Chapter 1218: Chapter 12: The Pearl Collector and the Princess
And so, this mysterious man stayed at Li Anqing’s house, where Li Anqing found a doctor to treat him. After three days of unconsciousness, the man finally woke up.
Upon waking, his eyes met a pair of clear eyes.
Li Qinghe looked at the awakened man and grinned. Hey, this man’s eyes are quite beautiful too. Li Qinghe got up, poured a cup of warm water for the man, and helped him drink it. Then, picking up a pen and paper, she wrote: "Who are you? What is your name?"
The man gradually came to his senses and, after reading the words on Li Qinghe’s paper, was somewhat surprised.
"Did you save me?" the man’s voice was a bit hoarse.
Li Qinghe nodded and shook the paper in her hand.
"Ah... Who am I?" The man frowned, looking pained.
"Can’t remember?" Li Qinghe wrote again.
The maid who came in to deliver medicine saw the man was awake and went to fetch Li Anqing.
Soon Li Anqing came in and said to the man struggling to sit up: "You’re finally awake. You’ve been unconscious for three days. My daughter saved you. My daughter cannot speak."
The man looked at Li Qinghe with some surprise. Such a beautiful girl, and she couldn’t speak? What a pity.
"No need for your pity. Alright, let’s get to the point. Who are you? How did you fall into the sea?" Li Anqing sat down and asked.
"I can’t remember. I can’t even remember who I am," the man said, frowning bitterly.
Li Qinghe quickly wrote on the side and handed it to Li Anqing.
"Then let’s give him a name, like Li Gou Dan." Li Qinghe wrote with a smile, showing it to Li Anqing and then to the man.
The man’s body stiffened imperceptibly.
"That name is too unpleasant," Li Anqing waved his hand, "let’s call him Ah Hai, since you saved him from the sea."
Li Qinghe nodded, not opposing.
"Ah Hai, just rest for now. I’ll send someone to inquire about your family. Recuperate first," Li Anqing comforted.
"Thank you very much," the man said, clasping his hands in gratitude.
Li Anqing waved his hand, signaling for Ah Hai to rest, and took Li Qinghe out. He led Li Qinghe to her study, closed the door, and asked, "Sweetheart, what do you think?"
"He’s not speaking the truth. Dad, do you believe he has amnesia?" Li Qinghe wrote.
"Oh, it’s not so easy to get amnesia, as if it were just writing a novel." Li Anqing nodded and continued to ask, "So, sweetheart, do you still want him as your husband? He’s not very honest."
"Let’s wait and see. Neither you nor I like people of such foolishness," Li Qinghe wrote calmly.
"..." That’s quite logical; I find myself speechless. Somehow, I feel my daughter has grown into a sesame paste bun. Li Anqing looked at Li Qinghe’s calm expression and felt he was less composed than his daughter.
Ah Hai’s injuries gradually recovered, but he still couldn’t remember who he was. Li Anqing initially wanted to send people to investigate, but seeing Ah Hai did not seem anxious, and his daughter remained calm, he decided not to hurry in investigating. He thought it best to see what Ah Hai had up his sleeve first.
After Ah Hai’s injuries healed, he diligently helped with the Li family’s affairs. More diligent than the family servants, although initially, he was not good at many tasks, but after being taught, he quickly learned and became skilled. Ah Hai’s specialty was chopping wood; with one axe swing, the wood was evenly split.
