Both men turn subconsciously . They see Xiang Mankuai . She has changed into a dress . A light fragrance trails her; her makeup has been reapplied . She’s definitely a lady .

Ling Hanyu recalls telling Han Qilu not to bring her along . The moment he spots Mankuai, Hanyu glares at Qilu .

Han Qilu is aware of Hanyu’s glare . He coldly stares back at Hanyu . “I didn’t bring her along . ”

When she gets close enough, she says, “I’m so glad I checked the GPS on my car . Otherwise, I wouldn’t have tracked you to the hospital . I was afraid i had to go to your residence . You forgot this . ”

Mankuai hands Han Qilu a bag of sunflower seeds . It’s her gift to him for escorting her home . He told her he’d have the seeds planted in the Han garden . But when Hanyu called, Qilu left them behind . Since cabs didn’t drive by where Mankuai lives, Han Qilu was offered one of her cars .

If she went to the Han residence, she knows Jiang Yuan would be there, and she knows she wouldn’t like to see her . But if his family ever welcomed her, she’d definitely want to visit .

Mankuai suspects Ling Hanyu knows she’s never been invited to the Han’s, and this annoys her even more . For her future, for her family’s sake, she was once made to give up her feelings for Han Qilu . Fate has brought them back together since being in the States, and now, she’s being selfish, wanting to save their relationship .

Perchance, she’s in love with Qilu, and has only considered what she wants . But she didn’t considers his [feelings] .

Han Qilu takes the bag without showing emotion . This might be his way of showing love .

“You could’ve waited till the next time we see each other . ” Han Qilu extends his arm to take the bag . He folds the pouch and shoves it down his pocket .

“I want you to plant it immediately . Remember, you have to do it yourself . ” Mankuai takes Qilu’s hand into hers like it’s natural . Then, she looks at Ling Hanyu . “Hanyu, are you unwell? Is that why you called him to the hospital?”

Ling Hanyu smiles, but the warmth doesn’t reach his eyes .

“I’m not injured, but Chuxia is . ” His eyes shift over to read Qilu’s face . “Courtesy of your push, she should be in a ward now . ”

“From the fall?” Mankuai moves . “I didn’t go to the hospital when I twisted my ankle . Is she that delicate?”

Frustrated, Ling Hanyu immediately says in anger, “The doctor said she got a concussion after hitting her head, so forced her to be examined in the hospital! She’s stronger than you . What would you do if your amnesiac boyfriend is stolen from under you?”

“Hanyu!” Qilu stops him soundly . “What are you saying?”

“Don’t think that what I’ve said is messed up, you’ll see soon enough . ” Ling Hanyu turns and walks into the hospital . “I told you what needs to be said . It’s your decision to see her or not . ”

Qilu and Mankuai watch Ling Hanyu disappear behind a set of elevator doors . Then, Mankuai says to Qilu, “Let’s have lunch . I know a good place nearby . ”

“I should go see An Chuxia,” Qilu says to Mankuai . “I should’ve known about the concussion . I misunderstood her . ”

“They’re just evaluating her for a concussion . They shouldn’t have the results yet, right?” She tugs on his shirt sleeve . “Return when the results are confirmed . Let’s have lunch first, then, you can buy her flowers . You don’t want to visit her empty-handed, right?”

Han Qilu is dumbfounded . “I thought you didn’t want me to see her?”

“She is your meimei . ” She says the word heavily before leading Han Qilu away from the hospital . She smiles brilliantly under the sun .

She’s not afraid of Han Qilu recovering his memories . Right now, they are making new ones . And when he gets his old memories back, he’ll surely realize they’re better suited as a couple .

An Chuxia is asleep in the ward .

Ling Hanyu is about to open the door when Lao Ling opens it from inside . After his initial shock, the old man shoos him away before exiting the room and closing the door behind him .

“The doctor recommended her to rest, and since she’s asleep, let’s not bother her . ” Lao Ling leads Hanyu away .

The scent of disinfectant permeates in the air . An Chuxia’s attending physician sees Lao Ling and Hanyu . He stands up quickly and greets them .

