“Can I go and see him?” I asked carefully.
Lin Ran’s eyes lit up. “Sure! Are you willing to do that?”
I nodded. “I’m willing.”
Lin Ran rubbed his hands excitedly. “That’s great! Jing Tian won’t allow me to request for you to come along to see him, but this time I didn’t say anything. You were the one who made the request, right, Nanxing?”
Even though I found his reaction a little strange, I still nodded in agreement. “Yes.” Then, it hit me. “He doesn’t want me to see him?”
“No, it’s not that!” Lin Ran quickly waved his hand. “Of course, he wants to see you, but… things are complicated between the two of you… You have to be the one who takes the initiative for the meeting to happen.” Lin Ran said vaguely.
“Why?” I asked him, puzzled. “Why must I take the initiative?”
Lin Ran scratched his head. “I don’t know the specifics. Anyway, Jing Tian can’t see you if you’re not willing.”
I tilted my head and thought for a while, but I couldn’t figure out why. This Jing Tian was a little pretentious! In contrast, Gu Nian came to find me on his own accord.
With that in mind, I asked Lin Ran, “Doctor Lin, do you know Gu Nian?”
Lin Ran was obviously stunned for a moment. His smile disappeared, and he nodded. “We’re acquaintances.”
“What about Jing Tian and him?”
“Those two? They are quite close… Nanxing, has Gu Nian come to look for you?” Lin Ran asked after a moment of hesitation.
I nodded honestly. “He came to visit me at home. He was very happy to see me. He said that he had once taken a knife for me, so he probably saved my life. However, I don’t remember anything. Did you know about this?”
I felt that Lin Ran was one of the people that I could trust now. I was still cautious about his words, but I had a feeling he had a good character. I trusted him.
Lin Ran looked at me and shook his head. “Nanxing, this matter is a little complicated. It’s not something that can be explained in a few sentences. Why don’t you ask Mai Qi and Jing Ni?”
Mai Qi?
Jing Ni?
My head suddenly hurt. I touched my forehead and inhaled. It felt like an electric current passing through me.
“Nanxing?” Lin Ran noticed that something was wrong with me.
That feeling disappeared, and I was stunned for a moment.
“Who are Mai Qi and Jing Ni?” I asked Lin Ran.
Lin Ran looked at me with a sorrowful gaze, but he finally smiled. However, his smile was a little bitter. “Nanxing, Mai Qi and Jing Ni are your best friends. They will be willing to give up their lives for you!”
“Then, where are they now?” I asked in a daze.
My heart felt a little sour. I really couldn’t remember these people.
Lin Ran sighed. “Nanxing, they can’t wait to rush here immediately… But we don’t think you can withstand too much emotional fluctuation. We don’t even know what the situation of your amnesia is. We don’t dare to stimulate you too much. Even Jing Tian is humbly waiting for you. He will only see you if you’re willing. Do you understand?”
I believe I did.
I nodded. “So, it’ll be fine if I go see him?”
Lin Ran nodded. “I think so. At least it’s safer than him suddenly appearing in front of you and dropping a lot of info on you.”
I thought of Gu Nian.
Some people would always be concerned about you. They’d rather hurt themselves than hurt you.
Some people won’t..
