Chapter 2, The Eyes Deep Within Memory

Ziqing hurriedly fumbled through her bag and took out her phone; it was Dongxu

Ziqing and her dream lover are quite famous among their friends

She always draws those eyes, but apart from the eyes, she cannot draw anything else. When she tries to imagine the other features to accompany those eyes, she feels that they are all wrong, forever wrong

Ziqing always unconsciously wants to draw those eyes

What shall we have for lunch? Ziqing asked with great interest while casually wiping her sticky hands. The leap in her thoughts was astonishing. The past is the past; in this life, one must live well and fill their stomach properly.

People gradually concluded that her appearance was merely a coincidence

The emergence of Dongxu left her relatives perplexed. In their helplessness, they tenuously connected it to an ancient rumor. It turned out that it signified a particularly fortunate omen, which is why new members of the family were named "Ruoqing," "Shengqing," and the like

Until her birth, there was a pea-sized crimson mark above her heart, which made the rumors seem so mysterious. Indeed, she was named "Zi Qing" and also received the ancestral crystal.

Only the pair of eyes is drawn... the other features are absent

Where are you? Shopping? Li Dongxu heard the noise from Zhiqing's side and smiled slightly; she is always so leisurely

She has many relatives, and it is a very large family

She firmly believes that this is a memory from her past life, perhaps a kind of omen

No matter what, I don't want to see her, I just want to see you! I miss my wife, and you brought such a big light bulb, is it bright or not? Dongxu is being unreasonable again

She suspected that all of this was merely a figment of her imagination and wished to forget. However, those irritating eyes seemed to always gaze at her from the depths of her memory, calling out to her

Your way of thinking is not bad; at least it brings you psychological balance

"What sound is that? Your phone?" Meng Lin leaned closer to Zi Qing to listen.

This person is always being overly sentimental, and Zhiqing has gotten used to it. "I am with Menglin."

"Hmm, are you still at the company?" Ziqing truly feels a bit sorry for this person; being an elite is not easy at all. The time she uses for leisure, he spends working.

For many years, everyone regarded this ancestral teaching as merely a topic of conversation, merely a testament to their family's long-standing heritage. The so-called crystal accessory is nothing more than a half-moon shape carved from amethyst; although the patterns are intricate and beautiful, it is not worth much, and thus has never been sold.

When she was young, her relatives looked at her with a mix of suspicion and fear, and some even came to her seeking divine guidance. However, she was just an ordinary girl. Not to mention any special abilities, even her "basic functions" were unremarkable. Throughout her life, she had nothing extraordinary about her, and apart from her pleasing appearance, she was completely average.

The teacher has also been defeated

Ziqing glared at her indignantly, "If there really is a past life, we must have been enemies, and I owe you a lot!"

Zi Qing watched her walk away with a heart full of pain, surrounded by inexplicable people, all of whom seemed to be there to collect debts! Even Li Dongxu was among them!

Meng Lin glanced at her without courtesy, "You are treating, and you are about to become a young mistress, no matter how many meals I eat, I feel like I am profiting from it."

Understood, young master!" Ziqing elongated her tone

This person claims to be here to learn painting, yet their work resembles that of an amateur; to say she is a rotten wood would be to waste materials.

... ...

I have time at noon, shall we have lunch together? I miss you. Dongxu closed the documents on the table

Even she herself was very disappointed; the self that was supposed to be special and mysterious ended up with such an ordinary fate. Aside from the beautiful eyes that were always in her heart, there was nothing else.

In Ziqing's artwork, only this pair of eyes received praise from the teacher. The teacher had high hopes for her to depict the whole figure, but she replied: I only remember this pair of eyes

Because she always paints those eyes

Before she could speak, Meng Lin was already rolling her eyes and said, "Understood, Young Master Li wants to meet his fiancée alone—what a display of affection, for someone in their twenties. I'm leaving now; this meal will be added to the next one. You can also substitute quality for quantity."

It is precisely Dongxu who is to marry her in this lifetime. Everything is merely a whimsical dream of a young girl, and she finds herself rather amusing.

Those eyes, deeply embedded in her memory, the eyes that made her feel flustered, she firmly believed that these eyes were a recollection of a past life, perhaps this fate would continue into the present life

Every family has some strange legends that have been passed down through generations. For instance, if someone in their family gives birth to a girl with a red mark on her chest, she must be named "Zi Qing" and will inherit the ancestral crystal accessories

Those eyes that made her feel a deep sadness whenever she thought of them seemed to hold many lost memories, leaving only some vague traces. She always desperately tried to recall, but could remember nothing.
