Chapter 337 Do you really not remember me?
Chapter 337 Do you really not remember me?
In court, Yan Jiecheng denied everything, but he still could not escape the punishment of the law. He was sentenced to death and executed immediately.
Chu Tian didn't feel any pleasure when he heard the news. He won the lawsuit, but lost Yu Li forever. He walked aimlessly on the street, feeling like a child who had lost his way.
He came to the park where he and Yu Li used to walk together and sat on the bench they often sat on. He closed his eyes, as if he could still feel Yu Li's presence.
"Yu Li, did you see that? I avenged you..." Chu Tian murmured to himself.
Suddenly, he felt someone tapping his shoulder. He opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure standing in front of him.
"Yu Li?!" Chu Tian couldn't believe his eyes.
The woman standing in front of him looked exactly like Yu Li, but her eyes were full of strangeness and vigilance.
"Who are you?" the woman asked in a clear and pleasant voice.
Chu Tian was stunned. He didn't know how to answer.
Was it an illusion? Or was Yu Li really back?
"Who are you?" the woman asked again, with a hint of impatience in her tone.
Chu Tian finally came back to his senses and looked carefully at the woman in front of him. She was wearing the same clothes as Yu Li, had the same appearance as Yu Li, and even had the same scent as Yu Li. However, her eyes were so strange and cold.
"I...I'm Chu Tian..." Chu Tian stammered, "Yu Li...is that you?"
The woman frowned, as if trying to recall something. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "I don't know you, and my name is not Yu Li."
Chu Tian's heart sank. Was he really hallucinating? He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the woman in front of him again. She was still standing there, real and clear.
"Then...what's your name?" Chu Tian asked unwillingly.
"My name is...Xiaoyu." The woman said after hesitating for a moment.
"Xiao Yu?" Chu Tian repeated the name, feeling so strange, yet so familiar. He always felt that he had heard this name somewhere before, but he could not remember it.
"You...you really don't remember me?" Chu Tian asked again, with a hint of begging in his tone.
Xiaoyu shook her head, her eyes full of confusion.
Chu Tian felt as if his heart was cut by a knife. He could not accept this reality. He would rather believe that he was hallucinating than believe that Yu Li really disappeared and reappeared in another identity.
He stood up and wanted to leave this heartbreaking place, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and he could not take a single step.
Xiaoyu looked at Chu Tian's painful expression, and a trace of pity rose in her heart. She walked to Chu Tian, gently held his hand, and said, "Are you...are you okay?"
Chu Tian raised his head and looked at Xiaoyu's concerned eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He held Xiaoyu's hand and felt that her hand was so soft and warm, just like Yu Li's hand.
"I... I'm fine." Chu Tian said, suppressing the grief in his heart.
"You...you seem very sad." Xiaoyu said, "Can you tell me what happened?"
Chu Tian hesitated for a moment, but finally told Xiaoyu the story between him and Yu Li, as well as Yu Li's death.
Xiaoyu listened quietly, her eyes full of sympathy and sadness. When she heard that Yu Li was brutally killed by Yan Jiecheng, her fists clenched tightly, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes.
"This beast!" Xiaoyu said gritting her teeth.
Chu Tian looked at Xiaoyu's angry expression and felt a little comforted. He knew that even if Xiaoyu was not Yu Li, she had a kind and righteous heart just like Yu Li.
"Thank you, Xiaoyu." Chu Tian said, "Thank you for listening to me."
"You're welcome." Xiaoyu said, "I sympathize with your situation."
The two sat in the park for a long time, talking to each other about their sorrows and sadness. Gradually, night fell and fewer and fewer people were in the park.
"I...I should go back." Xiaoyu said.
"Let me take you there." Chu Tian said.
"No need." Xiaoyu said, "I can go back by myself."
Chu Tian wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. He looked at Xiaoyu's back as she walked away, feeling reluctant and confused.
Chu Tian stared at the woman in front of him, his mind buzzing. This woman looked exactly like the dead Yu Li, even the small beauty mole between her eyebrows was exactly the same. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The woman felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him. She frowned slightly and asked again: "Who are you?"
Chu Tian came back to his senses and spoke dryly: "My... my name is Chu Tian..."
"Chu Tian?" The woman repeated the name in a low voice, as if trying to remember something, but finally shook her head, "I don't know you."
Chu Tian's heart sank. Was he really hallucinating? He smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, the woman suddenly said, "But I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."
She thought hard, and suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said, "I remember now! You are...you are the Chu Tian who is a good cook?"
Chu Tian was stunned. He didn't expect that she knew him. He nodded and asked in confusion: "How...how did you know?"
The woman smiled and said, "My name is Qin Huairu, Yu Li's sister. She used to talk to me about you, saying that your cooking skills are better than Sha Zhu's, and your dishes are tastier than those in state-owned restaurants."
Chu Tian finally understood that she was Yu Li's sister. He looked at Qin Huairu carefully and found that although she looked similar to Yu Li, their temperaments were completely different. Yu Li was gentle and quiet, while Qin Huairu was more lively and cheerful.
"Yu Li...is she okay?" Qin Huairu asked cautiously, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Chu Tian's heart suddenly twitched. He didn't know how to answer this question. He was silent for a moment, and finally decided to tell her the truth: "Yu Li...she is gone..."
Qin Huairu's face changed, and she asked in disbelief, "Gone? What do you mean?"
Chu Tian told Qin Huairu everything about Yu Li's experience and Yan Jiecheng's fate. After hearing this, Qin Huairu turned pale and couldn't stop crying.
“How could this happen… How could this happen…” she muttered to herself, collapsing on the bench.
Chu Tian patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "My condolences..."
The two sat in silence until the sun set.
Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and said, "Chu Tian, I...I want to ask you for a favor."
"What help?" Chu Tian asked.
"I want to open a restaurant and I want you to be the chef." Qin Huairu said, "I know you are a good cook, and Yu Li has always said she wants to try your dishes. I think she would be very happy if we could open a restaurant named after her."
