I finally remembered her.
【Jia'er~ I miss you.】
Xi Jia was eating breakfast and couldn't type, so we chatted via voice. "Aren't you being cheesy so early in the morning?"
Ye Qiu: "I miss you."
Xi Jia frowned, noticing something was wrong with her voice; it was very nasal, as if she was about to cry: "Did you have a fight with my second brother? Did he bully you?"
Ye Qiu didn't know how to respond, so he could only chuckle a few times.
Xi Jia: "I'll deal with him in a bit."
Ye Qiu changed the subject, "I don't finish work until around 7 p.m., and I don't get to the restaurant until after 8 p.m.
Xi Jia: "Me too, let's talk when we meet. I'm going to eat now." She hung up the phone.
Just then, Ji Qingshi entered the house from the courtyard, and Ji Qingyuan came down from the second floor.
Xi Jia was a little confused; how did everyone get together? She looked at her older brother, "You..." Before she could ask her question, Ji Qingshi interrupted, "Big brother stayed at home last night and didn't get back until the early hours of the morning; you didn't see him."
So that's how it is.
Ji Qingshi and Ji Qingyuan exchanged a glance, and then sat down to eat.
Ji Qingyuan didn't know how long Xi Jia's daytime memories would last, or if they would last until night, but he still gave her a heads-up in advance.
He has a friend who is coming to Beijing and staying at his home for a while. His name is Mo Yushen.
"Mo Yushen?"
"Hmm." Ji Qingyuan asked, "What, do you know him?"
Xi Jia shook her head. "I think I've heard that name before. It might be a coincidence. Why didn't you book a hotel room for him when he came to Beijing?"
Ji Qingyuan: "I used to stay at his house when I was abroad."
Xi Jia nodded. Christmas is more lively with more people. "What does Mo Yushen look like? Is he good-looking? Is he single?"
Ji Qingyuan: "..."
After Xi Jia finished eating, she stood up and patted Ji Qingyuan on the shoulder, "I was just asking casually, don't be scared."
She didn't rush to leave. She picked up her phone. Although her memory was incomplete, some things were still vividly remembered.
For example, asking for pocket money.
Xi Jia opened her phone's QR code for receiving payments and handed it to Ji Qingyuan, saying, "Brother, I'm out of money."
Ji Qingyuan scanned the QR code and transferred 20,000 yuan.
Xi Jia quickly accepted the payment, and Ji Qingshi, being very conscientious, had already opened the QR code and was ready to pay.
Receiving pocket money boosted Xi Jia's mood considerably. Now, she was an elite person earning tens of thousands a day.
When Xi Jia arrived at the courtyard, she didn't see Ji Qingshi's car; it had probably been taken in for maintenance. She asked the housekeeper for the keys to Ji Qingshi's sports car and left with a flourish.
Her car, with the license plate bearing her birthday, was at Mo Yushen's villa.
Today is a special day, but also an ordinary day.
All club staff members proceeded as planned.
Wu Yang pretended to have just arrived and waited for Xi Jia in the parking lot.
Xi Jia arrived in a sports car, making a grand entrance.
Wu Yang reversed the car and came to a stop.
Xi Jia's car was parked next to his. "Yang Yang, good morning."
She finally recognized him. Wu Yang took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and said, as usual, "Good morning."
The two walked side by side to the training field.
The sky was overcast and cold.
A harsh winter, cold winds, withered leaves, and yellowing foxtail grass. A desolate scene.
Nothing has changed.
Then everything changed.
Her time was two years later than others.
Her horsemanship has deteriorated to an unknown degree.
Wu Yang felt a vague sense of unease, but didn't know how to explain it.
Ji Qingshi's words still echoed in her ears: "Don't tell her about her past illness or all that happened. She'll get stuck on it if she can't remember."
It can cause psychological problems.
"Jiajia, I need to discuss something with you." Wu Yang carefully chose his words.
Xi Jia turned her head to the side: "You say it."
Wu Yang: "When you're training later, can you pretend that things aren't going well and that your equestrian skills have deteriorated?"
Xi Jia was confused.
Wu Yang: "I just received a call from other athletes' coaches, saying that several people's equestrian skills have deteriorated significantly and they've started to doubt themselves. I guess it might be because of the cold weather; both people and horses aren't as responsive."
This was the first time Xi Jia had heard such a strange reason. Horses wouldn't be affected by this temperature.
However, she still agreed and gave an OK sign.
Xi Jia's foreign coach and horse trainer were waiting for her at the training ground. For a year and a month, they hadn't trained together. They had almost given up hope.
As usual, the coach gave her a hug to begin a tough yet enjoyable day of training.
