Chapter 96: Embarking on a Journey (5)
【Longjing Palace】.
at night.
Yinyin had not woken up since she fell into a coma during the day. Zhou Cheng sat beside the bed, caressing the sleeping person...
Zhou Cheng never felt tired or , because he knew that the chance of such a thing would be almost negligible in the future. No, perhaps he would not feel bored even if he could be like this for the rest of his life. He was just like Zhou Yan. He didn't know why he fell so deeply in love, and he didn't know how many times he regretted abandoning Yin Yin. But it was too late to regret now, so late that he didn't even know when it started. Now, it can be said that this situation was caused by him and buried by him, so how could he not regret it?
"Would you feel more at ease in a dream?"
Unconsciously, Zhou Cheng gently revealed his inner thoughts. If he woke up, Yin Yin would definitely continue to be entangled in various worries, so Zhou Cheng hoped that at least in her dream, Yin Yin could be at peace, even if there was no him in the dream; looking at Yin Yin's somewhat pale face, apart from the paleness on her face, her sleeping posture was basically peaceful. Seeing Yin Yin like this, Zhou Cheng could feel relieved a little.
Zhou Cheng had long lost interest in anything other than Yin Yin, and was only focused on watching the sleeping person, so he didn't know how much time had passed. When someone came in, he didn't notice it. Maybe even if he noticed it, he wouldn't be moved...
"Royal brother——"
A gentle call sounded in Zhou Cheng's ears. Even so, Zhou Cheng still looked at Yin Yin unmoved and did not stop caressing her. The owner of the voice had already come to his side.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"...What about you? It's so late, why don't you sleep? Besides, you are the emperor, aren't you afraid that you won't have enough energy to attend court tomorrow?"
Zhou Cheng finally stopped caressing, gently put Yin Yin's hand into the quilt and covered it, then slowly and reluctantly turned to face Zhou Xinxin who suddenly visited him at night.
"What's up?"
Without answering Zhou Xinxin's question, Zhou Cheng asked directly the reason. He couldn't guess the reason for Zhou Xinxin's late night visit. He was not surprised by Zhou Xinxin's arrival, and of course he didn't guess it. However, whether she came or not, Zhou Cheng would not be surprised.
"Sister Yinyin seems to be in good spirits."
Zhou Xinxin fixed her gaze on Yin Yin, looked at her carefully and said, "It seems like your answer is irrelevant?"
"Well, this will only help to restore it a little."
Zhou Cheng also turned his attention to Yin Yin again and tucked the quilt in. How could Zhou Xinxin not know Zhou Cheng's affection and care for Yin Yin? But seeing this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. After all, this was something she had never enjoyed, whether from her brother or her lover.
"Sister Yinyin, what's the matter with you?"
I have known about Yinyin's coming to the palace for a long time. I don't know why, ever since the incident in Weicheng, no, I am afraid it was even before that. Every time I see Yinyin, Zhou Xinxin always feels a little uncomfortable. It seems that she doesn't want to be too close to Yinyin? She unconsciously feels a little distant from her. Zhou Xinxin doesn't know why she has this reaction. By the time she found out, it was already like this. That's why she came to find her now, or after hesitating for a long time.
"Nothing, she just wanted to go out for a walk, so she came to say goodbye to me."
"What? She's leaving?"
Zhou Xinxin was obviously surprised to hear that Yinyin was leaving. She was a little bit unconvinced, but she soon calmed down. It was supposed to be like this, wasn't it? After Zhang Ren's death, Yinyin should have left. Although she didn't know why she stayed, Zhou Xinxin could still sense that it must be related to Zhou Cheng. Now she suddenly said she wanted to leave. It was really strange. Zhou Xinxin couldn't think of a reason. Besides, Zhou Yan had just returned. Would he agree?
"Where are we going? Will Second Brother agree?"
After Yin Yin came during the day, Zhou Yan also showed up soon after, so he must have known about it. Zhou Xinxin couldn't imagine that either Zhou Cheng or Zhou Yan would agree.
“…He will agree.”
"Why?"
Zhou Cheng's answer made Zhou Xinxin unbelievable, and she blurted out the answer instantly, but Zhou Cheng did not answer. Zhou Xinxin realized that Zhou Cheng's eyes were different when he looked at Yin Yin, more sad and melancholy than before? His expression was so sad.
"Where on earth is she going?"
Unable to bear seeing Zhou Cheng's grief-stricken expression, Zhou Xinxin had to change the subject.
"Go find the memory that belongs to her."
"What??"
Zhou Xinxin was shocked again. The answer Zhou Cheng gave was too sudden. The continuous shocks made Zhou Xinxin lose the ability to think.
"It's nothing. We have to find it back eventually. I just didn't expect her to be so persistent. Not only her, I also want to know what the precious memory she lost was like. Why is it so unforgettable to her? Even if she has lost the memory, she can't forget it. I can be sure that I don't know."
Zhou Cheng said slowly, Zhou Xinxin was stunned. It's not that she didn't notice, but she just didn't say it. She didn't know when Yinyin had already become someone she knew. Since Yinyin lost her memory for the first time more than five years ago, Yinyin forgot everything when she lost her memory for the first time, and also forgot Zhou Cheng, whom she loved deeply. But why did she suddenly fall in love with someone else? Zhou Xinxin never knew who that person was, but her intuition told her that Yinyin loved another person, much more than Zhou Cheng. The only explanation was that when did she fall in love with someone else in the more than two years after Yinyin disappeared? What kind of love made Yinyin unable to forget after being hit hard again? In the face of Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yan's deep affection, even if she forgot everything, that person still missed her, what kind of position did Yinyin occupy in her heart to be so unforgettable?
