Chapter 49: Memories
Translator: Claire.KK
Ziyu Ai’s elder brother had a tea garden, which was more than ten mu (about two acres). Its environment was very good. It was next to Lingyin Temple and only more than 20 minutes’ drive to Wulin Gate where one could start the visit to the West Lake.

The dog was in full swing after getting off the car. However, sitting in the car for too long, the dog felt dizzy and its legs went soft so that it could not control itself and directly fell into the lake beside the tea garden. Ziyu Ai laughed at the disaster.

It was really warm in Hangzhou. The time was just past 6 a.m., and the temperature was already more than 10 degrees. Zhishu He was still asleep. The pouches under his eyes, covered by his long eyelashes, were heavy because of a bad sleep for a long time.

Ziyu Ai bent over and carefully held Zhishu He up horizontally. Although Ai acted especially lightly, He woke up immediately. “Don’t move around,” Ziyu Ai held He tighter and laughed, “or you’ll fall.”

Zhishu He felt a bit embarrassed for they were too close to each other. He struggled to get out of Ai’s arms but failed, “… I can walk myself.”

Ziyu Ai glanced aside and saw that the wet dog had already run over, “When you come down, it will pounce on you.” Ziyu Ai kept walking and said, “I’ll hold you to have a good rest and bring those kittens in later.”

Ziyu Ai was also tired. He drove for more than 20 hours intermittently. Zhishu did not want to trouble him more. So he agreed.

The weather in the south was wet and the quilts were not as warm and soft as those in the north after being aired under the sunshine. Ziyu Ai had made someone change all quilts for new ones. Ziyu pulled the quilt over He and said, “Sleep for a while. I’ll invite you to eat wine-steeped shrimp at a famous restaurant called Louwailou for lunch.”

“Doctor Ai, I’m sorry to trouble you so much.”

“When my friends visit me, I also treat them like this. Stop thinking too much. After arranging well the dog and the kittens, I also need sleep for a while. Don’t say anything that makes me sober anymore.” Ziyu Ai evaded the topic and pretended to be extremely fatigue.

It was common for a doctor to perform a delicate operation continuously for more than 10 hours. Ziyu Ai were good both in spirit and physique. He was just to cheat Zhishu. It was not a problem to let him drive continuously to Suzhou.

Ziyu Ai called his classmate in Shanghai as soon as he left the bedroom. All arrangements were in place. Both the medical level and technical nursing were as good as that in Beijing. He had used up all his resources to find the proper marrow that matched with Zhishu’s. Although it was a little late.Ziyu Ai shut the dog out of the door and slept peacefully for five or six hours. He did not realize that it was so cold that he was awaked by the coldness. The cold and damp could be felt only after a long time staying. He stood up to wash his face. He was wondering where he could buy an electric heater for Zhishu.

Ziyu Ai was a doctor, who was more meticulous than ordinary people. Besides, he loved Zhishu so deeply that he could give him the whole world. He wished that he could think of everything in advance right away and then Zhishu would not suffer any grievance.

Zhishu He was awake. He slept drowsily a lot on the way here. He had a short rest. He had been thinking about helping the doctor clean up the house unoccupied for a long time. However, it was surprisingly clean. So Zhishu went out for a walk. The view and environment was so nice that the air was fresh and sweet, temperate and humid. All was the same as deep in the memory, even clearer and brighter.

When Ziyu Ai came out, Zhishu He was showering the dog. It crawled out of the water and rolled in the mud. There was some foam on Zhishu He’s face. His clothes were mostly wet. He was in a good mood. It was the most beautiful eyes and brows curls that Ziyu Ai had ever seen as Zhishu was smiling.

“Okay, I’ll do the next. Take a shower and change your clothes. Later, we’ll go out for lunch.” Ziyu Ai was still afraid that Zhishu He might catch a cold after getting wet. He went to take the work quickly.

Zhishu He agreed, but did not leave immediately. He squatted aside and watched Ziyu Ai wash the dog. Ziyu Ai treated the dog so rudely that the dog barked all the time.

“Don’t be so rude to the dog.” Zhishu He turned his head to the doctor and said, “Foam flows into its eyes.” He reached out his hand to wipe away the foam in the dog’s eyes.

The dog was brought by Ziyu Ai to wash in a pet shop more often. It was a fight to wash the dog himself. At last, he played in the bathing work like a playful child. Zhishu He never complained. He washed the dog clean, with his eyes being mild and helpless.

“Zhishu, you are brilliant!” ZIyu Ai squatted beside the dog, and ingratiated himself with Zhishu in a gentle tone, just like a cute dog, wagging its tail with its eyes being loyal. It seemed that it could fight for you only with one look of you.

Zhishu He pursed his lips and looked away. He could not give Ziyu Ai any expectation. He would leave. Better a little loss than a long sorrow. It was better that he never got any hope than he lost after getting it.

Zhishu He had already learned to be smart.

The wine-steeped shrimp of Louwailou was the most classic. Ziyu Ai was lucky enough to reserve seats beside the window, where they could see the view of the West Lake. It was sunny. As usual, there were many people on the Broken Bridge.

Zhishu He just ate a little but focused on the views. As a student, he and Wenxu Jiang often came here in rainy days, especially in snowy days that were hard to see. Jiang took He by bike. Without a camera, Jiang could finally find out the best scenery for He to picture.

Zhishu He smiled softly. The weather was warm. Thinking of the past, it seemed as if life had been going smoothly all the time. They were good shining days.

Ziyu Ai felt the subtle changes of Zhishu He. He sat close to He, but failed to disturb He’s memory. He could do nothing but watch He’s mind wandering. The sunshine gave He’s eyelashes a golden glow. Ziyu Ai had no doubt that at this moment Zhishu He was satisfied and happy.

However, happiness only existed in memories. There was only disappointment and cold in reality. Ziyu Ai did not disturb He. As long as He could be happy for a bit long…even only with some memories, it would be a good thing for Ai.

This was good.
