“I said I know, and that means I know. Let go. An’an is my girlfriend. I have more right than you to decide where she goes next.”
Ao Cang's golden eyes met Xu Heyu's blue eyes, and a fierce spark ignited when their gazes collided; neither was willing to give way to the other.
Qiao Mei, whose wrist had already been grabbed by Ao Cang, unexpectedly shook off Ao Cang's hand, frowned, stood behind Xu Heyu, grabbed his arm, and looked at Ao Cang as if he were an outsider:
"What nonsense are you spouting? Who's your girlfriend? My fiancé is Xu Heyu. In terms of qualifications, he's a hundred times more qualified than you!!"
The sight of Qiao Mei and Xu Heyu forming a united front stung Ao Cang's eyes.
Even though he knew that the person controlling Qiao Mei's body was not the one he knew, he still felt a little uncomfortable seeing her with that face and looking at him with that unfamiliar and disgusted gaze.
“Let’s go, Xu Heyu, I’ll go with you.”
Shu Qingqing was speechless, but the person who said this was Qiao Mei, and she didn't know what to say to her.
He could only watch as Xu Heyu took Qiao Mei away, and said angrily, "What exactly happened? Qiao Qiao wasn't like this before!"
Ao Cang's face was still a little pale, but he quickly composed himself and followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Shu Qingqing and the others had no choice but to follow, since this concerned whether Qiao Mei had lost her mind.
The Imperial Star Hospital isn't too far from here; it only takes ten minutes to get there by air.
Upon arrival, Qiao Mei followed closely behind Xu Heyu, and under his care, she underwent a series of examinations.
During this process, Ao Cang was like a forgotten pet, always following closely behind Qiao Mei and the others, which made Shang Duojin and Shu Qingqing feel very uncomfortable.
After all this time, they had come to regard Ao Cang as their friend.
By the time the entire inspection was completed and the results were obtained, it was already completely dark outside.
The doctor said that Qiao Mei's physical condition was perfectly fine; if anything, she was just not feeling well, which was exactly the same as the results from the previous small hospital.
“In this situation, I suggest taking her home to rest. Perhaps after a good night’s sleep, everything will be fine.”
Ao Cang was not surprised by this result.
If a body being replaced by a soul can be detected, then that small hospital in the beginning must have been able to do it too.
"Did you hear that, Senior Xu? You were already so arrogant, weren't you? Why waste your time coming here? You..."
Before Shu Qingqing could finish speaking, Qiao Mei angrily interrupted her: "Why are you yelling at him? He was only trying to help me. How could I be best friends with someone like you?!"
These words are very hurtful, especially to Shu Qingqing, who is very sentimental.
She immediately felt a lump in her throat from Qiao Mei's words, her eyes reddened, and she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal for a long time.
Shang Duojin was also furious, standing in front of Shu Qingqing and reprimanding Qiao Mei: "How dare you speak like that? What do you mean by calling her a person like that? Sister Qiao, even if you have amnesia, you can't trample on your relationship with that bad woman like this!!"
Ao Cang didn't want to see Qiao Mei's body become so wretched under the control of this soul. Before she could say anything in rebuttal, he asked Zuo Chenxing to give her another blow, knocking her unconscious.
"Thank you very much." Ao Cang picked her up in his arms and thanked Zuo Chenxing.
Zuo Chenxing shook his head, his gaze falling on Qiao Mei's beautiful yet unfamiliar face, and said with pursed lips, "I only hope that you can help Rose regain her memory as soon as possible."
She looks so strange and unsettling now.
Xu Heyu wanted to follow, but as soon as she took a step, she was blocked by a wall of lightning and could not move forward an inch.
Ao Cang glanced at him coldly, his voice icy and piercing: "Try following me again?"
When Qiao Mei was still awake, he could still give Xu Heyu some face, but now that she has fallen into a coma, why should he continue to tolerate her?
"I don't intend to use this opportunity to do anything to her. We're friends, and I care about her situation. My house is close to hers, so going over to check on her wouldn't hurt..."
Zuo Chenxing interrupted him and stood in front of him:
“Cang Ao might indeed have a way to help Rose regain her memory. Going back to the past won’t help you. As you said, you are Rose’s friend, and so are the rest of us. We care about Rose just as much as you do. In this situation, as her friends, we shouldn’t cause trouble, right?”
Seeing that Xu Heyu finally showed no signs of following, Ao Cang carried Qiao Mei away.
In the event of this incident, one should logically contact Qiao Mei's mother and grandfather first.
But Ao Cang didn't want them to worry, so he kept it a secret for the time being.
They took Qiao Mei back to the villa area where they used to live.
He did know a way to summon a spirit, but for him in his current state, this method would be very harmful.
If he's not careful, he might not be able to return to his original body.
But if it's for Qiao Mei, he has to try, no matter how dangerous it is.
He placed the unconscious girl on the bed, closed his eyes, and used his divine power to approach her sea of consciousness.
Logically speaking, any soul that has ever resided in the sea of consciousness will leave behind a trace of its aura.
But after he probed inside, he found nothing, only that unfamiliar aura remained there.
He refused to believe it and tried it many times.
Only when his divine power could no longer sustain him, forcing him to retreat and causing him to cough up blood, did he truly believe that the Qiao Mei he knew had not left any trace.
She left him only with those profound and beautiful memories.
But how could that be...?
Even if she is from another time and space, as long as she is human, her soul cannot exist without any trace.
It will never be like this again...
Ao Cang's mind was buzzing, and in an instant, all the strength in his body seemed to have been taken away, leaving him unsure of where to direct his efforts.
If Qiao Mei cannot return, given her current personality and reactions, the two of them will undoubtedly part ways.
But how could she? How could she abandon him and disappear?
The real Qiao Mei was unaware of the situation on Ao Cang's side.
After she woke up, she looked at the familiar but outdated medical equipment around her and for a moment she couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality.
Medical equipment in interstellar space is not like this. Doctors and patients coming and going all have a quantum brain bracelet, instead of everyone still using mobile phones as they are now.
In the brief moment of her dazed state, a nurse rushed towards her with bright eyes.
