Chapter 504: Sadness

Translator: Lonelytree

I tilted my head and gave her a fake smile. Then, I took the broccoli out of the plate.

Mrs. Ma Ji said, “Nanxing, broccoli is very nutritious.”

I picked up a piece of lettuce with my chopsticks. As I ate, I mumbled, “I know, but I don’t like it.”

Mrs. Ma Ji advised me, “Even if you don’t like it, you should eat more. Don’t be picky.”

Before I could say anything, my uncle said, “Let her be. If she doesn’t like it, then so be it. What’s the big deal? There is other nutritious food!”

I nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Ma Ji said, “If you pamper her like this, she’ll become a more picky eater in the future.”

My uncle waved his hand. “So what? It’s not like she can’t afford it.”

Mrs. Ma Ji had no choice but to give up. That was the truth of our lives.

Uncle pampered me without any principles. He would give me the moon if I wanted it. Mrs. Ma Ji wanted to discipline me, but she didn’t have the right to do so.

Banxia was a little fool. She was there to eat and nothing else. She was so carefree that people envied her.

“Nanxing, we’re moving in two days.” My uncle looked at me calmly.

My hand that was holding the chopsticks stopped for a moment. “Move? Why?”

All my memories were on this island.

I couldn’t remember where I was before this. I was the one who guided them to come to this island. I remembered I was on a very large cruise ship. And I was pointing the route on a nautical map. I knew my home was once on this island.

My parents were a pair of wonderful lovers. They liked this island, so they built houses and hid items on this island.

However, my memory was fragmented. It was too hard for me to remember anything.

My uncle got sick once we got on the island. Therefore, we had to stay on the island. Life was peaceful. My uncle was healed now, but I didn’t want to leave. I didn’t want to leave because this was my parent’s home. Even though I couldn’t remember anything about them, staying here made me feel closer to them. This place felt like home.

My uncle sighed, “We have other homes other than the ones on the sea. You’ve grown up. You should meet other people. Maybe that will jog your memory.”

I fell silent.

Is that really okay? The reason sounds so far-fetched. I felt like they were using my amnesia to lead me along.

Mrs. Ma Ji saw how silent I was and said, “Your uncle wants to find you a boyfriend. If we stay on this island, the people you know are either the sons of hunters or pirates. They’re all useless! Nanxing, they are not suitable for you.”

Mrs. Ma Ji’s words brought a light to my uncle’s eyes. “That’s right! A girl shouldn’t be cooped up here. Then again, with our Nanxing’s qualities, no one is good enough for her.” My uncle was elated. “That’s settled then. We’ll set off in the next few days. There’s no need to bring anything. We’ll be back soon anyway.”

I shut my mouth. My words didn’t matter. I didn’t want to make unnecessary arguments.

After I was full, I stood up and bowed to my uncle. “I’m done eating. Enjoy your meal! I’ll leave you to decide where to go.”

I pulled back the chair and wanted to leave. This topic made my heart ache. I had a strong urge to cry.

I didn’t know why I was so sad.. They wanted me to find a boyfriend. How could a person who had no memory fall in love with someone?
