The young man's eyes were tightly shut. Even though he was drenched and in a sorry state, it could not hide his exquisite face, slender figure, and perfect muscles under his wet shirt.
Lan Shu was stunned for a moment at the sight of such a pitiful and sickly beauty.
And this young man…
He looked familiar!
She took a closer look. Wasn't this the young man she had met in the county who had kindly lent her his clothes?
At that time, she had only met him briefly, but his super good looks were still fresh in her mind.
After that, when she washed the shirt and went to return it, only the old lady was at home. She said that her grandson had gone out to buy something.
Unexpectedly, she met the young man again in her own house!
"Brother, where did you find him?" Lan Shu looked up at Lan Dazhuang.
"I went to the riverbank to collect peanuts today and saw something by the river. I went over to take a look and saw him lying by the water. He was still breathing."
Lan Dazhuang decided to bring him back because he looked like the type that his sister liked.
Listening to Lan Dazhuang's words, Lan Shu wondered how this young man had come from the county to their Tianshui Village.
The county was not close to Tianshui Village. He couldn't have floated over with the water, right?
If that were the case, no matter how lucky he was, he would definitely not be able to survive!
At this moment, Lan Xiuming, who was at the side, gave the young man a preliminary checkup and said, "He's fine. He was in the water for too long and fainted from exhaustion. Let's move him into the house first."
Lan Dazhuang immediately did just that.
Only then did Lan Shu recognize Lan Xiuming after seeing his appearance!
When did the host's second brother come back?
She felt that it was such a coincidence that the doctor encountered a patient as soon as he returned…
Could it be that her second brother had a buff similar to Conan's?
Lan Shu's mind was in a mess. The two brothers quickly moved the young man to Lan Sibo's house, took off his wet clothes, and found Lan Dazhuang's clean clothes for the young man to change into.
Although the young man's body was not as muscular as Lan Dazhuang's, his figure was tall, so his clothes did not look too big on him.
After changing his clothes, Lan Shu was allowed to enter the house. Then, she heard Lan Dazhuang speak, "Sis, what do you think of this kid's face? Do you like him?"
Lan Shu: "…"
Even if she liked him, the other party wouldn't be willing to get together with her!
And how old was this guy?
She didn't want to be a cougar!
What Lan Shu did not expect was that her brother was really planning to find her another man.
Compared to Lan Dazhuang's enthusiastic recommendation, Lan Xiuming was clearly much calmer.
When he was changing the young man's clothes just now, he also checked the young man's body more carefully.
"There's a bloody bump on the back of his head. He probably fell into the water after being injured. There's no equipment at home for me to examine him now. We won't know the details of his injury until he wakes up," Lan Xiuming said.
Lan Shu had just heaved a sigh of relief after learning that the young man's life was not in danger from nearly drowning when she heard Lan Xiuming's words. She immediately frowned.
Blood clot on the back of his head? Injured and fell into the water?
Who did the young man offend that he was beaten up and thrown into the river?
He could've died!
Fortunately, he was lucky enough not to drown and was brought back by her brother.
Otherwise, it would be a pity for such a good-looking person to die just like that!
"Let him rest first." Lan Xiuming's voice sounded. Then, he looked up at Lan Dazhuang.
"Big Brother, if you still have work to do in the fields today, go and do it first. I'll go to the school and the commune to tell Dad and Mom about this later. Sis will stay at home to watch over him. If he wakes up, get him a glass of water."
Although it was best to cook some soft and digestible porridge for the young man to eat when he woke up to replenish his strength, in Lan Xiuming's eyes, the most his sister could do was pour water.
As for cooking porridge, they could only prepare it after he informed his parents to come back.
Lan Xiuming arranged everything clearly with just a few words. Lan Dazhuang nodded, and Lan Shu had no objections.
After putting his luggage in his house, Lan Xiuming changed into a pair of cloth shoes that were easy to walk in and left with Lan Dazhuang.
The two brothers separated outside the door. One went to work in the fields, and the other went to the commune.
When Lan Xiuming arrived at the commune, he found out that his father, who was a propagandist in the commune, had gone to work in the fields with the villagers. Lan Xiuming ran to the school and found his mother, who was a teacher at the village primary school, to tell her about his brother saving someone by the river.
Chang Chunfang still had class and could not leave for the time being. Fortunately, her second son was a responsible person and she could leave the matter to him. She was very relieved.
Hence, after informing them, Lan Xiuming went back alone.
…
Not long after Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming left the Lan family, Lan Shu saw the eyelashes of the unconscious young man on the bed tremble slightly before he slowly opened his eyes.
The young man's dark eyes were clear but full of confusion.
The moment he opened his eyes, it was as if stars were flashing in them. For a moment, Lan Shu could take her eyes off him…
His pupils constricted slightly. First, he looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Then, he seemed to see Lan Shu sitting by the bed.
The young man was stunned and frowned in confusion. "Who are you?"
His originally clear voice was slightly hoarse because of the discomfort in his body.
Lan Shu's ears itched when she heard this voice that was between a young man and an adult.
Fortunately, she didn't have a thing for nice voices. Otherwise, just his voice alone would be enough to make her fall for him!
However, she was obsessed with looks… If the young man was a little older, she would have fallen for him all the same…
When questioned by the young man, Lan Shu subconsciously said, "I'm…"
Before she could finish, she paused and asked the young man, "Don't you recognize me?"
It seemed that her weight loss had been quite effective after staying at home for more than ten days. She was so thin that no one could recognize her.
"Should I know you?" The young man placed his hands on the bed and slowly sat up. "Then who am I?"
Lan Shu: "…???"
'How would I know who you are?!'
Wait a minute!
He didn't even know who he was.
Did he… lose his memory?!
Lan Shu: "…"
Although she had already learned from her second brother that there was a bloody bump on the back of the young man's head, she had never thought that the young man would lose his memory.
Moreover, he actually encountered such a melodramatic thing like amnesia!
Lan Shu took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Then, she looked at the young man. "Do you remember who you provoked? How did you fall into the river?"
When the young man was asked this, his beautiful face frowned.
After a while, he shook his head. His voice was soft and sad. "I don't remember anything…"
Lan Shu: "…"
Other than confirming that the young man had really lost his memory, Lan Shu realized that compared to the cheerful young man she had met in the county, this young man who had lost his memory had an inexplicable sense of vulnerability that made people want to pity him.
Even she wanted to protect the young man.
As expected, no matter if it was a man or a woman, vulnerability was the greatest 'killing machine' in terms of romance.
