In Love With You The Second Time novel Chapter 2

Jing Yue stared intensely at the woman for a very long time. He had long heard of this strange woman during university, and how she piqued many students' curiosity during her freshman years with the peculiar things that she had done out of the blue. Coincidentally, she had been his junior of three years during his studies there, and he had also encountered her a few times in the university library. Brushing past her in the library had also resulted in him having the impression she wasn't an ordinary woman like the others, but at that time, there had been no reasonable chance for him to get to know her then. Eventually, he graduated from the university in interior design and later crossed paths with her during a conference where she was assisting another player in the architectural world. He learned that she was an assistant to the eccentric architect Jack Shi.

The Architectural and Interior Design Conference went on for about five days. They had first made contact when they were both at the snacks' area of the hall in the hotel where the hosts held the conference. He was holding a cup of cappuccino, and she just had a simple tea. He had introduced herself and observed how her eyes brightened up excitedly as she mentioned how she had heard of him back during her freshman years in university. He possessed a cold demeanour, but he liked how her lips moved and how she fidgeted with strands of her long straight hair as she spoke. At that juncture, Jing Yue was willing to make an exception for her. She would be the only woman who had access to his heart, all because he felt some familiarity with her. Later, when he found her, motionless and covered with blood at the roadside, he had a vision of himself clutching the lifeless body of a woman, obviously someone crucial to him.

"Xin Ran! Why?" he saw himself shout in his memory.

Her lips did not move, and there had been no answer.

He had called her Xin Ran in his memory, and yet, she was Tang Ying Xue!

After that, he had started dreaming about Xin Ran and how he appeared to be acquainted with her and saw how he pushed her away when she confessed her feelings for him, and his heart ached for 'Xin Ran' every time, but yet, he kept rejecting her!

Surprisingly, this woman resembled Xin Ran so closely, and with every feature of hers, even the way she walked, definitely pointed out that she was Xin Ran, and the resemblance had been so uncanny! But the woman was Tang Ying Xue, not Xin Ran!

Why had he called out Xin Ran's name in his memory, and how did the events in his dreams come about? He had even searched every possible resource on the internet on a feasible explanation for this phenomenon, but his efforts were futile. The searches just pointed out to 'Rapid Eye Movement Sleep'. They were highly suggestive that he had only imagined everything in his dreams by re-using images from his memory subconsciously, and this had made sense considering he had seen her in university in the past!

But he had been yearning for her, in a way he had never known before. How could it be that he had known Ying Xue, as Xin Ran, but he had no memories of such a past with her, until the accident?

He cleared his throat and explained, "We were both heading to the conference at the Bayview Hotel."

She shook her head. "I don't remember anything at all. The doctor mentioned I have amnesia."

A frown spread across his charming face. "You don't remember?"

They had shared a conversation about their choices of drinks during their first meeting.
