◇ Chapter 44: Recovering Memory

Lu Fangchi couldn't see the expression on his face now, he only knew that his mood when he came and when he left was completely different. Images flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope, turning pages quickly.

Assistant Liu had a surprised expression on his face, and then he stood up and thanked him: "Mr. Lu, have you eaten? We didn't eat together."

"It's been really troublesome these past few months. Thank God Mr. Zhou finally remembered." Assistant Liu raised his hand to his chest, looking relieved and relieved. "Speaking of the devil, the devil has appeared. I'm just discussing with him to set aside a day to pay you a formal visit to thank you."

Lu Fangchi couldn't describe how he felt at the time. He only knew that he pulled the corners of his lips with a fake smile, "No need, it's good that you remember it now."

"You guys eat, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Without waiting for anyone to respond, he left in a hurry after saying this.

During the process, he accidentally bumped into a waiter, and the water in the tray in the other person's hand splashed all over Lu Fangchi, soaking his entire front. His light grey sweater instantly turned dark grey, and water dripped down.

The waiter wiped it hurriedly and apologized: "Sorry, sorry."

Fortunately, it was cold water, just a little too strong. Lu Fangchi refused the waiter's suggestion to change clothes. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

Lu Fangchi walked to the underground garage in one go. He leaned against the car with his chest heaving slightly, his brows tightly locked, his lips pursed, and he even bit them hard.

Lu Fangchi felt that he had just fled in disgrace and didn't even have the guts to look at Zhou Zheng again. He really didn't want to look at him anymore. The look of him looking at trash made him feel uncomfortable just thinking about it, as if he was being grabbed and ravaged by a hand.

Lu Fangchi's Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed the astringent air in his throat, unlocked the car door, opened it and got in. He suddenly felt weak and very tired, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. Was he so fragile just because he was sick?

It was not suitable to go back to work in this state, so Lu Fangchi did not make it difficult for himself. He took out his mobile phone, logged into Dingding, said hello to his assistant and said that he would not go there in the afternoon. He then arranged his work and checked in all the tasks that could be checked in.

I switched back to WeChat and found that the pinned position had changed. The nickname had changed from Xiao Zhou Zhou to Zhou Zheng. No, it would be more appropriate to say it was changed back.

Seeing these two straight and upright words brought back some memories.

It seemed that one time when he was taking a shower, his cell phone alarm rang and he asked Zhou Zheng to help him turn it off. After he came out of the shower, Zhou Zheng was not very happy. He was alone for a long time and found that no one was interested. He then went to Lu Fangchi with an embarrassed look and whispered to him, "You didn't even leave me a note. You are so cold."

"I don't have the habit of leaving notes. My nickname is what it is, and it's the same for everyone." Lu Fangchi swiped his phone to show him, not lying.

Two days later, Lu Fangchi discovered that Zhou Zheng had changed his WeChat nickname. The nickname "Xiao Zhou Zhou" combined with Zhou Zheng's identity exuded an extremely unreliable aura.

At that time, Lu Fangchi hinted to him, "Why don't you change to a more serious name? There are still many customers in the list."

Zhou Zheng rejected the idea outright. He asked, "Don't you think Xiao Zhou Zhou can embody my friendliness?"

Facts proved that what he said made sense. When he was suddenly switched back, Lu Fangchi looked strange and distant.

The sound of "ding dong" brought Lu Fangchi back to his senses, and a new text message popped up in the pop-up window - [Government SMS Platform] You have successfully made an appointment for marriage registration, the service number is A010203045, please register on x month x day, 20xx...

After just one start, Lu Fangchi raised his hand and swiped right to exit. He left without saying goodbye, didn't answer calls, didn't reply to messages, didn't go home, his cold eyes and changed nickname all reflected Zhou Zheng's attitude - now that he remembered, their relationship was no longer valid.

In stark contrast to the current text message about marriage registration, Lu Fangchi felt extremely ridiculous.

Lu Jingfeng's words came true. Their love would last no more than four months, let alone a year.

