"Ah~~ Auntie, hello! Is there something we need to go out for? I just woke up, and my head hurts when I think too much. Please don't disturb him!" Ding Zhengnan said somewhat incoherently, blocking the way of the aunt and the people behind her as she walked outside.
"My girl, what are you doing?" The aunt was confused by her actions and seemed a bit displeased.
Ding Zhengnan was already flustered, her tongue stumbling over the words as she blurted out the thoughts that had just popped into her head. "Actually, he is my boyfriend. We were having some conflicts before, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."
As she acted, the girl surprisingly got a bit emotional and started to sob. Perhaps it was because she was overwhelmed by so many things happening, her mood was terrible, and she had accumulated a lot of negative emotions. With the floodgates opened, she began to cry, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"Girl, girl, don't cry," the aunt said upon seeing her cry so "sincerely." She couldn't help but believe her. If she were trying to avoid compensation, she wouldn't be acting this way. Throughout the medical expenses, this girl hadn't even blinked; she didn't seem like someone short on money, especially with that phone in her hand.
"Auntie, actually he wanted to break up with me before, but after hitting his head, he forgot a lot of things. Can you help me cover this up? It was an accident..."
The aunt seemed to empathize and nodded in agreement. "I can help with this, girl. Since you still care about him, you need to get along well in the future. If nothing changes, you'll end up breaking up sooner or later!"
Ding Zhengnan immediately nodded vigorously, tears turning into smiles as she grasped the aunt's hands and shook them excitedly. "Thank you so much! I will change!"
...
After waking up, Jiang Yizhou suddenly realized he couldn't do anything at all. Just thinking made his head hurt. He wanted to contact Sun Yuliang, the owner of the Training Class, but this was a hospital room—where could he find a phone?
In the end, he simply gave up and lay on the hospital bed without wanting to think or do anything. After all, it was beyond his control; it was normal for communication to be inconvenient in this era. Even if he needed to take leave for an emergency, it would be too late now; it wouldn't be unreasonable to make up for it later.
"Tap tap tap..." Hearing footsteps getting closer, Jiang Yizhou forced his eyes open and saw the kind Ning Jie walk in with an aunt.
"No need to get up; just sit tight and rest well!" Ding Zhengnan said unexpectedly gently, leaving Jiang Yizhou a bit taken aback. Was this person really that kind-hearted? She was so enthusiastic—not only did she cover his expenses but also took care of him so attentively. It seemed either there was some scheme or she truly was a saintly figure without any ulterior motives.
"It's okay; I haven't thanked you yet!" Jiang Yizhou sat up halfway from the bed and expressed his gratitude. Indeed, there seemed to be more good people in this era than in the future. Thinking about those cold-hearted events from the future compared to the good people he encountered here made him feel even more integrated into this time period.
"Hey, don't make such a fuss. This girl is truly a good girl; cherish her well!" The aunt's words seemed to carry a hidden meaning. Jiang Yizhou felt as if he were Truman, experiencing a sense of déjà vu as if he were being manipulated. Was it just an illusion?
Could it be that he hadn't actually traveled through time but was instead placed in a massive film set and had undergone plastic surgery?
No, the memories in his head couldn't be fabricated! Jiang Yizhou finally thought of something that proved he had indeed traveled through time, dispelling the earlier delusion.
"Ah, I almost forgot; I haven't bought the vegetables yet. You two, I won't disturb you any longer!" The aunt hurriedly left after saying this.
The situation became somewhat awkward afterward, with Jiang Yizhou not wanting to speak and Ding Zhengnan too afraid to talk, worried about revealing something.
Suddenly, a familiar ringtone echoed—the classic Nokia ringtone—coming from the girl's handbag.
Ding Zhengnan took out his phone and answered the call. On the other end was a loud voice that made Jiang Yizhou feel like his ears were vibrating. "Ding Zhengnan, Dad has already found out everything; it's fine as long as you pay for the medical expenses. Since that guy let you ride his bicycle, he can't explain himself either... Hello? Hello? Daughter, are you there? Ding Zhengnan?"
Ding Zhengnan wanted to slap himself; he forced a smile that looked worse than crying at Jiang Yizhou and said, "I'll step outside for a moment."
"Dad, why are you shouting so loudly? It's not like I can't hear you!" The girl walked into the hallway and sounded annoyed.
"Isn't it because you always complained about me talking too much when I called before? Why are you suddenly complaining about me being loud now?"
Ding Zhengnan anxiously explained, "No, I was next to that guy I bumped into just now. He seems to have short-term amnesia and doesn't remember what happened during that time..."
"So you thought you'd just cover it up and play the good guy?" In an office on one of the floors of a building, Ding Dapeng immediately guessed his daughter's thoughts. "Ding Zhengnan, haven't you always insisted on justice? Why are you trying to hide things when it comes to yourself? Do you still have the face to criticize what your dad did? You knocked someone down; it wasn't intentional. What's so bad about admitting it? Just pay up!"
"But well done; that's my style!"
"Who has your style? I'm just... I'm just..." The girl was getting increasingly frustrated.
Ding Dapeng was calm and composed, knowing that his daughter loved to meddle in affairs and had various grievances, especially since his own hands were not clean. Although it hadn't reached the point where his daughter hated him, there was still some distance between them.
"Alright, alright, you can handle things as you see fit. Just don't come to me with demands that you can't fulfill!"
He pressed the hang-up button forcefully. Ding Zhengnan was also caught in a dilemma about whether to inform that guy.
In the end, she chose to give up or tacitly accepted her current actions; it was the easiest method and also the most irresponsible one.
Seeing the girl come back, Jiang Yizhou extended his hand. "Can you lend me your phone for a moment? I need to call my boss and ask for a leave."
Ding Zhengnan seemed to forget those matters, feeling somewhat guilty yet relieved as she handed her phone to Jiang Yizhou. "What do you do? Why are you working on the weekend?"
"To be honest, I'm a training teacher at a Training Class. The weekends are the busiest since most of the students are working professionals. They usually only have time on weekday evenings and weekends. I guess I'm going to get scolded badly this time!" Jiang Yizhou only complained about the working hours of this job.
"Hello, Brother Sun..."
"Jiang," Sun Yuliang had just arrived at the office when he answered the phone. Recognizing Jiang Yizhou's voice, he immediately became stern. "Where have you been? Don't you check the time? It's almost ten o'clock! Luckily, there weren't many people in the morning. Speak quickly; I'm busy here!"
