After Losing My Memory, I Suddenly Had A Fiancée - Chapter 63

Ji Fanghuai simply wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. After that, she didn’t hear a word of what Jiang Zhi said to the doctor. Her mind was entirely focused on the fact that Jiang Zhi had just exposed her secretive and concealed truth.

Even though the other person was a doctor with professional ethics, she shouldn’t have avoided medical treatment out of shame, but she was shy!

After her X-ray, Ji Fanghuai exited the consultation room, ignored the people coming and going, turned, and buried herself in Jiang Zhi’s shoulder, pretending to be deaf and mute. It was as if by plunging into her own little world, no one could see her.

Jiang Zhi raised a hand to pat her shoulder and said softly, “We don’t know the side effects yet, but it’s a good reference.”

Ji Fanghuai tightly hugged Jiang Zhi’s neck, clinging to her shoulder like a pendant. She knew with absolute certainty that there were no side effects. Aside from chafing and weak legs, she really couldn’t think of any other side effects from sexual intercourse between lovers.

Those health magazines often present two contradictory claims: some say sex is nourishing, while others say excessive indulgence harms the body.

But for them, it had become something unspeakable. Ji Fanghuai felt that she would not be coming back to this hospital anytime soon.

Ji Fanghuai didn’t know how Jiang Zhi managed to discuss the situation with the doctor without changing her expression. Although she used purely professional terminology without a hint of obscenity or eroticism, the mere thought of it made her feel incredibly ashamed.

Was she too conservative?

Ji Fanghuai looked up suspiciously at Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi was wearing a coffee-colored overcoat today, with a white V-neck sweater underneath, black fitted pants, and brown flats. She looked utterly conservative in style.

Jiang Zhi’s mouth curved upwards, as she was watching her intently.

Feeling her thoughts had been exposed, Ji Fanghuai quickly lowered her head.

Jiang Zhi took the payment slip to pay the fee. During this time, Ji Fanghuai followed behind her with her head bowed, just like when she had done something wrong as a child and trailed after her silently.

Jiang Zhi couldn’t help but smile, “Fanghuai, are you feeling shy?”

Shouldn’t she be shy? Ji Fanghuai folded her arms and retorted, “Why aren’t you shy?”

Jiang Zhi replied, “I only get shy in front of people I care about.”

Only in front of people she cared about would her emotions fluctuate significantly. In front of a professional like the doctor, she could talk about her medical condition without batting an eyelid, just as naturally as answering a question. The most important reason was that she genuinely worried there might be side effects.

Ji Fanghuai mumbled, “You’re just thick-skinned.”

Jiang Zhi didn’t say anything, only the corners of her lips smiled.

Ji Fanghuai knew Jiang Zhi wanted to say that she used to be just as shameless. Sure enough, Jiang Zhi’s next sentence was, “It’s not that I’m thick-skinned; it’s that you’ve become too easily shy now. The other person is a doctor, we are patients. Not concealing an illness from the doctor is a patient’s responsibility to themselves.”

Ji Fanghuai opened her mouth, but in the end, she just puffed out her cheeks and ignored her flawed logic.

Even if she knew the situation was special and the condition should be truthfully reported to the doctor, could there be an exception when the circumstances were this unique?

Evidently, the benefit of going to the hospital with Jiang Zhi was that Jiang Zhi would clearly articulate the condition in an orderly manner, and all she had to do was follow the steps for the examination.

“I used to be shy too.” Ji Fanghuai looked around, saw no one, and pecked Jiang Zhi on the mouth unexpectedly.

After this period of intimacy and in-depth understanding, she had completely lost all self-image in front of Jiang Zhi.

She was now a person who had had such an intensely pleasurable experience with Jiang Zhi that it even triggered her memory retrieval.

Since that was the case, she might as well stop putting on airs.

Jiang Zhi’s face froze for a moment. Her long, feathery eyelashes fluttered up and down. Like someone who had secretly tasted honey, she peeked out her tongue to lick her lips, a look of utter contentment on her face.

This was their first intimate contact since Ji Fanghuai had recovered her memory.

“Let’s go home.” Jiang Zhi took Ji Fanghuai’s hand, wanting to return home quickly.

