Chapter 222 Erasing Memories! She made the worst choice, but she'll never know!
Lin Fan's words were like two thunderclaps, booming in Qin Huairu's mind.
She knelt upright on the ground.
His body trembled violently, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant.
Erasing memories?
Let's go back to square one?
This was something she never dared to dream of.
She had thought that Lin Fan would only give her some money at most.
Or find her a job so she can make a living.
Now, the choice Lin Fan offered was beyond all her expectations.
Qin Huairu's thoughts were in complete disarray.
She gazed at Lin Fan's calm face.
Then he looked at the children kneeling beside him.
Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua all stared at him expectantly.
His eyes were filled with confusion and dependence.
"Mom, what's wrong with us?" Xiao Dang asked timidly.
Qin Huairu did not answer.
She had no idea how to answer.
Lin Fan's voice rang out again.
Still calm, yet exuding an undeniable authority: "I'll give you five minutes to consider."
"Let me know when you've chosen, I don't have that much time."
Five minutes!
Qin Huairu felt her heart pounding violently, almost bursting out of her chest.
This is hardly a choice.
This is practically a verdict.
The first road.
They could remain in the courtyard, but could never step into Lin Fan's door again.
Forgot about Lin Fan.
Forget everything in Lin Fan's courtyard.
Live your ordinary life.
Qin Huairu's heart sank.
If she chooses this path, it means she will forever live in the shadow of He Yuzhu's meteoric rise to power.
She had to watch helplessly as He Yuzhu was in Lin Fan's yard.
They were eating food prepared by immortals.
They enjoy the treatment of immortals.
But she and her child could only struggle in this mundane quagmire.
She is not reconciled!
She was truly unwilling to accept it!
These days, she has been watching He Yuzhu's changes.
My heart felt as if it were being repeatedly pulled apart by a dull knife.
That silly boy who used to fawn over her.
I am now Mr. Lin's apprentice.
He was full of energy and had an upright posture.
Even the food they cooked had a unique aroma.
Bang Geng and the others ate the snacks that He Yuzhu brought back.
My health is getting better and better.
Their academic performance has improved.
Qin Huairu knew.
That was a predestined connection with the gods.
That was the destiny of immortality she dreamed of, yet could never even touch.
If she chooses the first path, she will be severing all ties with this divine destiny.
She will forever remain that struggling widow.
Her child will always be an ordinary child.
She looked towards Lin Fan's courtyard.
The high courtyard wall acts as a natural barrier.
This completely separates the mortal and immortal realms.
she knows.
If she chooses the first option, that wall will forever remain an insurmountable obstacle for her.
What about the second option?
Erase all memories of Lin Fan and this courtyard.
Let's go back to the beginning.
Xu Damao will speak again.
Yan Bugui will forget that invisible wall.
He Yuzhu will revert to being the silly Zhu who used to fawn over her.
The past days floated into Qin Huairu's mind.
He Yuzhu listened to her every word.
When there's something good, the first person I think of is her and her child.
She can continue to "borrow" things from He Yuzhu.
To support his own family.
The courtyard was noisy.
But Qin Huairu always managed to rely on her "shrewdness" and "gentleness".
He was adept at navigating this situation.
To secure the best interests for yourself and your child.
Those were the days.
Although it was tough and tiring.
But at least, it was something she was familiar with.
It's something she can control.
Is it really a good idea?
A great deal of pain welled up in Qin Huairu's heart again.
She recalled what Lin Fan had just said.
"You are smart and know how to be patient."
"But you use your intelligence on trivial calculations."
"Your forbearance is only to extract more benefits from others."
"You treat He Yuzhu as your own, taking whatever you want from him."
"But I never gave him any real respect or affection."
"You appear kind to your neighbors in the courtyard."
"In reality, they just want to use them to pave the way for their own future."
Every word Lin Fan said was like a knife, piercing her heart.
She always took pride in her "shrewdness" and "calculation".
In Lin Fan's eyes, it was so ugly and so unbearable.
If only memories could be erased and we could go back to the past.
Will she repeat the same mistake?
Will she continue to wallow in that quagmire of scheming and exploitation?
Qin Huairu's eyes welled up with tears again.
She really didn't know what to choose.
Is it to choose an ordinary life that she is unwilling to accept, but which allows her to see the future?
Or should she choose a past she is familiar with, but one filled with scheming and pain?
She looked at the child beside her.
Sticky stem, small stem, locust flower.
They are still so young.
Their lives have just begun.
She wants her children to have a good life; that's her only motivation.
If you choose the first option.
She and her child will be completely cut off from any "fate" with the gods.
They, too, can only rely on their own hard work.
If you choose the second option.
He Yuzhu will turn back into Silly Zhu.
Their family also received financial assistance from He Yuzhu.
The children's lives seem to be a little easier.
but.
That's good, but it's based on continuing to utilize He Yuzhu.
Does she really want her children to grow up in such an environment?
Let them learn to be calculating too.
Learn to utilize it?
Qin Huairu's heart was in turmoil.
She felt like her consciousness was being torn apart.
She looked up at Lin Fan.
That calm face was expressionless.
It was as if all her pain and struggles had nothing to do with him.
Lin Fan did not urge him.
I just watched her quietly.
he knows.
For Qin Huairu, this choice was the most difficult decision she had ever made in her life.
yard.
Everyone who was spying held their breath.
They watched as Qin Huairu struggled in pain.
My heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Aren't they just like Qin Huairu?
Bound by various desires and calculations?
