Chapter 348 You Married a Ghost, Not Me
"Don't you hate me?" This sentence immediately snatched the carpet from under his feet. Fu Yusheng looked up at Song Yan in surprise. He looked at her and thought he had misheard at first, but when she repeated her question, he smiled at her and said, "I don't...why would I hate you?
Song Yan lowered her head, her fingers brushing the edge of the cup in her hand, looking at Qi Chengjisi, and she remembered something. A woman she had long forgotten - a woman she hated, a woman who turned her whole world upside down. She had always hoped that the memory of that woman could be buried, but when she saw Qi Chengjisi, she remembered that woman.
"I thought you never went out because you were busy, or because you were afraid something might happen to me or Chen Chen—"
"That's right—"
"But that's not true, is it?" She raised her head and looked at Fu Yusheng, her cold eyes blinking slightly, her eyes were cold. "You stay away from me because I'm afraid of you... Fu Yusheng, are you afraid of me?"
"Of course... of course not," he replied, feeling a little out of touch. "I... I've never been afraid of you. If I had been, I wouldn't have married you when you courted me, and I wouldn't have consummated our marriage... If I... If I had been afraid of you, how could we have such a lovely son -"
"You saw me," she interrupted him, putting the cup on the table and looking up into his eyes. If it weren't for the bracelet on Qi Chengjisi's hand, Song Yan would have forgotten the woman. She had forgotten the woman long ago. After all, when she saw her, she was just a child, a child of a child. The memory was fleeting, but when she saw Qi Chengjisi in black, red lips, red shoes, and the same bracelet, she remembered the woman she had buried in the back of her mind. "You saw that I was obsessed."
"No," he refused, but his movements were a little too fast. He stood up from the chair and looked away, but not at her. "I don't know what you are talking about. I think the medicine is working. You should... you should go to sleep... Song Yan."
“You saw me that day,” she continued, ignoring Fu Yusheng’s attempts to interrupt their conversation. “You saw me talking to an invisible person—”
"Song Yan... I think you're dizzy because of the fever—"
"You saw me picking up the big rocks on the street—"
"No, I didn't. Didn't I say your fever had clouded your mind?"
"You saw me lift that heavy stone and kill that child—"
"Song Yan!" Fu Yusheng shouted, interrupting Song Yan immediately. He took a deep breath, swallowed hard, squatted on the ground, and held her hands. "You didn't kill the child, you didn't do anything wrong... and I'm not afraid of you... okay? You should go to bed..."
“She’s still here,” she interrupted, looking into Fu Yusheng’s eyes. “When I touched the bracelet on Qi Chengji’s hand, I felt her presence. I thought she had left, but she’s still here, wandering the streets of this world like a parasite. For example, Fu Yusheng, what would happen if that woman came to me? For me again? Would you stay with me and try to save me… send me to see a psychiatrist and believe that everything I said to you was just my imagination?”
She took her hand away from his and said, "But now that you know about ghosts, where are you going to send me? Or will you get scared like last time and run away because you can't stop me? Because you can't help me?"
Fu Yusheng looked helpless, looked around the room, stood up from the ground, and didn't dare to look Song Yan in the eye. "I'm not afraid of you--"
"You married me because you were afraid I would hurt your family, or at least the woman who had you believe she had been there for me for so long... I'm surprised I forgot all about her." Song Yan stopped him from making any more excuses, she remembered everything now. With the sudden exhaustion and the improvement of her cultivation, she was finally able to clear the haze in her mind and remember the things she had forgotten when she died. "You didn't marry me, you didn't consummate the marriage with me, it was all her right... the devil woman you married. That's why you kept avoiding me, and didn't come back until you heard that I was no longer the same person you used to be?"
"What are you talking about?" His face was as pale as the moon, but he smiled and tilted his head to the right to look at Fu Chen. "I'm married to you. We have a marriage certificate. The name on the marriage certificate is yours—"
"Let me see it," Song Yan stood up from the bed and looked at him with a blank, empty gaze. "Let me see the marriage certificate..."
"There is nothing to study, but if you want I will tell you--"
"Yu Sheng and Fu Yu Sheng," Song Yan stopped him and turned his head to look at Fu Yu Sheng. "Let me see the two of them, let me see the reality that I have forgotten and refused to accept, let me see how that woman has ruined your life and mine. Let me see the evidence of our unfortunate relationship."
