It was still a little early, just after dawn, Lin Mu had probably just woken up, so his voice was still hoarse from waking up early in the morning when the call was answered. 

“Zhi Xu, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with Ran Ran?” Lin Ran had not called Lin Mu since he left with Song Zhi Xu. Lin Mu knew that Lin Ran didn’t use his mobile phone often, so he didn’t think anything of it, but once he saw Song Zhi Xu’s call, he subconsciously thought that something was wrong with Lin Ran.

Song Zhi Xu glanced at the door of the ward, still talking into the phone. 

“Nothing, I just want to talk to you about Lin Ran’s past.” Song Zhi Xu did not tell the story of Lin Ran being hospitalized.

He was afraid that Lin Ran’s current situation would not get any better for a while, so talking about it would only make Lin Mu worry.

“Ran Ran’s past?” Lin Mu was silent for a moment, wondering why Song Zhi Xu suddenly asked this, “Is there something wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”

Song Zhi Xu didn’t hide anything, but simply told him the things he had received. 

“We received a box yesterday, it’s what your father left for Lin Ran. Inside was a bank book of 500,000 yuan and a property, as well as some photos of Lin Ran when he was a child.” Song Zhi Xu was silent for a while, and asked the question he had been wondering, “Didn’t he always live abroad?” Lin Mu was silent for a long time before he finally said, 

“No, Lin Ran is my half-brother. He was only taken back to the Lin family by my father when he was three years old and he was raised in the Lin family until he was eight years old before then he was sent out.” Lin Mu’s face turned a little white as he thought of what had happened before and a flash of guilt rose in his heart. 

Song Zhi Xu was a little surprised, in that case, the person Xiao Shilan had seen at that time in the Lin family was Lin Ran.

But if he had been sent away when he was eight years old, why didn’t Lin Ran remember?  

“Lin Mu, I asked Lin Ran about all this but he said that he didn’t remember.” Song Zhi Xu asked again.

“Something happened to him when he was a child. He has forgotten everything that happened before, so he really doesn’t remember all of those.” Lin Mu explained. Song Zhi Xu didn’t know what to say for a moment and fell silent. Lin Mu over there then said again, “But the property you mentioned, I didn’t know about it. I think it’s probably what my father left for Ran Ran personally, after all, he owed Ran Ran a lot and he always felt guilty in his heart.” 

A while ago, his family had been hit by an unforeseen event and misfortune, the family was short of money, so Lin Mu once tried to mortgage all the family’s properties to raise money.

So apart from the old house of the Lin family, he had already made an inventory of all the properties, therefore there was not even a single house under Lin Ran’s name.

After all, Lin Ran hadn’t seen his father since he left the country, so those shadows could only be left behind from his childhood.

“Good, then I’ll take Lin Ran over for a look when I have time.”  Song Zhi Xu said. 

Lin Mu was not in a position to say much at this time, so he just answered and before hanging up, Lin Mu asked again tentatively, “Zhi Xu, is Ran Ran okay? Are you guys okay?” 

Song Zhi Xu looked through the glass of the door at Lin Ran, who was hugging and kissing the big white cat on the hospital bed inside, and answered with “Hn, he is quite okay I’ll take good care of him.” 

“Good.” Lin Mu wanted to remind Song Zhi Xu that he didn’t have to take care of him ‘too well’, that the two of them still needed to keep some distance, but he still in the end couldn’t say it out. 

In the end, he didn’t say anything and the two of them hung up the phone. Song Zhi Xu stood at the door for a while longer before pushing the door and walking into the ward again. Lin Ran still had white gauze wrapped around his forehead and raised his head to look at Song Zhi Xu. Just now, the two of them were close to each other, previously Lin Ran had just woken up so he didn’t notice the white gauze on Song Zhi Xu’s neck, only now when Song Zhi Xu entered the room, did he notice it. 

Lin Ran’s hand subconsciously clenched as he raised himself up nervously and asked anxiously, “Is Song Zhi Xu hurt?”

The big white cat had been held in Lin Ran’s arms, so when Lin Ran’s grip hurt him, he let out a meow and struggled violently, leaving three scratches on Lin Ran’s arm with his back paws. It scampered off the bed and went to hide in the corner. But as if Lin Ran didn’t feel the pain, Lin Ran lunged into Song Zhi Xu’s arms and was caught in his embrace by Song Zhi Xu as quickly as he could. 

“Ran Ran, let me take a look.” Song Zhi Xu hurriedly picked up Lin Ran’s wrist and looked at it, fortunately it only had a light wound and was not bleeding. Since the cat was kept in the hospital, it all had its nails clipped.

“Song Zhi Xu, you are hurt.” Lin Ran moved over and wanted to touch Song Zhi Xu’s injury, but did not dare to do so, for fear of hurting Song Zhi Xu. 

Song Zhi Xu reached out and touched the top of Lin Ran’s hair, whispering, “I’m fine, I just get stretched a bit, it was Mu Qingting who made a fuss over nothing and had to wrap it up for me.”

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knocking sound at the door, the two men looked over. Mu Qingting, who had some dissatisfaction on his face, was standing at the door with Xiao Nanyu behind him, “Thanks to the fact that I stayed in the office all night yesterday, so I could have rushed over here this morning yet you’re even talking badly about me behind my back.” Song Zhi Xu didn’t have an ashamed look or expression on his face, he just picked up Lin Ran’s wrist that had been scratched by the cat and asked,  

“Just now Ran Ran was scratched by a cat, does he need an injection?” When Lin Ran heard that he needed a shot, all of a sudden his hand retracted, and before anyone else could say anything, he shrank back into Song Zhi Xu’s embrace and immediately said. “No.”

