The sound of the door opening caused Zhang Lian and Sifeng to suddenly turn towards the door at the same time.
A man came in with a small box. Without saying much the man immediately ran towards Sifeng. The man bumped into and hugged Sifeng\'s body who was sitting on the bed.
"I missed you so much, Idiot! I\'m sorry, A-Feng! I wasn\'t there when you first opened your eyes again, A-Feng," said the man. He tightened his grip on Sifeng\'s body even more. It had been a long time since he had seen his stupid little brother.
Silence.
A moment later, Sifeng pushed the man to the ground.
"What the hell are you doing, huh! Who are you? How dare you touch me, huh?! I don\'t know you at all, Damn it!" snapped Sifeng, full of emotion.
Sifeng rubbed his arm, as if the foreign man had stained his gown.
Alright, Sifeng is stylish, so even though it\'s a hospital outfit it was designed by Sifeng himself. Of course the nurses fulfilled the request of the nephew of the owner of this hospital.
The man who fell to the ground got up. He came closer to Sifeng and cupped Sifeng\'s cheeks, so that they were facing him.
"Look into my eyes, A-Feng! I am Xiao Yushen ...."
"ZHANG YUSHEN!!" Zhang Lian immediately corrected her brother\'s words.
"Alright, alright, Jiejie!" Yushen responded. After that, Yushen looked back at Sifeng.
"I am Zhang Yushen, your brother! Was it that easy for you to forget me, A-Feng? You\'re still mad that I wasn\'t here when you woke up, huh?! Really, I\'m sorry, A-Feng!"
The man said that made Sifeng look even more confused.
"Little brother you say? Sorry, Master. I don\'t have an older brother, I only have Lian Jiejie." Sifeng said as he tightly gripped Zhang Lian\'s hand, asking his sister to protect him from this foreign man who pretended to know him.
"Stop it, you idiot! I\'m sick of seeing this joke of yours, A-Feng!!" snapped the man, who was Zhang Yushen.
Yushen rubbed his face roughly in anger. His shoulders heaved up and down to contain his emotions. Yushen really wanted to beat his little brother so he wouldn\'t make such cheap jokes again.
Sifeng puffed out his chest, challenging Yushen.
"Hey, what do you mean, Stranger? Why are you rude to people you don\'t know, huh?!" snapped Sifeng, no less loudly.
"You just forgot about me because I just saw you? I see? Tch! This is so childish, you idiot!"
Yushen smirked. He stood on his hips beside Sifeng\'s bed. Yushen looked really disappointed to see his brother\'s attitude.
Yushen had the feeling that he was only a week late to see Sifeng, ever since his younger brother came to his senses.
"I hate your childish attitude, A-Feng!" Yushen snapped again.
"Shut up, I say! Get out of here! Quick! Don\'t confuse me!" Sifeng shouted, hysterically.
Sifeng squeezed his hair roughly. Sifeng suddenly felt a great headache at this time. The pain was so severe that it made his vision blur for a moment.
Zhang Lian realized the pain his youngest brother was in now. Zhang Lian pulled Yushen out so that Sifeng wouldn\'t have a panic attack.
Sifeng took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. Sifeng calmed his emotions so his head wouldn\'t throb in pain. Sifeng was now curled up in his bed again.
A moment later, Sifeng got up and grabbed the small box that was on the table, beside his bed.
Apparently, the box belonged to the stranger, he thought.
Sifeng was curious and finally opened the box. Well, inside is a glass mask. Sifeng flipped the thing over.
"I feel like I\'ve seen something like this before."
***
Outdoors. Zhang Lian took Yushen away from Sifeng\'s infirmary. She was worried because of Sifeng\'s condition. Sifeng should not have a panic attack.
Yushen who was forcibly pulled by his sister, was confused.
"What\'s the matter, Jiejie?" Yushen asked, surprised.
*Jiejie = sister
"There\'s a problem with A-Feng\'s memory, A-Shen. A-Feng is back the way he was when he hadn\'t met you. His attitude became strange when he just realized." Zhang Lian explained.
