Inside the house.
Hearing this, Si Moshen frowned slightly on his handsome face and stared intently at Uncle Shen. "Not coming back?"
He didn't think Chi Yu would abandon Jiang Zhirou just because of an argument.
He even less believed that Chi Yu would just leave and never return.
Since Uncle Shen said he wasn't coming back, there must be something he didn't know.
Meeting Si Moshen's inquiring gaze, Uncle Shen nodded reluctantly, and even his voice sounded a bit guilty. "Yes... That's what Mr. Chi said."
"Uncle Shen."
Si Moshen called out to him, his voice carrying a seriousness he had never had before.
"Why did Chi Yu suddenly go back?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Uncle Shen's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that the fact that Chi Yu had donated blood to Si Moshen would eventually be known to him after he woke up, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Seeing Uncle Shen's hesitant look, Si Moshen's suspicion deepened. He asked patiently again.
"Why did Chi Yu suddenly go back?"
Uncle Shen looked at him, sighed, and finally told him everything about Chi Yu donating blood to him after he fainted that day.
After listening, Si Moshen frowned. Uncle Shen didn't know what he was thinking. It was a long time before he spoke.
"How is he now?"
Uncle Shen quickly replied, "He's awake and is fine now."
Hearing that Chi Yu was okay, Si Moshen heaved a heavy sigh of relief.
Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Does Zhizhi know about this?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, just as Uncle Shen was about to answer, there was suddenly a sound of something dropping outside the door.
Their gazes shifted to the door at the same time.
Uncle Shen strode over and opened the bedroom door. There was nothing outside.
Uncle Shen closed the door again and walked to Si Moshen's bedside. "It should be the wild cats nearby. It's getting cold, and wild cats sometimes run into the manor."
Si Moshen frowned slightly. "Tell someone to be more careful. Don't let wild cats into the house in the future. Zhizhi doesn't like small animals very much. Also, tell someone to build a cat house in the front yard. If any more wild cats come in, take them there."
"Yes, Third Master." Uncle Shen nodded respectfully and answered the question Si Moshen had asked before. "Mr. Chi specifically instructed before that he didn't want Miss Zhizhi to know about the blood donation."
Hearing this, a fleeting look flashed in Si Moshen's eyes, but it disappeared quickly.
After Jiang Zhirou returned to the bedroom, she still couldn't come to terms with the shock of hearing that Chi Yu had donated blood to Si Moshen.
So, was it because Chi Yu had donated blood to Si Moshen that he had returned to the country for recuperation?
Judging from what she had overheard just now, she was almost certain that Chi Yu had deliberately hidden this from her.
But why?
Why did he hide it from her?
Jiang Zhirou couldn't figure it out. She quickly walked to the bedside table, picked up her phone, and was about to call Chi Yu when she suddenly realized that she didn't have his contact information.
After Chi Yu left Yuelan, she had completely lost touch with him.
She couldn't find him.
But now that Si Moshen had just finished the operation and needed rest, she didn't want to trouble him with her own affairs.
But in the entire Yuelan, besides Si Moshen and Uncle Shen, who else could she ask for news about Chi Yu?
Jiang Zhirou sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, holding her phone.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. Then, she grabbed her phone and rushed out of the bedroom.
Chen Yixia was just about to rest when there was a sudden urgent knock on the door downstairs.
She opened the door and saw Jiang Zhirou out of breath. Thinking something had happened, she became nervous.
"Are you okay, Zhizhi?"
Jiang Zhirou shook her head and stammered.
"Do you... have Chi Yu's phone number? I want to... ask him—"
Jiang Zhirou had run too fast and her words were a bit jumbled. When Chen Yixia heard the words "I want him", her eyes widened.
Suddenly, she grabbed Jiang Zhirou's hand and asked excitedly, "Do you remember?!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Zhirou looked at her blankly. Her face changed. "Remember what? Did I... forget something?"
Meeting Jiang Zhirou's blank gaze, Chen Yixia immediately realized that she hadn't remembered anything.
If Si Moshen knew she had let something slip, he would probably kick her out.
Thinking of this, Chen Yixia forced a smile and tried to change the subject. "It's nothing, Zhizhi. What's the matter with you coming to see me so late?"
Jiang Zhirou could tell at a glance that she was hiding something from her. Her face became serious.
She adjusted her breathing to make her voice normal and then continued.
"Xiaxia, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Chen Yixia shouted in her heart that she was wronged. It wasn't her who was hiding things from Jiang Zhirou, but Si Moshen!!!
But she didn't say this out loud.
"Xiaxia, I forgot the memories related to Chi Yu, right?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, a look of surprise flashed in Chen Yixia's eyes.
Although it was very brief, Jiang Zhirou still caught it clearly.
Even though Chen Yixia didn't say anything, Jiang Zhirou already had the answer in her heart.
No wonder...
No wonder she always felt that her memories were a bit fragmented. No wonder Chi Yu always said some things she didn't understand.
Everything had an answer.
Jiang Zhirou returned to Yuelan dejectedly. From Chen Yixia, she learned that Si Moshen had found someone to hypnotize her.
She knew herself well and also knew Si Moshen well.
There was only one possibility for the hypnosis, which was that she had asked Si Moshen to do it.
She had something she wanted to forget.
But compared to those things she originally wanted to forget, now she wanted to remember them more.
No matter how painful those memories were, they were still a part of her.
Running away was never the way to solve problems.
"Zhizhi."
As soon as Jiang Zhirou stepped into Yuelan, she heard a familiar voice.
She came back to her senses, raised her eyes, and saw Si Moshen sitting on the sofa at a glance.
Jiang Zhirou tried to act as normal as possible.
She smiled at Si Moshen and walked towards him. "It's already winter. The doctor said you can't catch a cold. Why aren't you staying in your room?"
As she spoke, Jiang Zhirou picked up the blanket beside her and covered Si Moshen's legs.
Si Moshen looked up slightly, looked at the woman in front of him, and said softly.
"If you have something on your mind, you can talk to me. After all, I've lived more than a decade longer than you. Maybe I can find an answer to some things."
Jiang Zhirou's hand paused. A look of desolation flashed in her eyes. Then she sat down on the empty seat beside Si Moshen.
She said slowly.
"Si Laosan, if you have a very sad and unforgettable memory... would you choose to forget it?"
