Ye Xinning froze, her eyes flashing with cold light. "What do you mean?"
"How could Ningning, who is so smart, not understand what I mean?"
Ye Xinning felt at that moment that her limbs stiffened and her blood ran backward.
"Huo Yanzhi, what's the point of always only saying half of what you mean?"
Huo Yanzhi knew she wanted to know everything, and that's why he came today.
“Shen Lin won’t remember, so there’s no need for you to waste your time.”
Why are you so sure he won't remember?
Huo Yanzhi said meaningfully, "If you want to know, you might as well check the medication that Shen Lin has been taking."
...
Huo Yanzhi left, and Ye Xinning stood there for a long time before she realized what Huo Yanzhi meant.
So, Shen Lin has been taking medication all along?
What kind of medication was she taking? Was it a memory-suppressing drug? Why didn't she know?
Ye Xinning felt short of breath. She told herself not to think too much about it. It was just some nonsense Huo Yanzhi was spouting. She didn't need to take it to heart. If she did, she would lose, not Huo Yanzhi.
She must have been out for quite a while, because Shen Lin came out to look for her.
Ye Xinning looked at the man holding her hand. She didn't know why, but even though it was the same person, she felt that something was different inside her.
"Why have you been out for so long?" Shen Lin asked to himself. Ye Xinning didn't say a word, but just tightened her grip on his hand.
At this moment, she needed to use this method to strengthen her resolve; otherwise, she feared she might actually believe Huo Yanzhi's words.
If Shen Lin is indeed taking medication to suppress memories, then what does all her long-term sacrifice mean?
She has been waiting for him to regain his memory, even though she is not as obsessed with it as she used to be recently. It is still a memory, her most beautiful memory with him.
Her prolonged silence alerted Shen Lin that something was wrong.
What are you thinking about?
Ye Xinning snapped out of her thoughts, smiled and shook her head, her voice gentle, "It's nothing."
Shen Lin squinted, half believing and half doubting.
Ye Xinning took his hand, and the two walked into the house together.
"What did Huo Yanzhi say to you just now?"
"Nothing much, they just asked me what I was doing at the Huo Group before."
"Just this?"
"Yes, he's very protective of his brother, perhaps because he's worried I might do something to his brother."
Ye Xinning replied casually, then thought of what Huo Yanzhi had said.
"By the way, I found a medicine bottle in the study the other day, was it yours?"
Chen Lin paused for a second before resuming his normal pace.
No, you're mistaken.
Ye Xinning smiled but didn't say anything.
The moment he lowered his head, the smile in his eyes vanished, replaced by a touch of sorrow.
She had never found any medicine bottles in the study, nor did she know that Shen Lin was taking such medication. What she said just now was merely a test to probe Shen Lin.
However, even with such a small test, Shen Lin's performance still disappointed her.
His pause and his obviously lying statement confirmed her suspicions.
She stopped talking and kept the matter to herself.
...
That evening, Shen Nanxing came to see her.
When only the two of them were together, Ye Xinning handed the medicine she had found during the day to Shen Nanxing.
Shen Nanxing held the medicine, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't this my older brother's medicine?"
Ye Xinning remained calm, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Hmm, what are we eating?"
Shen Nanxing recognized the medicine at a glance, but fell silent when Ye Xinning asked what it was for.
Ye Xinning knew perfectly well why she was silent. "Isn't it surprising? I'm his wife, yet I didn't even know he was taking his medication."
"Perhaps my older brother didn't want his wife to worry."
How likely do you think that is?
Shen Nanxing, "..."
Ye Xinning didn't want to beat around the bush with Shen Nanxing, so she simply said, "I just want to know some things I need to know, Nanxing. I won't make things difficult for you. If you feel that this matter is difficult for you, I can go to another doctor to ask."
Since she had already said all that, it would seem rather deliberate for Shen Nanxing to refuse again.
"I prescribed this medicine for my older brother about two years ago. He would often have headaches and feel unwell because of some inexplicable visions. In severe cases, it would even interfere with his work and life. He came to me and asked me to prescribe this medicine. Actually, this medicine doesn't have much effect; it can only stabilize the mind. But for some reason, it was particularly effective for my brother. He suffered a lot during that period, and he probably really hated that feeling, so he kept asking me for this medicine afterward."
"This medicine only has a calming effect on normal people, but what about people who have lost part of their memory?"
Shen Nanxing looked at Ye Xinning in surprise, unable to believe that she would ask such a question.
Because they all knew very well what asking this question meant.
"Does Sister-in-law mean that Brother lost his memory?"
Ye Xinning remained silent.
Shen Nanxing became certain of her doubts. "No wonder my brother was acting so strangely. What was that lost memory like? Was it related to my sister-in-law?"
Faced with Shen Nanxing's barrage of questions, Ye Xinning didn't choose to answer. Instead, she asked Shen Nanxing, "What did he say when he asked you for the medicine?"
“Some meaningless things bothered him, and he wanted to change them. He also said that there was no need to let unimportant things affect his life.”
Ye Xinning clenched her hands, which were hanging at her sides.
Meaningless?
unimportant?
She closed her eyes; only in this way could she barely control her emotions.
"I understand, thank you for telling me this."
Shen Nanxing was still a little worried about her, "Sister-in-law, has something happened?"
Ye Xinning shook her head. "It's nothing."
It's really nothing.
How could she possibly describe that feeling?
Reason told her that the person with amnesia was Shen Lin. After returning to normal life, the forgotten memories would be a burden for Shen Lin. It was normal for him not to want to remember them and to reject those fragmented memories.
But people are emotional. At times like this, even if she tries to convince herself not to dwell on it, the memory she cherishes is something Shen Lin desperately wants to forget.
Torn between two conflicting emotions, she was in a state of turmoil.
Even when facing Shen Lin at night, she had the urge to hide.
Not knowing what to say to Shen Lin, she simply pretended to be asleep when Shen Lin returned to his bedroom.
