h4Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Not Simple/h4

Professor Zhang also hoped Ji Yu wouldn’t dwell too much on this matter.

"This student of mine does have a tendency to overthink things sometimes. Please don’t be too fixated on this issue. I really hope the two of you can have a good oue."

He had wanted to say this to Ji Yu earlier, but seeing her current demeanor, he estimated it would still be somewhat difficult.

"Professor Zhang, I understand how much you care for your student, but what he did this time was truly too much. I don’t even know where to begin looking for my lost memories. Tell me, how am I supposed to forgive him?"

She genuinely cared deeply about this matter.

But for Ji Yu to endure up to this point was already remarkable. Asking her to simplyugh it off and let bygones be bygones would indeed be too much to ask.

"I need a proper rest now. As for this issue, let’s discuss it another time. Truthfully, I’m also curious how he manages to mess things up so consistently every single time."

Ji Yu only wanted to live as a normal person. If he insisted on causing trouble, then this would be the natural oue.

Hearing this, Professor Zhang roughly understood Ji Yu’s perspective. Honestly, he hadn’t expected her to forgive the issue entirely, but he had simply hoped things wouldn’t escte so rigidly.

Early the next morning, as per their prior agreement, Professor Zhang returned Ji Yu to her home.

When Ji Yu saw Gu Qixiao, she was a little surprised. "So, you really are someone I’m very familiar with."

But if that’s the case, why didn’t he bring her back thest time? It seemed so unreasonable.

"Yu..." Gu Qixiao wondered if he was hallucinating. He couldn’t believe he was seeing Ji Yu in the hospital, and what’s more, with such an expression.

"What happened this time was indeed Xia’s mistake. I’m here to apologize on his behalf. As for Mrs. Ji’s condition, I assure you I won’t ignore it. I only hope you can show some leniency and not persist in faulting him over this matter."

The trouble Xia Chuanhe had caused now required even Professor Zhang’s intervention to resolve.

It was indeed something people couldn’t help but sigh over.

"Professor Zhang, I just want to know: when will my mother’s condition improve enough for her to wake up?"

Ji Yuanzhou had been utterly drained by this matter recently.

Since Professor Zhang had promised Ji Yu, there was no way he would change his stance now.

"I’ll handle the issue as soon as I can. Don’t worry too much. Often, many things still need to unfold naturally."

In any case, the main purpose of his visit today was to ensure Ji Yu’s return.

Ji Yu looked at the people around her, finding them both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Who are you? Could you introduce yourselves? I’ve lost my previous memories, but I’ll try my best to recall who you are. Even if I can’t remember the past, we should still be able to make new memories together."

Her outlook was rather optimistic. After all, none of this was her fault to begin with.

Ji Yuanzhou, looking at this version of Ji Yu, was at a loss. "You really haven’t changed at all. At first, I thought losing your memory might make you more docile or reserved."

But now it seemed that losing one’s memory didn’t necessarily mean a change in personality.

Ji Yu’s character had never wavered.

"Even though I’ve lost my past memories, that doesn’t mean I’ve lost my wits. Besides, I don’t see these past events as such a big deal. And here I am, back, aren’t I?"

Her mood at the moment wasn’t too bad—likely because she didn’t have to see Xia Chuanhe anymore.

Despite the memories she retained suggesting Xia Chuanhe was someone she loved, for some inexplicable reason, she felt nothing for him whenever she saw him.

After a round of introductions from everyone in front of Ji Yu, the situation seemed undeniably strange. But since the introductions wereplete, there wasn’t much else to dwell on.

Gu Qixiao, observing Ji Yu, felt both anxious and at a loss.

Perhaps he feared she would still be upset with him over the past incident. So he exined why he hadn’t brought her back that day.

"Yu, I’m your fiancé. I know you’re still angry at me about what happened that day. But without Professor Zhang’s help, none of us could’ve ensured your mother’s health. Back when you still had your memory, you always insisted your mother’s well-being had toe first. That’s why I didn’t bring you back that day."

Everything he endured had been for Ji Yu’s sake.

When the words "I’m your fiancé" left his mouth, Ji Yu was genuinely taken aback. She had never imagined someone like him existed in her life.

"You’re my fiancé?"

Ji Yu found it hard to fathom how, given such a rtionship, she could have remained so close to someone like Xia Chuanhe.

"Do we not have much affection for each other? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so generous about it all."

After mulling it over, she concluded this was probably the only exnation.

But how could Gu Qixiao not have feelings for Ji Yu?

"Yu, if I didn’t have feelings for you, I wouldn’t be in such agony. I only made these decisions because I didn’t want to see you caught in a difficult situation. Don’t worry; everything will unfold ording to how you want it to."

Yet Ji Yu didn’t want to see someone by her side turning into this version of themselves.

Deep down, she still hoped Gu Qixiao could feel truly happy.

"I think the rtionship between the two of us should be equal. If a rtionship isn’t equal, it could neverst."

A situation like Gu Qixiao’s—giving endlessly—would only end in tragedy in the long run.

So Ji Yu also hoped that Gu Qixiao wouldn’t just give up on himself over this matter.

"Yu, I’m willing to do all this for you of my own ord. You don’t need to concern yourself with how I feel. I love you."

"That’s not what I mean. I mean you can love me, and I can love you, but it should never be about one person constantlypromising for the other." Ji Yu always felt as though he seemed to have forgotten everything else, choosing instead to linger in this painful state for her sake.

"What you’ve done has been of your own free will, and I fully understand that. But doing things willingly doesn’t mean doing them happily. I believe you’ve felt this yourself. I just want you to be a bit happier."

She didn’t want Gu Qixiao to continue on this way.

"How about this? Now that I’m back, let me show you how we should really treat each other in a rtionship."

Sometimes, losing one’s memory came with its perks. For instance, Ji Yu, who had never spared a second thought on such matters, was now determined to teach Gu Qixiao how to cultivate a truly equal rtionship.

Gu Qixiao, sensing Ji Yu’s intentions, naturally didn’t refuse.
