When I Woke Up, I Had Three Romantic Partners - Chapter 1

“Hiss…”

Chi Jinqing sat up from the hospital bed, holding her head. Everything in front of her was unfamiliar. She was a little confused. Wasn’t she at home? How did she end up at the hospital?

“The patient is awake, Dr. Zhang, the patient is awake.”

The nurse who had just pushed the door open saw Chi Jinqing sitting up and immediately turned around to call the doctor.

The doctor rushed over quickly, performed a series of checks on Chi Jinqing, and then determined that she could be discharged after two more days of observation.

“Young people still need to pay more attention to their health.”

The doctor left after speaking.

Chi Jinqing looked at the woman who had rushed over urgently after being notified, her face still showing confusion as she hadn’t figured things out: “You are?”

The woman, who had rushed over in a hurry, finally realized that something might be wrong. She dragged a chair over and sat by the hospital bed: “Jinqing, you don’t remember me?”

Chi Jinqing still hadn’t completely grasped the current situation: “May I ask who you are?”

The woman: “I am your manager, Qin Song. You can call me Sister Qin.”

Chi Jinqing said tactfully: “I’m sorry, are you filming some kind of variety show, randomly selecting people to play a prank?”

She was only eighteen and had just started university. How could she be in the entertainment industry and have a manager?

How come she didn’t know?

Qin Song didn’t say much and pressed the button to call the doctor.

The doctor walked over again, and Qin Song apologized to him: “I’m sorry to trouble you, but could you please check her head again? She seems to have lost her memory.”

Besides amnesia, she really couldn’t think of any reason why the usually obedient and hardworking Chi Jinqing would suddenly not remember her. Although Chi Jinqing wasn’t extremely famous, she did have a few popular works.

“I didn’t…”

Before Chi Jinqing could protest, she was examined again, and it was finally determined that her body was fine. As for why she had lost her memory.

“She has a blood clot in her brain pressing against a nerve. It is estimated that this, coupled with external stimulation, led to her memory loss.”

“She only feels like she’s eighteen years old now.”

This kind of blood clot is not life-threatening, so the doctor did not recommend surgery. It would be better for her condition to wait for it to dissipate on its own.

“Also, do not over-stimulate her in an attempt to make her recover her memory quickly, as this may cause her to become confused. Let her adapt first.”

This answer from the doctor made Qin Song’s expression turn a little grim. Chi Jinqing’s sudden injury was already unexpected, and now with amnesia, what was she going to do about the upcoming schedule?

After the doctor left, Chi Jinqing and Qin Song stared at each other. It was at this moment that Chi Jinqing finally had a slight feeling that something might really be wrong with her.

Chi Jinqing tentatively whispered: “…Um, you said you are my manager, so am I a celebrity now?”

“You are an actress.”

Qin Song massaged her forehead. Chi Jinqing was the most famous artist under her management, and since Chi Jinqing was quite skilled in acting, she had given her a lot of resources. In the next three months, Chi Jinqing had a dating variety show to attend, followed by an advertisement.

But with her current state of not knowing anything and being unable to hide it, she was extremely worried.

She didn’t know what eighteen-year-old Chi Jinqing was like, but when she met the other party, Chi Jinqing was only nineteen, and she was like a lost, cornered puppy that had been abandoned by others.

Her stubborn eyes and sweet face immediately made her feel that the other party might be able to develop in the entertainment industry. The two of them struggled together up until now, a full seven years. She accompanied Chi Jinqing through all the hardships.

Just when it seemed like they were finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel, she was chosen as the second female lead in a major production. This character setting was very good; as long as Chi Jinqing acted it well, she could definitely gain a large wave of fans, which would solidify her position for the female lead in the next drama.

Unfortunately, the rope broke while she was on the wire, causing Chi Jinqing to fall directly from a height of five meters. She fell into a coma and was hospitalized immediately. To avoid affecting the schedule, the crew had no choice but to let her withdraw, paid compensation and medical expenses, and Chi Jinqing slept in the hospital for more than a month.

The doctors all said Chi Jinqing’s body was fine, but they couldn’t figure out why she wouldn’t wake up.

If she didn’t wake up soon, the variety show and the advertisement would both terminate their contracts with her.

Chi Jinqing said indifferently: “Oh, an actress.”

Qin Song couldn’t stand seeing anyone slack off. She said with disappointment: “Can’t you be more serious about your career? You weren’t like this before. Have you forgotten that you still owe 600 million?”

Chi Jinqing: “?!”

600 million?

What exactly did her twenty-six-year-old self do to owe 600 million?!

Chi Jinqing’s voice trembled: “Did I… gamble?”

“No, your family went bankrupt.”

Qin Song organized her thoughts and briefly described the situation of the Chi family over the years. Previously, the Chi family invested in real estate, pouring more than 2 billion yuan into it, basically investing most of their assets. But unfortunately, a tomb was somehow unearthed there, so construction was not allowed to continue. The 2 billion yuan was a complete loss.

