Chapter 24

UNEDITED

In the early morning after father and sons finished running and shadowboxing, Ling Jingxuan pushed the handcart to Yuehua ravine. They were going to the market in the county town today so he planned to catch some fish to bring to town to sell. Before leaving he didn’t forget to repeatedly remind the two buns to put out the fire after the medicine was finished boiling, but he forgot about their curiosity towards that man. You could say that you didn’t care about something, but in the end they had a blood relationship, how could they not care even a little bit.

Yan Chengrui for years had practiced martial arts. His listening ability was especially good. Everything that had happened in this family, he heard all of it, including the conversation between Ling Jingxuan and the two buns yesterday, as well as the wine and jam stuff Ling Jingxuan was talking about. Although he lost his memory, a lot of instincts still existed. With a short interaction, it let him understand Ling Jingxuan’s character, and as a result made him curious, constantly keeping it in his thoughts.

Of course, this didn’t mean he liked Ling Jingxuan. He could only say, compared to restoring his memory, he wanted to understand Ling Jingxuan even more. He wanted to know more about things pertaining to him.

“This is your medicine. Daddy made you mushroom bran paste in the morning, you should hurry and eat ba.”

The two buns hesitated at the door for a long time before finally shoving themselves into the room. Ling Wen sullenly put the two big bowls in front of him. His line of sight from beginning to end never looked at him, consequently he ignored the man’s focused gaze. On the other hand although Ling Wu hid behind Ling Wen, his gaze on occasion would sweep over the man. After hearing what his daddy had said before, he finally realized that they really did look similar, practically were all cast from the same mold.

“You eat this everyday?”

Knowing that the two children didn’t like him, Yan Chengrui also did not shower affection on them. He retracted his gaze to look at the black paste in front of him. Floating in it was several pieces of brown mushrooms. Thinking of the food Ling Jingxuan brought him these past two days, it seems that all of it was like this. Yan Chengrui lifted his head, a slight expression of heartache slid through his dark pupils. He forgot everything, naturally he didn’t remember what he looked like. These past two days he was continuously laying down, basically didn't have a chance to see what he looked like. Towards the appearance of the two buns, he didn't feel anything. Only, seeing them, his heart would conjure up a strange feeling of cherish.
