Chapter 1773: Filled With A Desire For Answers

Feeling pain in his heart, he knelt down on the floor and took her into his embrace to comfort her. She didn’t do anything to resist, just staying quiet and letting him comfort her however he wanted.
After that, he brought her up to sit on the sofa. She was very obedient and didn’t say a word.
“You haven’t washed your face yet, right?”
He realized her hair was very messy so he helped her tidy it up.
“Let’s go. I will help you wash up.”
Huo Yunshen helped her up and led her back to the bedroom. No matter what he did, she no longer looked timid and she no longer rejected his kindness towards her.
Her eyes looked like they were filled with a desire for answers all the time. When he turned around, she would sneak a glance at his back.
If… if she was really Jing Xi… then, he would be her most beloved husband!
Could this hypothesis hold water?
She hoped she could remember something more. However, the harder she tried to remember, the harder it was for her to think of anything.
She even started to suspect that the things that emerged just now were all just her imagination.
Did she suffer from a delusional disorder?
Jing Xi finished washing up under his care. He then also brought her to the dining hall to eat.
While they were eating, he asked, “Why were you crying just now?”
“I’m sorry.” She shook her head and wasn’t willing to say more.
It was only after the meal that Jing Xi mediated her own feelings. She asked him, “Your majesty, what do you have planned for today?”
“I don’t have anything special arranged. We will stay at home and watch movies,” Huo Yunshen said.
Jing Xi was a bit astonished. This man had clearly said he was going abroad for work. Now that he was abroad, he actually just stayed in one place to watch movies?
He actually wanted to watch movies that Jing Xi had acted in with her. He wanted to make her get familiar with the version of herself on the screen.
Huo Yunshen played a movie that he and Jing Xi had acted in together, Deep in the Shadows of the Stars.
This movie showed every detail of how Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi had met each other, how they got to know each other, and how they loved each other.
Jing Xi looked at the woman on the screen. She was radiating with beauty. She and his majesty the king were really an ideal couple. Many people would be extremely jealous.
The story in the movie made her feel very familiar. The scene where he planted the flowers and had a conversation seemed to be the same as the one that had passed through her mind just now.
The more she understood, the more afraid she felt.
The more she confronted it, the more her heart trembled.
As for who she was, whether she was Jing Xi…these scary cognitions kept on assaulting her mind.
She unconsciously touched her ruined face. It seemed she could no longer go back to how she had looked.
With such ugly looks, even she would dislike herself.
She thought about the man beside her, and also all of her friends. If they saw their friend from the past turn into something that looked neither like a human nor a ghost, would they also feel scared and disappointed?
If she really was Jing Xi, would she still have the courage to live in this world?
Once they finished watching the movie, Huo Yunshen asked her gently, “Jing Xiaoxi, do you have any thoughts after watching this movie?”
Did she have any thoughts?
Could she tell him what she thought?
She didn’t tell any of her real thoughts at all. Instead, she forced out a smile. “You guys acted really well in the past and you guys looked like you loved each other very much. It really makes people jealous.”
“Is there… anything more?”
“Nothing.” Jing Xi shook her head, lowering her gaze as an invisible sadness flashed in her eyes.
Huo Yunshen pinched her shoulder and said, “Nevermind. We will keep on watching other movies, since Jing Xi also acted in others, too.”
