Shen Xi nodded somewhat awkwardly. Then, Su Han and Shen Yan left the ward.
Su Han thoughtfully closed the door for the young couple. As the door closed, she enthusiastically gestured to her son, cheering him on.
Guan Lei smiled, retracting his gaze, only to find Shen Xi glaring at him as if her eyes could shoot daggers.
Even so, Guan Lei was reluctant to let go of Shen Xi’s hand. He spoke with a hint of grievance, “Xi, since you lost your memory of me, this is the first time you’ve shown concern for me.”
Images from the afternoon flashed in Shen Xi’s mind—Guan Lei standing up for her against Xiang Cheng, then taking her to a meal at Auspicious Dragon Hall.
There was also the brawl in the high school restroom, where she fought with
Peach and others. Guan Lei kicked the door open, anxiously asking if she was okay.
They must have just met back then, as Guan Lei in her memories didn’t know Zhao Yuan and a.s.sumed she was one of the bullies. He even ordered Zhao Yuan to face the wall.
And when she left, Guan Lei reminded her to fix her clothes because they were torn during the fight, revealing her bra.
Thinking of these memories, a faint smile appeared on Shen Xi’s face.
However, Shen Xi could confirm that, at that time, she had no feelings for Guan Lei. As for whether Guan Lei had any feelings for her, Shen Xi had no idea.
These memories didn’t exist in her previous recollections, but their sudden appearance indicated that her memories with Gu Chen were indeed false.
Guan Lei was a bit bewildered, wondering why Shen Xi, who seemed fine just now, suddenly broke into a foolish smile.
Guan Lei wanted to move closer to Shen Xi, but as he shifted his body slightly, a sharp pain from his wounds prompted him to let out a soft “hiss.” That sound brought Shen Xi hack to reality from her memories.
Shen Xi was relieved that she had taken painkillers earlier. Otherwise, recalling the past might have caused heartache and headaches.
Annoyed with the fidgety Guan Lei, Shen Xi coldly said, “Don’t you know you’re injured? Why are you moving around?”
Shen Xi initially wanted to use a gentler tone, but facing the not-so-familiar Guan Lei, she couldn’t express concern with a soft and warm voice. She had to convey her words in this manner.
Despite her stern words, when she saw Guan Lei trying to sit up, Shen Xi still gently approached to help him up.
Her awkward demeanor only made Guan Lei more delighted.
Leaning against the pillow, Guan Lei held Shen Xi’s hand, “Xi, even though your tone is harsh, I know you care about me. I appreciate it and I’m happy.”
Shen Xi didn’t respond to Guan Lei’s words. Instead, she awkwardly said, “Quit it, stop behaving like a hooligan. Can you let go of me now? Otherwise, I’ll leave right away!’
Reluctantly, Guan Lei released Shen Xi’s hand. Guan Lei understood the choice between a brief moment of holding hands and enduring companionship.
“After you regain your memory, I want to stay by your side every day. I’ll make up for all the distance you’ve kept from me during this time. You have to compensate me!” Guan Lei muttered with resentment.
His pitiful appearance, coupled with his currently pale face, presented a stark contrast to the image of the Guan family’s Young Master.
Seeing Guan Lei like this, Shen Xi, perhaps influenced by the recent memories, no longer felt surprised, bewildered, or speechless. Instead, she found Guan Lei a bit cute and amusing.
Guan Lei’s eyes gleamed with hope. As someone who always paid attention to Shen Xi’s emotions, how could he not notice the difference in her eyes now?
Before, it was distant, cold, and resistant, but just now, Shen Xi hadn’t forcefully pulled her hand away.
Guan Lei didn’t know what happened, but this change made him ecstatic.
Yet, before he could savor the happiness, Shen Xi gave him a disdainful look and said, “If it weren’t for your injuries, you wouldn’t be so easily forgiven for being a rogue.”
Shen Xi got up and sat apart from Guan Lei, keeping a slight distance.
Guan Lei just chuckled, looking incredibly foolish.
Shen Xi couldn’t help but wonder if in the missing part of her memory, Guan
Lei was always this silly..
