Chapter 54 - You Two Are a Perfect Match

“These things can’t be done overnight. Don’t force yourself to remember them. That would be painful,” Yan Yebai comforted.

Ji Naitang took a deep breath and drank a sip of coffee. Yan Yebai asked, “What else did you dream about? For example, why was there a car accident?”

Ji Naitang shook his head. His dream last night was very messy. It jumped here one moment and jumped there in the next moment. But they were all painful memories, like when he wished he was dead when he first arrived at the hospital before he saw Cen Muqi.

“Don’t worry. We’ll take it slowly. You’re slowly regaining your memories now. But you have to be prepared. Those memories might cause you more pain.”

“Dr. Yan, I prepared myself for so many years already. I won’t give up no matter what. There are a lot of people who bring me pain, but I also have people who really love and care about me. So, I won’t seek death like before.”

“That’s good then.”

“Ji Naitang?”

Ji Naitang heard someone call out his name behind him. He turned and saw that the other person wore a hat and sunglasses inside the building. He looked very strangely dressed. He ran over and took off his sunglasses. “It’s me. What a coincidence to see you here!”

Ji Naitang then saw that it was Zhuo Xiaozhuo. It had been a long time since they came back from the resort, so he had somewhat forgotten about this person.

“Scoot in a little. Give me a seat.” Zhuo Xiaozhuo very naturally and familiarly squeezed Ji Naitang over. He sat in Ji Naitang’s original seat. Then he looked up at Yan Yebai opposite him.

“Who is this handsome guy? Ji Naitang, don’t tell me you changed people again? If you’re changing to someone else, why didn’t you call me? Even if I’m waiting in line with a number, it should be me first.”

Yan Yebai was speechless. He was even more speechless when he looked at Ji Naitang. Zhuo Xiaozhuo held Ji Naitang’s arm and said, “Why aren’t you talking?”

To prevent Zhuo Xiaozhuo from saying even more shocking things, Ji Naitang could only say, “Are we very familiar with each other?”

“We’re not familiar with each other now. But that can be solved by sleeping together. When are you going to sleep with me?”

Yan Yebai, who was drinking water, choked unsurprisingly. Ji Naitang stroked his forehead. “Zhuo Xiaozhuo, why do you want to be done so much?!”

“I don’t just do anyone. I like you. But I sent myself to the door twice now and you’re not doing me. Are you incapable of doing it?”

“So because I won’t do you, you turned gray overnight?” Ji Naitang casually joked.

Zhuo Xiaozhuo reached out to touch his hair. He muttered, “I just dyed it granny gray yesterday.* It doesn’t look good? I looked in the mirror and thought it was very good-looking. I was going to find you and seduce you.”

[“Granny gray” is a hair color.]

Ji Naitang pointed to Yan Yebai. “You’re granny gray, but he’s grandpa white.* You two are a perfect match. So, you shouldn’t come look for me.”

[The “Bai” in “Yan Yebai” means “white.”]

Zhuo Xiaozhuo looked carefully at Yan Yebai’s hair. He asked, puzzled, “How is his hair white? It’s obviously black. Are you colorblind?”

“I meant his name.”

“Name?” Zhuo Xiaozhuo looked shocked at Yan Yebai. “Your name is ‘Grandpa White?’ What a strange name. What was your dad thinking when he named you? I know. He must want everyone to call you ‘Grandpa’ and let you gain a cheap advantage!”

Yan Yebai: “……” Who was provoking whom here?! He was so angry that he didn’t want to speak.

As a result, the rather dumb Zhuo Xiaozhuo kept on asking him questions. Yan Yebai finally handed a business card over. Zhuo Xiaozhuo then finally realized that he was named “Yan Yebai.”

Yan Yebai looked down on the watch on his left hand and said, “I still have a patient in the afternoon, so I’m going back to the clinic now. Naitang, call me if you need anything.”

Ji Naitang nodded. After Yan Yebai left, he pointed to the opposite seat and asked Zhuo Xiaozhuo, “Can you sit a little farther?”

“Why?”

“Your cologne is too strong.”

Zhuo Xiaozhuo lowered his head and sniffed himself. “The cologne I use is expensive. How can it be too strong? Do you have a problem with your nose?” He moved to the opposite seat and said, “I haven’t eaten yet. I’m starving. Treat me to a meal.”

Ji Naitang called a waiter over and let Zhuo Xiaozhuo order food. Then he sat there and drank coffee. If this was before, he would have left already. But he wanted to ask Zhuo Xiaozhuo about a “backer and mistress” relationship.
