In just a few days, Xu Changde lost a lot of weight. His black hair also had many silver threads, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed a lot deeper, which made him look a little old. He held a photo in his hand. Hailan in the photo was smiling so sweetly. Xu Changde suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart for no reason. He took out the lighter and lit it! With a lit up, the leaping flame illuminated his gloomy face. The hand holding the lighter was stuck for a long time before he came over and lit a corner of the photo. The flame quickly rose up, but Xu Changde still had no intention of letting go. Looking at Hailan's gradually blurred face in the flames, his heart was bleeding, and the flames burned to his skin. The burning pain did not make him feel better at all.

The phone ring suddenly rang, and Xu Changde let go of the lit photo as if he woke up from a dream. Only then did he feel a little pain, he moved his red fingers and reached out to hold the phone. He did not pick up the phone immediately, until the phone ringed six more times, then he picked it up: "Hey!"

A low voice came from the phone: "She remembered nothing, and she had a selective memory loss. The doctor said that her memory stayed before she was twenty years old."

Xu Changde pursed his lips, a trace of guilt and relief flashed across his face. The expression that flashed by hurriedly was so complicated. He took a secret breath and said, "Confirm?"

"It's certain! The attending doctor said that the possibility of her memory recovery is almost zero. Don't worry, after the limelight is over, I will clear this hidden danger."

Xu Changde closed his eyes and was thinking quickly in his mind. After a full half-minute silence, he said, "Stop it!"

"But……"

"No, let's stop here. Even if she really remembers everything in the past, I will accept my fate!"

Zhang Yang is a person who is unwilling to accept the mercy of fate. However, he began to realize that some things cannot be completely controlled by himself. Just like Hailan's accident, and Hailan's rejection of him, he originally thought that the relationship with Hailan had finally had a result, but he did not expect it to change halfway. Under the care of the hospital and his careful treatment, Hailan's body was recovering at an astonishing speed, but her memory of the past few years was still blank. She forgot her worries, misfortune, Zhang Yang, and love. For her, life seemed to have returned to the years five years ago. She was full of beautiful vision for the world and she was full of hope for the future.

When Gu Jiatong found Zhang Yang, he was sitting in the Munich 1860 bar diagonally opposite the Provincial People's Hospital to drink. During this period, Zhang Yang had been staying at the Provincial People's Hospital to accompany Hailan. After Hailan woke up, his repulsion and fear of him made Zhang Yang feel at a loss. He discovered this bar, and spent almost most of the time here in the past few days.

Under the dim light, Zhang Yang picked up a big glass of beer and savored slowly. He did not lose confidence because of Hailan's performance, but he had to face the reality in front of him. There is little possibility that Hailan will recover in a short period of time. He has his own job and career, and it is impossible for him to stay in the provincial capital for a long time. In fact, even if he stayed, it would be useless to Hailan's recovery. Hailan seemed to have changed someone after waking up. He could not find a trace of warmth in his eyes. The rest were panic and fear. Zhang Yang hated this feeling. He drank the beer in one breath and snapped his fingers to the waiter in the bar, signaling him to give him another glass.

A faint fragrance floated in the air. Zhang Yang was already very familiar with the tempting smell. He knew that Gu Jiatong had arrived without turning around. Since Hailan's accident, the two of them suddenly put down their prejudices and have become good friends. Gu Jiatong was wearing a black long skirt and sat down beside Zhang Yang with generous looks. She looked at the empty beer glass on the table and couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong? Are you drinking alone here to drown your sorrow?"

Zhang Yang smiled embarrassedly and shouted to the waiter: "Two cups!"

Gu Jiatong put her long black curly hair behind her head, took out Zhang Yang's phone from her delicate lv bag, and pushed it in front of Zhang Yang: "I asked my friend to fix it for you. Be careful next time, don't get water."

Zhang Yang picked up his phone and turned on the power button: "Sister Jiatong, how much does it cost?"

Gu Jiatong glared at him with some dissatisfaction and said, "I said why are you so philanthropist? How can we not talk about money? That thing is dirty!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Since that thing is dirty, you still try your best to do it every day!"

The waiter who brought the wine to hear their conversation, and the expression on his face became a little ambiguous. He glanced at Gu Jiatong. A beauties with noble temperament like Gu Jiatong could easily attract men's attention. Gu Jiatong keenly noticed the ambiguousness in the waiter's eyes. He recalled the conversation with Zhang Yang just now, and his face felt a little hot for no reason. He glared at the waiter and said, "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I asked the boss to fry you?"

The waiter was so scared that he hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly left with the tray.

Gu Jiatong took out the cigarette and took out one of it, but found that she did not bring a lighter.

