Chapter 62 Memory
Fortunately, this child just lost his memory and is not stupid. He is quite smart and can read people's expressions and is very sensible.
The store was in the red and couldn't make much money, so the men in the family went out to find work and the women stayed to look after the store.
Ji Lin will also help out and doesn't ask for any wages, just provide food and accommodation.
The woman's name is Zhao Guihua, and she has a daughter named Wang Lan. Her husband's name is Wang Dazhu. Neither of them are nice names, but ordinary names make them easier to support.
The whole family is kind-hearted. Ji Lin has lived here for almost a year, and they help him get medicine without any complaints.
Although Ji Lin didn't remember anything, he was not stupid and he silently remembered the kindness of this family.
"Aunt, do you still have the clothes I was wearing when you picked me up?"
"Here, your clothes were soaked and rotten. I threw them away when I took them to the hospital."
"That's fine, I'll look for other clues."
Ji Lin smiled lightly and looked at his watch.
"Isn't school over yet, Xiaolan?"
"It's time to go home from school, but he's not back yet. He must have eaten at school."
"Okay." Ji Lin nodded and continued to eat in silence. He always felt that he also had a sister, but he just couldn't remember what she looked like.
Even his dreams were hazy. The only thing he could do was to read more psychology books and try to hypnotize himself to see if he could remember.
It’s just that there are too few books in this hardware store.
Auntie just mentioned the newly built library and I can go there to look for it.
"Aunt, after dinner I want to go to the library to read some books."
"Okay, then come back early. Just call me if you need me to pick you up."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
After dinner, Ji Lin cleaned up the dishes, returned to his small bedroom, and picked up his canvas bag.
Looking at the small bedroom, Ji Lin felt a long-lost sense of home rising from the bottom of his heart, and vaguely remembered some things.
Apart from being with my sister, I was mostly alone, but there were moments when I remembered that I had a family.
But he still couldn't remember their faces. All the people and things seemed to be covered by a layer of fog in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
My thoughts started to become chaotic. Once I started thinking about these things, my mind couldn't stop wandering.
When I think too much, my head hurts.
I packed up and went out, looking at the scenery in the town. In this coastal town, everyone looked lively and energetic.
Except for corporate slaves who have to go to work.
The library Zhao Guihua mentioned is not far away. After all, it is a small town. You can explore the whole town in an hour's walk.
Standing in front of the library, Ji Lin fell silent.
This library has only three floors and at first glance looks more like an old office building that was temporarily requisitioned than it is supposed to be.
The paint on the exterior walls is mottled and peeling, revealing the traces of time. A thin layer of dust covers the windows, and the sunlight shines through the dust, casting a hazy beam, adding a sense of vicissitudes. The sign at the entrance reads "Library" slightly faded.
Forget it, it’s good to have a library. I hope there are books on psychology or something like that.
After opening the door, the inside was quite clean, but the tables, chairs and benches were a bit worn.
It looked like it was discarded from school, but fortunately it was wiped very clean and the iron stool was also polished to a bright shine.
The air is filled with a faint scent of ink, which contrasts sharply with the salty and humid sea breeze outside.
Ji Lin looked over and tried to find the book he wanted to read. Finally, he saw it in the last row, filling up three shelves. He breathed a sigh of relief. At least the books here were quite complete.
I picked up a book, found a place to sit down, opened the page and started reading.
I don’t know how long I looked at it, but my eyes became sore.
"Hey, Brother Lin, why are you here?"
A familiar voice came, Ji Lin looked up, his eyes fell on a young and pure girl. She walked towards him with light steps, with the agility and liveliness unique to girls in her steps.
Her long hair swayed gently in the breeze, and the sunlight shining from behind her gave her a golden edge, making her look like a person in a painting.
"Xiaolan?"
"It's me. The school is closed for the afternoon, but I don't want to go home so early. I plan to visit the newly opened library."
"I didn't expect Brother Lin to be quicker than me. By the way, this is for you."
Xiaolan took out two cups of milk tea from her backpack, one for herself and one for Ji Lin.
"Thanks."
He took it naturally and drank it skillfully by inserting the tube. He remembered that he didn't like the sweet taste at first, but in his memory it seemed like someone always invited him to drink.
Gradually he accepted it, but he couldn't handle the full sugar version. However, he would drink it all because he didn't want to waste it.
Xiaolan was the first to notice it, and from then on she only brought him five-cent candies.
Xiaolan raised her eyes and looked around.
"I just came in and took a look around. It's not very big, but luckily there are quite a lot of books."
Xiaolan took off her schoolbag and pulled out a few books from it. They were all about the three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulations. The thick books made people terrified when reading them.
"However, I still found something good. I just found it on the first floor. There are detailed notes on it."
Xiaolan smiled playfully and opened it to take a look.
"When I get admitted to Beijing University, will Brother Lin come with me?"
The seemingly casual words carried a hint of cautious expectation.
Ji Lin paused as he was turning the pages of the book, his eyes filled with complexity.
"I have no idea…"
Xiaolan lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment in her eyes, then raised her head and smiled.
"I'm just kidding. It's not certain whether you can pass the exam or not, but the most urgent thing now is to help you regain your memory."
Xiaolan blinked and asked, "Brother Lin, after you recover your memory, can we, can we still be friends?"
"Of course, we'll always be friends."
Friends forever? Xiaolan felt a bitterness spreading in her chest, but she quickly adjusted herself and nodded.
"Okay! Brother Lin, did you remember anything today?"
"No, I still have no idea."
"Well, let me think about it." Xiaolan took out her cell phone and turned it on. The wallpaper on her phone was a very beautiful woman, but it seemed to be a screenshot of the live broadcast and was a little blurry.
Ji Lin glanced at it unintentionally and suddenly his head started to hurt. He stared at the woman's face, and the blurry face in his memory became clearer.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?!"
Xiaolan was shocked and was about to get up to take a look when Ji Lin grabbed her wrist.
"It's okay, I'm fine, you sit down first."
Ji Lin vaguely felt that there were several pairs of gazes sweeping over him, and there was a sense of prying and surveillance in those eyes, which made him feel very uneasy.
Although Xiaolan was afraid, seeing Ji Lin's insistence, she had no choice but to sit down and take out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
After a while, Ji Lin finally recovered.
"Brother Lin, did you remember something?"
"No, I don't remember anything."
