My Old Gong Has Amnesia

Outside the window is a vast expanse of white snow, and the plants planted in the yard are covered with snow, with low-bending branches.Chris stood outside the glass window with his hands in his pockets, looking in from time to time.

Bernard put down the glasses cloth in his hand, without waiting for Gongyue's answer, he spoke on his own.

"I think I know what you're asking. About 36 years ago, I was 28 years old and doing my Ph.D. at Prince University. My advisor, who was a genius in genes and genetics, hadn't By the age of 40, he had already become a pivotal figure in the academic world. I became his student, and it was a great honor to join the research institute where my supervisor was, and that’s when I met Youli.”

He looked at Gongyue, and it seemed that the girl appeared in front of his eyes, "She is eight years younger than me, but she takes the same course as me, she is very good, and the tutor likes her very much. After entering the institute, I and Youli is a partner, but it was also because only two of us were newcomers to the lab at that time, and they were all newbies. We didn’t dare to say much in front of those academic experts.”

"But Youli was smarter than me, and worked very hard. Three months later, she was transferred to be an assistant to her supervisor, and I was assigned to another teacher. I probably knew that she was doing special research with her teacher,"

Bernal looked at Miyakoshi whose expression didn't change when he entered the door, and seemed very relieved, "You and Youli are very similar when you were young, and she is too, no matter what can move her, of course, except your father ,"

Bernard didn't know what came to his mind, and sighed, "Once by accident, when I went to the laboratory to get materials at night, I heard Youli arguing with her tutor at the door. She is a person who is not easy to lose her temper." , I heard her so angry for the first time, she said that human beings are born, not made. I am deeply impressed by this sentence, because at that time, the instructor was studying a genetic improvement strategy, not dealing with diseases , but according to personal ideas and hobbies, to change people's eye color, hair color, finger length, and even preferences for things. When I first heard about it, I thought it was a very great project, but Later, I also had the same opinion as Youli—people are not mass-produced like an assembly line, and the birth of a person is random and specific, and each of us is different."

When hearing the words randomness and specificity, Ye Shanshan glanced at her fingers, each of which was in a specific proportion, even the growth arc of the nails was the same.

He still remembers that when he was young, because the nail of his ring finger was slightly different from the other nine fingers, a researcher at that time used tweezers to tear off the nail of his ring finger, and after injecting the drug, It took another month to grow into the appearance in the "setting".

Retracting her hand into her pocket, Ye Shanshan heard the old man continue,

"Later, I observed the mentor and Youli intentionally, and found that there was no difference from before. In many top-level conferences, the mentor would still bring Youli to go, and occasionally I would take me. Breaking, of course, this is the official reason. I heard from the teacher who led me that it was because the things the tutor researched at that time could not meet the requirements of the funder, so the injection of funds was stopped. I left the institute and changed Another year later, Youli got married, and she finally got a surname, I am very happy for her."

"I thought that I would never have anything to do with her again in my life, but after four years, she found me."

Hearing this, Gong Yue knew that what he wanted to know was surfacing.

"At that time, I was the chief of a small laboratory. She was pregnant, but she was more beautiful than before. Maybe she became a mother, which made her seem to have finally entered this mortal world. She paid a high salary, thinking Let me develop a drug with her. I agreed without asking anything, you know, I'm really not good at rejecting her."

As if talking about this made him a little embarrassed, Bernard took off his glasses and wiped them again.

"After that, the two of us spent more than half a month to make the medicine. No, it should be said to be a copy. She is very skilled, as if she has conceived it hundreds of times in her mind. I am equivalent to an assistant. Help her. When the drug was a little more than two-thirds completed, I left the project, probably for the sake of confidentiality, and Youli completed it all by herself."

Leaving out the middle things, Bernard looked at Gong Yue, "At the end of that year, you were born, and the Wall Street Journal announced on the headlines that the heir to the throne of the Gong family was born. I think Yuli should be happy, She takes you very seriously, and I can probably guess that Youli is an orphan, and it was your appearance that brought her into contact with this world."

Withdrawing his gaze from looking at Miyakoshi, Bernard stood up while supporting the armrest of the chair, his footsteps were wobbly,

"The car accident was very serious and almost killed me. Although I survived in the end, it left me with a bad sense of balance, and I always walked unsteadily. And forgetfulness is really tormenting, and many people are reluctant to forget. The memories are leaving my mind little by little."

He pointed to his temple, "This feeling is very powerless, my friends are slowly alienating me, because no one has the patience to get to know you again every once in a while, and you are destined to cultivate again. A friendship that will be forgotten."

Bernard brought Gongyue and Ye Shan into his study room, pulled out a wooden box from the bottom of a large cabinet with great effort, and scattered the dust on it.

