“Amnesia!” Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming exclaimed at the same time.
“Of course, this amnesia is not the same as the kind of memory loss you imagined.” The doctor waved his hand and explained, “The patient didn’t forget everything now, but only a small part!”
“Forgotten a small part?” Yang Ming frowned a little. It isn’t fine even if just forgetting a small part. Who would like to have a blank in their memory?
“Yes, it is medically addressed as partial amnesia. It is a rare type of amnesia.” The doctor said, “In other words, the patient may have forgotten something from a specific period. But this is not a big deal. Based on the situation now, the patient’s memory and knowledge stagnated a year ago. This period of memory does not have much impact on the patient’s life.
“In fact, you don’t have to worry too much. It is already a blessing that the patient can wake up. Moreover, as far as I know in many similar cases, if a patient has local amnesia, then the memory will return to the stage of a four or five-year-old or a seven or eight-year-old. In the end, it will have a significant impact on the normal life of the patient.
“However, the situation of patient Zhou Jiajia is slightly better. She is now in university. While her memory is still in the Grade 12 stage right now. It is not a big problem when she goes to college.”
Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan heard the doctor’s words and nodded. Indeed, if it were just as the doctor said, then it would be a blessing in misfortune.
“What is the reason that caused this?” Yang Ming asked, “Is there a possibility of recovery?”
“As for the reasons, there are many. In partial amnesia, people would often forget about some of the more important things in the past,” explained the doctor. “The patient was injured by a gunshot. According to my guess, this was probably a very dangerous experience. Hence, the patient may choose to forget about it subconsciously deep in her mind.”
“I see!” Yang Ming nodded. What the doctor had explained made sense. That was indeed the fact. Which girl will still be fine after experiencing this terrible experience?!
“In fact, sometimes choosing to forget is not necessarily a bad thing. Of course, if you want to restore her memory, it is not entirely impossible,” continued the doctor. “You can try to tell her about what had happened throughout this year. It may awaken her memories. But I feel that if there is nothing particularly important, it is not necessary to do so.”
“I understand. Thank you, doctor!” Yang Ming thanked him.
“It is alright. The patient can already be discharged based on her current situation. You should go and handle her discharge procedures as soon as possible.” The doctor said.
Yang Ming nodded. He went out to the infirmary with Chen Mengyan and walked into the ward. He saw Zhou Jiajia sitting quietly on the hospital bed and looking out the window in a daze.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhou Jiajia looked back. Her gaze fell onYang Ming and Chen Mengyan as she said in bafflement and surprise, “You are…”
Yang Ming was in shock. He immediately recalled that Zhou Jiajia lost her memory! It was reasonable for her not to know Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan because Zhou Jiajia hadn’t yet gone to college a year ago!
“Jiajia, we are…” Yang Ming’s words were interrupted before they were finished.
Zhou Jiajia’s eyes suddenly flashed a hint of surprise and said somewhat excitedly, “Yang Ming? You are Yang Ming!… How come you are here?”
” Ugh …” Yang Ming had never encountered such a scene. Obviously, Zhou Jiajia recognized me, but how do I explain it?
“Yang Ming, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” Zhou Jiajia was still very happy and excited to say, “How did you know that I was hospitalized?”
“I… Jiajia, do you really not remember anything?” Yang Ming asked with a smile.
Zhou Jiajia was somewhat inexplicable. She blinked her big drowning eyes and replied with some sorrow, “What do I not remember? What happened?”
“Jiajia, don’t you remember? How did you get hurt, how did you get into the hospital, and… and what did you say before you were injured?” Yang Ming hoped that Zhou Jiajia would be able to recall it all at once. However, the result was very disappointing for him.
Zhou Jiajia answered with a blank expression, “Injured? Was I injured? How did I get injured?”
“Jiajia, this year is actually 2009, not 2008. You entered the hospital because of an injury. However, after you woke up, your memory stagnated at a year ago. The doctor said that you have partial amnesia…” Yang Ming explained in one breath.
“Partial amnesia? Me?” Zhou Jiajia pointed at herself. She was suddenly shocked and lost her voice. “Yang Ming, is what you said true?”
Yang Ming nodded and sighed. “Jiajia, you are not a high school student, but a university student. We are all students of computer science at Song Jiang Industry University. We have become classmates again…”
“Are we classmates again?” Zhou Jiajia was curious and excited at the same time. However, after the excitement, it became a deep worry. “Yang Ming, is all you said true? Are we both university students? I have already lost my memory?”
