That meant there must be something wrong, and it wasn't just her illusion.

Zhu Weidong fried two dishes for dinner, both of which were light. It was obvious that Zhu Weidong had a light taste.

Ji Ling doesn't care what to eat.

After dinner, when the table was cleared, the three Zhu brothers, who had received the news, came back.

Zhu Heping was the first to come back. He came up to Zhu Weidong and talked about the fight with Kang Xiaohua. He heard that Uncle Kang had come in the afternoon.

Zhu Heping was surprised, "Brother, what did Uncle Kang talk to you about?"

"Some things at school." Zhu Weidong didn't say much.

Zhu Heping wanted to ask more questions, but Zhu Weiyue and Zhu Weiming came back together.

Naturally, they started talking about Zhu Weidong again. Zhu Weiyue looked curious and asked, "Brother, you married your sister-in-law. Does she know that you are sick?"

"What's wrong?" Ji Ling came out of the kitchen carrying some fruits and looked at the four brothers.

She didn't spend long in the kitchen washing fruit. She just wanted to listen to the conversation between the brothers. Sure enough, she heard something wrong and came out immediately.

Zhu Weiyue pursed his lips and said nothing.

The three of them exchanged glances, and finally looked at Zhu Weidong together.

Zhu Weidong said, "No illness."

He said it seriously and his expression was serious too.

Ji Ling believed what he said for a while.

But Zhu Weiyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When he smiled, Zhu Heping couldn't help but smile too.

Even Zhu Weiming smiled faintly.

Ji Ling knew that Zhu Weidong was lying. She put on a fake smile and walked over to put the fruit on the coffee table. "Eat slowly."

Then, he turned and went upstairs.

She didn't dare to ask in front of her brothers-in-law. She didn't believe that Zhu Weidong could avoid her forever.

And Ji Ling was a little excited. She knew it was not an illusion and Zhu Weidong did have a secret.

Downstairs, the three Zhu brothers were watching the fun without fear of trouble.

"Brother, you are sick, why don't you admit it?"

Zhu Weidong glanced at Zhu Weiyue indifferently and did not respond.

His attitude also shows that he does not accept what the other party says at all.

Zhu Weiyue looked at the other two and said helplessly, "Why doesn't Big Brother admit that he is sick?"

They both shrugged.

How do they know?

And it has been like this since he was young, and my brother has never thought that he is sick.

Now my sister-in-law doesn't know about this yet, and now they have revealed it to me, my brother can only wish him good luck.

At night, Ji Ling wanted to wait for Zhu Weidong to come upstairs before asking him, but she fell asleep without realizing it, and when she opened her eyes it was already dawn.

She also saw an extra pillow next to the bed, a sign of someone having slept there.

She looked surprised. She didn't even notice that Zhu Weidong slept with her?

Seeing that it was past six o'clock, Ji Ling got up, tidied her hair, and went downstairs. She found that only her mother-in-law was reading the newspaper, and there was no sign of Zhu Weidong.

Kong Siya heard the noise and put down the newspaper, "Xiaoling is up? Come and sit down."

Ji Ling looked up at her mother-in-law and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth again.

After I sat down, I heard my mother-in-law say, "Your skin has been a little dry these days. This is a facial mask my friend gave me. I heard it's very good for moisturizing. I also prepared some for you. You can take it with you when you go back to school."

Ji Ling thanked her, "Mom, where's Weidong?"

Usually she would call her by her full name, but she suddenly changed that in front of her mother-in-law. Ji Ling felt indescribably awkward and uncomfortable all over.

"This kid, he didn't tell you that he was going to work at the company, and he went back to H Province directly?"

Ji Ling shook her head.

Kong Siya said, "I came back late and chatted with him for a while. Maybe it was too late, so he didn't want to wake you up."

Ji Ling: She felt that Zhu Weidong was avoiding her.

Kong Siya saw that she was in deep thought, "Xiaoling, what's the matter? Or you can go to his workplace, I'll give you the address."

Ji Ling shook her head, "It's nothing. I was probably tired from the autumn outing yesterday, so I slept so deeply that I didn't even know he left in the morning."

"He has been like this since he was little. He always leaves quietly when he goes on business trips. If his family didn't know, they would think he was missing if he didn't come back for a few days."

Ji Ling smiled, "He seems to be very careful, but he can be careless sometimes?"

Kong Siya sighed, "He is not careless at all. Because of his face blindness, he has few friends and doesn't interact with his colleagues at work. Apart from work, he is not interested in anything."

"Prosopagnosia?" Ji Ling's mind went blank.

"Yeah, you didn't know?" Kong Siya looked at her daughter-in-law's shocked expression. What else did she not understand? "He didn't tell you?"

Ji Ling shook her head.

Recalling the scenes when she was with Zhu Weidong, and his seemingly strange yet suggestive behavior.

Combined with face blindness, Ji Ling finally found a solution.

She asked, "Mom, is Weidong's face blindness serious? How serious is it?"

Kong Siya looked sympathetic. "It's so serious that his family can't recognize him. When he was a child, he was abducted to the mountains by someone pretending to be a family member, so he has always concealed his face blindness from the outside world. He has a cold personality and doesn't interact with people. It doesn't affect his work, so no one has noticed."

Ji Ling's face slowly turned red.

She remembered that when she came out of the dormitory yesterday, she saw Zhu Weidong staring at her and calling her name. She thought it was... The truth should be that he was trying to identify her? And when they walked, he lagged behind her by half a step. How could he be so polite? He clearly asked her to lead the way.

Seeing her daughter-in-law's face turn red and blue, Kong Siya was busy defending her son, "Xiaoling, Weidong didn't tell you, so don't blame him. He has his own opinions on this. He never thinks he is sick, nor does he admit that he is sick."

Ji Ling: Then he wasn’t lying when he said he wasn’t sick last night.

This is really "In fact, face blindness won't hinder anything. You are husband and wife, and you will live together in the future. He will recognize you."

"Mom, you said he couldn't even recognize you."

Kong Siya: After a long pause, she said, "Weidong's face blindness is not hereditary, nor is it a developmental type. Although the symptoms are the same as those of the developmental type, he suffered a head injury when he was a child, so he has this problem."

Ji Ling: Seeing her mother-in-law's dry laugh, she smiled back, but also weakly.

On second thought, face blindness is not really a disease. It’s just the inability to recognize people. Nothing else matters.

Since she still had to go to school, Ji Ling didn't stay at home for too long. After finishing the conversation with her mother-in-law, she took her things and went back to school.

Along the way, I was still thinking about every little detail of my time with Zhu Weidong.

She used to think that this man was sick and did many things on purpose, pretending not to know her.

Now that I know he has that problem, I feel like I have wronged him and I feel a little sorry.

After returning to school, time was tight, so Ji Ling went straight to the classroom. Seeing Miao Man waving at her, Ji Ling walked over and sat down next to her.

"Ji Ling, aren't you going to take a leave to accompany your husband today?" Miao Man asked in a low voice before class started.
