As Ye Zhan spoke, a happy smile spread across his face. He slowly opened his heart and told me his past stories.
"Then it was Su Wan." Ye Zhan said with a grin, "Haozi, thank you for introducing Su Wan to me. Su Wan is a very kind-hearted girl, although she has a big mouth, but I like girls who are carefree."
I found that when Ye Zhan talked about his past love affairs, he actually ignored Qi Siyu, as if this person had never existed.
"Ye Zhan..."
"What?"
"Didn't you and Qi Siyu also have a relationship?" I looked at Ye Zhan seriously, hoping to hear the truth and prevent him from falling into that strange nightmare again. I concluded that it must be a painful past for Ye Zhan. I didn't want to expose Ye Zhan's scars, but I needed to know the truth so that I could prescribe the right medicine and negotiate with the seven dragons and six phoenixes.
Fortunately, Ye Zhan still looked very calm, and said with a smile: "Qi Siyu? Didn't I tell you? We were in love for a short period of time, but later I couldn't stand her stubbornness and willfulness, so we broke up. There's nothing much to say."
I looked at Ye Zhan seriously, or I should say, I stared at Ye Zhan. I realized that Ye Zhan was using a method similar to "self-defense" to wrap up his heart, temporarily sealing up the painful memories. Because I couldn't see any lies in his eyes, as if the matter was really as simple and easy as he said.
But I knew that was not the case, otherwise the Seven Dragons and Six Phoenixes would not have treated him like that, and he would not have fallen into a nightmare in the classroom. I couldn't wait to know the truth, so I said seriously: "Ye Zhan, I want to know the truth."
"What's the truth?" Ye Zhan asked me with a frown.
"About you and Qi Siyu." I said word by word, "I want to know what happened between you two."
"We...we..." Ye Zhan's breathing became a little rapid, and at the same time he hit his head hard with his fist.
"What's going on?!" I quickly grabbed Ye Zhan's hand and said anxiously: "Ye Zhan, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. I won't force you." I was very worried that Ye Zhan would fall into that state of dementia again. That incident had such a profound impact on him.
"No, no." Ye Zhan shook his head: "Haozi, I don't want to hide it from you. I want to tell you the truth."
"Then just tell me." I looked at him strangely.
"But I can't remember it." Ye Zhan hit his head: "I only remember that I did something that was extremely wrong to Qi Siyu. I know that I was ridiculously wrong, exaggeratedly wrong, and abominable. Because of that incident, I locked myself in the room for the entire summer after graduating from junior high school; because of that incident, Qilong Liufeng and I became enemies."
"How come you can't remember it?" I looked at Ye Zhan in astonishment, totally unable to believe that such a thing could happen.
"I don't know either." Ye Zhan tapped his head. "I think I know about that incident. It's hidden deep in my mind, very clearly, but I just can't remember it for some reason. Sometimes some fragments flash by, but I still can't connect them together as a whole, as if I have amnesia. But I always tell myself very clearly in my heart that I did something wrong, I am sorry for Qi Siyu, and I should apologize to her. But for some reason, I feel a sense of rejection when I see her, as if it is a natural instinct in my body."
"You just said there would be some flashes? Which ones?"
"The blood on the floor, the dirty sheets, the worn-out TV, the squeaking fan." Ye Zhan said, "and Qi Siyu's terrified face. I don't know what happened. Every time these fragments flash through my mind, it's like my soul is being sucked away. I sweat all over and it takes a long time to recover."
I asked, "Like you were in the classroom?"
"Yes." Ye Zhan nodded: "After Qi Siyu knelt down, my emotions got a little out of control. After Zhou Mo pulled Qi Siyu away, I sat in my seat and felt a little weird. It was you who pulled me back."
"You were shouting 'Don't come over here, don't come over here' in the classroom. What exactly were you trying to stop from coming over?" I pressed on.
