Seeing that Lu Yu's expression was not good, the doctor added, "However, you can try to talk about things that interest her to stimulate her. Sometimes amnesia is treated in this way."
Lu Yu, in a daze, saw the doctor off and sat down beside Ji Meiqing. Looking at Ji Meiqing, who seemed to be asleep, he truly couldn't believe that she might be bedridden for the rest of her life; she had been perfectly fine just hours before. He clenched his fist, thinking that if Ji Meiqing didn't wake up, he wouldn't let Qing Yuan off the hook.
Lu Yu remembered what the doctor had said earlier. He covered Ji Meiqing's hand and said, "Meiqing, Xiao Fei is getting married soon. Aren't you going to the wedding banquet?" Ji Meiqing didn't move.
Lu Yu continued, "Didn't you want to open restaurants all over the place and become the richest person in the world? You're lying in bed now. Are you trying to make it happen in your dreams?" Ji Meiqing still didn't move.
Lu Yu talked about fond memories of the past and bright hopes for the future. But Ji Meiqing remained lying there. Finally, it was time to eat. Lu Yu had little appetite, but he had to feed Ji Meiqing.
Lu Yu blew on a bowl of porridge to cool it down a bit before ladling a spoonful for Ji Meiqing to eat. However, even after putting it in Ji Meiqing's mouth, she couldn't swallow it.
Lu Yu had no other choice but to take a sip himself and then kiss Ji Meiqing, which finally got Ji Meiqing to eat something.
After feeding Ji Meiqing, Lu Yu ate something himself. Having ridden for so long, he was quite exhausted. After taking care of Ji Meiqing, he lay down beside her for a short rest. Ji Meiqing needed him; he couldn't afford to collapse.
After waking up, he opened the window to let in some fresh air, only to see the leader and his gang behaving arrogantly on the street. Lu Yu didn't have the energy to deal with it; it wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't afford to cause trouble right now. Besides, he already had a grudge against them. Moreover, he also had to take care of Ji Meiqing, so he simply couldn't manage it all.
The next day, Lu Yu didn't want to stay there any longer. Being unfamiliar with the place, he decided to take Ji Meiqing back to Rongcheng that day. After all, it would be easier to find familiar things there.
While Ji Meiqing was unconscious, Lu Yu had to take care of her, so his pace naturally slowed down. However, he still arrived in Rongcheng in just one day. As soon as he dismounted, he carried Ji Meiqing back to their room. Ji Tianci wasn't home, and Yan Jin and Yan Shen excitedly ran over when they saw them return. But they were all scared away by Lu Yu's grumpy face.
After Grandma Mei finished her chores, she saw this scene and comforted the two little ones, saying, "It's alright, Grandma will go in and check on them. You two go to the kitchen and get some good food to eat in your room for a while." After all, they are just children; good things will make them forget all the unpleasant things that happened. Smiles appeared on the brothers' faces, and then they went to the kitchen together.
After settling the two children in, Granny Mei went into Ji Meiqing and Lu Yu's room. Looking at Ji Meiqing lying on the bed, and then at the exhausted Lu Yu, she asked, "Young Master Lu, what happened?" Lu Yu told Granny Mei everything. Granny Mei said with concern, "Alright, you've been riding all day. Rest for a while. I'll take care of Madam."
Lu Yu shook his head and refused, "No need, Granny Mei. You're already busy enough taking care of those two little ones and managing the household. I'll take care of Mei Qing myself. After all, if it weren't for me, she wouldn't be in this state now."
Seeing his insistence, Grandma Mei didn't say anything more. She simply prepared some nourishing dishes for dinner. Lu Yu looked at Ji Meiqing and suddenly felt a heat on his face. He touched it and realized he was crying. They say a man doesn't easily shed tears. Lu Yu was truly afraid—afraid that Ji Meiqing would leave him. She had only ever told him once that she didn't belong here. Lu Yu worried that since she had managed to drive here, what if she went back without saying goodbye this time?
As his mind wandered, a place popped into his head—the place where they had met. He felt that even if there was only a sliver of hope, he had to try. It was getting late, so he decided to go there tomorrow.
Since Ji Meiqing couldn't eat on her own, Lu Yu fed her like that, so every time they ate, he would chase away any unrelated people.
Lu Yu went to bed early and got up very early the next day, which meant he set off early as well. So when Li Ming came to see Ji Meiqing after hearing the news, they had already left.
Lu Yu instructed that this matter must be kept secret and not revealed to anyone outside the family. Anyone who violates this rule will be dealt with severely when he returns.
Lu Yu led Ji Meiqing to the edge of a cliff, the place where he had saved her and where they had first met. Lu Yu felt that Ji Meiqing must care about him, so he decided to try his luck in such a place. While telling her their story, Lu Yu carried her on his back, showing her the scenery. He also casually mentioned his past with Tian Cuiwei to try and provoke her.
As if a miracle had occurred, Ji Meiqing slowly opened her eyes. After a while, she realized that she was on Lu Yu's back. Lu Yu was unaware of this and continued talking and walking slowly.
In fact, Ji Meiqing could hear what Lu Yu was saying. She wanted to open her eyes, but she always felt powerless. It wasn't until she arrived here, coupled with Lu Yu's words, that Ji Meiqing felt some kind of force awaken her.
Thinking about what Lu Yu had said about Tian Cuiwei earlier, although she knew he was trying to help her wake up sooner, she was still a little angry. So she came up with an idea to tease him. But when she saw how exhausted and disheveled he had been these past few days because of her, she couldn't bear to do it.
She tugged at Lu Yu's ear, and Lu Yu, feeling it, quickly put Ji Meiqing down and turned to look into her dark yet bright eyes. Excitedly, he hugged her tightly, "Meiqing, you're finally awake! I...I..." Lu Yu was so excited he was almost incoherent.
Ji Meiqing pushed him away and said, "Don't try to play the emotional card with me. You'd better explain clearly what you just said you did with Tian Cuiwei?"
Seeing her say that, Lu Yu chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, it's not safe to be in this desolate wilderness. Let's go home first." Ji Meiqing thought he was right; this was indeed not the place to cause trouble. So she went home with Lu Yu.
When Granny Mei saw that Ji Mei was awake, she quickly called out Yan Jin and Yan Shen. As soon as Ji Mei saw them, she squatted down and asked, "Did you miss your sister?" Lu Yu said quietly from the side, "It's only been a few days."
