Chapter 2: Strange Mother He has been awake for so long, and the other members have also...
Li Xi naturally didn't want to answer the call.
Two years have passed, and there is no resentment anymore. Time can erase all the past, good or bad. Those insurmountable obstacles and things that you thought would never change will fade away and settle. The initial anger and sadness can still be recalled, but it does not arouse too much emotion in Li Xi.
But he didn't know how to deal with this strange mother. His mind was too confused.
The ringing continued. The lead singer Wu Xingye's gentle voice had already finished the first section. Rong Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to answer it?"
Li Xi sighed silently in his heart and picked up the phone.
“Lanlan!” As soon as the call was connected, the voice on the other end almost burst into tears, “Lanlan, you scared your mother to death…”
Li Xi didn't respond, so she hurriedly asked, "Lanlan, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Did you fall anywhere?"
"…I'm fine."
"What do you mean it's okay? It's okay. Your voice isn't right!" Her son's answer made her even more worried. In the past, Jiang Yilan would act like a spoiled child in front of her when he was not feeling well, but today he said calmly and calmly that he was fine.
"Lanlan, who's with you? Give him the phone."
Jiang Yilan looked up at Rong Xiao and handed the phone over.
Rong Xiao took it and said, "Hello, Mr. Wei, I am Rong Xiao."
"Xiao Rong, what happened to Lan Lan? He sounds so wrong to me. Tell me the truth and don't hide it from me."
"He's fine, don't worry. He just woke up and may not be in a good mood, but he is physically fine. The doctor is here too."
"Okay, I just got off the plane and am in the car now. I will be at the hospital soon. Please take good care of me. Thank you for your hard work."
"I will, don't worry." Rong Xiao comforted.
After hanging up the phone, Rong Xiao looked at Jiang Yilan who was silent and lowered his head, "Your mother will be at the hospital soon."
But Jiang Yilan just stared at his open hands, as if he was studying something, or as if he was just in a daze.
After the doctor left, the three of them chatted for a few more words. Then the door of the ward was hurriedly opened and Jiang Yilan's mother Wei Qiyao arrived.
"Lanlan!"
When Wei Qiyao ran over, Li Xi instinctively stepped back with his entire back pressed against the head of the bed.
After her hand was held, Wei Qiyao felt relieved when she saw that he was really not injured.
Li Xi tried to pull her hand away, but Wei Qiyao held it tightly. Facing her worried and distressed eyes, Li Xi couldn't bear it for a moment.
Wei Qiyao raised her hand to touch his face, the pain in her eyes almost overflowing, "You have lost weight, do you know that?"
Her tone was regretful again: "I told you not to be a star a long time ago. You have nothing at home and you have to suffer like this. What would you want your mother to do if something happened to you today?"
It was something he had never experienced before: the worry and love from a mother. Li Xi could only repeat stiffly, "I'm fine."
Wei Qiyao looked even sadder. Li Xi knew that his current performance must be very different from the real Jiang Yilan. He didn't know what Jiang Yilan was like in front of his mother. Even if he knew, he couldn't act it out.
"Actually..." Li Xi started to speak. It would be better to give the excuse of amnesia as soon as possible to avoid more and more loopholes. "I don't remember a lot of things when I woke up."
Wei Qiyao was stunned for a moment, "I don't remember...what does that mean?"
"That is, I probably only remember who I am and some common sense stuff, and the rest... I don't remember much."
Wei Qiyao was completely stunned. Combined with her son's strange attitude towards her, she opened her eyes wide in disbelief, opened her mouth slightly and then closed it again. After a few seconds, she asked in a trembling voice: "You... don't even remember your mother?"
Li Wei nodded and said "hmm".
"How...how is this possible..." Wei Qiyao found it hard to believe that such a ridiculous thing would happen to her. "Are you kidding me?"
Li Xi didn't answer. She turned around to look at the two people behind her and got the answers she didn't want from Rong Xiao and Xiao Cheng's faces.
After a long silence, Wei Qiyao cried. Li Xi could only watch silently as this mother who loved her son dearly cried because her son had forgotten her.
He couldn't imagine how devastated Wei Qiyao would be if she knew her real son had been replaced.
"You will recover slowly, right?" But Wei Qiyao adjusted quickly. She wiped her tears and forced a smile to Li Xi.
"Perhaps."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei. The doctor just said that this is only temporary. Maybe after a good sleep, Yilan will remember it tomorrow." Rong Xiao said from behind.
"Yes, it's only temporary." Wei Qiyao agreed quickly, nodding several times as if to comfort herself. She turned around and said to Rong Xiao and Xiao Cheng, "You have worked hard taking care of Lan Lan. Go back and have a rest. I'll be here for you."
"Okay, Mr. Wei, if you need anything, please contact me. Xiao Cheng and I will go back first. You can chat with Yi Lan for a while."
The two left, leaving only mother and son in the ward. Wei Qiyao also brought her assistant with her, who was waiting outside the door. Wei Qiyao asked: "Lanlan, are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask Shu Lin to buy it... Oh, you don't remember Shu Lin, right? Shu Lin is my assistant, you know him too."
Li Xi shook his head. He really had no appetite.
"You can't not eat anything. I'll ask Shu Lin to buy something. You eat a little and then go to bed early. We will go home tomorrow." Wei Qiyao went to call the assistant outside the door.
She still found it hard to believe that her son had forgotten her. When she came back, she kept talking to Li Xi about family matters, trying to make Li Xi remember something.
