### Chapter 432: Has Yun Zhonghe Lost His Memory?!
“Yun Zhonghe!”
“Brother Yun!”
Mu Jixue and the others streamed in like a cheerful parade.
Every face was lit up with sincere smiles and concerned expressions.
Yun Zhonghe snapped back to reality, looking bewildered at the crowd surrounding his hospital bed.
“You guys…” His voice was a bit raspy, clearly still in the recovery phase.
“Brother Yun, you’ve been unconscious for three days! I was worried sick!” Su Xinghe was the first to rush forward, pouting adorably with a hint of reproach in her eyes, her eyelids slightly red from worry.
“Young Master, come on now, you’re not a kid anymore! Stop making us fret over you like this!” Tao Jiu’er chimed in right behind her.
Mu Jixue crossed her arms, pouting as if she’d just bitten into a sour candy. “Honestly, can you not push yourself so hard? You could’ve waited for us to help you when you got into trouble, but no—once again, you got yourself all banged up. It’s like you’ve got a talent for that!”
Lin Zhongyu blinked her eyes innocently, a gentle smile playing on her lips as she added, “That’s true! And you should’ve seen how worried Snowy was when she heard you got hurt.”
Mu Jixue froze for a second, her face turning crimson. She shot a surprised look at Lin Zhongyu. “Huh?”
She hadn’t expected Lin Zhongyu to be so direct, spilling her private worries right in front of Yun Zhonghe.
Lin Zhongyu recalled some snippets: “Like… ‘Why are you being such a fool? Why do you insist on being tough? You’re making me worry to d*ath! Can’t you just let us handle things sometimes?’ Stuff like that.”
Mu Jixue instantly felt a wave of embarrassment, rushing over to cover Lin Zhongyu’s mouth, intent on silencing her.
However, Lin Zhongyu seemed to anticipate this move, laughing and easily dodging her “sneak attack.”
Lin Zhongyu turned her gaze to Yun Zhonghe, her eyes sparkling with a mix of mischief and sincerity. “I’m sure, after this, your image in Snowy’s mind will be even more heroic, hehehe.”
“Wha—why would you say that, Xiao Yu! Stop teasing me!” Mu Jixue stammered, her cheeks flushing like a ripe tomato.
What a pair of besties! How did she not know Lin Zhongyu could be this devious?
The hospital room was bursting with a cheerful vibe.
Su Xiaoxiao, Qin Hongye, and Xia Linglong were also there, each offering their greetings to Yun Zhonghe.
But as time stretched on, they noticed Yun Zhonghe’s reaction was rather… subdued.
In fact, he seemed a bit troubled.
“Uh…”
Yun Zhonghe parted his lips, hesitating like he was trying to find the right words.
The others caught on to Yun Zhonghe’s odd demeanor, and the joyous expressions started to fade away.
Yun Zhonghe scratched his head, his brows knitting. “You mean this Yun Zhonghe… is me?”
“Eh?”
At this statement, Mu Jixue and the others went wide-eyed, each wearing an expression of shock.
…
At first, they thought Yun Zhonghe was joking, but those who knew him well could feel he was dead serious. He looked genuinely confused, and very, very strange.
It felt like he was experiencing… a sense of unfamiliarity.
He really couldn’t remember anything—not even his own name.
All the memories they shared together were lost in the ether.
This shift was like a bolt from the blue, sending waves of panic rippling through everyone in the room. No matter how hard they tried to mask it, an unshakeable anxiety surged forth like a tsunami.
Were all the beautiful memories they made with Yun Zhonghe just… gone?
The laughter, the tears, the adventures and challenges, the unforgettable moments—had they all been quietly erased?
It was as if a swarm of bees was buzzing wildly in their minds, making it hard to accept this brutal truth.
They hadn’t even had the chance to express their feelings to Yun Zhonghe or tell him how much he meant to them!
This regret weighed down on their hearts like a colossal boulder, making it difficult to breathe.
Even regret felt too late.
Just then, Tao Jiu’er snapped out of it first. She took a deep breath, squashing her own inner turmoil, and quickly got to her feet to find the medical staff.
After a bit of checking—
“Well, as it stands… this is the situation.”
The medical staff had noticed something was off long before and hadn’t allowed Mu Jixue and the others to visit.
An elderly physician sighed, “It seems he’s suffered some damage to his Sea of Consciousness… he’s lost his memory.”
While a sixth-grade Dan Pill could restore someone completely, memories were much trickier.
At this revelation, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
Yun Zhonghe could feel the sorrow and dismay radiating off the others. He felt a twinge of guilt, wanting to comfort them but unsure how: “I’m really sorry. I’m trying my best to remember, but… I still can’t recall who you are…”
“How could this happen…” Mu Jixue murmured.
She hadn’t gotten the chance to develop a deeper connection with Yun Zhonghe, nor had she told him how she felt, only to be hit with this twist of fate…
And it wasn’t just her; all the other girls felt the same way.
“I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault. If I had dealt with the opponent sooner, you wouldn’t have…”
Mu Jixue’s voice was heavy with self-reproach as she turned away, not wanting anyone to see the tears brimming in her eyes, still trying to maintain a composed façade.
But her tightly clenched fists betrayed her, the pressure leaving imprints in her palms like a map of her inner turmoil and pain.
Her fingers dug deeply into her palm, the creases formed from the tension reflecting her shattered sanity at this devastating news, a shivering whisper betraying her struggles and helplessness.
Under fluttering lashes, her unfocused gaze seemed to be torn apart by some invisible force, much like leaves swept away by a hurricane, leaving nothing but chaos behind.
This devastating news was like an invisible hand, grinding everyone’s reason to dust, then crushing it to powder, flooding them with pain and despair that nearly suffocated them.
A chilling silence enveloped the hospital room.
Yun Zhonghe watched the scene unfold, a hollow ache puncturing his chest.
He didn’t even understand why he felt this way. Maybe it was because he was simply that type of person.
Yun Zhonghe spoke up, “The person who should apologize is me. I’m sorry for causing all of you trouble.”
However, just when the air was thick with suffocating silence, the elderly physician piped up cheerfully, “But based on initial assessments, this is only temporary amnesia, so don’t worry! It’s likely he’ll recover in a day or two.”
The elderly physician looked quite smug ( •̀ ω •́ )✧.
Only someone with his exceptional medical skills could work wonders and cure this issue!
The crowd: “…”
The crowd: “Why didn’t you say that earlier?!!!”