Yang Ming didn’t know how to explain it. However, when he raised his head, he found a newspaper on the table in the ward. It was probably brought by Aunty Li, so Yang Ming took the paper and placed it in front of Zhou Jiajia. “Jiajia, look at the date on the newspaper. It is already February 2009…”
Zhou Jiajia picked up the newspaper and looked at it. She put it down again and bit her lower lip. No one knew what she was thinking…
Seeing Zhou Jiajia’s appearance, Chen Mengyan was also somewhat worried, so she persuaded, “Jiajia, it isn’t a big deal in fact. It is just amnesia, nothing serious. Yang Ming and I will always be with you!”
” Ah … thank you…” Zhou Jiajia smiled a little, but she asked, slightly embarrassed, “You are…”
” Ah !” Chen Mengyan was stunned for a while. Only then did she realize that she had forgotten to introduce herself. Zhou Jiajia could recognize Yang Ming because the two were junior high school students. It wasn’t much of a surprise. However, for Chen Mengyan, she only met Zhou Jiajia after going to university. No wonder Zhou Jiajia had no memory of her!
How do I speak to Zhou Jiajia? Chen Mengyan hesitated as she sat gently next to Zhou Jiajia. She held Zhou Jiajia’s little hand and put it in her own hands. Chen Mengyan wanted to say something but Yang Ming was around. She felt embarrassed to say it, so she glared at Yang Ming and said, “You go out first!”
Yang Ming was somewhat inexplicable by Chen Mengyan’s action. Isn’t it just a self-introduction? Why do you need to do it behind my back? Yang Ming shook his head with a smile as he turned around to exit the ward and closed the door for Chen Mengyan.
It would be a lie if Yang Ming weren’t interested. Anyway, there was a woman who was already his own, and another one who would be his eventually. Hence, Yang Ming simply didn’t care much but directly observed the situation in the ward with his special ability.
Zhou Jiajia was also somewhat inexplicable due to Chen Mengyan. She looked at Chen Mengyan, baffled, “Why did you drive Yang Ming out?”
“Some words can’t be said in front of him, so I had him go out!” laughed Chen Mengyan.
” Ah !” Zhou Jiajia said in realization after hearing it, “You must be Yang Ming’s girlfriend.” Seeing Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming together, with both of them bossing each other around, Zhou Jiajia made such a guess.
Chen Mengyan’s face blushed. “Jiajia, my name is Chen Mengyan. You are right, I’m Yang Ming’s girlfriend…”
” Oh …” Zhou Jiajia nodded with a hint of disappointment flashing across her face. However, Chen Mengyan was looking at Zhou Jiajia at this moment. How could she not notice Zhou Jiajia’s expression?
Chen Mengyan knew about Zhou Jiajia’s feelings for Yang Ming naturally. As Chen Mengyan noticed Zhou Jiajia’s expression at the moment, she couldn’t help but be a little amused! This little girl is probably jealous of me, right?
” Hehe , I haven’t finished speaking yet.” Chen Mengyan smiled and said, “I’m Yang Ming’s girlfriend. You are also Yang Ming’s girlfriend!”
” Ah !?” Zhou Jiajia was shocked and almost jumped up. “Me? Me too?”
Zhou Jiajia was really a little surprised. She didn’t expect Chen Mengyan to say this to her!
“Yes, why? Don’t you remember?” Chen Mengyan whispered with a smile, “You don’t want to admit it because of amnesia? I know it. Yang Ming has your diary!”
“My? Diary!” Zhou Jiajia’s face suddenly blushed. Because Zhou Jiajia was lying in the hospital for a while, she didn’t face the sun for a long time, so her skin was fairer. As soon as she was shy, the reaction on her face was pronounced when her blush extended to her neck. “You… you… he… he… how do you have my diary?”
Zhou Jiajia suddenly stammered as she couldn’t articulate her words smoothly.
“I don’t know about that. You gave it to him probably.” laughed Chen Mengyan.
“Yes…” Zhou Jiajia shook her head inexplicably, “You… just said that I am also a girlfriend of Yang Ming? You too?”
“Yeah, is it a little surprising?” Chen Mengyan was very sympathetic to Zhou Jiajia’s experience, using her own life to protect her lover. How much courage would that take?! Chen Mengyan admired her extremely just because of that.
Moreover, Chen Mengyan had made up her mind before. She intended to accept Zhou Jiajia from the bottom of her heart. When Zhou Jiajia woke up, she would tell Zhou Jiajia. However, what she did not expect was that the situation had changed. It was beyond Chen Mengyan’s expectations!
Since Zhou Jiajia had forgotten this year’s matters, in other words, since Zhou Jiajia didn’t recognize Chen Mengyan at all, Chen Mengyan was a little anxious. What if Zhou Jiajia bypassed her and pursued Yang Ming?
Therefore, Chen Mengyan thought of this and couldn’t wait to drive Yang Ming out. Then, she gave Zhou Jiajia an established fact that the two were now Yang Ming’s girlfriend. The past was like this, and the future would be the same, too.