He opened it carefully, and at the top was a very thick booklet, caressing the old cover, his eyes were extremely gentle,

"I said that I have forgotten the appearance of Youli, it is not false. I am always reviewing these memories over and over again, but I am almost forgetting her again, but fortunately, I have this booklet to help me keep it Memories you don't want to throw away."

Putting the booklet aside carefully, a kraft paper envelope was exposed underneath. Bernard explained, "I found this in my mailbox once. It was not signed, and there was a long string of numbers on it, a total of 81 digits. I don't know what it means, but I think it should be sent by Youli."

Saying that, he handed it to Gong Yue, "I think you will need this."

Gong Yue took it with both hands, "Thank you."

I am also grateful that in this world, there is still a person who persists in preserving the memory of his mother.

Putting everything back together, Bernard pushed the box back under the cabinet, as if to seal the memory.

When he came out of Bernard's house, Chris went to start the car first.

The cold wind howled and blew over, and neither of them spoke.

The soles of the shoes stepped on the thick snow, making a slight "creaking" sound, and the world was pure white, as if this road would never end.

After walking a few more steps, Ye Shanshan stopped suddenly, "Brother, tell me, Grandpa Bernard, did you also use that kind of medicine?"

Serious car accident, forgetfulness, the look in Gong Yue's eyes, and what Ye Shanshan said meant something, she didn't want to believe it after she finished speaking, but she had to admit that there was a great possibility.

At this moment, he felt as if his heart was tightly twisted together.

Gong Yue tightly clenched Ye Shanshan's hand, and put it in his pocket, "Well, it should be." This is much better than he expected, at least he won't die.

There are people he misses in this world, so he doesn't want to leave at all.

The snow fell again, and the footprints they left became blurred, as if the memories of the past would disappear little by little.

Without opening his mouth again, Ye Shanshan's fingers unconsciously pinched Gong Yue's palm, he felt very flustered, what happened that year was reappearing before their eyes bit by bit, but it brought panic.

That drug would give life, but it would keep taking away memory.

Bernard said his amnesia was getting worse and he could only remember things from a day or two.When the situation was better, he taught biology in the school in the town, but every once in a while, he would forget his colleagues, the names of the students, and even the way to the school.Later, he gave up his job and returned home. Because of his resume, he got a name in that school.

Waking up every day, the face is completely strange, there will be no sense of novelty, but a real panic.And this kind of panic will continue to appear in cycles.

Ye Shanshan stopped suddenly, stretched out her arms to hug Gong Yue, and tightened her hands with great force.He wanted to say something, but his throat hurt, as if being cut and sharpened by a blade, and he couldn't make any sound.He had no choice but to move himself closer to Gong Yue, to the ground even tighter.

Feeling the strength, Gong Yue raised his hand hesitantly, and also embraced Ye Shanshan, calling his name, "Xinshan."

"En." Ye Shanshan nodded, and managed to make a sound.

"Don't be afraid."

Ye Shanshan's eyes turned red instantly, he bit Gong Yue's clothes, held back the tears that were about to overflow, and then said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not afraid, I just feel bad." He straightened up and looked at Gong Yue. Yue, "Don't worry about me all the time,"

Don't worry about me at a time like this.

Knowing what he was thinking, Gong Yue stroked the corners of his reddened eyes with his fingertips, and slowed down his voice, "I'm not afraid, because of you."

Ye Xihan sniffed and nodded, "Well, even if you open your eyes every morning, you will forget about me," he smiled with difficulty,

"I will still tell you, my name is Ye Shanshan, you gave me this name, your name is Gong Yue, you are my favorite, favorite and most important person, I will help you remember everything clearly, You don't have to be afraid, don't panic—"

He couldn't continue, leaned on Gong Yue's shoulder again, relieved the pain in his heart, and said after a long time, "Don't be afraid, there is always a way, I am very powerful, there must be a way .”

"Well, dear," Gong Yue kissed Ye Shining's hair, and Gong Yue's eyes fell on the thick snow on the ground, "There will be a way."

※※※

The car drove very slowly, and several hours had passed by the time we arrived at the airport.

Ye Shanshan held a cup of hot coffee in his hand to keep warm, and the heater in the lounge was turned on very high, which made his face a little red.Inadvertently, he looked at the tarmac through the glass, his eyes fixed, he was a little strange, "Brother, look at that plane." Ye Shanshan carefully identified, "Is that the sixth uncle's special plane?"

Gong Yue, who was on the side, was using a tablet computer to handle work. He looked at where Ye Shining was pointing at, nodded after seeing clearly, "It belongs to Uncle Liu, but I only contacted him an hour ago. Uncle Six is ​​now in New York."

So it won't appear here.

"Could it be Gong Ji? Or the sixth aunt?" Ye Shanshan had only seen photos of these two people, because Gong Ji had suffered from a rare disease since birth, so he never appeared at family gatherings.

