Huo Tingxiao suddenly felt the small hand he was holding twitch slightly, he looked up at Mu Lan.
“Lanlan?”
Mu Lan on the bed moved slightly, then, she couldn’t help but moan softly.
“Hiss…”
Headache!
She slowly opened her eyes, looking somewhat bewildered at the utterly unfamiliar surroundings, Mu Lan’s mind went blank for a moment.
The stark white ceiling, the faint scent of disinfectant in the air, some fragmented images rushed into her mind. When her gaze fell on the man in front of her, Mu Lan instinctively became defensive.
“You’re awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Does your head hurt? I’d better call the doctor over first.”
Mu Lan stared at him, frowned slightly, and her gaze fell on her hand that was being held by the other party. A shadow of shock flashed in her eyes, and regaining her senses, she withdrew her hand coldly and distantly.
“I’m alright, did the hospital notify you to come?”
Huo Tingxiao had not yet noticed Mu Lan’s odd behavior.
“Yun Xi told me that you had a car accident on your way here, so I rushed over.”
“Yun Xi?”
Mu Lan looked up, her expression indifferent.
“Who is that?”
Huo Tingxiao was stunned, disbelieving as he looked at Mu Lan.
“Lanlan…”
Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao with a strange expression.
“Huo Tingxiao, what did you call me? You’re acting very odd.”
Her tone of speech was just as matter-of-fact, utterly flat.
A pain that Huo Tingxiao couldn’t control suddenly blossomed at the bottom of his heart, spreading to his limbs and bones.
He struggled to steady his mind and asked:
“Do you know what month… what date it is today?”
Mu Lan knitted her eyebrows.
“What kind of game are you playing? After not speaking for over two months, you’re asking me this kind of question?
May 19th, Sunday, are you satisfied?”
Huo Tingxiao felt like he was going to go insane, he tried hard to control all of his emotions and find his calm.
“I’ll go call the doctor.”
Mu Lan watched as Huo Tingxiao hurriedly ran out of the ward, very calmly pressed the call bell by the bed, and then stretched her hand to rub her somewhat sore temples. She felt as if she had slept for a very long time, and was groggy and uncomfortable.
Suddenly, she remembered the phone call before the car accident, and her eyes involuntarily darkened.
As Huo Tingxiao stepped out of the ward, Pei Zhao saw his expression and couldn’t help but smirk.
“It seems like a nice surprise, did she remember?”
Huo Tingxiao had no time to banter with Pei Zhao, just as he was about to step away, the attending doctor had already run over, panting.
“Mr. Huo, was it you who pressed the call bell?”
Huo Tingxiao pursed his lips, a mess from concern, how silly he was to have forgotten that he could press the bell.
“She’s awake, but… something seems off.”
The doctor felt like crying but had no tears, what was wrong now?
Last time things were off, the hospital was turned upside down, now things were off again, was the hospital going to get demolished? But the doctor only dared to grumble to himself in secret.
“Mr. Huo, don’t panic, let me take a look first.”
Entering the ward, Mu Lan was already sitting up, leaning against the pillow, still looking like a normal person.
“Well, Mrs. Huo, we just need to do some basic checks. Can you tell me, how many fingers am I holding up?”
Saying so, the doctor held up two fingers in front of Mu Lan and wiggled them. Mu Lan frowned, feeling as though her intelligence had been insulted, but still cooperated:
“2”
“And this?”

Saying so, the doctor held up another finger.
“1”
“What’s your name?”
“Mu Lan?”
“And him?”
“Huo Tingxiao.”
Alas, isn’t this normal? The doctor thought Huo Tingxiao was just being overly concerned.
But when he asked the next question…
“Do you remember what happened before?”
“I remember, I got into a car accident on my way to the Empire Building after leaving the law firm.”
“Ah? What’s the date today…”
“May 19, 2019, Sunday. Doctor, are these questions related to my condition?”
Mu Lan’s tone was even, but the doctor didn’t know how to react for a moment.
He had never seen a case like this in his many years of practice!
“Mrs. Huo, you…”
Mu Lan looked at the doctor indifferently.
“If there’s nothing else wrong with my body, I’d like to be discharged.”
“Lanlan, you’re not in a condition to be discharged right now.”
Lanlan? Mu Lan looked up at Huo Tingxiao. What was this man doing? He never called her that way before, so what did it mean for him to use such an intimate nickname in front of strangers? Had he lost his mind?
“Why not? I’m clear-headed now, and I don’t feel any significant pain.”
Huo Tingxiao looked at her and patiently explained:
“We just need to do a brain CT scan to confirm that…”
“Fine, so I can be discharged after that’s done?”
Mu Lan’s tone of voice was like she was talking to a stranger, and Huo Tingxiao struggled to adapt, though he forced himself to act as if nothing was wrong.
“Yes.”
When Huo Tingxiao took Mu Lan out of the ward, Pei Zhao was no longer in the corridor.
Mu Lan felt that Huo Tingxiao was very off. This was not the man she knew at all, and she thought he was the one who should be getting his head checked.
“Let me go, I can walk by myself.
Huo Tingxiao, what’s wrong with you? You seem very off.”
Huo Tingxiao gave a bitter smile, looking at Mu Lan, who was full of wariness towards him, and felt a sting in his heart.
“Yes, I’m very off. I…”
“What happened, how can there be a car accident all of a sudden? Lanlan, you scared me to death.
Where did you get hurt? How’s Yun Xi? She’s okay, isn’t she? I called you just now, and you didn’t answer. When I called Yun Xi, they said you had an accident, I nearly lost my soul.”
Mu Lan looked at Gu Xiaoman and asked hesitantly:
“Xiaoman, this Yun Xi you mentioned… who is she?”
Gu Xiaoman was stunned, blinking her eyes.
“Lanlan, what’s wrong with you? Yun Xi… how could you…”
She glanced at Huo Tingxiao and saw the helpless smile on his face, and only then did Gu Xiaoman realize.
“You’ve lost your memory again?”
The emphasis on the word “again” was quite subtle.
Yes, Mu Lan had lost her memory again…
Even after the examination, the doctor couldn’t believe he’d encountered such an unusual patient in his years of practice.
Gu Xiaoman was also taken aback by what she heard.
“So, her current condition is that she’s recovered her past memories but has forgotten everything that happened in the past few months?”
The doctor nodded.
“Yes, that’s correct.
But regaining memory is a good thing. It doesn’t matter if she’s forgotten the past few months.”
The doctor intended to comfort the family with this, but as soon as he finished speaking, the air around them turned several degrees colder.
Huo Tingxiao’s face darkened frighteningly, and the doctor couldn’t figure out what he had said wrong to upset him. He hurriedly excused himself.
Gu Xiaoman quickly tried to smooth things over.
“She’ll definitely remember. It’s okay, no worries, don’t panic. It’s just a small issue, no need to panic.”
With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Gu Xiaoman stared at Mu Lan for a long time before she couldn’t help but ask:
“Lanlan, are you… pretending to have lost your memory and putting on an act for me?”
