Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You Novel - Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Her Mom

Su Shanshan pursed her lips. She knew this truth, but when she saw the corpses of those infants, she was really angry. Those infants were not loved since they were born, just like… her birth was just a tool for her mom to make her dad stay in the relationship. After her dad died, her mom married Gu Jincheng’s father and Su Shanshan became useless to her.

From then on, she became a burden and was often scolded and beaten up.

Before abandoning Su Shanshan… her mom realized that Gu Jincheng loved her and so she was useful to her again. She kept forcing her to curry favor with Gu Jincheng, which was why she disliked him so much previously.

Su Shanshan looked at Gu Jincheng in the backseat through the rearview mirror, her gaze complicated and difficult to understand. She had never mentioned her mom once in her life. She wondered how she was doing. Is that woman still alive?

Gu Jincheng was a little nervous from her gaze which he didn’t understand, but his heart skipped a beat. He asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Su Shanshan hesitated, then shook her head. “Nothing.”

Gu Jincheng knew that she was lying, but he did not have any memories of her and did not even know where to start asking. For the first time, he desperately wanted to know what had happened between them.

The car drove steadily in the direction of City K. Neither of them said anything else. The interior of the car seemed a little quiet. However, the silence was too long, and something seemed wrong.

Su Shanshan looked back and saw that Gu Jincheng’s eyes were closed and his face was pale. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and even the veins on his arm were bulging, as if he was enduring some huge pain. Su Shanshan was shocked. She quickly stopped the car by the side of the road, jumped out of the driver’s seat, and rushed to the back seat. She thought that his leg injury had worsened and reached out to touch his leg.

The moment her hand touched his pants, Gu Jincheng, who had opened his eyes, grabbed it and pulled her into his arms.

He held her tightly in his arms. She could clearly feel his heartbeat accelerating. The thumping sound made her heart beat uncontrollably.

“Are you alright?” After a while, Su Shanshan saw that Gu Jincheng had not moved.

Gu Jincheng hugged her even tighter, and his hoarse voice sounded. “Have I forgotten a lot? I want to remember. I want to know how we met. I want to know about us.”

So he is in so much pain because he’s forcing himself to remember? she thought.

Tears welled up in Su Shanshan’s eyes. She wrapped her arms around his waist and said, “What if our memories aren’t good ones?”

She had never been nice to Gu Jincheng in her previous life. She hurt him recklessly and even made him lose his life in the end. When she found out that he had lost his memory, there was even a moment when Su Shanshan was happy. In that case, could she get to know him again and pretend that nothing had happened before?

Although she knew that she was deceiving herself, there was a moment when Su Shanshan really thought so.

“Although I don’t remember, I feel that my memories of you are sweet,” Gu Jincheng said.

Unable to hold it in anymore, Su Shanshan broke down and cried loudly. She buried herself in Gu Jincheng’s arms and cried, “I’m not good. I’ve done many wrong things. I’ve let you down. Boohoo-I’m really not good – 11

Her words were fragmentary and incoherent. Gu Jincheng did not understand what she was saying, but he could feel her pain and frustration.

As Gu Jincheng touched her hair to comfort her, he was even more determined to remember. He wanted to know what this woman meant to him.

Su Shanshan looked up from his arms with reddened eyes and asked the same question again. “Why do you like me?”

Gu Jincheng did not joke like the last time but answered seriously, “Although I don’t have any memory, if it’s you, there’s no reason. I just like you.”

Then when your memory comes back, will you stop liking me?
