Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Retreat
Jiang Yuxia pondered for a moment and said hesitantly, "Really?"
He didn't seem to have the impression that it was psychology, maybe he was mistaken.
Fortunately, Qin Zhixing didn't dwell on this issue too much. He stood up and said, "Xia Xia, put on your mask. Let's go to my office first."
Jiang Yuxia: "Okay."
When they arrived at the office, Qin Zhixing took off his white coat first. Jiang Yuxia looked at the white coat and his thoughts drifted away. Qin Zhixing was not like him who had been in an orphanage since childhood. He was sent here when he was about nine years old. The director's aunt said that he had a good family background, but his parents died of a genetic disease and he had no relatives in the other branches, so he was sent to the orphanage.
He didn't know whether Qin Zhixing's choice of the doctor profession was influenced by his parents. He kept everything to himself and always looked calm, so it was difficult to guess what he was thinking.
"I'm back to my senses." Qin Zhixing's voice was gentle, his eyes narrow and long. "Why do you keep daydreaming?"
Jiang Yuxia: "It's nothing, I just think white coats are very handsome."
He reached out to touch it, but before his fingertips could touch it, Qin Zhixing stopped him, "Don't touch it, it's dirty."
Jiang Yuxia withdrew his hand awkwardly and said "Oh".
"One of the functions of a white coat is to block bacteria." Qin Zhixing took the alcohol spray from the table and said, "Hold out your hand."
Jiang Yuxia stretched out his hand, and Qin Zhixing sprayed alcohol on his hand twice. The alcohol sprayed on his hand was cool, and Jiang Yuxia rubbed his hands together.
Qin Zhixing looked at his hand and suddenly asked, "Xia Xia, I heard you were injured last time hanging on the wire?"
Jiang Yuxia paused for a moment, "Well, I've been to the hospital, and there's nothing serious."
Qin Zhixing frowned slightly, a dark light flashing in his eyes, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Yuxia's face fell slightly. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell, but she couldn't tell. After she fell, she went to cling to Zhou Boye to be a canary. Later, when she regained consciousness, her injuries were almost healed. She was afraid that Qin Zhixing would worry, and she was also afraid that he would know about the "canary" incident. It was too embarrassing, so she didn't tell him.
He said awkwardly, "It's just a minor injury. I didn't tell you because I didn't think it was a big deal."
Qin Zhixing remained silent and looked at him quietly. Jiang Yuxia slowly lowered his eyes, feeling a little guilty. "Well, because of some things that happened later, I didn't have the chance to tell you, but the injury is indeed not serious."
Qin Zhixing sighed and reached out to rub his head, but then paused as he thought of something. He slowly withdrew his hand and said softly, "Since we're at the hospital anyway, let's go get another checkup nearby."
Jiang Yuxia's eyes flickered slightly, "No need."
The last time he regained consciousness, he had gone to the hospital for a checkup. He was still receiving treatment, and the doctor said he was stable. If he were to go for another checkup now, Qin Zhixing would learn about his strange condition, and he couldn't imagine how he would react.
Qin Zhixing looked at him, his eyes darkening. "Hmm—I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel like you and I are quite distant."
There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips when he said this, and his tone was like a joke, but Jiang Yuxia knew that he was angry. The angrier Qin Zhixing got, the more indifferent he acted.
"No." Jiang Yuxia's tone was a little anxious, afraid that Qin Zhixing would misunderstand. He had few relatives, and the only person he could call a family member was Qin Zhixing. Even the dean's aunt was not as important as Qin Zhixing in his heart. He didn't want to create a rift between the two of them because of these things.
"It's just that I've been too busy recently, so I haven't been in touch much. I'm sorry."
Qin Zhixing reached out and pinched his face, as if it were a child, "I'm just a little worried about you."
Jiang Yuxia nodded, "I know."
Qin Zhixing reached out and opened the drawer, then took out a necklace with a "small boat" hanging on it. It was a pendant given to him by Zhou Boye.
Qin Zhixing rubbed the jade with his fingers and said, "Here you go."
Jiang Yuxia took the pendant and said, "I thought it was lost."
"You left it in the drawer and forgot to bring it back. I saw it when I was packing up. You must keep it safe this time."
Jiang Yuxia held the pendant tighter. There were not many things left between him and Zhou Boye, and each one was very precious.
The words "Jiang Yuxia, can we start over?" slipped past my ears again.
“…”
Jiang Yuxia's breath hitched slightly. He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Zhixing, "Brother, I came to see you, not only to get the pendant, but also to ask you some questions."
Qin Zhixing said, "Hmm?"
"Do you know why I went abroad?"
Qin Zhixing didn't answer immediately, but just looked at him, "Why do you ask?"
Jiang Yuxia pursed her lips and said, "Well, I can't remember why I went abroad back then."
Why did she break up with Zhou Boye?
"Is there a problem with your memory? Have you had a check-up?" Qin Zhixing paused slightly.
Jiang Yuxia: "I did. The doctor said it's nothing serious. I probably fell on my head while hanging on the wire."
