Uncle Zhou?
Ning Qing was secretly happy.
“Shaoming, Ning Qing calls me Uncle Zhou. What does she call you? I’m not much older than you.”
Lu Shaoming felt that the “Ning Qing” sounded extremely harsh to his ears. Were these two people close with each other?
He glanced sideways at Ning Qing. “Tell him, what do you call me?”
Ning Qing’s eyes curved with a smile as she called out, “Hubby.”
Lu Shaoming raised his eyebrows and looked proudly at Zhou Dayuan.
Zhou Dayuan gave him a look — childish!
He picked up a document from his desk and said, “Let’s go, I’ve made an appointment with Master Bill. It’s about time he came.”
The three of them were walking in the corridor when two figures stepped in front of them. The hypnotist Bill was in front, and a beautiful little woman was behind.
Lu Shaoming took a look at the woman, then looked at Zhou Dayuan, whose expression remained unchanged, but was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Dayuan welcomed him and held out his hand. “Master Bill, welcome. This is Young Master Lu, Mrs. Lu.”
Lu Shaoming reached out and said, “Hello, Master Bill.”
Bill smiled and shook hands with the two men. He looked at the little woman behind him and said, “This is my proudest student, Jian Han. She has some accomplishments in hypnosis and is a top student at Oxford University. She is also an alumnus of Dr. Zhou.”
Jian Han bowed politely. “Dr. Zhou, Young Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, how are you?”
Zhou Dayuan glanced at Jian Han. They both looked at each other but their gazes did not linger.
“Young Master Lu, let’s go. I’ve heard about you from Doctor Zhou. We are still 70% sure about this hypnotic operation. Let’s try it now,” Bill said.
“Do you want to try now?” Ning Qing nervously held Lu Shaoming’s hand.
At that time, Jian Han said, “Mrs. Lu, don’t be nervous. Hypnosis is just a matter of sleeping. It doesn’t harm the patient’s body. There are few examples of an immediately successful hypnosis treatment. It depends on the individual’s mind. My teacher will check Young Master Lu’s condition first.”
Ning Qing was still worried. Lu Shaoming caressed her hair and said, “Wifey, wait outside for me. I’ll be out soon.”
“Alright.” Ning Qing nodded.
…
The hypnosis was performed in a warm, elegant room. Lu Shaoming was lying in a rattan chair.
Jian Han saw a blanket on the sofa, so she went over and reached for it, but then a big fair hand came over and held the corner of the blanket.
This hand was more beautiful than a woman’s, with distinct outlines and slender joints. This was also the hand that wore white gloves while skillfully turning the scalpel to save lives and treat injuries.
Jian Han raised her eyes and bumped into Zhou Dayuan’s eyes that were hidden behind his glasses. She looked sideways and laughed, alienated. “Doctor Zhou, please.”
She passed by him.
Zhou Dayuan picked up the blanket, walked to Lu Shaoming, and bent over to cover him.
Lu Shaoming lifted his lip and mocked in a low voice, “Does your heart still pound upon seeing your first love again?”
“Worry about your own matters.” Zhou Dayuan pulled away.
Lu Shaoming was in a good mood. At that time, he heard Bill say, “Young Master Lu, we’ll start the hypnotic treatment at 4:30 pm. You can see the time for yourself.”
“All right.” Lu Shaoming raised his hand and looked at his watch.
The world seemed to stop at this moment, his ears were full of the “tick-tock” of the watch, he slowly closed his eyes.
…
Ning Qing waited outside for half an hour. After half an hour, the door opened.
Zhou Dayuan came out first, and Ning Qing nervously asked, “Brother Dayuan, how is he?”
Zhou Dayuan wasn’t too emotional. Medicine was his specialty. He had a professional expression as he said, “The situation is not ideal. Shaoming has been successfully hypnotized, but Bill can’t get into his dreams.”
“What does this mean?”
“It means that Shaoming has built a wall in his heart. He has subconsciously refused to let anyone enter his heart. His personality is so tough that Bill couldn’t enter his heart. Although he came for the hypnotic treatment, he refused to cooperate from the bottom of his heart.”
Ning Qing was confused. “Since he has already come, why refused to cooperate? Is he unwilling to restore his memory?”
Zhou Dayuan shrugged. “You need to ask him.”
Lu Shaoming got up from the rattan chair, and Ning Qing quickly grabbed his strong arm. “Hubby, are you alright?”
Lu Shaoming shook his head. “I’m alright, but I couldn’t…”
Ning Qing quickly stood on her tiptoes and kissed him hard on his handsome face. “It doesn’t matter if you can’t recover your memory. Don’t be pressured, Hubby. Just give it a go.”
Zhou Dayuan looked at them and shook his head in his heart. Since neither of them want to restore his memories, why did they come to England?
They have mental problems.
Zhou Dayuan looked into the room. Bill was sitting in a chair. Jian Han stood beside him. The woman’s figure was tall at 1.7 meters. She exuded a fashionable, professional style in her white coat. Because she was looking down, her hair was hanging down to her shoulders, and her small face was as beautiful and as smooth as water.
He looked at her twice before putting one of his hand in his trousers pocket, then turned around and walked away.
