A thought also popped up in Xia Xi's mind - can she pretend to have amnesia?
How else to explain her behavior when she woke up? It was so embarrassing...
Lu Mingji made room beside the bed to make it easier for the doctor to examine Xia Xi. He then reported to the doctor what had happened. "She asked me what year it was and whether she had damaged her brain. That's how it's played out in TV dramas: people with brain injuries wake up with amnesia. They either don't remember who they are, or their memories are stuck in the past. Her case probably falls into the latter category."
doctor:"……"
Xia Xi: “…”
Before she could say anything, the doctor pried open her eyelids and shone a small light into her pupils.
The middle-aged bald doctor asked her, "Are you dizzy?"
Xia Xi nodded, then shook her head and said, "I felt a little dizzy when I first woke up, but I'm not so dizzy now."
The doctor asked again: "Do you have a headache?"
Xia Xi touched the back of her head. No wonder she felt a dull pain somewhere just now. It turned out that there was a bump on the back of her head, which felt hard. Fortunately, her scalp was not broken.
"That's probably where you fell and hit yourself. It's not serious. I'll prescribe some medicine. Apply it on your face in a few days and it will go away. I mean, do you have any other pain?"
"No."
"The brain CT scan is fine, and there's no other trauma. It shouldn't affect my memory." The doctor's expression was a little serious. "Besides not remembering the date, have you forgotten everything else as well?"
Xia Xi suddenly fell silent.
It was too difficult to lie in front of such an authoritative doctor. Xia Xi rubbed his forehead and decided to tell the truth: "Doctor, I don't have amnesia. It's all a misunderstanding. I was confused after sleeping."
Hearing this, Lu Mingji was a little worried: "Are you sure you're okay? Do you remember what happened last night?"
Xia Xi deliberately avoided Xu Yanfeng's gaze. She was completely sober, and naturally remembered everything. Last night was the celebration party for Xu and Boya, attended by members of the design companies that participated in the competition. She was toasted by many people and accidentally drank too much. She retreated to a quiet place to clear her mind, but she didn't expect Xu Yanfeng to appear.
They kissed.
She was drunk at the time and was fooled by Xu Yanfeng's words. She thought that was revenge, but she didn't know that she was just letting him take advantage of her. After she sobered up, she left in a hurry and bumped into Ling Yan without paying attention.
Lingyan's emotions were a little out of control. In addition, she had a misunderstanding with her and they couldn't get along. They had an inexplicable argument, and then an accident happened. She fell down the stairs, hit her head, and fell asleep.
She had a dream in which she recalled her past experiences.
When she just woke up, her mind was still confused. She confused her dream with reality and thought she was on a plane going abroad, and everything in front of her was a dream. That's why she hugged Xu Yanfeng and didn't let him leave.
Xia Xi wanted to pull the quilt over her face.
Lu Mingji was still waiting for her answer: "Hmm?"
Xia Xi said stubbornly, "I remember."
Lu Mingji couldn't rule out the possibility that she was just being stubborn, so he said seriously, "Then tell me what happened last night. How did you fall? Were you drunk and couldn't stand firmly?"
"No." Xia Xi was vague, "...I had a small conflict with someone."
"Who? Who did you have a conflict with?"
He was not at the scene at the time, but when he heard the noise and rushed over, he saw Xu Yanfeng carrying Xia Xi and rushing through the crowd. His anxiety and panic were hidden under his tense face, and he shouted in a hoarse voice to the driver to drive.
Lu Mingji turned his gaze to the man with a strong presence. Could it be Xu Yanfeng?
Xu Yanfeng and Xia Xi had once been in a relationship. From what he had observed, their breakup had been rather unhappy. However, Xu Yanfeng didn't give him the impression that he would have a conflict with Xia Xi...
Before he could speculate further, someone knocked on the ward door, interrupting his thoughts.
The doctor was still here. After confirming that Xia Xi was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you're worried, stay in the hospital for a day for observation. If you don't have any other symptoms, you can be discharged. Drink less alcohol in the future. A fall on the head is no small matter."
Xia Xi felt ashamed and thanked the doctor.
The doctor walked out and avoided the woman who had just entered.
Xia Xi looked at Ling Yan who was slowly approaching with a strange expression: "Why are you here?"
Ling Yan was holding the nutritional supplements in her hand and glanced at Xu Yanfeng first. She had not forgotten the look he gave her when Xia Xi got into trouble last night. It was as sharp as a knife and gleamed with coldness.
She didn't sleep the whole night, and when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with that look.
She was afraid of being misunderstood by Xu Yanfeng, and also afraid that something bad would happen to Xia Xi. She would be the guilty party, and she would never be able to clear herself of the blame. So she asked the family driver to take her to the hospital early in the morning. When she heard the doctor say that Xia Xi was not seriously injured, her worries were greatly relieved.
"I came to see you and apologize." Ling Yan put down what she was holding and shifted her gaze to the hospital bed. She spoke slowly and clearly, wanting to tell someone else, "You should know that I didn't mean to do that, and I didn't push you. At that time, I let go of your hand, and you just struggled to get free, and you lost your balance and fell."
This was the fact, she did not lie, but from the perspective of an observer, it seemed like she pushed Xia Xi, which caused Xia Xi to fall down the stairs.
In idol dramas, the supporting female characters often use this trick to frame the heroine. Xia Xi shouldn't be that low-level.
Xia Xi really didn't want to wrongly accuse her. Her fall was an accident, but was this accident really unrelated to Ling Yan? Not necessarily.
"You seem to have overlooked one thing. If you hadn't grabbed my wrist and forced an argument with me, the accident wouldn't have happened at all." Xia Xi leaned against the headboard, much shorter than the others, but with a strong presence. "Are you so anxious to distance yourself from me? Are you afraid that I'll blackmail you? There's no need to be."
