Chapter 1053: 1050
Behind her, there was no sound from Chu Heng. She knew he was not fond of talking and did not mind it. Closing her eyes, she planned to go to sleep.
Suddenly, a hand reached over from behind her and straightened her up.
Ye Muyu furrowed her brows subconsciously and looked at the man beside her.
Chu Heng’s voice was serious, “The injury last time, after all, was because of me.”
“Thank you,” she said.
Ye Muyu replied with an “oh,” “I know now.”
Her attitude was still cold, completely different from before. Chu Heng only knew he was getting increasingly irritable. It seemed she shouldn’t have this attitude. In fact, recently, he often had flashes of images crossing his mind at night, but they were all unclear, very fuzzy.
Although every time he remembered something, his head would throb painfully, he didn’t care. Recovering his memory was what he was supposed to do, no matter how much it hurt; he just had to endure it.
Now, looking at the woman in front of him, his eyebrows knitted tightly, he struggled to restrain the urge to reach out and embrace her.
He didn’t want to force her, no matter the reason for his intense emotions now, he should still respect women.
However, the words that reached his lips somehow turned into an accusation, “Don’t you want to help me recover my memory anymore?”
“Don’t we still have two children? Although Mother and Father have gone back, they will come over again after the New Year. By interacting more with old acquaintances, you too might be able to remember,” she said.
Chu Heng’s voice turned hoarse, “I thought we were closer.”
“So, have you remembered anything now?” Ye Muyu countered.
Chu Heng remained silent. Just looking at her, her meaning couldn’t be clearer. He had already tried making contact with her, but he still couldn’t remember. Even if they had been very close before, she had already made an effort. Was he supposed to keep dragging her along?
“I’m sorry.”
After a long while, Chu Heng quietly let go of her and uttered this ambiguous apology.
Ye Muyu did not respond. She knew she was just being petty. Having grown up alone since childhood, her heart was actually lonely, and she least liked troubling others.
She never held great hopes for relationships: what she gained was fortune; what she lost was fate.
Such experiences had always made her hesitant to actively give her affection.
Especially since she couldn’t quite grasp what Chu Heng was thinking.
During her time in the county government, her courage was based on constantly reminding herself that helping Chu Heng recover his memory was the only way to honor the sincere feelings he had for her before his amnesia.
Now, seeing him interact with Lin Mianmian, she couldn’t muster the courage to take the initiative anymore.
“It doesn’t matter,” Ye Muyu heard herself say in a very light voice, so light that she seemed not to hear it herself.
Chu Heng remained silent.
Ye Muyu also closed her eyes, only able to feel that the man beside her was still there. In the end, she said nothing at all.
The night passed quickly.
Ye Muyu did not know when she had fallen asleep.
When she woke up, Chu Heng was already gone from her side.
She reached out and touched the bed board; it was cool, which showed he had left long ago.
She sat up and called for Su Mei to bring in water for washing.
“Lady, the master has gone to the front courtyard to practice sword with the Young Master, and even the young miss has gone there. The servant had the kitchen prepare breakfast; you’ve gotten up just in time,” Su Mei’s voice was cheerful, much better than yesterday’s mood.
She was very happy that the master had stayed by the lady’s side last night.
Even the maidservants from Aunty Lin’s side who came over said that Aunty Lin’s facial injuries were very severe. Lu Chuan didn’t let anyone in, maybe this proves that the master cares most about the lady’s mood?