Several people in the room were amused by Lin Ran’s reaction. Mu Qingting came over and took a look, somewhat helplessly. 

“It’s only a light wound. The blood didn’t even flow, so what’s the use of the vaccine? Not to mention that this cat was vaccinated, so don’t worry.”

Song Zhi Xu heard him say that he was fine, only then did he was relieved. Song Zhi Xu held Lin Ran’s in his embrace, after that Xiao Nanyu talked to him for a moment. 

He was also a little surprised to hear that Lin Ran had forgotten all about last night.

Only after a while did he gently lift his chin at Song Zhi Xu gesturing for him to go out and wanting to speak with him outside.

Song Zhi Xu nodded his head and moved closer to Lin Ran’s ear to whisper.

”Ran Ran, wait for me here for a while, I’m going out butI’ll be back after a while.”

Lin Ran looked at a few people, nodded obediently before Song Zhi Xu released him and went out with Xiao Nanyu.

Lin Ran and Mu Qingting were the only two people left in the ward, Lin Ran bit his lip and asked in a small voice only after a long time, 

“Did Ran Ran the one who hurt Song Zhi Xu?”

Although Lin Ran did not remember what had happened last night, he had a wound on his forehead and Song Zhi Xu also had a wound on his body.

Mu Qingting was surprised and immediately asked, “Ran Ran, don’t tell me that you actually remember what happened last night but didn’t dare to talk about it?”

Seeing Lin Ran shake his head, he asked again, “Then why do you think that you are the one who hurt Song Zhi Xu?”

Lin Ran hesitated for a long time and lowered his head. His voice was somewhat trembling, “Auntie Nanny said that Ran Ran was crazy, would go mad and at that time Ran Ran’s forehead also had injuries.”

Seeing his appearance, Mu Qingting also felt a bit distressed for him and subconsciously wanted to comfort him, but just as he got close to him, Lin Ran’s body shuddered and moved backwards, so he could only stop and take back his outstretched hand again. When Song Zhi Xu was around, Lin Ran would relax a lot, but once Song Zhi Xu was not around, Lin Ran seemed to be tense at all times, rejecting everyone’s approach.

Outside the door, Song Zhi Xu briefly told Xiao Nanyu about the situation he had heard and asked from Lin Mu.

Xiao Nanyu thought about it and said, “I suggest you can take him to see that house, maybe it will make him recall something. “

Song Zhi Xu exactly also had this intention, since it was left to Lin Ran, although more than ten years had passed, he still wanted to take Lin Ran back to see it.

“Then can I take Lin Ran back now?” Song Zhi Xu asked again. Xiao Nanyu thought for a moment.

“The patient’s condition is now more serious than I thought it might be. I want to give him a forced memory intervention, but he might be very resistant, so…” He still had to ask Song Zhi Xu what he wanted to do about this matter. He could tell that Song Zhi Xu cared for Lin Ran and if he didn’t get Song Zhi Xu’s cooperation, he wouldn’t succeed.

Song Zhi Xu thought about it and agreed, Lin Ran’s situation was indeed somewhat serious and could not go on like this.

“So I need to talk to him alone, then you can’t be there, he might cry and freak out, so you must be prepared.” Xiao Nanyu added. Song Zhi Xu agreed, lowering his eyes, and went out without speaking. Xiao Nanyu walked into the ward wearing the doctor’s white coat. It didn’t take long for Mu Qingting to come out of the room and close the door behind him.

He looked at Song Zhi Xu who was leaning against the corridor wall in a somewhat dazed state and sighed.

“Just now, little Ran Ran asked me if he had hurt you.” Song Zhi Xu raised his head up, waiting for Mu Qingting to finish his words. Sure enough after a moment, Mu Qingting continued, “According to him this is not the first time he has suddenly freaked out, before the nanny said he was lunatic and would hit his forehead when he went mad.”

Song Zhi Xu’s hand clenched and then unclenched again, he didn’t dare to think about how Lin Ran had lived in the past years.

From the Lin family to another place, his life hadn’t changed much.

Just when he was thinking about it, Lin Ran’s scream came out of the ward, Song Zhi Xu’s body shuddered so he didn’t even think about it and wanted to go in, but he was stopped by Mu Qingting who quickly reacted and pulled him to one side, “Old Song [Lao Song], you can’t go in.”

Song Zhi Xu had just taken a glance and wondered what Xiao Nanyu had said inside. Lin Ran was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands, his body trembling uncontrollably. Song Zhi Xu remembered Xiao Nanyu’s words, so he could only hold back while Lin Ran’s screams came from inside again, intermittently, one after another. “Ah go away, don’t ask, Ran Ran doesn’t know.”

“Song Zhi Xu, Song Zhi Xu, Ran Ran want to find Song Zhi Xu.” Ran Ran afraid that Song Zhi Xu… 

Song Zhi Xu’s heart felt as if it was dripping blood as he listened to Lin Ran’s shout from outside.

Not long after that, Lin Ran’s voice had gone hoarse. Song Zhi Xu finally couldn’t hold it any longer and ignored what Xiao Nanyu said and shook Mu Qingting off to push open the door of the ward.
