Just then a thought popped into her head!
"You are really starting to fall for me, aren't you, it hasn't even been six months since we met each other..."
"Wait...why do you dislike me so much but you like my cousin?"
"You are really starting to fall for me, aren't you, it hasn't even been six months since we met each other..." the thought came into her head again.
"What you should do is find out why and not run away from it and obviously, you don't have to be suspect that I have feelings for you or something, I know you have a boyfriend who according to Jia Yu you are deeply in love with, I don't waste my time on such things so fret not,"
She raised her head to look at her reflection again then she shook her head frantically, trying to brush the thoughts away from her mind, she balled her fist on the sink tightly, she was still trying to battle the horrendous thoughts in her mind.
"Why exactly am I thinking about him?" she straightened her back and cupped her face in her hand, even the darkness couldn't stop her from thinking about those lines, he was invading her mind and her thought and she didn't like it, she feels horrible knowing that she cannot stop these thoughts.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" she screamed, it just felt wrong to her, everything about him feels wrong, the only man she should be feeling that way towards is Chen Kai and no one else, dropping to the ground, she sat on the floor with her back resting against the glass door separating the shower and the other parts of the bathroom.
The thoughts disappeared!
She stood up and removed her bathrobe and the scrunchy holding her hair before entering into the shower cubicle, she didn't even bother to wear her shower cap to protect her hair, putting on the shower in full pressure, she ran her hand from her face into her hair, down to the back of her neck, sleeking down her wavy hair.

"That....that feels familiar...."
"Why did you save me?" a feminine figure whose face she couldn't see clearly asked, but she seemed to be wearing a school uniform that resembles her high school uniform.
"I guess I just wanted to be the hero who saves the damsel...." another voice answered
------
She cleans the cut on his neck with her handkerchief and blows on it...
"That scar, where did you get it?"
"Do you remember this scar?" he asked with his eyes narrowed at her
--------
"That's right, he didn't seem like he was joking, his face seemed very serious at that moment when he asked me if I remember the scar," Yu Yan said softly, she fluttered her lashes, trying to comprehend what happened at that moment, she had the feeling that she has seen that scar when it was just a fresh cut and those brief flashes felt too familiar for her to just ignore.
She balled her fist and placed them on the wall while the water kept running, she closed her eyes, trying to remember those flashes again, she has never given up when she feels confused by something, she always tries to find the solution to the problems and this time isn't an exemption, she tried picturing that moment again, the scar, the fresh cut....and the teenagers in the flashes, she could feel a deep sense of familiarity with the girl.
"I am sure I have never seen that scene before, could it be that it is part of the memory I lost in high school," she opened her eyes and put off the shower, she came out of the bathroom in her bathrobe and a towel wrapped on her hair
After drying her hair, she changed into her mickey house nightwear and a mickey mouse headband on her hair, she was about to lie on the bed when she remembered that she hasn't seen her parents and her brother since she entered the house, she sighed and walked out of her room.
Walking into the parlour, she saw the twins watching DDU show on the television, with a large popcorn bucket in between the sofa, she smiled seeing how lovely they look even though they just quarrelled minutes ago, watching them immediately dispelled her troubles.
She sneakily walked behind them, standing behind them, she wrapped her arms around the neck and snuggled their heads with her, they were startled but they chuckled recognising that she is the one from her scent.
"My lovely niece and nephew," she ruffled their heads and walked to their front, she picked up the popcorn bucket from the chair and slumped into their middle with the popcorn bucket on her lap.
"Didn't I tell you both to go into your rooms?" She queried, scooping a handful of popcorn into her hand and stuffing it into her mouth.
"We know you didn't mean it," Li Na and Li Jing replied in unison then they scooped the popcorn from the bucket and stuffed it into their mouth.
Yu Yan: "..."
"Do you think we don't know when you are actually angry or just stressed?" Li Na questioned with her eyes still fixed on the TV, they didn't need to look at her face to know that she was taken aback by their reply.
