After a tragic death and rebirth, the scumbag tore Bai Yueguang apart for me
Chapter 234 Star Encounter
Just when I thought I could get William to stop interfering in family affairs.
Grandma took William away and scolded me.
So William is safe.
"Someone from Continental will be here today. You will be responsible for receiving them."
I turned my face away, not wanting to look at my grandmother, but she said, "If you don't want to see him, I'll let William pick him up."
I let out a long sigh: "I know."
I turned around and changed into a black dress, even my coat was black. In fact, I didn't want to see Huo Yan at this time, because seeing him would easily shake my mentality.
Now I just want to resolve William’s issue, and explore the family secrets and the truth behind my mother’s death. As long as I complete these tasks, I can focus on taking care of my pregnancy.
"Yu Xinghe, long time no see." A deep and magnetic voice sounded in my ears.
I was slightly startled, and when I looked up, I met a pair of familiar yet unfamiliar eyes. It was Huo Yan. I frowned, and said with a hint of coldness in my tone, "Huo Yan, don't you remember me? Why are you here?"
He scratched his head slightly, a confused look on his face, "I... I don't know why, but some vague images keep flashing through my mind, and they seem to be related to you. Also, I always feel that I should come and see you. If you need any help, just tell me."
I looked at his innocent face, feeling mixed emotions. This man who had been with me through thick and thin, now stood in front of me like a stranger and said something so ridiculous.
I snorted. “Help? How can you help me? You don’t even remember yourself.”
Huo Yan's eyes dimmed for a moment, but then he said firmly, "Although I don't remember the past, I am capable now. As long as you ask, I will do my best."
I stood up, walked to his side, and deliberately bumped him with my shoulder, "Okay, then, come with me."
He was a little surprised, but he followed me obediently. We walked through the family corridor and came to a place where miscellaneous items were piled up. I pointed to a pile of heavy boxes and said, "Then help me move these boxes to the warehouse."
Without saying anything, Huo Yan rolled up his sleeves and started moving boxes. I stood aside and watched him quietly. Although his movements were a little unfamiliar, his seriousness was still the same as before.
As I watched, my thoughts gradually drifted away. We once faced the family crisis together, and he always stood in front of me. At that time, he was full of vigor and vitality, with a sharp light in his eyes. But now, he is like an ignorant child.
Huo Yan seemed to notice my gaze. He raised his head, sweat running down his cheeks. "Yu Xinghe, why are you staring at me?"
I came back to my senses and turned my head away awkwardly, "Who is staring at you? I was just checking to see if you were slacking off."
He smiled, that smile was clean and pure, "Don't worry, I won't be lazy."
While moving the boxes, his hand accidentally touched mine, and a jolt of electricity instantly spread through my body. He seemed to feel it, too, and pulled his hand back in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
I glared at him and said, "Be careful, these boxes are important family items."
He nodded and continued to work. When all the boxes were moved to the warehouse, he wiped his sweat, looked at me and said, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
I thought about it and said, "Come with me to the garden. There are some flowers and plants that need to be taken care of."
We came to the garden and I handed him a pair of scissors. "Prune these messy branches and leaves."
He took the scissors and started trimming carefully. I stood beside him, occasionally giving him some pointers. The sun shone on us, as if time had stopped at this moment.
His arm would occasionally touch mine, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air between us. I was a little upset, not knowing how to face this man who had lost his memory but kept getting closer to me.
"Yu Xinghe, these flowers and plants are so beautiful. I seem to be a little familiar with them." Huo Yan suddenly said.
I was moved. Is his memory slowly coming back? I looked at him and asked tentatively, "Can you remember anything else?"
He frowned and tried to recall, "I just felt very comfortable when I saw these flowers and plants, as if I had dealt with them often before."
I sighed. It seems that it will take time for his memory to recover. However, this may be a good start.
Huo Yan continued to trim the branches, and his concentration fascinated me. I couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, but when I was about to touch it, I retracted my hand.
He seemed to notice my actions and turned to look at me, "Yu Xinghe, what did you want to do just now?"
I smiled awkwardly, "Nothing, I just wanted to see if there was any dust on your face."
He smiled and didn't ask any more questions. We stayed in the garden for a long time until the sun set and the whole garden was dyed golden.
Huo Yan put down the scissors, looked at the beautiful sunset, and said, "I am very happy today to do these things with you."
I looked at him, feeling inexplicably touched. "If you think of it in the future, I wonder if you will say the same thing again."
He looked at me with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "Whether I remember it or not, I feel comfortable with you."
I didn't say anything, just quietly watching the sunset. I don't know when his memory will be restored, nor do I know where our relationship will go, but at this moment, I just want to enjoy this rare tranquility and ambiguity.
When I turned around, I almost fell, but Huo Yan quickly caught me. His arms were firmly around my waist, holding me close to his chest. I could clearly hear his steady and strong heartbeat, which seemed to be beating against my heart.
I raised my head and met his eyes. There was a gleam of concern in his eyes. The moment our eyes met, the air around us seemed to freeze, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread between us. His breath gently blew on my face, with a faint masculine scent, which made my heart beat faster involuntarily.
"Be careful, why are you so careless?" His voice was low and gentle, as if he was scolding a beloved child. I was a little flustered and wanted to break free from his arms, but he didn't let go of my hand, but held it tighter.
"I... I'm fine. I just wasn't paying attention just now." I explained stutteringly, my cheeks flushing unconsciously.
Huo Yan frowned slightly and looked at me carefully. "Are you really okay? Is there any sprain?" His hands gently groped my arms and legs to check if I was injured. His touch made my body tremble slightly, and a tingling feeling was transmitted from his fingertips to the bottom of my heart.
I quickly pushed his hand away and said, "It's really okay. No need to check." I turned around and wanted to leave, but Huo Yan grabbed my hand again.
"Yu Xinghe, I don't know why, but I just don't want to see you get hurt." His words made my heart suddenly tighten. I know that he has lost his memory now, but his instinctive concern still makes me moved.
I looked at him with mixed emotions in my eyes, "Huo Yan, you are like this now, I am a little overwhelmed." He lowered his head slightly and kissed the back of my hand gently. The gentle touch melted my heart instantly. "No matter what, I will always be by your side to protect you." His words echoed for a long time in this evening garden like a vow.