Later, Chi’s father was somehow tricked into entering the chip field, investing 300 million yuan. As a result, the other party somehow ran away with the money and left behind high-interest loans of more than 1 billion yuan, and the final signatory turned out to be Chi Jinqing’s father.

At that time, the Chi family had only a few hundred million yuan left, which was all used to compensate, but they still ended up losing 1 billion. This debt was placed upon Chi Jinqing. She was discovered by herself when she was at her wit’s end and subsequently entered the entertainment industry.

Chi Jinqing tapped her head, feeling that this seemed right, but… why couldn’t she remember it?

“Your debt was settled by the company when you entered Siyi Media, supposedly because you have someone supporting you, but you still need to pay off these debts yourself. Only the creditor has changed.

Over the years, you haven’t had much significant popularity, and you’ve only paid back 400 million of the debt. In addition, your father regained his footing and started a business again, paying back tens of millions.”

Qin Song lightly summarized Chi Jinqing’s experience over the past seven years, emphasizing that Chi Jinqing’s task was very heavy.

“You don’t have much time left. If you still can’t make yourself completely famous, as you get older, the limitations on the roles you can take on will become greater.”

Qin Song took out the computer from her bag and handed it over. Chi Jinqing still felt a blankness in her mind, but the seriousness of the matter wouldn’t allow her to rest. Qin Song spoke to her seriously about the variety show.

“This upcoming dating variety show is very important. This kind of show usually invites some artists to promote new dramas or gives less popular artists a chance to refresh their image. You must seize this opportunity. As long as you perform well in it, you won’t have to worry about scripts afterward.”

“These are the contents of the first few episodes of the variety show. You should watch them while you rest. Pay attention, don’t take it too seriously, just treat it as an ordinary variety show for gaining fans.”

“But… I don’t know how to act.”

Chi Jinqing held the computer, feeling like her head was splitting in two. The only time she had ever acted was towards Si Jiamo, the woman she had deceived, who was also her first love.

If her family hadn’t had an accident at that time, and she was overwhelmed with anxiety, and then Si Jiamo’s friend hadn’t revealed that she pursued her and dated her just because of a bet, she wouldn’t have broken up with her so recklessly.

So, she couldn’t imagine what it was like for her to act.

Could she really appear on the show like this?

But circumstances no longer allowed her to wait. As soon as the three-month recovery period was over and her body recovered, Qin Song packaged her up and sent her to the variety show set.

During these three months of recovery, she received messages from three people.

The first was Si Jiamo. She didn’t expect that after seven years, she would still have a connection with her.

The message the other party sent was very plain, just a simple inquiry about her condition. Chi Jinqing pondered her current character setting. According to Qin Song’s description, she was currently a relatively silent person, basically marginalized and transparent. If it weren’t for the solid basic acting skills she had desperately studied and worked hard to achieve over the years, many directors probably wouldn’t use her.

So, how would twenty-six-year-old Chi Jinqing reply?

She deleted and rephrased, finally sending only four words: Thank you for your concern.

Si Jiamo, upon receiving her message, saw the distant four words. She also recalled that even though the two of them had been in an underground relationship for so many years, the other party always seemed indifferent whenever she had a scandal, as if she really had no feelings for herself anymore.

Thinking of this, Si Jiamo’s expression turned somewhat ugly. She pursed her lips: [Who cares about you? I only care about who will pay the money if you die.

She didn’t mean to talk to Chi Jinqing like this, but the other party always managed to find exactly what made her angry, hitting all her accurate pressure points.

Chi Jinqing: “…”

Had seven-years-later Si Jiamo’s personality become so… unpredictable?

The second person’s message was somewhat unexpected for Chi Jinqing, as it was from Si Jiamo’ manager, Su Yunhui. The other party also inquired about her condition.

She initially thought Si Jiamo had asked her to come and ask, but then she remembered that Si Jingmo had already asked her, so it was impossible for the manager to come again. So, what exactly happened here?

Could the other party think her acting skills were too good and wanted to poach her?

But the next text message left her confused.

Get a good rest. You don’t need to come during your recovery period.

Chi Jinqing held her phone, feeling like she had touched upon something strange: “?”

Before she could reply, the third person’s message arrived.

How is your body? I’m currently on a concert tour and can’t come back to see you for the time being. Are you okay? Tell my assistant if you need anything, and she will bring it to you.

This is…

Zhuge Wei?

Looking at the name displayed on the message, Chi Jinqing hesitated.

During her recovery period, Qin Song brought many lists and photos, asking her to memorize the names and the dramas and songs they had appeared in. She was not the twenty-six-year-old Chi Jinqing now and didn’t know how to adapt.

During this time, Qin Song had already understood what eighteen-year-old Chi Jinqing was like. She felt that letting the current Chi Jinqing out might be very troublesome, but there was no choice; this exposure opportunity was very important to Chi Jinqing.

Even if problems might arise, she had to let Chi Jinqing go out and show her face.
