Why?

”Alright, alright, I really hate it.” Ye Zichen put down the phone with a pout and laid on the bed in a daze.

Not only was he unable to work, he had to be restricted from even going out. After all, if he was looking for a friend, he would be busy loving his boyfriend (Zhu Lingling) or taking care of his child (Xiao Rou). As for the others, their relationship wasn't so good that they could disturb him at any time.

She rolled on the bed for a while. Just as she was about to see if there was anything new, she suddenly heard her cell phone ring.

She was overjoyed. She thought that Si Lianye had changed his mind and accepted the call without even looking at the screen. ”Hey, A Ye …”

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the person on the other side calmly say, ”Xi Ran, it's me.”

She was startled for a moment, then suddenly reacted: ”Xi Zeer, it's you.”

”Yes, it's me.”

She took a deep breath and suddenly felt her mind was in a mess. She couldn't tell what it felt like.

Ever since she had recovered her memories, she felt this exact feeling in Xi Zeer's heart whenever she thought about it.

In her memory, it was true that Xi Zeer had saved her, but what Si Lianye had said was true. She had been taken away from the hospital while she was unconscious, and the one who took her away could very well be Xi Zeer.

At the beginning, she didn't want to believe it, because during the three years that she had lost his memories, Xi Zeer had always been a competent doctor, and could even be said to be a very good candidate to be his friend. His good friend Zhu Lingling had wanted to match up with the two of them more than once, so it could be seen just how good of a man Xi Zeer was.

However, she was at a loss. If it really was him back then, why would he do such a thing?

She took a deep breath and could not help but ask, ”It's you? I thought it was someone else.”

She spoke with a hoarse voice. There were countless questions in her mind, but she couldn't say anything.

He was silent for a moment. ”Have you recovered your memory?”

She said softly, ”Yes, I remember now. I was indeed very ill at that time. You were the one who saved me.”

”You're welcome. I'm a doctor. Saving people is my duty.” ”No,” he said.

”But there's one thing I don't understand.” She bit her lip and said, ”Can you explain it to me?”

”Sure, ask away.”

”Why? When you took me away back then, you didn't tell Si Lianye about it and instead erased my memories, allowing me to stay abroad for three years?” she asked.

This was the question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time. Now that she was able to ask this question, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

He was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked back, ”You're very smart to know that it's me. Then, do you have any other questions for me?”

She gritted her teeth. ”Yes, but I hope you didn't do it.”

”Oh?”

She took a deep breath and asked, ”What I still want to ask is, was Le Le taken away by you as well?”

This question had only recently filled her mind. Every time Si Lianye investigated, she would get no results, and there was only one reason why she, and even his forces, would have no conclusion from searching for her with all their might. That was, that person was definitely not a local.

Then, she almost immediately thought of Xi Zeer. This kind of guess was completely unreasonable, but these kinds of thoughts were always lingering in her mind, and could not be dispelled no matter how hard she tried.

After a long silence, she sighed and said, ”So I didn't guess wrong, it really was you.”

Xi Zeer opened his mouth: ”Yes, it's me. Back then, the one who took Le Le away from the coma and was on the verge of death was me. The person who took Le Le away was also me.

”Why?” She blurted out the question when she heard him admit it all. Her hand gripped her cell phone tightly as she waited for him to give her a satisfactory reason.

”The reason is that I'm not willing to see you two happy. I'm not willing to see you two happy.” he said suddenly.

”No, you are lying. What you said is not true. I have never met you before, why would you say that?” she asked angrily.

Did he take himself for a three-year-old? It was so easy to deceive, she had never seen him before, why did he hate her so much, it was completely illogical, alright?

He let out a deep laugh, which was indescribable in her ears. Now that things had come to this, he finally put down his disguise and used his true nature to converse with her, ”What I'm saying is true. Even though you haven't seen me before, that doesn't mean others don't, right?”

She was startled: ”You mean, you mean, Si Lianye has enmity with you?”

”What do you think?” he asked.

”No, I don't believe it. He never told me about it. If he recognized you, he would definitely tell me. Definitely.” she said firmly.

He sneered. ”Sometimes the eyes lie.”

She thought for a moment, then sighed and said, ”Did you know? ”I used to treat you as my good friend, the kind that I would sincerely treat as my friend. However, you have disappointed me now.”

”Is that so? ”Then I'm sorry to disappoint you.” he said, his voice unwavering, not at all as full of emotion as she had imagined.

To be honest, she was really disappointed. So the person she had always thought of as a friend had ulterior motives, purposely wanting to separate her, Si Lianye, and her own child.

She was silent for a moment, then said, ”Since that's the case, would you mind answering a few more questions?”