Just then, a phone call came in. Jiang Zhi looked at the caller ID, answered the phone, and her expression wasn’t good.

Ji Fanghuai looked at her in confusion.

Jiang Zhi’s expression slightly tightened, “Jin Lin got hurt while filming.”

Ji Fanghuai was slightly stunned, then calmly said, “Oh.”

Jiang Zhi was surprised by her lack of reaction. In the past, Ji Fanghuai would definitely have worried, after all, Jin Lin was her favorite actress. However, that was because Ji Fanghuai had amnesia, and now that her memory was restored, could it be…

Jiang Zhi frowned, considering a possibility.

Ji Fanghuai felt uneasy under Jiang Zhi’s gaze. She had only idolized Jin Lin when she had amnesia, but now that she had recovered, she naturally had to continue their previous mode of interaction.

She said, “Should we go to the hospital to see her?”

Jiang Zhi suppressed the strange thoughts in her head and got into the car with Ji Fanghuai, saying, “She was just transferred from the hospital to her home, and a family doctor is looking after her now.”

Ji Fanghuai said, “Oh, then we’ll go to her house.”

Jiang Zhi hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, “Fanghuai, you actually care, right?”

Ji Fanghuai was confused, “She’s your friend, of course I care.”

Jiang Zhi shook her head, saying, “Not about that. What I mean is, you used to care about me too, right?”

Ji Fanghuai found it even more baffling, saying, “Of course I care about you. You used to be my sister, and now you are the person I love. I have always cared about you.”

Seeing that Ji Fanghuai was unwilling to admit it, Jiang Zhi didn’t press the matter further.

After Ji Fanghuai recovered her memory, she had become much colder towards Jin Lin. Previously, Jiang Zhi only knew that Ji Fanghuai didn’t like Jin Lin, but now she felt that the dislike seemed more like jealousy.

Yet, she was afraid she was overthinking it.

Fortunately, all of that was in the past.

Jin Lin’s residential compound had extremely strict security, and it was said that the area was frequented by big-name celebrities.

Ji Fanghuai and Jiang Zhi arrived at Jin Lin’s house, where she saw Jin Lin with a cast on her right arm, dressed in simple loungewear, and looking a bit thinner than she did on screen.

Ji Fanghuai looked at Jin Lin with complicated feelings.

Xin Ling was also there. She had gone to visit the set as an investor and unexpectedly ran into Jin Lin’s accident. Fortunately, the injury wasn’t severe.

Xin Ling saw Jiang Zhi and Ji Fanghuai coming in together and clicked her tongue, saying, “Are you two here to rub your love in our faces again?”

Jiang Zhi smiled without saying a word, then asked Jin Lin about her injury. Jin Lin glanced at Ji Fanghuai thoughtfully and said, “There were some issues with the props. It’s nothing serious.”

Jiang Zhi sighed in relief, “That’s good to hear.”

Ji Fanghuai sat quietly to the side, not speaking a word. Even Xin Ling found Ji Fanghuai a little odd. Usually, Ji Fanghuai would always talk about how much she liked Jin Lin’s portrayal of Princess Gaoyang, but now she hadn’t even offered a word of concern.

Xin Ling pulled Jiang Zhi towards the balcony and asked, “Why is Ji Fanghuai so cold? It’s like she’s a different person.”

Jiang Zhi was impressed by Xin Ling’s increased observation skills; Xin Ling had never cared about such minor details before.

She said, “She remembered.”

“Remembered? So sudden, no wonder.” Xin Ling realized belatedly, “But I don’t have any feud with her.”

The Ji Fanghuai in her memory had a relatively cheerful personality. Despite her poor original family background, she always smiled brightly when she was with Jiang Zhi and was even exaggeratedly praised by Jiang Zhi as being warm like a small sun.

However, they didn’t have much interaction, and because her good friend Jin Lin liked Jiang Zhi, and Jiang Zhi was single-mindedly devoted to Ji Fanghuai, out of friendship, Xin Ling naturally wasn’t very fond of Jin Lin’s love rival—Ji Fanghuai.

