Chapter 159 Extra Chapter: Restoring Memory
In the second year after marriage, Wen Ci still had not recovered her memory before the car accident.
But life is also very happy.
Xie Peizhou was very kind to her, gentle and considerate, and there were basically no conflicts between the two after marriage.
Xie Peizhou said: "The Xie family tradition has always been like this. After marriage, the husband listens to major matters and the wife listens to minor matters. The wife has the final say on matters big or small."
Nian Nian was also well-behaved and obedient. In September, the little girl successfully carried a small schoolbag and became a primary school student.
Wen Ci's career is also developing very well. Last year, she collaborated with Yu Zheng on a movie, which won major awards in the film industry and made her one of the youngest and most powerful female directors in the country.
Wen Ci is very satisfied with her current life, but she has also been receiving brain memory treatment, looking forward to recovering her lost memories one day.
Without the memories of the past twenty years, she sometimes feels really confused. She always feels that her life only started from the day she woke up in the hospital. Now all the happy life is like a castle hanging high in the sky, but without a solid emotional foundation to support it.
She often asked Xie Peizhou, "Do you like the me before or the me now more?"
But no matter how Xie Peizhou answered, Wen Ci seemed to feel a little regretful.
One day, everyone had a rare holiday.
Xie Yiyi invited Wen Ci's family to go shopping and have dinner in the "Four Happiness Meatballs" group.
After lunch, the five of them strolled around the Lama Temple.
Wen Ci looked at the bustling gate of the Yonghe Palace. Although she settled in Beijing, she had hardly visited the city's attractions in the past two years.
Xie Yiyi suggested, "Why don't we buy a ticket and go in for a look."
The few of them were just going shopping and taking a walk, so it didn't matter where they went, so they bought tickets and walked in.
Lu Bingchen smiled gently and said, "I heard that making wishes in Lama Temple is very strange."
Wen Niannian held Wen Ci in one hand and Xie Peizhou in the other, and raised her little face to look at him in confusion, "Godfather, why is it so weird? Is there a monster in there?"
Wen Ci looked at the Buddha statues and the devout tourists in the palace, also curious. "What's so weird about this? With so many tourists worshipping and making wishes, it must be very effective, right?"
Lu Bingchen curled his lips, "It's very 'spiritual'. The weird thing is the 'spiritual' part. People on the internet say that when making a wish at Lama Temple, they only care about the result, not the process."
Xie Yiyi also recalled a joke she had seen online, and echoed Lu Bingchen's sentiments. "I remember a time when a netizen wished to be single, and then got hit by a car."
"ah"
Wen Ci glanced at Xie Peizhou, who was also bewildered. Both the couple found it outrageous. What was the connection between being hit by a car and being single?
Xie Yiyi: "Later, she started dating her surgeon."
Wen Ci: “…”
Xie Peizhou chuckled, "Let's go and take a look."
The five of them walked into the hall while talking and chatting.
Although everyone is a materialist, the Chinese have always believed that "if you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't exist." No one dares to act rashly after entering a Buddhist temple.
Wen Ci lit a stick of incense and looked at the people. "Since we're here, don't you want to make a wish?"
Xie Yiyi shook his head and said, "Let's just forget it."
Wen Niannian asked curiously, "Mommy, do you want to make a wish?"
Wen Ci held the incense and looked around at everyone one by one: her daughter, Xie Peizhou, Xie Yiyi and Lu Bingchen. Her friendship with these people was accumulated over the past two years, but these people's love for her lasted for many, many years.
Wen Ci is also a staunch materialist, but today he really wants to try whether the Lama Temple is really so "effective".
Wen Ci smiled and said, "Make a wish, I hope I can recover my memory."
After the worship, several people came out of the Buddhist temple.
After walking around inside and out, Wen Ci just stepped out of the gate of Yonghe Palace and walked on the flat floor, her foot was inexplicably "tripped", and she fell directly to the ground, hitting her forehead heavily on the stone bricks at the door.
"Aci!"
Xie Peizhou was walking beside her and didn't have time to help him.
When she reacted, blood was flowing from Wen Ci's forehead.
"It hurts so much..." Wen Ci groaned.
A piercing pain came from the wound, and I felt a black screen in front of my eyes, and my brain made a buzzing sound.
I could vaguely hear Xie Peizhou's hurried and nervous voice, "Hurry, go to the hospital..."
Afterwards, the consciousness seemed to sink into an endless abyss and all sensory perceptions were lost.
At some point, Wen Ci "woke up" and felt like she was dreaming again.
She turned into a little girl, found herself in a beautiful back garden, flying a kite alone.
She knows a lot of things.
For example, who are you, what is your name, how old are you, and where are you now.
"Xiaoci, run slower!"
She turned around and saw a young couple. She ran over happily and hugged the man's thighs, "Dad, Mom!"
"Xiaoci, look at you running, you're all sweaty."
Wen Zhenghua picked her up, took the handkerchief his wife handed him, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and said gently, "Dad has to go out later to pick up one of Dad's junior students for dinner. Xiaoci, you have to be good and call them later, understand?"
She nodded obediently, "Yes, I am the most polite child."
Wen Zhenghua smiled lovingly and put her back on the ground. "Go ahead, fly your kite by yourself. Stay away from the osmanthus tree. Don't let the kite fall into the tree, otherwise you won't be able to get it down."
But that's the nature of children.
The more you tell her no, the more she wants to try it.
After the adults left, she deliberately ran towards the osmanthus tree with the kite. Several times the kite was almost caught in the treetops, but the wind easily blew the thin string away.
The little girl was relieved but also confused, why couldn't she hang it up?
Finally, after many attempts, the kite was finally hung on the tree branch.
But she was too short, and even if she jumped and danced, she couldn't take the kite down, and she was exhausted and sweating.
"Bad kite, fall down by yourself!"
She kicked the trunk of the osmanthus tree angrily, but her little strength was not enough to shake the osmanthus tree that had grown for many years, and she staggered back two steps.
Just as she was about to get angry, a big hand pressed against her back as she retreated.
She turned around and saw a handsome older brother in a white shirt holding her back. He stretched out his slender hands and easily took the kite down from the tree branch.
"Kite, here you go."
Obviously at this time, she didn't know Xie Peizhou yet.
But she knew very well in her heart that this tall, cold and handsome big brother was Xie Peizhou.
It was Xie Peizhou who shone a beam of light on her face, illuminating her dark life, on that desperate, cold and rainy night when she was thirteen years old.
It was Xie Peizhou who had been so attentive and gentle to her during the five years he had lived in the Xie family.
It was her first love, she secretly had a crush on him, secretly liked him, and finally bravely confessed her feelings to him but was ruthlessly rejected by him, who was so heartless and restrained that he drove her out of the country.
It was also after she returned to China with her daughter that she repeatedly hid away from him, but he kept pressing on. Even though he didn't know his daughter's identity, he was willing to take care of them and their mother, and gave her unlimited sense of security with his actions and love. It was Xie Peizhou.
…
"Aci, wake up, please wake up."
In the dark fog, Xie Peizhou's familiar voice seemed to come from a distance.
"Don't sleep, Aci."
"Wake up, Aci."
"Aci, Aci..."
His voice was getting closer and closer, Wen Ci's heart beat faster, and she tried hard to open her eyes and see him.
"Aci, Aci, you finally woke up!"
In her hazy vision, Wen Ci saw Xie Peizhou's red eyes, and he hugged her tightly with joy.
"Thank you, Peizhou."
Wen Ci's head still hurt, but the corners of her pale mouth curled up, "I remember everything, Xie Peizhou."
