her and pouted sadly. “Big sister, just admit it.”
“If you like good-looking people, how about I introduce you to my older sister?”
Cen Luo rejected the idea without even thinking about it. Although she liked pretty older sisters, she couldn’t date several older sisters at the same time.
What kind of person would that make her?
“But, is your older sister gentle?”
Cen Luo promised that she was just curious about what kind of personality this little girl’s older sister had.
Yinyin subconsciously shook her head, then nodded again. “Very gentle.”
Cen Luo was half-believing Yinyin’s words.
With Yinyin’s help, Cen Luo got from the wheelchair back to her hospital bed.
As soon as she lay down, she heard Qin Ran’s slightly angry voice from the doorway: “Cen Luo, how could you just run off by yourself without saying anything?”
As soon as Cen Luo heard the voice, she grabbed the bedsheet and covered her head.
“I’m sleeping, I’m sleeping. Cen Luo is sleeping.”
Qin Ran: “…”
Be patient. She’s only sixteen.
Sixteen-year-old Cen Luo was the most mischievous.
Before she met Jian Mu, Cen Luo listened to Qin Ran the most.
After a while, Cen Luo didn’t hear anything and slowly took the bedsheet off her head. As soon as she revealed her eyes, she saw a row of people staring at her.
Her parents, Qin Ran, Xu Fengwan, and Zhao Zhao.
They were all standing at the doorway, staring at her.
“It’s not that serious, is it? I was just bored and went out for a bit,” Cen Luo muttered, then pulled the bedsheet all the way down.
Zhao Zhao walked over to her and placed the almost-cold pigeon soup on the nightstand.
She had just bought the soup when she received a call from Qin Ran, saying that Cen Luo was nowhere to be found.
She was so scared that she carried the soup around looking for her.
If she hadn’t thought of Cen Luo’s pitiful expression when she wanted to drink the soup, Zhao Zhao would have thrown it in the trash a long time ago.
“Big sister, if you run away again, I might really have to apologize with my death,” Zhao Zhao said lightly.
Her words were a little exaggerated, but under Zhao Zhao’s stare, Cen Luo couldn’t say a single word.
In the end, she could only stammer, “I… I was just bored. I wanted to go out and get some fresh air. I came back by myself after I was done.”
Who knew that Yinyin, who had just been hit on the back of the head by Cen Luo, would mercilessly expose her lie:
“She didn’t come back by herself. A pretty doctor older sister brought her back!”
Cen Luo was so angry that she wanted to cover Yinyin’s mouth, but she didn’t have the ability to do so, so she just glared at Yinyin.
As expected, she heard Qin Ran’s questioning words the next second:
“You just woke up, and you’re already flirting with pretty older sisters?”
Other people might not know Cen Luo, but how could Qin Ran and Xu Fengwan not know her?
Sixteen-year-old Cen Luo loved meeting good-looking girls the most.
It wasn’t that she necessarily liked them, she just wanted to know them.
In Cen Luo’s words, talking more to beautiful people can prolong your life.
“Can you talk a little quieter?”
Cen Luo saw her parents looking at her in surprise, as if to say: How could my daughter be like this?
Qin Ran had just told her that she had already reconciled with her parents in high school and that their family life had been harmonious all these years.
Cen Luo felt Zhao Zhao, who was standing next to her, staring at her, which made her a little nervous. Then she heard Zhao Zhao say:
“Who did big sister flirt with?”
After hearing Zhao Zhao call her “big sister” so many times, Cen Luo gladly accepted it.
Having another pretty younger sister wasn’t a bad thing.
“Just, a doctor older sister,” Although she didn’t understand why Zhao Zhao was staring at her like that, Cen Luo said honestly, “A very, very pretty doctor older sister.”
“Oh—”
Zhao Zhao let out a long “oh.”
The people next to them saw that Cen Luo was okay and didn’t have the heart to blame her for running around.
Everyone had their own jobs, so they took turns taking care of Cen Luo.
After a few words of advice, only Zhao Zhao and Qin Ran were left. Everyone else left.
Zhao Zhao hadn’t said anything since that “oh.” She sat on the chair next to Cen Luo’s bed, resting her head on her hand, and staring at Cen Luo without blinking.
Cen Luo felt a little creeped out by her stare and tried to change the subject.
Cen Luo asked, “Zhao Zhao, what do you do for work? Why do you seem so free?”
Everyone basically took turns taking care of her. Cen Luo heard Qin Ran talk about who was taking care of her during which hours, and only Zhao Zhao’s name was mentioned the most.
“An actress.”
“Oh, a female celebrity! No wonder you’re so good-looking, hehe.” Cen Luo’s eyes darted around, and her words were a little flattering.
“I’m so good-looking, but I don’t see big sister flirting with me.”
After saying that, Zhao Zhao sighed and picked up the box containing the pigeon soup that was on the nightstand.
Cen Luo glanced at where Qin Ran was standing. At some point, Qin Ran had already left.