"W-what do you mean, Jiejie? Explain slowly! I don\'t understand what you\'re saying. Tell me slowly!" asked the man just now which was none other than Zhang Yushen
"Follow me to meet Shushu, A-Shen! He will explain everything about A-Feng\'s situation." Zhang Lian pulled his brother\'s hand towards the doctor\'s office.
* Shushu = uncle
***
Zhang Yushen returned from a business trip in Japan. It\'s been two weeks since Yushen left this city of Beijing.
One week ago, his father informed him that Sifeng had regained consciousness. Yushen immediately finished his work in Japan and went straight home.
However, Yushen didn\'t know why after he visited Sifeng who was still in the hospital, his younger brother didn\'t even recognize Yushen. At first, Yushen only thought that it was all a joke from Sifeng, but there was something wrong with his brother\'s memory, said Zhang Lian.
Zhang Lian took Yushen to the doctor\'s office. In the room, Mr. Zhang had also been with Doctor Zhang Chen.
Yushen pulled a chair closer to his uncle\'s desk. Zhang Lian also sat between Yushen and their father.
"Shushu, what exactly happened to A-Feng? Why is A-Feng acting weird like that, Shushu?" Yushen asked the bespectacled man in front of him.
*Shushu = uncle
"A-Feng has anterograde amnesia, A-Shen. This type of amnesia interferes with memory related to past events that are still attached to A-Feng\'s memory. So, A-Feng has difficulty remembering events that have recently occurred. A-Feng only remembers past events that have passed a long time ago," explained Dr. Zhang Chen.
"But, how did all that happen, Shushu?" Yushen asked again. He seemed not to accept the statement his uncle gave.
"This is because an area of the brain called the hippocampus, which plays an important role in memory formation, is damaged, A-Shen." Doctor Chen again explained.
"Could this be because of the severe wound on A-Feng\'s head during the previous accident, A-Shen?" said Yushen.
"There are many causes for this amnesia, A-Shen. Apart from being hit hard when A-Feng saved his mother, this is also due to the psychological trauma that your sister experienced. Not to mention her habit of drinking sedatives and alcohol a lot."
Doctor Zhang Chen paused his speech.
"And A-Feng\'s memory was trapped in the events of 4 years ago. What A-Feng remembered the last time was when someone drowned him, when he was in Japan 4 years ago. That incident left A-Feng traumatized," said Doctor Zhang Chen. .
"I never even knew that my son had drowned in the Sea of Japan. I am a useless father. I wasted my son all this time."
Master Zhang cursed himself.
"I\'m not a good big sister either, Papa. All this time, my mom and I ignored A-Feng. In fact, we never even considered him to exist. I just realized in the last 4 years, that someone always expects me to call him \'little brother\'. "
Zhang Lian said as he reminisced about the atrocities she had done to Sifeng all this time.
Zhang Yushen was no less regretful. In fact, Yushen was the man who drowned his own brother in the Sea of Japan. In fact, at that time Yushen did not know that Sifeng was his real brother. Brother of the same father with Yushen.
"Will A-Feng\'s memory return soon, Shushu?" Yushen asked, quietly. The guilt resurfaced in his heart.
"I don\'t know, A-Shen. This type of amnesia can be temporary or permanent. However, I suggest not to force A-Feng to remember everything. It will affect his health," said Doctor Zhang Chen.
The doctor\'s gaze now turned to Mr. Zhang.
"Oh yes, Gege. Has there been a bright spot, about who ordered people to remove A-Feng\'s life support resuscitation device 3 weeks ago?" Doctor Chen asked his brother, Mr. Zhang Minghao.
"Not yet. Inspector Zhao is investigating it. Most likely the same culprit as the one who shot A-Feng 2 months while rescuing his mother."
Master Zhang rubbed his face roughly. Painful events have been coming to the Zhang family lately.
***
By now Sifeng had already returned to the Zhang residence. Sifeng was forbidden by his father to live alone in his apartment. Sifeng was in Master Zhang\'s study at the moment.
"Tsk! Why did you tell me to stay here, huh? Didn\'t you tell me to hide until I grew up, hmm? Did you change your mind?" Sifeng said sarcastically.
Sifeng clearly remembered that all along Mr. Zhang had forbidden him from appearing in public. Before Sifeng becomes mature and successful, Master Zhang will not announce Sifeng as his son.
