  Chapter 187: Choosing to Forget

  Qī Sī Yǔ was crying uncontrollably beside him, repeatedly saying: "Yè Zhǎn don't scare me, that thing wasn't his fault..." Zhōu Mò was frantically saying beside him: "What's going on with Yè Zhǎn? Let's first put him in my car and I'll send him to the hospital..." Then he reached out to support Yè Zhǎn, but I suddenly pushed his hand away and shouted at him: "Don't touch him!"

  Zhou Mo was startled and took two steps back, standing there in a daze. Xia Xue paid for the meal and the dishes, then came over to say, "The ambulance will arrive soon." Then she rushed to the intersection to look out for it, afraid that the ambulance wouldn't be able to find the place.

  Ye Zhan's body was still shaking all over, his teeth chattering non-stop, his face deathly pale like paper.

  "Light rain......light rain......" Ye Zhan squeezed out the words from between his teeth.

  "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Ye Zhan stuttered as Qi Siyu hastily grasped his hand.

  "It's not your fault, it's not your fault!" Qi Siyu wailed, tears streaming down her face.

  "Don't touch me, don't touch me!" Ye Zhan's eyes widened again, frantically waving his hands: "Don't come over, don't come over!"

  "Okay, okay, I won't touch him, I won't go over there either." She took two steps back, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Ye Zhan. Xia Xue rushed over and shouted, "The ambulance is here!" The ambulance sped over with its blue lights flashing, and several medical personnel got out of the car. I yelled to them, "Over here! Over here!"

  Ye Zhan's body was shaking like a sieve, his two eyes were empty and dull, and he was panting heavily in his throat. The doctor squatted down to examine him, but Ye Zhan was very uncooperative, still flailing his arms wildly. The doctor asked me, "What happened?" I said, "It seems like he's been stimulated." The doctor ordered the medical staff behind him to bring over a sedative and gave Ye Zhan an injection, only then did he gradually calm down.

  "Let's send him to the hospital for a check-up." The doctor waved his hand, and the medical staff lifted Ye Zhan onto a stretcher and put him into the ambulance. Only one person could accompany him in the ambulance, so I got on. Xia Xue and Qi Siyu sat in Zhou Mo's car.

  We arrived at the hospital, and the doctor asked me about the detailed situation at that time. Then, he took Ye Zhan for a series of tests, including CT scans and other technical terms. After finishing, they arranged a ward for Ye Zhan and gave him a sedative injection. Ye Zhan fell asleep, and the doctor said he would go to handle some formalities and come back later to discuss the specific situation. So, only a few of us were left in the ward. Qi Siyu was afraid of disturbing Ye Zhan's rest and was holding back tears. Zhou Mo stood on one side without speaking, and I didn't know what she was thinking. I kept staring blankly at Ye Zhan, worried that something would happen to him. Xia Xue stood beside me, gently took my hand, and gave me some strength. I think Xia Xue was right; I'm like Conan, wherever I go, there's trouble.

  I shouldn't have organized such a lousy dinner party, and I definitely shouldn't have let Ye Zhan receive such a shock.

  "What's going on with him?" Zhou Mo suddenly asked.

  "Isn't this just perfect?" I sneered: "**and Jing's double blow, done."

  "Wang Hao, what's going on?" Zhou Mo suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Ye Zhan has already done that thing, and Liu Mei was hurt even more? Can't I even say anything? Who knew he would react like this!"

  "Eldest sister, don't say anything more." Qi Siyu couldn't help but shed tears again: "Ye Zhan has become like this..."

  Zhou Mo fell silent after hearing that. I sighed and said, "Actually, Ye Zhan has always been like this. Zhou Mo, last time I wasn't lying, Ye Zhan really did forget about that matter. As long as any tiny fragment enters his mind, he'll become like this again. But deep down, he knows he's wronged Qi Siyu, so he transferred to Bei Qi in hopes of resolving the issue and making up for his guilt."

  "It's all my fault..." Qī Sīyǔ said tearfully: "That matter gave Yè Zhǎn too great a shock, I didn't think it would end up like this."

  "Are you crazy?" Zhou Mo suddenly pressed down on Qi Siyu's shoulder: "How could that thing be his fault, was it his fault for having an abortion? Was it his fault for deserting her and abandoning her when she was in the most pain?"

  Zi Siyu stopped talking, her mouth twitching, but tears continued to fall down.

  "Wang Hao!" Zhou Mo suddenly said, "I don't want to see Ye Zhan become like this either, but we have to talk some sense. From what I just said, do you think Ye Zhan did the right thing? Do you think the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes shouldn't be giving him trouble? After all that Ye Zhan has done, Sixth Sister still loves him foolishly, hoping he'll come back, but he's so heartless, not even a little reaction, can one sentence 'forget it' just erase everything in the past?"

