Chapter 542: Chapter 542: A Mistake? Missed?

As she was lost in thought, there came a knock at the door.

“Sisi, are you asleep?”

Outside, Liu Zhi’er’s knocking could be heard.

Liu Sisi hurriedly got up, threw on a piece of clothing, and opened the door: “Second Sister, we two sisters haven’t had a good talk in a while. Come in and we’ll chat.”

Although the sisters were living under the same roof, Liu Sisi had been busy with Ye Lei’s matters, and Liu Zhi’er was preoccupied with the dumpling restaurant’s business. Besides seeing each other at dinner, they hardly interacted in their day-to-day lives.

Liu Zhi’er obediently entered the room, her hands rubbing together a bit nervously.

“Indeed, we sisters haven’t had a proper conversation in quite some time.”

“Second Sister, come, let’s talk in more detail under the quilt.”

Liu Sisi beckoned Liu Zhi’er.

Even though it was already mid-February, the night’s weather was still cool.

The two sisters lay down side by side, their heads touching, sharing the same quilt, both silent.

“Do you remember the last time we two sisters shared the same bed, slept under the same quilt? It was when we were seven years old, wasn’t it? Time has passed, and I can’t remember for certain.”

“Isn’t that the truth? I remember that time too…”

Liu Zhi’er responded agreeably but suddenly stopped, abruptly sitting up and looking intently at Liu Sisi.

“Sisi, have your memories…returned?”

Liu Sisi didn’t intend to keep it a secret from her, nodding lightly: “Mhm! My memories came back when the accident happened last time. It’s just that they’re too scattered and fragmented, some even incoherent. So…”

Looking at the gently smiling Liu Sisi in front of her, Liu Zhi’er couldn’t describe the feelings welling up within her.

Slowly lying down again, Liu Zhi’er tenderly grasped Liu Sisi’s hand.

“Don’t worry, since you can remember these things, the rest should come back to you gradually. It’s probably just a matter of time.”

“Mhm, I’m not in a hurry either.”

Liu Sisi chuckled softly: “I still remember the last time we two sisters had a candlelit night talk. It was because the Zuo Family came with tokens, saying that the younger generation should fulfill the initial promise of the Close Engagement, right?”

“Sisi, it seems that your memory has truly recovered.” Liu Zhi’er had a joyful expression on her face.

Liu Sisi was filled with melancholy, her heart aching with indescribable feelings.

“I was young and didn’t know any better, just afraid of being alone. I heard that a husband could be a lifelong companion, so I set my sights on the lively young Zuo Xingyu. Despite our parents wanting to bestow him upon you, I forcefully took him from your hands. Who would’ve thought that he’d turn from a playful mud-covered child to the stiff man he is now?”

As she spoke, even Liu Sisi laughed at herself.

Liu Zhi’er’s smile was also a bit awkward, and after moving her mouth several times, she finally whispered.

“Ain’t that the truth! Back then, he was such a mischievous little scamp! As soon as he arrived at our home, he’d pull our hair…”

She too gradually got lost in the memories, a meaningful smile on her face.
