“Your pulse is normal, calm and unhurried, neither floating nor sinking, neither slow nor rapid, neither fine nor surging, with a uniform rhythm,”
After taking his pulse for a while, Jiang Man said indifferently.
She paused, then observed Lu Xingzhou’s complexion, “Stick out your tongue for me to see.”
Lu Xingzhou’s expression was peculiar as he said awkwardly, “Do we really need to stick out the tongue?”
He felt it would damage his image.
Even the handsomest and coolest man would look ridiculous in the moment of sticking out his tongue.
He did not want Jiang Man to see his ridiculous side.
“You still don’t trust me,” Jiang Man shook her head and turned to pick up the medicine bowl that was on the desk.
She blew on the medicinal soup and took a sip, “This contains sour jujube kernel, acorus calamus, biota seed, polygonum amplexicaulum, polygala, and silk tree bark, I haven’t missed anything, have I?”
Lu Xingzhou was startled and sat bolt upright from the executive chair, “Wait a moment.”
Having said that, he leaned forward, pulled open the top drawer on the right side of the desk, and took out a medical record book from inside.
He flipped through the record, and there was a prescription on it. Although it was handwritten and the handwriting was sloppy, it was not difficult to identify upon careful observation.
Lu Xingzhou found the herbs Jiang Man had just mentioned from memory.
Sour jujube kernel, present.
Acorus calamus, also present.
His eyes lifted, shimmering with a faint light, “Say it again, what are the herbs?”
Jiang Man raised an eyebrow, patiently and without annoyance, repeated, “Sour jujube kernel, acorus calamus, biota seed, polygonum amplexicaulum, polygala, silk tree bark.”
When she had recited the prescription, the light in Lu Xingzhou’s eyes grew brighter, “All correct!”
He stared at the medical record book, and a complex emotion suddenly arose in his heart.
“I didn’t expect you to truly understand traditional Chinese medicine!”
“I’ve told you, I’m quite knowledgeable.”
“What is it that you can’t do?” Lu Xingzhou was instantly filled with curiosity, his gaze unblinkingly fixed on the girl in front of him.
She was clearly just 20 years old, yet she possessed a composure that belied her age, with a chilled gaze and a powerful aura.
Jiang Man frowned, pinched her chin and thought for a moment, “Yes, I can’t cook, and… I can’t ride a bicycle…”
As she said this, she lowered her head, her cheeks flushing red.
Not being able to ride a bicycle had been the subject of laughter by many people.
They all said, how could the boss be proficient in everything, yet fail to learn something as simple as riding a bicycle?
“What a coincidence, I can do both,” Lu Xingzhou said with a gentle smile.
Jiang Man had thought he would mock her like her other friends had.
But he did not.
The gloom on Lu Xingzhou’s face dissipated, replaced by tenderness, “I can cook for you, I can ride a bike with you.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Man looked up in astonishment.
“Please, Mr. Lu, you are too distinguished, time is money, I wouldn’t dare to waste your time,” Jiang Man immediately said, quickly changing the subject, “Let’s not digress, let’s talk about your condition.”
Lu Xingzhou nodded, his smile fading, and he became serious at once, “To tell you the truth, I’ve lost all memory of anything before I was eight. Ever since I could remember, from the age of eight, I’ve been repeatedly experiencing the same dream, this nightmare follows me like a shadow, like an invisible ghost haunting me for twenty-two years.”
“Hmm,” Jiang Man listened very seriously, nodding from time to time in response.
Lu Xingzhou fell into deep thought, his stern profile cast in a sinister light under the lamp, “I’ve asked my grandmother, even others about things before I turned eight, and they all remained tight-lipped. Afterwards, I had people look into it but found nothing. I have a premonition that this nightmare is related to the memories I’ve lost.”
“Have you tried hypnotism? Hypnotism can awaken the hidden memories in the subconscious,” Jiang Man said softly.
“I’ve tried, but every time it’s the same nightmare that wakes me up in a fright,” he explained.
“Then would you be willing to trust me? I can hypnotize you,” Jiang Man’s eyes were clear as water, washing away the coldness and gaining a touch of gentleness.
She took Lu Xingzhou’s hand. “Since we’ve been married, you’ve always taken good care of me. I want to return the favor and help cure your illness.”
“You…” Lu Xingzhou lifted his gaze, which was as intense as a torch.
The curling smoke from the incense stick, and the girl’s cool face gained a few traces of tender warmth like water.
Her hand held his, and for some reason, it felt as if he’d been bewitched, bringing an unprecedented sense of peace to his heart.
“Alright, just tell me what to do, and I’ll cooperate,” Lu Xingzhou agreed almost without hesitation.
Jiang Man curved her lips slightly. “My hypnotism is different from others. Lie down, and I’ll massage your acupoints to help you fall asleep.”
“Okay,” Lu Xingzhou set aside his suspicions and leaned back in the chair.
Jiang Man glanced at the wafting blue smoke from the incense burner; it was good smoke, ideally suited for aiding in dream induction.
She moved around to the back of his chair, extending a pair of slender, clear-white hands.
Warm fingertips rested beside the man’s temples, circling gently and rhythmically.
Her voice, faint as the surrounding smoke, wound around him. “Breathe deeply, you are now in complete darkness, and in that darkness, there’s a door. You want to open it and find out what’s behind…”
About five minutes passed before Lu Xingzhou entered the hypnotized state.
He pushed open the door, and instantly, a bloody red scene unfolded before him, two hideous faces lunging at him, making him retreat repeatedly in terror.
In previous hypnosis sessions, he would always wake up at this point.
But this time was different.
“Lu Xingzhou, don’t be afraid, I’m here,” she reassured him.
He felt someone holding his hand.
Turning his head, he saw Jiang Man standing beside him, giving him a slight smile.
“Let’s walk through this blood-red corridor hand in hand. It’ll be alright once we get through. You trust me, right? With me here, they won’t harm you.”
Lu Xingzhou stared at the girl, seemingly spellbound, and nodded as if possessed.
He squeezed Jiang Man’s hand tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his marrow.
The ghastly faces drew closer, but for some reason, when Jiang Man lifted her hand, they scattered as if terrified.
Once the bloody path was traversed, it was like parting the clouds to see the sky.
Lu Xingzhou looked incredulously at everything before him. On an overpass, a car was wrecked, ablaze with fierce flames, a young woman leaped from the burning vehicle, hugging a seven- or eight-year-old child in a desperate escape.
The car exploded with a roar, and the woman was blown to pieces.
But even at death’s door, she never let go, protecting the child in her embrace tightly.
At last, the ambulance and police cars arrived.
Lu Xingzhou’s eyes widened as he saw his grandmother, his second uncle and aunt, and his aunt crying uncontrollably while holding a child covered in wounds.
“I’m sorry, the man in the car died instantly. He and his wife could have escaped, but the child’s seat belt malfunctioned. The couple delayed their escape trying to save the child,” they were told.
“Fortunately, the child was saved, though he may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder afterward.”
“Who are you?”
“Zhou’er, I’m your grandmother,” came a voice.
Images overlapped before his eyes, voices echoed in his ears.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Lu Xingzhou awoke from the hypnotism with a start, opening his eyes…
