Yin Shaojie touched her forehead.
“Xiaoxiao, call me that again, alright?” he coaxed her.
Mu Xiaoxiao batted her eyes in a daze as though she didn’t understand what he was saying.
She opened her eyes to look at him and called out, “Hubby?”
It wasn’t what he wanted to hear. Yin Shaojie’s spirit fell.
It seemed like she hadn’t fully regained her memory. Perhaps it was only her habitual response when she was in a dazed state?
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed his lack of spirits. She sat up, looked into his eyes, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Why did it feel as though he didn’t like her calling him that?
He was clearly the one who told her that was the way she usually called him.
Could there be a problem?
“Nothing.” Yin Shaojie forced a smile. He reached out to stroke her hair and said, “Okay, go brush your teeth and wash your face. The breakfast should be here soon.”
Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes were still doubtful. But seeing as he didn’t seem to want to continue talking about this topic, she didn’t ask him further.
However, the more he tried to evade the issue, the more worried she felt.
What happened just now?
Just then, the doorbell rang. Yin Shaojie said that the breakfast was here and he went to open the door.
Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, staring into s.p.a.ce, thinking about something.
“The breakfast is here. Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?” he asked her as he stood at the entrance.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. “No, I’m going now.”
In the washroom.
Facing the mirror, she brushed her teeth and stared at herself. She unconsciously reached out her hand to touch the mirror.
For some reason, she heard his voice in her head, a deep, husky voice saying, “Xiaoxiao, is that you…”
Caught off guard, she felt a jolt in her heart.
Bewildered, she stared at herself in the mirror and muttered, “Am I not Xiaoxiao?”
Otherwise, why would he ask her that?
…
When Mu Xiaoxiao came out of the washroom, she saw Yin Shaojie talking over the phone. Noticing that she was coming, he waved at her.
She went up to the seat in front of him and sat down. He pushed a bowl of porridge to her and motioned for her to eat.
“I’ll be there. Later.” Yin Shaojie hung up the call.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up at him, and she asked anxiously, “Where are you going?”
Was he going to leave her alone at home?
She became gloomy at the thought of that.
“I’m going to school,” he replied and told her to eat quickly.
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. She ate sluggishly and seemed listless.
“What’s the matter?” he asked her upon noticing how she was acting.
Mu Xiaoxiao snorted. “Are you going to leave me alone at home? If you’re going out, I’ll go out too.”
Yin Shaojie chuckled. “When did I say that I’m going to leave you behind? I’m going to school. Of course you’re coming too.”
Now that she had lost her memory, she would never let him leave her side.
Mu Xiaoxiao was happy upon hearing that. It turned out that he didn’t want to leave her behind.
Yin Shaojie explained, “I didn’t want to go at first, but there is something I have to personally deal with, so I have to go. If you don’t like it, then I’ll come get you after I’m done settling the business.”
“No! I want to go out,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, shaking her head. Her eyes were lit as she smiled gleefully.