They must have thought about it too.
If you could go back in time and make the same choice again?
Time passed by, second by second.
Five minutes felt like an eternity.
Qin Huairu's face went from pale to flushed, and finally returned to a deathly stillness.
She felt like all her strength had been drained away.
Finally, she took a deep breath.
Using all his strength, he raised his head and looked at Lin Fan.
Her eyes were filled with despair.
It also conveys a sense of resolute determination, like burning one's boats.
"Mr. Lin..." Her voice was hoarse, with traces of crying.
Lin Fan nodded slightly.
He gestured for her to continue.
Qin Huairu kowtowed to the ground again.
Her voice trembled slightly, yet remained remarkably clear: "I...I choose the second path."
She chose to erase her memories.
Go back to the past.
They gave up that tangible but unattainable destiny with the immortals.
She chose the mundane life that she knew well, yet which was full of pain.
Lin Fan's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.
He was not surprised.
I wasn't disappointed.
This is what it means to be an ordinary person.
He simply said, "Are you sure?"
"Once a choice is made, it cannot be changed."
Qin Huairu's body trembled.
But she still gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sure."
Lin Fan's gaze swept over Qin Huairu.
Then his gaze swept over the three children beside her.
"Okay." He only said one word.
Then, he slowly raised his hand.
He did not use any mysterious magic.
No incantation was uttered.
He simply raised his hand.
With a gentle wave.
An invisible wave instantly emanated from Lin Fan.
It's like a gentle breeze brushing against your face.
It gently swept over Qin Huairu and her three children.
Qin Huairu felt a buzzing sound in her head.
It's black in front of you.
She then lost all consciousness.
It wasn't just her.
The entire courtyard house, everyone who was peeping.
Even the entire steel rolling mill.
The entire capital city.
Everyone who has ever crossed paths with Lin Fan and his courtyard house.
At the same time, a "buzz" went through their minds.
An invisible force precisely erased their memories.
All the extraordinary, illogical, and otherworldly details about Lin Fan and his courtyard house.
Those memories about Lin Fan's power.
Those memories of Lin Fan's courtyard turning into a fairyland.
Those memories of Xu Damao being bitten by dogs and being punished.
Those memories of Yan Bugui hitting the wall and He Yuzhu's transformation.
Everything was completely erased.
They only remember.
Lin Fan is an ordinary, somewhat mysterious young man.
His courtyard was just an ordinary courtyard.
He Yuzhu in their memories.
He's still that kind, but somewhat "foolish" cook.
Xu Damao as I remember him.
He was still that selfish, yet eloquent projectionist.
Yan Bugui in my memory.
He was still that calculating, yet somewhat timid, third uncle.
Everything seemed to have returned to the time before Lin Fan moved into the courtyard house.
We went back to that.
Trivial matters, constant bickering.
A typical courtyard house.
Lin Fan withdrew his hand.
He looked indifferently at Qin Huairu and her son kneeling on the ground.
Their expressions had returned to calm.
There was no longer any fear in his eyes.
There is no more despair.
There is only one kind of worry, unique to ordinary people: the worries about daily necessities.
"Alright," Lin Fan said softly.
His voice seemed to carry some kind of invisible power.
Qin Huairu suddenly opened her eyes.
She felt like she had just taken a nap.
She looked around in confusion.
She was still kneeling at the entrance of Lin Fan's courtyard.
The three children beside him were also kneeling.
She looked up at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was still the same.
He stood at the doorway, his expression calm.
Qin Huairu was startled.
How did I end up kneeling here?
She tried hard to recall, but found her mind blank.
All she remembers is...
It seemed that she had come to find Lin Fan and ask him for help.
But she couldn't remember exactly what she was helping with.
She only felt that her knees hurt a little.
My lips are a little chapped.
"Mr. Lin... I... how did I get here?" Qin Huairu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Lin Fan did not answer.
He simply glanced at her calmly.
Then he turned around.
I walked back to the courtyard.
The heavy door creaked open once again.
Slowly close.
Qin Huairu looked at the tightly closed door.
I felt a little lost.
She had no idea what she had just experienced.
She just felt...
It seems I've missed out on something very important.
But she couldn't remember exactly what it was.
She just felt a little empty inside.
She struggled to her feet.
He helped up the three children beside him.
"Let's go home." Her voice sounded tired.
She has three children.
Step by step, I walked home.
Her back view appeared somewhat hunched.
she does not know.
She just gave up an opportunity that could have changed her and her child's fate.
she does not know.
She had just personally severed all ties with "the immortal destiny".
she does not know.
She was just in front of Lin Fan.
She made the most important, and also the most wrong, decision of her life.
And all this.
She will never know.
In the neighboring yard.
Everyone who had been peeping came to their senses.
They were just like Qin Huairu.
I feel like I just took a nap.
They were just like Qin Huairu.
I have no idea what I just went through.
They only remember.
Qin Huairu knelt at Lin Fan's door with her child.
Then, Lin Fan came out.
I spoke a few words with her.
They couldn't remember exactly what they said.
They just felt that...
Lin Fan is still as mysterious as ever.
His courtyard remained as quiet as ever.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
This is how it was at the very beginning.
In Lin Fan's courtyard house.
He lay back down in the rocking chair.
Close your eyes.
he knows.
He has already given Qin Huairu a chance.
Since she chose to return to the mortal world.
Let her continue to struggle in the mundane world.
All he wanted was peace and quiet.
Now, he can finally.
I'm enjoying true peace and quiet.