But what Li Xi is thinking about now is his real relative, his sister Li Mo.
Not knowing whether Li Mo had received the news of his death, Li Xi felt a dull pain in his heart. He knew how heartbroken Li Mo must be.
Moreover, Li Xi had the accident on his way back from visiting her. He and his sister had not seen each other for two weeks. His sister urged him several times to go to the school to find him and take him to the newly opened spicy hot pot restaurant in the cafeteria, which was cheap and delicious.
Li Mo will definitely blame herself, even though it is not her fault at all.
Li Xi was lost in thought. Wei Qiyao called out "Lanlan" several times before Li Xi realized that she was calling him.
"Um?"
Wei Qiyao's eyes were full of disappointment, but she quickly concealed it and held Li Xi's hand again, saying in a gentle voice, "I said, Aunt Zhou was at home yesterday complaining about why you didn't go home for so long. I told her, 'Lanlan is busy with the concert.' She doesn't go online much, but she was also looking for your concert video on her phone."
"Yeah."
"Yes, I can find a lot of clips, but they were all taken by your fans, so they are not very clear." Wei Qiyao smiled when she talked about this, "Your father also watched it. He always acted like he didn't care, but he was actually watching it secretly. I know everything."
"Your father is in the United States now. I haven't told him yet, otherwise he would definitely come with me." Wei Qiyao said again.
They are a really close family. Li Xi thought.
Jiang Yilan's personality is so domineering because his parents love him so much that they spoil him, and his family is wealthy.
His soul attached itself to Jiang Yilan, so what about Jiang Yilan? Did it just disappear like that?
Maybe when he wakes up tomorrow, Jiang Yilan will come back, but his soul will cease to exist along with his body and disappear completely from this world.
"You should stay in a hotel tonight. It's hard to rest in the ward." Li Xi said to Wei Qiyao, "I'm fine."
Wei Qiyao hesitated to speak, "...Okay." She obviously wanted to stay and accompany her son, but seeing that Jiang Yilan was somewhat resistant, she felt uncomfortable but had to go along with him.
Later, Wei Qiyao went to talk to the doctor again before leaving reluctantly. Finally, he was the only one left in the room. Li Xi leaned against the head of the bed for a while before he opened his cell phone and checked Weibo.
Jiang Yilan’s Weibo update frequency is quite stable, and most of the posts are his own selfies. The previous Weibo post was about “the last show of the national tour”, with an attached selfie of herself with makeup done and making a “V” sign to the camera.
He flipped through a few posts and found that Jiang Yilan and other members of the group basically did not interact on Weibo.
Li Xi opened WeChat again, found the To5 group, and started looking through the chat history.
There aren’t many chat records in this group, all of them are about official business, and Captain Rong Xiao is the one who speaks the most.
Li Xi scrolled to the bottom of the WeChat chat box but could only find the single chat box with Rong Xiao. There were no individual chats with the other three members.
He had been awake for so long, but the other members hadn't asked him a single question.
Maybe the relationship between their group is just so indifferent, or maybe Jiang Yilan just doesn't get along with the others.
When he was still a trainee, Li Xi only had good relationships with the people in his dormitory. He was not a sociable person. He knew Rong Xiao, who was a well-known nice guy and got along well with everyone when he was a trainee. The lead singer is Wu Xingye, and the lead dancer is Tang Ruining. Their professional abilities are beyond doubt. Wu Xingye is the most recognized singer among that group of trainees. Although he is not the best in singing skills, his singing quotient is definitely higher than others. Listening to him sing is very immersive, and he knows how to touch people's hearts.
Tang Ruining joined the company earlier than Li Xi. The first time Li Xi watched other trainees dance was when he was dancing, with an attitude of learning and observing. Tang Ruining's dancing skills are good enough to make him half a teacher for them, but he has a cold personality and few trainees will go to him for help. After Tang Ruining finished dancing that time, the trainees who were watching applauded him, but he didn't give any response. He took a towel, wiped his sweat and walked away without saying anything.
The youngest member of the group is Yuan Zhiyan, the main rapper. He has a lively personality and calls everyone "brother". He was also the last to join the company. The thing that Li Wei remembered most about him was one time in the cafeteria. He came in with a few other people. He hurried in shouting "I'm starving", got a full plate of food, and ate it with great relish. Several other people laughed at him and said that he was still growing, but he cheerfully said that he was not full yet.
Although she was not familiar with them, Li Xi was happy when she found out that she would debut with them.
He slowly remembered to search the internet for news about the car accident, and sure enough, on a certain social platform, quite a few people had posted related posts, including several partially blurred photos of a car with a deformed front end, shattered glass, and a blood-stained doll.
[It was so scary. I was just across the street and was about to cross. The red light saved me. My legs are so weak now. . 】
[Is the blurred image a corpse?] How many people?
[It seems like there is only one, so tragic, the ground is covered with blood]
[Is the driver dead?]
[Have the results of the investigation come out? Was it a deliberate revenge on society or was the car out of control?]
[I see it’s another train accident. I told you so.]
[The RZ tram upstairs has passed your ancestral grave. This one is blue. Are you blind?]
[Ask for a horseless picture, I want to see it]
…
Before going to bed, the doctor came to see him again, mainly to calm him down and tell him that temporary amnesia could be slowly recovered.
Li Xi said okay and thanked the doctor. He thought it would be difficult for him to fall asleep tonight. If he was still in this body when he woke up tomorrow, what he must do was to go back to find his sister as soon as possible and tell her that he was not dead.
