Chapter 179 Wanting to Regain Memories
"I told her she has a low alcohol tolerance but she didn't believe me. She got drunk from just one sip of fruit wine. It's really..." Guan Xing shook his head helplessly.
Liang Yang also sighed: "The key is that after she gets drunk, she forgets everything the next day when she sobers up, and next time she'll blame us for not letting her drink."
"This should be better. Let her fall asleep first, and I'll check back later to see if she's kicked off the covers."
The group skillfully helped Shen Zhi wash up and then quietly left the room.
After an unknown amount of time, the entire villa fell silent, with only the continuous chirping of cicadas outside the window.
Moonlight streamed through the window and fell on the pure and innocent face of the girl by the bedside. Her thick, curled eyelashes trembled, and Shen Zhi groaned softly in discomfort.
A pale arm slapped against the silk duvet cover. "Thirsty..."
Shen Zhimeng murmured something, her mouth half-open as she waited for water, but it didn't come.
I had no choice but to struggle to my feet, wearing only one slipper, and staggered toward the small bar in the room, relying on my memory.
When she lived in the Li family home, there was a water bar area outside her bedroom on that floor. But in this house, that spot happens to be the balcony outside.
Shen Zhi kept her eyes half-closed until her knees slammed heavily against the railing, causing her to open them in pain.
"Ouch...it hurts so much."
Shen Zhi sobbed, instinctively raising her hand to slap the railing that had hurt her: "You bad thing! Ah..."
As expected, it hurt even more.
Shen Zhi's sleepiness had mostly subsided, but the effects of the alcohol hadn't worn off, and her eyes were already red.
She seemed unusually delicate when drunk, and would lose her pearls at the slightest pain.
"Oh."
Shen Zhi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she thought she heard someone laughing at her.
Shen Zhi suddenly looked up and unexpectedly met those indifferent eyes.
Even from a distance, Shen Zhi's eyesight was excellent, and she could still see the smile in that person's eyes.
This person... looks just like that villain Shen Linchuan.
Shen Zhi became even angrier and pounded on the railing, shouting:
"Hey! What are you laughing at!"
"Who are you! How dare you trespass on my property! I'll call security to arrest you!"
Shen Zhi thought she was still at the Li family's house. Seeing the other party standing arrogantly in the same spot without moving, she angrily put her hands on her hips and was about to go downstairs to call for help.
Shen Linchuan calmly went downstairs.
This is his private residence, and he usually lives here.
Having just finished work late at night, I was surprised to find the lights on in the villa next door that had been empty for a long time.
Just as I was wondering who had moved in, I saw a little girl wobbling out, sulking against a railing.
This somewhat naive and silly little girl was actually the one who could break through his firewall.
Shen Linchuan suddenly developed a different kind of interest.
The two villas were not far apart, and unexpectedly, Shen Zhi actually found his villa's entrance.
Out of curiosity, Shen Linchuan opened the iron gate for her in advance, and Shen Zhi entered his gate without any hindrance.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Shen Zhi was only wearing one slipper, with her other foot revealing five smooth, pink toes, covered in dust and looking particularly unsightly.
"Hey! Why are you breaking into my house! What you're doing is illegal, don't you know that?"
Shen Zhi spoke slowly and deliberately, poking Shen Linchuan's chest with her little finger as she questioned him.
They're incredibly unreasonable.
Shen Linchuan was so angry he laughed. He didn't bother arguing with the little scatterbrain in front of him. He found a new pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet, took some wet wipes, squatted down, and made sure she wasn't injured before helping her dry her feet and put on her shoes.
Shen Zhi was used to being taken care of and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. When her feet were being wiped, she even put her feet on his knees in a very cooperative manner.
"Miss Zhizhi, this is my home."
"Nonsense! This is clearly mine..." Shen Zhi looked up and saw that the decorations in this room were completely different from her home.
It was ice-cold, without any warmth.
Shen Zhi's eyes widened:
"How dare you change the style of my home's decor without my permission!"
