Rose Manor

Pei Che had been silent for too long, and Shen Jia Nian could not help but be suspicious. She looked at him unblinkingly with her black and white eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this question... difficult to answer?"

"Xiao Nian..."

Pei Che hesitated before telling the truth.

He kept asking himself, should he really tell Xiao Nian the cruel truth?It is said that the Shen family no longer exists. Her father was betrayed by his best friend for many years. After the collapse of the company, he was so devastated that he suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized. He was not rescued.Her mother couldn't stand the excitement and went with her father.

She lost her parents overnight.

Pei Che couldn't say anything.

He still remembered the scene when he went to Yicheng to meet Xiaonian after returning to China. Her originally clear eyes were full of pain, struggle, and hatred. Even thinking about it to this day makes him extremely distressed.

If these truths come out, they will undoubtedly cause secondary harm to her and will not be conducive to her recovery.

Doctors have also said that maintaining a relaxed and happy mood is good for physical recovery. On the contrary, if your mind is heavy and depressed and you are in a state of being unable to relieve yourself for a long time, your body will also be affected.

This is why sometimes doctors and family members join forces to hide the true condition from patients.

Facing Shen Jia Nian's probing gaze, Pei Che couldn't come up with a perfect reason to deal with it in a short time, so he could only change the subject abruptly: "Xiao Nian, are you sleepy after being awake for so long?"

Shen Jia Nian was not stupid. Of course she could see that Pei Che was secretive and careless about him. She said stubbornly: "I'm not sleepy yet."

Seeing that he still refused to speak, she had to change her request: "Can you... call my parents? I want to hear their voices."

"Xiao Nian, don't worry..." Pei Che was not good at lying. Hearing what she said, he immediately panicked, "Some things are not clear in just a few words. When you recover, I will explain it to you in detail, okay? I I promise."

Again.

Shen Jia Nian's eyes were half-closed, and his mood was waning.She had just asked him why she was in a car accident, and he had given a similar answer. He had to wait until she was well before talking about anything.

He refused to agree to even a small request like asking him to call her parents.

Pei Che saw that she seemed angry and stood up helplessly: "Don't be sulky, it's not good for your health. I'll tell you whatever you want to know in the future. The most important thing now is to take good care of your health."

Shen Jia Nian, who kept saying "body" for three words, also realized how weak he looked, so he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Pei Che either left or stayed, and sighed.

Shen Jia Nian felt uncomfortable when his ears caught the restrained sigh. He opened his eyelids and looked at the thin-faced Pei Che beside the hospital bed. She could read the depressed emotion on his face.

"Let me ask one more question." Shen Jianian said.

Pei Che made eye contact with her, thought about it for a while, and didn't say yes or no.

Shen Jianian asked: "How come you are in China and don't have to study?"

Pei Che was startled at first, but soon realized that she had forgotten the grudge between the Shen family and the Pei family, so naturally she could not remember what happened next.

He returned home earlier than expected. Ultimately, it was because of her, but he couldn't say that right now.

"I earned enough credits in advance and successfully completed my studies, so I came back." Pei Che joked with her, trying to make her happy, "Aren't you happy to see me?"

Shen Jia Nian shook his head subconsciously, his head suddenly hurt, and his face wrinkled into a ball.

"Did you touch a wound?" Pei Che nervously held her face, tilted his head to check her head, and frowned, "Did I tell you not to move casually?"

Tears welled up in Shen Jianian's eyes, not because of the pain of the wound. She felt like a patched-up rag doll, with no part of her body in good condition.Even if you recover in the future, you will still be full of scars. "Why are you crying? I'm sorry, I said it too harshly." As soon as Pei Che saw her crying, his heart contracted and hurt. He didn't know what to do at all. He had been like this since he was a child. He folded a piece of With a tissue, he wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes little by little, and said in a tone like coaxing a child, "You have suffered a serious head injury and have had surgery. It will definitely hurt when you touch it. I don't let you move around because I'm afraid." It hurts, I’m not yelling at you.”

Shen Jianian said: "How long do I have to lie down before I can move freely?"

Pei Che's hand holding the tissue paused, unable to give her an accurate answer.

No matter how optimistic he is, he will be tortured by physical pain day after day and lose his fighting spirit. What's more, Shen Jia Nian is not strong to begin with, and he is even more fragile when lying on the hospital bed unable to move.

No one knew how scared she would feel every time she woke up, facing herself like this. She would rather sleep a little longer, at least without having to think about it.

"I'm tired and want to sleep." Shen Jia Nian didn't want to ask anything anymore and closed his eyes.

Pei Che tucked her in, stood quietly for a while, and then left the ward with gentle steps.

He happened to meet the nurse who had returned outside the door. He told the nurse to take good care of Shen Jianian and call him or ring the bell for the nurse if anything happened. He would come back later.

Hearing a soft closing sound, Shen Jianian opened his eyes and saw a white ceiling.

Most of the side windows are sealed to prevent the patient from thinking about committing suicide, but it does not prevent the sunlight from sneaking in.A bright light fell on the end of the bed, where her feet happened to be, and she could feel a warmth through the quilt.

Shen Jia Nian knew that she had forgotten some things. For example, she searched every inch of memory in her mind and could not remember the cause of the car accident.

She was very curious, so she asked Pei Che.

Maybe the car accident that caused her serious injury was too tragic. Pei Che didn't want her to feel sad, so he chose to hide it from her for the time being and wait until she could bear a certain degree of injury before telling her.

Pei Che was doing it for her own good, she understood.

However, everyone has a desire to spy, and the more he hides it from her, the more she wants to know.

She noticed the name of this hospital, Jiangcheng First Hospital, written on the hospital gown.She was clearly in Beicheng, so why did she come to the hospital in Jiangcheng for treatment?

There seems to be only one answer. She had a car accident in Jiangcheng. She was in critical condition at the time and had to have surgery here. The recovery after the surgery was slow and it was not suitable to move, so she could only stay here.

She doesn’t know anyone in Jiangcheng, so why not come here for a trip?
Besides herself, is there anyone else?
Why didn't her parents come to see her?
Just now she asked Ah Che to call her parents, and his reaction was very strange. She could not misread the panic in his eyes at that moment. Could it be that... her parents had met with something unexpected?
When he thought too much, his mind became tight and there was a faint tendency of pain. Shen Jia Nian had no choice but to clear his mind of all the clues that were trying to connect together.

In the garden downstairs of the inpatient department, Pei Che sat on a public bench with his legs spread, his hands intertwined, his elbows resting on his knees, his forehead resting on his hands, looking thoughtful.

He now confirmed one thing, Xiao Nian had forgotten Fu Jichen.

It wasn't that she didn't mention it on purpose, it was just that this person didn't exist in her mind at all.

Her memory stayed before her parents' accident. Just as a neurosurgeon once said, after being traumatized, the brain started to protect itself and selectively deleted memories that would cause her pain.

For her, the source of pain was the death of her parents, so even the subsequent memories were blocked.

Pei Che raised his head, put his interlocked hands between his legs, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at the sky.

It's past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is still so strong. The summer in Jiangcheng is thunderous and known as a "stove". Sitting under the sun for a while will make you sweat.

Xiao Nian has too many blank memories, and the questions in her heart will increase as her physical condition improves. She will definitely not ask just this time. He will come up with a complete set of excuses before she asks him next time.We can no longer use the excuse that her body has not recovered as she did just now.

He might tell her a big lie. (End of chapter)
