Chapter 176: Have you guys... you know... yet?
Pei Yi'an pulled Xu Yihuan's hand away from Tan Zhixu's, looking her up and down with concern.
"Huanhuan, what are you doing at the hospital? Are you hurt somewhere? Is it serious? Why are you so pale?"
Pei Yi'an was wearing a mask, so only her calm and beautiful eyebrows and eyes could be seen. But even just looking at her eyebrows and eyes, the worry in her eyes was already overflowing.
Xu Yihuan felt a warmth in her heart, and her unfocused gaze refocused.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"It's nothing, I was just hit by something falling from a height while I was inspecting the construction site."
"I'm fine. Pei Yuli saved me. Pei Yuli is badly injured. Aunt Pei, please go and see him."
Almost instantly, Xu Yihuan figured out why Pei Yian was there.
Pei Yi'an pulled Xu Yihuan's hand and made her assume a security check position, then circled around Xu Yihuan twice to look at her.
Only after confirming that there were no problems did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're alright."
"Pei Yuli is such a grown man, isn't protecting you his duty?!"
"What's there to worry about? If he shows up beside you and just watches you get hurt, then he deserves to die."
Pei Yi'an was clearly from the capital, but when she spoke these words, her tone carried a hint of the soft, gentle Wu dialect.
The feeling of familiarity suddenly brought tears to Xu Yihuan's eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let Pei Yi'an see it.
So she took a deep breath and tried to say calmly, "Yes, Aunt Pei, you should go and see Pei Yuli. He's quite badly injured."
After confirming that Xu Yihuan was alright, Pei Yi'an should indeed go and see her own son.
Upon hearing this, he said, "Okay, then I'll be going now."
She stared at Xu Yihuan for a few seconds with reluctance, then couldn't help but mutter, "You need to eat more! Look how thin you are..."
Xu Yihuan burst into laughter through her tears, and answered as she had done a thousand times before: "Okay, I understand."
After Pei Yi'an left, Xu Yihuan turned around and followed Tan Zhixu away.
Xu Yihuan's hand, which was holding Tan Zhixu's, gradually warmed up.
Tan Zhixu asked abruptly, "Do you want Auntie to regain her memory?"
Although the cause of Pei Yi'an's amnesia is unknown.
But if I remember correctly, there seems to be an expert in Country M who is conducting experiments on the human brain.
The main focus is on researching the energy storage of human brain memory and the duration of memory retention. However, this technology is not as mature as it is in China.
This is also why Pei Yuli was highly respected in the capital.
The experimental project he participated in is a technology that China rarely surpasses foreign countries in.
Xu Yihuan remained silent.
Just when Tan Zhixu thought he would not hear her response again, Xu Yihuan's voice drifted over.
"I don't know either."
To be honest, I really miss her. My mother, who's grown up, is suddenly gone. Anyone would be devastated.
But the days of true collapse are long gone.
Now, seeing my mother walking with such confidence and looking so spirited on TV...
This seems to be the path a mother should take...
She was starting to feel uncertain again.
Xu Yihuan stared blankly ahead, as if she would disappear at any moment.
Tan Zhixu's heart tightened, and he quickly pulled Xu Yihuan into his arms, gently patting her back.
Once he had calmed down a bit, Tan Zhixu changed the subject, saying, "The May Day holiday is coming soon, and my grandfather said he wants to see you. Do you want to come back with me for the holiday?"
"Huh? I... I'm a little socially anxious," Xu Yihuan stammered.
Why should you have to take responsibility when you're in a relationship?
Tan Zhixu laughed: "There's still a week until May Day. Don't say I didn't tell you. If you don't give me an answer in the last three days, I'll take it as your consent."
Xu Yihuan blinked: "Okay, let me think about it."
Xu Yihuan had been busy with various things lately and hadn't had much time to go back to her dorm, so as soon as she finally returned, Lu Anlan rushed over to her.
"Huanhuan~ What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Yihuan shook her head: "Actually, it's alright, the injury isn't serious."
"How could it not be heavy?! That's a steel bar!"
"Come here, Huanhuan! I've ordered some nourishing soup for you! Drink this quickly. I've heard that you are nourished by what you drink, and I ordered the most nourishing bone broth for you!"
Lu Anlan spoke in a very cute way, sounding like she was being coquettish.
Xu Yihuan couldn't refuse, so she could only listen to Lu Anlan and drink the soup.
While drinking, Xu Yihuan casually asked, "Anlan, what are your plans for the May Day holiday?"
Kyoto University has a five-day May Day holiday, which is considered a short holiday.
"May Day? My mom and I have made plans to go to Venice to ride in a gondola, hehe."
“My mom and I had planned to go before, but I got sick at the time and couldn’t go, so it was delayed.”
"It's just in time to make up for it during this year's May Day holiday."
Once Lu Anlan started talking about these things, he became very talkative.
Xu Yihuan slowly sipped her soup without saying a word, a thousand thoughts flashing through her mind in an instant.
"By the way, Huanhuan, you and my brother have been together for so long, have you two done 'that' yet? What's it like?"
Lu Anlan was a little excited, but after she finished speaking, she realized that she might have offended him, so she immediately waved her hand to explain.
"I...I didn't mean that. I was just asking casually. If you...if you don't want to answer, that's fine too..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan almost spat out the bone broth from her nose.
He coughed repeatedly, choking, "No...cough cough...no!"
"I didn't do anything with him!"
Xu Yihuan's face turned red, and she felt a strange, indescribable feeling in her heart, as if she were itching to get closer.
Actually, she was also a little curious and wanted to chat with Lu Anlan, but her personality prevented her from saying such a thing.
Lu Anlan rested her chin on her hand, a hint of regret in her voice: "I am genuinely curious."
"Speaking of which, baby's arm..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan was stunned, as if struck by lightning. She opened her mouth, but was speechless.
Lu Anlan looked at Xu Yihuan with bright eyes: "Huanhuan, let me tell you, my friend has fallen in love with someone."
Xu Yihuan's face darkened: "You're asking about that already so soon? Did you meet your friend through legitimate channels?"
Lu Anlan chuckled sheepishly.
"Oh no, that's not it..."
Xu Yihuan pretended not to care, but in reality she was listening intently to what Lu Anlan had to say.
The deadly cell phone rang at that moment.
"Oh, it's my maternal grandfather."
"Wait a moment, I need to take this call."
She can throw a tantrum on anyone's phone call, but not her grandfather.
Although her maternal grandfather was strict from a young age, he was genuinely kind to his children.
In recent years, my grandfather's health has been deteriorating, so they can't afford to go against him.
"Hey old man, what do you want?"
Lu Anlan was thinking one thing, but when he answered the phone, he became an old man again.
"I heard you're going to Venice for the May Day holiday?"
"What's wrong? Are you coming with us too?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're not allowed to go! Your brother said he's bringing his girlfriend home for May Day, so you need to stay home and meet your sister-in-law!"
Lu Anlan's phone was on speakerphone, and Grandpa Tan's voice could be heard very clearly in the air.
Xu Yihuan suddenly felt awkward.