“She is diagnosed with a slight concussion . She said she fell, right?” The doctor extends a pointer and points at a spot on the CT film . “There’s a mild congestion and edema in this area where she hit her head . Our course of action is to inject her with medicine, then, take daily CT scans . ”

“Does that mean it’s not serious?” Ling Hanyu asks eagerly . “How long will it take? Is it necessary for her to remain hospitalized?”

The doctor replies with a smile . “It’s not serious . She should be fine in two weeks . But I suggest she remains in the hospital . If the intracranial hematoma becomes more serious, it might lead to more dire consequences . ”

“We will comply, doctor . ” Lao Ling smiles and gets up from his seat . “Treat her well . ”

“Definitely . ” The doctor politely smiles .

Ling Hanyu unconsciously stares at the elevator doors from the doctor’s office . Lao Ling realizes his grandson’s waiting for Han Qilu . Alas, Qilu doesn’t appear .

“Hanyu . ” Lao Ling smiles down on his grandson . “Why don’t you seize the moment? You know, there is no better time than the present . ”

Ling Hanyu knows what opportunity his grandfather is referring to: Qilu may never recover his memories . It’s also a great opportunity to stay by An Chuxia . And if he played his cards right, she might choose to stay with him, too .

But he knows if she stays with him, she’ll never be truly happy .

“I won’t take another man’s woman . ” Ling Hanyu remains stalwart, his voice, clear .

“It’s right not to grab another brother’s woman,” Lao Ling agrees, looking proudly at Xiao Hanyu . “But this time is different . You’re not taking his woman if Han Qilu doesn’t claim her . ”

It is a grand opportunity for An Chuxia to stay with him, but his conscience won’t allow him to rationalize .

It’s not that Qilu has let her go, he just forgot her temporarily . What he has to do is help Qilu fall in love with her again . But if they’re truly not meant to be together again, and Qilu insists on being with Mankuai, then, he’ll make sure Chuxia will never be alone .

Lao Ling looks into Ling Hanyu’s eyes, but he decides not to say anything . Children have their own way of dealing with their problems . But as an old man, he will give his support whenever needed . He can stretch out his hand far enough without truly intervening .

Otherwise, his actions would be counterproductive .

The old man stands up and speaks softly, “We haven’t dined out together in quite some time . It’s your turn to treat me . ”

Shouldn’t grandchildren treat the elders?

Ling Hanyu stands up after realizing his grandfather is speaking in circles . “Old man, I didn’t bring any money with me today . ”

Kuni, who’s in uniform, stands erect next to An Chuxia’s door, causing people to look at her doorway . Hanyu quickly catches up with his grandfather’s pace . He walks like he’s still spritely .

As they enter the elevator, Hanyu explains, “I left early, and except for my mobile, I really didn’t bring anything . ”

Lao Ling calmly puts his hands behind his back as the doors close . When they exit the elevator, he says, “Then, we’ll eat like kings, and you’ll have to cover for me . ”

Cover… Ling Hanyu is full of black lines . Only this time, he just wishes he would be put out of his misery .

“Old man! I’m not joking! I really didn’t bring my wallet!” Ling Hanyu is really anxious since his grandfather has no plans of paying .

In A City, wealthy people don’t use bank cards because it’s not expected of them! But smaller restaurants don’t necessarily know them, let alone, his grandfather . If they don’t get recognized, Hanyu truly can’t afford the meal!

“I’m not listening to you!” Lao Ling stops and stares at Hanyu seriously . “Today, grandfather is teaching you a lesson in being a man: sometimes, you have to be cheeky!”

“If we don’t get recognized, we’ll send Kuni to pay for it . ”

They enter a medium- sized restaurant . Since it’s early, there aren’t that many customers . Lao Ling approaches the counter . “Can we eat here for free?”

Ling Hanyu wishes for a hole to hide in, but with his grandfather present, it would be truly embarrassing if they were turned away .

The server gives them a once-over . They both wear designer outfits, people who seem to have money to spend . The rich, nowadays, are frugal-conscious . He thinks for a moment before smiling at them . “Yes, you may eat here for free . Seat for two?”

Another waiter ushers them in from the counter . “You may sit here . Here’s the menu . ”