Gong Yue glanced at Chris, the other party understood, made a gesture and left.Half an hour later, Chris came back and stood behind Gong Yue,

"It's indeed Young Master Gong Ji. He said he was going to visit a famous doctor, and the sixth lady followed. Because Young Master Gong Ji was not feeling well, he made a stopover here."

For this reason, Gong Yue didn't say anything. Over the years, the sixth aunt has always been under a lot of mental pressure because of Gong Ji's illness, and it is not uncommon to find a doctor all over the world once or twice.

Ten minutes later, Gongyue's special plane was about to take off. When Ye Shanshan turned on the game console and was about to play Tetris, she turned her head and glanced out, and found that the special plane was still parked in place.

※※※

After returning to City B, Gong Yue did not go home with Ye Shanshan, but was directly sent by Chris to work in the Gong's Building, and Ye Shanshan was picked up by the driver at home.

After entering the door, just as Ye Shanshan took off her thick coat, she saw a fluffy white kitten walking slowly back and forth on the carpet.

He bent down and picked up the little thing, "I'm back, Liang Jingjing," he said and raised his hands, "Come on, hold it high!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Shanshan's smile froze at the corner of her mouth again.He held the kitten in his arms, stroked his fur, which felt so good to the touch, and murmured to himself in a low voice, "Although I knew before that there might be memory loss...but why am I so sad..."

Uncle Hawk brought hot milk and a small plate of biscuits, "Young Master Ye, the young master specially called to order you to eat more."

After thanking him, Ye Xingxing came back to his senses and sat lazily on a chair, wearing a white sweater with a black-edged v-neck. He put Jingjingjing on his lap, took a piece of biscuit, and handed it to the other party. Shaking in front of his face, he quickly retracted it and stuffed it into his mouth, his tone a little frightened, "Mine, I won't give it to you."

After chewing the biscuit, Ye Shanshan felt that it had no taste.

Not at all sweet.

After eating the milk and biscuits, feeling warmer, Ye Xingxing walked towards the greenhouse with Liang Jingjing in her arms.

He walked seriously step by step, thinking of Bernard, living alone, with no relatives, friends, or lover, and only one caregiver by his side—even after losing his memory one day, he suddenly found a stranger in his home, which made him feel scared.

Because I don't remember, even if I left a reminder saying that it was the nurse who took care of me, I still couldn't trust it.

Just like before Gong Yue lost his memory, even if he left that sentence, he would subconsciously suspect whether it was a huge conspiracy.

It's really hard.

Stepping into the greenhouse, looking at the lush green cabbage growing, Ye Shanshan finally felt better.He put Liang Jingjing in the vegetable field, then took out his phone and shook it, "Liang Jingjing, I'll take a picture for you!"

As he said that, he chose a good angle and took more than 20 photos in a row, and finally chose the three best-looking photos and posted them on Weibo, "The little cabbage has grown."

"——The old farmer Ye in city b is celebrating the harvest season. Due to the backlog of dishes, I am asking for help on Weibo. If you are interested, please like it!"

"—Hey, when did I get a kitten?"

"—The blogging with selfies is the real blogging, please do it again! Also, the recent blogging speed is too fast! I always feel like it’s a flashback!! I’m dreaming in the middle of the night because I’m out of the circle. I'm going to be so scared that I can't sleep!!"

"——Liang Jingjing is so cute and cute!!"

Ye Shanshan was instantly satisfied, found out all the comments that praised Jingjingjing, and replied one after another.

At this time, the large group of the official support club of Xingchen Building was frying pans.

"—Everyone agreed not to comment on Liang Jingjing!! You guys commented, what if my Shan is the same as before, and I haven't posted a Weibo for 5000 years!"

"——I can't help it, my master Ye's fancy cat is too cute, I really can't bear to let him down!! Most importantly, I replied to me in a flash!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Circle!! Take a screenshot as a souvenir!"

"—Silently add one! I can't bear to see me flashing disappointment, and it hurts to think about it! So I can't bear it anymore and don't need to bear it anymore, and Jingjingjing is really cute!"

After some discussion,

"——Since this is the case, they have broken the precept anyway, so let's judge it!"

So next, the volcanic eruption also had more than 2 comments. The point is, except for a few boasting cabbage, the rest are all colorful and cute.

Ye Shanshan, who was already mentally prepared and didn't have much hope, rubbed her eyes and twisted her face—to make sure she wasn't awake and dreaming, she tapped her phone on her lap— It's not like the phone got wet.

Looking at one after another, "Liangjingjing is the cutest in the world!" "My landlord Ye's cat is just different, and my heart is broken!" Such comments, Ye Shanshan squatted down, silently looked at Jingjingjing in the vegetable field, serious Di said, "Congratulations, Liang Jingjing, you are on fire."

Stretching out her hand to touch Jingjingjing's head, she accidentally touched some switch, Ye Shanshan heard her own voice again, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you!"
