Chapter 96: Embarking on a Journey (3)
"What are you doing?"
A cold and familiar angry voice broke the silence between Yinyin and Zhou Cheng. Surprisingly, neither Yinyin nor Zhou Cheng was moved by this. Zhou Cheng gently let go of Yinyin and looked at the person who came in. Yinyin turned her back to the person who came in and gently wiped away her tears.
“You’re here.”
Zhou Cheng spoke in a calm tone as always, not at all shaken or surprised by the person who had just come in front of him; the person who had just come in obviously had not yet come to his senses, and the scene that appeared in front of him when he came in was difficult for him to accept for a moment, so he could only stare blankly.
Yin Yin had obviously just wiped away her tears. She slowly turned around and spoke calmly and softly: "Yan!"
This call made Zhou Yan wake up instantly. He walked forward quickly. He originally wanted to pull Yin Yin directly to his side, but when he saw Yin Yin's expression with a few traces of tears as if she had just cried, he did not do so.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Yan turned his gaze towards Zhou Cheng, his tone was like questioning, and his eyes were full of hostility. He had rushed here as soon as he knew Yin Yin had entered the palace, and after seeing this situation, he had to doubt; however, Zhou Cheng did not answer, he turned his gaze to Yin Yin, even though it was just her back, looking at Zhou Cheng's eyes, Zhou Yan could not help but be startled, and with uneasiness, he turned his gaze back to Yin Yin...
"Nothing, I just came to see him about something."
He looked at Yin Yin and then at Zhou Cheng, and then put all his attention on Yin Yin. His intuition told Zhou Yan that Yin Yin knew something she shouldn't know.
"I was just about to go look for you, but I didn't expect you to come too."
"Looking for me?"
"Well, I... need to go."
These few simple words were like a bolt from the blue to Zhou Yan. He looked at Yin Yin in surprise and astonishment. He could not find any hesitation on Yin Yin's face, as if she had made up her mind. Then he looked at Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng said nothing, just watched quietly. Suddenly Zhou Yan understood something, and his expression changed from surprise and astonishment to a deep look at Yin Yin.
"Where are you going?"
"have no idea."
"Don't know? Tell me the reason, the reason why you want to leave."
"I'm going to find the memory that belongs to me."
Without any concealment or hesitation, Yin Yin's answer made Zhou Yan's strength seem to be drained away bit by bit.
"Even though you've lost your memory, you still can't forget that person in your heart?"
Zhou Yan's voice sounded lifeless. He was trying hard to hold back an outburst and conceal his sadness. At this moment, Zhou Yan was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. He was just a wounded mortal.
Although Zhou Yan's words were not so obvious, Yin Yin knew what he was talking about, and Zhou Cheng also knew it.
"I don't know if I have really forgotten him, but I don't deny that I care about him now."
Yinyin's words affected not only Zhou Yan, but also Zhou Cheng. However, Zhou Cheng seemed much calmer as he already knew the reason for Yinyin's arrival. Even though he heard words that could drive him crazy, he just silently restrained himself in his heart. Compared with Zhou Yan, without any mental preparation, Yinyin's words undoubtedly caused him unimaginable shock and trauma. His reaction was the same as Zhou Cheng's before, his body trembling slightly, and he was trying hard to hold back the explosion in his heart...
"sorry--"
Another "I'm sorry" was undoubtedly the trigger for Zhou Yan at this moment. However, Yin Yin had no choice. Apart from apologizing, she didn't know what to face Zhou Yan, nor did she know how to express her apology to Zhou Yan. She had no other choice.
“ Don’t say you’re sorry.”
Zhou Yan's voice was trembling slightly. Yin Yin didn't dare to look Zhou Yan in the eye. Perhaps it was because she was afraid, afraid to face this person whom she had never thought of hurting. But her words just now were enough to hurt Zhou Yan's heart, so she didn't dare to look directly at him, and was afraid to face what kind of eyes Zhou Yan was looking at her at this moment.
"You don't need to say sorry. You don't feel sorry for anyone. What's the point of saying sorry? Can you give up the search if you're sorry?"
Zhou Yan's words began to become incoherent. If his voice had not been trembling and choking, Zhou Cheng would have stopped him. However, looking at Zhou Yan's sad expression, Zhou Cheng chose to remain silent.
"Tell me, what should I do? What should I do so that you will forget him? What should I do so that you will stay with me?"
Is he crying or laughing? Zhou Yan's voice could no longer tell what he was feeling at the moment. In addition to grief, Zhou Cheng knew very well how sad Zhou Yan was at the moment, and so was he. But compared to Zhou Yan's grief at the moment, Zhou Cheng's grief had long passed, so he could only see Zhou Yan's grief now; Zhou Cheng could not give sympathy and pity to Zhou Yan's grief, because he was not qualified. How could two people who were equally hurt be qualified to comfort each other? It would only make them look even more embarrassed. Only silence and watching could allow them to have a little dignity for each other, and the source of this dignity was all maintained by their love for Yin Yin. Once they lost it, they would have nothing, including their only dignity now...
"I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry—"
With her head lowered, the tears she had just wiped away continued to flow. Yin Yin didn't know what else to say except to apologize. She was afraid that she didn't even have the right to cry. Facing the two people she had hurt, she felt that her sins were beyond what she could bear. But she still had to bear it, because she had unfinished things to do, and had not yet found the memories that belonged to her. Be it betrayal or cruelty, for her ultimate goal, she had no choice but to bear all the consequences.
