After returning to the hospital, Gu Yusheng had a fever, but after sleeping until one in the afternoon with IV fluids he woke up feeling better.
He had simply stood too long in the cold last night. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with him, and a CT scan of his head verified that.
He didn't tell his doctor what he'd forgotten, but he did ask about what was wrong with him.
The brain surgeon told him he had selective memory loss, one of the most common memory loss types that people suffer.
Gu Yusheng now realized that the shock from losing Qin Zhi'ai had been too much, and his head injury during that earthquake had been the catalyst to erase his painful memories.
Xiaowang came to visit him at 1:30 p.m. and, at the end of their visit, Gu Yusheng told him to give his grandfather a ride home because he needed rest in his own bed.
Once left alone in this room, Gu Yusheng couldn't help but recall all the memories he had recovered.
