Chapter 404: One More Indifferent Than the Other



Shao Jingque tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She never dreamed that she would see Lu Zhan again today.

Even though she was very cold towards Lu Zhan all night, in fact, only she knew how fast her heart was beating.

My brain was hot when I was eating just now, but now that I have calmed down and thought about it, I can guess that tonight's dinner was definitely not an accident.

Apart from her, Lu Qiuya and Lu Zhan were too calm.

Especially Lu Zhan. His appearance was surprising enough to her, but what surprised her even more was that he seemed...

Been trying to be awkward with her?

Shao Jingque couldn't quite believe her feelings, but she had to admit that Lu Zhan tonight reminded her of the time when they first met. At that time, he had also expressed his affection for her in a clumsy way like tonight.

And tonight, she was actually amused several times...

I thought I had prepared myself mentally to let go of the past completely, but in fact, I had already started to feel a little loose when I had that meal with Song Yangyu in Jingshi.

She later took time out to go to the Beijing Library to borrow books and materials on related topics. She read many medical and psychology books and periodicals related to amnesia, and she actually found the hypnosis mentioned by Song Yangyu.

After careful research, she found that self-hypnosis is indeed not an easy task, but it is not impossible.

Assuming that Lu Zhan really chose to forget her deliberately, then what he would most likely do is the self-hypnosis mentioned in the book to induce motivated amnesia.

This is an active memory suppression behavior. He uses the inhibitory control mechanism, combined with enhanced self-suggestion in a hypnotic state, to gradually reconstruct the self-narrative to achieve the deconstruction of the memory traces of specific characters.

To achieve this, the person needs to have extremely strong willpower and self-control, and doing so is likely to bring serious potential consequences, such as cognitive confusion, emotional blunting, somatization, hippocampal atrophy, etc.

However, after experiments by many scientists, it was found that only one person can truly achieve self-hypnosis.

Regardless of whether Lu Zhan was the one in a million, Shao Jingque couldn't understand his motive for doing this.

We had agreed to get married after returning from disaster relief, so why did he deliberately forget her?

He had completely forgotten her, so of course he wouldn't feel sad about it, but what about her?

When he was doing this, did he ever think about how much of an impact this would have on her and whether she could bear it?

Now she had finally adjusted herself and made up her mind not to dwell on the past, to let go of everything and look forward, but he just happened to show up at this moment!

The more Shao Jingque thought about it, the more depressed he felt. He felt his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he simply got up and went downstairs to get a glass of water.

The living room was pitch black, and Shao Jingque walked towards the kitchen in the dark with light footsteps.

Suddenly a voice came from the sofa, startling her:

"I looked, and there's nothing to eat in the kitchen."

Shao Jingque immediately turned on the light in the living room, and then saw Qi Shengzhi lying on the sofa with his hands behind his head, looking dejected. It was obvious that he must have had a quarrel with Yingzi again.

With the previous experience as a lesson, she didn't want to ask about the matter between the two of them, and just answered casually:

"I just came down to get a glass of water."

Before returning to No. 1 Wuhuai Street, Qi Shengzhi gave himself the excuse that he forgot to take away a few bottles of good wine from the wine cabinet, but he didn't expect to be turned away for an hour when he returned.

This was all because when he left in a huff the night before, in order to appear decisive, he impulsively slammed his keys on the desk.

After entering the house just now, he wanted to go back to the room to get the key, but found that the door was locked by Yue Feiying. He suddenly felt ashamed and angry. Obviously, Yue Feiying had predicted his subsequent actions. Maybe she was not at home tonight on purpose!

He shamelessly found an excuse to come back, just to see her, but she deliberately avoided him and locked him outside.

Qi Shengzhi couldn't understand why it was so difficult for him to understand why the two of them seemed to be in completely opposite positions now, when he should be the one angry.

He felt aggrieved, and when he saw Shao Jingque coming down the stairs, he couldn't help but want to talk to her.

After all, according to his own observations during this period, Shao Jingque is the one who knows Yue Feiying best, and she is also the person Yue Feiying cares about most.

It's true that he likes Yue Feiying, but most of the time he feels that he can't understand her. Even if Yue Feiying expresses her views clearly word by word, he can't understand. This makes Qi Shengzhi very confused.

But at this time, Shao Jingque was obviously not in the mood to pay attention to him. He silently poured himself a glass of water, drank it, and prepared to turn around and go upstairs.

Qi Shengzhi sat up from the sofa in annoyance. He felt that this pair of good friends really had similar temperaments, and one was more indifferent than the other!

I clearly saw him so depressed, hiding in the darkness and licking his wounds silently, but I could actually bear to ignore him and walked past him as if nothing had happened, without even saying a word!

"Could that person at the door just now be Lu Zhan?"

Just ignore him, right?

Of course he could find words to make Shao Jingque pay attention to him. He was often used to hurting people and was an expert!

Shao Jingque, who had just reached the stairs, stopped and looked back at him:

"What's the problem?"

Qi Shengzhi curled his lips and frowned in annoyance:

"He just asked me if I lived here too..."

Shao Jingque's heart skipped a beat. She and Ding Ling were used to living here and just thought of themselves as staying at a close friend's house, completely ignoring the fact that in the eyes of others, Qi Shengzhi was also living under the same roof with them.

She had a bad feeling in her heart:

"So what did you say?"

Qi Shengzhi raised a vicious smile:

"Me? Of course I told the truth. I said—this is my home!"

Shao Jingque took a deep breath, without even thinking about how Lu Zhan would misunderstand him when he heard what he said.

For a moment, Shao Jingque's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his cheeks turned red unconsciously, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

When Qi Shengzhi saw Shao Jingque like this, he knew that she must be angry with him, and he waited calmly for Shao Jingque to come to him to question her.

Anyway, he was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep even though he was hungry. It was better to find someone to quarrel with and vent his negative emotions than to keep it in alone.

Unexpectedly, Shao Jingque took a few deep breaths, turned around and walked upstairs without saying a word.

Seeing that she actually turned around and left, Qi Shengzhi stood up from the sofa and said angrily:

"Aren't you worried that he might misunderstand?"

Shao Jingque stopped and turned to look at Qi Shengzhi, his eyes were colder than he had ever seen before:

"I only worry about the people I care about. Have you ever seen Yingzi worrying about you misunderstanding her?"