Zhang Yang picked up the match, lit it, and then came to her. Gu Jiatong lowered her head, sucked the cigarette with her plump lips gently. The fireworks were bright and dark under her sucking. She straightened her waist and reorganized her scattered curly hair with her left hand, spitting out a faint smoke. Through the smoke, she found that Zhang Yang's deep eyes were staring at her. She smiled gracefully and reservedly: "What do you think I'm doing?"

Zhang Yang pointed to the cigarette in her hand: "Smoking is harmful to health!"

Gu Jiatong said: "I'm used to it, I may not be able to change it!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I heard that yours is the deputy director of the tobacco factory. We can't just smoke it hard just because we don't spend money on smoking, right?"

If someone else said this, Gu Jiatong would definitely throw the lit cigarette on the other party's face. However, when Zhang Yang said this, Gu Jiatong did not feel angry. Instead, she laughed: "I came here with the purpose of comforting you. Judging from your virtue, I still haven't forgotten to hit me, proving that you are very good and don't need anyone to comfort you."

Zhang Yang would have made some jokes if he was usually accused of making fun of Hailan, but now he has lost the mood to make fun of him because of Hailan.

Gu Jiatong's phone kept ringing, answering three calls in a row, and hung up the phone with a little embarrassed smile and said, "There are too many things to do, by the way, where are we talking about?"

Zhang Yang took a big sip of beer and said, "Say you want to comfort me!"

Gu Jiatong couldn't help laughing: "How is Hailan's situation?"

Speaking of Hailan, Zhang Yang couldn't help but frown and said, "The body has recovered well, but she still can't remember me. She has forgotten everything that happened in the past five years." In fact, Shanghai Lan's situation is much more serious than what he said. Hai Lan not only forgot him, but also treats him as an enemy, full of caution and fear. Every time he sees Hailan's panicked gaze, Zhang Yang feels a tingling pain in his heart. This is also the fundamental reason why he would rather choose to get drunk by a bar instead of staying in the hospital. However, his alcohol content is too large, and this beer can only be a drink for him to cool down and quench his thirst in summer.

Gu Jiatong reminded him: "You have been busy with Hailan's affairs these days and have not yet followed up for my younger sister."

Zhang Yang smiled apologetically: "I'm so sorry, I'm confused during this period and didn't take this matter into consideration."

Gu Jiatong sighed and said, "Caring is a mess. Hailan can't remember you. She completely treats you as a stranger. It seems that you will not recover in a short period of time. Are you planning to stay here for the rest of your life?"

"I will leave the provincial capital tomorrow!"

Gu Jiatong was stunned for a moment, and she didn't expect Zhang Yang to answer so simply.

Zhang Yang put down his beer glass, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see the upbringing!"

Gu Yangyang spent most of his time in her studio. When Zhang Yang arrived, she was painting a landscape painting. The gray sky, the white beach, and the deep blue river water were flowing with a faint sadness. Only the two egrets flying on the picture were filled with a little hope and brightness. This familiar picture made Zhang Yang think of the scene when he first saw Gu Yangyang. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Gu Jiatong coughed gently, awakening Gu Yangyang who was immersed in the painting. She turned her head and saw Zhang Yang's cherry lips that were lacking in blood were slightly raised, and her clear beautiful eyes flashed with faint ripples, and her whole pretty face suddenly became vivid.

"Brother Zhang!" Gu Yangyang put down the brush in his hand, turned the wheelchair to come to Zhang Yang. After not seeing him for a few days, Zhang Yang was obviously much thinner and his hair seemed a little messy. The only thing that had not changed was his straight back, clear eyes, and kind smile. However, Gu Yangyang still captured the faint sadness deep in his eyes.

Zhang Yang squatted down. This height made Gu Yangyang feel that the distance between him became very close. She whispered: "Brother Zhang, why haven't you come here these days? You promised to help me treat the next day. I've been waiting for you all day!"

Looking at this innocent little girl, Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing: "I'm sorry, because my work has been delayed. I came here today to treat you. By the way, have you taken the medicine I prescribed for you on time?"

Gu Yangyang nodded vigorously.

Gu Jiatong knew Zhang Yang's rules for medical treatment and quietly left the door.

When Gu Yangyang saw his sister leaving, he whispered to Zhang Yang: "Brother Zhang, I practice the qigong you taught me every day, but in the past two days I feel a burning pain from my feet."

Zhang Yang reached out and pointed at the three acupoints of Xinggu, Chongyang and Jiexi: "Did it start to hurt from here?"

Gu Yangyang nodded.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "This is the effect. Don't worry, the pain will not be too severe. It should be within the range you can bear. It seems that your legs will recover faster than I expected." He carefully helped Gu Yangyang remove his shoes and socks, and held her feet in the palm of his hand.

