Chapter 1847: It's So Good That You're Still Alive

"Xiaoshi, has it been too long since anyone called you by that name, so you don't remember it?"

This time, Xie Wanyi was certain he had not misheard.

The familiar form of address even made his eyes feel a little warm.

He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, it has indeed been a long time."

Xie Wanyi's reaction was an admission!

In an instant, Jiang Motian felt aggrieved and confused.

She looked straight into Xie Wanyi's eyes and questioned, "You knew long ago that you were the person I was desperately searching for; why didn't you tell me?"

"Because my childhood memories were controlled by a Chip, and I was confused myself, so how could I tell you?"

"Then just tell me while you're confused; I'm with you anyway, I'll be confused right along with you!"

Jiang Motian was somewhat emotional, and the words spilled out the moment she opened her mouth.

She only thought about it for a moment...

This reason was a bit childish.

Jiang Motian had to cough lightly and then change her words: "I will help you sort things out!"

She was very serious when she explained, her eyes widening unconsciously.

Truly adorable.

Xie Wanyi couldn't help but reach out his finger and gently stroke her cheek.

The soft and smooth sensation under his finger made him unable to let go...

Xie Wanyi was a little distracted.

Jiang Motian, however, felt a bit ticklish.

She pushed away Xie Wanyi's palm and then looked seriously at Xie Wanyi's face.

A smile slowly appeared on her face.

That smile even infected Xie Wanyi; he curled his lips and asked, "What are you giggling at?"

"It's so good that you're still alive!"

Jiang Motian was truly grateful.

The regrets of the past had also become complete.

And this feeling of recovering what was lost made her eyes grow warm.

As she blinked, tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

Xie Wanyi helped her wipe away the tears, his voice low: "Don't cry, it makes my heart ache."

Jiang Motian shook her head with a smile.

She said, "These are happy tears, it doesn't matter if they fall!"

"I still can't stand it."

"Fine, I'll hold them back."

Jiang Motian took a deep breath and actually forced the tears to stop.

She wanted to chat with Xie Wanyi about the past.

After thinking for a moment, she recalled: "Do you remember the bad guy who gave me a hard time? I was terrified at the time, and it was you who played the pig to eat the tiger, knocked him into the water, and taught him a harsh lesson..."

These memories usually lay dormant in a corner.

As if they had vanished without a trace.

But once a corner was lifted.

Those past events surged out like a tide and were gilded with brilliance once more.

After hearing her words, Xie Wanyi seemed to have some impression of this past as well.

He was still searching deep within his memory.

The result...

Was a splitting headache!

As if it were about to explode!

Seeing his pained expression, Jiang Motian hurriedly said, "Are you tired? Then close your eyes and rest for a while!"

Perhaps, it really was time to rest.

Xie Wanyi closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

But when he was asleep, his brows were knitted together.

And this frowning seemed to be contagious.

Jiang Motian also furrowed her brows.

She tucked the corner of the blanket in for Xie Wanyi, then sought out Liu Xin'ai to explain the situation that had just occurred.

After listening, Liu Xin'ai immediately arranged a detailed examination for Xie Wanyi.

Judging from the results, Xie Wanyi's post-operative recovery was good, and the readings showed no issues.

But Liu Xin'ai did not relax because of this.

Because she suspected...

That Xie Wanyi's headache might be some kind of unforeseen sequela!

Liu Xin'ai prepared to conduct close observation.

Besides that, she also asked Jiang Motian to help.

Jiang Motian asked in confusion, "What can I help with?"

"Chat with Wanyi more and see if the content of your conversations triggers anything for him."

Speaking of chatting, it triggered something again...

Jiang Motian murmured, "Wanyi has a headache because I chatted with him about our shared memories from when we were little."

She suddenly thought of something and added, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Wanyi is Xiaoshi!"

Liu Xin'ai was stunned.

Immediately after, she asked in confusion, "You looked for Xiaoshi for such a long time, even creating a fake Xiaoshi in the process, and it turns out the real one was watching from the sidelines?"

"Wanyi didn't hide it on purpose; his childhood memories were controlled by Li Shu using a Chip!"

"So that means... Wanyi gets a headache whenever he thinks of the memories that were controlled by the Chip?"

"... You could say that."

After Jiang Motian replied, she hurriedly added, "But this situation only happened once, so we can't draw a conclusion from it."

"That's true," Liu Xin'ai murmured, then her gaze became firm, "So we must try one more time!"

Try one more time!?

Jiang Motian was very resistant to this decision.

She widened her eyes and reminded Liu Xin'ai, "Wanyi will be in pain!"

"I know, but if we don't find the root cause, he will keep being in pain. Right now, it's a choice between long-term pain and short-term pain."

Jiang Motian didn't want long-term pain, nor did she want short-term pain.

But the reality of the situation... did not allow her to have the best of both worlds.

In the end, Jiang Motian still decided to test it.

To ensure the results, Jiang Motian did not give Xie Wanyi a heads-up in advance.

She just slowly steered the conversation toward that experience with Xiaoshi during a normal chat.

And then...

The pain struck again!

And it was even more painful!

Xie Wanyi's complexion was pale!

But Jiang Motian's complexion was even worse than his; she even said with a sobbing tone, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Xie Wanyi was in great discomfort, yet he still spared some energy to say to Jiang Motian, "Silly, it's not like you're the one making me hurt."

How could it not be?

Jiang Motian was the one who started it!

She crouched beside him, feeling helpless, and then saw Liu Xin'ai walk in carrying an instrument.

Liu Xin'ai attached electrode pads to Xie Wanyi's head.

The electrode pads were then connected to a machine.

After turning on the switch, Xie Wanyi's agony miraculously disappeared by more than half.

It was just that the experience from a moment ago had been very draining.

Having calmed down, Xie Wanyi soon fell asleep.

Liu Xin'ai patted Jiang Motian on the shoulder, signaling for her to go outside to talk.

The two walked to the door of the hospital room, and Liu Xin'ai first helped Jiang Motian wipe the tears from her cheeks.

Then she comforted her, "Don't blame yourself; what you did was right."

Jiang Motian sniffled and tried to use a calm tone as she said, "I know."

"Then stop crying; it's quite heartbreaking to watch."

"Okay."

Jiang Motian rubbed her cheeks, trying her best to make her expression look less dejected.

Afterward, she asked about the main issue: "What kind of good thing did you use on Wanyi? It's so effective."

"This is an instrument I borrowed from a friend; it can stimulate brain waves."

"So, do you know what is causing Wanyi's headache?"

Liu Xin'ai did not give a definitive answer, but instead murmured, "I've been reading quite a lot of materials lately. From my judgment, Wanyi's headache is caused by brain wave disorder resulting from someone forcibly controlling his memories."

So, there were still aftereffects.

Jiang Motian clenched her palms, her heart rising into her throat.

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, her heart sinking as she realized that Li Beijue had already discovered her location.
