Chapter 772: [(772)] Hippocampus Chapter 772: [(772)] Hippocampus Study hard; not everyone has the opportunity to do so. Just like her, she lost it at this age.

“Mm-hm,” Ma Yunli nodded.

“Get some sleep,” Wu Lixuan’s fingers combed through her hair, “Don’t be afraid, we have doctors and nurses here, you’ll be fine.”

Lin Hao and Li Qi’an watched from the side, normally not noticing that their classmate who sold tea and Student Xie were just as gentle and approachable.

Yin Fengchun’s gaze fell on the face opposite her, growing increasingly deep.

Seeing this scene as she stood at the door, Xie Wanying turned back, itching to scratch her head.

After hesitating a few steps, Senior Cao stood in front of her, observing her the whole time, having long noticed that something was off with her today.

“Senior Brother–” Xie Wanying was slightly uneasy, not sure what to say.

Surely, something must have happened to his junior sister, as Cao Yong nodded at her and suggested, “Do you need to go outside to calm down for a bit?”

The suggestion by Senior Brother was good; she needed to organize her thoughts. Xie Wanying quickly walked outside.

Cao Yong carried his bag and followed behind her.

The two of them walked to the corridor outside the ward and sat down on the benches available.

Xie Wanying was somewhat lost; she had never been in love, had zero experience in it, and the medical knowledge she learned seemed powerless in this matter. It might be better to ask Senior Brother.

Receiving the glance she threw his way, Cao Yong had been waiting, encouraging her, “Go ahead.”

“Senior Cao, if the person you liked was gone and someone very similar came along, what do you think you should do?” Xie Wanying asked, afraid that she might have done something unfavorable to her childhood friend.

After hearing her out, Cao Yong thought to himself that indeed his junior sister was lacking a romantic circuit in her brain. Because the way she was looking at him was not for advice from a romance expert but a medical expert.

What could he do, though he wasn’t a romance expert either.

“Do you want me to answer that question from a medical perspective?” Cao Yong asked, just to confirm her intentions.

Xie Wanying nodded; any problem should be dealt with scientifically.

His junior sister’s thinking was correct. Love was an emotional issue, but dealing with it required a touch of scientific cool-headedness.

Cao Yong considered carefully and said, “If a person’s brain is normal and they don’t have prosopagnosia, it is impossible to mix up two people, even if they look very similar. So your concern shouldn’t be about her mistaking the person, but rather that someone similar could trigger a certain memory deep in the brain. You’re afraid that this memory might be replayed in reality.”

That made sense. Xie Wanying thought it over, remembering related knowledge, “Senior, please continue explaining the medical principle behind this.”

Discussing medical principles again, Cao Yong couldn’t help but smile, and then noticing the worry in her eyes, he extended his hand to hold hers resting on her knee, comforting her by saying, “Memory functions are located in the hippocampus. Sometimes we can’t remember words no matter how hard we try, and other times we remember without much effort. It all depends on whether we are focused or not. Only with concentrated attention can we reach a strong direct stimulus threshold. Similarly, emotions are etched into us because at that time our entire mental focus was on the emotions.”

“So, the emotions are firmly remembered, and they can’t be forgotten?”

“Memories can be overwritten. Just like if you remember a word incorrectly, as long as you try harder to remember it correctly. The more solidly you remember the correct one, the erroneous memory from the past will gradually fade away. What you’re afraid of is that the new memory that overwrites it could be just as painful for her.”
