Chapter 729: Feigning Amnesia?

“I did see her,” Bai Zhi sighed. “Commander Gu didn’t seem to want to see my sister. When she went in, he was pretending to be asleep.”

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, "Pretending to be asleep?"

Bai Zhi shrugged. "Yeah, I don't know why he's like this. It's like he's running away."

"Where's my sister?" Lu Ye asked.

"She said she was going to see the hospital leaders and needed to stay with the patient that night."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lu Ye said, "Sister probably won't be coming to our house tonight. Let's not get involved in this for now and let them handle it themselves."

Bai Zhi, however, had little confidence in the two people. She said, "I'm afraid I'll mess it up if I handle it myself."

Gu Jingyi was pretending to be asleep, and Lu Shan couldn't do anything about it. She spent half a day in the ward trying to wake him up.

If she hadn't said she was going to give him acupuncture to scare him, Gu Jingyi wouldn't have opened his eyes.

He is clearly avoiding the issue.

Therefore, they also need to play the role of a divine assist.

Bai Zhi remembered Lu Shan saying that when she broke up with Gu Jingyi, she said a lot of harsh things, and the two had a very unpleasant falling out. Gu Jingyi went on a secret mission to spite her and prove himself.

Now that two years have passed, why is Gu Jingyi unwilling to see Lu Shan?

It's because the two have already broken up, but they still hold a grudge about what happened back then.

Or is it because he is now seriously injured and his whole appearance is unrecognizable, so he is sensitive and inferior and doesn't want to face Lu Shan?

Nobody can say for sure.

Bai Zhi said to Lu Ye, "You should go back to the unit first. Political Commissar Zhang and the others should also report the situation and explain the relationship between our sister and Gu Jingyi. Our sister will stay tonight to take care of him, but we will definitely need the leaders' approval."

"Okay, I'll come pick you up later." Lu Ye got up and went back to his unit.

Lu Shan approached Director Li and made her request.

Director Li was very surprised and didn't understand why the chief surgeon they had invited would need a caregiver after the surgery was already completed.

Director Li smiled and said, "Director Lu, if the surgery is already completed and there are no further complications, you don't need to go through all this trouble."

"Director Li, is he Gu Jingyi?" Lu Shan looked at Director Li and directly confirmed the patient's identity.

"This..." The director was unsure whether he should reveal the patient's real name.

Seeing that Director Li hesitated, Lu Shan simply stated her relationship with Gu Jingyi directly: "He is my boyfriend."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing Lu Shan's words, Director Li's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Lu Shan in disbelief.

Previously, the military had told him not to disclose the patient's real information to other doctors. He assumed it was because the patient's identity was too important to be revealed, but he never expected that the patient had a relationship with Director Lu.

They are still in a romantic relationship.

Seeing Director Li's amused expression, Lu Shan asked, "So, can I stay and keep an eye on him?"

"this……"

Even though Director Li had gotten the big scoop, he still looked very troubled.

His opinion doesn't count.

Besides, who can verify Lu Shan's words?

Who can prove their relationship?

He dared not take such an important patient lightly.

Director Li said, "I need to discuss this matter with the military before I can give you an answer."

Fearing that Director Li would make excuses, Lu Shan said, "If it's inconvenient for you, I'll go to Political Commissar Zhang and explain the reason to him."

“Convenient, convenient. I’ll call Political Commissar Zhang later to explain the situation, and I’ll let you know when he gets back to you.” Director Li smiled at Lu Shan and said, “Director Lu, please go and rest.”

"Okay, I'll go back to my ward and stay there. If you have any news, please let me know."

How could Lu Shan possibly rest at a time like this?

She just wanted to be in the hospital room with him.

When she returned to the ward, Gu Jingyi was still receiving an IV drip.

She asked the nurse, "Has the patient passed gas?"

"It's lined up."

Lu Shan instructed, "Could you please go to the cafeteria and get him some porridge?"

"good."

She then sat down on a chair by the bed, where the person remained with their eyes closed.

She sat down and took his hand again.

She looked at him, her tone gentler than ever before, "Gu Jingyi, open your eyes and look at me."

“I know you’re awake. Look at me, I’m Lu Shan.”

"I'm sorry, I know you're probably blaming me."

She sniffed. "Open your eyes and look at me. I'll accept whatever you say, whether you scold me or blame me."

No matter how she talked to him, the person on the bed didn't open his eyes.

Lu Shan sighed, but didn't force him, and just quietly watched him.

After the porridge arrived, she wanted to feed him.

But the person is asleep, so I can't feed them.

Now that you've passed gas, you can eat something.

It's not a good idea for him to just lie there with his eyes closed.

Just then, Director Li arrived in a flurry of activity, beckoning to Lu Shan and signaling her to leave.

Lu Shan got up and left the ward, hurriedly asking, "Director Li, how is he?"

Director Li replied, "I've spoken with Political Commissar Zhang, and they've agreed to let you accompany him."

"Okay." Lu Shan finally showed a relieved expression.

"Director Lu, thank you for your hard work."

"fine."

After Director Li left, Lu Shan returned to her ward.

She stood in front of the hospital bed, looked at the person on it, and said, "From now on, I will be here as a family member to take care of you until you recover."

“I know you must have heard my voice. You don’t want to face me and have been pretending to be asleep.”

"Jingyi, we have a long future ahead of us."

Upon hearing Lu Shan's words, the person on the hospital bed could no longer pretend to be asleep, and he could only slowly open his eyes.

And so their eyes met.

Two years later, when she looked into his eyes again, Lu Shan's heart trembled violently.

My nose tingled, and tears welled up in my eyes.

She grabbed his hand, unable to control her emotions any longer, and choked out, "Jingyi..."

"Who are you?" the man asked slowly.

Lu Shan, “???”

Amnesia?

His reaction caught her off guard. "Gu Jingyi, don't you recognize me? Are you doing this on purpose?"

The man lifted his eyelids slightly and said coldly, "Sorry, I really don't know you."

Lu Shan became even more out of control, "You're talking nonsense! I'm a doctor, I've examined you all over your body, there's nothing wrong with your brain, you couldn't possibly have amnesia."

"Gu Jingyi, why are you doing this?" she cried.

"I haven't lost my memory, I'm just not familiar with you."

The man used all his strength to try to pull his hand away, saying, "I don't need your help, please leave."

But how could a weak patient like him withstand the strength of a normal person? Lu Shan held his hand firmly and wouldn't let go. "I know you're blaming me. Can you focus on getting better first? We can talk about other things after you've recovered."

Gu Jingyi's attitude was indifferent. "What is there for us to talk about? I told you to leave."

"I won't leave until you recover."

Lu Shan picked up the porridge from the bedside table and began to feed him.

The man turned his face away and refused to open his mouth.

Lu Shan's expression turned serious, and her tone became commanding, "I am your surgeon, and you must listen to me now."

The man demanded, "Let someone else do it."

Lu Shan was assertive. She scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth. "There's no one else here. It was your military leaders and hospital leaders who instructed me to accompany you. You had no choice."