"Aunt, you are underestimating us, even though we haven't seen each other for some years now, we still remember everything about you," Li Jing added, hearing her reply with the popcorn still stuffed in her mouth, she felt emotional hearing their answer, she didn't know that her niece and nephew were so attached to her.
"guys...." she sniffed her nose and attempted to hug both of them but they quickly pushed her hands down and shifted away from her.
"Don't get emotional now," Li Na said with a cautioning look on her face, scooping more popcorn from the bucket on her laps, then Yu Yan remembered the main reason why she came out of her room again.
"Where did everyone go?" She asked, chewing more popcorn.
"Dad has gone back to Yunnan and grandpa escorted him but grandma is sleeping in her room," Li Na answered
"that explains why I haven't seen her since I entered, wait...does that mean that my brother is going to live alone in that large house if both of you are staying here?"
"No, he is going to Canada with mum for a business trip and they will be staying there for a long time so we are going to find a school nearby to go to and dad said you are in charge of that," Li Jing answered with an excited look on his face, while Yu Yan looked like she was dissatisfied with his answer.
"Why should I be in charge of you two?" Yu Yan asked, looking at them.
"Then who else should be in charge?" the both of them chorused in unison again to her annoyance.
"Can you both stop saying the same thing at the same time, it is really starting to creep me out," Yu Yan complained.
"No," they replied again in unison, she scrunched her lips and glared at the both of them, then she stood up from the sofa and walked back to her room in a feigned angry manner while the twins laughed at their success in teasing her.

He retired to his luxurious bedroom as soon as he arrived at him without even bothering to remove his shoes, The entire room was painted gold including all the furniture and accessories in the room, his extra large king size bed and the large gold coloured headboard sculptured in the shape of petals made the room look even more magnificent with a golden coloured and thick duvet spread on the bed neatly, a large multi-tier crystal chandelier with droplets of light bulbs on it hung in the centre of the ceiling and one third of the floor was covered in a red fluffy carpet,, anyone placing their feet on the ground can feel the softness of the carpet making them feel like they are stepping on cotton candy, on the wall behind his bed, there is a yellowish gold mural of the back view of a girl wearing an oversized hoodie with the inscription Han Yu on the back of the hoodie, the girl's hair is tied into a messy bun but even her back view is enough to entice anyone looking at the golden mural on the wall.
He walked over to the balcony of the bedroom, as soon as he got to the gold curtain, the curtain opened automatically, revealing a breathtaking view that he has already gotten used to, a double-layered kidney-shaped 55 ft swimming pool centred in the middle of shallow green grasses with marble tiles surrounding the swimming pool and rays of rainbow coloured lights emitting from the fountain centred in the swimming pool into the swimming pool, including an underground music system. Outside the pool, there are blue beach chairs with fancy beach tables and umbrellas on top of them with flower pots and shrubs surrounding the outer area of the swimming pool.
Looking outside the balcony, he remembered his loneliness, when his parents were still alive, every part of the mansion showed that it is home to a happy family but now, the mansion seemed more like a luxurious hotel to him and not a home.
If not for the maids who always came in to clean the compound during his absence, the condition of the house would have been really bad but he never gave them access to clean inside the mansion, he had dispersed them from the mansion from the day he joined the military and only allowed a few of them to keep working there.
He decided to call back some of the workers, especially his old nanny, maybe living with them will make the mansion look more homely, he looked around for the last time then he walked out of the balcony with the curtain closing behind him, soon, he changed into his bathrobe and walked towards the bathroom.
He walked into the room outside the bathroom then he took out a wine from the one holders in the room and picked a glass cup with it, he turned the bottle of wine around to make sure he had picked the right thing...'1947 Chateau Cheval Blanc'.
"My favourite..." he mumbled to himself with a faint smile
Entering inside the bathroom, the lights automatically turned on and it started changing into a different colour, as soon a the colour changed to light blue, he flicked his hand then they sensor stopped, leaving the bathroom with blue coloured lighting. He undressed after entered into the bathtub and poured himself a glass of wine.