…
In the ward, Ning Qing was sitting in a chair, peeling apples. Lu Shaoming was leaning against the bed. He had one arm behind his head and was squinting leisurely at Zhou Dayuan.
Now that he had ended work, Zhou Dayuan had taken off his white coat. He wore a simple striped shirt underneath and was standing there quietly, as gentle as jade.
“Dayuan, what happened to you and Jian Han? I remember you were a couple that everyone at Oxford envied.”
Ning Qing came in and asked, “Brother Dayuan, have you dated Jian Han?”
“Not only dated; back then, Dayuan was 18 years old. He was in love for the first time. He was in a relationship for about 6 years, then they broke up. Dayuan has been single ever since. Hey, Zhou Dayuan, you are already 31 years old. It’s time to get married. Otherwise, Little Master Lu in my family can only stay single,” Lu Shaoming said with a smile.
Ning Qing cut the apple and placed the pieces onto a small plate while smiling. She then speared a piece with a toothpick and fed it to Lu Shaoming.
Lu Shaoming wrapped Ning Qing’s shoulder with one arm and pulled her into his embrace.
Ning Qing’s little face turned red. “What are you doing? Somebody’s here…”
“Don’t worry about him. He used to show off so much when I was single and he was in a relationship.”
Ning Qing wanted to speak, but then a knock on the door sounded. Speak of the devil; Jian Han came in.
Jian Han held a tray in her hand. “Doctor Zhou, Young Master Lu, I’m not bothering you, am I? A nurse wanted to deliver your meal. I was on the way, so I brought it here.”
Ning Qing quickly broke away from Lu Shaoming and stood up. She reached out her hands to take the tray. “Thank you, Dr. Jian.”
Jian Han smiled and said. “You’re welcome. It’s no trouble.” She looked at Ning Qing’s happy little face that looked like a blossoming flower and asked, “Young Master Lu and Mrs. Lu’s relationship is really good?”
Ning Qing looked at Lu Shaoming and handed him a pair of chopsticks while biting her pink lips. She nodded her head forcefully. “Yep!”
Extremely good.
“It seems that amnesia does not affect your feelings. In this case, Young Master Lu, why did you want to come to England?”
Lu Shaoming’s hand that was holding his chopsticks froze. He then said, “Dr. Jian, I’m here to recover my memory.”
“Mmm.” Jian Han nodded and stopped talking.
Ning Qing looked at Zhou Dayuan and blinked wittily. “Doctor Jian, look at you, so beautiful and competent. Are you married?”
Zhou Dayuan had one of his hands in his pocket, and his eyes were downcast. When he heard the question, his expression changed.
“Yes, I have a fiancé. You eat slowly. I’ll leave you be.” Jian Han turned around and left.
After Jian Han went away, Lu Shaoming took the white rice from Ning Qing and looked at Zhou Dayuan casually. “Did you hear that? She has a fiancé. You should hurry up too.”
Without paying attention to him, Zhou Dayuan stood up and walked to the door. “I have to go.”
After both of them had left, the room was quiet again. Ning Qing took a piece of celery and bit into it with relish. She curiously asked, “Shaoming, was Dayuan and Jian Han’s relationship good back then?”
Lu Shaoming scooped up the soup with a spoon, blew it gently, and then brought it to Ning Qing’s mouth. “Yes, of course. They were both elite students of Oxford University. They are natural geniuses. They are both medical students and have the same interests and character. Even their cold and arrogant personalities are similar. They fell in love at first sight and dated for six years.”
Ning Qing drank the soup that the man fed her. How difficult it was to find a lover who you can talk about everything under the stars in this vast sea of people. The first love on campus is often inexperienced, confusing, and the most memorable. How many wonderful memories would they have had in six years?
“Dayuan once brought Jian Han back to the Zhou family, but unfortunately, Dayuan’s parents and Zhou Zhilei did not like her.”
“Why?”
“Because Jian Han’s parents only ran a small clinic; her status was not high enough.”
Ning Qing understood that people like Kong Lan and Zhou Zhilei would like their daughter-in-law to be of noble birth. Besides, Zhou Dayuan was so excellent.
“Did Brother Dayuan compromise?”
“No. I remember at one of Dayuan’s birthday parties, Jian Han came with a cake, but Auntie Zhou didn’t even let her in. Later, Jian Han ran away, and Dayuan abandoned a room full of guests to chase after her. The birthday party ended on a sour note. When I left, I saw them both.”
“Where did you see them?”
“It was raining heavily that day. The two of them were hiding in a telephone booth by the roadside, and Dayuan was shielding Jian Han from the rain inside. His entire back was wet and he pressed against Jian Han while kissing her.”
Ning Qing’s small face turned a little red while listening. Such a clean and warm man like Zhou Dayuan, with an outstanding temperament about him all the time, she hadn’t expected him to be…
“Surprised?” Lu Shaoming saw through her mind at a glance. He laughed. “Later, Dayuan did not return to the Zhou family home. He rented a house outside the school with Jian Han, and they began to live together.”
Live together?
“Yes.” Lu Shaoming approached Ning Qing and whispered in her ear, “Once, I went to find him, guess what I found on his computer?”
