The conversation had inadvertently shifted to Zhou Nan.

“I met him while dancing at a bar. At that time, he was working hard and, coincidentally, he saved me from a thug, and we quickly got together.”

After falling in love, their relationship had always been close and affectionate.

Lin He mentioned that Zhou Nan used to treat her very well. After they started living together, one night Lin He got hungry, and Zhou Nan had taken a bus for over an hour to buy a bowl of salted fish congee for her from a place she liked.

“Hold on a moment,” Mei Shu interrupted when she heard this. She couldn’t help but speak up. “You’re saying that you were hungry one night, and he spent over two hours going to buy congee for you?”

“Yes,” Lin He asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with that?”

Mei Shu couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. “Two hours, and how did you manage to wait for him to bring the congee back? Moreover, salted fish congee should be pretty common. Why would he go so far to buy it?”

“Because I once said that I liked to eat in that shop.”

Lin He didn’t think there was anything wrong with what happened back then.

Mei Shu was speechless.

Mei Shu took out her phone, opened the map, asked about the location of the house they had rented when they lived together, and showed Lin He the search results. “Look, there’s a place selling this kind of congee not far from where you lived; it takes at most twenty minutes for a round trip.”

“Maybe this restaurant opened later?” Lin He wasn’t sure, but her heart was already in turmoil.

Mei Shu then pulled up the information about the restaurant to show her, confirming that it was an established congee shop that had been in business long before they met.

Lin He still didn’t want to taint their fondest memories with dirty suspicions and hesitated, saying, “Perhaps Zhou Nan didn’t know? After all, Zhou Nan had just come to Lin City back then, so it’s reasonable that he wasn’t familiar with the surroundings.”

Mei Shu had no response to this and set her phone aside, looking at Lin He with a serious expression. “Do you prefer to believe he’s a fool rather than think he concealed something from you back then?”

“What do you mean?” Lin He stared at her blankly.

Mei Shu sighed and suddenly asked something else, “Has his bank card undergone any changes over these years?”

“No, from the time I’ve known him till now, he has always used the same bank card. Why are you asking this?” Lin He had a bad feeling about what Mei Shu might be up to. “Are you planning to investigate him?”

“Yes,” Mei Shu looked at her firmly and said, “Do you still remember his bank card number? I can help you retrieve all the transaction records from all these years.”

Lin He felt a sudden uneasiness. She was hesitant and instinctively wanted to refuse, saying, “Maybe we shouldn’t do that. I… 1 don’t want to know what he did all these years.”

“Do you not want to know, or do you not dare to know?” Mei Shu had no intention of letting her off on this matter.

Lin He’s words implied that she didn’t truly hate Zhou Nan.

This meant that she wouldn’t firmly establish boundaries with Zhou Nan in the future.

Once Lin He turned back, it would be like giving that beast another chance, and she herself would never be able to escape that cage.

Unless she gave up her own life.

Mei Shu had painstakingly guided her to escape the situation, but it wasn’t to see her return and continue making mistakes.

Lin He, under Meishu’s intense gaze, seemed on the verge of breaking down. “It’s not that I’m scared. 1 just don’t want all those beautiful memories from back then to be tainted with deception. He really went to buy congee for me. He spent so much time for me. Doesn’t that prove how much he loved me at the time?”

Mei Shu clenched her fists tightly.

She swore that at this moment, she really wanted to slap Lin He, just to shake some sense into her.

But she restrained that impulse and gritted her teeth. “Do you think that just because you don’t know everything, it means nothing ever happened? If you truly believe that your past relationship was real love, then why are you afraid to investigate?”

“I…” Lin He was momentarily at a loss for words, her hands constantly messing with her hair as she let out a painful sob.

Mei Shu sighed and gently patted her head. “Sister Lin, no matter whether you want to investigate or not, the seed of doubt has already been planted in your heart. If he is truly innocent, then an investigation will clear his name. If he’s lying to you, can you still call it a beautiful memory? Can you say he was once wholeheartedly good to you? It’s just a deceitful lie from a scoundrel.”

The room suddenly filled with the sound of thunder, breaking the heavy atmosphere inside.

Lin He stared out of the window, her memories drifting far away.

She recalled a night after it had just rained. Zhou Nan had been clinging to her, but she was on her period, so she couldn’t get intimate with him. However, she was in pain and wanted some warm rice congee.

Without a word, Zhou Nan had taken an umbrella and left. By the time he returned with the congee, she was already pale from pain.

“Al… alright,” as if making a momentous decision, Lin He clenched her teeth and squeezed out a few words from between her lips.

Just consider it as a confirmation of their once beautiful past..
