Fang Xi pensively nodded. “Ye Kun… He’s been by my bedside, accompanying me all this time, hasn’t he? I could always hear him speak, but not clearly. I don’t remember what he said, but whenever I couldn’t walk any further in that dark place, I thought, ‘There’s someone out there who loves me so much, so I mustpersevere. I have to make my way out!’ I thought I would see that person who loves me so much when I opened my eyes, but no luck.”
Yun Nan laughed and cried at the same time. “Fang Xi, that’s great. So you did sense him! We really, really owe a lot to Ye Kun! Fang Xi, I’ll go call Ye Kun over!”
Yun Nan quickly ran out, dragged Ye Kun into the ward, and excitedly said,
“Fang Xi, she remembers Tuan Tuan. Quick! Go talk with Fang Xi!”
With that, Yun Nan left the two alone to talk. Fang Xi and Ye Kun stared at each other quietly. Ye Kun didn’t even dare to breathe too heavily; he was afraid that the lively Fang Xi before him would again be lying unconscious on the bed with the blink of an eye.
Fang Xi frowned. “Aren’t you happy that I’m awake? Or are you unhappy because I don’t remember you?” she asked in a disgruntled and teasing tone.
Flowers bloomed in Ye Kun’s heart. “No, of course, I’m happy!” he hurriedly reassured her. “I’m crazy happy that you’re awake. It doesn’t matter that you don’t remember me; what matters is that you’re awake. I’ll be right there with you anyway and let you get to know me again. We can start over anew. Nothing else matters as long as you’re alive and awake!”
Ye Kun was so anxious that his voice trembled as he spoke. ‘He looks a little silly,’ Fang Xi thought, her heart suddenly feeling warm and safe for some reason.
Ye Kun carefully reached out and held Fang Xi in his arms. “Fang Xi,” he murmured. “You’re finally awake, aren’t you? You won’t go back to sleep again, will you?”
Fang Xi breathed in deeply. Ye Kun had a fresh smell of the forest on him. It was the scent she often smelled in her dreams. She felt inexplicably at ease in his arms, surrounded by his scent, and nodded gently.
“I loved you very much, didn’t I?” Fang Xi asked softly.
Ye Kun let go of her and looked at her. Fang Xi’s eyes were crystal clear as she said, “I must have loved you very much. When I was exhausted and couldn’t walk or crawl anymore in that dream, I could always hear you encourage and beg me to keep going. I know you love me very much.”
Fang Xi continued, “I thought to myself then, ‘I can’t give up when someone out there loves me so much. You’ll be quite sad ifI give up.’ I think I must love you very much; that’s why I gritted my teeth and persevered. Although we’re a little unfamiliar with each other now, you don’t mind that I’ve forgotten all the nice things you’ve done for me and all the sweet times we’ve had together in the past, right?”
Ye Kun embraced Fang Xi again and chokingly replied, “I don’t mind! I don’t mind it at all! Fang Xi, nothing is more important than you being alive! It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember—let the past be the past. We still have a
present and a future together. I can treat you well all over again. Let’s start over anew!” Ye Kun was overwhelmed by the exultation of recovering his lost love. To him, nothing was more important than Fang Xi waking up!
Fang Xi was in fine spirits. Although her memory was a blank slate, Fang Xi absorbed everything like a sponge as she listened to her friends’ narrations and asked about her past.
The good news was that, with the re-infusion of these ‘stories,’ Fang Xi could vaguely recall some of her past. However, she never asked about her parents or how she got into that car accident, thus completely removing her relatives and Xi Cheng from her world.
Fang Xi’s situation probably belonged in this category. As for whether she would remember those memories in the future, that would depend on Fang Xi herself.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief but couldn’t help but feel worried when they thought of the people and things Fang Xi had forgotten. Mr. MO comforted everyone, stating, “1 think Ye Kun did good. We shouldn’t be overly anxious about things that haven’t happened. Accidents are accidents because they happen when we least expect them to, so let’s take things as they come. As long as Fang Xi is healthy and happy, the rest is nothing to worry about.”
“I believe that even if she remembers those upsetting things from her past, she can face them bravely. As her friends and family, we only have to protect and give her our blessings. The Fang Xi I know is a strong and brave person. We have to believe in her and be her stalwart supporters!”
Fang Xi was soon discharged from the hospital. Mr. MO insisted she move to his house and refused to let her stay in her rented apartment. He claimed that it was inappropriate for her and Ye Kun to live opposite each other as fiancé and fiancée, when in fact, he was preparing for Fang Xi’s wedding.
Ye Kun valued love and friendship, and the Ye family was the understanding sort; they’d already put the couple’s marriage on the agenda..
