Chapter 45.3 (1/2)

While he was still hesitating, the two cats crouched in front of the door, one on the left and the other on the right. The green and blue eyed cats stared at him enchantingly, as if enticing for him to open the door.

Xiao Tangqiu took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Behind the door was an ordinary room – not very large, with only a few pieces of ordinary furniture and in the center of the room was a big wooden bed, where there lay someone.

Xiao Tangqiu froze but the two cats nimbly jumped on the bed and climbed to the right and left side of that person.

The man lying in bed was Shen Yuan who was still in a coma.

Shen Yuan lay in bed, looking as weak as ever. His eyes were shut tight, long eyelashes hanging down and face pale and fragile like porcelain.

The two cats crouched by Shen Yuan’s shoulder, one on the left and the other on the right, softly meowing, as if gently calling their owner, but he couldn’t hear them.

Xiao Tangqiu’s chest felt like it had tightened into a ball. He approached Shen Yuan’s bed in a trance. When he finally stood in front of Shen Yuan, his breathing grew short and rapid and his heart pounded faster and faster… But he was afraid that his heartbeat and breathing would somehow disturb Shen Yuan so he tried his best to slow down his breathing and calm his heart.

Xiao Tangqiu stood by Shen Yuan’s bed, looking down at the person sleeping in bed while he carefully held his breath.

Right then, he suddenly noticed Shen Yuan eyelashes quivering slightly. Just when he suspected that it was an illusion, he realized that Shen Yuan’s eyelids had also moved gently.

Could it be…

At this moment, he was completely unable to control his heartbeat.

Ba-dum!

Ba-dum!

At the same time Xiao Tangqiu’s heart was beating rapidly, Shen Yuan’s eyelashes suddenly trembled violently.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

Xiao Tangqiu’s gaze unexpectedly collided into Shen Yuan’s. Shen Yuan’s eyes, which had just woken up from a coma, were deep like a bottomless, immeasurable sea and like the ends of a dark, incapacitating abyss.

This one glance felt so distant; it was as if he had been aeons away.

However, it only lasted a moment and immediately disappeared without a trace.

Shen Yuan blinked, his eyes seeming strange and vacant. He looked straight at Xiao Tangqiu who was in front of him, as if he were a stranger he was seeing for the first time.

Xiao Tangqiu was too overjoyed that Shen Yuan had regained consciousness to think about Shen Yuan’s abnormality. At this time, Tang Mianmian also noticed that Shen Yuan had woken up. He cried with excitement, “Shen Yuan is awake! Shen Yuan is awake!”

At Tang Mianmian’s shout, Duan Hongzhen also noticed that Shen Yuan had awoken. He immediately leaned in and found that Shen Yuan was really awake. He burst out, not bothering to conceal his surprise, “Captain, you’re really awake!”

Shen Yuan glanced at Duan Hongzhen but soon he withdrew his sight as if he didn’t have any interest in him and turned to look back at Xiao Tangqiu.

Shen Yuan stared straight at Xiao Tangqiu, his alienated gaze filled with curiosity. He seemed very interested in Xiao Tangqiu.

“How are you feeling now?” Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t wait to ask Shen Yuan, completely missing Shen Yuan’s detached expression. “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere…”

Shen Yuan asked, “Who are you?”

Xiao Tangqiu froze.

He was dumbstruck for some time, failing to react. He asked in a daze, “Don’t you remember me?”

Shen Yuan stared straight at Xiao Tangqiu and asked again, “Who are you?”

Xiao Tangqiu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but for a moment, he didn’t know what to say. Who was he? Who was he to Shen Yuan?

Just then, the door was suddenly opened from outside and a group of people rushed up. It was the members of the reincarnation team.

“Older brother Shen! Are you awake?”

“Older brother Shen, you finally woke up!”

Shen Yuan’s teammates swarmed in and surrounded Shen Yuan who had just awakened, pushing Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian aside.

Xiao Tangqiu didn’t even have the chance to answer Shen Yuan’s question before he was made to stand at the back of the crowd. He could only watch Shen Yuan from afar and swallow down the words the moment they reached his lips.

……Shen Yuan had amnesia?

Or perhaps Shen Yuan had only forgotten him?

Very quickly, his question was answered because in the next moment, Shen Yuan looked at Duan Hongzhen and the others, frowning slightly, “Who are you?”

Duan Hongzhen froze, “Captain, don’t you remember us?”

Shen Yuan lightly glanced at Duan Hongzhen, “Should I know you?”

Duan Hongzhen was speechless for a moment but finally, Xue Junli spoke, “Don’t you remember us? Do you still remember who you are?”