  I looked at Ye Zhan's peacefully sleeping face and said resolutely, "From my understanding of Ye Zhan, he wouldn't do something like this. Unless he tells me himself, I won't believe it." In my impression, Ye Zhan is a brave and honest man who dares to take responsibility for his actions, so how could he be the kind of person that Zhou Mo described as "running away with his tail between his legs when Qi Siyu had an abortion for him"?

  "Don't be blinded by brotherly loyalty!" Zhou Mo said angrily: "Sixth sister is right here, you can ask her if it's true! Would she lie? Would she frame Ye Zhan on purpose? She herself said that Ye Zhan had already forgotten about the whole thing, how could he possibly tell what happened at the time?"

  "Eldest sister, don't mention it..." Qi Siyu's mouth twitched: "I don't want to talk about that time anymore."

  I sighed: "Zhou Mo, you've known Ye Zhan for a long time, haven't you? Before that incident happened, what kind of person did you think he was?" Zhou Mo fell silent for a moment before saying: "We all liked him."

  "So, whether this matter is true or false, there must be more to it." I suddenly looked at Qi Siyu.

  Qī Sīyǔ hastily lowered her head. Zhōu Mò said angrily, "What's wrong with my sixth sister? She's the victim, isn't she? Even if Yè Zhǎn lost his memory, his subconscious knows it's his fault, can't that explain things?"

  "Zi Si Yu." I didn't care about Zhou Mo, but asked: "Why did Ye Zhan flee in a hurry at that time?"

  "I...I don't know." Qī Sī Yǔ's tears flowed again, shaking her head non-stop: "Don't ask me..."

  I stood up and walked towards her, saying relentlessly: "Answer me, why did he run away in a hurry?"

  "That's enough, Wang Hao!" Zhou Mo suddenly pushed me and said resentfully: "Let a girl recall the most painful thing in her life, don't you think it's too much?" Xia Xue also said: "Forget it, Wang Hao, don't ask anymore."

  I looked at Qi Siyu's trembling and fearful appearance, and my heart ached, but I still said: "For Qi Siyu, it is the most painful memory. For Ye Zhan, isn't it also? Otherwise, he wouldn't be suffering like this now."

  I turned around and looked at Ye Zhan, who was sleeping peacefully, like a pitiful child. I said: "I pity Qi Siyu, but I also pity Ye Zhan. I believe that Ye Zhan did such a thing, there must be some bitter reason behind it. Since this matter is the secret of the two of them, neither of them wants to mention it again, why do we still want to force them so relentlessly? Why can't we just let them solve it naturally and let this matter pass as soon as possible? Repeatedly bringing it up will only increase the pain of those involved. We onlookers are the ones who keep stabbing with a knife and uncovering scars."

  Zhou Mo fell silent after hearing my words, as if he had sunk into deep contemplation.

  Qī Sī Yǔ walked to the side of Yè Zhǎn's bed and sat down, holding his hand with interlocking fingers, and then pressed his hand against her own face, gently stroking it. "Yè Zhǎn... let's just forget about that thing, okay? From now on, neither of us will mention it again..." Qī Sī Yǔ sobbed softly: "Can't we start over? Go back to the happy and beautiful times at the beginning... It's been so long since you last smiled at me, why do you always look so cold and distant? Why do you frown every time you see me?"

  Zi Siyu's voice grew smaller and smaller until it became a faint whisper that no one could make out what she was saying.

  Zhou Mo let out a long, long sigh.

  "Let's talk to those who are as fierce as dragons and phoenixes." I said, "If they still won't let Ye Zhan go, then direct everything at me. Ye Zhan can't take such stimulation anymore. Consider it...I'm begging you."

  "Hmm." Zhou Mo responded softly.

  The ward was very quiet, with only Qi Siyu whispering softly. Qi Siyu gently stroked Ye Zhan's face, probably the only time she could get so close to him. Xia Xue asked me softly, "Should we inform Su Wan?" I looked at Qi Siyu and felt a pang of sadness in my heart, but ultimately shook my head, not wanting things to become even more complicated.

  The door of the ward was pushed open, and the doctor from before walked in, still holding a CT scan. Myself and Zhou Mo hurried over to surround him, but the doctor waved his hand at us, indicating for us to wait a moment. Then he walked over to Ye Zhan's bedside, pried open his eyelids, took a look, and said: "There's no major problem, after infusing this bottle of water, he should wake up."

  "What's going on?"

  The doctor looked at the film in his hand again and said, "His brain has no damage, but according to the situation you provided, looking at some of his clinical reactions, he should be suffering from a kind of 'selective amnesia'."

  "Selective amnesia?" I'm not unfamiliar with this term, often seen in books, but don't fully understand it either.

  "Yes, it's called selective amnesia." The doctor said: "To put it simply, it's actually a defense mechanism of the human brain. When someone encounters a strong stimulus and this stimulus is unacceptable to them, their subconscious mind wants to forget about it, resulting in selective amnesia."
