Chapter 8: Jiang He’s Past!
Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii
“What… what did you call me?”
The girl was initially stunned, then a blush flew to her fair cheeks as she gritted her teeth and said, “Those three lunatics weren’t wrong, it was all orchestrated by you!”
Ah, what!
Jiang He was flabbergasted.
He quickly waved his hands, saying, “Yun Yanchen, listen to my explanation.”
It was Jiang He’s first time meeting Yun Yanchen.
Yet, he recognized her at first sight, perhaps due to some obsession in this body… And that “wife” slip was exactly because of that.
Yun Yanchen huffed, “Fine, I’ll give you the chance to explain.”
“……”
Jiang He: “Never mind, better not to explain.”
How could he explain?
Say it was the “obsession” of the lunatic influencing him?
However, he did notice… this Yun Yanchen seemed to know “himself,” so he immediately asked, “Yun Yanchen, do we know each other?”
“What?”
Yun Yanchen said, “You really lost your memory?”
Obviously.
She had inquired about Jiang He’s situation in the “psychiatric hospital” before coming to see him.
“If you’ve really lost your memory, why do you still recognize me?”
“I don’t know.”
Jiang He shook his head, saying, “After seeing you, I felt your image flooding my mind, and then your name came to me… But I don’t remember anything else from the past.”
“Really?”
For a moment, a light seemed to flash in Yun Yanchen’s beautiful eyes, and she joyfully said, “At least you have some conscience left, not forgetting me.”
This young lady, indeed, knew “himself”!
Jiang He grabbed Yun Yanchen’s hand, asking, “Yanchen, can you tell me about my past?”
He deliberately appeared very eager.
Inwardly, he marveled…
Such soft hands, like they’re made of water!
Yun Yanchen was a bit flustered, quickly withdrew her hand, and looking down, not daring to look more at Jiang He, she said, “Here? How about we find a place to sit down and talk?”
Jiang He glanced at his phone.
There were less than 40 minutes until lunchtime.
This was the perfect time to look for a restaurant.
He thought for a moment, saying, “I don’t mind… but we need our dean’s approval for this.”
“I’ll talk to your dean.”
Yun Yanchen got out of the car.
Jiang He followed her out.
In front of Dean An, Yun Yanchen explained the reason.
“Oh?”
Dean An was puzzled, asking, “This kid arranges for people to kidnap you, and you still invite him for a meal? Do you know he’s sick?”
Jiang He’s face darkened, cursing, “Dean, we should speak with evidence. The kidnapping of Yun Yanchen was Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi acting on their own, and I’ve said many times, I’m not sick!”
Yun Yanchen chuckled.
Teasingly she said, “Don’t worry, Dean, I guarantee I won’t let the patient run wild and harm others, I’ll definitely return him on time.”
Given the face of Miss Yun’s family, Dean An naturally had to agree.
Besides, Jiang He was diagnosed with “severe fantasy syndrome” and had no aggression… and from the observation over the past few days, it seemed his condition stabilized a lot after “losing his memory.”
Dean An turned around, hands behind his back, leisurely heading back to the hospital.
Jiang He quickly followed, saying, “Wait… Dean An, I haven’t taken my noon medication yet!”
Dean An: “It’s fine, go to the nurse after your date.”
“How can that be?”
Jiang He earnestly said, “Medication must be taken strictly according to the prescribed schedule, otherwise, how can it be effective? And now that I’m going out, what if I have an episode because I didn’t take my medication on time?”
【Not taking medication on time】=【Not reasonable】
If it’s not reasonable, how can strength increase?
Dean An fell silent.
Jiang He’s condition stabilized a lot?
Bullshit!
This bastard’s condition has worsened, hasn’t it?
As the dean of a psychiatric hospital with over 20 years in the field, having seen all kinds of patients, Dean An knew the most important thing when dealing with psychiatric patients was to “go along” with them.
So, he said, “Alright, go to the nurse’s station to get your medication.”
“I won’t go.”
Jiang He said, “I run slow, let that round and rolling security guard go, he runs fast!”
He clearly remembered that the security guard was very agile, leaping five to six meters in a bound.
“Alright, alright, let him go.”
Jiang He: “Hurry up, run!”
The security guard: “********!”
Indeed, he was fast.
In less than five minutes.
The medication was brought back.
Four capsules, two small white pills.
