Chapter 162 I Should Have Said I'm Sorry Earlier
Wen Zhixian sent him all the way back home.
Unfortunately, it started raining when we just got off the bus.
Ning Yanci opened the car door and said to Wen Zhixian, "Come in and sit for a while."
Wen Zhihan looked at the rain and estimated that it would not stop for a while, so he got out of the car.
I originally planned to ask his driver to take her home, but it seems that there is only a nanny at the door of his house...
The aunt came over with an umbrella to cover Ning Yanci. Ning Yanci turned around and pointed at her, and the aunt ran over to hold the umbrella for her.
As soon as she entered the door, the nanny brought a dry towel and handed it to her.
Wen Zhihan thanked him, wiped off the little rain on his body, handed the towel back, and sat down on the sofa in the front hall.
After Ning Yanci came back, she went upstairs. She planned to go back after the rain stopped.
Auntie poured her another cup of hot water.
The temperature seemed to be lower on rainy days than before, and Wen Zhihan warmed his hands with a glass.
She had always known that Ning Yanci had a hearing impairment, but this was Ning Yanci's secret, and even Gu Yuchen, who had been a close friend of hers, did not know about it.
She also found out about it by accident. It dates back to when she was in her teens. At that time, he was lying on the ground looking for something like a madman. It was she who helped Ning Yanci find the hearing aid.
As for what happened to him, she naturally had no idea. Apart from that, she and Ning Yanci did not have a very deep friendship.
Until five o'clock, when it was dark, the rain outside the window was still falling, with no sign of stopping.
There was really no taxi available here, so she thought about just driving Ning Yanci's car away.
She got up and went upstairs, intending to say goodbye to Ning Yanci.
The bedroom door was closed. She knocked twice, but there was no sound. She pushed it open a little and said to the inside, "I'll drive your car back."
There was no light in the bedroom, and a hoarse voice came from inside: "It's still raining outside. After dinner, let Auntie take you to the guest room to spend the night."
Wen Zhixian rejected his kindness: "I haven't applied the medicine today, I have to go back."
Ning Yanci no longer forced himself: "I'll have someone take you home after dinner."
Wen Zhihan thought that it was okay. It was raining, and if her legs suddenly started to hurt, it would be unsafe for her to go back by herself.
"Okay." She said, closed the bedroom door, and went downstairs.
Auntie has prepared dinner and invited her to the restaurant.
Just after finishing the meal, there was a noise outside the door. A man came in and said to Wen Zhixian, "Miss Wen, the master asked me to take you home."
She stood up and said goodbye to her aunt, who handed her an umbrella.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she was hit by a cold wind. She cursed the weather in her heart, saying it was crazy!
The chill disappeared only after I got on the bus.
The driver took her downstairs, and Wen Zhihan opened her umbrella and went back.
When she got home, she immediately turned on the thermostat, took a hot bath, changed her clothes, and rushed back to the bedroom. She sat on the bed and applied medicine to the scar on her leg.
She feels sad every time she sees the scars on her legs, but fortunately she has started anti-scar treatment and it is better now than before.
After applying the medicine, she put down her folded legs of her pajamas.
She took out her cell phone and saw the pinned message. The last message she and Qi Yanjing exchanged was frozen in summer.
She didn't know how long she would have to wait like this.
She held the furry little cat that Qi Yanjing had given her and stroked it several times.
She tucked the kitten into her quilt, put down her phone and went to sleep.
The phone she had just put down suddenly lit up. She took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but she still picked it up.
After the call was connected, the other end was still silent. Wen Zhixian asked: "Hello?"
If there was no more sound from that end, she would be ready to hang up.
"Hello."
Wen Zhixian was stunned when he heard the voice. This voice was so familiar.
Gu Yuchen.
I haven't heard from him since I was discharged from the hospital. It was really unbelievable that I suddenly received a call from him two months later.
She didn't know what to say and felt that Gu Yuchen was a little strange.
"It's very presumptuous of me to call you. How are you doing?"
Song Kairui had asked him before if he wanted to know the forgotten part of his memory, and he said no. However, after being discharged from the hospital, he dreamed of that figure almost every night, and it became clearer and clearer.
It wasn't that he wanted to find the answer, but the answer came to him.
The more Wen Zhixian listened, the more surprised he became. This was Gu Yuchen's voice, for sure. However, this gentle and peaceful voice was completely different from Gu Yuchen's.
She had felt something was strange as early as the time they met in the hospital, but she was only thinking about Qi Yanjing and didn't care that much about Gu Yuchen, so she didn't ask.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Gu Yuchen responded: "My last name is Gu."
Yes, that's him.
"After listening to some of what Song Kairui said before, I guess that person should be you." He paused and added, "Many things in the past were my fault. I should have said sorry to you a long time ago."
He murmured again, "I'm sorry."
"I..." He suddenly stopped talking and chuckled, "Sorry to bother you. Good night."
Wen Zhixian stared at the hung up call in a daze for a long time. Was he abnormal? Was his brain really damaged?
She sat up suddenly and called Song Kairui.
After the call was connected, she immediately asked, "Kai Rui, is there any problem with Gu Yuchen after the last car accident?"
Song Kairui was a little drunk and asked lazily, "Did he look for you?"
"He just called me, and it didn't sound like him at all. I wondered if I heard him wrongly. Did he have amnesia?"
Song Kairui laughed a few times: "There is indeed memory loss, but only the part about you is missing. The doctor said that the brain was severely damaged to protect it, and it selectively forgot the most painful people and things, so it forgot you."
He laughed non-stop, "Hey, my mother said before that if he had a high fever and lost his memory at home, everyone would be happy. It actually came true. How wonderful."
Wen Zhixian asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
She felt that there was something wrong with Song Kairui, but she didn't know what it was. Maybe it was because they had known each other for so long that she could notice any abnormality.
"It's okay, I just drank too much."
Wen Zhixian said "Oh" and said, "Then drink less. It's raining outside, so be careful when you go back."
Song Kairui sighed after hearing this, "You said..."
He stopped talking halfway, and Wen Zhixian laughed: "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense when you're drunk, hang up, go home early."
Song Kairui responded, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, she felt that something must have happened and she was too depressed to even talk.
But my thoughts returned to what Song Kairui said about Gu Yuchen having selective amnesia.
Then it all makes sense.
But when she thought about what Song Kairui had just said, that Gu Yuchen had forgotten the people and things that made him suffer, she was completely speechless.
What was he suffering from? It hurt so much when he slapped her.
The classic quote "You lost only your legs, but I lost my love!" comes to my mind.
She put down her phone, turned off the light, and fell asleep hugging the furry kitten.
-
The next morning.
After she woke up, she subconsciously reached for the phone under her pillow to check the time, but as soon as the screen turned on, she was bombarded with messages from Wen Huaixu, Qin Zhaoli, and Song Kairui.
She was a little confused.
