After hanging up the phone, Chi Yu sat on the edge of the bed, with Jiang Shu's words echoing in his mind.
The scenes of his time with Jiang Zhirou in the past period kept flashing through his mind like a carousel.
The more Chi Yu tried to forget, the more vivid the memories became.
It was as if they had taken root in his mind.
I don't know how much time had passed when Chi Yu suddenly stood up, picked up the coat beside him, and quickly left Yuhaiwan.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Ruikang Hospital.
Chi Yu walked straight towards Ji Bai's office.
The office door was tightly closed. Chi Yu knocked for a long time, but no one opened it.
He went back to the first - floor information desk. "Has Ji Bai not come yet?"
The on - duty nurse was stunned for a moment when she saw his bruised face. She thought he was there to get his wounds treated. "Mr. Chi, the dean won't be on duty for another two hours. How about I ask a nurse to treat the wounds on your face first?"
Chi Yu shook his head. "No, thank you. I'll go upstairs and wait for him."
After saying that, Chi Yu turned around and left. The nurse wanted to stop him, but he had already quickly disappeared around the stair corner.
As soon as Ji Bai stepped out of the elevator, he saw Chi Yu leaning against the door of his office.
For such a clean - freak person, he was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and his hair was not neatly combed as usual but casually scattered on his forehead.
Ji Bai stepped out of the elevator and walked a few steps to Chi Yu's side.
"Here to get your wounds treated?"
He asked deliberately.
There was a 90% chance that Chi Yu was here today because of Qing Mian.
Ji Bai deliberately pretended to be stupid.
Hearing this, a flash of uneasiness quickly crossed Chi Yu's eyes. After holding it in for a long time, he let out a grunt.
Ji Bai almost burst out laughing at his coy look.
But he held it back and put on a serious face.
"You don't have to wait for me to treat your wounds. The nurses in our hospital are not useless. They can handle these minor injuries."
Chi Yu frowned slightly. "I don't like other women touching me."
Saying this, Chi Yu naturally sat down on the sofa beside him.
Hearing his words, Ji Bai let out a soft laugh. He picked up a cotton swab, dipped it in alcohol, and then placed it on the wound at the corner of Chi Yu's lips.
Seeing that Chi Yu didn't react, he deliberately pressed down hard.
At this press, Chi Yu gave him a sidelong glance. "… You don't have to take revenge for your wife like this, do you?"
Ji Bai's little trick was exposed. He awkwardly coughed twice and threw the cotton swab into the trash can not far away.
"You know Wen Xi. In terms of friends, her world is black - and - white. You suddenly kicked Qing Mian out like that. It's normal for her to be angry with you."
"It's not Qing Mian."
Chi Yu turned his face away and immediately retorted.
Ji Bai sighed helplessly and didn't intend to argue with him on this issue.
He wanted to see how awkward this guy could be.
After all, it was rare to see Young Master Chi so at a loss. It was worth taking a good look.
Ji Bai stopped talking and silently treated the wounds on Chi Yu's face.
After a while.
Chi Yu's gaze fell on Ji Bai. He hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth.
"What did you mean that day when you said… the previous treatment direction for Qing Mian was wrong?"
As soon as the words were out, Ji Bai's hand paused. He looked at Chi Yu playfully.
"Finally can't hold it in anymore? Finally want to ask?"
Ji Bai said to Chi Yu in a teasing tone.
Chi Yu didn't answer. A flash of embarrassment crossed his face.
Ji Bai got up, walked to the cabinet, and rummaged through it to find Qing Mian's medical records.
"We always thought that Qing Mian had dissociative mental disorder. But from her current performance, it's highly likely that there are no other personalities in her. It's always been herself from beginning to end.
"Or, to be more precise, except for the few years when she lived with Shen Yu'an as 'Shen Qing Mian', most of the other time, she was Jiang Zhirou herself. But for some unknown reason, she doesn't seem to be aware of it. She even puts herself into the role of 'Shen Qing Mian'. In current research, there has never been a case like Qing Mian's. So, to find the cause, we can only start with Jiang Zhirou herself."
Listening to Ji Bai's explanation, Chi Yu wanted to ask something else, but at the same time, he didn't know what to ask.
Ji Bai had already made it very clear.
Shen Qing Mian was Jiang Zhirou, and Jiang Zhirou was Shen Qing Mian.
If he inferred according to Ji Bai's statement, he didn't even know who he loved.
Was it the innocent and simple Shen Qing Mian protected by Shen Yu'an, or the Jiang Zhirou who liked to solve problems on her own?
Chi Yu didn't know. He opened his mouth but finally said nothing.
Ji Bai seemed to see through his thoughts. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"I know it's hard for you to accept such a thing all at once. Just give each other some time. Maybe Jiang Zhirou has the same thoughts as you now. You both need to give each other time."
When he heard Ji Bai's words "Maybe Jiang Zhirou has the same thoughts as you now", a flash of panic inexplicably crossed Chi Yu's eyes.
Suddenly, he remembered the engagement contract between Si Moshen and Jiang Zhirou. He quickly stood up from the sofa.
If she had already resumed using the identity of Jiang Zhirou, wouldn't she have to marry Si Moshen?!
Thinking of this, Chi Yu quickly left Ji Bai's office.
Less than two minutes later, he came back.
He tightly grabbed Ji Bai's shoulders with both hands.
"Does Wen Xi have her current contact information?"
Ji Bai was startled by him and subconsciously nodded.
"Hurry." Chi Yu took out his phone and handed it to Ji Bai. "Call Wen Xi and ask her to give me the number."
Seeing his anxious look, Ji Bai had to tell him a cruel truth.
"The phone is already turned off. You can't get through. Even if Wen Xi gives you the number, you won't be able to contact her. The call Jiang Zhirou made to Wen Xi that day was a farewell. It's highly likely that she won't come back to the imperial capital."
Hearing this, Chi Yu couldn't help but roar.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Then he turned around and quickly left the office without looking back.
Ji Bai watched Chi Yu's departing back. After coming back to his senses, he whispered, "You didn't ask earlier either."
After leaving the hospital, Chi Yu immediately called Song Jinghao.
The phone was quickly answered.
"Your call is just in time. The company—"
"Book me a plane ticket to Country A."
Song Jinghao was so busy that he didn't even have time to catch his breath. His words were interrupted by Chi Yu before he could finish.
"What… what?"
"What are you going to Country A for? The company has already been transferred back to the country. Big brother, stop acting on a whim. Shu Yi is now making a fuss about terminating the contract again. You should come and deal with it quickly."
Chi Yu didn't care about Shu Yi or Ma Yi now. His mind was full of the thought of Jiang Zhirou marrying Si Moshen.
