Aromatic Flesh Chapter 39.2: Step

He felt as if his whole world was being torn apart after hearing her soft words, and it was as if the fragments of his memories were suddenly scattered all over the place.

Song ZhenYi was so shocked that he suddenly remembered the day he was at the banquet and what Shen Rong had said.

[This must be Young Master Song's fiancee. I have to say, she looked very familiar, and I almost thought she was my sister – Shen Yue.]

The man's expressions and his tone became as clear as day in Song ZhenYi's memories. At that time, he clearly felt as if something was wrong between the two, but he had subconsciously ignored the signs… He was a coward and he had been unwilling to face the situation, convincing himself that Gu MingYue and Shen Rong did not know each other…

So, Gu MingYue was really his sister… So what was the relationship between the two of them?!

He thought of Shen Rong's face, which was so similar to Song HanYi's, and finally unable to control his urges, Song ZhenYi slammed his fist onto the steering wheel.

He was really cowardly in dealing with matters related to Gu MingYue, to think that he would subconsciously ignore facts and signs that were already placed directly in front of his eyes.

Was Gu MingYue really Gu MingYue, or had she always been Shen Yue… The scenes from their past four years flashed through his mind in rewind…

She said her name was Gu MingYue, did it mean that she was determined to forget and let go of her past just to usher in a brand new life with him, or did he never enter her heart at all?

Song ShenYi was too immersed in his complicated and chaotic thoughts that he didn't realize he was stepping deeper and harder onto the accelerator.

And by the time he noticed the incoming big truck, it was already too late.

In his final moments, he clenched the beautifully crafted small box tightly in his hand, and within laid all of his love and adoration for her… But unfortunately, he would never be able to gift it to her personally…

Xiao Yue… If reincarnation was real, will we ever meet again?

It was already the second day after the car accident when Gu MingYue learned of the horrible news.

Because of Shen Rong, she was completely isolated from the outside world, and the only thing that she was allowed to touch was the television in the chamber.

“Breaking news! The man who had passed away in the car accident yesterday morning had been identified as General Song's eldest son – Song ZhenYi. The reason for the tragedy yesterday was…”

Clang!

Gu MingYue, who had been holding onto the remote control, released her hold on it and it fell to the ground in a loud crash. The cover cracked open while the batteries bounced and scattered across the ground.

Standing in front of the television was a woman in white suspender silk pajamas. Her long black hair scattered loosely behind her back while her bare fair skin was covered with purple bruises.

The woman stared blankly at the news broadcast as pictures of the major car crash were shown. In the pictures, the motor vehicle that was involved was a tonnage-class truck and the other one was a car that she was extremely familiar with…

If that bundle of metal mess could still be called a car…

What is this…? Gu MingYue felt as if she had lost comprehension of the entire Chinese language, as she realized she could no longer hear the broadcast clearly nor understand its details…

The woman was completely at a loss as she stood there in a daze, staring at the TV program that had been switched to Hollywood entertainment news by the person outside the room.

She felt her head throb and her vision blurring, as if the world around her was spinning… Perhaps it was an earthquake that she couldn't escape from…

When she next regained her senses, she realized she was in a silent and dark room. Her eyesights were still darkened and blurred, and she lifted up her hands to caress the darkness curiously, only to see blood crawling up her arms.

“Ahh!” She let out a shrill scream before jumping off the hospital bed as she stared at her bloodied arm repeatedly in horror.

Blood… There's blood everywhere…

After what felt like forever, the blood from her arm disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared, and Gu MingYue looked around the room blankly. There was still a blood-red mist wherever she looked, and every other objects were dark and gray, as if she had literally lost the colors of her life.

She calmed herself down enough to observe the setting in the room, instantly catching sight of the window on one side of the wall and the familiar scenery outside.

She was in the Capital Hospital where SongZhenYi worked at.

Song ZhenYi……

Ah.

I suppose it was time for this mission to come to an end……

The beautiful woman sat down on the bed and with her head bowed and her arms crossed over her forehead in a hug, she let loud a low chuckle as a frenzied expression flashed through her charming face.

When her door was pushed open by Shen Rong, who had rushed to collect some daily necessities for her, he noticed that Gu MingYue was sitting on the window sill leisurely, enjoying the view outside as she swayed her legs. She was still in the white pajamas previously, just that she had taken a doctor's hospital coat and wrapped it around her body. Her lustrous black hair fluttered behind her as the autumn wind breezed past.

And upon hearing the sound of the door closing behind her, she turned her little face, which was as beautiful as an elf's in a fantasy world, slightly towards the room and fixed her gaze on the man.

And for the second time in her life, she flashed him a warm and unburdened smile filled with relief.

Shen Rong instinctively felt like something was amiss. The last time Gu MingYue flashed him such a warm smile, he lost her for four long years.

“You've arrived.” Gu MingYue's expression was that of the young lady from his memory. She always spoke to him in such a casual tone, while staring with eyes that seemed the penetrate thousands of rivers and mountains, and everything in the universe, except him.

One more part to go, I'll post it within the next 2 minutes 😉
