Su Xiaolu choked.
Zhou Zhi’s hand gently calmed her down and stroked her back.
“Eat slowly and drink some fruit tea.”
Zhou Zhi looked gentle and worried, afraid that Su Xiaolu would choke again.
Su Xiaolu looked at the residence door and already knew where she was. This was Zhou Zhi’s residence in the capital.
She had come and stayed here many times, but in this dream, nothing here was the same.
The maidservants called her the princess consort. Zhou Zhi cared about her very much. It was not difficult to guess her identity. However, she did not expect that in Zhou Zhi’s dream, she was actually his wife.
Su Xiaolu wanted to know what was going on.
She was still thinking of a way when Zhou Zhi pinched her cheek and said, “Xiaolu, do you remember who I am? Master said that you might lose your memory after being injured this time. You’ve been in a daze for the past few days and don’t seem to recognize me. Today, I saw that you were more awake. I thought that you had recovered, but there is still doubt in your eyes. I could tell at a glance.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi in surprise.
Zhou Zhi sighed and looked at her seriously. “Xiaolu, do you remember who you are? Do you recognize me? Do you remember Father, Mother, and Brother?”
Su Xiaolu looked into Zhou Zhi’s eyes and replied, “I’m Su Xiaolu. You’re Zhou Zhi, my Fourth Brother. I remember Mother and Father too. I also have two brothers. My sister-in-law is Lin Yaoyao, and my second sister-in-law is Sun Baoqian…
What she was puzzled about was why they were getting married.
Zhou Zhi sighed. “You remember yourself and me, but you forgot that we’re already married, right?”
She remembered everyone and everything, but she forgot that they loved each other and got married.
Su Xiaolu nodded. She did not want to hide it. Zhou Zhi had just fallen into an illusion and did not know it. He was not stupid.
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu with disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly recovered. He smiled slightly and said, “It doesn’t matter if you forget. We still have a lot of time. I’ll accompany you to slowly remember. Go to the palace tomorrow and talk to your sister. You can understand our past more. I’m not lying to you.”
Su Xiaolu thought for a moment and nodded. She was in Zhou Zhi’s illusion, but every part of it was so real. If she didn’t know her past, she would probably have fallen into this illusion.
However, Zhou Zhi was already in his sixties. It was impossible for his memories to be tampered with. How could he be immersed in it?
“Xiaolu, what are you thinking? If you have anything to ask me, I’ll tell you. You don’t remember, but I still remember.”
He remembered all the details.
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi and saw the gentle love in his eyes. She said, “Then tell me. I feel a little confused because my memories are a little different.
Tell me first before I tell you.”
Zhou Zhi smiled slightly and talked about their past.
He and Zhou Heng were both born to the empress and had a deep brotherhood. Zhou Heng was made the Crown Prince when he was born and he learned martial arts.
Su Xiaolu’s family had suffered a lot. Su Chong and Su Hua, a top scorer and a martial arts top scorer, came to the capital. Zhou Heng and Su Hua hit it off and became close friends, so they slowly got to know each other.
Zhou Heng fell in love with Su Xiaoling and married her after suppressing the criticism.
Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu were martial arts friends. Su Xiaolu liked to roam the martial world. Because of his work, the two of them often accompanied each other and got married after expressing their feelings for each other.
According to Zhou Zhi, he had never experienced being abandoned by his biological mother. His legs had never been crippled. The empress, Wei Ling, was a kind and gentle mother.
Su Xiaoling and Zhou Heng only received some pressure from the courtiers, but with Su Hua, Liu Zijin, and Su Chong, Chu Jin, and him helping him, the generals of the Zhou Dynasty were all capable. Zhou Heng had ascended the throne this year and had nothing to worry about.
She and Zhou Zhi had also been married for three years, but both of them were not in good health. It was not easy for the two of them to be together. They had cast aside their secular desires and their souls were attached to each other. Zhou Zhi could not have sex, but she did not mind.
The reason why she lost her memory was because she had blocked an arrow for Zhou Zhi this year. The arrow was poisonous, so her body was seriously injured and she was very weak. She did not wake up often every day and only woke up completely today. It was reasonable for her to lose her memory. This was what her Master had personally said.
And after this injury, her body was weak and she couldn’t withstand skin contact, but the two of them couldn’t do it in the first place, so it didn’t matter.
The Su family’s past had not changed much. Apart from Zhou Heng, her childhood experience had not changed.
After Su Xiaolu finished listening to him, the sky had already turned dark. Zhou Zhi saw that she was in a daze and waved his hand for the servants to serve the food.
During dinner, Su Xiaolu was quiet. She frowned from time to time. This illusion was extraordinary. After Zhou Zhi fell into it, many things automatically became perfected.
Realizing this, Su Xiaolu felt that it was very difficult.
After dinner, they washed up and went to bed together.
Perhaps because he knew that she had lost her memory, Zhou Zhi restrained himself. He did not do anything intimate to Su Xiaolu, but he would not sleep separately from her.
“Xiaolu, you just said that your memory is a little different. Can you tell me?”
Zhou Zhi asked. He was sad that Su Xiaolu had lost her memory, but he remembered that Master had said before that this was normal, so he only felt disappointed for a moment before pulling himself together. They were husband and wife. They were very in love before and would fall in love again.
Su Xiaolu turned to look at Zhou Zhi and said, “Fourth Brother, my memory is very different from yours, but everyone is in it too. Here, I’m 21 years old this year, right? But in my memory, I’m 60 years old this year. The story is very, very long. Let’s start from the beginning.”
Zhou Zhi nodded. “Alright, take your time. I’m listening.” He also looked at Su Xiaolu with gentleness in his eyes.
Su Xiaolu recalled when she was young and talked slowly.
Zhou Zhi frowned when he heard this. There was a huge difference, but he did not interrupt Su Xiaolu. Instead, he listened quietly.
After hearing this, he said, “So you’re saying that your story is the real world? Are we in an illusion now?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Yes.”
She looked at Zhou Zhi, whose expression did not change. He smiled faintly and said, “Xiaolu, why isn’t your world fake? That’s just a dream you had in the chaos after you were injured.”
Zhou Zhi stood up and took off his clothes. He let Su Xiaolu see his injuries and then let her touch her heart.
“Xiaolu, look. Your injuries are real.”
Zhou Zhi was very calm. He felt that Su Xiaolu had fallen into chaos. What she was talking about was an illusion..
