Chapter 981 - 979: Memory Array
Perhaps only he knows and can understand the feelings of this moment.
If the heavens really reclaim those memories, Chen Tianlong feels everything becomes meaningless. Because without them, his life loses its purpose.
"Lin Wushuang, Wu Mengting, Lu Xiaoyu, Shen Yan, Liu Ting, Li Bingshuang, where are you, I miss you all, please come out, stop hiding from me."
Chen Tianlong is heartbroken and truly has no idea where to go from here.
At this moment, he finally understands the meaning of his life.
It turns out, living isn’t for profit, or power, but to watch your loved ones grow old with you.
Today is August 31, 2016, and it’s three o’clock in the afternoon, the same time he left home for South Sea No.1 Middle School.
"Old Chen, aren’t you supposed to give me a thousand yuan for me to catch a ride to South Sea City to help cure someone?" Chen Tianlong said according to his past experiences.
"Cure someone? With your medical skill, curing someone, what a joke." Old Chen was taken aback, seemingly confused, "You’re not having a fever, are you? Hurry up and eat, then go find a job."
This time Chen Tianlong felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, could it be that it was really a dream, with key episodes forcibly added by him?
Yet, Chen Tianlong refuses to believe it. His intuition tells him it’s real.
After all, his feelings with those girls were genuinely felt, especially Wu Mengting, the woman he loves the most. Even at the last moment, he could still sense her unique fragrance on her body and her tenderness.
Sweet voice, gentle eyes, profound love.
"Old Chen, give me a thousand yuan, I need to go to South Sea No.1 Middle School!"
Chen Tianlong inhaled deeply. He absolutely did not believe this was a dream.
"You really want to go to South Sea No.1 Middle School?" Chen Tian asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, I have to go, otherwise I’m not going to find a job." Chen Tianlong said calmly.
"Alright, then go ahead, make sure to come back soon."
Chen Tian surprisingly took out his wallet, then drew out ten one hundred yuan bills, stuffed them into Chen Tianlong’s hands, then stood up and walked outside.
Holding the money, Chen Tianlong still carrying a backpack, although the plot had changed. But he still believed that as long as there is fate, Wu Mengting and Lin Wushuang will still meet him, repeating that unforgettable romance.
Chen Tianlong grasped the money, quickly ran out with the backpack, just as he reached the corner, he saw a tractor coming along, driven by a young fellow not here for bricks, but hauling a load of sand.
"Hey, brother, can you give me a ride? I need to go to the city." The only thing that changed about Chen Tianlong was his demeanor, calm and composed.
"Sure, hop on."
The young fellow wasn’t that harsh, after all, we’re all young, and somewhat more generous.
Chen Tianlong was delighted, ran over to the driver’s seat, and this time he didn’t sleep but kept watching both sides of the road.
"Junior, what are you looking at? There’s no village ahead or shops behind, no one’s around." The driver seeing Chen Tianlong looking around curiously asked.
"I’m looking at the scenery!"
Chen Tianlong lied, he wanted to see if everything around had changed.
The tractor sped along and soon reached a place about two or three kilometers away from South Sea City’s center, which was the young man’s destination. No one drives a tractor into the city.
"Junior, I can only take you this far, you’ll have to figure out the rest yourself." The driver shrugged and said.
"Okay, got it, thank you."
Chen Tianlong stepped off the vehicle with his backpack, feeling somewhat disappointed looking at the familiar stretch ahead, not far is the fork leading to Lin Wushuang’s place.
Lin Wushuang should still be here, maybe she would remember him, which is his greatest hope.
He ran along the road for twenty minutes and finally stood at the gate of Lin Family Mansion.
It was still the Lin Family Mansion, but was it the one he knew? Eagerly, Chen Tianlong pushed the door open and walked inside.
"Who are you, why are you here?"
Suddenly, a beautiful figure approached, frowning at a dazed Chen Tianlong.
"Wushuang, it’s me!"
Seeing this familiar face, Chen Tianlong felt excited and ran over, ready to embrace Lin Wushuang.
However, just then, someone suddenly flew from the side with a stick aimed at Chen Tianlong’s head.
"Bang!"
Chen Tianlong was struck, head injured. He didn’t dodge because he was in the Lin Family Mansion, where he felt powerless.
Yet Chen Tianlong remained mentally strong, he didn’t feel pain or react harshly towards Lu Xiaoyu nearby, instead gazed at the two girls with deep longing, a sense of reunited after a long separation.
Lin Wushuang glanced at him, though the person seemed unfamiliar, he felt somehow familiar, as if they had been together in past lives.
"Da!"
Lu Xiaoyu reacted, hitting Chen Tianlong with a knee strike, but at this moment Chen Tianlong moved, grabbing Lu Xiaoyu and held her close.
"Xiaoyu, stop it!"
Lu Xiaoyu was stunned, not because Chen Tianlong hugged her, but how he knew her name was Xiaoyu, and the words he said, they felt intimate, like greetings between lovers.
"You rascal, scoundrel, let go of my Meijia or I’ll call the police."
Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu had just returned from registration, their father wasn’t home, and now suddenly this scoundrel appeared, behaving indecently towards them, making them jumpy.
"Wushuang, Xiaoyu, it’s me, I’m Chen Tianlong, do none of you remember me?" At this moment, Chen Tianlong seemed visibly upset, is this truly a case of everyone being drunk while he alone is sober?
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s earnest expression, Lin Wushuang paused, her heart softened. She had planned to make a call but now canceled the idea.
"Um... kid, what’s wrong, why suddenly so sad? It’s not we wanted to hit you, but since you rushed in, we thought you were a scoundrel, so..."
"Wushuang, you’re still as kind-hearted!" Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, gazed lovingly at Lin Wushuang, then slowly walked out of the mansion.
Watching Chen Tianlong’s departing figure, Lin Wushuang felt inexplicably sad, was it sympathy for those tears? Or something else, she didn’t understand.
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, left Lin Family Mansion, and headed for the school.
Ultimately, Chen Tianlong thought of Wu Mengting, thus chose South Sea No.1 Middle School. He climbed over the wall, went to the gate area, and sat quietly on a row of chairs.
He knows that nothing would follow the past routine.
Wu Mengting might not be in that class, might not even appear at South Sea No.1 Middle School.
