“Now, all my enemy can do is watch me live a free and happy life—better than his will ever be.”
The last time Wu Pingting asked this question, Xu Feiyang had merely replied with, “Yes, I’ve caught him.” However, this time, he said much more.
Xu Yunyun nodded and sighed. “The best punishment for a criminal in this world is to have them see their victim living a better life than theirs. It makes them envious.”
Wu Pingting smiled. She thought about what her idol had said to her that afternoon.
“Pingting, do you really not remember anything?” Xu Yunyun asked sadly.
Wu Pingting led Xu Yunyun and Xu Feiyang inside before she explained. “It’s not that I don’t remember anything at all, I just don’t remember what happened last month. I’ve lost memory of the experience that left me like this—but I still remember everything else. My idol said that this is my body’s instinctive self-preservation after such traume. I’m pretty happy with it.”
Seeing Xu Yunyun’s sad expression, Wu Pingting asked with a smile, “Well, do you feel that my selective amnesia is particularly bad? The person who kidnapped me but didn’t kill me must have wanted me to suffer so much that I wouldn’t want to live anymore. He wanted me to live in fear, anger, and hopelessness for the rest of my life. But he didn’t expect my memory to completely lapse. When I woke up today, my idol told me that I had been accepted into the Military Medical Hospital. From now on, I’ll be able to always be with my idol. Do you know how amazing that feels? I was so worried my total score would be below the 620 benchmark, so I feared being rejected. The incident knocked me out, and when I woke up, I found out that I had been accepted. You could not possibly understand the happiness I feel right now.”
Xu Yunyun and Xu Feiyang stared at Wu Pingting in a daze. Their mouths twitched.
Was she not being a little bit too optimistic?
She knew what she had experienced, right?
Right?
Seeing that the two of them were completely dumbfounded, Wu Zongxu, who had been standing beside Wu Pingting, rubbed her head lovingly and praised her. “Yes, yes, yes, you’re the best! If someone else suffered a major setback or trauma like yours, they would have been sad for a very long time. However, due to your selective amnesia, you can forget all your upsetting memories. It really is amazing!”
Wu Pingting giggled. It was unknown whether she recovered because she had lost her memories, or because she had a very positive attitude.
Regardless of what it was, she was now exuberant.
She was happy that she had survived the calamity and was not killed and also happy that she was about to become classmates with her idol.
“I heard from Yunyun that you were saved by the eldest daughter of the Nangong family?”
Yunyun saying that excited Wu Pingting. As the few of them entered the living room and Wu Pingting invited Xu Yunyun and Xu Feiyang to sit down, Wu Pingting heard Xu Feiyang ask about her idol. Wu Pingting immediately sat down beside Xu Feiyang and answered excitedly. “That’s right. You don’t even know how amazing my idol is. My grandfather told my father that even the top neurologists and psychologists in the world could not help me, but my idol was able to wake me within less than an hour of treatment. Isn’t that incredible?”
Thinking about the girl who had saved him in prison, a gentle look flashed across Xu Feiyang’s deep eyes.