Jiang He went to the security room, took a piece of tissue to wrap the medication, placed it in the pocket of his psychiatric patient gown, and then took out a bottle of “Rehmannia Pills” from another pocket, swallowing three pills.
Following the prescription for taking Rehmannia Glutinosa Pills eight times a day…
It was just the right time!
“Ding!”
“Taking medication reasonably, strength +10kg.”
“Wait!”
Dean An, with sharp eyes, grabbed Jiang He’s hand and asked, “What medication is this?”
“Rehmannia Glutinosa Pills, nourishes yin and strengthens the kidneys… Dean, would you like some?”
“Um…”
After inspection,
Seeing it indeed was “Rehmannia Glutinosa Pills,” Dean An let go, advising, “After going out, don’t cause trouble, remember to come back on time… Also, as a bachelor, you should consume less of this kind of medication!”
Exiting the hospital gate,
Jiang He got into the car.
Yun Yanchen asked, “What would you like to eat?”
Jiang He thought for a bit and said, “How about spicy hot pot… Eating hot pot is also fine. The hospital only serves rice or noodles, I’m almost sick of them.”
Yun Yanchen laughed, saying, “You seem to be recovering well. When do you plan to leave the hospital?”
Jiang He joked, “I’ll stay a bit longer. The environment in the hospital is quite good, and all the patients are talented and speak nicely. I’m not ready to leave just yet.”
Soon,
The car stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant.
Getting out of the car,
Yun Yanchen pointed to a high-end residential area next to the hot pot restaurant and said, “Jiang He, do you remember this place?”
Jiang He shook his head, asking, “What is this place?”
Yun Yanchen sighed and said, “Your home is in this residential area… Exiting the back gate of the residential area and crossing a street is Wu City No. 3 Middle School, where we went to high school.”
“We were high school classmates?”
“You really forgot everything? We were not only classmates but also desk mates… I sat in front of you. You were very naughty back then, often pulling my ponytail.”
At the dining table,
Yun Yanchen barely touched her chopsticks.
She kept talking about Jiang He’s “past.”
She was very familiar with Jiang He, and their relationship seemed to be more than just classmates.
“Your dad is Jiang Hai, a martial arts master with superb swordsmanship, and your mom is an earth-element awakener… 18 years ago, during the beast tide outbreak, your uncle and aunt died defending Wu City.”
“In high school, you were the heartthrob of our school, handsome, with solid martial arts foundations and good academic grades. In the first semester of senior year, you passed the martial arts bureau’s assessment and completed the warrior’s real combat assessment during the winter break, successfully awakening your earth-element ability…”
“You were hailed as the most outstanding genius of No. 3 Middle School in nearly ten years… Unfortunately, you were ambushed by a cult.”
Jiang He: “……”
He swirled a piece of tripe, put down his chopsticks, and after a long silence, said, “You said I became a warrior in high school… I saw on the internet that after officially passing the martial arts bureau’s warrior assessment, one receives a monthly allowance… Where is my allowance?”
“It can’t be canceled just because I was injured fighting against cult warriors, right?”
Yun Yanchen speculated, “This money probably went directly to Anning Psychiatric Hospital, after all, your monthly treatment and meal expenses also need to be covered.”
Damn it!
Jiang He cursed inwardly!
The psychiatric hospital dared to swallow my allowance?
After finishing the hot pot,
“Ding!”
“Eating reasonably, strength +10kg.”
Yun Yanchen stood up and said, “Have you finished eating? Let’s go to your place and see, maybe it will help you regain your lost memories.”
“Just a moment.”
Jiang He called the waiter over and asked for a glass of water: “Let me take some medicine first.”
“Ding!”
“Taking medication reasonably, strength +10kg.”
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Jiang He suggested, “Yanchen, let’s run there… Our doctor said that after meals, it’s good to exercise reasonably, it helps with digestion and prevents gaining weight.”
“Ah…”
Yun Yanchen glanced at the bustling streets, intending to refuse, but after thinking it over, she eventually agreed, “Okay, just wait a moment for me.”
She ran to a nearby supermarket, and when she came back, she was wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a baseball cap, saying, “Maybe you should take off your patient gown.”
“Otherwise, running on the street with a psychiatric patient, I would feel a bit awkward.”
“……”
Jiang He was puzzled, saying, “So you running on the street with a streaking psychiatric patient doesn’t make you feel awkward?”
He adjusted his patient gown, leaning towards Yun Yanchen, and said, “Look, I’m not wearing anything underneath.”
