After dumping the poor tycoon, Zeng Xiaoxia quickly brought back news that no one had visited the entire building last night.
Qi An'an breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little confused. Did her parents not want her anymore?
But the fact that she can afford to stay in such a nursing home shows that they do love her, right?
She grabbed Xiao Hei and asked, but Xiao Hei looked completely bewildered. It was bound to her; it had been dormant during the five years she was in a coma, and it could no longer automatically retrieve and associate information.
However, one can take practical steps and inquire through multiple channels.
Qi An'an then learned that her parents had divorced six months ago and had a very unpleasant falling out, which led them to neglect her.
The Qi family is one of the most prestigious families in Rongcheng. Her parents were brought together by an arranged marriage. On the surface, they treated each other with respect, but in private, they had many arguments.
Therefore, Qi An'an didn't have much of a reaction to her parents' divorce.
She also has a younger brother who is five years younger than her. He is very well-behaved and quiet, but she hasn't spent much time with him.
The employees of the Quick Transmigration Bureau enter the mission world using their original bodies, but their identities are modified and generated by the system.
Aside from necessary social interactions, Qi An'an habitually keeps her distance from people other than those she is tasked with.
This is also a very important part of the employee handbook.
Her current task is to heal Gu Shi, who has suffered psychological trauma because of her, to resolve his resentment, and to allow the world to develop normally.
The afternoon sun of late autumn falls on the windowsill, warm and dry, while slow, soothing music plays from the speakers by the bed.
Qi An'an leaned against the headboard, quietly looking out the window.
She had just finished a routine massage and was now radiating a relaxed and languid aura.
The weather was so nice that she couldn't stay still, so she got out of bed.
Having been unconscious for so long, she was weak and her limbs were somewhat clumsy.
It took her five minutes to move herself into the wheelchair, and a thin layer of sweat had already formed on her forehead.
She turned her wheelchair to the window, stood up with her hands on the windowsill, and peered out.
The setting sun cast its light upon her, filling her oversized pink hospital gown with the wind and causing it to billow, while her shoulder-length hair was blown about wildly.
A black, furry ball the size of a fist gripped her collar tightly.
Looking out from this window, you can see a spacious garden.
Further away, there seem to be basketball courts, badminton courts, and an outdoor swimming pool.
Under the towering camphor trees in the garden, several elderly men were playing chess together, enjoying a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.
Qi An'an sensed a strong gaze, like a sharp blade scraping across her, making it impossible for her to ignore.
She leaned forward, her gaze sweeping across the bustling garden, finally spotting a tall figure beside the camphor tree.
However, she overestimated her balance. After seeing the person clearly, she got so excited that she almost fell out of the window.
"An'an, be careful!" Xiao Hei's fur stood on end, the black fur extending infinitely as if it were alive, grabbing her hair and pulling her back with all its might.
Qi An'an took a breath, steadied herself on the windowsill, and stepped back slightly.
When she looked down again, the man's figure was still there; it was Gu Shi.
If it weren't for his face, Qi An'an probably wouldn't have recognized him.
A black shirt appears mature and composed, but it also gives off a strong sense of distance.
Even though it was the same face, his expression was cold and indifferent, without a trace of his former self.
The sunlight was soft and warm, but he stood in the shadow of the camphor tree, as if he couldn't blend into the world of light.
This reminded Qi An'an of the last time she saw him at Qingfeng Mountain.
For her, it had only been a few days, but the reality was that the hurt she had caused him had been deeply etched in his heart for five years.
Regardless, she was definitely the one in the wrong.
But why is he here?
Qi An'an raised her hand in his direction, "A-Shi!"
Gu Shi naturally did not respond.
From the fifth floor, Qi An'an couldn't see his eyes clearly, but she waved to him again, looking somewhat anxious.
She wanted to tell him to wait for her, that she would go down to find him now, but when she opened her throat, she found it hurt terribly.
Perhaps she was too excited just now, and she felt a little dizzy for a moment.
Several elderly men playing chess downstairs heard the commotion and looked up, only to be quite startled by the scene.
The pale, slender girl clung to the window, her upper body hanging outside, as if a gust of wind would blow her down!
"This little girl is too fierce!"
One of the bald old men noticed the young man next to him and waved, "Hey, young man, is she your friend? Tell her to go back quickly, it's too dangerous!"
"Yes, yes, I hope you don't fall!"
Gu Shi seemed not to hear, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his cold eyes fixed on the figure.
Even as the figure was pulled away by a hand, he maintained the posture of slightly tilting his head back.
Seeing his unfriendly expression, the older man couldn't help but scrutinize him a few more times, whispering to his old friend.
"Maybe the young couple had a fight? This guy has been standing here for a while."
"I remember a very pretty little girl woke up in the courtyard, was it the one from earlier...?"
"Probably. There are several other people in this building who are in a coma like her, but they aren't as lucky as her."
...
Ten minutes later, Qi An'an was pushed by Zeng Xiaoxia to the camphor tree, but Gu Shi was nowhere to be seen.
However, his presence here is certainly not a coincidence.
He must have known she had woken up immediately, which is why he came to see her.
Qi An'an looked down at her left hand, where the bruises on her slender white wrist were particularly noticeable, looking as if they had been squeezed by someone.
