Gu Yenan chased after Ren Jiya. The two figures quickly disappeared from Du Zimo's sight.
On the road outside the hospital, the streets were bustling with traffic.
She ran to the corner and hid under the wall. She crouched on the ground with her hands between her knees, tears streaming down her face.
She put her arm between her lips and bit down hard until she felt pain and saw a row of red teeth.
At this moment, a figure suddenly came from the corner and blocked the light coming from her side.
Without waiting for her to raise her head, Gu Yannan was already squatting down with a calm and collected expression. He said in an unquestionable tone, "It's my fault that I didn't tell you about my illness, but I never believed that you would never be able to remember me."
"Gu Yannan, I've already become like this, and you still want to be with me?" Ren Jiya lowered her eyes slowly, her palms clenching into fists. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm a person without a past."
"I don't mind." Gu Yannan quietly held her in his arms, "Without the past, your future will still be mine! Also, believe me, you will definitely remember the past, you definitely will! "
"No!" Ren Jiya was stunned for a moment before she awkwardly came out of Gu Yannan's embrace. She stared at him with a strange look and shook her head. "I can't even remember my children or my mother. Life has become a problem."
"Ji Ya, I am enough for you." Gu Yannan pursed his lips and bitterly pulled at the corner of his lips. He swept his gaze over Ren Jiaya's awkward expression, "Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. I will never let you go." Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will still find you. "
"How overbearing." Ren Jiya stiffened her body and raised her head to meet Gu Yannan's gaze.
"I can only be domineering towards you."
"Why?"
"Because others aren't qualified."
Ren Jiya forced a bitter smile, stood up stiffly and wiped the tears from her eyes. "It's time to go. I still want to stay with mom for a while. Go back first."
"I'll get Cheng Jian to come pick you up later."
"No, I'll go back to the gallery myself."
Gu Yannan stared at her figure as she turned to leave. He pursed his lips and said, "Okay."
He couldn't force her again.
When Ren returned to the gallery, Xue was excitedly chatting about the price with a customer.
Don't look at this picture, sir. It's abstract and simple. It's the latest work of any of us painters. "You should already know that she hid away for a while to recharge herself. This is her first painting ever since she came back. Now that you have bought a collection, she will become a famous painter after a few years. This painting is worth a lot!
"She disappeared from the scene for a while, but there was news online that she had lost her memory. She can't even remember the past. The level of painting must have dropped. "
"Can you believe the rumors casually spread online? Ren did not lose her memory, she was just annoyed by the media to want to find a quiet place to paint. Art people like peace and quiet. "
"That's true, but …" The customer stroked his chin and carefully examined the painting that Ren Jiya had finished on Xue Tingxiao. He said in surprise, "The style of this painting and Miss Ren's previous work is really … "It's very different."
"You truly are an expert. You were able to tell who it was with a single glance." Xue Tingxiao was already sweating profusely, but he still sold as much as he could, "She wanted to try different styles of work, so she changed her taste."
"Alright, according to what you said, I'll buy this painting. Help me wrap it up."
"Good, good, good." Xue Tingxiao finally relaxed a little and happily ran to get the wrapping paper.
She was trying to calm herself down as she ran. It was unknown if the customer saw through her behavior.
After the guest had taken the painting out of the door, Ren Ji Ya walked in front of Xue Tingxiao with a stiff body and a displeased frown. "Tingxiao, why are you lying to the guest?"
"Ya sis, do you know that the gallery hasn't been opened for several months? Today, we finally found a fat duck."
"He already knows the news of my amnesia. He must have guessed that I didn't finish the painting alone."
"So the price of my sales isn't high, nor is it a fraud."
"If something like that happens again, you're not allowed to make your own decisions."
"Sister Ya, you must not let everyone know about your true amnesia. Recently, many customers have asked about this matter and I have helped you to clarify that it is an online rumor. Once you have recovered your memories, this matter will naturally be solved."
Ren Ji Ya's body froze. She glanced at Xue Tingxiao quietly for a few times before her tone suddenly became more serious. "What if I can never regain my memories?!"
"How is this possible?" Xue Tingxiao looked as if he had heard a joke and heavily smiled, "Don't scare me."
Ren Jiya didn't react too strongly, only lowering her head and slowly walking upstairs.
Up to the end of the day, Ren Jiya was in the materials room on the second floor, counting the watercolors, oil colors and pen and paper used in painting.
She stood up after squatting for a while. Her legs were sore. She looked out of the window and found that the lights in the sky were shining brightly.
At this time, Xue Tingxiao got off work early.
Ren Jiya pushed open the door to the material room and smelled a pungent smoke coming from the corridor outside.
"Pu …" She could not help but pinch her nose as she walked towards the source of the smell.
She checked the rooms one by one and stopped outside the empty junkyard at the end of the corridor.
Looking through the small window in the door, I could see a few sparks of fire.
Ren Jiya was frightened out of her wits. She hurriedly pushed open the door with one leg and rushed in without caring that there was a big fire going on inside.
She took a closer look and realized that there were several boxes of uncleaned oil paint in the corner of the warehouse. For some reason, the paint had started to burn, causing the old and broken cardboard boxes in the room to burn as well.
Fortunately, she found it in time to save the gallery from disaster.
She quickly put on her mask and filled the bucket with water, ready to throw it at the flames, but when she returned with the bucket, she found that the fire was not only inextinguishable, but was also on the verge of becoming more and more violent.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Ren ZIya was already blinded by the smoke of the fire.
She was about to carry another bucket of water when her body lightened and she fell into a stiff embrace.
"Who is it!?" Put me down! " The blood drained from Ren ZIya's face. She grabbed the arm that was hugging her, but the man quickly moved her out of the gallery.
"Ren Jiya, are you going to burn yourself in the gallery when I don't show up today?" Gu Yenan tightly pressed Ren JIya's forehead into his chest. He sped up his pace and flew out of the room.
