During this time when Zhan was hospitalized, Zhou Lusi would see him every day and talk to him.

Zhan felt more and more conflicted.

He felt something’s not right about how he got along with Lusi and his feelings about her, but he couldn’t say exactly what was wrong.

Every day, he hypnotized himself that it was because of the car accident that he was like this.

He spent more and more time alone and dazed.

The memories of the past were so vivid, but the face of the person beside him was always blurred.

He tried to make an effort to see the person’s face clearly, but he couldn’t see it every time. Whenever he remembered it, his head would ache vaguely.

His heart too.

“Zhan, Zhan?” Lusi called him a few times, and he didn’t respond.

She was a little impatient, but still maintained a gentle smile and reached out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, which managed to attract his attention.

“What’s wrong?” Zhan asked as he looked at her.

“No, it’s just that I saw that you have been dazed all the time and ignored me…” Lusi said.

“Sorry,” Zhan smiled, “I was thinking about what happened before.”

Lusi was nervous, but she had to pretend to be surprised, “Really? Did you think of something?”

“No.” Zhan shook his head. “The faces of the people around me are always blurred… Is that person you? I think it’s you.”

“Of course it’s me, otherwise who else would it be?” Lusi tried to hold down the panic in her heart and laughed, “What’s wrong with you, am I that blurry in your mind?”

“No…” Zhan smiled helplessly, “Maybe you can tell me about our previous experiences?”

“Previous experiences?” Lusi was stunned for a long time before smiling, “All of the experiences are in the past now…”

“It is because it is the past that I want to know more.” Zhan said, “What, have you forgotten it too? Did you do something wrong to me in the past?”

“What are you talking about? How could I do something wrong to you?” Lusi snorted, “Fine, I’ll tell you about the past.”

Lusi pursed her lips.

She had to replicate some of the stories of her suitors, and then processed them herself so that the so-called “previous events” could exist.

“I used to be a very arrogant person, and it was because of you that I changed a lot.”

“You used to be a cold and quiet person, but I didn’t expect you to be so different after you fell in love with me.”

From personalities to some trivial things, Lusi spoke as if all those things had really existed. In the end, even she herself almost believed it.

After saying that, she realized that she had gone too far and quickly covered her mouth and looked towards Zhan.

However, she found that Zhan was in deep thought.

“Zhan? What are you thinking about?” Lusi asked with some uneasiness, “Do you remember anything?”

Zhan shook his head, “Although I didn’t remember anything and the story you told seems to be the first time that I heard about it, but it’s quite interesting. I didn’t expect that so many things happened between us.”

“Yeah, hahaha…” Lusi laughed, “Actually, there are some I can’t remember very well myself…”

“I’m sorry, Lusi.” Zhan suddenly said.

“Sorry? Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?” Lusi asked.

“You have remembered so clearly, but I don’t remember anything.” Zhan frowned.

“It’s okay… you are like this because you were injured in a car accident. “Lusi comforted, “Next time don’t drive in such a hurry. Fortunately, the injury is not serious….”

“I won’t let you get worried in the future.” Zhan said, “I will definitely protect myself well and also protect you well.”

“Okay.” Lusi looked the other way, “There are still a few days before you can be discharged from the hospital, right?”

“Yes.” Zhan said, “I’m going to get moldy lying in the hospital all day.”

“Are we going to go on a trip after you get well?” Lusi asked.

“Yes, I’ll do whatever you want,” Zhan said.

When Lusi saw Zhan’s question-answering and obedient appearance, she was even more pleased.

If he had met her first, then there would have been nothing to do with Yibo, and it would have been her that he fell in love with.

Lusi was not guilty at all, and she thought to herself that she was doing it for the Xiao Family’s sake.

Lusi looked at Zhan’s gentle eyes, and could not help but reach out to hold his hands.

But she felt that his hand stiffened up.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?” Lusi asked.

Zhan’s body relaxed, and he shook his head and smiled, “No, nothing.”

Zhan hide the discomfort he felt inside and forced himself to relax.

Lusi coughed and was about to withdraw her hand when she heard a cheerful laugh from the doorway, “Looks like I came at a bad time.”

Both of them looked towards the door and saw Jianmin standing at the door with a smile.

Lusi immediately blushed, put her hand back, stood up straight and said, “Mr Jianmin.”

Jianmin nodded, “How is Zhan doing?”

“The doctor said there are still a few days left before he can be discharged from the hospital,” Lusi said.

