Chapter 241: That Is Why It Is Called Liking

~8 min read 1,402 words

In the car returning to the Cheng Family Old Residence.

Old Madam Cheng was persuading Cheng Han.

"Yu Yue is a good child; if Qingya is with him, she will be very well taken care of."

She could tell that Lin Qingya's reliance on Yu Yue was carved into her very bones.

Cheng Han pursed his lips, his tone impassive, "We will also take very good care of her, no need to trouble an outsider. Furthermore, it was Yu Yue who caused her amnesia and cognitive impairment; Lin Qingya may not necessarily want to marry him."

He had objections to Yu Yue.

If Yu Yue had helped Lin Qingya find her family, Cheng Han would not be so repulsed; after all, people don't just pop out of a crack in a stone, but Yu Yue had deceived Lin Qingya.

Old Madam Cheng sighed slightly at Cheng Han's obsession; regardless of whether Cheng Han was doing this out of selfishness or something else, Lin Qingya truly should come home.

"I invited them to come to the house for a meal tomorrow; when the time comes, it will be better to speak openly about whatever needs to be said."

Cheng Han nodded in silence.

The Cheng Family still valued Lin Qingya, so the dinner was prepared lavishly.

Cheng Wan arrived early and, hearing the sound of the car, immediately went out to meet them.

Lin Qingya got out of the car supported by Yu Yue, hiding in Yu Yue's arms with some trepidation.

Yu Yue comforted her, and after saying something, Lin Qingya obediently followed him forward.

"This is Grandma," Yu Yue taught Lin Qingya how to address her.

Walking up to Cheng Han, Yu Yue paused and introduced, "This is Brother."

Lin Qingya still remembered Cheng Han's rudeness; seeing him, she immediately retreated two steps, biting her lip and refusing to address him.

Cheng Han's expression darkened, but he still squeezed out a smile, "Qingya, welcome home."

No matter how unwilling he was, he dared not frighten Lin Qingya.

Regardless of anything else, the relationship could not be allowed to worsen further.

"Qingya." Cheng Wan stepped forward, her eyes slightly red, "I am Wanwan, we are best friends."

Lin Qingya looked at Yu Yue, and Yu Yue nodded.

Only then did a smile appear on Lin Qingya's lips, and she pulled on Cheng Wan's hand, "Wanwan."

She had a good impression of Cheng Wan, feeling a closeness for no apparent reason.

Cheng Wan took her to the living room.

Qin Ping'an and Cheng An'an were playing with toys.

Lin Qingya's intelligence was now like that of a child, and upon seeing those toys, she was immediately unable to walk away.

Qin Ping'an invited her to join them.

Lin Qingya happily agreed at once.

No matter how one looked at it, she appeared to be an ignorant child.

Cheng Wan felt a bit sad, yet she also felt that this was quite good.

At the very least, she could forget those unpleasant past events.

She asked Qin Ping'an to take good care of An'an and Lin Qingya, then went to the other side.

They were discussing Lin Qingya's illness.

Cheng Han advocated for immediate hospitalization to help Lin Qingya recover her memory, but Yu Yue opposed it.

"She has always been very resistant to hospitals."

How could Yu Yue bear to let Lin Qingya remain in this state forever? He also wanted to cure Lin Qingya, but Lin Qingya refused to go to the hospital, so many treatments could not be performed.

He had agreed to come also because he wanted to know what exactly had happened to Lin Qingya back then.

Why she refused to go to any hospital.

Old Madam Cheng said, "This matter is related to her parents. Back then, her parents died saving my son, and Qingya saw their final moments in the hospital; this event likely left her with psychological trauma."

Yu Yue nodded; so that was it.

Although Lin Qingya had amnesia, some things were carved into her bones, exceptionally profound.

Cheng Han frowned, "Are you suggesting we let her be a fool for the rest of her life?"

He always felt that Lin Qingya choosing Yu Yue was a sign of a muddled mind.

Therefore, no matter what method it took, he had to cure Lin Qingya.

"From now on, Qingya will live at home," Cheng Han made the decision, "By having more contact with her family, she will eventually recover her memory."

Yu Yue refused to agree, "She has never left me; this is too cruel for her."

Cheng Han sneered, "She lived in our house for so many years, why didn't I see how cruel it was then?"

Yu Yue retorted, "Then can you tell me why, when I first met her, she didn't have a shred of spirit in her?"

Cheng Han was left speechless.

Yu Yue looked at Old Madam Cheng, "I know you are worried about her, but you have seen her state; she is indeed not suited to live here, so I will bring her over every day until she slowly becomes familiar with you all."

This was indeed a good method, showing that Yu Yue was thinking of Lin Qingya's well-being.

Cheng Han was about to speak, but Cheng Wan walked in, "This method is very good; it avoids distressing Qingya while allowing her to slowly build a connection with us."

She agreed with this method.

Old Madam Cheng also nodded, "Then let's do it that way."

Cheng Han left the living room.

He saw Lin Qingya in the small room next door.

She was fiddling with Qin Ping'an and Cheng An'an's toys, occasionally clapping her hands like a little child.

Exceptionally innocent.

Cheng Han could not help but walk inside.

Qin Ping'an saw him first and immediately called out, "Uncle."

Cheng An'an rushed over, wanting Cheng Han to hold him, "Uncle."

Lin Qingya thought for a moment and also opened her mouth to follow suit, "Uncle."

Cheng Han did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Cheng Han reached out his hand, wanting to touch Lin Qingya's cheek, but halfway there, he silently pulled it back; he could not provoke Lin Qingya right now.

He took several deep breaths before he managed to suppress the impulse in his heart.

Cheng Han placed An'an into Lin Qingya's arms, "You two have a good time playing."

He fled in a panic.

Cheng An'an stared quietly at Lin Qingya, then smacked a kiss on her.

Lin Qingya covered her face and let out a cry, then looked at Cheng An'an in her arms in disbelief.

"An'an?" She whispered his name, only feeling a very soft place deep in her heart gently pulsing.

Cheng An'an began to giggle.

Cheng Wan walked in on tiptoe; she knew An'an was a joy-bringer, so she had specifically instructed him to cheer Lin Qingya up.

It appeared now that An'an was performing very well.

"Qingya, do you still remember that we once made a pact that my child would be your child in the future?"

Lin Qingya opened her eyes wide in confusion, not understanding the meaning of these words.

Cheng Wan did not say anything more; she took Lin Qingya to the Garden.

The flowers in the Garden were clustered together, looking exceptionally beautiful.

Lin Qingya fell in love with it at first sight.

Cheng Wan introduced it to her very patiently, and soon, Lin Qingya developed a bit of reliance on her.

At dinner, Lin Qingya sat beside Old Madam Cheng, acting very well-behaved.

Beside her was Cheng Wan, and opposite were Cheng Han and Yu Yue. The meal was eaten quite harmoniously.

After the meal, Yu Yue took Lin Qingya away.

Cheng Han kept watching.

Cheng Wan advised, "Brother, let go."

Cheng Han's eye sockets turned red, and he remained silent.

Cheng Wan could not persuade him and could only sigh as she left.

Do not blame her for standing on Yu Yue's side; who told Lin Qingya to like Yu Yue?

Moreover, Yu Yue truly had an inexhaustible amount of patience for Lin Qingya.

"Wanwan, you say that when you like someone, is it really that hard to forget?"

"Of course, that is why it is called liking." Cheng Wan thought of those past events and deeply understood the meaning of those two words.

Liking is the most ethereal thing in the world.
