Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s-Chapter 1698 - 1634: Still Seeing You
Chapter 1698: Chapter 1634: Still Seeing You
Ah Liu eased his stance and said, "It’s alright, and I remembered someone."
Meng Xinian also eased his stance and asked in surprise, "Who did you remember? Does your head hurt?"
Before leaving, Chiang Xiao left medicine here, so Ah Liu’s mental state has improved quite a bit compared to before over the past few days. Moreover, the injury on his forehead from that night has completely healed without leaving a scar.
"I remembered an old gentleman. I seem to have transcribed books for him back then in exchange for some money. I wonder if the old gentleman is still alive now."
Meng Xinian had heard Chiang Xiao mention this before, so he immediately knew who Ah Liu was talking about when he heard this.
"Are you talking about an old gentleman in City J? He has already passed away, but Little still has a book you transcribed back then."
Ah Liu was taken aback.
"Little... How does she have it?"
"She’s been looking for you, and there was a clue provided by an Old Master Bai in City J, so she went to look there."
Ah Liu took a towel and wiped his face, suddenly gazing at Meng Xinian with a weighted look.
Meng Xinian’s heart sank at once.
Again.
Whenever Ah Liu looked at him like this, Meng Xinian would have the illusion that Ah Liu was a superior, feeling that despite his calm demeanor, there was a faint sense of authority.
Yet, he remained composed and didn’t ask Ah Liu what he was looking at.
"Great Officer Meng," Ah Liu suddenly called him, "I always feel apart from that time when you captured the criminals, I’ve seen you somewhere else."
Meng Xinian remained silent, "Uncle Six, haven’t I told you? You’re an elder; just call me by my name."
"But why do I feel that you weren’t like this at that time? You seemed rugged, skinny to the point where your face was hollowed, very desolate."
Ah Liu ignored Meng Xinian’s words and continued talking to himself.
Meng Xinian was taken aback upon hearing his words.
"Me?"
Impossible, he was still young back then; he didn’t have a beard at all.
After being with Chiang Xiaoxiao, she always said he was getting old, and he even wanted to look younger, so how could he grow a beard? Every time he visited her, he shaved very cleanly, okay?
Besides, Chiang Xiaoxiao still thinks he looks handsome now, so how could he let himself become so skinny that his face hollows? Plus, he has Chiang Xiaoxiao, what is there to be desolate about?
Could it be talking about that time he went abroad for a mission and got severely injured?
But his miserable state then couldn’t be called desolate, right?
"Yes, it’s you," Ah Liu was still looking at him, but after a moment, he suddenly closed his eyes forcefully, his body slightly swayed, and immediately supported himself with the tree beside him.
Meng Xinian sensed something wasn’t right and promptly supported him.
"Uncle Six?"
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing, I’m just recovering. It used to be like this often, but it hasn’t happened for many years; why did it start again suddenly?"
Ah Liu’s voice was low; the first half of the sentence was directed at Meng Xinian, but the latter half sounded like he was talking to himself.
Although Meng Xinian heard him clearly, he couldn’t understand what he meant.
Previously, when Ah Liu talked about having seen him, capturing criminals or something, Meng Xinian thought it was because his mind was still unclear, speaking nonsense.
But after spending a few days with Ah Liu, Meng Xinian doesn’t think like that anymore.
Because from his observations over these few days, Ah Liu really seems to have gotten much better, except for some rather childish issues, and certain perspectives that are a bit presumptuous. Other than the memory loss, his other behaviors, logic, and thinking are not problematic.