“Good, good.” Jianmin nodded, “Zhan, are you willing to get engaged to Lusi?”

As soon as Jianmin said that, both of them were stunned and quickly looked at each other.

“What? You both don’t want to?” Jianmin looked at the silence of the two and raised his eyebrows.

Lusi didn’t say anything but just looked nervously at Zhan.

Lusi thought to herself that Zhan wouldn’t object….

After all, she’s now his Lusi!!

“… no, I’m willing, father.” Zhan looked at Lusi’s nervous eyes and lowered his eyes and said.

The nervousness in Lusi’s eyes immediately disappeared, and she also looked up at Jianmin. “Mr Jianmin, I, I am also willing.”

“In that case, then I will handle the engagement matters, I want to hold the engagement wedding on the day after Zhan is discharged from the hospital. How about it?” Jianmin nodded his head in satisfaction.

“It’s all up to father to decide.” Zhan said.

“I don’t have a problem with it if Zhan doesn’t have a problem with it.” Lusi shyly said.

“Good,” Jianmin laughed, “Lusi, you should take good care of yourself in these few days, don’t neglect yourself when you are taking care of Zhan. At the engagement party, you have to look beautiful.”

“Don’t worry uncle,” Lusi said, the joy under her eyes could not be hidden.

Perhaps even she didn’t realize that her feelings for Zhan seemed to be deeper and deeper.

“It’s raining, Seungyoun.” Yibo stood by the window, looking at the rain pouring down outside, his heart was a bit stuffy.

“Well, don’t you like it?” Seungyoun asked.

“It’s gloomy. I don’t like it.” Yibo shook his head.

Seungyoun sighed and walked over to pull up the curtains, “Then don’t look at it, come over. A rainy day is good for resting. It’s very comfortable to sleep.”

Yibo said, “Sleeping all day makes me feel like I’m getting weaker…”

Seungyoun helplessly said, “But now it’s raining outside, and we have no way to go out.”

Yibo lowered his eyes, “Then I’d better sleep.”

Seungyoun looked at Yibo’s lifeless appearance and pursed his lips, “Yibo, I know you have something on your mind.”

Yibo’s eyes crossed a glimmer of light, and quickly annihilated.

Yibo lifted the quilt and got into bed, “Nope.”

“You have something on your mind.” Seungyoun helped him tuck in the blanket, “Still thinking about Zhan?”

Yibo paused and laughed after a short while, “How could it be? I’ve almost forgotten about him.”

“Yibo, you know clearly that lying is useless to me.” Seungyoun said, “I understand that you think about him… I hope you forget him as soon as possible. I am also doing it for your good, can you understand what I mean?”

“I know.” Yibo lowered his eyes, “What I said is also true, I’m really close to forgetting him…”

Yibo said that for Seungyoun and also as a reminder to himself.

Seungyoun no longer said anything, knowing that he could not force him, so he said, “Get some sleep, I will guard you.”

Yibo obediently closed his eyes.

Hearing Seungyoun settled in the chair beside him, followed by the sound of him turning the pages of a book, Yibo reassured himself and allowed himself to relax his body.

Sleepiness came on at once.

It seemed like Seungyoun was right, it was raining, and it was indeed good for sleeping.

Yibo was about to forget about Zhan, and he wasn’t lying to himself.

Zhan had a new life. His family would be happy and prosperous, and his career would also be flourishing.

That would be enough.

I wondered even if he would hate me, he would not forget me, right?

As long as he didn’t forget me, and if he remembered me in a little corner of his heart, I’m satisfied.

Yibo closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

When Seungyoun looked at Yibo’s defenceless sleeping face, he felt complicated.

He knew that it was impossible for Yibo to forget Zhan so quickly, but he still hoped that Yibo could stop thinking about Zhan.

He hoped that Yibo could forget a little day by day. It was fine by him if it was like that, he was not greedy.

Yibo was by his side, so he had plenty of time to wait for him to forget about Zhan and wait for Yibo to fall in love with him.

It was still raining unrestrainedly.

Seungyoun looked at the sky, and the tip of his nose seemed to smell the taste of rainy days.

It was a beautiful weather, but unfortunately, Yibo didn’t like it.

---

Zhan left the hospital.

His head was completely shaved in order to do surgery.

The wound had healed by now, and a short stubby layer of hair had regrown.

This made his facial features stand out more and made him look even more masculine.

Looking at his appearance, Lusi started to blush.

