Chapter 54: Covenant (3)
I bowed my head and chuckled, and stopped talking.
"Based on my diagnosis and combined with their respective conditions, I speculate that there are two reasons for this lady's amnesia, one is neurological damage caused by external factors, and the other is internal self-selective amnesia, which is simply self-selected amnesia after suffering an excessive shock."
"And in my judgment, the cause of the lady's amnesia should belong to the first type."
"How do you say that?" C asked.
"Hmm.... That is, the lady should have had some facial plastic surgery before, and the large operation on the face may have hurt the nerves. â
"Really? Brother T. â
"Uh-huh....."
.....
"Hello, Yaoguang Plastic Surgery Club, what are your requirements for your appearance?"
.....
"Brother T, are you okay? Feeling unwell? â
I shook my head and rubbed my temples, the pain subsided slightly, I looked up at the doctor, and nodded, "It should be so, then how do I need to recover, doctor." â
"This can't be urgent, you need to rest at ease, you can get in touch with familiar things in the past, it helps to recover memory, or with the help of hypnosis, but depending on the current state of the lady, I recommend resting."
After seeing the doctor, C suddenly stopped me, he reached out and handed me the card in his hand, "The password is your birthday." â
"Just what?"
"Your card is frozen, and it should have been done by your father, because almost everyone knows about your five-year covenant with J."
"Oh.... By the way, how did you know my birthday? â
"I read it on Weibo."
.....
Da Da Da Da .... Da Da Da Da .... Da Da Da Da ..
Da Da...
Da Da ..
"Bang!"
.....
I opened my eyes suddenly, and found that I didn't know when I was leaning on the edge of the sofa to sleep, my head was in sharp pain, I frowned, and the empty voice in my dream sounded again, it was so sonorous, it was so shocking, but what was it?
I got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, looking at the endless deep black desert, as if I had returned to the wasteland of the past, but I always can't recall the memory of J, and sadly, I didn't even see J's shadow.
C said, today is the day agreed with J, if J has not appeared tonight, then my fate with him is doomed.
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Is J coming? Is the person I never remembered, finally here? I opened the door and saw C.
"You have amnesia alone, I really don't feel at ease, so I'll come with you and wait for Brother J, rest assured, I knew Brother J very well before, and Brother J won't misunderstand." C bared his white teeth and smiled harmlessly.
In the outdoor pool, I lazily leaned on the edge, looking at the bustling and dazzling night view of this oil city, I picked up my phone again, looked at the delicate-faced girl on the screen, and pressed the string of passwords that vaguely appeared in my heart again, but it still failed, and the screen display was locked for ten minutes.
I put my phone aside, picked up the red wine on the plate, took a sip in my mouth, and C came to me at some point, just following my previous line of sight, looking at the night scene in the distance.
"Will he come?" I asked.
"Yes, J will definitely come, we all know how much he loved you back then, when it was such a cold ice field, he still carried you forward when it was difficult to move an inch, in order to help you detoxify, his mouth was almost all ulcerated, he will definitely come as scheduled."
The doorbell rang again, and the high-end equipment allowed the bell to reach the terrace, and my pupils instantly widened, and my heart gradually became nervous, because the person in the fog seemed to be about to appear.
However, it was the butler and a few waiters who walked in the door, pushing the cart and bringing a few exquisite dishes.
"I'm sorry, I made it in advance and forgot to tell you." C said apologetically.
"Why are you here?" I looked at the plates of food that had been put on the surface of the water, blinking in confusion.
"Because I think you must not have eaten much dinner, didn't your card be frozen by your father, and the cash you brought must be limited."
I raised my eyes to look at C, and I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.
The weather was a lot cooler, so we soaked in the pool together while waiting for J's arrival.
"Brother T."
"Huh?"
"Since you can't even remember Brother J now, why are you still expecting him to come?"
"Hmm.... How to say, although I can't remember J, but I can really feel in my heart that I once loved someone madly, I have experienced a lot with him, sweetness, happiness, obstacles, frustrations, difficulties, and even life and death, these are as deep as imprints in my heart, so I believe that I love J very much in my heart, and I still am, otherwise I would not have come here as promised. â
"So you forgot about him, but still love him? Is this really possible? â
"Uh... I also feel weird, my memory is fragmented, like a broken puzzle, and I can feel that the missing piece is still the most important link, and without this piece everything becomes inexplicable, this feeling is really.. It's so uncomfortable...."
