Chapter 249 She Doesn’t Recognize Him Anymore
The sky is bright.
The servants in Jianghuai Courtyard have already started to get busy, especially the ones who are on night watch, who all feel guilty.
I don't know why I fell asleep last night, but luckily I woke up in time when the shift reliever came, otherwise I would have been discovered and my monthly salary would have been deducted. Unfortunately, their luck didn't last long.
Lin Jiaojiao was still a little dazed when she woke up. She had drunk a few extra glasses at a college reunion last night, but the sudden appearance of several memories in her mind caught her off guard, so she had traveled through time again.
She raised one hand to cover her face, and as for the other hand which was held tightly by someone, she did not pull it out or push away the person who was pressing against her side because she knew who it was.
Unexpectedly, eight years after she came back, she is no longer the lively, cheerful and naive girl she used to be, but now a socially anxious otaku.
After graduating from college, she seldom contacted her friends. Staying at home for three years made her somewhat out of touch with society and she didn't like dealing with others. She always felt that they all made friends with her for a purpose, and this was not without basis.
At first, she would make some new friends and go shopping and playing together, but later on, they began to frequently ask her to borrow money or ask her to invest.
At first she would lend them her money and help out, but later on they started to get worse, so she cut off the relationship. This incident made her depressed for a while, and she gradually stayed at home, because she could buy anything she wanted online anyway.
She quite likes this kind of life. She can do whatever she wants and doesn't need to cater to anyone.
The days of being a parasite are really happy.
Now the excitement of first love has returned, but she is already twenty-four. If she remembers correctly, Qi Yao is only twenty-two, right?
So now she can't call him brother at all, it's too embarrassing.
She raised her hands that were covering her face and looked at the top of the bed curtain. After thinking for a while, she decided to get up first. Just as she pulled her hand out of his hand a little, it was held back again.
She was just about to turn sideways and push away this koala-like thing, as she was feeling so hot from being held so tightly, when she heard the soft and surprised voice of the person next to her who had just woken up.
"Wife, wake up."
She froze for a moment; this was not his voice.
However, the voice continued: "My wife, are you feeling unwell? I will go get you a glass of water to moisten your throat first."
After he said that, he let her go, stood up, lifted the quilt, walked to the end of the bed, stepped over her and got out of bed.
She came to her senses and sat up immediately. She lifted the quilt and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her inner clothes were intact.
Then he looked up and saw a thin man wearing a white inner garment, with beautiful black hair draped behind him, picking up a teapot at the table and walking out of the house.
He opened the door, and the servant waiting outside immediately became alert. When he was about to go into the house to clean up, he found that the door was only open a crack, and then a teapot was handed out.
"Please bring me a kettle of hot water, thank you."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
He closed the door and walked quickly to the bed. He was happy to see that she had sat up, but when he got closer he met her wary gaze. His heart ached, but when she asked him the question, he was completely panicked.
"who are you?"
When he went to the door, Lin Jiaojiao took out a mirror to look at herself. She was still herself, and she had not been transformed into someone else, and the space was still there.
She was confused as to why she woke up in someone else's bed. If she was missing, Qi Yao would definitely be worried and sad. She had to go back quickly, so she didn't notice the heartbroken look on the face of the person in front of her and continued to ask.
“Is this Qingzhou?”
As long as we are still in Qingzhou, it will be easy.
He clutched the clothes on his chest tightly, and his heart felt as if it was being torn into pieces.
Why is this happening?
She doesn't recognize him anymore.
He didn't reply for a long time and saw the person in front of him frowning. His throat was dry and hoarse, and he spoke after a long while.
"Yes."
The man in front of him relaxed his brows when he heard the answer. He didn't care that he was still beside him. He directly threw back the quilt, got out of bed and started to get dressed. After a while, he was dressed and hurried out of the house, but was grabbed by the sleeve by the man who had been silent all the time.
His eyes were red, his hand holding her sleeve was trembling slightly, and his voice was hoarse.
"Are you Lin Jiaojiao from China?"
Lin Jiaojiao was about to pull back her sleeves but was stopped by his question: How did this guy know where she was from?
