Chapter 1054: Chapter 1051: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Side Story (12)
"Aunt Ying Zi, there really is no need for me to stay at your place..."
Apart from not wanting to disturb others, she feared that staying there would, after spending extensive time together, make Zhu Qianying realize that Yan Xu had lost a part of his memory.
"Xiao Lu Zi, are you worried about bothering us, or do you find it inconvenient?"
When Zhu Qianying asked this, Bai Lu found it hard to decline any further and could only say, "Well then, I will stay temporarily for a couple of days, and once Yan Xu’s condition has stabilized, we can decide what to do next."
So it was settled. After dinner, Bai Lu escorted the elders back to the hospital and then returned to her apartment to pack some luggage, preparing for her temporary stay at the Yan Family’s place.
The next day, Bai Lu bought breakfast for several people early in the morning and went to the hospital, where Zhu Qianying and Yan Han were having breakfast in the hospital room. Bai Lu followed Director Luo throughout the whole process, accompanying Yan Xu as he underwent a series of examinations.
After the check-up was over, Yan Han and Zhu Qianying went to handle Yan Xu’s paperwork, while Bai Lu stayed behind in the hospital room to have breakfast with Yan Xu.
Bai Lu bought herself glutinous rice balls and soup dumplings, while for Yan Xu, as usual, it was the special porridge for patients.
Yan Xu had been eating his porridge for a while and didn’t feel anything was amiss initially, since there had been no comparison. But now, with just a bowl of bland porridge in front of him and Bai Lu enjoying glutinous rice balls and soup dumplings, feelings of severe injustice started to well up inside him.
"Doctor Bai, I should be able to eat some other food now, right?"
Bai Lu had just bitten through the skin of a soup dumpling and was savoring the delicious meaty broth, smacking her lips and giving him a sidelong glance, "Director Luo said to keep your diet light..."
Yan Xu pointed at her dumpling, "Aren’t dumplings light?"
Bai Lu couldn’t be bothered with him, "Whether it’s light or not isn’t for me to say. Doesn’t the Grandpa’s family have a nutritionist? I will let my master outline your dietary requirements and needs, so the nutritionist can determine a dietary menu for you."
Yan Xu glared at her, "Doctor Bai, are you targeting me?"
Bai Lu took a sip of her soymilk, "Dear Young Master Yan, why would I target you? Professionally, you’re just my patient, and as a doctor, I want to ensure that my patients can recover and be discharged as soon as possible. If I were to harm you, it would ruin my reputation. Personally, you’re like a brother to me. It’s true we haven’t seen each other for over a decade, but when you were little, you used to follow me around and affectionately call me ’sister’. Why would I have any reason to target you?"
Bai Lu was relying on Yan Xu’s memory loss, so she exaggerated and twisted the facts.
It was true that she and he had a good relationship when they were children, but the boy, Xiao Lizi, had always been extremely resistant to calling her sister.
This was known by the two of them and their parents, Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao.
With only Yan Xu around at the moment, Bai Lu took the opportunity to playfully claim some verbal advantage over him.
Yan Xu stared at her, firmly stating, "Impossible!"
When his parents were not around, Yan Xu was full of suspicion towards Bai Lu. He even doubted whether those childhood experiences she talked about were fabricated as a scheme to get close to him.
But after his parents returned, the information revealed through their conversations, as well as the way his parents interacted with Bai Lu, seemed to confirm that he and Bai Lu indeed knew each other from before and that they had a very good relationship as children, as she claimed.
Even though he couldn’t remember any interactions with Bai Lu from his childhood, and he didn’t even remember having such a person in his life, his intuition still told him that it was impossible for him to have called her sister.
Don’t ask him why; it just felt off!
Bai Lu glanced at him, chose not to argue anymore, and stuffed the last soup dumpling into her mouth, chewing while she looked down and typed on her mobile phone.
She’d just received a message on WeChat from her beloved younger brother, Xiaoyan, "Big sis, I heard you’re going to live with baby boy brother? Seize the opportunity, or you’ll end up an old maid."
Bai Lu responded softly with a "tch," that rascal, always so well-informed!
But she was moving in for a few days for work, not to live together.
"Baby, wash your brain, your sister is here to treat and save people."
After replying, Bai Lu put her mobile phone on the coffee table with a click and looked up at Yan Xu, "Finished eating? Do you want me to get you another bowl?"
Yan Xu placed the empty bowl on the bedside cabinet, "No need, it tasted awful!"
Bai Lu then stood up to clear away the bowl and spoke indifferently, "Then you can go home and eat, your family must have made a lot of delicious food for you."
As she finished tidying up, Zhu Qianying and Yan Han, accompanied by Director Luo, entered the hospital room to handle the discharge procedures.
"Don’t worry, Young Master Yan is still young, and given Young Master Yan’s physical condition, a period of recuperation will definitely restore him to his former state."
Director Luo reassured Zhu Qianying and her husband with a long comforting speech and advised Yan Xu to rest at home after discharge.
After Director Luo had said all that needed to be said, he turned to leave, but at the door, he turned back and gestured to Bai Lu.
"Xiao Bai, come over and hand over your work for the moment."
Bai Lu followed him out and trailed behind him into the elevator.
"About Yan Xu’s partial memory loss, I am keeping it from his parents for the time being, as per Yan Xu’s own request. Moving forward, you need to closely monitor this aspect of his situation, and if you find any other memory loss, you must immediately inform me."
Bai Lu was not surprised by Yan Xu’s request.
"The brain examination results were not problematic, right?"
Just now, she had accompanied Yan Xu straight back to the hospital room from the examination room. Other than some results that were immediately available, she had not yet seen the rest of the examination results.
"No problems..."
The elevator doors opened, and the master and apprentice walked out one after the other.
"Actually, during the time you lived together, he was only around five years old, so it’s not strange at all that he does not remember a thing."
If it were someone else, Bai Lu would also find it not strange, but when it came to Yan Xu, she felt it was impossible.
The time they spent living together was too important to her. She thought that until she grew old, she would never be able to forget it.
She believed Yan Xu felt the same.
Therefore, he could only have completely lost that part of his memory, not merely forgotten!
But such thoughts, Bai Lu also found them difficult to express to Director Luo.
"Hmm, I will observe him for a while longer."
For Yan Xu, losing this small fragment of his memory would not inconvenience or affect his life and work in any way, so at this point, Director Luo did not regard it as a serious concern.
"Alright, report back to me if you have any problems. I think Yan Xu’s parents treat you quite well. The following work should be quite easy for you."
Though he said it was easy, in reality, it was not necessarily so.
Bai Lu was actually quite conflicted.
On one hand, having more time to spend with Yan Xu indeed made her happy.
But on the other hand, she also feared that Yan Xu might resist such prolonged interaction.
With his current temperament, getting too close might provoke even greater dislike in him.