Lu Fangchi mocked and unfollowed the top post. There was no need to delete the friend. Adults should say goodbye in a decent manner. The new messages instantly pushed Zhou Zheng to the bottom. He threw the phone on the passenger seat, stepped on the accelerator and drove home.

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong..." Who is ringing the doorbell, so impatient.

Lu Fangchi was woken up, and it was pitch black. He raised his hand and turned on the bedside lamp. He squinted for a long time before he adjusted to the light. He threw off the quilt and got out of bed. He stood up with his feet on the ground, feeling dizzy. Lu Fangchi sat back on the bed, rubbed his temples with his hands, and shook his head slightly.

The frantic ringing of the doorbell turned into banging on the door. The "dong dong dong" sound hit my heart again and again, making me feel terrified.

It's too noisy. Neighbors will complain about it.

Lu Fangchi calmed down for a while, at least he was no longer dizzy when he stood up, and quickly got up to open the door. He was worried that if he was a step later, the other party would kick the door open and break in.

Lu Fangchi leaned against the door and opened it. The people who came were Jiang Mingyi and Yu Yao. Jiang Mingyi's eyebrows were knitted into eight characters, and he raised his hands in a rage. No wonder he knocked on the door in such a posture.

The door suddenly opened, Jiang Mingyi raised his hand and put it back awkwardly. He wanted to question Lu Fangchi about what he was doing, but after seeing his expression, he could not say any blame. He frowned even deeper, walked into the room, took Lu Fangchi's wrist and walked to the cloakroom, "Change your clothes, I'll take you to the hospital."

Lu Fangchi let him pull him along, blinked at Jiang Mingyi's furious back, and mumbled, "I took the medicine."

"It's useless. Look at what you look like now." Jiang Mingyi knocked off Lu Fangchi's wrist, raised his hand and knocked on the full-length mirror in the cloakroom, making a crisp sound.

Lu Fangchi looked in the mirror and saw his current mental state. His messy and unkempt hair, swollen eyelids and red eyes, stubble on his chin, and a listless aura all over his body made him look so haggard.

Yu Yao, who was standing a little further back, winked at Jiang Mingyi.

Jiang Mingyi calmed down a little, frowned and said, "Jiang Mingyu said you haven't been to the company for three days, and you haven't replied to our messages since the day before yesterday, no matter what."

Lu Fangchi subconsciously reached into his pocket to feel for his phone, but when he found nothing, he remembered that it should be at the head of the bed in the bedroom. Without any evidence, he could only explain dryly, "I didn't look at it. I had a headache these days and basically slept."

Lu Fangchi didn't lie. He started packing his things the moment he got home that day. He put all the big and small items into boxes and piled them in the corner. He had lived there for half a year, and his luggage had grown from four boxes to eight boxes, which took a lot of effort.

After cleaning up everything, Lu Fangchi went to take a shower. He already had a low fever and had to clean up for two or three hours in wet clothes, which made his condition worse.

Lu Fangchi thought that he could take some medicine and sleep well to get better, but he didn't expect that the virus was so powerful this time, and it seemed to be getting stronger with each setback. He knew that he had to go to the hospital, but Lu Fangchi was too weak to go out, so he stayed there for three days, and his condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse.

Jiang Mingyi was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Fangchi's excuses. He found some clothes and stuffed them into his hands, urging him: "Change quickly. Yu Yao and I will wait for you outside."

Five minutes later, Lu Fangchi changed his clothes and came out, and saw Jiang Mingyi and Yu Yao looking at the pile of cardboard boxes in the corner.

Eight cardboard boxes were stacked up to the height of a person, so conspicuous that it was hard to ignore them. Yu Yao seemed to be hesitant to speak, but Jiang Mingyi spoke frankly, patting the cardboard boxes stacked up in front of him and saying casually, "I saw the video of that guy attending the new game press conference, and he acted like a millionaire."

Truth will come out eventually. There is nothing to hide. Lu Fangchi nodded and agreed: "Well, he has recovered his memory. We broke up and we won't get married."

