Chapter 345

But those kinds of people can die however they want.

That guy is a wicked and harmful person. He'd be happy as long as he's dead; he wouldn't feel at ease if he wasn't.

Even now, Du Chenzhou still feels inexplicably uncomfortable when he thinks of Ruan Mingying's greedy and shameless face.

While receiving treatment from Shu Ying, Du Chenzhou's mind wandered aimlessly through these events.

Having regained his past memories, Du Chenzhou's demeanor underwent a noticeable change.

But it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's changed... but it just looks different, like a completely different person.

Howard and Lusca frowned with some concern, glancing at the silver needle with lingering fear, and couldn't help but step forward to inquire.

"Zhou, how are you feeling now? Is there a problem with the treatment? If you feel uncomfortable, we'll stop it immediately!"

Du Chenzhou glanced at them with a complicated expression.

His emotions were mixed at that moment, and he didn't really want to talk, so he just shook his head.

Howard and Lusca exchanged a glance.

"What happened to you? You look very different."

"Did you remember something, or... were you too heartbroken and devastated because you learned the truth and lost the person you loved?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Shu Ying, seemingly unintentionally.

Du Chenzhou didn't answer, so the two of them assumed that was the case.

Lusca clutched her chest in sorrow, as if she could empathize with his pain.

"Oh, my poor friend, don't be too sad. We didn't expect this either; it's really unexpected..."

"I know you must have liked this girl for a long time, and you've always regarded her as your pillar of support, right?"

"But life is bound to have its disappointments, so take it easy, my friend."

Howard and Lusca patted Du Chenzhou on the shoulder with great emotion, sighing as they spoke, their minds filled with a sense of the torment and pain Du Chenzhou was going through.

As friends who had come all the way from the border together, Howard and Lusca genuinely felt sorry for him.

Shu Ying left the needle in place, taking the time to carefully observe Du Chenzhou's current state.

When their eyes met, Du Chenzhou quickly turned his head away, his eyes darting around, yet he couldn't help but want to look again.

Seeing his reaction, Shu Ying already knew what was going on.

Shu Ying straightened up, glanced at Howard and Lusca, and calmly told them—

"You don't need to guess anymore. Du Chenzhou's decision wasn't due to my refusal, nor for any other reason."

"The reason his whole demeanor changed is simply because he remembered his lost memories."

"We know about the pocket watch, and he should know what happened by now."

Howard and Lusca looked at Du Chenzhou with suspicion.

Shu Ying also glanced at him.

"Du Chenzhou, tell us yourself, is this pocket watch yours or not? Do you still want to argue with us about this?"

Du Chenzhou lowered his head heavily and shook his head helplessly.

As expected, Shu Ying gave Howard and Lusca a look.

Howard and his companion were somewhat bewildered.

Shu Ying directly gestured for Xie Zhiyan to put the pocket watch away.

Xie Zhiyan hesitated for a moment while holding the pocket watch, then pulled open his clothes and stuffed the pocket watch into the inner pocket near his chest.

This is his most precious possession; he's already lost it once, and he absolutely cannot lose it a second time.

Shu Ying turned her head and saw him like that, and couldn't help but smile.

Xie Zhiyan is always decisive and straightforward in his dealings with others, and he doesn't fuss over details. It seems that the only people he treats with such care and attention are her and things related to her.

Shu Ying felt a warmth in her heart. She exchanged glances with Xie Zhiyan several times until it was almost time, at which point she took out the silver needles.

As soon as Shu Ying turned her back, Xie Zhiyan's originally gentle and smiling eyes changed.

The moment he met Du Chenzhou's gaze, his eyes became exceptionally sharp, like a knife.

The way Du Chenzhou looked at Shu Ying after regaining his memory gave Xie Zhiyan a bad feeling.

He knew that the two families had a long-standing feud, and he also understood that it was impossible for Shu Ying to like Du Chenzhou.

Shuying didn't like him, but that didn't stop him from having feelings for her.

Jiang Yunzhou was already enough to annoy him, and now Du Chenzhou has come along who's mistaking his pocket watch for his own...

It's really hard not to care.

Du Chenzhou knew that Xie Zhiyan had been staring at him. The military pressure emanating from Xie Zhiyan, honed over many years, made him feel very uncomfortable. Coupled with his own guilty conscience, he couldn't help but want to escape.

But with only a few people left in the room and nowhere to escape, Du Chenzhou could only turn his head to divert attention and pat Howard and Lusca on the arm.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I have indeed remembered a lot of things."

"Shu Ying and I...we were never lovers before."

Du Chenzhou looked at Shu Ying with a somewhat lost expression.

"She...married Comrade Xie a long time ago."

Although Du Chenzhou said that, Howard and his companion looked at his expression and felt that there was clearly a story behind it.

It's true that Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan got married a long time ago, but it's also probably true that Du Chenzhou actually likes Shu Ying.

Howard and Lusca clicked their tongues in disbelief, and couldn't help but sigh for Du Chenzhou, feeling a pang of sadness in their hearts.

Such a restrained and tortuous emotion could be written into a moving love story in their world!

Shu Ying quickly removed all the silver needles, cleaned them, and put them away properly.

After a brief exchange with Shu Ying, Chen Feng and Zheng Yifan walked towards Du Chenzhou.
