Lu Jin'an felt utterly disheartened upon hearing Gu Zhilin's reply. However, when he tried to explain to Gu Zhilin who he was, his mental energy couldn't sustain the transmission of pheromones.
He withdrew from Gu Zhilin's sea of consciousness.
Everyone watched as Lu Jin'an woke up with a dark expression on her face.
"What happened?" Jiang Jiyang asked worriedly.
Just then, the doctor next to them cheered with delight: "Mr. Gu's mental strength is fluctuating; he's about to wake up."
Hearing this, Jiang Jiyang couldn't help but excitedly pat Lu Jin'an on the shoulder: "Great job! You did it!"
He just didn't expect that his simple pat would cause Lu Jin'an to collapse.
"No, Lu Jin'an, are you alright?" He was startled and quickly checked on Lu Jin'an's condition. The medical staff nearby heard the commotion and rushed over to check on her as well.
"It's alright, General Lu just used too much mental energy and his body is weak due to the large release of pheromones. He'll be fine after a rest."
Hearing the doctor's answer, Jiang Jiyang finally felt relieved. Otherwise, if he had really slapped this ancestor and broken him, his life would have been over.
Earth too...
"You scared me to death," Jiang Jiyang said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, relieved to have escaped death.
"By the way, you've already awakened Gu Zhilin's consciousness, so why aren't you happy?" He looked at the man, whose face was still deathly pale, with surprise.
Lu Jin'an remained silent until he heard this, then sighed and said, "Of course I'm happy to be able to awaken Gu Zhilin."
"You don't look happy at all right now."
“Gu Zhilin doesn’t remember,” Lu Jin’an said softly.
"What?" Jiang Jiyang moved closer, hardly believing his ears. "You said someone doesn't remember? Gu Zhilin? What doesn't he remember? Doesn't he remember you?"
Lu Jin'an rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache: "He doesn't remember me, and he probably doesn't remember you either. His memories seem to be from a thousand years ago."
"How could this happen? Is it...is it that kid lied to you?" Jiang Jiyang realized that the person inside Wen Yili's body did it on purpose when he thought of the dangerous person lying next door.
He became increasingly angry and stormed into the next ward.
Before Lu Jin'an could stop him, the man had already rushed out of the room.
He quickly got out of bed and followed. When he arrived, he saw Jiang Jiyang grab Wen Yili by the collar, pin him to the bed, and punch him hard.
He shouted, "I knew you were up to no good. Now look what you've done! Gu Zhilin has lost his memory, are you happy now?"
Wen Yili was still a bit bewildered when someone suddenly rushed in and beat him up. Hearing this, he paused for a moment, then looked up incredulously and met the gaze of Lu Jin'an who had just entered.
When he saw the complicated look in Lu Jin'an's eyes, he knew that what Jiang Jiyang said was true.
But why?
"How could this happen? Why did Master lose his memory? Has Master woken up?" He struggled to push Jiang Jiyang away and asked Lu Jin'an.
Lu Jin'an stared at him coldly, unable to discern a single flaw in his expression. This man seemed genuinely unaware of why Gu Zhilin had lost his memory.
He said coldly, "Your master has not only forgotten me, but also you, and everyone in the modern world. His memory is stuck in the 21st century."
As he spoke, he observed Wen Yili's micro-expressions, but no matter how carefully he looked, he couldn't find a single flaw.
It's clear that Wen Yili was genuinely surprised by this result. So, what about the person inside his body?
He dared not make any rash moves, but simply pulled Jiang Jiyang over.
Then, in a threatening tone, he said, "You'd better pray that Gu Zhilin can regain his memory. If he can't, you can expect to be court-martialed."
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Jiyang away.
"Why did you drag me out here? Why didn't you let me beat him to death?" Jiang Jiyang shouted defiantly.
But Lu Jin'an shook his head: "This is enough for now. If we push Xuanhua too far, I'm afraid he might hurt Wen Yili."
Jiang Jiyang, however, was somewhat worried: "Perhaps Wen Yili has already been turned by that Xuanhua guy?"
Lu Jin'an looked up and gave him a cold look: "He is an Earthling, and he is Gu Zhilin's apprentice. If you think like that, you are looking down on Gu Zhilin's taste."
Jiang Jiyang was speechless. He never expected that after his good brother became a sycophant, he would even defend the other party's opinion.
The two returned to Lu Jin'an's ward, where Gu Zhilin was still unconscious.
However, the doctor assured him that the instruments had detected fluctuations in Gu Zhilin's consciousness and that he would wake up soon.
However, he couldn't be sure of the exact time.
In the past, Lu Jin'an would never have been satisfied with such an answer from the doctor.
He wasn't angry now, because knowing that Gu Zhilin could wake up was enough.
What if you wake up and the other person doesn't recognize you?
Lu Jin'an hasn't decided yet.
He nervously licked his dry lips and subconsciously rubbed his hands together.
"You don't need to be too nervous. You were able to gain Gu Zhilin's approval before, so even if Gu Zhilin has amnesia now, as long as you spend more time together, he will definitely still be able to approve of you," Jiang Jiyang comforted him.
Lu Jin'an could only manage a bitter smile.
He recalled the first time he met Gu Zhilin. At that time, the other party did not have a good impression of him and even seemed to reject his approach.
Moreover... he had finally gotten a positive answer from the other party, and now he had nothing left.
Will Gu Zhilin fall in love with her again?
He wasn't sure.
At that moment, he suddenly realized how greedy he had been. He had originally thought that as long as the man woke up, everything would be fine.
But now, the thought that the other person will forget me when they wake up, and may become a complete stranger to me from then on, is unbearable.
What if he loses all interest in his own pheromones because of the stimulation they provide?
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, so he simply kicked Jiang Jiyang out and lay back down next to Gu Zhilin.
She tilted her head to look at Gu Zhilin; this guy was sleeping so soundly!
After waking up, I completely forgot about him.
"Did you save me just to forget me?"
Gu Zhilin naturally couldn't give an answer.
Lu Jin'an sighed and couldn't help but move closer to the other person. In fact, these past few days, even though this person had been lying right next to her.
He always adhered to a boundary and did not cross it, even though after what happened last time he guessed that Gu Zhilin had most likely agreed to his request.
But he wanted to wait until the other person woke up and explained things clearly before getting any closer.
But now, the thought of how difficult it would be for him to get close to the other person again once they woke up makes him want to steal a little intimacy.
So we got a little closer and then a little closer still.