Looking at the posture, one can guess that Jiang Mingyi is not good at comforting others. He just starts cursing: "I don't think that idiot is a good person. I was afraid that he was holding back bad intentions to deceive you, but as soon as he recovered his memory, he turned against you. He is really a piece of shit, bah." After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked the cardboard box.

Yu Yao quickly reached out and grabbed the cardboard box so that it would not fall and hit anyone. He frowned and glanced at Jiang Mingyi, then opened his lips and said, "Can you be quiet?"

Jiang Mingyi raised his chin unconvinced, put his hand on Lu Fangchi's shoulder, and said, "That's good, it's better than getting divorced after getting married. Second marriage is so ugly. Breaking up now is just breaking up. The old one will not go away and the new one will not come. Don't you agree?"

Lu Fangchi was amused and nodded in response, "You are right."

I could only go to the emergency room at 8 o'clock in the evening. I waited for an hour for blood test. The case report showed that the white blood cell and lymphocyte counts were high.

The fever is mainly caused by tonsillitis. It can be cured by hanging a few bottles of intravenous drip. It's not a big deal.

The doctor prescribed two large bottles and one small bottle, which would take three hours to cure. Yu Yao received a call during the treatment and said he had something to do at home, so he left first. Jiang Mingyi stayed to accompany Lu Fangchi on the IV drip.

The infusion room was full of listless patients. Apart from the occasional coughing from those wearing masks, there was almost no conversation. Jiang Mingyi couldn't chat with Lu Fangchi, and he was very bored with having nothing to do.

At first I was still able to play mahjong on my mobile phone, but I started to feel sleepy at eleven o'clock. It seemed as if my upper and lower eyelids were attracted by magnets and kept sticking together. I nodded my head forward, and suddenly my eyelids clicked violently, and I was startled.

Seeing him rubbing his eyes so hard that his eyelids turned red, Lu Fangchi said, "Go back."

Jiang Mingyi blinked fiercely and sat up straight, "It's okay, I'll accompany you."

"No need, I can do it myself. Just press the bell when I'm ready. There's no point in you staying here." Lu Fangchi said.

"How is it useless? This is called companionship." Jiang Mingyi said unconvinced.

Lu Fangchi curled his eyes and said, "You don't need to accompany me. I'm really sick, and it has nothing to do with him. Not that serious."

Jiang Mingyi raised his eyebrows after being exposed, and stopped pretending, "Really?"

"It's absolutely true," Lu Fangchi nodded in affirmation, "I'm not glass, I won't break that easily."

Jiang Mingyi was really sleepy, and he didn't care to hear Lu Fangchi say that. He just gave him a few words of advice and left.

Facts have proved that Lu Fangchi is now a delicate flower. She cannot do without someone around her. During the IV drip, her eyes became unfocused and she did not pay attention to the bottle, which resulted in most of the blood flowing back into the tube after the bottle was hung. In the end, it was the master sitting opposite her who reminded her. Lu Fangchi quickly pressed the button to call the nurse to change the bottle.

After this incident, Lu Fangchi could no longer daydream and looked up at the IV bottle from time to time. At one o'clock in the morning, he finally finished the three bottles of IV.

Lu Fangchi sat for two or three minutes, holding the back of his hand, then stood up, walked outside the hospital building and hailed a taxi.

It was late at night and the trip was short, so it was hard to get a taxi. He waited for more than ten minutes before a driver took the order and drove five or six kilometers to get here. Lu Fangchi waited in the cold wind for nearly twenty minutes, and when he got into the car, he felt that his condition was getting worse.

However, it was quick once they got on the car. In about ten minutes they arrived at the unit building downstairs from their home. Lu Fangchi opened the door, got off the car, and took the elevator upstairs.

"Ding——" I stepped out of the elevator and approached the door. There was a large dark shadow not far away.

Lu Fangchi frowned slightly and walked forward. The induction light illuminated the corridor and he could clearly see the person standing at the door.
