Song Ge watched as Qu Cheng and the doctor entered the study. After a moment's thought, she followed them. Standing at the door, she found it tightly shut, unable to hear a thing.
She pressed her ear against the door, yet still nothing came through.
Aunt Chen brought tea to the study. Seeing Song Ge eavesdropping at the door, she smiled but said nothing.
However, being caught red - handed made Song Ge feel uncomfortable. She awkwardly scratched her hair and then ran back to her room.
Aunt Chen let out a soft laugh. After delivering the tea, she came out.
"Doctor, how is her recovery?"
"Miss Song's physical recovery is going well. However, it seems that she is under quite a lot of mental stress, which is not conducive to her recalling past events."
Qu Cheng nodded, indicating that he understood. But he couldn't figure out what was causing Song Ge such stress.
"Thank you, doctor." Qu Cheng stood up and escorted the doctor out.
Qu Cheng thought that since they couldn't force Song Ge to remember, they might as well just let things take their natural course.
When Song Ge saw someone coming out, she immediately ran away. After the person left, just as she was about to return to her room, a voice rang out.
"Did you hear everything?"
Song Ge's body froze. She turned around with a beaming smile. "I didn't hear anything."
Qu Cheng just smiled and walked towards Song Ge step by step.
For some reason, Song Ge felt her heart rate accelerating. She couldn't take her eyes off the man approaching her.
"Do you think I'm good - looking?"
Song Ge nodded instinctively. He was really good - looking.
The next second, she came to her senses and felt rather embarrassed. She had actually been acting like a lovesick girl!
Seeing Song Ge like this, Qu Cheng felt somewhat relieved. At least she still lusted after his good looks.
"Do you want to know something about the past?"
Song Ge nodded like a pecking chick. Of course she did. But she also knew that recalling the past would surely bring pain.
"Then we'll leave for the Aegean Sea tomorrow."
Song Ge was confused. "What are we going there for?" After a pause, she asked again, "Have we been there before?"
Qu Cheng nodded. His eyes grew deep as he took a step closer to her, so close that he could feel her breath.
Song Ge took a step back, looking flustered and stammering, "I, I'll go pack my things first." Then she scurried back to her room.
Leaning against the wall, her heart was pounding, and her face was burning hot. She patted her face. After calming down, she started to pack her things.
Qu Cheng returned to his room. The photo of the two of them was still on the bedside table. He sighed and lay down on the bed.
He was naturally reluctant to use painful methods to make her remember. In fact, he didn't really care whether she could recall the past. The important thing was that she loved him.
The next day, Song Ge got up early in the morning and waited for Qu Cheng in the living room. After they had breakfast, they set off.
Qu Cheng was driving. Song Ge occasionally looked out of the window and took a nap from time to time. Eventually, she felt rather bored and couldn't help asking, "How much longer until we get there?"
Qu Cheng gave her a gentle smile. "It's about an hour away. Are you bored?"
Song Ge nodded.
Qu Cheng held the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other, he took out a magazine from somewhere and handed it to Song Ge. It seemed that he had prepared for this.
Song Ge flipped through it a couple of times and found it quite interesting. She read it all the way.
By the time she finished reading, they were almost there.
They arrived at their destination around one or two in the afternoon. Song Ge was extremely sleepy.
Qu Cheng took Song Ge to the hotel he had checked out before, but he hadn't booked a room in advance.
He took out his ID and handed it to the receptionist. "Two rooms, please."
The receptionist glanced at the computer and said apologetically, "Sorry, sir. There's only one luxury room left."
Song Ge, who had been drowsy, instantly woke up when she heard that there was only one room left.
Qu Cheng looked at Song Ge with a bit of a dilemma. "Maybe we should go somewhere else and have a look."
The receptionist kindly reminded them, "All the rooms in the vicinity are fully booked. This room became available because a guest checked out temporarily."
Song Ge sighed. "Let's just take this one." She could actually understand, after all, it was a scenic area, and accommodation was always in short supply.
Qu Cheng paid the money, got the key card, and they took the elevator upstairs.
When they entered the room, there was only a big bed.
Song Ge was worried. With only one bed, how were they going to sleep?
Qu Cheng seemed to notice Song Ge's distress and voluntarily offered, "I can sleep on the floor."
Hearing this, Song Ge still felt a bit bad, but they couldn't sleep together, so she didn't say anything.
After a simple rest and tidying up, they went out.
Fortunately, the hotel was quite close to the Aegean Sea. They walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the seaside.
Night was about to fall, and there were many people playing on the beach.
Song Ge was extremely excited when she saw the sea. She ran into the water and played freely.
Seeing her so happy, Qu Cheng knew they had come to the right place. He also joined Song Ge and started playing.
After nine o'clock at night, there were fewer and fewer people on the beach. Song Ge and Qu Cheng's clothes were all wet, so they decided to go back to the hotel to change clothes first and then come out for dinner.
After they changed their clothes in the hotel, they found that there were also many delicious dishes in the hotel, so they decided to have dinner there.
While Qu Cheng was in the restroom, someone came to strike up a conversation with Song Ge.
"Beauty, are you alone?"
Song Ge didn't say a word. She just wondered when Qu Cheng would come back.
Seeing that Song Ge didn't respond, the man sneered disdainfully. "Why are you pretending to be so aloof?"
When Qu Cheng came back and saw this situation, he coughed twice and gave the man a look. The man left sensibly.
Seeing Qu Cheng come back, Song Ge felt much more at ease.
After dinner, they returned to the room to wash up. Song Ge lay on the bed, feeling extremely nervous.
Qu Cheng finished washing up, took the extra quilt, made a bed on the floor, and then went to sleep.
In the darkness, Song Ge couldn't fall asleep until dawn when she gradually dozed off.
The next day, Qu Cheng thought he should take Song Ge to the villa they used to live in. Maybe Song Ge would remember something.
When the car stopped steadily outside the villa, Qu Cheng's eyes were moist. Scenes from the past flashed before his eyes.
Song Ge looked at the villa in front of her but didn't remember anything. However, she really liked the decoration here.
"Did we used to live here?"
Qu Cheng wiped away his tears and nodded.
Song Ge walked in front and pushed open the door. The scenes inside came into view. Suddenly, some scenes flashed through her mind, but they were just fragments, and in the end, she remembered nothing.
She walked into the villa's yard and was inexplicably attracted to a few flowers in the corner. She squatted down, looked at them for a while, then stood up and walked towards the villa's door.
