Chapter 86: Have We Met Before?

In this situation, a person is unfamiliar with everything around them, even who they are. They feel helpless.

“Relax. Don’t think too much. It’s not a serious problem. To put it another way, even if it doesn’t get better, you’re still a normal person. You just have to get used to everything around you again. It won’t have a big impact on your future life.”

It wasn’t that Jiang Nian didn’t want to give him a definite answer. It’s just that the human body is complex. During treatment, no one knows what might happen.

Song Yanbai said, “Then I’ll leave it to you, Dr. Jiang.”

“You’re welcome. It’s my duty.”

Song Yanbai didn’t know what he was like before, but looking at the female doctor in front of him, his anxiety about his amnesia suddenly calmed down.

Since he woke up, everyone who knew about his amnesia had shown some degree of panic in front of him. Coupled with their urgency, he felt that his amnesia would have a big impact.

So, he tried desperately to remember, but it only gave him a headache and yielded nothing. It made him feel even worse.

This female doctor was different.

From beginning to end, her expression didn’t change at all. Her gaze remained calm, as if his little problem wasn’t a big deal.

“By the way, have I… met you before?”

The faint scent of medicine not only made him feel comfortable, but it also gave him a feeling that he had smelled this scent before.

Ye Zhiqiu laughed from the side. “When you were injured the other day, my teacher rescued you from the mountain. My teacher performed your surgery. You could say that your life was saved by my teacher. Later, Director Qi insisted that our medical environment was too poor, so he insisted on taking you away. Didn’t they tell you at the city hospital?”

Song Yanbai was shocked. His relaxed expression turned into confusion.

Jiang Nian’s mind raced. “Did Old Qi tell you that he saved you?”

Song Yanbai didn’t say anything, but the matter was clear.

Ye Zhiqiu was indignant. “What? He’s the hospital director. Even though he paid for your medical expenses, my teacher went to so much trouble to rescue you from the mountain. How dare he take credit for it?”

“Maybe there’s a misunderstanding… but I still want to thank you two comrades for saving my life.”

Reason told him not to trust people easily, but he already had an answer in his heart.

Director Qi didn’t seem like the kind of person who would take credit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent him back here. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. Once his memory returned, everything would be clear.

When they went outside, Ye Zhiqiu still couldn’t understand. “Master, do you think Director Qi did it on purpose? If he wanted to take credit, what kind of person would he have to be?”

“We’re here to heal people, not investigate cases. Just do your duty. Don’t get involved in other things.”

Jiang Nian didn’t think Director Qi was trying to take credit. Although the old man was annoying, he had a strong sense of justice.

If he really wanted to take credit, he wouldn’t have sent the man back to her.

Besides, he was a veteran who had been on the battlefield. He had already achieved a lot. He wasn’t a young man who would act impulsively. There was no need to do something that would be exposed and was so shameless.

Jiang Nian was young in terms of her physical age, but Ye Zhiqiu was young in both her mental and physical age. The biggest characteristic of young people is that they get angry easily when they see injustice.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Er knew about this.

Jiang Nian said, “You’ve finished everything you need to do, right?”

The two of them immediately hung their heads and went to their respective positions.

Because of the limited conditions, the stove still had to be used to boil medicine for the patient in the house. After getting Jiang Nian’s permission, they decided to roast a whole sheep that night.

Zhang Er found a smooth, sturdy stick and skewered the whole sheep. He also dug a pit in the backyard to build a fire and placed the whole sheep on top of the pit.

As time passed, the aroma gradually spread, attracting nearby children. They all huddled outside the gate, afraid to come in.

Yan Jin and Li Rui came together. Seeing the children gathered at the gate, Yan Jin frowned. “What are you all doing here?”

A bold child hesitated and pointed. “Director Yan, it smells so good inside.”

Yan Jin, of course, smelled the strong aroma. He sighed and said, “Go away. Go play somewhere else. We’ll start casting nets to catch fish in a few days. You’ll all be able to eat meat then.”

“Oh…”

The children were quite receptive to this. When they heard that they would be able to eat meat in a few days, they all obediently dispersed.

They didn’t know that they wouldn’t be able to eat a single bite of meat until New Year’s Eve.

With the children out of the way, the two of them went inside.

Everyone was in the backyard roasting mutton. Even Jiang Nian was sitting on the side, bathed in the glow of the fire.

The warm, yellow light illuminated her face, adding a touch of charm to her lazy expression.

Li Rui’s mouth was watering. He rubbed his hands and squatted by the fire pit, roasting. “You guys are so bold. The smell attracted a bunch of kids to the gate. Aren’t you afraid they’ll go back and gossip?”

Jiang Nian said lazily, “You said it yourself. It’s gossip.”

First impressions are important in human interactions.

This wasn’t the first time this had happened to her. If she had given people the impression that she was frugal from the beginning, every time she ate meat, people would talk about it for a long time.

Her situation now was different from when she first arrived. After all, she had been here for so long and had a bit of a foundation. Even if she made some mistakes, most people would be tolerant because of her medical skills.

This nonchalant attitude made Li Rui give her a thumbs-up.

People with skills have the right to be arrogant.

Their interaction was harmonious and lighthearted, making Yan Jin feel a little envious.

But he wasn’t as carefree as Li Rui. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so straightforward at the beginning.

Anyone who has roasted by a fire knows that it’s easy to get lazy and not want to move.

But Yan Jin was the director, so Jiang Nian had to stand up. “Director Yan, what brings you here? Is there something you need?”

Yan Jin smiled. “Nothing. I just came to see how Old Song is doing. You guys roast your meat. Don’t mind me.”

He said this and walked forward, feeling a little annoyed.

Why was his mouth so clumsy? He hadn’t noticed it before.

But if he stayed, what would he say?

He could hear their laughter behind him. It was something he longed for, but he couldn’t join in.

Li Rui’s expression was a mix of excitement and anxiety. He was happy, but he was also worried.

He didn’t say anything, and Jiang Nian pretended not to notice.

Yan Jin went to the ward. Song Yanbai could only lie in bed. He wasn’t sleepy now. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, looking a little vacant.
