章 19: Previous Life’s Memories

While Li Chenmo was deep in his thoughts, Lu Jueyu came back with food. She was taken aback when she saw his expression. For a moment, she felt a chill down her spine, and felt that the person in front of her was not the hero, but a ruthless villain.

Li Chenmo noticed a person standing at the door, so he turned around and saw her standing there motionless.

"Why do you just stand there and not come in?" He asked with a smile, with a hint of doting in his voice.

When she came back to her senses, Lu Jueyu saw his smiling face and thought what she saw just now was a hallucination. She must have made a mistake. The character setting of the hero is righteous, brave, loyal, gentle, and kind. It was completely different from the expression she saw on him just now.

Lu Jueyu looked at him as she walked to the Kang bed and placed the food on the small table.

Lu Jueyu scooped up a bowl of chicken soup, handed it to Li Chenmo, and said, "Drink some soup first to warm your stomach."

"En."

Li Chenmo drank the soup obediently. While he was drinking the soup, Lu Jueyu served him a bowl of vegetable porridge and glanced at him from time to time. He seemed so honest and gentle. She must have been hallucinating just now.

Sensing her gaze, Li Chenmo asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"No, try this." She picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it in his bowl.

While Li Chenmo was eating, Lu Jueyu was lost in thought. Because of this, she didn't notice that he looked at her with eyes full of possessiveness and obsession. When she looked at him, his gaze returned to normal instantly.

After he finished eating, she cleaned up the bowl and said, "Brother Chenmo, I made a lot of steamed buns, you can warm them up for lunch later."

Hearing her words, he looked at her and asked several questions at once, "Won't you come later? Do you need to do something? Are you going somewhere?"

While she was taken aback by his reaction, Lu Jueyu still said honestly, "I will bring your dinner. But I may not be able to bring you lunch, so I made some more steamed buns. I plan to use bamboo to build a waterway and get water from the mountain, so that my family can use mountain spring water for cooking and drinking. Drinking brackish water for a long time will cause many health problems. Therefore, we still have to find a way to get mountain spring water."

Li Chenmo nodded and said, "Then be careful when you work, don't get hurt."

"I will. Take a rest, if you want to go out, let Uncle Li help you."

As if sensing his uneasiness, before leaving, she touched his chin and whispered, "Before we go to the county seat, we have to shave your beard clean."

Feeling his newly grown beard pricking her palm, she smiled with bright eyes. This is a novel experience for her, because it is the first time she has been so intimate with the opposite sex.

"Well, I have to go back now. See you tonight."

Li Chenmo hadn't recovered until she left his room. When she touched his chin just now, a memory that didn't belong to him flashed in his mind.

He saw a girl who looked exactly like Lu Jueyu, but that girl couldn't be her. Because, that girl was wearing shorts, showing off her straight, smooth, beautiful long legs. She laughed as she chatted with a tall man, and the place seemed to be in a school. Her smile was as bright as the one she had just given him.

After a long time, he touched his chest, feeling his heart was beating fast, like he was suffocating. The feeling was so familiar that it shocked him. It seems that his obsession and possessiveness towards her are not without reason. Did he already love her from a very long time ago?

When this idea appeared in his mind, not only did he not feel surprised, but he even felt very happy. The feeling was fleeting, but he felt as if he had finally found his long-lost treasure. This time, he will not miss the opportunity again. He didn't want to die with regrets anymore.

Li Chenmo was taken aback by his own thoughts, and sat on the bed in a daze.

"Yu'er… Yu'er…" He called her name over and over again in a low voice, as if he was trying to remember something very important.

After leaving Li's house, Lu Jueyu did not go back to her home immediately, but walked up the mountain. She put the jars and bamboo baskets in her own space and went into the mountain. From the moment she crossed over, she was curious about the mountain. Due to the author's laziness, there are quite a few plot holes in the novel due to lack of logic.

For example, the trees, mushrooms, fruits, and even the staple food grown on the mountain didn't fit the climate and location and the reason has not been explained by the author. The author just used this mountain as the place where Su Anna plotted against Lu Jueyu. After that, it is not mentioned in the novel again.

According to logic, since it is very close to the village, the villagers should go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and other food. Therefore, it is impossible for them not to notice anything unusual about this accident. But instead of asking what happened or if there is a witness, the villagers already judged that they were having an affair the moment they saw Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu hugging each other with disheveled clothes inside the pit. Who in their right mind would do something like that in a pit?

Lu Jueyu finally reached the foot of the mountain, and saw a few bushes of wild berries behind the trees. She was surprised by this unexpected discovery.
