Chapter 322 Becoming The "You" Of The Past
Memories concern the brain's nerves, and a single mistake can cause irreversible damage.
Precisely because of this, Dongfang Yang advised Su Tao to take it slow, with Chi Xiaocheng's safety as the top priority.
Si Chen needn't be told; he was willing to follow Chi Xiaocheng's wishes in designing the plan until she decided she wanted to recover her memories.
It was the same point made at the beginning.
If no choice was made when Chi Xiaocheng first lost her memory, it wouldn't be so simple later.
However, Su Tao's determination still exceeded their expectations.
Si Chen, representing Chi Xiaocheng's faction, was the first to speak. "Su Tao, there's absolutely no need to rush when it comes to memories. During Chi Xiaocheng's stay in the hospital, Dongfang Yang and I will increase the manpower to protect her."
"Moreover, after the Chi Song brothers learned about Chu Lingfeng, they also took people to find him. We can wait until Chi Xiaocheng's body fully recovers before considering restoring her memories."
Doctor Lin nodded in agreement from the side. "Yes, Miss Su, although hypnosis is relatively more stable and faster than other extreme methods, if the body isn't in good condition, then there's the point you were more worried about last time."
"If Miss Chi first recalls painful memories instead of the beautiful ones, and her body is already weak, it could easily cause irreversible damage."
Su Tao tilted her head to look at Doctor Lin. "For example?"
Doctor Lin was momentarily speechless.
She hadn't expected Su Tao to ask so directly. In the past, she would have hesitated and worried about this and that, only to have her thoughts and topics easily manipulated.
Helpless, Doctor Lin had to bite the bullet and say, "Things like neurasthenia, and the possibility of disordered brain function, leading to various impairments in cognition, emotion, behavior, and will."
"Miss Chi already has mild schizophrenia. If it worsens..."
Doctor Lin didn't continue, knowing that Su Tao understood what she meant by "worsens."
Chi Xiaocheng's *yandere* tendencies.
But the current Su Tao was no longer afraid of *yandere* and running away from it.
Doctor Lin continued, "Besides, my professor friend from overseas who specializes in hypnotherapy won't be back until the middle of next month. I think it's okay to wait for that one month of treatment."
"If the hypnotist's skills aren't refined, the possibility of accidents is even higher."
After listening, Su Tao said faintly, "There's no need. I discussed this with Dongfang Yang before."
Dongfang Yang scratched his head. "So that's why you asked me to find a hypnosis master. I did find someone, and they're from the Dongfang family, but it'll take about a week for them to free up from Beijing and come here."
He added, "Actually, I also agree with Doctor Lin's opinion. It's better to wait a bit longer when it comes to memories."
"But I don't want to wait anymore."
Su Tao's voice trembled slightly. "This is already the third time..."
"It's the third time!"
The forced composure finally crumbled, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Every time, we wait, hesitate, thinking about the most beautiful ending, but accidents always happen. If this continues, will there be other accidents after Xiaocheng is discharged from the hospital?"
"Yes! Xiaocheng smiles at you, sweetly calling you 'brother.' Even after losing her memory, she's still as cute as before, even more carefree. But have you considered my feelings?"
"Watching Xiaocheng get close to others, watching her drift further and further away from me, being disliked, detested, and repulsed by her. Every time I want to approach her, I have to be cautious, afraid that she'll get angry, that she'll hate me again because of her memories."
"Even giving her a hug, I have to tremble and consider it for a long time!"
"Xiaocheng doesn't hate you like she hates me, so of course you'll say to wait a bit longer!"
"Waaah..."
Accompanied by sobs, a loud voice echoed through the small room. Su Tao couldn't stop crying, constantly wiping away her tears.
At the same time, she gritted her teeth, as if making a decision for herself. "I know, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with you. It was one choice after another that pushed me to this point."
"But from now on, I won't passively choose anymore."
"Perhaps Xiaocheng will feel pain during the memory recovery process, but she'll definitely be grateful to me afterward."
"I believe she, like me, desperately wants to be with me!"
Stubborn and willful.
Sorry, Xiaocheng.
I really want to hear you call me Tao Tao.
I really want to hug you.
I want to kiss you.
Protect you.
And be with you forever.
For this, even if you experience temporary pain, I will harden my heart and take action.
Just like how you used to "love" me.
Anyone could tell that Su Tao wasn't normal. Dongfang Yang and Si Chen also looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Persuading her now would be a bit too much.
In the end, this was a matter between "sisters."
Dongfang Yang sighed and nodded slightly. "Alright then, when my elder arrives, if Chi Xiaocheng's body has recovered well, we'll use hypnosis to awaken her memories."
Su Tao wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded emphatically. "Thank you!"
"And also, I'm sorry... for venting my emotions on you."
She belatedly realized that her current state wasn't right.
Perhaps she was really tired.
Or too anxious.
She shouldn't have vented such negative emotions on Dongfang Yang and Si Chen.
With the matter of the memories settled, Dongfang Yang deliberately changed the subject. "As for Chu Lingfeng, I'll discuss it with Si Chen later. Su Tao, you're in too bad a state. Go back and rest first."
"Okay..." Su Tao also knew that she couldn't interfere too much in this matter. Like with Ye Liang back then, she became the target, but it was always Chi Xiaocheng who got hurt.
But as she got up, something suddenly occurred to her. "Oh right, Dongfang Yang, that acting master you mentioned last time, the one who would teach me how to act..."
"Oh, she'll be here tomorrow. I'll introduce you to her then. Also, if you hadn't said that, I would have almost forgotten something."
Dongfang Yang added, "Last time, Chi Xiaocheng was chatting with me, saying she felt that you were a bit abnormal. Perhaps it was due to her confused memories, but she asked me to find a psychologist to take a look at you."
"When Chi Xiaocheng wakes up, you and Doctor Chen and Doctor Lin can go through the motions for Chi Xiaocheng to see."
"Okay."
Su Tao didn't think too much about it, nodding in agreement. After confirming that there was nothing else for her to do here, she walked out of the door.
Dragging her tired and heavy body, she returned to her previous hospital room.
As soon as she lay down on the bed, she realized that she no longer had the strength to get up.
"I can't trouble Dongfang Yang and Si Chen too much anymore, at least... I shouldn't show them such a worrying appearance."
"The current me is a mess."
Su Tao reached out, covering her eyes with some self-loathing.
Soon, she fell into a deep sleep again.
