Sure enough, Lin Hang came early the next morning, but the scene was a bit different from the two-person world he had initially envisioned, because Ye Tiao had also arrived at the Shi Mansion early that morning.
Upon seeing Lin Hang, Ye Tiao’s smile was exceptionally radiant. After waving at him, she straightforwardly stated her purpose for coming.
But no matter what Ye Tiao said, once it reached Lin Hang’s ears, it naturally turned into three words—"third wheel."
Lin Hang thought to himself with a chuckle.
After all, he hadn’t planned to do anything particular with Shi Mei today; he just wanted to visit an old teacher.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the diagnosis indeed matched what Aunt Chen had said the day before.
But in the end, Doctor Yun added, "You might want to take her to see things from her past; maybe she could remember something, or perhaps you could take her to places she once dreamed of visiting but never did. There could be different gains."
Lin Hang nodded and muttered to himself, "She did want to go to the United States before."
However, that was because he had been studying in the United States at the time.
Unbeknownst to him, upon hearing this murmur, Shi Mei’s eyes lit up.
She glanced at Ye Tiao, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous brilliance.
Ye Tiao, feeling watched, shivered and rubbed her goosebumps, visibly frightened.
Seeing that look, it was clear she was up to no good.
Sure enough, at Shi Mei’s request, Ye Tiao adamantly declined Lin Hang’s dinner invitation and quickly left with Shi Mei.
Shi Mei, pulling Ye Tiao along, said, "He’s right, ’Behind the Scenes Star’ has already reached the third stage, and there isn’t much time left. But isn’t this trip about ’Wilderness Survival’? We’ll be out for over a month, so let’s take Shi Mei out of the country."
Ye Tiao widened her eyes, "Are you fucking serious with your ’Clone Technique’? You want to go abroad and also participate in the show. Do you think you’re the Monkey King, able to pull out some of your hair and spawn a heap of followers?"
"Don’t be stupid. I already said let Shi Mei go. We’ve bought the tickets; we don’t actually have to board the plane. As long as we don’t check in, all will be well. You go ask Lin Hang for some tourist spots or those skilled neurologists. Let’s make the act complete; just make them believe we left the country."
Ye Tiao couldn’t help but give Shi Mei a thumbs up, "Bravo, so shall we tell them now?"
"Not in a hurry. If we say it today, it would seem too deliberate and sudden. We should give them a buffer period to make this seem more natural."
Everything subsequent went smoothly.
Ye Tiao and Shi Mei met up with Lin Hang for three consecutive days. Lin Hang wanted to send Ye Tiao away to build a rapport with Shi Mei alone, but Ye Tiao kept a tight watch. Lin Hang couldn’t even find much time to talk to Shi Mei alone.
Because of this, Lin Hang was obviously very displeased with Ye Tiao.
But he was helpless. Under the guise of being her good friend, Lin Hang couldn’t do much.
Finally, when Ye Tiao and Shi Lingyan proposed taking Shi Mei abroad, Shi Lingyan was just momentarily surprised and asked, "Why?"
"Shi Mei is cooped up at home every day, which really isn’t helping her cognitive recovery. Lin Hang used to be quite close to her back then, so I had him recommend some reliable neurologists and also asked for some travel tips, planning to take Shi Mei out for a spin."
