Hua Lifang slightly bit her lower lip. "If I hadn't saved you, you wouldn't be nice to me?"
She only wanted him to say no, but she was instead met with a pair of indifferent and estranged phoenix eyes.
The man looked at her calmly as if he was looking at a stranger.
Suddenly, Hua Lifang felt a pang of regret for what she had just said. "I... I want you to be nice to me not just because I saved your life, but… But because of something else..." she stammered defensively.
"All right, don't overthink it. It's getting late, so you should have an early night," Gu Lichen said lightly.
As he spoke, he opened the car door and was about to get into the car when Hua Lifang suddenly said behind him, "Be careful on the way, Chenchen!"
The word ‘Chenchen’ made Gu Lichen's body stiffen immediately. A memory of the time when the petite figure carried him down the mountain flashed through his mind.
The girl kept talking to him as she was afraid that he would faint from the bleeding.
"What's your name? If you don't tell me, I'll call you Chenchen. It's the word on the edge of your shirt. Is it your name?"
"You can't sleep, Chenchen. If you do, you won't wake up."
"Let me tell you a story. What do you like to hear? I'm a great storyteller! Answer me, Chenchen!"
"Chenchen... Chenchen..."
The word ‘Chenchen’ had haunted his ears again and again over the years, also waking him up from his dream again and again.
If she had not been there back then, he would not be here now!
When he listened to the song, he felt as if the pain did not hurt as much.
Even then... He felt that it would be good to go on like this with her.
However... Now that he had found ‘her’, why was he not happy? It was Hua Lifang because she showed him a picture of herself as a child, and Hua Lifang knew about the song ‘Strolling Down the Path of Life’. She also called him Chenchen and could even give a rough account of the events back then.
He had never told anyone about it, so there was no one Hua Lifang could have heard it from.
The only possibility was that Hua Lifang was indeed the person he was looking for.
However... It was a pity that he felt nothing when he looked at her. It was as if he was just looking at a stranger.
The car drove back to the mansion in Shen City. Gu Lichen opened the car door and got out. He went to his studio and looked at all the paintings he had painted.