Cen Luo thought that Zhao Zhao was going to be kind and give her a few sips of the soup.
She said in a coaxing tone, “Next time, is next time okay?”
Cen Luo’s eyes were only on the soup. She no longer cared about what Zhao Zhao was saying.
Flirt next time. She really had the nerve to say that.
Zhao Zhao slowly opened the soup box and stirred it with a spoon.
Then she poured half a bowl of soup into an empty bowl and put the lid back on the rest.
Maybe it was because she had been hungry for a long time, but the smell of the pigeon soup was the most delicious thing in the world to Cen Luo.
But, how did the soup and the meat end up in Zhao Zhao’s mouth?
She had already said nice things, so how could Zhao Zhao do this?
“Hey! Zhao Zhao!”
“Hmm? What’s wrong, big sister?” Zhao Zhao took a sip of the soup and asked unhurriedly.
Cen Luo instantly deflated. “Leave some for me.”
She even used a spoiled tone.
Zhao Zhao couldn’t help but laugh. “But big sister, you can’t drink it now. You have to be on an empty stomach for tomorrow’s checkup.”
“And didn’t you say that you just wanted to smell it?”
Cen Luo: “…”
The smell was indeed strong enough. It was so strong that she was almost drooling. Ahhh, is this Zhao Zhao a little devil!
Cen Luo stared at Zhao Zhao, wanting to see if she could still drink the soup calmly under her intense stare.
However, the truth was that Zhao Zhao drank half a bowl of the soup with a clear conscience. After she finished, she elegantly wiped her mouth with a tissue and said to Cen Luo, “Big sister, will that pretty doctor also bring you soup?”
Cen Luo didn’t want to talk to Zhao Zhao anymore and turned her head to the side.
“Big sister, do you want to watch TV?” Zhao Zhao looked for the remote control in the nightstand next to the bed.
Cen Luo glanced at the other half-bowl of sealed pigeon soup on the nightstand.
She had a flash of inspiration.
“There’s an empty box under the TV. Go look for it,” Cen Luo suddenly said, giving her a command.
Zhao Zhao glanced at the TV cabinet, then was about to walk toward the TV.
She heard a very small sound from behind her. Zhao Zhao turned her head, and the corners of her lips curved up slightly.
“What are you trying to do, big sister?”
Cen Luo, who was caught red-handed, put down the hand that was trying to secretly grab the soup box.
Cen Luo pursed her lips and said nothing.
After that, Cen Luo didn’t make a move until Zhao Zhao turned on the TV.
Zhao Zhao randomly picked a channel.
Hmm, children’s cartoons.
“Why are you putting on cartoons for me? I want to watch a romance movie!”
Cen Luo was confused about why Zhao Zhao was putting on cartoons for her.
“Don’t you want to watch cartoons when you’re unhappy? Are you not unhappy?”
Cen Luo was stunned for a while. She didn’t expect Zhao Zhao to know even this.
“I’m not unhappy.”
Zhao Zhao replied and was about to change the channel when she heard Cen Luo’s words again: “But I would be very happy if I could have a sip of soup!”
Zhao Zhao was about to refuse her when she heard Cen Luo’s slightly spoiled voice.
“My dear Zhaozhao, can I?” Cen Luo blinked at Zhao Zhao frantically.
Zhao Zhao suddenly swallowed the words she was about to say. She couldn’t help but let out a small laugh:
“Big sister, why are you acting so spoiled?”
This was the first time Zhao Zhao had heard Cen Luo call her “Zhaozhao.” In the past, she had always called her by her full name.
Although it was a very wrong thought, she really liked the current Cen Luo who had amnesia.
As the two of them were chatting about a sip of soup, they didn’t notice the person standing at the door, staring at them intently.
Jian Mu stood at the door, looking at Cen Luo and Zhao Zhao in the room. When she heard Cen Luo call Zhao Zhao “my dear Zhaozhao” and heard Zhao Zhao ask why she was acting spoiled, Jian Mu’s right hand tightly clenched into a fist.
Jian Mu’s fingers were clean, and she didn’t have long nails, but at this moment, because of her force, there were rows of deep and shallow marks on her palm without her noticing.
This was enough to show the turmoil in her heart right now.
Jian Mu heard Zhao Zhao in the room say to Cen Luo in a coaxing tone, “Then big sister, if you don’t swallow it, can you just taste it?”
Cen Luo nodded obediently, but when the spoonful of soup with meat in it was brought to her mouth, Cen Luo swallowed it in one gulp.
She even said in a wronged voice, “Oops, I swallowed it by accident.”
The current Cen Luo was so lively, cute, and full of life.
Jian Mu recalled that the Cen Luo she met a long time ago was indeed like this.
But, after she got together with her, she became much more reserved.
Thinking of this, Jian Mu’s hand that was about to knock on the door paused.
Cen Luo and Zhao Zhao were very close. Because of Cen Luo’s accidental swallowing, Zhao Zhao said with an even more wronged expression than her, “I’m going to get scolded by Qin Ran tomorrow.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you,” Cen Luo reached out and patted Zhao Zhao’s shoulder, telling her not to worry.