I slowly hugged my head, my expression growing painful.
"It's okay, it's okay, if you can't think of it, don't think about it first, you can't be in a hurry, take your time." C was a little worried for a while, "Eat something, these dishes are very nutritious and will help you recover your memory." â
I looked at the crystal clear slices of meat on the plate, and I didn't want to lose C's kindness, so I picked up a slice and put it in my mouth, the meat slices were crispy and delicious, and it was very delicious.
I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of food is this, it's so delicious, I've never eaten it before." â
"Eat more if it's delicious." C glanced at the menu with a smile, and suddenly his face was pale, and after a long time, he raised his head and said slowly, "This is.... Penguin meat. â
I jerked my head up, as if I had been shocked, and looked at C with my eyes wide open.
The air seemed to freeze, and the water in the pool seemed to freeze under the cold wind, and it was shivering.
My eyes fell on the delicate plate of meat on the water's surface, and the shiny slices of meat seemed so striking at the moment.
After a long time, C exhaled and slowly spoke, "In this way, on the ice field back then, J didn't take penguin meat, but... Own meat. â
At some point, the wind blew over the wine glasses floating on the water, and the red liquor spread, making the water in the pool appear to be stained scarlet.
In the cold weather, the picture seems to return to the barren ice field, and the thinly dressed man looks at the sleeping girl wrapped in a coat, gritting his teeth and cutting off his own flesh.....
And one day, many years later, the girl ate real penguin meat and learned the truth.
âCăâ
"Huh?"
"Can you show me a photo of me and J before? It's in Weibo. â
"Okay."
C took out his mobile phone and clicked on Weibo, came to my side, and brought the screen to my eyes, in front of my eyes, there are beautiful photos of girls on the screen, there are ballet, fitness, travel, luxury cars, yachts, all kinds of .....
"You are the most self-disciplined girl I have ever seen in life, sports are simply a part of life, every time I look at the photos you post on Weibo, it is a visual enjoyment, to be honest, you are the most beautiful and exquisite girl I have ever seen, but I didn't expect it after seeing a real person..."
"I didn't expect it to be all a lie?"
"No, I didn't expect you to be more beautiful and more shapely and slender."
I smiled slightly, the photo kept sliding down, and the girl in the film kept changing the place of wear.
"Do I like to travel?" I can't help but ask.
"Yes, I like it very much, maybe after leaving J, traveling can make you more relaxed, but I think you actually hope to meet J."
"I... Don't you have to work? These travel expenses are not small, right? I looked at the various places of interest and the famous brands in the photos and asked again.
"Hmm... Your father doesn't need you to work. C replied.
I fell into silence, and it was my years of relying on my family that led to my embarrassment today, I should have been independent, but fortunately I had a C.
"What do you do?"
"Lawyer, I opened a small firm in Beijing." C smiles.
"You're amazing, if only I could do that to you." I say.
Soon there was an extra person next to the girl in the picture, and there was a flower-like smile on the girl's face.
My eyes instantly straightened, looking at this group photo like a beautiful person, the memories of the past rolled in like a spring, J, I remember, I remember your appearance.
My eyes began to glow with tears, and soon tears welled up in my eyes and rolled down my eyes.
"Why? Why are we not destined to be together? Why do you and I have to separate when we love each other, why am I wrong? Why did I do something I shouldn't have done, I just did what a normal person would do, and fell in love with another person, is it because I can't choose to be born, just because I was born in a small bungalow, and I and you are destined to be impossible? â
My mind was filled with a man's angry roar, the voice carried indescribable resentment and unwillingness, this anger was empathetic, I couldn't help but clench my fists, trying my best to shout this sentence with the man.
I huddled together and cried, and C stayed by my side silently, not making a sound.
Time passed little by little, and I looked at the glowing clock on the railing, and if J didn't show up until 12 o'clock, I was really done with him.
It was really hard to wait, but fortunately, C was always by my side, and I suddenly realized that C was really good to me.
"Brother T, if Brother J... Well.. I said if, if Brother J didn't come, could you consider accepting a new life, a new life, a new beginning, a new person, like me. â
I looked at him, at this sunny and handsome man in front of me, I felt very familiar at the first sight of him, and he was as friendly as I felt, and I could feel the warmth from him.
If J hadn't come, I might have reconsidered starting a new life, and C is indeed a person to be trusted.