Although Gu Yangyang knew that Zhang Yang was treating her illness, she still felt a little shy. Her long and curled eyelashes trembled gently, just like the beautiful wings of a butterfly in the wind. She finally chose to close her eyes and felt that Zhang Yang's palms that were holding her feet were becoming more and more hot. Two hairspring-like heat penetrated from her feet, expanding and combing the meridians of her lower limbs like silk. Then as the veins of her blood vessels gradually spread, it seemed that millions of ants crawled over her lower limbs. This feeling was itchy and painful. Gu Yangyang subconsciously bit her cherry lips, resisting the sound, and a pair of white slender hands clamped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly.

Zhang Yang used his internal force to clear the meridians of the stagnant and blocked lower limbs. From the Sui Dynasty to the 1990s, although he was lucky enough to preserve his internal force, his internal force was greatly reduced. If it were in the past, he could open up the meridians of the occlusion with his internal force alone, but he would also lose a lot of internal force. Although he really wanted to help Gu Yangyang, he was willing but lacked enough strength and could only open up the main acupoints and joints first. As for the complete meridian connection, he had to rely on medicine and Gu Yangyang's own exercise.

After Zhang Yang's internal force was running for three days, he let go of Gu Yangyang's ankles, and he helped Gu Yangyang wear shoes and socks.

Gu Yangyang looked at Zhang Yang quietly, and a feeling of unspeakable warmth suddenly arose in his heart. After Zhang Yang put on her shoes and socks, he stood up and said, "You continue painting. I will come to the provincial capital to follow up for you if you have time."

"Are you leaving?" Gu Yangyang's voice was filled with surprise and reluctance.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "My work unit is in Chunyang, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with!"

"If you want to transfer your job, maybe I can ask my dad to help you." Gu Yangyang blurted out.

If someone else heard this sentence, he would be very surprised and overjoyed, but Zhang Yang did not express anything. He did not mean to make friends with the provincial party secretary Gu Yunzhi, but he did not use the intention of treating Gu Yangyang and treating Gu Yunzhi, and he did not want to use the simple Gu Yangyang to achieve the purpose of promotion and wealth. Zhang Yang currently has no interest in the provincial capital. It is better to be the head of a chicken than the back of a cow. This is the minimum principle of Zhang Daguan. Even if he uses it, he should put this favor at the most critical moment. At least now he does not need to work. Secretary Gu does anything for himself. Zhang Yang smiled slightly and said, "I don't want to ask you to do anything. Raise and rest with peace of mind, don't think too much."

The more he said this, the more moved Gu Yangyang. Gu Yangyang knew that because of her prominent official position, the people around him showed such care and respect to her. Most of them had a purpose. Zhang Yangyang was different from others. His words just now seemed a little presumptuous. Gu Yangyang said apologetically: "I'm sorry..."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Nothing sorry, don't say polite words to me in the future." He said goodbye and walked out of the studio and found that Gu Jiatong was waiting for him outside. Zhang Yang took the towel she handed over and wiped the sweat off her face.

Gu Jiatong handed him another glass of water. His fatigue could be seen from his Changyang expression. Gu Jiatong said curiously: "How did you heal your wounds? It seems you are very tired."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Does all women have the same curiosity as you?"

Gu Jiatong glared at him and said, "Zhang Yang, do you feel uncomfortable if you don't hurt my feelings?"

Zhang Yang shook his head. He and Gu Jiatong came to the living room side by side. Gu Yunzhi and his son were not at home. The small building of the Gu family seemed even more empty. This was the second time Zhang Yang came here. The Gu family gave him a feeling of depression and dullness, lacking the joyful atmosphere of ordinary families. It seems that Gu Yunzhi unconsciously brought everything in the government to his home. In the eyes of Zhang Daguanren, the home should be a relaxing occasion. All the masks of outside operations should be put aside at home. Few people in the officialdom can do it. Whether it is Li Changyu or Gu Yunzhi, their homes are always shrouded in an atmosphere of disfavor. This is not for outsiders, but for family members themselves.

Zhang Yang asked for paper and pen and quickly wrote a prescription on it, handed it to Gu Jiatong and said, "Sister Jiatong, you can take medicine according to this prescription, which will be good for your health."

Gu Jiatong glanced at the prescription. She knew nothing about medical skills and didn't know what Zhang Yang wrote.

Although Zhang Yang's recent temperament has been much more restrained by Hai Lan, his prank will inevitably be revealed. In Gu Jiatong's opinion, this guy's smile now seems a little evil: "Well... Just take the medicine according to the prescription I wrote, so that you can keep your menstruation smooth and free after a month and return to normal rules."

