Chapter 736 Kevin

"Drink some water first." Professor Bob smiled and handed over a glass of lukewarm lemon water with two thin slices of cucumber floating in it. "Electrolyte balance is very important."

Taking small sips of the warm liquid, the cool liquid slid across the dry throat, bringing a sense of clarity.

"Now, if you're ready," Professor Bob said in a low, steady voice, "try to describe the two different scenarios you just experienced. First, the memory that made you feel comfortable."

Wen Liang closed his eyes, trying to catch the rapidly fading images, recalling Yu Bella's wonderful first encounter and campus life.

Lisa quickly recorded these details, and the tip of her pen made a slight rustling sound on the paper.

"And then?" Professor Bob guided, "What transformation took place?"

Wen Liang's fingers suddenly clenched the towel. "There's a voice... a male voice calling our names..."

Her brows were furrowed. "Just as Bella and I were about to turn back, everything shattered and suddenly plunged into darkness..."

Wenliang's breathing quickened again.

"Hold on, Miss Wen." Professor Bob's voice was as steady as an anchor. "Do you know who the boy is who called you?"

Wen Liang shook his head, "I don't know who it is, but I have a familiar feeling."

"continue."

Wen Liang took a deep breath and forced himself to return to the present. "Then it was...darkness, icy darkness. I felt like I was being held in place, my wrists and ankles...metal objects...a glaring surgical light overhead...and people in protective suits around me, I don't know what they were doing..."

"Miss Wen," Professor Bob adjusted his sitting position, his gray-blue eyes looking at her intently, "are there any familiar features in those images that you find familiar? Any recognizable features?"

Wen Liang tried hard to recall, "No, they were messy and flashed by."

Professor Bob nodded and made a decision: "Okay, let's stop here today. Miss Wen, you've done very well, but going deeper may be beyond your ability today."

Wen Liang nodded, feeling his head heavy.

Her temples were throbbing as if someone were beating a drum inside her skull.

"As usual," Professor Bob handed her an exquisite leather notebook, "I want you to record all the fragments of memory that surfaced today, no matter how fragmentary, including smells, sounds, touches... Any detail may be important, and it will be the same in the future."

"Yes, I will." Wen Liang nodded and asked curiously, "Professor Bob, based on what I saw, does that mean that the male voice might be related to my amnesia?"

Professor Bob rolled his glasses and said seriously, "It's possible. Maybe the owner of this voice was present when you were hypnotized, and you're sensitive to it. Or maybe... it's just a coincidence."

"Okay, I understand."

"We'll take a week off this time. We'll meet here again next weekend at the same time. If there are any special circumstances, I'll let you know."

"good."

After returning to the apartment, Wen Liang felt exhausted and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

I don’t know how long it was before the alarm clock woke Wen Liang up.

Outside the window, the Philadelphia dusk was dyeing the sky orange, casting a warm glow on the white walls of the apartment.

Wen Liang stared at the ceiling for several seconds before realizing that he had slept for a full six hours.

It's already four o'clock in the afternoon.

She made an appointment with Bella yesterday to have dinner together tonight.

Wen Liang struggled to sit up from the bed, the strands of hair on his forehead stuck to his skin by cold sweat.

She took a leisurely shower to wash away her fatigue, blew her hair dry, and put on some simple makeup.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wen Liang went out.

Twenty minutes later, Wen Liang pushed open the glass door of the restaurant.

This small restaurant near the campus has wooden decorations and is always filled with the aroma of baked bread. Bella said that this was the place she and Bella frequented most often when they were in college.

"Fei! Here!" A familiar voice came from the corner, and Bella waved her fork to signal her.

Wen Liang walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Bella, "Good evening, Bella, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just got here too!" Bella smiled and pushed the menu to Wen Liang. "Order whatever you want. Let me tell you, their pasta is their signature dish. Give it a try..."

After ordering, the waiter quickly brought two salads.

Wen Liang said, "Fortunately, my appointment with you is in the evening, otherwise I might not be able to come."

"Why?" Bella asked, knowing she had gone to the doctor this morning. "What did you do this afternoon?"

"Sleeping at home, treatment is a bit brain-consuming."

"How was your treatment? Did you remember anything?"

Wen Liang: "I thought of one thing, like the first time we met, it was in the library, and you helped me open the door."

Bella said in surprise, "Yes! You really remembered it?! It seems that this doctor has some skills. Is there anything else besides this?"

"We used to take long walks along the tree-lined path next to the teaching building. You even played basketball in college, but that's about it."

"We've just started the treatment, you'll definitely remember everything!"

Wen Liang asked, "I still remember that one time when we were walking on the path, a male classmate called us. His voice was quite nice and clear, but it was a pity that I didn't see his face. Do you know who he was?"

Bella held the fork and thought for a moment, "We've been walking so much, I can't remember. But the voice is clear, it must be Kevin."

"Kevin?" Wen Liang felt the name sound familiar, as if Bella had mentioned him to her before.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you? He really likes Country Z culture and pursued you before, but you didn't agree. I remember you mentioned to me that Kevin has a nice voice, but you prefer deeper voices."

Wen Liang remembered.

Bella once said that when she was studying in Philadelphia, Kevin and Huo Dongcheng were the only two boys she had a good relationship with.

Wen Liang asked, "How are they?"

The waiter appeared with the main course, a bright smile on his face again: "Your signature pasta, please enjoy."

"OK, thanks."

After the waiter left, Bella mixed her noodles and said, "He's quite good. He's sunny, cheerful, and helpful. When you rejected him, you told me he was too young and didn't look that mature."

After hearing what Bella said, Wen Liang was not sure whether the darkness during hypnosis was related to the voice.

"Oh...are you still in touch with him now?"

Bella raised her eyebrows and looked at Wen Liang meaningfully, "Why? Do you like this type of him again?"

"No," Wen Liang denied, "I just wanted to see if he could help me remember something."

Bella shrugged. "I don't have much contact with him anymore, but there must be someone among my old classmates who can contact him. I can ask for you."

"Then I'll trouble you."
