Chapter 1737: Chapter 1737: Queuing to Feel Bones
Jian Dan felt countless pairs of eyes simultaneously staring at her the moment she spoke.
Before she could react, she saw the people who had been sitting on the sofa now standing in a line right in front of her.
"What are you all doing...?"
"What do you mean ’what’? Get a move on!" Xi Rui, at the front of the line, directly took Jian Dan’s hands and placed them on his face.
"What for?"
"What do you mean ’what for’? Go on, touch my face, and you might remember me!" Xi Rui said, even closing his eyes, waiting for Jian Dan to feel his features.
Feeling awkward, Jian Dan looked at Xi Rui half-squatting before her and the people standing behind him.
Could she say she was only joking earlier?
She was in a bind!
What could Jian Dan do with things as they were now?
For a long time afterward, Jian Dan found herself in face-touching mode.
She had almost touched half of them when someone suddenly cut in line.
"Uncle, weren’t you going to work? How come..."
"There are more important things than work at hand, come..." Chu Liyuan gently lifted Jian Dan’s hand, placing it on his face.
"Uncle, you..." Jian Dan’s hands rested on Chu Liyuan’s face, looking at the serious expression on his face, feeling her heart race uncontrollably.
Wasn’t Uncle’s skin too good for his age? Did heaven forget about him, so he’s only aged in years?
Faced with this charming appearance, Jian Dan, a sucker for good looks, found it hard to resist, feeling her heart skip a beat.
She swallowed hard, gently tracing Chu Liyuan’s face, admiring the handsome forehead, thick eyebrows, deep eyes, curved eyelashes, high nose, exquisite lips, and sharply defined features—truly enticing!
Feeling like her heart was about to leap out of her chest, Jian Dan withdrew her hand from Chu Liyuan’s face, averting her gaze, breathing trying to calm her emotions.
"Jian Jian, have you remembered something?" Chu Liyuan opened his eyes, noticing Jian Dan’s avoidance and her flushed cheeks, curling his lips into a smile as he pulled Jian Dan into his arms.
She raised her eyes to meet those deep eyes.
While touching Chu Liyuan’s face, Jian Dan felt a strange familiarity, like she had touched this face countless times before.
"No!" Jian Dan forcefully pushed Chu Liyuan away, "I’m tired, I want to rest for a while." Saying this, she ran upstairs with her head down.
Back in her room, she shut the door and leaned against it, breathing heavily, feeling the air not quite sufficient.
Not knowing how long had passed when Jian Dan slowly opened her eyes, how could she have fallen asleep unnoticed?
She had been dreaming the whole time she slept, though she couldn’t remember the dream well, except holding someone’s hand running happily, trying hard to see the person’s face but never could.
She knocked the temples with Zhang Gen, got up, went to the bathroom to wash her face, looking at herself in the mirror.
Staring at this familiar yet unfamiliar self, what had she forgotten?
Thinking so, her head began to ache again.
Shaking her head, she decided to fill her stomach before pondering further.
Leaving the room, she glanced downstairs, stunned by the scene; in the morning, she felt many people had arrived, but now, from this angle, it seemed just like dumplings were being stuffed into the place; the entire living room was packed full of people.
