Amnesia

After having their lunch in silence, Gu Huan and Si Ban, both sat on the sofa with their mind somewhere else. The silence was disturbed by someone's phone, which was Gu Huan, looking at the caller he sighed and said to Si Ban, "I need to receive this." and excused himself.

After coming at the end of the corridor he answered the call.

"Grandpa." he greeted.

"You brat, where are you?"

"Grandpa, what's wrong you were coming today why haven't you arrived yet?" He changed the topic and choose not to answer his grandpa's question.

As expected the old man forgot his question and charged towards Gu Huan with his furious words.

"You remembered, what a surprise! You brat, I'm still stuck here, I won't be coming, and you didn't even call me and asked about my delay. Don't tell me you forgot about your old man?"

"Grandpa, for once can you be less dramatic, please. I'm sorry, I didn't ring you, because I didn't see the time and when I did, you called me." Gu Huan patiently explained.

The furious old man, calmed down a little but, still acted as if he is mad.

"All are your excuses, you don't care about this old man of yours."

Gu Huan chuckled, "Okay, when you come back your favorite meat ball will be ready."

"Okay, this time I'll leave you." After taking for a while, they hanged up, but Gu Huan stood near the window and gazed at the sky, he sighed for a thousand time from last night.

'ZouMi wake up.' Calming himself down, after a while, he walked towards the ward. When he came in his eyes widened, Si Ban on the right side of the bed holding ZouMi, while the nurse injecting the syringe.

Gu Huan walked towards the bed with big steps pushed Si Ban aside and hold the shoulder of still struggling ZouMi and pressed her down.

"If you move, I'll call Ah'ji and say you're here. Do you want me to do this?" ZouMi who was struggling, when listen to the husky deep strong voice all her nerves clam down, and she moved her head to look at him.

"Why are you here?" Her voice hoarse.

"That's none of your business, if you don't want me, to call Ah'ji or worst your brothers, then just lay down and don't move. Trust me, you should never try me." This was the first time someone talked to ZouMi with this tone, it was not like a challenge, but more like a warning.

"Do you think, I'll let you off easily?"

"What can you do after I call them? After that they'll do what they have to, and you won't have time to let them go. I don't have anything to lose nor to win, but you've a lot to lose."

After the warning, ZouMi stopped struggling and lied on the bed sincerely. This shocked not only Si Ban, but also the nurse and doctor at the door, to the core. They were treating her from four years, but she won't listen to anyone and this time....

"Good girl." Gu Huan said and patted her head, ZouMi confusingly looked at him and blinked. Before she could say anything, the doctors came up for the check up and Gu Huan made space for them.

After the check up the nurse brought a bowl of porridge and soup. Gu Huan said her to leave, he adjusted her bed and helped her to sit up, and he sat at the corner of the bed with the bowl of porridge in his hand. He scooped up a spoon full, blow it a little and placed the spoon near her lips. His eyes gesturing her to open her mouth, but she sat like a statue looking at him.

"Say Aahh." He said, ZouMi dumbfounded looked at him, who was treating her like a kid.

"I really want to be good to you, but you're testing my patience and to be honest, it's a bad idea. Eat or else, I'll call, Ah'ji." Gu Huan, warned her again.

As expected ZouMi opened her mouth and ate silently. Si Ban, who was still in shock from the first blow, couldn't handle the second blow and sat on the couch nearby and looked at ZouMi in disbelieve.

'When did this tigress, oh no, no, devil. Yes, devil, obeyed anyone? When? How? Hell, what is this guy? Oh my God, she finished the whole bowl?' Si Ban kept talking in his mind.

Gu Huan, made her drink some water and called the nurse to clean up.

"You want more?" ZouMi moved her head left to right, showing a sign of, no.

After feeding her, Gu Huan adjust the quilt not saying a word. ZouMi followed his every move without uttering a word.

"Is it comfortable?" Gu Huan asked without raising his head. He could feel her curious eyes glued on him, but he acted as if he didn't feel anything.

Si Ban, recovered from his shock and lifted his leg towards the door and left. After adjusting the quilt, Gu Huan sat on the stool at the bedside playing with his phone.

ZouMi just looked at him saying nothing, she remembered her headaches from last week were severe, and while talking to him, she felt her brain cells burst and after that everything went blank.

After a long while, ZouMi opened her mouth and asked in low voice, "You brought me here?"

"What do you think?" He lifted his head to made contact with her curious eyes.

"Then why are you still here?"

"What do you think?" Instead of answer her question he asked her.

"Why are you doing this? Do you want something from me?"

Gu Huan raised his brow and said, "What can you give me?"

"How do I know what do you want from me?"

"Because, you're the one thinking that I want something from you. So, I want to know what are you thinking."

"Anyone, who helped me, always needed something or the other from me. But, what do you need?" Her expressionless face and emotionless words, pricked his heart.

'Who hurt you so deep that, you don't think you deserve to be treated well?'

"After fainting, did you get amnesia?"
