Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 322 - 296 Headache

Yong Qi had not expected Ji Sang to ask such a question. Frowning in thought for a moment, Yong Qi nodded.

"Indeed, she already had this issue before entering the sanitarium."

Ji Sang lowered her gaze,

"May I be so bold to ask why she entered the sanitarium? Have her family members visited her?"

Was it due to some illness?

Could it be possible to find out by inquiring with her family?

Yong Qi suddenly laughed,

"Before I answer you, can you first tell Uncle Yong why you are so interested in her?"

Ji Sang asked about Ah Xing the first time she came to the sanitarium, which he could understand as a case of affinity, but what about today? Just the second time they met, and she already wanted to ask more about Ah Xing.

Most importantly, there was Ah Xing’s attitude toward her.

The smile at the corner of Yong Qi’s mouth faded a bit, and his expression also changed.

Ji Sang did not completely hide

"She resembles a relative of mine, they both like roses, and their names both contain a ’star’."

Hearing Ji Sang’s words, Yong Qi frowned and only then Ji Sang spoke,

"That relative disappeared sixteen years ago."

Yong Qi understood.

"So you felt a familiarity when you saw her?"

Ji Sang nodded slightly, vaguely responding,

"Something like that." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

It wasn’t just a simple feeling of familiarity, but an unexplained sense of security that rose from the bottom of her heart upon seeing Ah Xing. She felt somewhat comforted when she saw her.

Yong Qi began to recall how he met Ah Xing that year.

Their first encounter was six years ago.

At that time, he just rented a house in a small town to stay quietly for a few days, to clear his mind, and then he met Ah Xing.

He noticed right away that there was something off about Ah Xing.

She seemed distracted as she walked, often sitting by a small river for an entire afternoon, and many times he worried she might accidentally fall in.

In a small town, encountering such a person with unusual behavior, Yong Qi naturally developed a curious interest.

He asked the townspeople about Ah Xing, but oddly enough, no one could provide information about her.

They only knew that Ah Xing’s family didn’t interact with neighbors and didn’t like to talk to others when they went out for walks.

"This woman is very strange; we all are too afraid to speak to her. You’d better not get to know her, to avoid bad luck."

When Yong Qi heard comments like this, he found it somewhat amusing. Clearly, without understanding her, they easily uttered such words, and even he, a stranger just arrived, could feel their inexplicable contempt and hostility towards that family.

And exactly because of this, Yong Qi was even more curious.

He had come to this small town just to leisurely spend a few days, enjoy the scenery, and relax, and naturally, when one harbors curiosity about something, it stays on one’s mind.

Yong Qi had not expected that an unfortunate, sudden thunderstorm would give him the chance to get closer to Ah Xing.

It was by that same river again, Ah Xing’s state was much worse than it is now, pale-faced, kneeling in the mud, shivering.

Her hands clutched her head, tugging at her own hair.

Had Yong Qi not arrived in time, she might have torn out her own hair.

On the previous few days when Yong Qi saw Ah Xing, she was wearing loose clothing, hiding how thin she was; but at that moment, when he held her in his arms, he realized just how excessively thin she was.

It was an unhealthy thinness.

Ah Xing fainted right there in Yong Qi’s arms.

At that time, there was only a small clinic in the town with an old doctor, and without much hesitation, Yong Qi took Ah Xing back to where he was staying.

Fortunately, the landlady showed no malice towards Ah Xing, quickly preparing hot water and helping Ah Xing change clothes.

Yong Qi’s bond with Ah Xing began on that stormy day, so he naturally knew what Ah Xing’s state would be like whenever there was a thunderstorm.

However, the reason for this, he did not know.

It was after that storm that Yong Qi began talking to Ah Xing, following her back to her home.

She was all alone.

The situation was dire.

Ah Xing seemed spaced out. Yong Qi quickly deduced she had psychological or mental issues.

Hence, Yong Qi stayed in that town for an extra month.

Just to take Ah Xing back to S City for treatment.

The process was extremely arduous. He knew nothing, and Ah Xing refused to say anything. Yet, perhaps it was due to his meticulous observation and the subtle care in many things he did that let Ah Xing lower her guard a bit.

Similarly, Ah Xing had one condition in agreeing to come with Yong Qi.

As for what the condition was.

Yong Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, ultimately choosing not to disclose it.

"It’s certain that she suffered trauma before, but when I found her six years ago, she had no family."

Hearing what Yong Qi said, Ji Sang felt a fleeting sense of disorientation.

Ah Xing’s enigmatic origins began to stir the suspicions Ji Sang had just managed to suppress.

"How old might she be?", she asked.

Yong Qi shook his head.

"Not quite sure."

It was getting dark outside, and the rain had started to lighten.

Ji Sang said goodbye to Yong Qi.

On her way home, Ji Sang drove slowly.

She hadn’t gone to check on Ah Xing when the thunder struck because she also had a headache.

Not as severe as the one she had experienced last time in the sanitarium’s garden, bearable.

What kind of thing could leave such lingering effects?

Ji Sang furrowed her brows deeply.

Unable to make sense of it, the pain began throbbing faintly in her head.

Ji Sang took several deep breaths, forcing herself to snap out of it.

At this moment, her phone on the center console started to ring.

It was a call from Fu Yisi.

The man had just finished a surgery, and upon seeing the sky outside, he hurriedly called Ji Sang.

"Hello?"

Ji Sang’s tone was quite stable, and Fu Yisi asked gently with a laugh,

"What are you up to?"

"I’m still driving, went out to take care of some things."

Fu Yisi didn’t dare to talk too much with Ji Sang, worried that it would distract her.

"Drive safely."

....

Ji Sang went straight back to Yujing Apartment. Given the poor weather and having driven such a long distance, Ji Sang went straight to her room as soon as she got home.

She slept for three solid hours.

She slept until the sky had completely darkened, until Fu Yisi had called her over ten times unsuccessfully, until Fu Yisi had already made dinner.

Ji Sang felt groggy, sitting on the bed for a while unable to fully recover.

Until Fu Yisi opened the bedroom door, his presence faintly suffused with the scent of food.

"You’re back."

Her voice was hoarse from sleeping too much.

Fu Yisi brought water to her lips.

"Did you tire yourself out today?"

Ji Sang drank a great deal of water in this manner.
