“you’ve known each other since you were young?” lu yinxi thought about it and really couldn’t remember fang zicheng. she asked fang zicheng, ” when you said i was young, how old was i? ”
“when you were four years old.”
lu yinxi’s expression changed again. she seemed a little sad. “i was too young back then. i don’t remember it anymore.” she didn’t tell him the truth. she had been traumatized when she was young and had forgotten many things. she had also suffered from autism.
over the years, lu yinxi’s autism had not fully recovered.
apart from her closest family members and wan yuting, lu yinxi would only appear more cheerful and lively when she was with fang zicheng.
fang zicheng naturally knew that lu yinxi was hiding something from him.
just like how fang zicheng didn’t want lu yinxi to know that she had emotional deficiency, lu yinxi didn’t want fang zicheng to know that she had autism. speaking of which, they were not really healthy people.
however, fang zicheng had decided to confess everything to lu yinxi.
“let’s find a place and have a chat.”
lu yinxi wanted to refuse.
she had a feeling that what fang zicheng was going to tell her next was something she didn’t want to face.
fang zicheng brought lu yinxi to a coffee shop. the heater was turned on in the coffee shop. the two of them entered the house and found a quiet place to sit down. fang zicheng ordered two cups of coffee.
after the coffee was served, lu yinxi sipped on it without asking what fang zicheng wanted to talk about.
“you saved me.”
hearing this, lu yinxi suddenly raised her head and looked at fang zicheng. her eyes were a little surprised. ” i saved you? ” she could not remember. ” i don’t remember saving you. ”
” yes. you’ve forgotten about us after your parents ‘accident. ”
lu yinxi completely believed fang zicheng’s words.
there were very few people who knew that she had lost some of her memories after her parents ‘accident. since fang zicheng knew about this, it meant that they had really known each other before.
lu yinxi’s hand unconsciously tightened around the coffee cup.
fang zicheng said, ” when i was five years old, i was kidnapped by bad people. they hurt me and threw me into the garbage dump. you and uncle lu found me and saved me. ”
” uncle lu, is that my dad? ” lu yinxi asked in a low voice.
“yes.”
” how did my parents die? ” lu yinxi suddenly asked. lu yinxi didn’t know much about her parents ‘death. after her parents had passed away, lu yinxi had been living in a daze every day. she had heard from her grandmother that there was a period of time when she had refused to contact everyone. once someone got close, she would scream as if she had seen a ghost.
she had also forgotten the memories of her parents ‘death.
lu yinxi would ask her grandmother how her parents had passed away. her grandmother would always fall into silence for a long time before sighing. ” my life was bad. i died a horrible death. ”
however, grandma didn’t tell him exactly how terrible it was.
knowing that fang zicheng might know how her parents had passed away, lu yinxi’s entire body tensed up. she couldn’t wait to know the truth.
fang zicheng started to hesitate.
fang zicheng didn’t know if he should tell lu yinxi the truth about boss lu’s death. lu yinxi must have seen her parents ‘deaths with her own eyes back then. that was why she had almost gone crazy.
fang zicheng was worried that lu yinxi would go crazy again if he brought up the past.
lu yinxi understood fang zicheng’s concerns. ” i’ve grown up a long time ago, ” she said. ” i’m no longer the weak little boy i was when i was young. fang zicheng, i have the right to know the truth about my parents ‘death.”
“you’re right.” fang zicheng took a sip of the hot coffee, and the worry in his heart faded a little. he then said, ” i’m not sure about the details. i only remember that it was winter. my memory is much better than the average person’s, and i still remember many things from my childhood.”
“that morning, after i woke up, i saw my parents sitting at the dining table. they were especially silent. the atmosphere at home was a little heavy, so i asked them what happened. my dad said that our uncle lu passed away.”
“i heard that when your parents passed away, they were in a terrible state. they had been killed by someone, and the wound was on their necks. it was a fatal blow. the police determined that the murderer was a strong-willed person with great strength. uncle lu was 1.8 meters tall and had a medium build. the person who could kill him with one strike was naturally not weak. the murderer had come prepared and did not leave a single clue in the house. your parents “tragic deaths have become a murder case that has yet to be solved.”
lu yinxi was stunned.
grandma had only said that mom and dad had died a terrible death. lu yinxi had thought that they might have died in a car accident or for some other reason. she just never thought that they had been killed by someone.
lu yinxi’s body went cold.
it was all thanks to the cup of coffee in her hand that she could still feel a trace of warmth. lu yinxi calmed the pain in her heart and asked fang zicheng, ” then, where am i? ”
fang zicheng’s deep eyes landed on lu yinxi’s face. ” you were there, ” he said.
lu yinxi was stunned again.
“w-what …”
“you were at the scene and watched the process of your parents ‘death. you were agitated because of it and became deranged, screaming when you saw people. “because of this, you got autism. for a long time, you didn’t dare to come into contact with anyone. you would go crazy when you saw red things …”
“you know about it?” lu yinxi had kept her autism a secret. she didn’t expect fang zicheng to know about it.
“yes.”
fang zicheng held lu yinxi’s hand and said, ” elk, my parents are the people who gave me life. you and boss lu are the ones who gave me a chance to be reborn. you, to me, are a different existence. i don’t know if i love you or not, but i like the feeling of being with you. because of my illness, i may not be able to experience your sorrow and sadness in the future, but i will definitely be by your side.”
lu yinxi’s lips moved for a long time before she nodded.
on the way home, fang zicheng and lu yinxi didn’t talk again.
after learning the truth about her parents ‘death, lu yinxi’s heart was in a mess.
he sent lu yinxi to the entrance of the neighborhood. lu yinxi didn’t even say goodbye to fang zicheng before she walked into the neighborhood in a daze. fang zicheng stared at her back as she left, feeling a little regretful.
should he not have told lu yinxi the truth?
…
lu yinxi opened the door to her aunt’s house. like a robot, she stiffly changed her shoes.
she walked to the sofa in the living room and lay down, not moving.
in the middle of the night, lu ziai returned home, covered in cold air.
lu ziai was surprised to see the girl lying on the sofa. she thought that lu yinxi was sick, so she walked over and touched her forehead. someone was touching her, and lu yinxi immediately opened her eyes.
