Being friends

Nan Zhizhi and Ye Qingze gave each other a worried look.

They could understand what Pei Qinshan must be going through. This was a difficult period for him. This was the worst tragedy that no one expected to hit their lives. Pei Xingcheng's memory loss was one of the most shocking factors in this whole ordeal.

Nan Zhizhi sighed and got up from the chair. She approached Pei Qinshan and placed her hand on his shoulder. Pei Qinshan was not only Pei Xingcheng's elder brother but even her and Ye Qingze's elder brother. She couldn't bear to see him in such a broken and helpless state.

"Brother Pei, don't worry. Everything will be fine," she assured him.

Pei Qinshan turned around, leaned to the wall for support, and sighed helplessly. "How will everything be okay, Zhizhi? Pei Xingcheng's memory loss... how? Why? Why did this happen to him? What am I going to tell her?"

"He had forgotten everything that happened to him in the past three years. He has forgotten all about her. What am I going to tell him?"

Nan Zhizhi was speechless.

Even she didn't know how to handle this situation or what to say to comfort her elder brother. They had already lost one person in that terrible accident, and just when they were happy to see that Pei Xingcheng was alive and well, they realized something terrible - Pei Xingcheng's memory loss.

He seemed to have forgotten the only person whom he loved dearly in the past three years.

"Brother Pei, everything will be fine... It has to be," she comforted softly.

Pei Qinshan pursed his lips slowly.

At this moment, the door opened and the doctor came out of the room. At once, Pei Qinshan was by the doctor's side and began to fire questions one after the other. "Doctor Si, how is my brother? Is everything okay? Why did he faint? And, why doesn't he seem to remember what happened in the last three years and so on."

Doctor Si looked at the worried man. "Mr. Pei, your younger brother is fine and there is nothing wrong with his body. He's resting now but we need to do a few more tests. As for memory loss, I think it's just a partial memory loss as for the rest, I will only be able to say something once I question Young Master Pei once he wakes up."

"Okay, Doctor Si."

After the doctor left, Pei Qinshan entered the ward, sat down next to his unconscious brother, and held his hand. "I don't know what should I do Xingcheng.... what should I say to you... I hope when you wake up, you remember everything."

Suddenly, Ye Qingze asked a question.

"Brother Pei, what does the police say? Did they find something?"

Pei Qinshan shook his head slightly. "No. They are still looking into it. That driver is already dead as for his family, there is just a little sick girl with her mother. They have already been compensated."

"What about the CCTV footage?"

"Weirdly, Unavailable," Pei Qinshan answered.

Hearing this, Nan Zhizhi couldn't help but ask. "Why is it weird?"

Pei Qinshan turned to look at her. "Because the only footage that is missing is of Pei Xingcheng's accident. For now, it seems like a terrible accident but there is a witness who says that the truck driver purposely crashed with Xingcheng's car. We don't know whether it is true or false and hence, I wanted to hear it from Xingcheng personally but I wonder if it's even possible now..."

"Brother Pei, don't be disheartened," Nan Zhizhi reassured him again. "I am pretty sure that he will remember everything. How can he not? She was his life...."

"I hope so...."

Half an hour later, Pei Xingcheng slowly recovered his senses. He squinted his eyes, staring at the big white light above him. Slowly, one by one all the memories began to flash in his mind and he began to remember how he woke up, met a beautiful ghost, got to know that Nan Zhizhi was pregnant and her husband turned out to be one of the worst men in this world, his biggest enemy.

He groaned unhappily and covered his eyes with his uninjured hand.

Hearing his voice, Pei Qinshan looked at him. "Xingcheng, you are awake?!"

"Why am I awake?" Pei Xingcheng muttered under his breath. "Elder brother, is it really true? Did she really got married? Please, just tell me that all of it is just one terrible nightmare."

Before Pei Qinshan could reply, Nan Zhizhi coughed to make her presence known and spoke up. "Xingcheng, I am here. You can talk to me about it"

"Go away," Pei Xingcheng refused to look at her. "I don't want to talk to you."

"Why? Is it because I got married?" she asked.

He snorted coldly. "Ofcourse. You could have married anyone in this world, why does it have to be him? What is wrong with you? How could you get married to this annoying guy? You know, he's my number one enemy. I hate him, you hate him, so why did you marry him?"

"Zhizhi, be honest. Did this guy force you to marry him or something?"

Hearing that, Nan Zhizhi laughed out loud. "So, you are angry with me not because I got married but because I married your biggest enemy?"

Pei Xingcheng hummed.

A smile flashed in Nan Zhizhi's eyes and she walked towards the bed. Seeing this, Ye Qingze quickly pulled up a chair and put it beside the bed so that his pregnant wife could sit down on it. Nan Zhizhi thanked him with a smile.

Pei Xingcheng saw their interaction and noticed the genuine care in Ye Qingze's eyes, he snorted in his heart.

At least, this annoying man knows how to care about his wife.

After Nan Zhizhi sat down next to Pei Qinshan, she looked at the injured man on the bed. "Xingcheng, look at me."

Pei Xingchneg did. "What?"

"Qingze's a changed man now. Though he can be quite annoying sometimes, he loves me a lot. He keeps me happy and that's enough for me. He's no longer that young, wild, arrogant, annoying man that used to fight with you and bully me at every turn."

Suddenly, she gave him a mischievous smile and dropped a bomb. "Also you don't remember, but you both are friends now."

"What?!!!"

She nodded. "You both are friends now."

Pei Xingcheng: "...." (Is this nightmare never going to end?)