Dipping himself into the soapy and foamy bath, he felt all the muscles in his body relaxed, he gently sipped the wine and placed it on the glass winery holder next to the bathtub, he relaxed his head on the headboard, cushioned with a fairly soft pillow.
His thoughts returned to that moment...
- - -
"That scar, where did you get it?"
- -
"You keep crossing my boundaries and surprisingly, I keep letting you off and that is something I don't normally do unless I have a good reason to but with you, I don't have any reason, so, therefore, I need to distance myself from you"
- -
"If I tell you what you want to hear, what difference does it make, after all, I am not as close as Jia Yu is to you or...or your boyfriend so would my advice really make a difference to you?"
"It would, it would make a difference...."
-----
"Did she remember something, why would she ask me about the scar if she didn't?" He questioned rhetorically, he is confused, if she remembered the scar for even one second then it might give him the hope of being able to be with her again, as long as he can help regain her memories...the memories of their love, he slowly brought the edge of the glass to his lips and gently sipped the wine.
"Yu Yan, you don't know how happy I am to make a difference to you or to be an anomaly in your life....but I want to be more than that," He said softly as though she is in front of him or listening to him.
All of a sudden, he found himself being curious of who her boyfriend is, other than the fact that she loves someone other than him he has never really paid much attention to her supposed boyfriend, he decided that he is going to make use of his connections once again to find out more about her boyfriend, at least he needs to know how capable his competitor is but he knows that if Yu Yan chose him then he is surely someone worth being his competitor even though it might not be in the area of wealth and influence, knowing that Yu Yan doesn't care about those things.
He picked up the glass cup and poured the remaining content down his throat, after soaking himself in the bath for about twenty minutes, he put on his robe again and walked to the large mirror, occupying one sure of the entire wall surrounding the bathroom.
He pulled out the band holding his hair and ruffled his slightly curled hair in front of the mirror, his hair wasn't very long but it is at least almost reaching his jaw when he lets it down, he placed his hands on his waist and took in a deep breath.
"Alright! Han Chen, from tomorrow, your mission is getting back the love of your life," He told himself with a charming curve on his lips, then he retreated back to his extra-large king-size bed for a deep nap, but he couldn't help thinking that there is something he is forgetting.

"It would, it would make a difference...." ----- "Did she remember something, why would she ask me about the scar if she didn't?" He questioned rhetorically, he is confused, if she remembered the scar for even one second then it might give him the hope of being able to be with her again, as long as he can help regain her memories...the memories of their love, he slowly brought the edge of the glass to his lips and gently sipped the wine. "Yu Yan, you don't know how happy I am to make a difference to you or to be an anomaly in your life....but I want to be more than that," He said softly as though she is in front of him or listening to him. All of a sudden, he found himself being curious of who her boyfriend is, other than the fact that she loves someone other than him he has never really paid much attention to her supposed boyfriend, he decided that he is going to make use of his connections once again to find out more about her boyfriend, at least he needs to know how capable his competitor is but he knows that if Yu Yan chose him then he is surely someone worth being his competitor even though it might not be in the area of wealth and influence, knowing that Yu Yan doesn't care about those things. He picked up the glass cup and poured the remaining content down his throat, after soaking himself in the bath for about twenty minutes, he put on his robe again and walked to the large mirror, occupying one sure of the entire wall surrounding the bathroom. He pulled out the band holding his hair and ruffled his slightly curled hair in front of the mirror, his hair wasn't very long but it is at least almost reaching his jaw when he lets it down, he placed his hands on his waist and took in a deep breath. "Alright! Han Chen, from tomorrow, your mission is getting back the love of your life," He told himself with a charming curve on his lips, then he retreated back to his extra-large king-size bed for a deep nap, but he couldn't help thinking that there is something he is forgetting.
