"Lingxiao?" Xie Yuhua asked tentatively.

"What's wrong?" Ling Xiao turned around and asked when he heard the voice.

"Would you like some water?" Xie Yuhua asked, holding a nine-section whip and an Emei dagger in her hand.

"No need, thank you!" Ling Xiao said, then turned his head back to where he was, his tone full of distance and politeness.

Xie Yuhua placed the weapon on the table, walked to the bedside and sat down. He took Ling Xiao's hand and could feel Ling Xiao's hand stiffen for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether to pull it back, but he quickly gave in.

Jieyuhua felt a slight tremor in her heart; the child was still blaming him, wasn't he?

"Can you tell me what happened after Chen Pi took you away? And what about the children? Why were they placed next to you?" Xie Yuhua asked softly.

Ling Xiao withdrew his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I can't answer you." What was he talking about? What dried tangerine peel? What child?

“Ling Xiao, I think this is something that can be said. As your boyfriend, I have the right to know.” Xie Yuhua’s emotions were somewhat agitated.

"Boyfriend?" Ling Xiao asked, frowning. His tone was questioning, yet it sounded like he was accusing someone.

How come he didn't know he had a partner? Why can't he remember anything? Considering that he didn't even remember his own name at the beginning, Ling Xiao quickly came to the conclusion that he had amnesia, and the cause of his amnesia was likely related to the dried tangerine peel that his 'boyfriend' had just mentioned.

Perhaps, to find out what really happened, we need to find this dried tangerine peel first.

"You... I know I didn't protect you well, and it's normal for you to blame me, but I don't think we've come to this point." Xie Yuhua panicked when she heard the child's questioning tone, and even her words seemed somewhat incoherent.

Ling Xiao raised his hand to interrupt Xie Yuhua, and asked succinctly, "Where is Chen Pi?"

Jieyuhua paused. Ling Xiao was different from before. Although Ling Xiao was occasionally crazy, he was mostly well-behaved, especially when he was around him. His attitude had never been so sharp as it was now. He had the aura of a superior being, and his presence was full of auras that kept strangers away.

Although this imposing manner did not affect him at all, it was the first time he had ever seen a child like this. Even when they first met, the child had never acted like this. The person who was clinging to him and acting cute yesterday had become like this today. Xie Yuhua did not know what to feel in his heart.

People always like to judge the authenticity of so-called love through separation and death.

For some reason, a sentence suddenly flashed through Ling Xiao's mind. He remembered that this person had been holding him and saying something, calling his name over and over again. This person would cry when he was injured. When this person cried, his heart would feel heavy and uncomfortable. Maybe this person really was his other half.

"I was injured like this, and you didn't run away, and you even rescued me. That's enough for me. It's just hard on you, to still follow someone as blind as me." Sensing the person beside him was a little dejected, Ling Xiao comforted him, reaching forward with both hands to reach out and pat the person's back, telling him not to be sad.

"What kind of person do you take me for? You don't insult people like this." Xie Yuhua pulled his hand, hugged him, rested her head on Ling Xiao's shoulder, and laughed angrily. A strange sense of grievance spread through her, and tears involuntarily flowed from her eyes.

Feeling the dampness on his shoulder, Ling Xiao stroked Xie Yuhua's hair, his Adam's apple bobbing, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Baby, don't cry."

"What did you call me?"

“Lingzi! Zhuangzhuang is awake, but he doesn’t recognize me and keeps crying, asking for his brother. Do you know what’s going on? Also, shouldn’t he be in the Qinling Mountains? How come he’s in Guangxi? And…” Wuxie rushed into Lingxiao’s ward and started asking questions non-stop, but stopped talking when he saw the atmosphere between the two people on the bed.

Jieyuhua released Lingxiao and lowered her head to wipe away the tears on her face.

"Excuse me." Wu Xie turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.