Because of Zhao Zhao’s lowered, wronged expression, Cen Luo noticed Zhao Zhao’s distinct, long, and curled eyelashes.
She stared at Zhao Zhao, wanting to count how many eyelashes Zhao Zhao had.
Because of Cen Luo’s stare, Zhao Zhao didn’t say anything.
Although she didn’t know what Cen Luo was looking at, Zhao Zhao still didn’t move and let her look.
But she didn’t expect that under this stare, some beautiful thoughts would appear in Zhao Zhao’s mind.
She couldn’t control her blush.
From Jian Mu’s angle, she saw the two of them looking at each other affectionately, as if they were about to get even closer the next second.
Jian Mu pursed her lips. She tightly held the flower basket in her left hand and reached out with her right hand to knock on the door.
Zhao Zhao had a guilty conscience and was startled by the knock.
Cen Luo had just counted to thirty when she was interrupted by the knock and was a little unhappy.
Jian Mu thought that Cen Luo was unhappy because she had interrupted them. Her heart sank.
Did she really not remember anything?
Cen Luo had amnesia, so that message couldn’t have been sent by Cen Luo, and she had never agreed to break up.
“Why are you here?” Cen Luo thought she had already made it clear.
Jian Mu saw that Cen Luo’s expression suddenly changed after she came in.
The way she looked at Zhao Zhao and the way she looked at her were two extremes. When she was with Zhao Zhao, she was full of laughter. As soon as she saw her, there was undisguised unfamiliarity and disgust in her eyes.
This was a kind of treatment Jian Mu had never experienced before.
Jian Mu was so choked up by Cen Luo’s change that she couldn’t say anything.
Cen Luo didn’t hear Jian Mu’s answer. She saw her place the flower basket on the nightstand and then stand next to her.
“I have something I want to talk to you about,” Jian Mu said to Cen Luo after a while.
The implication was that she wanted Zhao Zhao to leave for a bit.
Zhao Zhao understood what Jian Mu meant. She deliberately said to Cen Luo, “Big sister, I can’t leave you.”
Zhao Zhao had just given her a sip of soup. She was a good person. What bad intentions could a good person have? She just wanted to take care of her.
“Just say it. Zhaozhao isn’t an outsider.”
They were all friends. Was there something she couldn’t hear? Cen Luo was confused.
Even though she heard that what Zhao Zhao said was a little strange, Cen Luo treated Jian Mu as a stranger, so she wouldn’t think too much. She wouldn’t worry about her misunderstanding or getting upset.
However, Jian Mu was stunned by Cen Luo’s words and muttered to herself, “Not an outsider?”
Then she adjusted her emotions and asked Cen Luo, “Did you send me a message today?”
Send a message? What message? Didn’t they delete each other’s contact information after they broke up?
“How could I have sent you a message?”
She had only been awake for a few hours. How could she waste her time sending her a message?
Jian Mu, however, let out a sigh of relief when she heard that.
She reminded Cen Luo:
“Cen Luo, we haven’t broken up yet.”
Cen Luo frowned and refuted her. “What do you mean we haven’t broken up?”
Did she look like she wanted to be in a relationship with Jian Mu right now?
“You never said you wanted to break up with me, and I never agreed to it,” Jian Mu said.
Zhao Zhao was watching the show from the side. She could tell that the current Cen Luo had no feelings for Jian Mu at all.
Cen Luo: “…”
“Oh, if you want to make it official, then I’ll satisfy you. Let’s break up.”
In an instant, Jian Mu’s face turned pale because of her words. How could she say that so easily?
Cen Luo’s face was expressionless. To her, these words seemed very normal.
“I don’t agree. You just have amnesia. Maybe when you get your memory back…” Jian Mu felt for the first time that her words were all over the place.
“I won’t.” Cen Luo said lightly. Qin Ran had already told her that she wasn’t happy for most of her time in this relationship. She had the same opinion as Qin Ran: if she forgot, then she forgot.
If she had seen Jian Mu when she first woke up, she might have been a little soft-hearted, but now, there was no need.
“It’s not a divorce. Why does it require both parties to agree? When you’re in a relationship and you break up, one party’s agreement is enough, you know?” Cen Luo’s voice was a little cold.
This was also the first time Zhao Zhao had seen this side of Cen Luo. She had seen the previous Cen Luo who loved Jian Mu unconditionally, so seeing the current Cen Luo, she felt a little sad.
But she also felt that this was a good thing.
Cen Luo should be free and unconstrained.
“I don’t agree.” Jian Mu was still repeating the same thing. She didn’t believe that Cen Luo would be so cold to her.
“From my side, we’ve already broken up. Whatever I do after this is my freedom. If you still insist on this, then I can only assume that—”
“You’re waiting for me to cheat on you.”
“Of course, from my perspective, I won’t accept any moral condemnation, because we’ve already broken up.”
