"You did?!" Li Caiyi exclaid in surprise.
Dai Shenqiang felt that Li Caiyi's reaction was a bit over the top, almost comical, but he covered the shock with laughter.
anwhile, Li Caiyi's heart skipped a beat. "Th-then, do you also like peppermint scent?"
"I have never thought about it so seriously before, but if I have to choose, then yes. I like mint candies and mint colors, too."
Li Caiyi cald herself down. The last two questioning sessions ended with failure because she could not control her excitent. This ti, she should tread more carefully.
"Actually, I have been searching for a person. This person helped a lot before, but I only knew his na." Li Caiyi scrutinized his face closely. "His na is Shen Qiang."
The hand that had been busy scooping out ice cream stopped. Dai Shenqiang was expressionless for a second, but later, he had a knowing smile on his face.
"I see, so that's why. I assud you also saved because you think I was the person you were looking for?"
Li Caiyi pursed her lips. She had heard about Dai Shenqiang's condition, and she was relieved she decided to step in before his injuries got worse. However, had those burly n not ntioned Shen Qiang's na, she did not know whether she could muster the sa courage for a complete stranger.
Humans were selfish creatures, and Li Caiyi was no exception.
"That's right," Li Caiyi calmly replied.
Dai Shenqiang smiled. "Don't make a face like that. If our position were switched, I would also do the sa as you."
"What kind of face did I make?"
"You looked like you felt guilty about it, even though there is no reason for you to feel like that. I was very thankful you had saved back there." Dai Shenqiang raised his right hand slightly. "I don't know how I will live if I lose my right hand. I won't be able to draw anymore, and that is equal to killing ."
Li Caiyi's gaze fell to the drawing on top of the bedside table. She saw him draw with his left hand earlier, and now she looked at it; he was pretty good with it. Although the scratch was ssy and crooked, she could still discern a view of the hospital's garden from it. He must have used the view outside the window as a reference.
"Your drawing is so good." Li Caiyi sincerely praised it.
"Ah, that? That one was just a child scribble."
"The scribble made by your left hand is still better than my drawing with my dominant hand, though. The only thing I can draw well is a mountain with the sun on top."
Dai Shenqiang chuckled. "That's nice. I want to see it if I can."
"No way. I'm not the type of person who likes to humiliate myself."
"I don't think a drawing made by a pretty girl like you can be that bad. Show next ti, will you?" Dai Shenqiang said while propping his chin with his left hand. His eyes twinkled charmingly.
Li Caiyi's mouth hung open at how smooth his line was. He didn't even flinch or be embarrassed by it.
Her Shen Qiang was also very natural at flirting. It was as if he had a lot of experience with won, despite his clumsiness.
Fueled by this new information, Li Caiyi asked him. "Shenqiang, can you cook?"
"Hmm, well, I never tried it before, so I would not know if I can do it or not. I think it's a pretty boring activity, though."
Li Caiyi's heart was beating faster with anticipation. Her Shen Qiang also found cooking a hassle; that was why he stocked up piles of canned food in his fridge!
"Th-then, do you like mooncakes?"
There was a massive change in Dai Shenqiang's face when Li Caiyi ntioned that. He tried to cover it by replying cheerfully, but the frown on his face gave it away. "I don't like them very much."
Li Caiyi had always been looking forward to eting Shen Qiang again, and why did she feel like the boy in front of him beca more and more like him? Was this because he was the one, or was it just wishful thinking on her part?
"Then, if you have an apartnt, what kind of style do you prefer? A simple style?"
Dai Shenqiang chuckled. "Your questions had a unique variety to them, and I like it. As for your question, I don't really have any preference. What's important is that I have a roof above and a bed under . Oh, and a bathroom. I did not care that much about the interior."
"What color do you like the most?"
"I like all colors. As an artist, I think every color has its own charms. If I have to choose, I will choose a green mint color, though."
Li Caiyi thought deeply. He did not say he disliked black and white color, and preference like this could easily change when you got older.
What should she do? The more she asked, the more she felt that Dai Shenqiang was her Shen Qiang.
"Shenqiang, do you have a girlfriend or soone you like? Ah, please don't get offended. I'm just asking casually."
His eyes glinted mischievously. "Why? Does your Shen Qiang say he has soone he likes already? That's rough."
"Just answer my question."
"Hmm, not at the mont. I am just a boy who likes to draw and has a huge family debt. I don't have any luxury to like, much less dating soone right now."
Li Caiyi subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. If Dai Shenqiang was indeed the one she was looking for, then he probably had not t his beloved during this ti. That ans she still got a chance!
Li Caiyi took a deep breath. "This will be my last question. Do you rember ?"
"Co again?"
"I'm asking you if you rember ever eting sowhere before?"
Li Caiyi did not know if Shen Qiang had his previous life mory like her. She did not want to think about the possibility of being forgotten by him, but what if that was the truth?
Dai Shenqiang stared at Li Caiyi deeply before a simple smile appeared on his face.
"Are you asking that because you don't rember? Or because you rember, but you want to test ?"
Ba-thump.
Li Caiyi's heart felt like it was sinking to her feet. When the mont of the truth was almost in front of your eyes, was it natural to feel afraid of it?
"S-Shenqiang, what are—"
"Li Caiyi, I rember you."
