Back Then, I Adored You

She had gone to the Gu’s old mansion no less than ninety times in the past nine years, but he couldn’t remember who she was.

Was she sad about it?

Absolutely. She hid in her room and cried as hard as she had the day after she came home, just like what was happening now.

Later, she hadn’t been as sad anymore because she had noticed that Gu Yusheng treated all other girls the same way.

He couldn’t remember any girl’s face or name.

When Gu Yusheng and Liang Doukou were seniors and about to graduate, a freshman named Qin Zhi’ai had come to the school. She had seemed special to Gu Yusheng.

Had she envied Qin Zhi’ai?

Absolutely, but she hadn’t been able to do anything about it. She only secretly envied her. She had been jealous of the young girl who had actually looked a little like her.

Her jealousy hadn’t lasted long after Gu Yusheng joined the military. He and his special girl had lost contact.

Liang Doukou knew he had a special place for Qin Zhi’ai, and she tried hard not to let herself be bothered by it. She had been waiting for Gu Yusheng to come back from the military, when one day, she learned that Gu Yusheng had received a head injury and forgotten about Qin Zhi’ai.

Even though Gu Yusheng had never paid attention to Liang Doukou, she still felt lucky and pleased about it.

She wanted to work in the entertainment industry. She was good looking, but some features on her face needed minor plastic surgery. When she was looking for models to model her face on, she suddenly remembered Qin Zhi’ai, whom Gu Yusheng had forgotten.

She had naively thought he might notice her if she looked like her, because he had thought that she was special before he lost his memory.

However, she had failed. Later, she had met Zhou Jing.

Even though Gu Yusheng never fell in love with her, Zhou Jing helped her win Gu Yusheng’s grandpa over. His grandpa determined that she should be his granddaughter.

She was grateful for Zhou Jing. If it hadn’t been for Zhou Jing, Gu Yusheng and her life would have been two parallel lines that never intersected.

However, things happened in life. Something had happened to Liang Doukou.

History seemed to repeat itself. Another special woman stole Gu Yusheng’s attention. He seemed to have a much stronger connection and feeling with this new woman.

Zhou Jing had tried to come up with plans, but Liang Doukou had still been very sad. After becoming Gu Yusheng’s wife, she wanted Gu Yusheng even more. However, she had no other options, since she knew better than Zhou Jing that Gu Yusheng had fallen in love with Qin Zhi’ai, her body double, because Qin Zhi’ai had always been in his deep memory, in his blood. If she switched back, Gu Yusheng would definitely notice. If she didn’t lose him in her life, she would have to give up his love for her.

When Gu Yusheng had driven halfway back, he saw in the rear view mirror that Qin Zhi’ai was exhausted and resting on the backseat with her eyes closed.

They’d had a good time that night, but he had felt like something wasn’t right, especially after she sang the song. She had smiled brightly at him, but there seemed to be a deeper meaning behind the smile.

Just like at this moment, she looked like she was sleeping with her eyes closed, but in fact, she wasn’t sleeping. She looked peaceful, but he could feel how disturbed she was inside. She wasn’t calm.

Was she in a bad mood? Was she hiding anything from him?

Gu Yusheng watched Liang Doukou as he drove. When he drove to an intersection, waiting for the traffic light, he could not help calling out to her. “Little troublemaker?”

“What?” Qin Zhi’ai didn’t open her eyes for a while after she responded Gu Yusheng.