Shen Linchuan decided not to argue with this confused girl too much, took her hand, and prepared to take her back:
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
I'll take you home...
These words somehow touched a nerve with Shen Zhi, and tears instantly streamed down her face.
Tiny pearls, no bigger than beans, fell down as if they were free.
"I don't want to go home... After you take me home, are you going to pretend we're not close anymore?"
Shen Zhi's eyes were red and wet, and the tip of her nose was red from crying.
"Big brother, why do you seem to not recognize me? I'm Zhizhi. You can have new little sisters... but you can't forget that I'm Zhizhi..."
"You brought me back to the Shen family, and you also sent me back to the Li family. You said you wouldn't forget me, so why are you going to find other new sisters?"
Fueled by alcohol, Shen Zhi unleashed all the pent-up grievances she had held in her heart for years. She gripped Shen Linchuan's robe tightly with her small hands, ravaging it beyond recognition.
She buried her head, her smooth forehead pressing hot against the man's abs.
They were so close that even her warm breath could be clearly felt on his skin.
Shen Linchuan was startled and instinctively tried to pull Shen Zhi's hand away.
But the moment his large hand covered her small hand, the tear that fell onto the back of his hand was scalding hot, so hot that he stopped all his movements.
The little girl cried.
In an instant, his heart tightened as well.
Shen Linchuan could have easily pulled Shen Zhi's hand away with a gentle tug, but he held on and didn't move.
He stood there, stunned, listening to Shen Zhi's accusations against him.
Those accusations were utterly baffling to Shen Linchuan, yet he felt he should listen.
Deep down, he felt she was right to scold him.
It's all his fault.
He's the one who made the little girl cry.
Shen Linchuan's throat tightened, and it took him a long time to slowly explain:
"I'm sorry... I... I had amnesia. Am I important to you?"
Shen Zhi looked at him with teary eyes, unsure whether she hadn't understood or hadn't heard him clearly.
Her amber-green eyes were now filled with sadness, making one want to kiss away all the sorrow in them.
"Zhizhi!"
Before Shen Zhi could continue her accusations, hurried footsteps came from behind, and Guan Xing and Liang Yang rushed over.
She snatched the little girl back from Shen Linchuan's arms.
Seeing Shen Zhi's tears, both of them felt heartache for the girl in their arms.
"Zhizhi, don't cry, don't cry, we're here for you."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shen Zhi tilted her head and buried it in Liang Yang's chest.
"Yangyang...he changed the look of my house, and he pretended not to know me. He even has a new little sister...he's such a bad guy! Waaaaah, I'm so pitiful..."
The little girl was drunk and talking incoherently, so Liang Yang could only patiently coax her. He simply bent down and picked her up in his arms.
"Zhizhi, your home hasn't changed. Everyone knows you well. I'll take you home, okay?"
Shen Zhi tilted her head, perhaps because she was exhausted from crying, or perhaps because she had found someone she could rely on, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Liang Yang didn't look at Shen Linchuan again, and quickly carried Shen Zhi back to the villa next door.
Guan Xing remained where he was, blocking Shen Linchuan's view.
The two are of similar height and have equally commanding presence.
Guan Xing's former carefree and unrestrained nature has vanished, leaving only a chilling coldness, colder than the night itself.
"Mr. Shen, I apologize for my rudeness tonight. But since you have already chosen someone else to be your new sister, it would be best if you didn't get too close to Zhizhi in the future."
"I don't care whether you did it unintentionally or had a change of heart, it won't be a good thing for Zhizhi. Your getting close will only make Zhizhi sad."
After saying that, Guan Xing turned and left, quickly catching up with the two people in front of him.
Shen Linchuan's eyes were fixed on that petite body, and he didn't even realize when his fist clenched.
Since he discovered he had amnesia, he would experience excruciating headaches whenever he tried to recall a particular memory, so he stopped trying.
But seeing Shen Zhi being carried away in another man's arms, Shen Linchuan had for the first time the thought of regaining his memories...
