If the Deep Sea Forgets You

Xia Qingyi had instincts better than most people sometimes. When people asked her about it, she often could not say the reason why, but always felt that things should be this way and not that way in her heart. And the things that happened would always prove that her instincts were right.

Just like how Xia Qingyi had a premonition that something would happen that day, that the man she met on the streets had something more to him than he looked.

After that, she heard someone calling out her name when her lessons ended. She went out to take a look, and it was the man from that day.

He no longer looked as tired as he did that day, his hair was trimmed and even his stubble was gone. He was wearing spectacles with a golden frame, which made his eyes look intense.

But what could not be denied was that with such looks, he was a very handsome man.

“If you’ve come here to find me because of what happened that day, then there’s no point, there’s nothing more to say between us,” Xia Qingyi opened her mouth and said.

“I know Xia Qingyi is only a false identity,” That man said in a resounding voice, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

Xia Qingyi only froze for a moment. “So? What else do you want to say?”

“I know you lost your memory, Nian Nian, so that’s why you don’t remember me. You don’t remember everything from the past.” That man looked at Xia Qingyi, his expression gentle as he said softly, “I’ve finally found you, Nian Nian.”

Xia Qingyi felt repulsed. “Don’t keep calling me Nian Nian! Didn’t I tell you? My name is Xia Qingyi, I’m completely not related to the Nian Nian that you keep calling for. There’s so many people in this world who look similar to one another, why are you so sure that I am the Nian Nian that you know?”

That man only looked at her, as though he was looking carefully at every single detail on her face, and then took out a small red booklet from his pocket and handed it to her.

It was a marriage certificate.

Xia Qingyi did not see wrongly.

The man flipped to the cover page, and there was a man and a woman smiling sweetly and leaning their heads against each other beneath a red backdrop. The man in the photo was the same man standing right in front of her, and the woman looked exactly the same as Xia Qingyi.

Xia Qingyi kept staring at the woman smiling sweetly in the photograph, as though she was looking into a mirror. She was completely stunned, her brain was blank and she could not think at all.

“You’re my wife Song Yue Nian, I’m your husband Han Liang, we’ve been married for a year. How can I not recognize you?” The man said.

Xia Qingyi only looked at the marriage certificate, staring at the woman smiling brightly.

Han Liang saw the suspicion in her eyes and continued, “Nian Nian, there’s a tattoo on your back. That’s my back view. I objected to it and said that it’s too painful at that time, but you stubbornly said that you can keep me by your side forever in this way.”

Xia Qingyi’s brain remained blank, and she kept silent and did not speak.

“Nian Nian, stop trying to remember about the past if you can’t, let’s go home.” Han Liang’s voice was trembling a little as though he was suppressing his emotions. “Nian Nian, it’s fine as long as you’re back.”

Han Liang moved one step forward to hug her, but Xia Qingyi avoided him. Taking in a few deep breaths, she moved back a few steps and did not dare to look at Han Liang as she said in a low voice, “Can you let me calm down for a while?”

“I will wait for you, wait for the moment you remember me.”

Xia Qingyi wanted to escape from the current situation, she wanted to do something to dismiss the feeling of loss in her heart, yet she did not know how. After that, the bell in the corridor suddenly rang, finally letting Xia Qingyi find an excuse. “You… you go back first, I need to go for class.”

Han Liang looked at her as he said, “You waited for me for so long during this period when you lost your memory, now it’s time for me to wait for you. I will wait here until you end class.”

Xia Qingyi only said, “Whatever suits you.”
