Chapter 157: Renewed Love, Part 2 (6)
In silence, the three of them entered their own world of thoughts, immersed in their own ideas.
In the end, it was Zhou Cheng, who was good at controlling his emotions, who reacted first and broke the silence.
"I want to know, you have wavered in your feelings towards him, probably after you lost your memory again. So, at that time, were you attracted to me?" Zhou Cheng felt that nothing else mattered. What mattered was that he wanted to clarify his feelings. He did not want to pursue that ignorant love in confusion. He wanted to find out who he really loved, or if he had never loved anyone at all.
Yin Yin only pondered for a moment before giving the answer: "Yes."
Hearing this answer, Zhou Cheng felt excitement spread throughout his body, and suddenly felt that his efforts were not in vain. However, Yin Yin's next words forced him to reconsider.
"But that's not love."
Yin Yin's words without hesitation or dragging their feet instantly brought Zhou Cheng to the bottom of the valley. He stared at Yin Yin in confusion. He didn't know which of Yin Yin's words were true and which were false. It didn't mean much to him. He just wanted to know what position he occupied in Yin Yin's heart.
"From the beginning, I knew very well that what I felt for you was not love, but something similar to family and friendship, as well as a dependence on you. You were so good to me, so good that I was overwhelmed, so good that I felt that I was not alone, because there was someone to rely on beside me."
Zhou Cheng looked at Yin Yin steadily. This was perhaps the clearest and most genuine feeling Yin Yin had ever told him from the beginning to the end. It was not love, but... Zhou Cheng didn't know whether he should feel relieved about this result. At least he had a place in Yin Yin's heart, but relatively speaking, he found that he fell in love with the Yin Yin in front of him. Naturally, only he knew his feelings, but even if he knew it now, nothing could be changed.
"I don't ask you to forgive my selfishness, I just hope you know that I have never thought of fooling your feelings. I always vaguely mentioned it before because I was cowardly and timid, afraid that everyone would leave me, and now, I finally see my own heart clearly. What I am really afraid of is the person who left me but his heart stayed with me. I was not sure before, and I could not be sure of his thoughts. Until now, I no longer have doubts. Doubts will only trample on his efforts and feelings. So no matter what happens, I will no longer doubt or waver. Only he is my only home, from beginning to end; since God has given us this opportunity, I decided not to miss it again. He used to pay, and now it's my turn. Even if he doesn't say it, I have already planned to do so. Even if the next moment is the end of my life, I still want to stay with him. In this life, perhaps I will never pay him back, so I decided to pay him back in the next life. Please don't say I am selfish, because I owe him this, and even if I don't owe him, I want to use this life to renew my relationship with him."
No one would dare to promise what the afterlife would be like, because it was unreal. But when Yinyin said it, it was inexplicably convincing. She said it so seriously, with a firm expression, as if she was sure of the next life. Was she really so sure? No one knew this. Not to mention the afterlife, no one could predict the future.
From Yinyin's words, Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen both understood that the past was the past, even Yinyin's heart. After all, too many things happened to her, too many to be imagined. So now Yinyin, they already understood that there was no room for anyone to intervene in her heart. This was also the result of her straightforwardness. She affirmed her heart and beliefs. As long as she figured out her heart, she would no Isn't this a good thing? At least she would no longer suffer the painful experiences and tortures like before.
The long silence gradually calmed the three people down, and their emotions and thoughts returned to normal.
"Does Yan know about this?" When Zhou Cheng spoke again, his tone had completely returned to its usual calmness.
Yin Yin shook her head. She had indeed not told Zhou Yan, but her intuition told her that Zhou Yan seemed to know something. As for what exactly he knew, she had no idea.
Zhou Cheng sighed. Even though he still had a lot to say, Yin Yin's expression made him remain silent. Besides, what would it matter if he said more now? So, he calmed down and said in a gentle tone: "Leave your mother's affairs to me. Don't worry about anything. Just do your own thing. If you need any help, just ask. I will help you no matter where I am."
"Thank you!" Yin Yin smiled sweetly, and that smile, like the sunshine after the rain, immediately made Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen's eyes bright.
"Then you should have a good rest, at least get enough rest before setting off."
Yin Yin didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng had always considered her like this when she first embarked on this journey. And now, she has told him everything, but he is still the same. She does not deny that she owes him, but she is unable to repay him. For this, she believes that Zhou Cheng does not want her repayment.
Zhou Cheng didn't say anything. He looked at Yin Yin and turned to leave. As for Shan Zhen, he seemed unable to move. He just looked at Yin Yin, and Yin Yin looked at him. They looked at each other, as if they could communicate without words.
Finally, Shan Zhen sighed and turned away.
After watching Zhou Cheng and Shan Zhen leave, Yin Yin lowered her eyes, a hint of happiness slowly emerged in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. If you ignore the faint sadness in her eyes, perhaps Yin Yin's smile is like tasting sweet happiness...
