Chapter 249: Chapter 191: Fu Tingzhou Has a Mental Illness

Four years ago, when he was discharged from the hospital, he asked Xu Ze.

Xu Ze said that he happened to see the dog by the roadside and felt pity, so he brought it home.

Fu Tingzhou didn’t believe it because he knew he was not such a good person and did not possess much sympathy.

However, this little thing, tiny as it was, liked to cling to his trousers, looking pitiful and whimperingly, so Fu Tingzhou did not throw Zhouzhou out.

But he held utter contempt for Zhouzhou’s name.

What kind of name is Zhouzhou?

Ugly!

But he was too lazy to change it.

He kept it until now, and Zhouzhou has grown a bit, but is still a small dog. Every day when Fu Tingzhou returns from work, Zhouzhou is always the first to greet him.

Way more enthusiastic than his own son.

His son wouldn’t even bother to get off the sofa, half-heartedly wagging his tail as if to say ’you’re back huh’.

Fu Tingzhou entered the bedroom, changed out of his suit, and put on home clothes.

He put on an apron, prepared dog food for the two dogs, then wore the apron again and started preparing tonight’s dinner.

The fridge was full, today Guan Yue had just come and stocked his fridge with food.

But Fu Tingzhou looked around and took out a tomato and two eggs.

He first fried the eggs, served them, then started to fry the tomatoes.

For some reason, at this moment, an image of a woman’s back flashed in his mind, she was saying, ’Add a pinch of salt when frying tomatoes, it makes them softer and tastier.’

Fu Tingzhou was stunned.

The hand holding the spatula trembled slightly.

Who are you?

He asked his own heart.

Why, in these four years, he had dreamed of this woman several times.

But he could never clearly see the woman’s face.

There seemed to be a glow around her.

Vague and indistinct.

Her facial features unclear, all blurry.

Fu Tingzhou looked at the air in front of him, his hand over his chest, asked hoarsely, "Who are you, what is your name?"

Four years ago, he had severe memory issues.

It seemed he had forgotten many things, Grandfather said he had been seriously ill, so there were problems with his memory.

Fu Tingzhou also asked the doctor, who said that amnesia was temporary, with good rest, recovery would eventually happen.

But it has been four years and he couldn’t remember anything about that woman.

He tried using his living environment to find traces of that woman.

But it was all in vain.

He asked his assistant and friends, everyone kept their mouths shut, saying he had amnesia and a mental disorder, that the so-called woman did not exist, and was just a figure constructed by his brain.

Fu Tingzhou closed his eyes.

The sound of the range hood’s gentle buzzing vibration echoed in his ears.

But just now, he distinctly heard that woman say, ’Add a pinch of salt when frying tomatoes’

And those succulents on the balcony.

A small dirt dog that appeared in his home.

All these justify that the woman really existed.

Thus, Fu Tingzhou also faced mental illness and severe depression.

He could hardly sleep, relying on sleeping pills to doze off.

And often woke from these dreams.

His headaches were frequent, causing great distress.

Fu Tingzhou didn’t know why he didn’t return to the villa to live, but instead stayed here, in a small apartment.

Whenever he went back to the villa or stayed at the Fu Family residence, looking at the large empty rooms always made him particularly uncomfortable. Returning to Qingfeng Garden, however, made him feel much more at peace.

After dinner, Fu Tingzhou went to the study to work.

After finishing the files on the computer, and having a video meeting, it was already very late.

He took a bath, swallowed two sleeping pills and lay down.

Under the influence of the sleeping pills, Fu Tingzhou began to drift off slowly.

In his dreams, he saw that woman.

They were by the sea, she kept walking forward, the sea water covering her knees.

Around her neck, the woman wore a scarf.

In the sea breeze, the scarf fluttered slowly like a stroke of oil paint.

Exceptionally dazzling.

"Hey—" Fu Tingzhou shouted at her, but did not know her name.

"Don’t keep walking forward, it’s dangerous!!" Fu Tingzhou yelled, took a few steps to reach her, and tried to grab her hand to pull her back.

In that instant, he grasped the woman’s hand.

Her fingers were ice cold.

It startled him harshly, "What...what is your name."

She struggled free from him and walked toward the deeper parts of the sea.

Fu Tingzhou’s pupils constricted. Without hesitating, he immediately followed; the seawater slowly enveloped him, and he lost the ability to breathe. Yet, his gaze remained locked on her retreating figure.

Who on earth are you?

It’s been four years, who are you?

At that moment, the sensation of suffocation.

Fu Tingzhou suddenly woke up, sitting up and gasping for breath.

The man’s forehead was covered in sweat.

He checked the time, it was around three in the morning.

The effect of the sleeping pill had worn off.

Fu Tingzhou leaned against the headboard, slowly closed his eyes.

His chest heaved due to emotional agitation.

Fu Tingzhou raised his hand, rubbing his brow.

This was not the first time he had dreamed of her in his sleep.

It was not the first time he had dreamed of her standing in the sea, engulfed by the waters.

It was also not the first time that he, in pursuit of her, ran into the depths of the sea, drowned in his dreams then woke up in reality.

But still, he could not see her face.

Nor did he know her name.

But Fu Tingzhou knew that she must truly exist.

And that she wasn’t just a figment of his imagination.

And the people around him, the reason they are tight-lipped about this woman’s existence, must also have a reason.

Fu Tingzhou picked up his phone, glanced at the memo; it showed that he was scheduled to visit North Island in Qichuan City next week to kick off an investment tourism project.

This partnership is the most important right now.

In recent years, the Fu Family and Shu Family had intense rivalries in North City.

Originally, the two dominant families fought openly and covertly, neither giving way to the other.

Both suffered losses.

But neither bowed down.

The collaboration with North Island was also a move to suppress the Shu Family.

Securing this tourism project would greatly benefit the Fu Family.

Therefore, Fu Tingzhou planned to personally visit North Island.

He took out a sleeping pill from the drawer and swallowed it, trying to go back to sleep, but it was extremely difficult.

Long-term lack of sleep had caused slight mental problems, often resulting in unbearable headaches.

He had consulted many doctors, all to no avail.

An old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor said that he had inner demons, heart illness is difficult to cure.

Fu Tingzhou thought, it must be because of that woman.

What exactly happened four years ago?

Why did he forget, and only forgot everything about that woman?

-

On Sunday morning, Tang Xi invited Wen Ruomian to the amusement park with Tangtang.

Seeing her daughter having fun, Tang Xi also smiled, "Baby, Mommy will have to work overtime next week, we’ll go out again the week after next, shall we go to the zoo then?"

Tangtang clapped her hands, "Okay!"

"I really envy you, having such a lovely and sensible daughter like Tangtang," Wen Ruomian said, hastily taking photos with her phone.

"But your daughter, although beautiful, doesn’t quite resemble your eyes."

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, looking at Tangtang.

Indeed, Tangtang looked very much like Fu Tingzhou.

Especially the eyes and nose.

Too similar...

Thinking of Fu Tingzhou coming to North Island made her head hurt, she had been hiding for four years, yet still could not escape the overwhelming influence of this man.