Xi Jia went to change her clothes, and everything felt perfectly normal. She mounted the horse as if nothing was amiss. It wasn't until obstacle training that she began to feel the strain.
For a moment, I began to doubt the meaning of life.
Fortunately, with Wu Yang's words as a foundation, she wasn't too panicked.
Wu Yang didn't linger at the training ground. He went to the monitoring room and kept watching Xi Jia's training. Throughout the training process, his hands clenched tightly.
My heart pounded violently with each leap and landing of the horse's hooves.
Xi Jia, when not on horseback, is soulless; he has always believed this.
The morning training session ended. Wu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, sweat beading on his forehead. He was even more nervous than when he first rode a horse.
Wu Yang returned to his office and waited for Xi Jia to come and have lunch with him.
He wrote down Xi Jia's situation from that morning and sent it to Mo Yushen via email, also copying Ji Qingshi and Ji Qingyuan.
"Yang Yang?" Xi Jia's voice came through.
"I'm here."
Wu Yang closed his email and randomly opened a news page.
Xi Jia pushed open the door, leaned against the door frame, showing no intention of coming in, and raised her chin slightly. "Let's go to the cafeteria."
Wu Yang grabbed his coat. "Has the cold weather affected your technique?"
Xi Jia nodded, "You tell them that I'm the same way, I've regressed to the point of almost questioning my existence."
Seeing her relaxed expression, Wu Yang felt relieved. "I don't know what blew in this cold air, but the horses are affected and more sensitive."
Xi Jia laughed: "We've blown in some potion of forgetfulness. The horse won't recognize us after drinking it."
Wu Yang also laughed: "Maybe that's really the case."
Xi Jia stopped worrying about why such a strange thing happened; nature is just that amazing.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, no one stared at Xi Jia; they would nod and greet each other when they met.
While waiting for her food, Xi Jia scrolled through her phone. Her Weibo account, which Mo Yushen had later re-registered for her—the one with tens of millions of followers—was now managed by Mo Yushen.
Xi Jia didn't notice that the account had an extra character; the profile picture and page were exactly the same as before. She found Zhou Mingqian's Weibo and liked his latest post.
This Weibo post was published yesterday to promote the new drama "The Rest of My Life".
The accompanying photo is a group photo from the press conference, in which all the main actors attended.
"Hey, is your ex-girlfriend also planning to enter the entertainment industry?" Xi Jia saw Yu Fei's photo.
Wu Yang was completely confused. Yu Fei was a model whose fame had increased significantly in the past two years. She was constantly on the runway at various fashion shows and he had never heard of her wanting to enter the entertainment industry.
However, he hasn't paid attention to her for a long time.
Xi Jia handed her phone to Wu Yang and asked, "You haven't had a girlfriend yet, are you trying to turn over a new leaf?"
Wu Yang remained silent. Fortunately, she had lost her memory and was unaware of his melodramatic love triangle with Yu An and Yu Fei.
Yu Fei made a cameo appearance in "The Rest of My Life," playing the illegitimate daughter who grew up abroad and is a model.
Zhou Mingqian knew Yu Fei's agent. The drama "The Rest of My Life" was short of a tall actress, and Yu Fei's appearance and temperament were very similar to the model in the original novel. In the end, Zhou Mingqian decided to let Yu Fei participate in the drama.
The luxury brands that Yu Fei wears in the drama are all sponsored by Xi Jia's mother, Xi Yelan.
In one scene, Yu Fei and Jiang Qin have a conflict, and during their scuffle, they knock over a black and white television set on the table.
Because of Yu Fei's expression and condition, that scene was reshot six times, resulting in the destruction of six black-and-white television sets. Yu Fei's clothes were also torn and difficult to repair.
Xi Yelan said it was okay, the clothes were just there to be kept as a collection, and she didn't wear them anyway.
During the filming of Yu Fei's scenes, Xi Jia was receiving a phone call from Wu Yang in a small cabin on set when a steel plate fell and hit the cabin, causing her to lose her sight for a moment. Later, she was mistakenly given to Zhou Mingqian. She was then taken to the hospital. There were other things that happened on set that she was unaware of.
Of the entire cast and crew, only Yu An knew Yu Fei. Yu An kept all the secrets to himself.
Wu Yang stared blankly at the photo of Yu Fei with the cast of "The Rest of My Life." How did Yu An manage to get through those days when Yu Fei was filming on set?
Chapter Seventy-Three
During the afternoon training session, Xi Jia gradually got into the zone and found the feeling of being one with the horse.
The coach joked, speaking broken Chinese, "Your horse has taken the antidote to love."
At noon, Xi Jia told Wu Yang that the Siberian cold wind had brought with it a potion of forgetfulness. Wu Yang then shared this joke in the group chat to comfort them.
