CH 57

Chapter 57

Lu Bai slowly opened his eyes, his nose was filled with the smell of hospital disinfectant, a snow-white ceiling appeared in front of his eyes, and the anxious face of a pretty girl drew his attention.

“Brother, you finally woke up!” After many days of worry and anxiety, Lu Guanguan’s face finally revealed a smile, while her eyes were a little red.

Lu Bai looked at the face of the girl in front of him, making him somehow feel affectionate towards her, and was stunned, but finally was unable to resist asking, “Who are you?” This phrase was asked in a soft voice, as if afraid of shocking the girl, and asked, “Are you my younger sister?”

Lu Guanguan’s eyes widened in surprise.

At this moment, the door clattered a bit, and Ming Yan entered with light footsteps. She looked a bit tired, but she was still holding steady, and after closing the door, she turned around and saw her son, who had already woken up and half-sat up, and was astonished. Her body trembled suddenly, and then she quickly moved to the side of the bed, where she cupped Lu Bai’s pale face. Tears rolled down from her eyes, and she said: “Xiao Bai, you’ve scared your mother to death. “

She then gracefully wiped the tears from her face, flashing a small smile, “Look at me, what am I doing talking like this?” She gently hugged her son: “It is good that you are awake, that’s what matters.”

Although Lu Bai did not recognize the woman, he instinctively felt that the woman and the girl called Lu Guanguan were similarly dear. He could feel the woman’s heartache and sadness, and gently patted the woman’s back, “…Mom? Don’t worry, I’m fine now. I- I just seem to have forgotten a few things.”

Ming Yan inhaled sharply, Lu Guanguan then exclaimed, “Auntie, brother, he…seems to have forgotten about us. But don’t worry, the doctor will be here soon, and brother will be fine.” After a beat, she added, “Mom, dad, and grandpa are already on their way over now that they know that brother has woken up, and second uncle will be coming over later as well.”

When Elder Lu learned that his favorite grandson had an accident and almost passed, Father Lu and Sheng Mei rushed home to appease him yesterday. Although they had the best doctors and nurses to take care of their son, the Lu family was still uneasy, so they took turns going to the hospital to monitor Lu Bai.

“Yes, I’ll be fine.” Sensing the woman’s intense worry for a moment, and even though his mind was still eerily empty, Lu Bai instinctively and gently smoothed the woman’s back and said reassuringly.

“You and your family members don’t need to worry.” As Father Lu was his boss, when the doctor reported on Lu Bai’s condition he showed his respect, “Young master didn’t injure any vitals. He’s only temporarily experiencing some memory loss due to the concussion and some other stimuli. Provided that he has the appropriate care, he can quickly recover.” He added after a pause, “Please rest assured, the concussion is also on the mild side, there won’t be any lingering effects. The young master’s vital points were guarded at the time. While the cut on the young master’s forehead looks shocking, he’ll be able to bounce back soon after some proper recuperation.”

It was reported that this young master had encountered a low-magnitude earthquake in Yunzhou, which had toppled his wooden cottage, and buried their young master underneath it. Fortunately, it was constructed with lighter wood, and there was another person who shielded his vitals when the accident happened, so he was only slightly injured.

Only after this did the Lu family breathe a sigh of relief, and Ming Yan was quick to ask the doctor, “What’s the method for my son to regain his memory?”

The doctor smiled and said, “Try to find familiar people and places to stimulate him, don’t worry, he should be able to recover soon. Except for the concussion, his temporary amnesia might have been caused by external stimulation. But for that, you can only ask the young master when his memory recovers.”

Ming Yan slowly relaxed her heart and nodded. She stroked her son’s soft curly hair, lost in thought, and softly said, “Good.”

When Lu Zhi rushed to the hospital, Lu Bai was sitting on his hospital bed, nibbling on an apple, and Sheng Mei was sitting next to him, quietly talking to him, as if to not intimidate him. Lu Guanguan and Ming Yan had been staying with Lu Bai all night and had gone to rest, and Grandpa Lu had also just returned home. Lu Zhi looked at his big brother who was standing eight feet away from the child for fear of scaring him and twitched his mouth.

“Auntie,” Lu Bai nibbled on an apple, and glanced at Father Lu, who was quite far away from him, and asked, “Is he really my Dad? Does he hate me?” Despite saying this, there was no tone of worry in his words. For some reason, although his mind felt empty, he wasn’t at all anxious or scared. He had easily accepted that they were his family members and had given them his trust.

Sheng Mei’s eyebrows twitched as she said, “Of course he doesn’t.” Father Lu coughed at her words and stepped forward to peel an orange and shoved it into the teenager’s hands. Deliberately softening his movements, he patted his son’s shoulder, “Don’t think nonsense. Focus on getting better.”

Lu Bai’s heart unconsciously surged with a burst of warmth, he bent his eyebrows, “Oh.”

“Xiao Bai, is there anything you want to want to play?” Sheng Mei said, “I’ll find someone to buy it and bring it for you.” A young kid would get bored while staying in the hospital.

Lu Bai blinked and was about to say something when suddenly, a flicker of something crossed his heart. But it was so fast that he couldn’t catch it, so he frowned slightly and said, “Auntie, I have a feeling that… I think I made a promise with someone to do something but I’ve forgotten it…” Pausing, he looked at Sheng Mei and asked: “Auntie, besides you guys, who else should I remember but have forgotten?”

Sheng Mei was surprised and raised her eyes to look at Father Lu. Lu Zhi twitched his mouth and said, “Just say it. The doctor said that being in a familiar environment can stimulate Bai Bai to recover his memories.”

