Chapter 53: Memory
The weather was extremely hot and the sun was extremely bright. Su Yan was standing in a beautiful garden with beautiful oleanders planted on both sides. The oleanders had been carefully trimmed into bushes that were half a meter tall. Fresh pink flowers decorated the dark green leaves, looking full of vitality and extremely lively.
“Daddy, look, it’s blooming.” The clear and bright sound of a child could be heard from afar, accompanied by messy footsteps. A moment later, Su Yan saw a little girl with pigtails running over. The girl was only four or five years old. She was small and not as tall as the oleander.
The little girl stretched out her hand and gently tapped the pink flower. She was about to say something when she saw the tall figure behind her follow up. She immediately retracted her hand and even placed it behind her back. She looked left and right, looking guilty.
A man followed behind the girl. The man was tall and thin. When he saw the girl like this, he half squatted down with a smile and lightly tapped the girl’s nose. His tone was not particularly bright. “Xixi, how can you touch this flower? Didn’t Daddy tell you before that the oleanders are poisonous?”
Xixi?
Su Yan wanted to go closer to look at the girl and the man, but it was as if she had been immobilized. She could not move her feet no matter what.
On the other side, Xixi let the man hug her as if she was currying favor. The moment the man carried her up, Xixi dissipated like sand in the wind. The man continued the motion of carrying someone and turned around. Su Yan could not see the man’s face clearly against the light. She only felt that the man was elegant and handsome.
The man said happily, “Xixi, I didn’t expect you to have grown so big.”
Then, like a girl, the man gradually turned into particles and dispersed with the wind.
“No!”
“No!”
Su Yan felt a little sad. She broke free from her shackles and rushed forward, desperately trying to save the man and prevent him from disappearing. However, when Su Yan ran in front of the man, the man just happened to disappear completely.
“No!”
Su Yan suddenly woke up from her dream. She looked at her surroundings and only regained her senses after a long while. She felt a chill on her face and reached out to touch her fingertips, only to see sparkling teardrops.
Looking at the tears on her fingertips, Su Yan was a little stunned. After a long while, she recalled that dream. She lowered her head and suddenly realized that the small space in the backyard was very similar to the one in her dream.
However, in the dream, there were beautiful oleanders on both sides. However, there were no more oleanders now. There were china roses planted on both sides. Perhaps it was because they were not properly tended, but the china roses were sparse and the flowers seemed a little wilted.
Su Yan looked at that small space and suddenly wondered if what happened in the dream was real. It was only because she was hypnotized that she didn’t remember it.
After a moment of thought, Su Yan took out her phone and searched for news about Su Qian’s case that she had seen the day before. After she clicked on it, she looked into Su Qian’s eyes, trying to recall something.
Unfortunately, the impact of Su Qian’s case was too great, so there was a certain amount of screening restrictions on Su Qian’s case online. As a result, Su Yan unfortunately could not see the news report again, so she naturally could not meet Su Qian’s eyes.
Just as Su Yan was about to put down her phone, she received a text message.
“I know what you’re looking for. Do you want to know the truth? Come play a game with me.”
Su Yan looked at the message that was obviously up to no good. She paused for a moment and chose to ignore it.
“How stupid do you think I am? Why would I fall for it?” Su Yan even scoffed at the message.
Of course, although playing a game with the person behind her was a good choice as it saved her effort and effort, Su Yan really did not have the interest to do such strange things.
After lying on the bed for a while, Su Yan regained her strength and energy. She then took a shower and went downstairs to have breakfast.
However, there was no one at the dining table today, only Su Yan’s food.
Su Yan pointed at the breakfast on the dining table and looked strangely at the nanny standing at the side. “Where are Grandpa and Third Uncle?”
The nanny replied gently, “Old Sir and Third Master went to the company early in the morning. Before they left, they reminded me to let Little Miss eat first if she wakes up. There’s no need to wait for them.”
Although Su Yan felt ashamed at the nanny’s address, she had no intention of correcting her.
Su Yan asked, “What happened at the company? Grandpa and Third Uncle didn’t even have time to eat breakfast.”
The nanny expressed that she did not know. She was just a nanny and hoped that Su Yan would not make things difficult for her.
Su Yan, who was eating breakfast, took a few more glances at the nanny. She was in her twenties and had delicate features. She could barely be considered a pretty daughter from a humble family.
Being stared at by Su Yan, the nanny felt a little guilty for no reason. She coughed lightly and asked, “Little Miss, is there a problem? Is there something on my face?”
Su Yan smiled. “Of course not.”
