However, the next day, his friend sees Cheng Xiaonan with red eyes, and he asks, "She went to Stanford University in Germany to pursue her Ph.D." His friend is confused and says, "Stanford is in the United States, right?" Yu Qian returns to China to participate in a private dress show. She walks gracefully in a silk robe that sways with her movement. Suddenly, someone steps on the train of her robe from behind. Yu Qian turns her head and sees Cheng Xiaonan. He asks, "Do you still remember me?" Yu Qian smiles tenderly and points to her temple, saying, "I had a car accident a few years ago." Cheng Xiaonan mistakenly believes that Yu Qian has amnesia and decides to pursue her again. As he pursues her, he realizes that the car accident she mentioned... seems to have been her bike hitting the green belt? Can someone really have amnesia like this?