Hearing that everything was fine, Qin Zhixing's tone became serious. "Xia Xia, you didn't tell me about this. Although you are unwilling to rely on others for almost everything, I thought that you would inform me as soon as possible about something like this."
He paused and said, "I thought we were family."
Jiang Yuxia was stunned for a moment, "Brother, I, I..."
Qin Zhixing reached out to stop Jiang Yuxia from saying the next thing, "I'm just angry that I didn't take good care of you."
Jiang Yuxia said without hesitation: "If something like this happens again, I will definitely tell you the first time."
"What nonsense! I hope you never get hurt again." Qin Zhixing said helplessly, then continued to answer his previous question, "I don't know why you went abroad, but one day you suddenly found me, looking so pitiful. When I asked you what happened, you didn't say anything."
Qin Zhixing studied abroad and started working locally after graduation. It was at that time that Jiang Yuxia suddenly came to him.
Jiang Yuxia: "..."
Sure enough, no impression at all.
Seeing that he was still thinking, Qin Zhixing picked up his phone, checked the time and said, "Don't worry, I'll go get some food first. I'll think about it after I'm full."
"Um."
"Click", the door was closed gently.
Jiang Yuxia gently stroked the pendant. It felt unreal that such a novel plot as amnesia would happen to him.
But if he doesn't get his memory back, the relationship between him and Zhou Boye will never be clear. Can he really start over without any grudges?
What if I made an unforgivable mistake? Or is there some reason why I must break up?
It's really difficult.
For a moment, I really wanted to return to being Canary Jiang Yuxia, at least I wouldn't have to think about anything.
The air in Qin Zhixing's office was very good. The breeze blew the gauze curtains and the sunlight poured in. He stared at the window and began to empty his mind. After an unknown amount of time, the sunlight became a little dazzling, and his gaze shifted, slowly falling on Qin Zhixing's desk.
The desk was tidy and clean, with a computer, a few pens scattered in the pen holder, and two bottles of medicine in the corner.
Medicine? The medicine on the desk can't be for the patient, right? Is Qin Zhixing sick?
Jiang Yuxia stood up and wanted to take a look at the medicine bottle. Just at this moment, Qin Zhixing came back with lunch.
"Come and eat."
Jiang Yuxia pointed at the medicine bottle and asked, "Brother Qin, what medicine is this?"
Qin Zhixing looked in the direction of his fingertips, his expression calm, "Vitamin C and stomach medicine."
Jiang Yuxia: "Do you feel sick in your stomach?"
Qin Zhixing: "Irregular meals, occasionally."
He smiled and said, "They are just minor ailments. I have a physical checkup every year and take good care of my body, unlike you."
…
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Yuxia took a taxi and went straight back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Boye sitting on the sofa.
Jiang Yuxia was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why are you back? Don't you have to go to work?"
Zhou Boye's face didn't look good. He sneered when he heard his words, "Just being lazy."
When he arrived at the company in the morning and still hadn't received any news from Jiang Yuxia, he knew that he should have recovered, because Canary Jiang Yuxia would send him some sweet words that made his teeth ache every morning.
When I asked Uncle Zheng, he said he had gone out, and he started to take a taxi as soon as I left. Isn't this obviously timing to avoid him?
Jiang Yuxia was stunned. How did he know that he was awake?
Zhou Boye poked the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue. "What about you? Who did you go see? Qin Zhixing?"
Jiang Yuxia pursed her lips and said "hmm".
A hint of anger flashed in Zhou Boye's eyes. "You avoided me as soon as you woke up, but went to find Qin Zhixing?"
"Jiang and Xia..."
He called out his name, and the veins on his forehead twitched slightly. He wouldn't be so angry if he had told him so. He wasn't the kind of paranoid person who would imprison someone at home and not let anyone see him.
But he couldn't help comparing himself with Qin Zhixing, and after the comparison he couldn't calm down.
He couldn't tell if he was scared or angry, angry that Jiang and Xia were avoiding him, angry that he had gone to Qin Zhixing. Afraid that Jiang and Xia would remember the reason for their breakup and leave him again.
Afraid that he would be snatched away by Qin Zhixing...
"Jiang Yuxia..." Zhou Boye called out again, his breathing heavier. When he met Jiang Yuxia's eyes with the unpleasant words, he swallowed them back even though they were on the tip of his tongue.
"never mind."
He paused, and seeing Jiang Yuxia's bewildered expression, he exhaled deeply and said self-deprecatingly, "I have something to take care of, so I'm going out for a while."
He picked up the car keys and walked straight out. He was afraid that if he stayed, he would become irrational, so he needed to calm down.
Zhou Boye got into the car and slammed his hand on the steering wheel.
Shit! I can't calm down at all!
He made a phone call, "Lin Yan, come out and drink with me!"
Lin Yan was still sleepy, "Ah? Drinking? What time is it? Fuck..."
"The old place." Zhou Boye hung up before he could finish and turned the key to start the car.
Zhou Boye saw Jiang Yuxia chasing after him in the rearview mirror, so he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and the car sped away.
Fuck, even when you’re angry you have to hide away by yourself.
So damn cheap!