They were barely more than nodding acquaintances.

Later, when Ji Fanghuai had amnesia, their contact increased, and she found Ji Fanghuai’s personality quite amusing. Now, being inexplicably treated with coldness, Xin Ling felt a little hurt.

Jiang Zhi calmly said, “She was also very cold to me when she first recovered. It might be the overlap of two memories; she’s not used to it yet. She’ll be fine after some time.”

Xin Ling thought about it and was immediately relieved, “Even you were treated coldly, so I feel better now.”

Jiang Zhi: “…”

Seeing that Ji Fanghuai and Jin Lin seemed to have something to say, and even more to verify the thought in her mind, Jiang Zhi and Xin Ling sat on the balcony and started chatting.

“I heard that the great artist Xiaolin is looking for a place to live. I want to ask her to stay at my place—free food and accommodation—as long as she draws for me. But I can’t find a legitimate reason.”

Jiang Zhi looked at Xin Ling suspiciously and asked, “Why are you so obsessed with her drawings?”

Xin Ling looked eager to promote her, saying, “Don’t you think her drawings are beautiful? And the Xuan Ruo she drew is exactly what I imagined. That’s what you call mutual understanding.”

Jiang Zhi was extremely blunt and shook her head, saying, “I don’t think so, and I haven’t seen her drawings. I think it’s all because you’re the ‘Party A’ (the client). As ‘Party B’ (the artist), she naturally has to draw something that satisfies you. You have no idea how many drafts she threw away before submitting the final one.”

Xin Ling: “…”

It seemed that was really the case.

She said, “Anyway, I just like her drawing style. The fact that she was able to join the company’s original art team proves that her drawing skills are superb, and the characters she draws… forget it, I can’t explain it clearly to you. You just don’t know quality when you see it.”

Jiang Zhi: “…”

She looked at Xin Ling leisurely, suddenly recalling the explicit novel she read with Ji Fanghuai, and said, “The drawings you asked Lin Mianmian to do before were strange, and the documents you gave her were even more outrageous. Are you interested in her?”

“How is that possible? We are both non-marriage-minded. For us to get together would be more absurd than two ‘ones’ sleeping together!” Xin Ling argued vehemently.

Jiang Zhi pictured two ‘ones’ together, feeling a little hesitant to imagine it. She slowly said, “non-marriage minded people can still date. News often reports about scumbags acting like players under the guise of being non-marriage-minded. Furthermore, you only say you are non-marriage-minded.”

Xin Ling said very seriously, “In short, I really don’t have designs on her, and I won’t be a scumbag woman. Our relationship is especially pure. I set the price, she draws the picture. It’s a willing buyer and a willing seller. Party A and Party B will never have a result. Don’t overthink it. Only people with impure minds see impurity in everything. How sacred explicit novels are! In ancient times, they would just give you explicit paintings directly. I’m already being very subtle.”

“…” Jiang Zhi stopped asking, and once again looked towards Ji Fanghuai.

Xin Ling also silently told herself that she was only doing it for fun. Otherwise, if she wanted to see pictures, she could easily find them online, so why pay a high price for Lin Mianmian to draw them?

Ji Fanghuai and Jin Lin sat facing each other. The moment Ji Fanghuai stepped into the room, Jin Lin noticed the subtle change.

Besides lovers, rivals in love understand each other best. They had never coexisted peacefully before, which was why Jin Lin always confronted Ji Fanghuai head-on. She just didn’t expect all her punches to land on cotton.

Now, that feeling finally returned.

Ji Fanghuai said, “Miss Jin.”

“Congratulations on recovering your memory.” Jin Lin looked like she enjoyed watching the drama, “Actually, there’s one thing I couldn’t figure out: Since you only considered Jiang Zhi as a sister before, why did you treat me like an enemy? I thought you liked her too, but then you rejected her.”

The person she considered sweet as honey was treated as poison by her rival. Jin Lin had always been upset about this. The person she couldn’t catch was so easily rejected by Ji Fanghuai.

Of course, she couldn’t accept it.

Ji Fanghuai was a little distracted, recalling the past events. She said, “Even if she was a sister, she could only be my sister alone.”
