Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2349: Chapter 2343: He Just Finds Her Familiar

The two sisters worked together to prepare a table full of dishes and then waited for the four men to come for dinner. This meal turned out quite sumptuous, as they had made everything they could. However, they used up most of the ingredients provided; if the men wanted to cook afterward, they’d have to buy everything anew.

"Chu Molin, where are the principal and the others?" Qin Xue went to the living room after fixing the meal, only to find Chu Molin sitting alone, with no sign of the other three men.

"Upstairs," Chu Molin gestured upward. He hadn’t asked what they were doing there, nor did he follow them. People have their privacy; anything that could be said openly would be shared in front of him. Since the others went upstairs to avoid him, it meant the matter wasn’t meant for him to know, so he stayed downstairs.

"What do we do now?" Qin Xue pointed to the dishes on the table.

"Let’s wait a bit. If they don’t come down soon, then we’ll go up and call them," Chu Molin replied. There was nothing else they could do; they had to wait.

"Where’s Gong Wuyou?" Qin Xue thought the principal and others might not be around, but surely Gong Wuyou should be.

"He got a phone call and said he had something urgent to attend to, so he rushed out. He hasn’t returned yet," Chu Molin recalled Gong Wuyou leaving hastily after receiving a call, despite his attempts to call him back.

"Alright, we’ll just have to wait," Qin Xue decided, sitting with her sister to wait for them.

"Gong Wuyou, you’re back. Did something happen?" Qin Xue asked as Gong Wuyou entered.

"Nothing much. I thought Qing Teng had arrived, so I went out to check, but it turns out I was mistaken," Gong Wuyou explained the reason for his hurried departure.

"Are you fond of Qing Teng?" Qin Xue looked at Gong Wuyou. He seemed flustered seeing someone like her; one could only imagine how he’d react in her actual presence.

For Qing Teng, she used to like An Xiaofeng, but now with Gong Wuyou in the picture, it remains unclear how things will unfold between them.

"It’s not about fondness; it’s the sense of familiarity. I’ve been curious about where that feeling comes from and wanted to ask her," Gong Wuyou felt he must have seen Qing Teng somewhere before but couldn’t recall when. This feeling had been eating at him, leaving him restless for answers.

"Don’t you recall mentioning something like this back in Zhongzhai? Hasn’t it come back to you after all these years?" Even Chu Molin couldn’t figure it out. He thought with Gong Wuyou’s sharp mind, it shouldn’t be such a mystery.

"No, it hasn’t," Gong Wuyou shook his head. Had he remembered, it wouldn’t have troubled him for so long. Some things are truly hard to let go, like this matter involving Qing Teng; unless he resolves it, he won’t find peace.

"Could it be a misunderstanding? If you’d met her before, you should recognize her. The fact that you don’t have any recollection suggests you might not have known her," Chu Molin reckoned if Gong Wuyou’s memory was as precise as it seemed, he would remember. Yet, with no hint of recognition, it seemed unlikely they had met before.

"I really don’t know. I just have this feeling urging me to get to the bottom of it, or I’ll regret it," Gong Wuyou’s inner feeling drove him to unravel the mystery. But Qing Teng never disclosed anything despite his inquiries, and he was clueless about where to start, knowing not even her real name. Qing Teng didn’t appear as simple as she seemed, and that’s where his trouble lay.