"He must still love me very much," Qi An'an concluded.
"...Where do you get your confidence?" Little Black wasn't trying to discourage her; it just wanted her to see reality: "After you insulted him and dumped him."
Qi An'an: "..."
"Could it be that he knew I had woken up and wanted to kill me?"
Xiao Hei remained silent for a long time before saying, "An'an, Gu Shi did indeed have murderous intent towards you just now."
Qi An'an was exasperated. "Why did he run off without even listening to my explanation?"
Xiao Hei: "How do you explain that?"
She thought for a moment and said, "I've been in a coma for five years, so it doesn't seem unreasonable for me to lose some of my memory, does it?"
But she quickly dismissed the idea, "No, no, he'll definitely be able to tell."
"Sigh." Little Black looked so sad that he almost had a bitter face.
Each person, with their own system, gazed at the orange-red sunset and sighed in unison.
The most important thing now is to get my body back in good shape; otherwise, I'll be out of breath after just a few steps and won't be able to do anything.
When Qi An'an was taken back to her room, she was shocked to find that the window had been welded with security bars!
Is the sanatorium really that fast?
Zeng Xiaoxia was also somewhat shocked, "But it's good this way, you almost fell just now, that was terrifying."
Qi An'an casually asked, "Is it installed in the entire building?"
Zeng Xiaoxia glanced out the window and said, "Yes, all the rooms where people live have been fitted with them."
Qi An'an nodded and didn't take it to heart.
That night, she just closed her eyes but didn't really fall asleep; when she got sleepy, she would pinch her own palms.
However, she could only stay up until 1 a.m., after which she couldn't resist the sleepiness and slept soundly.
But before she went to sleep, she remembered to have Xiao □□ watch over her.
Let's see if Gu Shi has come.
The next morning, Xiao Hei told her, "No, Gu Shi didn't come."
For several days in a row, this was the result.
On the fifth day after Qi An'an woke up, she finally met Jiang Mei, her biological mother, who rushed over.
The room was filled with a rich perfume scent. Looking at the jewel-encrusted lady in front of her, Qi An'an gained a profound understanding of the past five years.
Jiang Mei is getting old, and cosmetic procedures can't erase the lines around her eyes.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and an awkward atmosphere spread. Finally, Jiang Mei spoke first, "An'an, is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Five years is neither a long nor a short time.
So much happened in the Qi family during this time that she didn't know how to tell her daughter right away.
Six months ago, she divorced Qi Dong. They fought over shares, property, and their son, but no one fought for their daughter who was in a vegetative state.
She was busy with her lawsuit against Qi Dong at the time. When the people from the sanatorium called her to remind her to pay the fees, she was still angry and told them to contact Qi Dong directly. After that, she never cared about the matter again.
After all, her daughter came from her womb, so how could Jiang Mei not love her? But no matter how much love she had, it couldn't overcome reality.
The doctor said that the chances of An'an waking up are extremely slim, and it will cost tens of millions of yuan a year.
Jiang Mei hadn't received much money to begin with, so she didn't really want to bear that expense.
For the past six months, she has subconsciously forgotten about this matter.
She felt that since her daughter had been given to Qi Dong, he wouldn't abandon her.
Qi An'an was unaware of Jiang Mei's complex feelings. She replied, "The doctor said I'm recovering well."
Of course, the system also helps repair the body.
Jiang Mei looked at her daughter's pale face and repeated, "Yes, that's good, that's good."
An An's face looks much thinner, but her charm remains undiminished, and she even has a touch of sickly beauty.
Jiang Mei reached out and held her daughter's hand, and the maternal love that had been absent from her heart for a long time rekindled.
However, the thought that An'an was still under the Qi family's name made Jiang Mei feel uneasy again.
After a moment of silence in the room, Qi An'an said, "Mom, can I have a cell phone?"
Jiang Mei snapped out of her daze and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, I'll go buy it for you in a bit."
"Okay." Seeing her mother's restless appearance, Qi An'an said softly, "Mom, if you have something to do, you can go first. I won't take up your time."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mei became anxious. "An'an, are you angry with your mother? Did your father say something to you?"
Qi An'an: "No, I haven't seen my father yet, and the nursing home can't contact him either."
The word "也" here is somewhat subtle.
Jiang Mei choked, her face flushed slightly. She softened her tone and said, "That's probably because you're busy. I haven't been able to get away lately either... An'an, is there anything you're missing? I'll bring it to you."
My daughter still needs to continue her rehabilitation training. During this time, I will spend a lot of time with her to make up for the six months we missed...
Qi An'an shook her head.
Jiang Mei changed the subject a few more times to comfort her before leaving the room.
She was furious when she learned that Qi Dong had not paid his medical bills for several months, but then she had another idea.
Since Qi Dong doesn't want to get involved, then from today onwards, the daughter will naturally stay with her.
In the evening, Jiang Mei brought Qi An'an a cell phone and a few sets of casual clothes.
Qi An'an had never heard her mention the divorce, so naturally she didn't bring it up herself.
After Jiang Mei left, Qi An'an picked up her phone and entered the only phone number she remembered.
After deleting and rewriting, she edited a text message and sent it.
—Ah Shi, you didn't agree to break up, so we...
