Zhang Yun's speed was impressive. By noon the next day, I saw her. However, as soon as my gaze fell upon the ring on her right ring finger, I was taken aback. "What’s up with that ring?" I couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Yun stared blankly and replied, "Why do you ask that? I’m not..." Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly noticed my aunt behind me shaking her head slightly. Confused, I turned around and curiously asked, "Not what?"
Faced with my question, Zhang Yun appeared a bit flustered. She quickly waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, nothing. Come on, let me take a good look at you. You seem to have lost a lot of weight!" Her eyes revealed a hint of concern and worry, which warmed my heart but also deepened my questions about her earlier hesitation.
"Alright, alright, stop standing there. Let's sit down and chat," my aunt urged Zhang Yun to take a seat. "Since you're here, don’t leave today."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Auntie. I just missed the stars a bit and came straight over; please don’t mind."
"You have Xiao Fan to keep you company now. I'll go check on things in the kitchen while you two talk." With that, my aunt got up and headed to the kitchen.
"What’s wrong with you?" Zhang Yun continued to press, her tone filled with concern and urgency. Her brows were tightly knitted together, and her eyes showed deep worry.
"I heard from Dr. Zhang that it's memory loss due to trauma," I said slowly, my voice somewhat low. Upon hearing this news, Zhang Yun's mouth dropped open in shock; she clearly hadn’t anticipated such a situation.
"What did you forget?" Zhang Yun asked nervously, her hands unconsciously clenching as if trying to grasp something for comfort.
I paused for a moment before softly asking, "Do you know someone named Shen Yulin? Or do you know that I know him?"
A flicker of hesitation crossed Zhang Yun's eyes as she began to struggle internally. She thought to herself: What happened to the stars that led to memory loss? Could it really be related to Mr. Shen? How should I respond? If I admit to knowing him, will it remind her of painful memories? But if I say I don’t know him, what if she regains her memory later and blames me for not telling her the truth?
As Zhang Yun was caught in this dilemma, I watched her remain silent for a long time and couldn’t help but call out, "Zhang Yun?" She finally snapped back to reality and slowly raised her gaze to meet mine. However, her eyes were still filled with hesitation and unease as they remained fixed on the teacup on the coffee table, seemingly pondering something important.
"What’s wrong?"
"It’s nothing. Shen Yulin... he was our classmate in the second year of junior high," Zhang Yun cautiously began, her eyes flickering uncertainly.
"A classmate? Why can’t I remember any of this?" I lamented as I tapped my head in frustration, trying hard to recall bits and pieces from the past. Yet my mind remained blank as if that memory had been deliberately erased.
A thought flashed through my mind that sent a shiver down my spine. I looked up and stared intently into Zhang Yun's eyes, pressing further: "But it’s not just that, right? That day he held me and cried; it seemed like he had different feelings for me. What’s going on?"
Zhang Yun's complexion turned pale; she bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "In junior high, you really liked him, but he thought you were too young at that time and should focus on your studies, so he didn’t agree to be with you."
"So that's how it is..." I murmured to myself.
