"What did you say? Zhu Zhengchu has gone crazy?"
In the group chat of three people, Ying Zikui was extremely agitated.
Xiang Yutang looked at Zhu Zhengchu on the hospital bed and typed helplessly, "It's not that he's gone crazy. He just forgot all the things in the past. How should I put it? Anyway, he's forgotten that we've broken up. He still thinks we're still together. I'll take him away from here and go back to the city for treatment starting tomorrow."
Zhuo Ziyu didn't respond, but Ying Zikui kept typing one message after another.
"Tangtang, you must have been deceived!"
"How could it be such a coincidence that he just hit his head and only forgot that period of memory?"
"He must be trying to trick you. He needs to go to a big hospital, right? Then you come back and let me go. I'll take good care of him!"
"I can't believe Zhu Zhengchu would come up with such a cheesy trick!"
Xiang Yutang rubbed her temples, not knowing how to talk to Ying Zikui. It was not until Ying Zikui finished typing a long message that Zhuo Ziyu finally spoke up.
"Tangtang, are you softening your heart?"
Girls are always more sensitive. When Xiang Yutang was talking about these things, Zhuo Ziyu had a rough idea of what was going on.
Ying Zikui became even more agitated.
"What?! Tangtang, you're softening your heart? How could you soften your heart towards such a man, Tangtang?"
"Have you forgotten how he used to be?"
"A dog can't change its spots. No, I don't mean you're the 'spots'. But... anyway, that's the truth!"
Ying Zikui seemed to think that typing couldn't express his agitation, so he called her directly.
Xiang Yutang walked outside. "Hello? What's up?"
"What on earth is going on with you?" Ying Zikui's voice was extremely urgent.
Xiang Yutang lowered her voice. "Oh, I don't know either. Don't push me for now. Let me think it over carefully."
Ying Zikui said, "Oh, how could you do this? You!"
"Zikui, be good. I'm talking to Tangtang on the phone. Don't interrupt, okay? Be a good boy." Zhuo Ziyu took the phone from him and coaxed him.
Ying Zikui didn't say a word beside her. Zhuo Ziyu said gently, "Tangtang, do you really want to go back to the city with him? If you don't want to go, I can go on your behalf."
"I..." Xiang Yutang hesitated for a moment. "I think I'm very much responsible for this, so I'd better go myself."
"Do you really think it's just a matter of responsibility, and not that you're worried about him?" There was a hint of curiosity in Zhuo Ziyu's voice, as if she could read Xiang Yutang's mind.
Xiang Yutang felt a little flustered and said nervously, "Of course it's just a matter of responsibility."
Zhuo Ziyu said helplessly, "Okay, don't be nervous. If you do go, are you still going to film?"
"We'll talk about that later. Let's first see what's really going on with him."
"Okay, if you really want to go, then go. If there's any problem, just contact us at any time."
Ying Zikui couldn't help but speak up. "You really plan to let the two of them go alone? Then we won't film either. Let's go with them!"
Zhuo Ziyu pinched him, signaling him to stop talking so much.
"Zhu Zhengchu is a patient now. If you go with them, you might stimulate him. In the end, it'll still be Tangtang who has to take responsibility."
Xiang Yutang hadn't figured out what to say when she heard Zhu Zhengchu shouting from behind. Xiang Yutang said in a hurry, "I've got something to do. I won't talk to you anymore."
"Hey! Tangtang!"
Before Ying Zikui could finish speaking, Xiang Yutang hung up the phone.
Xiang Yutang walked into the ward. Zhu Zhengchu stopped shouting when he saw her, and a beautiful smile appeared on his face. "Where did you go just now?"
Xiang Yutang said unhappily, "It's none of your business."
Zhu Zhengchu tried hard to get closer to her. Xiang Yutang said, "Don't move around!"
Zhu Zhengchu said pitifully, "Why are you so mean to me since I woke up? You used to be so gentle with me."
Xiang Yutang snorted angrily. She hoped Zhu Zhengchu wasn't pretending. If he was, he'd surely end up dead at her hands.
Although Xiang Yutang had always been cold towards him, Zhu Zhengchu always stuck to her like glue. Xiang Yutang waited helplessly until Zhu Zhengchu's parents came. The couple seemed to be still in a cold war. Xiang Yutang felt a little uncomfortable. How could such a good couple end up like this?
"Uncle and Aunt, are you still angry? Don't be angry. Everything's fine now."
Zhu Zhengchu looked at them curiously. "Mom and Dad, what's wrong with you? Did you quarrel? Don't quarrel casually. You should be like me and Tangtang."
Xiang Yutang rolled her eyes, thinking who was on good terms with him.
Zheng Wanyin asked with concern, "Tangtang, did you stay here and watch over him all night? Do you want to go and take a nap first? We'll set off after you wake up."
Zhu Zhengchu patted his bed. "Tangtang didn't want to sleep in my bed last night. Maybe she was afraid of kicking my wound. Now you can sleep here with me. I'm awake. I'm not afraid of being kicked by you!"
Zheng Wanyin was considerate. "The bed in this ward is a bit small. Do you want Auntie to take you to change to another room?"
Xiang Yutang smiled. "No, thanks. I took a nap just now. If it's convenient, we can set off now."
Zhu Yuan didn't say a word. He stared at Zhu Zhengchu all the time, as if scolding his useless son.
Zhu Zhengchu just pretended not to see it.
Zheng Wanyin glanced at her husband and snorted.
Zhu Zhengchu's leg was injured, so it was a big problem for him to go out. Everyone was afraid of hurting him, and it took them a great deal of effort to carry him downstairs. But with a fracture, pain was inevitable. Zhu Zhengchu grimaced in pain. Zheng Wanyin felt a little heart - broken.
Zhu Yuan snorted. "You cry like that for just a bit of pain. You're really embarrassing your father!" Back when he was in the underworld, he'd been stabbed several times and never cried out.
Zhu Zhengchu ignored his father's taunts. He looked at Xiang Yutang pitifully and reached out his hand to hold hers. "Hold hands, and the pain will go away."
Xiang Yutang originally wanted to shake off his hand, but with his parents watching, she could only keep silent and hold his hand.
The journey was a bit bumpy. The doctor was afraid that Zhu Zhengchu would be in too much pain, so he gave him a little anesthesia. Zhu Zhengchu slowly fell asleep, still tightly holding Xiang Yutang's hand with his other hand.
Zhu Yuan said coldly, "You've spoiled this brat. He can't even bear a bit of pain? Yutang, don't mind him. Just throw him out of the car."
Zheng Wanyin was also unhappy. "What on earth do you mean? Isn't Zhengchu your own son? Why are you treating him like this? If you throw him out, then throw me out too!"
