Chapter 1728 1728: Brilliantly Lit Night
Bai Ling walked over and took Ling Zhenfei from Lin Yi's hands, saying to Lin Yi, "Leave it to me."
Lin Yi glanced at Ling Zhenfei and saw that Ling Yi's expression wasn't pleasant, but there was no way to go back on their words now.
"Take care, Boss Ling. With Miss Bai Ling looking after you, there shouldn't be any problems. I'll head out now."
After saying that, Lin Yi left swiftly, as if the alcohol had instantly worn off.
The Provincial City in the evening was brightly lit, but since it was only early spring, it was still somewhat chilly.
The Provincial City favored planting willow trees, and new buds had already thickened on the branches lining the roads, seemingly announcing the arrival of spring.
Ling Zhenfei and Bai Ling stood under a willow tree. Ling Zhenfei didn't know what to say, and Bai Ling didn't know what to ask.
There were certainly many things between them.
After a long time, Bai Ling finally asked, "Don't tell me we don't know each other anymore. I want to know what really happened."
Ling Zhenfei said, "What do you want to know?"
Bai Ling said, "In my heart, I remember someone, yet I can't recall anything. But it feels like shadows of him are everywhere around me.
I go online, I stream, and all the comments mention your name. I refuse to believe that we have nothing to do with each other. What he said just now also indicates that we knew each other before.
But what exactly happened that made me forget everything, that made you insist we don't know each other? What really happened?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Isn't it good this way? You have brotherly love and a good life. You can live very well. Why do you have to know those things?"
Bai Ling grew angrier, "Of course I want to know, because I am a normal person. I'm curious why certain things clearly happened, but I remember nothing.
I even went to see a doctor, and the doctor said there's nothing wrong with me. That means I'm not sick, not having dementia. So why don't I remember?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I erased your memory. Does that make sense to you?"
Bai Ling's eyes grew more confused, "You erased it? Why did you erase my memory? On what grounds?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Firstly, you agreed to it. If you didn't agree, no one would have erased your memory."
Bai Ling asked, "Why? What was I thinking that I would allow you to erase everything that had happened to me?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "You're still yourself. At that time, you agreed to erase your memory. It was the best way to ease your pain. You, as well as your two brothers, agreed."
Bai Ling couldn't comprehend and asked, "Can you explain why I erased my memory? Does this have to do with you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I advise you not to ask. You'll only add to your worries."
Bai Ling said, "No, I need to ask. Tell me, what happened? Why did I have to do this?"
Ling Zhenfei contemplated how to explain this to Bai Ling. Whether to deceive her or tell her the truth.
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's very simple. You were dating someone at that time, and that man was a scumbag, truly reprehensible. You were in a lot of pain.
Your two brothers didn't want you to suffer endlessly, so they approached me to help you undergo a memory-erasing procedure, so you wouldn't remember that person."
Bai Ling was somewhat skeptical, "Really? How could such a thing be?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Whether you believe it or not, that's what happened."
What Ling Zhenfei said was indeed factual, except he didn't mention that the scumbag in the story was himself.
Now, no matter how much he liked Bai Ling, he couldn't show it.
Bai Ling said, "So, there's nothing between us?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed lightly, "Between us, you're the patient, and I'm the doctor. It's that simple."
Bai Ling said, "Do you think I'm a fool? That guy just now immediately called out my name and said those things. We couldn't possibly not know each other."
Ling Zhenfei felt frustrated. It was all Lin Yi's fault for stirring up trouble in what was an otherwise simple issue, leading to this outcome.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Back then, erasing memories was very well-known, so naturally, he knew your name. Don't misunderstand anything else, he was just talking nonsense, he loves joking around."
Bai Ling was still somewhat disbelieving, "Do you know how much I'm suffering now? Why did I agree to you erasing my memory back then? Even if that scumbag was terrible, it was still part of my memories.
I'm like a person who has lost her heartbeat, feeling like I'm about to lose everything."
Ling Zhenfei said, "You're overly obsessed with this. Do something else. You like traveling, then travel, Paris, Barcelona, Moergawa, anywhere's fine. Your brothers are wealthy, after all.
Start fresh, find someone you like, or someone who loves you; isn't that a good life? Why dwell on a failed relationship from the past?"
Bai Ling said, "No, I can't do it. Do you have any way to restore my memory?"
Ling Zhenfei shook his head, "Sorry, I have no way. It's getting late, you should go back."
After saying this, Ling Zhenfei walked forward, alone.
But then Bai Ling chased up, "Do you really have no way? I'm begging you, you're the Divine Doctor."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I really have no way."
Bai Ling stood there, as if struck by lightning, but there was nothing Ling Zhenfei could do, as he walked toward the Olympic Village.
In the distance, though the sky was dark, a mass of clouds approached, overwhelmingly suggesting a change in weather.
This morning's news also informed Ling Zhenfei that most areas in the north would experience spring rain, which was probably coming soon.
After walking for quite some distance, Ling Zhenfei felt uneasy leaving Bai Ling alone on such a dark night. She was a girl, a beautiful one at that, how could he not be worried?
Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei quietly returned to follow her.
Then he discovered Bai Ling was walking back without any intention of taking a taxi.
Ling Zhenfei could only follow at a distance.
Bai Ling entered a supermarket and bought a large bag of canned beer.
Then she walked forward while drinking beer, tossing the empty cans onto the roadside once done.
It seemed that this matter had truly impacted Bai Ling greatly, at least now she appeared despondent, drinking beer right on the street.
If a big man were drinking beer in the streets, at most he'd get drunk, and someone might steal his wallet or phone, but the consequences for a beautiful woman getting drunk were manifold.
Ling Zhenfei felt extremely frustrated, yet he couldn't just approach her now and tell Bai Ling to quickly head home because it wasn't safe here.
