Chapter 85 A Dramatic Change in Personality
Yun Zhaozhao twitched her fingers, and after a while, she pressed the answer button. She didn't notice that her voice was trembling slightly.
"Assistant Qin!"
"Miss Yun, Mr. Pei is awake."
"Awake?" Yun Zhaozhao let out a slight breath. Indeed, there's a reason why evil people live for thousands of years.
"Then you should take good care of him."
As Yun Zhaozhao was about to hang up, she heard Assistant Qin say anxiously, "Miss Yun, there's been a slight problem. Could you please come to the hospital?"
Yun Zhaozhao wasn't really keen on going; she didn't know what kind of trouble Pei Jiuyan was up to, until Xing Shangye came to her door in person.
"He finally woke up with great difficulty, there was only a one in ten thousand chance. You can't let him torture himself to death again, can you?"
Xing Shangye looked extremely troubled: "Really, please, only you can handle this."
"I'm not a doctor, nor a police officer, what can I do?"
"But he only remembers you now."
Xing Shangye felt heartbroken as he spoke. In fact, he had known Pei Jiuyan before Yun Zhaozhao, but that heartless woman didn't even recognize him anymore.
Yun Zhaozhao didn't believe Xing Shangye's words, but she couldn't resist his constant nagging, so she went to the hospital in the end. She didn't believe in amnesia; if she really had amnesia, she wouldn't only remember her.
This is the latest trouble he's caused, right before they're about to get their marriage certificate after the New Year.
It's no wonder Yun Zhaozhao speculated with the utmost malice, given Pei Jiuyan's numerous past offenses. But the moment she saw Pei Jiuyan, she knew it was all true.
“Zhaozhao”.
Upon seeing Yun Zhaozhao, Pei Jiuyan's eyes lit up, but when he saw Xing Shangye beside her, his gaze turned cold, as if it had been poisoned.
"Who are you? Stay away from Zhaozhao."
Xing Shangye: "...I'm fucking impressed. I've told you so many times, I'm your buddy, Xing Shangye, Xing Shangye."
Pei Jiuyan gave him a probing look, as if judging the truth of his words, but only for a moment before he stopped caring about Xing Shangye and only had eyes for Yun Zhaozhao.
"Zhaozhao, why are you so late? Why am I in the hospital? Who are they?"
Pei Jiuyan asked in bewilderment. This was the first time Yun Zhaozhao had truly witnessed Pei Jiuyan's dramatic change in expression. At this moment, she finally believed what Zhou Xiao and the others had said about Pei Jiuyan's double standards. It turned out that he really treated her differently from others.
"Zhaozhao, I don't like it here, let's go home."
"Which home are you going back to?"
Yun Zhaozhao suddenly asked.
"Of course it's our home, right near Tianxin Bridge. Zhao Zhao, what's wrong?"
Pei Jiuyan asked cautiously.
Why do you say that's our home?
Yun Zhaozhao felt something was off. Tianxin Bridge was Pei Jiuyan's small apartment, where he used to live when they were dating.
“That was our home to begin with. We lived there after we got married, didn’t we? We also have a dog son named Pei Xiaobao.”
"Zhaozhao, what's wrong? Don't scare me."
Pei Jiuyan looked visibly nervous, while Yun Zhaozhao looked shocked.
Then, she asked a few more questions and discovered that Pei Jiuyan hadn't lost his memory; to be precise, he had changed his self-perception.
In his mind, there were no documents, no Pei's mother, not even her family, no such friends, only the two of them and Pei Xiaobao. He wasn't some fearsome Ninth Master Pei, and she wasn't some princess of the Beijing elite circle. They were just two ordinary people, struggling together in this city, and they even had a little dog.
No wonder Assistant Qin and the others couldn't handle it; she couldn't handle this situation either.
Yun Zhaozhao felt she needed to eat something icy to calm down, so she called Zhou Yueming for help.
She prayed that all of this was an act by Pei Jiuyan, a trick of his, but Yue Ming's words disappointed her.
“It’s not an act; he has a typical cognitive impairment problem.”
“He was on the verge of death before, and his subconscious reaction caused a problem with his cognition. You could say that his current cognition is the life he most desires, the life he hopes for.”
"His personality will also change a lot, and he may be different from his usual self."
Yun Zhaozhao rubbed her temples. She thought it was good that Pei Jiuyan had woken up, but who knew that an even more worrying problem would arise.
When will he get better?
"I don't know. The human brain is strange. Sometimes you might wake up and be fine, while other times you might never be fine."
Zhou Yueming looked at Yun Zhaozhao with sympathy. Who would have thought that she would encounter such a terrible thing during the New Year?
Just when it seemed the two would have no further connection after the New Year, Pei Jiuyan suddenly had a huge bowel movement.
Yun Zhaozhao was also annoyed. Pei Jiuyan couldn't understand human speech to begin with, and now he was even more unable to speak clearly.
In the end, Yun Zhaozhao could only ask Zhou Yueming to help her find the most authoritative neurosurgeons in China and abroad; she didn't know what else to do.
"What are your plans to do about Pei Jiuyan?"
Zhou Yueming asked.
"Let Assistant Qin think of a solution."
Yun Zhaozhao said irritably that she wouldn't care, she would never care even if you killed her.
The imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. She didn't say goodbye to Pei Jiuyan and was preparing to leave quietly, but Pei Jiuyan somehow found out that she was leaving and chased after her.
“Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao”.
Hearing the shouts behind her, Yun Zhaozhao walked quickly. She couldn't help but turn around when she heard the exclamations behind her. Her eyes narrowed as she saw Pei Jiuyan running out in a thin hospital gown. Moreover, the wound on his lower abdomen had reopened, and blood was gushing out, soaking the hospital gown. However, he seemed not to feel any pain and was running towards her as desperately as possible.
He had been freezing in the snow for too long last night, and many parts of his body were frostbitten. His limbs were not flexible, and he walked with difficulty. Even so, he did not give up and kept running desperately.
Yun Zhaozhao turned around and got into the car with a heavy heart. She saw Pei Jiuyan chasing after her in the rearview mirror, falling down again and again and getting up again.
Yun Zhaozhao felt terrible. She could be indifferent to the cunning and utterly deceitful Pei Jiuyan, but she couldn't be so dismissive of a naive person.
“Zhaozhao”.
Pei Jiuyan lay on the ground, unable to get up. He didn't know why Yun Zhaozhao left, why she abandoned him.
Aren't they only together? Why doesn't Zhao Zhao want him anymore?
