“l just happened to witness the attack, so I stayed with Xi. The doctor said that during the resuscitation, Shen Xi might have taken me as a source of psychological security, which is why she was holding onto me so tightly now,” Gu Chen explained patiently.
His tone was calm, as if he were merely stating a fact.
Guan Lei shifted his gaze to Shen Yan and Lu Shan.
Both of them nodded in resignation, confirming what Gu Chen had said.
Guan Lei furrowed his brow in disbelief. How could this be?
Guan Lei sat on the other side of Shen Xi’s hospital bed, as if he were challenging Gu Chen, and took Shen Xi’s other hand.
Just then, Shen Xi’s eyes moved, and slowly, in the anticipation of everyone, she opened them.
Lu Shan quickly approached Shen Xi, anxiously asking, “Xi, how are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?”
Shen Xi’s gaze remained a bit hazy as it slowly sharpened on Lu Shan. She asked with a hint of confusion, “Mom? Mom, what happened to me?”
Upon hearing Shen Xi’s words, Lu Shan felt a wave of relief. She still recognized people, indicating that there might not be any major issues with her mind.
At this moment, Shen Yan also asked hurriedly, “Xi, what about me? Who am I?”
Shen Xi furrowed her brow and looked at Shen Yan as if he were a bit silly, then replied, “Dad, what’s wrong with you? Why are you asking such strange questions?”
Shen Yan and his wife finally relaxed. Everything was fine, and it was all that mattered.
Guan Lei’s heart also eased a bit, and he said, holding Shen Xi’s hand, “Xi, you scared me. Thank goodness you’re okay.”
Shen Xi’s gaze turned somewhat wooden as she looked at Guan Lei, then furrowed her brow and said, “Guan Lei?”
Before Guan Lei could respond, Shen Xi coldly withdrew her hand from his grip and said, “Guan Lei, I’ve already told you, I’m with Gu Chen now. In the future, we should keep our distance.”
Shen Xi’s words hit like a bomb, exploding in everyone’s hearts.
The most incredulous person among them was Guan Lei, who asked in disbelief, “Xi, what are you saying? You’re with Gu Chen now?”
At that moment, Gu Chen, in a cautious tone, asked, “Xi, did you make a mistake?”
Shen Xi turned to look at Gu Chen, her expression initially confused, but her eyes gradually cleared.
“Gu Chen, what mistake? Didn’t we agree to be together? Didn’t we say that once we have our medical checkup tomorrow, we’d tell our parents? What’s wrong? Are you having second thoughts? Do you want to abandon me like you did four years ago?” Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen, her eyes full of anger.
As Shen Xi spoke, she became increasingly agitated, vehemently shaking off Gu Chen’s hand and clutching her head, which was starting to hurt a bit. She continued, “Gu Chen, if you dare…”
Before Shen Xi could finish her sentence, Gu Chen quickly grabbed her hand and said, “Xi, calm down. 1 won’t abandon you. We’ll be together forever. Just calm down, please.”
Guan Lei was stunned in place, unable to comprehend how his relationship with Shen Xi had suddenly turned into a matter between Gu Chen and Shen Xi.
Even Shen Yan and Lu Shan, who were standing nearby, were dumbfounded. Just a couple of days ago, Shen Xi had been deeply in love with Guan Lei, and they had already convinced their parents to support them.
How could this have happened today?
Lu Shan pulled Gu Chen aside and held Shen Xi’s hand, asking, “Xi, think about it carefully. Four years ago, who were you with? And who are you with
Shen Xi looked at Lu Shan with confusion and said, “Mom, why are you asking this question? It’s obviously Gu Chen. We agreed a few days ago that once Gu Chen and I complete the medical checkup as you suggested, we’d be together, didn’t we?”
At this point, everyone realized that there was indeed something wrong with Shen Xi’s memory.
Guan Lei’s suspicious gaze turned to Gu Chen, and his voice grew stern as he questioned, “Gu Chen, did you do something?”
“l have no idea what’s going on. Maybe we should have Xi examined by a doctor?” Gu Chen replied, looking innocent.
Shen Xi impatiently said, “Examine what? There’s nothing wrong with me.. Why are you all acting so weird?”