Gu Jiatong's pretty face was so shameless that she was extremely thick-skinned that she could say such things openly. Don't he know how to write the word "twisting"? Gu Jiatong bit her lip and said, "The dog can't spit out ivory!"

Zhang Yang laughed twice, and did not argue with Gu Jiatong on this topic. Although he decided to leave the provincial capital, Hailan's affairs still made him worry. He solemnly said: "Sister Jiatong, I want you to do me a favor!"

Before he could say it, Gu Jiatong understood what he asked for him, nodded and said, "Do you want me to help you take care of Hailan?"

Zhang Yang said: "It's not just about taking care of her, Hailan's body should recover soon. When will her memory recover, she can only rely on heaven. But you should have seen the scene that night. Someone wants to harm her. I'm worried that this matter still has not passed and her life will be endangered!"

Gu Jiatong said: "Don't worry, I will let Zhang Defang handle this matter, and the police will intervene to protect Hailan in the near future."

Zhang Yang believed in Gu Jiatong's ability. He took a sip of tea and said sincerely: "Sister Jiatong, thank you."

"Do you come to Dongjiang often lately?"

Zhang Yang nodded: "I should come here often, one for visiting Hailan, and the other for follow-up visits for maintenance."

Gu Jiatong said: "Okay, remember to call me when you come."

This trip to the provincial capital took Zhang Yang seven days. After returning to Chunyang, he became much silent and rested in Chunyang's temporary dormitory for a whole day. Since he was reborn, he has never felt such fatigue. This is a feeling of almost exhaustion. What happened to Hailan made him realize that there are still many things in this world that he cannot do, and many things cannot be solved by relying solely on martial arts and medical skills.

The phone rang many times, but Zhang Yang didn't answer it. It was not until night fell that he got up from the bed and looked at the missed calls. Most of them were called by Chu Yanran. Thinking of Chu Yanran's youthful and pretty face, she remembered her concern for herself, Zhang Yang felt a warmth from the bottom of her heart, and the message on the page was displayed - Boy, where are you hiding? Are you back?

Zhang Yang picked up his cell phone and called Chu Yanran.

Chu Yanran's mixed voice of surprise and anger came from the receiver: "What's wrong with you? You have been missing these days. Do you still care about the hospital's affairs? Do you still care about the medical beauty center affairs? You can't cheat our investments and then let go..."

Zhang Yang interrupted her: "Girl, are you concerned about investment or me?"

Chu Yanran was stunned and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, she whispered: "You are heartless, are you worthy of my concern?"

A smile appeared on his lips: "I know, if there is someone in this world who cares about me, that person must be you!"

"Hey! You are so disgusting. I don't care about you. I honestly tell you, what have you been doing these days?"

Of course, Zhang Yang would not tell Chu Yanran the specific things that happened in Dongjiang. He smiled and said, "He helped my sister arrange schooling and clear all aspects of the relationship, so it took a few days to delay. But my phone broke down after being in the rain and was only repaired today. I just came back from the long distance. I was too tired, so I didn't hear the phone ring just now. I'm sorry."

Chu Yanran gently bit her cherry lips. The girl's thoughts were the most meticulous. When she carefully savored Zhang Yang's words, she had to deal with them perfunctorily. If he really thought about herself, wouldn't he call her for so many days? When Chu Yanran thought of this, she couldn't help feeling a little wronged. Since she met Zhang Yang, she seemed to have been looking for him. When this guy didn't take the initiative to contact her, if he barely said that there was, it was just that when he wanted to invest in a beauty center, he felt wronged and his emotions became depressed. The girl's emotional performance was very obvious, and she hung up the phone without warning.

Zhang Yang originally wanted to make a few jokes, but the phone suddenly broke. He was about to call back, but at this time Li Changyu's phone call came over, and Li Changyu's tone seemed very serious. From his tone alone, Zhang Yang chewed a bit of ominous smell: "Zhang Yang, has something happened to you in Dongjiang?"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment and recalled what happened in Dongjiang. Although the police were raided and arrested him and Hailan, the matter had been resolved. Luan Shengwen had no reason to reveal the matter. In order to rescue Gu Jiatong, he killed a man himself. However, the matter had been characterized as self-defense and the police would not hold him accountable. Moreover, both of these matters were quite secret and were within the scope of the police's confidentiality. Li Changyu had no reason to know.

After Zhang Yang was briefly surprised, he immediately laughed: "Deputy Mayor Li, I am just drinking and making friends in Dongjiang. I have never done anything that violates the principle of party spirit."

Li Changyu said in a low voice: "Zhang Yang, someone wants to touch you, I think you are doing a low-key role recently." There was no need to hide between him and Zhang Yang, and these words were said directly.

"Who wants to touch me?" Zhang Yang frowned. He didn't even know which one he had offended.
To be continued...