Seeing that the person looked like he was about to cry, she couldn't bear it, so she nodded.
"you know me?"
His heart finally settled down. Fortunately, it was just amnesia. She was still herself.
"Do you really not remember me?"
He looked at her pleadingly with the last glimmer of hope, but she still shook her head in confusion.
"I don't know you, are you wearing it too?"
"I…"
"Knock knock, the water is ready."
The conversation was interrupted, so Lin Yizhi had to loosen her sleeves, walked quickly to the door, opened the door, quickly took the teapot and closed the door.
Another servant who was about to go in with a basin of hot water was turned away. When he was hesitating whether to knock again, the door opened again, but this time the servant took the basin of hot water from his hand, brought it in, and then closed the door.
Lin Yizhi put the basin of hot water on the washstand, picked up a towel, wet it, wrung it dry, and came to Lin Jiaojiao, who was sitting at the table drinking hot water to moisten her throat.
When Lin Jiaojiao saw that he was about to wipe her face, she quickly put down the teacup and took the handkerchief.
"I can do it myself. Why don't you put on your clothes first? It's cold now so you don't catch a cold."
He listened and looked down to see himself still wearing his underwear walking around the room. His face immediately turned red, but he was more happy because she still cared about him.
"Okay, I'll go get dressed right away."
She wiped her face with a handkerchief, then stood up, went to the basin of hot water, washed the handkerchief, wrung it dry, and hung it on the rack. She began to look at the layout of the house. The size and furnishings of the room were similar to the room she lived in. It seemed that the family was well off.
But she just couldn't figure out why she was here and why this person knew her background.
Here, Lin Yizhi changed his clothes and went to the sink to wash and comb his hair. He decided to go find Prefect Jiang and Fu's mother and ask a doctor to take a good look.
He tidied himself and walked to her side. He wanted to hold her hand to give her some advice but she pushed it away. He suppressed his hurt emotions, looked at her and spoke.
"My dear wife, please stay in the room first, and don't go out. I'll go call my stepmother and mother over, okay?"
After all, this is Jiang Huai's yard, and a woman's sudden appearance would damage his reputation.
She was thinking of Qi Yao in her heart, so she nodded in agreement.
The servant outside the house was waiting, and just waited for the door to open before going in to clean and tidy up. After the door finally opened, the person who came out closed the door again.
"Stand guard at the door and don't go in. I'll be back soon."
"Yes."
Lin Jiaojiao waited in the room for a while, and after making sure that the person had left, she tiptoed to the door and put her ear to it to listen. Just when she thought that there was no one outside and was about to open the door, a voice rang out and frightened her so much that she froze.
"Why is Mr. Lin acting so strange today?"
"Yes, it's a little mysterious. Could it be that someone is hiding in the house?"
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense..."
The person hiding in the room silently gave them a thumbs up, brothers, you have revealed the truth.
She tiptoed back, looked around the room, and finally chose a window on the left.
She opened the window and took a peek because this location was the best, not facing the yard but just facing a corner, and there were green plants to block the view.
She moved a stool, opened the window and stuck her head out, but saw no one there, so she quickly stepped on the stool and climbed out.
After going out, she hid behind the green plants close to the wall and slowly moved to the corner, carefully looking into the yard.
Damn it! Why is there someone sweeping the yard so early in the morning? And there are two door gods in the house next to hers. There is no way she can escape without being noticed.
It’s still better in Qi Yaoyuan. The servants know very well when to show up.
The door in the middle of the row of houses behind her was opened. Because the door faced the yard, she turned her head to look over.
Zhu Xue walked out and first glanced towards the right wing. Seeing that the door was not open, she turned back and came to the dressing table.
"Master, Mr. Lin doesn't seem to be awake yet."
Jiang Huai also stood up and nodded slightly as he listened to what Zhu Xue said. Usually when he got up, Lin Yizhi had already gotten up and was waiting for him in the yard to go to the dining room for dinner together.
Maybe he knew that Lin Jiaojiao would be back today, so his tense nerves relaxed.
"It's still early, let him sleep for a while."