Xiao Zhan was… quite handsome…

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Staring back at her, he couldn’t help but laugh, “You like my look?”

“No, no way!” Lusi said in a hurry.

“Then why are you staring and blushing like that?” Zhan said as he raised an eyebrow.

“I, I’m not talking to you anymore; see you tomorrow!” Lusi anxiously stomped, “the car is here to pick you up.”

“Do you want me to send you back?” Zhan asked.

“No need, I’ll walk back,” Lusi slightly waved.

“Stay safe on the way back,” Zhan said.

As he watched her presence become farther and farther away, Zhan’s smile started to fade.

So tired…

Why did he feel so tired before her?

It’s as though he was constantly putting on an act…

He didn’t feel like his smile was sincere, but he still had to put on a smile; even he didn’t know what the matter was with him.

“Master, I’m sorry, I’m late!” Zhan’s servant got out of the car in a hurry.

“No matter, let’s get going.” Zhan said and got ready to get in the car.

“Master, are… are you alright?” Zhan’s servant asked.

“I’m fine; I’m out of the hospital now, am I not?” Zhan smiled.

The servant did not know that Zhan had lost his memory, so it was strange to him why Zhan was on such good terms with Lusi.

“Master, Mr Yibo …” The servant hesitated at first, but reluctantly asked.

“Mr Yibo? I don’t know any Mr Yibo.” Zhan looked at his servant with a puzzled look. “What’s the matter with you today?”

Don’t know Mr Yibo? How was that possible?

Didn’t he already tell Master everything? What happened?

His servant suddenly felt a cold sweat all over.

Was there some kind of misinformation in his report? Or did… the Master really just give up?

“Let’s go.” Zhan said and got into the car.

The servant recollected his thoughts and got in the car.

No matter; it’s not in his place to meddle in the master’s business.

It’s a pity about Mr Yibo, but he served Master, not Mr Yibo.

---

Yibo felt weak ever since he woke up this morning.

He wanted to get up, but he realized that he couldn’t budge at all.

He started to panic; he tried hard to move his hand and reach the service button.

What was going on?

Seungyoun wasn’t around either…

Yibo looked on at the button right next to him, but alas, he couldn’t reach it.

He became so anxious that he was about to cry.

He began to feel more and more distraught inside.

Suddenly, he started to come to and regain consciousness!

But what immediately followed was an overwhelming sense of pain.

With a huff, Yibo curled into a ball.

Cold sweat covered all over him.

Was the poison starting to spread?

He never felt such intense pain before! Was he… really going to die this time?

Yibo gritted his teeth, and the pain forced him to shut his eyes.

***

During this time.

Today was the day of Xiao Zhan and Zhou Lusi’s wedding ceremony.

Jianmin woke Zhan up early in the morning; a small crowd ushered Zhan along to get ready and dressed.

“Dad, I’m a grown man…. Is all this really necessary?” Zhan said in a sleepy manner.

“Your stay at the hospital these days has made you lazy! Today’s the big day of your wedding, of course we must take these extra measures!”

Jianmin continued to bark orders, “You there, hurry and tend to your tasks! Hurry and help the young master get ready!”

The small crowd tensed up and went about their tasks.

Zhan pouted and said nothing, allowing the small crowd to get him dressed do his hair.

Jianmin looked on a Zhan’s obedient behavior with satisfaction, and the wrinkles next to his eyes became even thicker.

He had anticipated this day for too long!

Surely even god took pity on all his hard work, and helped him to get everything proceeding without a hitch.

Why else would Zhan just so happen to lose all his memories of Yibo, and mistook Lusi for Yibo?

A huge grin appeared on Jianmin’s face, and he left to tend to other matters.

---

Over at the Zhou family.

Lusi sat before her dressing table, as the stylist behind her silently tended to her hair.

She wore a pure white dress, and looked as elegant as a white swan.

Lusi’s mother came over, took a good look at her, and nodded in satisfaction, “Lusi, you’re about to get married; I almost can’t bear it…”

“Mom, what are you saying? I’m not even married yet!” Lusi joked with a smile, “Besides, even after I get married, I will come visit you often!”

“But it’s not the same,” Lusi’s mother shook her head and said, “No matter, daughters are bound to get married sooner or later… Tell me the truth, do you really love that Xiao Zhan? You’re not doing this for the family, are you?”

Lusi blinked, then her face began to slowly turn red, “I like him.”
