"Well, thanks, Xiao Li. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
Xiao Li took out two pieces of paper from his bag and handed them to him.
"This is the bill. I've already paid. It's nothing else. I'll go to work first. You know I can't be away for too long."
Gu Rongzheng took the list and nodded again.
"I understand. Go back now."
Holding the list, Gu Rongzheng looked at it carefully.
The medicine prescribed was all nutrient solution, nothing else, but the name written on the payment receipt was actually his. When Gu Rongzheng saw this, he couldn't help laughing.
"This Xiao Li..."
At this moment, the woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
What caught her eye was Gu Rongzheng's profile as he lowered his head to look at the receipt. Seeing this face, she was stunned at first.
Then he immediately remembered why he came here, and pretended to twist his body as if he had just woken up.
Noticing the movement on the bed, Gu Rongzheng opened his eyes wide and looked over, his tone full of joy of reunion.
"Chu Chu, are you awake? How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"
Looking at those sincere eyes, the beautiful woman pretended to be surprised for a moment, and then uttered a few words in a hoarse voice.
"You... who are you?"
"I almost forgot. You haven't seen my face before. When I was on a mission before, I always wore a human skin mask. You should remember my name. My name is Panshi. Do you remember Panshi?"
The beautiful woman rubbed her injured head, which was wrapped in dark blue gauze with some dried blood stains on the outside of the gauze. She looked anxious, as if she had forgotten many things.
"Rock? What are you talking about? Who are you?"
"Who am I? Do you know me?"
Hearing this, Gu Rongzheng was stunned at first. Looking at her head wrapped in gauze, he immediately thought of something and quickly ran out of the ward.
"Doctor, doctor! Come and see this patient."
The doctor in the clinic heard Gu Rongzheng's scream and quickly ran to the ward with a stethoscope.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Bringing the doctor back to the bedside, Gu Rongzheng gave instructions while looking at the woman on the bed with concern.
"Doctor, why doesn't she remember anything? Did she get hurt in the head? Please take a look at her."
"What? Amnesia? That shouldn't be the case..."
He had checked when he came just now. The woman's wound was on the head, but the wound was not deep. The impact that caused her to faint was not that strong, so it would not cause her to lose her memory.
The doctor can only order a series of tests.
However, after a complete set of checks, the cause could not be found.
"I checked her basic condition and found nothing abnormal. Our hospital doesn't have the equipment to check her brain condition, so I can only guess."
"I think..." The doctor looked back at the confused beautiful woman and returned to the topic.
"When she first arrived, the wound on her head was bleeding. I guess it was the impact on her head when she fainted that caused her amnesia."
She lost her memory just after they met, and Gu Rongzheng felt bad and uncomfortable.
"Amnesia? Can this be cured? When will it be restored?"
"The main problem with her memory loss is that she hit her head. In this situation, some people can recover in three days, some in three years, some in thirty years, and some never recover in their entire lives."
"Of course, these aren't absolutes. If you want to help her regain her memory, you could take her to some familiar places and tell her about some past events. That might help, but I can't guarantee she'll be able to remember them."
Looking at the confused woman on the bed, Gu Rongzheng opened his mouth, but some words remained unsaid.
After the doctor left, he said, "You heard what the doctor said just now. He said you have lost your memory. Since you don't remember anything, I will tell you the story between us, okay?"
The woman on the bed blinked and nodded silently.
Gu Rongzheng chuckled, covered her with the quilt, sat beside her, and looked at the mottled leaves outside the window. Memories came to him with the swaying shadows of the trees.
"My name is Gu Rongzheng, a soldier. When we first met, I was on an undercover mission in a gang. I had finally made it to the position of the third in command. You were accidentally caught by some thugs and were almost raped. You were young and helpless, so you cried all over your face. I felt sorry for you, so I told the gang boss that I was in need of a woman, so I asked for you by name. Tell me, you are Chuchu."
Gu Rongzheng withdrew his gaze from the window and returned to the beautiful woman's face.
"I originally thought I'd find an opportunity to let you go after a bit more time. Unexpectedly, one time when I went to discuss business, I was drugged by the rival. The boss brought me back. I almost lost my mind at the time, and we... had sex."
