Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Jingzhe was stunned. This wasn’t for any other reason, but because it was all too familiar. Both his figure and vibe were almost identical. It was all so familiar that Mu Jingzhe didn’t dare move, afraid that this was all an illusion.

“Patient Mu Jingzhe?” A familiar voice spoke in her ear again. Mu Jingzhe suddenly came back to her senses. Upon looking at those familiar eyes, she pinched herself.

This was real. It hurt. She wasn’t dreaming.

The familiar surname, figure, voice, and eyes seemed to be telling Mu Jingzhe something. He might be Ji Buwang.

Because Mu Jingzhe’s reaction wasn’t right, Doctor Ji frowned and took two steps forward to check. However, just as he stepped forward, the patient suddenly reached out and pulled down his mask.

Doctor Ji frowned. The doctor behind him couldn’t help but want to say something, but he saw that the patient’s face was suddenly covered in tears. Her expression was so sad that he froze on the spot.

What was wrong with her?

Mu Jingzhe was actually happy. Upon looking at those familiar eyes, she couldn’t help but take off his mask to finally see the face behind it.

It really was Ji Buwang.

Mu Jingzhe instantly burst into tears. She had finally found Ji Buwang. She finally got to see him again.

He was alive and well, not lying there lifelessly. He was alive.

Mu Jingzhe had never thought that Ji Buwang would live in the same world as her. Back when she had told Ji Buwang that she had come from 30 years into the future, Ji Buwang had said that if she dared to die, he would look for her 30 years later. Now, she had finally found him.

Everything was like a dream, a dream in which all her wishes had come true. However, Mu Jingzhe knew that this wasn’t a dream because if it was, she wouldn’t be able to see Ji Buwang.

In the remaining years of her previous life, she had missed him like a river. Her only hope had been that she would dream of him when she was sleeping, but he was completely gone. He hadn’t even appeared in her dreams.

She hadn’t seen him for forty years.

Forty years. It had been so long that even if she looked at his photo, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to recognize him in the future.

After forty years, she had finally seen him again.

Xiao Shiliu hadn’t expected Mu Jingzhe to react so abnormally and tear off the doctor’s mask for no reason. This was her savior.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Mu Jingzhe speak.

“Ji Buwang.”

Xiao Shiliu was a little stunned. Because everyone called him ‘Doctor Ji’, she hadn’t noticed his full name, but the doctors behind him knew it.

“How does she know Doctor Ji’s name? Does she know him?”

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t hear their discussion, nor could Ji Buwang.

The moment Mu Jingzhe called out his name, his world suddenly became clear and he could see her face clearly.

However, everything changed after she called his name.

Ji Buwang looked at her face and didn’t react for a long time.

He’d had face blindness since he was young. He could see everyone’s faces, but he’d forget them as soon as he saw them. They wouldn’t leave an impression in his mind.

He had clearly been called a genius since he was young, as he could remember everything quickly and had routinely skipped grades in school. Although he had turned from a young genius into the most promising doctor, he had spent less time than the average person.

However, despite his exceptional brain, he couldn’t remember people’s faces. He could only rely on their voices and physique to distinguish them.

Fortunately, although he was face-blind and couldn’t remember people’s faces, that didn’t affect his ability to treat illnesses and observe facial expressions. The only problem was that he couldn’t remember a face after seeing it.

However, after so many years, when she called out his name, he could suddenly see her face clearly and remember it distinctly.

Ji Buwang stared at Mu Jingzhe in a daze and couldn’t help but recall a dream he had been having for a long time.

He always dreamed of a person. A girl, to be specific. They seemed to be trapped somewhere, and he could see her face. In his dreams, under the faint light, his gaze traced her face and he memorized it bit by bit.

“We have to be together in our next life, so God, please don’t let me forget her face. I just have to remember her face.”

He was extremely anxious and he only hoped to remember her face. In the end, he muttered that he didn’t want to forget her.

In the past, Ji Buwang hadn’t been called Ji Buwang. He had been called Ji?Tiancai¹?because his parents thought that he was a genius. However, after being given this name, he’d kept feeling that this wasn’t his name. Every time they’d called him that, he hadn’t reacted at all.

Later on, when he had gone to school, seeing that he would never write his name or respond when his name was called, the teacher had gone to look for his parents. After a few conversations, upon learning about his dream, the teacher had suggested that it might be better to give him a new name.

Then, he had changed his name to Ji?Buwang¹, implying that he didn’t want to forget her.

After he had changed his name, that sense of feeling had disappeared and he had begun to feel a sense of belonging. Since then, he had responded whenever he was called by his name and written his name in class and during exams.

However, despite changing his name, he would still forget what she looked like when he woke up.

As he grew older, the dream became clearer and clearer. In the dream, he could clearly remember her face, but when he woke up, he couldn’t remember it anymore.

Ji Buwang had already given up on this dream, yet he had suddenly seen her face now.

This was the first time he saw a person’s face so clearly. This was the first time he remembered a face. Then, the face that he had dreamed of but forgotten upon waking up finally became clear.

It was her. It was that face.

He dreamed of this face every night. This was the face he wanted to remember no matter what.

Ji Buwang didn’t understand why he had to remember this face. It wasn’t a pretty face. Besides, she had been hospitalized after getting into a car accident, so her face was pale and haggard. In combination with the fact that she was wailing and her face was covered in tears, she didn’t look good no matter how he looked at her. However, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

This was because he had seen it. The face he had been chasing for more than twenty years had finally appeared before him.

He had waited so long for the moment she’d finally appear.

Everything seemed like destiny. Her not-very-pretty face and her tears instantly tugged at his heart and soul. After a moment, he couldn’t help but say, “Stop crying.”

He fumbled in his pocket for a tissue and handed it over. He then blurted out, “I don’t want to see you cry. I want to see you smile instead.”

The doctors behind him and the nurse who had followed him in were shocked when they heard this. Doctor Ji had actually said such a thing?

Ji Buwang was also stunned after saying that. He didn’t know why he had said that. Fortunately, it seemed to be effective, as she finally stopped crying.

However, a second later, tears streamed down Mu Jingzhe’s face again.

In his previous life, he had wanted to see her cry. In this life, he had said that he wanted to see her smile. It felt so nice.

Ji Buwang: “…”

Why was she even sadder now that he’d said that? He suddenly felt anxious. “You…”

Seeing that he was anxious, Mu Jingzhe raised her hand and wiped her face. Her tears had yet to dry, but she revealed the most brilliant smile.

“Alright, I won’t cry anymore. If you want to see me smile, I’ll smile for you.”

Ji Buwang couldn’t help but laugh when he saw her smile.
