In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 196: Does Tuantuan Also Have Memories From a Past Life?

Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Does Tuantuan Also Have Memories From a Past Life?

Tuantuan was originally sitting in the safety seat, and Xu Jinzhi helped to unbuckle the safety belt so that Xie Yanchuan could hold Tuantuan in his arms.

Seeing Xie Yanchuan laying Tuantuan down in his arms with practiced ease, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

She thought to herself that there was still a year until Tuantuan started school, so she’d consider it again next year.

Just as Xu Jinzhi had regained her composure, she noticed that Tuantuan had closed his eyes and snuggled into Xie Yanchuan’s embrace, mumbling dreamily, "Daddy has to stay with Tuantuan forever and ever."

Xie Yanchuan gently patted Tuantuan’s back and promised softly, "Okay."

For some reason, upon hearing these words, Xu Jinzhi suddenly felt an inexplicably odd sensation in her heart.

There was nothing revealing about what Tuantuan said, but she felt there was something off about it.

This wasn’t the first time something had puzzled Xu Jinzhi.

Tuantuan never liked to cry, but when he was just over eight months old, he cried terribly one night, which terrified Xu Jinzhi, especially since such a small child couldn’t speak, so no one knew why he was crying.

She and the nanny checked all the possibilities, but Tuantuan’s crying did not stop. Afraid, she still took him to the hospital.

On the way, she called Xie Yanchuan, who was busy in the lab—it seemed that he was at an important stage of his experiment and could not leave, which was why he had not come home.

But when he learned that Tuantuan was in trouble, he immediately left all his work behind and rushed to the hospital.

At the hospital, even the doctors couldn’t determine why Tuantuan kept crying, but when Xie Yanchuan arrived and held Tuantuan in his arms, everything changed.

That day, Tuantuan learned to call him Daddy, and gradually calmed down with Xie Yanchuan’s soothing.

At that time, she didn’t think much of it.

But later, whenever Tuantuan didn’t see Xie Yanchuan before sleep, he would cry. Fortunately, Tuantuan was growing up little by little.

Occasionally, when Xie Yanchuan was too busy in the lab to come home before Tuantuan’s bedtime, he would call Tuantuan to soothe him.

Xie Yanchuan’s business trips weren’t frequent, but he would still need to talk to Tuantuan every day; otherwise, Tuantuan would become restless.

At first, Xu Jinzhi did not notice anything, but gradually, she began to feel that something was off because Tuantuan wasn’t as anxious when he didn’t see her.

In Tuantuan’s past life, he was also very attached to Xie Yanchuan, but the feeling was different from now.

Xu Jinzhi always had a feeling that Tuantuan had memories from his past life!

Sometimes, she really wanted to ask Tuantuan, but she didn’t know how to start appropriately.

She also vividly remembered the dream she had when she gave birth to Tuantuan; she had always been eager to find out what exactly happened with Xie Yanchuan’s death in the past life.

Regarding Xie Yanchuan’s car accident, Xu Jinzhi was certain it was an accident.

After all, Xie Yanchuan had medical patents in his hand, and considering the positions of the Xie Family and the Xu Family in A City, there were pressures from both Xie Yanchuan and Xu Jinzhi’s sides; the police department simply couldn’t hastily close the case at that time.

Everyone had investigated thoroughly for half a year, inside and out, and in the end, it was confirmed to be just an accident.

What Xie Yanchuan said in the dream, "taking the disaster for you," probably meant just that, literally.

Xie Yanchuan knew he was in danger, so he chose to stand up and die in her place!

The idea seemed somewhat inconceivable, but she had already been reborn, so what wasn’t possible?

In the past two years, Xu Jinzhi hadn’t obtained an answer, but that didn’t mean she had forgotten about the incident.

However, such matters were ones that Xu Jinzhi could only suppress deep within her heart; besides the ghosts and gods, only Xie Yanchuan, the person involved, knew what really happened.

But she had observed him closely, and Xie Yanchuan definitely couldn’t be someone who had been reborn.

"What’s wrong?" Xie Yanchuan, holding Tuantuan who had fallen asleep, took the spare blanket that was set aside and covered Tuantuan with it, then noticed Xu Jinzhi’s grave expression.

Xu Jinzhi snapped back to reality and looked at Xie Yanchuan. After a few seconds of silent contemplation, her voice a bit indistinct, she said, "Nothing much, just thinking about Tuantuan starting school."

"He doesn’t seem to like interacting with other people; should we send him to school earlier to let him get used to it?"

Xu Jinzhi wasn’t just making up an excuse to fob off Xie Yanchuan; she genuinely had that worry, but Tuantuan’s personality was too gloomy.

"Don’t worry, I didn’t like going to kindergarten when I was a kid either," Xie Yanchuan said.

He hadn’t thought too much about it, nor did he see any issue with Tuantuan’s character, because he too preferred being alone as a child.

At first, he also wanted to be with his family, he just didn’t get that chance.

But Tuantuan would get everything he wanted.

Xu Jinzhi was somewhat at a loss for words; after all, in Xie Yanchuan’s eyes, Tuantuan was perfect, with not a single flaw.

Before Xu Jinzhi had time to think clearly about Tuantuan starting school, before she could figure out whether Tuantuan had memories of a past life, and certainly with no time to think about Xie Yanchuan’s car accident in a previous life,

Tuantuan fell ill first.

In early September, there were suddenly two heavy downpours, the kind that come with typhoon warnings.

Xu Jinzhi’s side was alright; she drove to work and directly into the underground parking lot, having avoided getting drenched by the torrential rain.

But Xie Yanchuan’s situation was different; after all, he was at school, the parking area was pre-planned, and after parking, he had to walk a distance with an umbrella. By the time he walked that distance, Xie Yanchuan was already soaked through.

However, it wasn’t Xie Yanchuan who fell ill, but Tuantuan, who hadn’t gone anywhere and was at home.

When Xu Jinzhi received the call, she dropped her work and hurried over; after all, no matter how important work was, it couldn’t be more important than Tuantuan.

Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan almost arrived at the hospital at the same time. When they found their way there, they immediately saw Tuantuan sitting on the bed, getting an IV.

Tuantuan’s little face was already flushed, like an altitude reddening, originally staring blankly, but upon hearing familiar voices, he snapped back to his senses.

"Tuantuan, how are you feeling? Is it uncomfortable?" Xu Jinzhi asked in a fluster.

Yet Tuantuan shook his head, "Mom, I’m not uncomfortable, I just really miss you, and I miss Dad too!"

"It’s okay Tuantuan, Mom is here now, don’t be scared," Xu Jinzhi said.
