"Xiao Chen?! Oh, dear God! Are you fine, dear?!"
Following that feminine voice, Zhan Chen's body was assaulted with a warm body as he was hugged tightly. Still in confusion, he could only stand there doing nothing as the male – this beautiful person is it a man or woman? – touching and groped him here and there.
Finally, re-gathering his senses, he backed away from the beautiful person – man or woman, he was still confused – and stared at them, his huge black orbs filled with confusion and slight fear. "W-What are you doing?"
The beautiful person looked at him with concern, "Xiao Chen, this is mother. Don't you remember your own mother?"
"Mother... But, I don't have a mother..." Zhan Chen said still confused. He was an orphan, there was no way this person was his mother. Also, that meant... This person was a woman. No wondered she was so beautiful.
Though, her chest was too flat for a woman.
The 'woman' gasped, 'her' eyes widening in worry. "Old Shen said you were fine but..." Tears suddenly filled 'her' eyes. "My ger son, my child ah! Oh, dear God... How could you be this cruel to this innocent child ah? Xiao Chen," 'she' said as 'she' hugged him to 'her' flat chest crying, "Xiao Chen, mother promises that he would find the best healer to cure your temporary amnesia... Wuwuwu..."
Hm... This chest was too flat for a woman ba. Before Zhan Chen could comprehend further that this beautiful 'woman' might actually a man... Another voice interrupted his thinking.
"Xiu'er, why are you crying?"
A man that looked in his late twenties - though, the father he assumed might be older because right now, the original body (ger son) looked like he was in his seventeen - with a height about 190 cm and had a muscular but lean body type entered. The man was very handsome and manly. A pair of phoenix eyes, sword eyebrows, straight and high nose bridge, thin lips, sharp jaw and clear skin... He was the definition of every woman's (man's) dream man! Zhan Chen was so jealous that he just kept staring at the man.
"Ah, Xiao Chen. It's good that you've woken up. Does Xiao Chen feel uncomfortable anywhere? Want Father to call a healer?" The man kept babbling in concern as he checked his ger son over and over. After he made sure that Zhan Chen was fine, then, he heaved a relief sigh.
Eh, Father? If he wasn't deaf, this man just called himself his father.
"Dear! Xiao Chen is not okay! He has forgotten about me! Me! His mother!" Xiu'er or his fullname, Bai Xiu Ying clung to his husband's arms, sobbing heavily. "How could he forgotten about his mother?"
The man, his 'father' frowned, "Xiao Chen, was what your mother said correct? Do you still remember me?"
Zhan Chen was still in shock and confusion, just shook his head left and right. He said very slowly and unsurely. "...Who are you guys?" He paused and continued, "I don't have parents. They were already died since I could remember. I lived in an orphanage until I was seventeen."
Both males spotted a horror look on their faces. This was not the case of simple amnesia anymore! This was beyond their explanation! How could them, the perfectly healthy parents were suddenly died in their ger son's mind?
Bai Xiu Ying sobbed even harder as he pushed his husband to the side and went to hug their child.
The husband, whose name was Bai Jian Yu, was the Master of Bai House, frowned even deeper as he quickly went out and called a servant to summon the old healer.
It took half an hour before Old Master Shen arrived.
"Master Bai, what is the matter?" The old healer bowed slightly at the Bai's family head.
Bai Jian Yu frowned as he stared down at the shorter old man, "Old Shen, I believe that the other day you said my child was fine."
The confused old healer just nodded his head. "From this old healer's previous checkup, Young Lady Zhan Chen is indeed very healthy."
"I want you to check again. My ger son just woke up today and he said he didn't remember us, his parents. He even told us he didn't have parents and he was an orphan." Bai Jian Yu said, his voice low and threatening.
Old Master Shen who had lived his life far longer than this middle -aged man in front of him, shivered as he quickly nodded his gray head like chicken eating rice. He was a famous healer but in front of this fierce general, he was nothing. The old man felt like crying ba!
Bai Jian Yu was known as a fearless General of Xian Dynasty and had fought for the previous Emperor also current Emperor and brought back the victory to their country making their Emperor the ruler of this entire empire; which contained four more countries beside them.
Most soldiers and people knew that this man was very stern and cold to the others except his family.
Running for the familiar bedroom, the old healer sweated as he arrived and knocked on the door. Bai Jian Yu was behind him, walking in fast strides.
.
After a few minutes of checking, Old Master Shen frowned, making his wrinkles even more profound. He asked the beautiful young ger some questions.
Receiving only the negative replies... Old Master Shen sighed. He turned back at a pair of husband and wife. Standing up, he gave a signal to the two to talk outside of the room.
Once they were out, Old Shen's expression turned grave. "I have checked your son's vitals but the outcome is still the same. He is very healthy and there seems nothing wrong with his head."
Bai Xiu Ying interrupted. "But how?! There is no way Xiao Chen is fine!"
"Xiu'er, calm down first," After saying that Bai Jian Yu pulled his wife towards him and hugged the smaller male. The smaller male just sobbed, hiding his face in his husband's chest. "Old Master Shen."
Hearing the stern voice, the old healer gulped down nervously. "Y-Yes?"
"Old Master Shen is really sure with the examination?"
Old Master Shen could only reply while crying inside, "This old man is very sure ah! In this old man's eighty years working as a healer, I've never made such a simple mistake."
Bai Jian Yu leveled up his glare and asked in a grave voice while his hand rubbing his wife's back softly. "You're the best healer in this empire and if you have said this, what about the other healers?"
Feeling guilty, the old man bowed down his head. "I apologize. I've tried my best but I really couldn't find any problem..." He paused uncertainly.
"What do you want to say?" Having a sharp mind and eyes, Bai Jian Yu quickly knew that the old healer might say something useful.
"... Pardon me," Old Master Shen paused and said carefully, "If there's nothing wrong physically, then... It could be the problem of heart(emotionally)." He looked up at the general and said slowly, "It might be caused by what happened seven years ago."
