215 WHAT’S GOING ON?

“...Bai Chen! What’s going on with you? Why are you suddenly so quiet?”

Bai Chen gasped in surprise when he heard someone question him. It was not only the voice that managed to pull him out of his reverie, but how the other person shook his shoulders with his hands also managed to help him shake off the strange image that had just appeared in his head.

He didn’t even know what had happened to him, but his mind suddenly produced a mysterious image that he was sure wasn’t part of his own memory.

‘That memory suddenly appeared when I’m in this river. The setting is not in the modern world, so I believe those memories belong to the real Bai Chen of this world. But, why do I suddenly have those memories in my head?’

The strange memories had stopped flooding his mind, but Bai Chen’s heart was still pounding because of it, and he was still quite disturbed by what he had just seen in his head.

It seemed that the real Bai Chen in this world was still a child in the memory, and there was also a woman who appeared in his head, and it seemed that the woman was Bai Chen’s mother, Tang Yanmei.

Apart from the woman, Bai Chen also saw another child, but he couldn’t see the child’s full face because the child’s forehead was covered by something like gauze. He only thought that the child might be older than Bai Chen by two or three years, but he did not know about the identity of the child.

“Answer me, Bai Chen! Why are you suddenly silent?”

Another strong shake on his shoulders, and Bai Chen finally realized that he had indeed been silent for a while due to the strange memory. He blinked his blue eyes to see a clear picture of Zhu Ge looking frantic as the man continued to shake his shoulders to get his attention.

.....

Yes, the man in red did look panicked and worried, and for some reason, Bai Chen suddenly felt safe when he realized that he wasn’t alone when he suddenly felt something was wrong with him.

He had suddenly obtained the real Bai Chen’s memories, so of course, he felt very strange about what had just happened to him.

“I’m fine,” Bai Chen replied, but only those two words escaped his lips instead of giving the taller man a lengthy explanation.

“What do you mean you’re fine?” Zhu Ge asked while frowning at the shorter figure. “It seems your mind went elsewhere and your eyes look so blank! What happened to you? I didn’t sense the Flute Demon’s presence, but you acted as if you were under the demon’s spell!”

Bai Chen did not expect that the older man would mention the Flute Demon. Previously they had talked about the demon, but it seemed that the conversation about the demon did not make Zhu Ge feel happy.

However, after Bai Chen was suddenly lost in strange memories, Zhu Ge suddenly thought he was under the Flute Demon spell, and that only proved that the crow-haired man was very worried about him.

With a sigh, Bai Chen explained, “I just remembered what happened in this place when I was a child. I wasn’t under the spell of the Flute Demon.”

For some reason, Bai Chen was certain that the Flute Demon was not involved in the sudden wave of memories in his head. The memory just came out of nowhere, but he was sure it had nothing to do with the demon.

He also didn’t think he should hide what he saw in his memories from Zhu Ge, and that was why he decided to share his burden with someone who managed to fill the void in his heart not long after he transmigrated into this world.

“You... do you have any memories of this place?” Zhu Ge asked again, and for some reason, Bai Chen thought that the man in red was a bit hesitant when he said that sentence.

Zhu Ge had confirmed that he was not under the spell of the Flute Demon, but for some reason, the man still looked worried even after he explained the real things that happened to him a moment ago.

It seemed that the taller man was taken aback by what he just said, but Bai Chen didn’t even know why the man looked so surprised.

“Mhm, I have memories of this place, but I’ve forgotten about it and only remember it now,” Bai Chen replied, and he somehow assumed that the real Bai Chen in this world might indeed have forgotten about what happened in the river when he was a child.

He also didn’t know why he could be sure of his assumptions, but he was somehow confident that those memories had been buried for so many years, and not even the real Bai Chen would remember them.

He simply didn’t understand why Bai Chen’s memories had suddenly flashed through his mind as if they had become one with his own, and that was why he looked flustered as he was still standing face to face with Zhu Ge.

Zhu Ge even still had both his hands on his shoulders, and the grip on his shoulders tightened as the man asked again, “What kind of memories do you have of this place? You didn’t show any signs that you had some memories of this place when we came to this river about a month ago, and it’s probably true that you forgot the memories at that time.”

The man in red carefully questioned him, and Bai Chen could see a hint of curiosity in the man’s voice and expression. Zhu Ge’s hands were also still on his shoulders, and it didn’t seem like the man would let go of him until he gave an answer to the question.

He assumed Zhu Ge was interested in what happened to him in the river when he was a child, and Bai Chen pondered for a moment before he replied, “I remember how I saved a small child in this river when I was a child.”
