Chapter 1012 Have we met before?
Behind her, Madam Qiao's composed demeanor crumbled instantly, and tears streamed down her face.
Mr. Qiao was also heartbroken. He turned to look at A-Yi and A-Yong and ordered in a deep voice, "Stay close to him."
Ayi and Ayong nodded in agreement and immediately followed their master out.
All Mr. and Mrs. Joe could do was prepare their private jet, equip it with medical equipment and accompanying medical personnel, and send their son there safely.
This time, their son is going to pursue his happiness, and all they can do is support him and pray for him.
......
Meanwhile, Su Yutang and her group had already returned to the capital.
In the garden of the Su family manor, two little ones, Xiao Ayan and Xiao Tangguo, were sitting side by side on small stools, surrounded by toys, but their little faces were listless and without smiles.
Mommy and her brothers have been gone for several days, and they miss them terribly; they've even lost their appetite.
So when they saw Su Yutang and her four little ones appear before them, looking travel-worn, the two little ones' eyes lit up instantly.
Little Candy let out a "Wow!" and rushed into her mother's arms with her short legs, rubbing her little head against her neck and calling out "Mommy" in her sweet, childish voice.
Although little Ayan was a bit shy, he couldn't help but get closer and happily hugged his mother.
After hugging their mother, Little Candy and Little Ayan couldn't wait to drag their four older brothers to play in the garden.
The little ones hadn't seen each other for a few days and had so much to talk about.
Su Yutang stood aside, watching them play with a smile.
Suddenly, a broad chest pressed against her from behind, and a pair of strong arms naturally wrapped around her waist, pulling her into their embrace.
Su Yutang was taken aback at first, but then her whole body relaxed, and she even leaned back, comfortably resting in the arms of the person who came.
She didn't need to turn around; she knew who it was.
His scent was so familiar, and besides, in this Su family manor, he was the only one who dared to hug her so directly.
Bo Jingzhou's deep, slightly displeased voice came from behind him. He frowned slightly: "You didn't even turn around to ask who I am? Aren't you worried it might be someone else?"
Su Yutang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who else could it be but you?"
This remark successfully pleased Bo Jingzhou.
He tightened his arms, holding her even closer in his embrace, as they watched together the little ones playing happily in the distance.
As his gaze swept over his youngest daughter, who was giggling from being amused by Erbao, Bo Jingzhou suddenly remembered something and whispered in Su Yutang's ear, "Yutang, do you think... we've met before?"
Su Yutang blinked, suddenly hearing his nonsensical words, and felt a little confused. She turned her head slightly to look at him: "What are you talking about?"
Bo Jingzhou reminded her, "Think about it carefully again when you were very young..."
Su Yutang's heart stirred slightly, but she feigned confusion and followed his words, asking, "How small?"
Bo Jingzhou thought about it carefully before saying, "Probably... when you were only Yan Yan's age now, you might have been a little older than her."
Su Yutang blinked her innocent eyes and continued to play dumb: "Really? I don't remember at all."
Bo Jingzhou couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, saying with a hint of smugness, "I knew you wouldn't remember, but I remember everything clearly."
He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to her ear, and said in a deep voice, "I saw you when you were a child, in the hospital, by a pool with a fountain. You offered me candy, and I didn't want it, but you insisted on giving it to me."
Su Yutang immediately retorted, "What? I would never just give candy to a little boy I don't know. Bo Jingzhou, you haven't mistaken a girl for someone else, have you?"
"I can't be mistaken!"
Bo Jingzhou said with certainty, "That little girl is you. She looks exactly like our daughter Yan Yan."
He had never connected the two things before, but recently, looking at his daughter's increasingly delicate face with her curved eyebrows and eyes, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
In a sudden moment, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, he remembered a vague memory that had been buried in a corner of his mind.
To confirm this, he even found photos of Su Yutang when she was a child. Comparing the two photos, he became even more certain.
He really did meet Su Yutang when he was a child!
Unfortunately, that brief encounter made it impossible for him to remember the little girl's face for a very long time afterward.
All he remembers is that when he discovered he couldn't remember other people's faces, his parents took him to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor confirmed his "strange" illness, diagnosing him with prosopagnosia (face blindness).
At the time, his parents were also very upset. How could the heir to the prestigious Bo Group be face-blind? So they had to keep this a secret and not let anyone know.
After hearing his parents' private grumbling, he sat alone by the fountain, feeling dejected, staring blankly at the water.
Just then, a little girl dressed in a pretty dress, as cute as a doll, skipped over, clutching a colorful candy in her hand.
She tilted her rosy little face up, like a little angel, and playfully tempted him in her childish voice: "Big brother, come down, and I'll give you candy."
He was in a bad mood at the time and awkwardly refused.
When the little girl saw that he didn't want it, she didn't leave. Instead, she pouted her little mouth as if she had made a big decision and pushed the candy forward a little further: "Fine, I'll give it to you even if you don't come down."
She must have misunderstood, thinking that I was going to do something drastic.
Looking at the little girl's pure, bright eyes and curved eyebrows, he hesitated for a moment.
As if possessed, he finally reached out and took the candy.
At that time, because he was face-blind and had no friends, he had no idea how to get along with such an enthusiastic girl, and he didn't even know how to give her a smile of thanks.
He guessed that his expressionless, perhaps even stiff, demeanor must have frightened her.
Sure enough, a hint of displeasure appeared on the little girl's cute face. She put her hands on her hips and scolded him in a childish voice, "I gave you candy, why didn't you thank me?"
Only then did he belatedly realize what was happening, and awkwardly said, "...Thank you."
But he was annoyed at the time, angry with himself, and couldn't help but say, "But I won't remember you tomorrow."
He wanted to remember the little girl with the bright smile who gave him candy, but he knew that with this damned illness, after today, he would never remember what she looked like again.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Yutang was not disappointed at all. Instead, she smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, big brother. I will remember you."
These days, Bo Jingzhou has been repeatedly reliving that childhood memory.
If it weren't for spending so much time with Xiaotangguo and seeing her adorable face, which looked almost exactly like Su Yutang's when she was little, he probably would never have been able to connect that past with Su Yutang in his entire life.