Father Lu was not sure where to start. He sighed softly, then nodded- even if Xiao Bai didn’t ask, he would have to tell him sooner or later. After all, that was the person Xiao Bai loved. How could he bear to see his child forgetting about his beloved? What’s more, in that moment, that young man did not forget to protect Xiao Bai.

After receiving his big brother’s permission, Lu Zhi then flashed a toothy smile at the teenager on the bed and said, “Xiao Bai, do you still remember Qu Xueyu?”

Hearing this name, Lu Bai’s forehead throbbed sharply, and his heart swelled almost uncontrollably with indecipherable emotions, but his eyes blinked with bewilderment. He was unable to grasp or recognize those emotions, so he simply stated, “I don’t remember.”

Lu Zhi then shrugged and sighed, “He’s your boyfriend, you guys used to be so mushy that my teeth fell out.” After a pause, he quietly huffed and said, “Remember him quickly, Xiao Bai.” Because only Qu Xueyu was able to genuinely bring such an animated and happy smile to his nephew’s face.

Lu Bai tilted his head, “I have a boyfriend? What does he look like?”

Lu Zhi smiled and jerked his chin towards Lu Bai, “Just look at your cell phone’s screen and you’ll know.”

Lu Bai hurriedly picked up his cell phone from the nightstand with great interest. When he pressed the power button, the face of a young man came into his eyes. The photo was a little fuzzy, as though it was taken quickly, and the young man in the photo was lying on his side on the sofa sleeping, his face was so beautiful that it resembled the beautiful landscapes of the south of the Yangtze River.

Lu Bai stared at the photo and his throat moved, his eyes lit up, and his heart as if by instinct started pounding. He reached out and touched the face of the young man in the photo, and then raised his head to look at Lu Zhi, his eyes bright as if they were full of stars, and he said, “My boyfriend is really good-looking! Where is he now?”

Lu Zhi awkwardly cleared his throat and then shrugged his shoulders while he tsk’d, “He’s recuperating from his own injuries. You don’t have to worry, Xiao Bai, Second Uncle will arrange for you to meet him later.”

When Lu Bai heard that he couldn’t see the person immediately, although he was a little disappointed, he still nodded his head obediently and said, “Alright…”

~~~~~

In the hospital corridor.

Father Lu frowned at his own brother, snapping; “Say it, what happened to that child from the Qu family?” The two kids were brought back to Jinghai for treatment, and although their injuries were not severe, they both suffered head injuries. It would be a lie to say that they weren’t worried. Lu Bai is the heart of the Lu family, while Qu Xueyu is also Elder Qu’s favorite grandson. After the hospital prevented Qu Xueyu’s two half-siblings who came to see him twice, Elder Qu warned Qu Xueyu’s father. In the end, he was still not at ease, and after obtaining the doctor’s consent, he simply packed up Qu Xueyu and brought him home to recuperate under his own supervision.

Lu Zhi’s lips twitched: “Brother, Qu Xueyu is fine. It is only that he has also developed some memory loss. Just like Xiao Bai, a temporary amnesia due to a concussion.”

Father Lu’s brow furrowed sharply – So, what should he tell his son?

As if he knew what his big brother was thinking, Lu Zhi patted his brother’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, big brother. Elder Qu also treasures his grandson and wants him to recover as soon as possible. He and our old man cleared the air, and made arrangements for Xiao Bai and Qu Xueyu to meet one another first.”

Father Lu’s furrowed brows rose slightly, while still letting go of some of his anxiety.

~~~~~

Bo Yangzhi finally felt relieved as he observed the man with a bandage on his head but whose eyes were bright and shining, he exclaimed, “Eldest Young Master, I finally get to see you. You have scared me to death.”

Qu Xueyu smiled and laughed, asking, “What did Director Zhou say?”

Bo Yangzhi was shocked, but said, “Don’t worry, Director Zhou is waiting for you.” Originally – because of the accident – this movie ran the risk of becoming unfinished. Lu Zhi and his grandfather, however, had injected money into it. With money, everything is fine, and the actors can coordinate their schedules or even make a deal.

After a pause, Bo Yangzhi gave Qu Xueyu a probing look; “You really forgot what happened after you came to Jinghai?”

Qu Xueyu shrugged: “I forgot.” But it’s not a big deal, anyway, the doctor said that he will be able to remember sooner or later.

Bo Yangzhi swallowed then asked: “So, you’ve really forgotten about that kid? The one you loved and cared about so much that you couldn’t wait to carry him around at all times?”

Qu Xueyu raised an eyebrow, “Are you kidding? Is there anyone I would like so much?”

Bo Yangzhi shook his head rather honestly, “No.” This young master is indeed very arrogant – but after a pause, he continued, “But you certainly liked this kid so much that even I felt tired of looking at him.”

Qu Xueyu was about to scoff when Grandpa Qu entered the room on his crutches. He nodded at Bo Yangzhi, then came to Qu Xueyu’s bed, and said in a rather subtle and disdainful tone, “If you don’t believe it, this old man won’t force you to believe it either. I can see that you’re quite spirited as well, so you may as well go on a blind date.”

Qu Xueyu: “???”

Bo Yangzhi twitched the corners of his mouth, “????”

Grandpa Qu then said: “The location of the person’s marriage house is good, it is in the river view villa.” After a pause, he also looked at his grandson and said, “The person is younger than you, even if you have forgotten about others, remember, don’t hurt people. After all, you have also eaten the soft rice of others.”

Qu Xueyu: “…” he huffed and looked at Bo Yangzhi.

Bo Yangzhi’s eyebrows jumped as he said, “I’ll testify that it’s true.” You really have been a human canary.

Elder Qu tapped his cane, “Going or not?”

Qu Xueyu felt that this matter was absurd to the extreme, he wanted to refuse, but his words mysteriously changed direction, as he raised an eyebrow and replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll go.”
