Chapter 1081: Chapter 1078: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (39)

Bai Lu really wasn’t afraid that Yan Xu would eat her; she was genuinely worried about his body.

The two of them entered the elevator, and she even tried to persuade him to give up his original plan.

"Yan Xu, it was Uncle Wen who drove you here, right?"

Yan Xu didn’t wait for her to state her real intentions before interrupting her, "Uncle Wen’s not good at arguing, and if he tries to reason for you, he’s definitely the type who can’t make his point clearly."

"No problem, I’m quite articulate. If it comes to talking, I’ll handle it; if we need to get physical, Uncle Wen will step in. Just with Uncle Wen’s physique, he doesn’t have to say anything to maintain order."

Although Uncle Wen looked to be in his fifties, he had a burly and tall frame, clearly someone who could dominate a fight with sheer strength.

The elevator door opened, and Yan Xu held the door, stepping aside to let Bai Lu out before following her.

"It’s been a while since I last saw your grandfather, I should take this time to visit him."

Yan Xu wasn’t insistent on his own way; after all, no matter what Bai Lu said, he always managed to find a reason to dismiss it.

Bai Lu wasn’t a fussy person. Considering his physical condition, she thought it was much worse compared to his normal state, but still far better than an average person’s. A two to three-hour car ride back and forth would definitely be bearable for him.

"Sigh, do whatever you want. As long as I’m here, you won’t run into any trouble."

Yan Xu’s lips slightly curved, "Yes, isn’t that because Dr. Bai is here?"

Not far after the car started, Yan Xu asked Uncle Wen to stop.

Uncle Wen and Bai Lu didn’t understand what he was up to, their first thought was that he wasn’t feeling well.

"I’m fine!"

Yan Xu said to both, who were looking at him, and pointed at Bai Lu, "Dr. Bai just got up, right? We haven’t had lunch either. Uncle Wen, go buy some buns and soymilk."

After Uncle Wen got out of the car, Bai Lu smiled at Yan Xu, "Who would’ve thought? Young Master Yan is quite caring."

Yan Xu was nonchalant, "Xiao Lu, that girl, was really naughty as a child, and she was excessively clingy to me."

Bai Lu pursed her lips, "Actually, it’s not because of Xiao Lu. Even before she was born, you were pretty good at taking care of others..."

Indeed, he just never admitted it verbally.

Yan Xu was stunned for a moment, slightly embarrassed.

Before, he didn’t care at all that he remembered everything except for Bai Lu.

After all, it was just a memory from when he was five or six years old – child’s play like ant-watching or sandcastle-building wasn’t something worth fussing over.

But after spending more time with Bai Lu, he began to feel as if he had become a heartless scoundrel, guilty of failing to reciprocate someone’s kindness.

When she brought up the past, he couldn’t stop feeling guilty.

He didn’t understand where this feeling came from. After all, amnesia wasn’t his choice, and besides, he’d only interacted with her for a few months when they were five or six years old, so it surely wasn’t enough to make a lifelong commitment, right?

Therefore, it was just a child’s innocent feelings. Forgetting meant forgetting; it was no big deal.

Logically, that’s what he told himself. But when he heard Bai Lu unintentionally bring up the past again, he couldn’t help but say, "I’m sorry..."

Bai Lu looked surprised, "Sorry for what?"

Yan Xu lifted his chin towards her, "Sorry, I forgot about you..."

Bai Lu paused for a moment, then laughed and patted his shoulder, "Are you silly? What’s there to be sorry about? It’s not like you chose to forget. Under uncontrollable circumstances, even a murderer wouldn’t get the death penalty, right?"

Yan Xu had not yet recovered those memories, but during the days he was accompanied by his parents, he heard quite a bit about the times he spent with Bai Lu as a child.

Later, when chatting with Ning Ling on WeChat, Ning Ling also mentioned Bai Lu more than once. Clearly, the name Bai Lu must have come up quite often before he lost that fragment of memory.

"Is there any way to help me recover my memory?"

All of a sudden, Yan Xu really wanted to know, before his amnesia, what place Bai Lu had held in his life.

Bai Lu was once again stunned, it was the first time he had expressed a desire to retrieve that period of memory.

"I’ve discussed this with Director Luo, and we both don’t see the necessity."

Yan Xu slightly raised his eyebrows, "No need?"

Bai Lu asked him, "Besides not remembering this, is there anything else you can’t recall?"

Yan Xu shook his head, "I don’t think so, other than you, I haven’t noticed any other memory gaps."

Bai Lu felt somewhat dejected but still nodded calmly, "So, Director Luo and I can’t even confirm whether this is amnesia or perhaps, it’s simply that as time passed, you’ve forgotten."

"Impossible!"

At first, when Yan Xu had no recollection of Bai Lu, and she claimed to be a childhood playmate, his first reaction was that she was a liar.

Because, he had always been very confident in his memory; not to mention at five or six years old, he still clearly remembered things from when he was three or four years old living abroad.

Therefore, forgetting a person and a whole segment of memories about that person was downright impossible.

Moreover, through the words of Ning Ling and his parents, Yan Xu could gather quite a bit of information about Bai Lu.

That indicated that before his injury, Bai Lu had very much existed in his memory.

So, he was certain that he hadn’t forgotten Bai Lu, but that he had lost the related memories due to the injury.

Bai Lu didn’t know why he suddenly cared about this, but as the forgotten party or as a doctor, she felt it unnecessary to expend energy and effort on these memories.

"Yan Xu, no matter the reason for the loss of this memory, Director Luo and I both think it’s best just to let things take their course. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll wake up, and they’ll all have come back."

Yan Xu was skeptical, "Can it really work like that?"

Bai Lu didn’t know if it could, but as a doctor, she had to give her patient hope and confidence.

"Of course, there are too many unexplainable miracles in medicine, and they happen every day."

Yan Xu didn’t know whether to believe it or not, but at that moment, Uncle Wen fortunately brought the snacks back, and the topic was dropped.

After having their fill, the two’s conversation drifted to other matters.

Bai Lu and Yan Xu went to the hospital room, where Bai Xiangdong was chatting with a patient roommate.

"Hey, buddy, when I’m discharged from the hospital, I’ll take some photos of the calligraphy and paintings at home for you to help me look at, huh."

Obviously, Bai Xiangdong had, thanks to his professional expertise, gained a young admirer.

Bai Lu stood at the doorway for a while, seeing that her grandfather looked well and spoke steadily and with strength, she wasn’t in a hurry and stood outside with Yan Xu, waiting for the two patients in the room to finish their chat before pretending to knock on the door and smilingly said to Bai Xiangdong, who looked up, "Master Bai, is class over? Can we be dismissed now?"

With a smile on his face, Bai Xiangdong propped himself up, ready to get out of bed, "There, that’s my granddaughter, isn’t she pretty?"

Clearly, during his short stay here, he had not only bragged about his professional knowledge but also his cherished granddaughter.
