When Hua Lan was crying, Chang Le sighed softly and handed him a piece of paper: "I've been thinking about what happened, and I haven't even cried myself. Why is Fourth Brother crying?"
Hua Lanshi's drooping eyelashes trembled, and tears slid down her cheeks. Her voice sounded as if it were about to break:
"I feel guilty, I hate my cowardice, I hate myself... I'm powerless..."
He was an excellent doctor, but he couldn't save his teacher, his mother, his sister, or even himself.
Chang Le looked at him calmly.
There are still things between them that are unclear.
The source of her soft heart towards Hua Lanshi is still unknown; the reason for Hua Lanshi's kindness towards her is still unclear.
Memories connect in segments, yet subtle mysteries remain at the points of connection.
How did Ye Buqi manage to preserve a part of herself? How does that part remain with her to this day, and why is she unwilling to show herself?
Was Wei Zi's breakdown on the night she was ostracized simply because she was too frightened?
Another crucial point is that her memories only begin from when she appeared to be four or five years old.
What about before?
Is there a long period of time that remains unknown?
But right now, Chang Le just wants to calm down and recover her feelings about the two memories.
She said to Hua Lanshi, "Fourth Brother, I have something else to ask you. Is Xiao Fu here? I'd like to ask for leave for him and take him out for a while."
Hua Lan Shi suppressed her grief and nodded: "Yes, he is. I'll go and call him."
"Um."
Chang Le left the laboratory with Fu Guang.
When not in front of Hua Lan, Chang Le's faint smile faded.
She was not as calm as she had appeared in front of Hua Lan. The excruciating pain was buried deep inside her, and even after the passage of time, it remained etched in her heart when she recalled it.
Hua Lanshi had already sent the electronic version of the adoption certificate to her communicator.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Fu Guang wisely followed silently without saying a word.
Hua Lan watched the two get into the car and leave from the window upstairs, her expression forlorn and her face complicated.
He sat back down in his seat, looking utterly dejected, staring blankly at the adoption certificate on the table. He clasped his hands together, digging his neatly trimmed nails into his palms until they bled.
His breathing quickened, and he suddenly stood up abruptly, staggered to the safe, hurriedly opened it, took out two bottles of medicine, poured them out, and swallowed them all at once. Then, clutching the bottles tightly, he leaned against the safe and slid to the ground as if his soul had been drained.
Hua Lanshi's eyes suddenly reddened, and she hid her expression in the crook of her arms.
A dozen minutes later, someone knocked on the door looking for him. When he opened the door, Hua Lanshi had already returned to her usual elegant appearance, showing no sign of anything amiss.
...
Fu Guang got into the car and then realized that there was another man sitting in it.
She looked to be in her early twenties, with bright blonde hair. She was very attractive and had a flamboyant manner. As soon as she got into the car, her flirtatious eyes had already sized him up and down twice.
Fu Guang looked at Chang Le obediently, waiting for her to introduce him.
“Wang Yao, San Tuyao, are my old friends, just like you,” Chang Le said. “I’d like to introduce you to each other today.”
"Hello, little friend~" Wang Yao put two fingers to his temples and then flew out.
Fu Guang's lips twitched, and he looked at Chang Le with a strange gaze, but Chang Le had already turned his head away.
He forced a smile: "Hello, my name is Fu Guang, and I'm not a child anymore."
"What?" Wang Yao's expression changed, his greasy eyebrows and eyes instantly becoming clean. "What the hell are you?"
Fu Guang helplessly repeated the words: "Fu, Guang, Ren Cun Fu".
Wang Yao's eyes darted strangely between him and Chang Le, then he stretched his head closer to Chang Le, stammering.
Chang Le's eyes hurt from looking at it: "Just say it."
Wang Yao hesitated and said, "No, well, Lele, I've heard about you and that guy, but... but finding a substitute... isn't that a bad idea?"
Chang Le smirked and kicked him in the thigh: "What nonsense are you spouting!"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, Wang Yao responded with a series of "oh oh oh" sounds and turned his head away.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Chang Le rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "You are yourself."
Fu Guang smiled and said, "I know, but Miss, please change my name."
Chang Le was taken aback: "Why? Are you still bothered?"
"No, I just want to say goodbye to my past self completely."
Chang Le's expression was strange for a moment.
The four people around her—Wang Yao, Fu Guang, Chen Wu, and Tao Zi—had all changed their names except for Tao Zi. What was this? Was it fate? Should she change her name too? Maybe she should just use Ye Buqi's name!
"Whatever you want." Chang Le gathered his chaotic thoughts.
“Let me think about it,” Fu Guang said.
Wang Yao turned her head: "Miss, where are we going next?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "Miss," with a hint of teasing. Fu Guang understood the mockery but didn't take it to heart.
Chang Le ignored his deliberate form of address and said, "Go to Fengxin Company."
“Fengxin?” Wang Yao asked, “What are you going there for?” He knew that this company was actually affiliated with the Long faction.
"My man, Chen Wu, is there. I'll take you to see him."
"Alright, you two, get ready!" Wang Yao adjusted the target location and started the car. Although the car had automatic driving, Wang Yao said that since he was just killing time anyway, driving was also a way to practice looking handsome.
Chang Le stared silently out the window, lost in thought.
"arrive."
The car stopped at Fengxin Company, and the three of them got out. Fu Guang suddenly spoke up: "Miss, I've made up my mind."
"What?"
"name."
