Liu Sisi turned her head to look out the window, and a long, thin sigh filled the ward.

Because she didn't want to disrupt the warmth and peace of the moment, she chose not to dwell on it, or even investigate why Lin Lan had told her that she and Lin Xuedong were already together.

Because she believed in this man, and she loved him.

"However, I didn't see you come again after that, so I didn't think too much about it. After all, we were just boss and subordinate. When I woke up, I found that my memory seemed to only be stuck on the Yoshimoto case in Japan. What surprised me was that at that time, I had already switched to Matsushita and had become a working partner with Li Songze."

“I’m completely baffled. Whenever I try to recall it, my head aches so badly it feels like it’s going to split open. I just can’t remember it no matter what I do. If I can’t figure it out, then I’ll just give up. Anyway, Songke isn’t bad. Plus, Li Songze comes every day to talk to me about work. He’s very patient and very detailed.” Liu Sisi’s gaze drifted blankly.

Thinking of that man, who silently sacrificed so much for me, it would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

If he didn't have those feelings for her, she thought she would become a good friend and mentor to Li Songze.

Lin Xuedong let out a displeased snort and tightened his grip on her hand. He squeezed it again, and the slight pain brought her back to her senses.

Liu Sisi frowned, her gaze returning to the man's pale, bruised face. His discomfort was palpable in his expression.

She shook her head, raised her hand, and stroked his short, choppy hair, gently comforting him. "Don't worry. I've never had those feelings for him."

Seeing the slight upturn of the man's lips, Liu Sisi withdrew her hand, covered her mouth, and chuckled softly.

The next moment, she stood up and leaned forward. Without thinking, she planted a quick kiss on his cheek. "Okay, don't overthink it."

Some people have said that it's perfectly normal for women to be jealous; it's nothing unusual.

However, if a man gets jealous, you'll know he's serious. It's because he values ​​the relationship and cherishes it.

"Mouth..." A very soft murmur escaped Lin Xuedong's lips.

The man was so tired he could barely open his eyes, but he still tried to be affectionate and cuddle with her. Seeing him pout, Liu Sisi was speechless, yet her heart was overflowing with sweetness.

"Stop fussing, you're so weak right now, you really need to rest and relax." She held his large hand, her voice as gentle as possible. She spoke slowly, like coaxing a child. "When you get better, I'll let you kiss me as much as you want, okay...?"

Lin Xuedong was really tired, especially in a quiet environment. Listening to her soft and delicate tone was like a warm, soothing lullaby surrounding his heart.

Seeing his face return to calm and his breathing gradually become even and rhythmic, Liu Sisi's eyebrows slowly curved into a smile, and a gentle tenderness welled up in her eyes.

The image of him rushing in and bravely fighting the bandits last night is still vivid in my mind. I watched him being mercilessly slashed by long knives and pounded hard by iron bars...

She thought she would never forget the scene of this man, covered in blood and wounds, embracing her.

He carried many burdens beyond his control, including his love for his family and his filial piety.

Therefore, she wouldn't hold a grudge against Xie Xue, and she didn't even want to dwell on the matter between him and Lin Lan anymore.

Perhaps they weren't so terrible. Perhaps it was just Lin Lan's momentary obsession.

Lin Xuedong is a man who values ​​relationships and loyalty. How could he be so heartless towards his family? As his wife, she should trust and care for him more than anyone else.

At the same time, he also has loyalty and affection for his friends, as well as a sense of responsibility and mission towards the entire group.

Perhaps, as he said, he started off poorly and needed time to fix it.

Therefore, he endured the pain of separation from himself, maneuvering between Zeng Ziyan and the Zeng family, striving to find a chance to turn the tables.

She also had to endure Li Songze and Du Zhentao's overly attentive advances towards her.

He...it's really too hard for him.

In the end, he never forgot, or rather, he never let go of himself for a moment. Because he showed himself through his actions how deep his affection and commitment were.

She once doubted his love for her, thinking that she wasn't the only one in his heart.

Thinking of this, Liu Sisi felt a pang of sorrow, regret, and shame.

Besides wanting to avoid him and escape from him, she seemed unable to help him at all. She even refused to give him the slightest comfort he craved.

Why can't we be nicer to him?

Why can't we just wait patiently for him and let him have no worries?

While he was at the forefront, conquering enemies and clearing obstacles, he himself was doing everything he could to escape. He even provoked Li Songze, wasn't that just adding insult to injury?

Liu Sisi's eyes reddened as she looked at the sleeping man and sighed silently.

From this day forward, she will love him again. She will do her best to cooperate with and support him, hoping to make up for the lost time in the future.

"Honey, I love you. Get well soon..." Her voice was gentle, her eyes filled with undisguised love. She lowered her head and gently kissed the back of his hand. "This time, it's my turn to wait for you."

She loved this man, and being able to return to his side, the warmth of his body flowing endlessly into her palms, felt wonderful. Like a mineral-rich hot spring, it gurgled and flowed into her heart, nourishing and healing her lost and wounded soul.

A light winter rain began to fall outside the window. Yellow leaves, unable to withstand the wind and rain, drifted down one by one from the withered branches. Compared to their former lushness and verdant green, they certainly looked more desolate and sorrowful.

Although the sky was still overcast and gloomy, Lin Xuedong was in the happiest mood he had been in a long time.

He only slept for a short while, waking up in less than an hour. Seeing the woman kneeling beside the bed, her hands still holding his large hands, a happy smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, his eyes shining.

The way the woman slept, her face turned to the side, was incredibly alluring. From her full forehead to her delicate eyebrows, and then to her half-closed eyes, like a crescent moon.

His gaze, like a gentle hand, swept over every corner of her face, finally settling on her pink lips.

A slight smile played on the corners of the woman's lips, as if she were lost in a sweet dream. Would he be in her dream?

Since Liu Sisi lost her memory in the car accident, he could only get close to her when she was asleep after taking sleeping pills. At that time, he was the only one holding her, giving her warmth and care.

Unlike now, she remembered herself; she had finally returned. Lin Xuedong couldn't find the words to describe the sense of fulfillment that came from this connection of hearts and minds.

He moved his hand, intending to pull it away and touch her short hair. Unexpectedly, this startled the woman.

"You're awake?" Liu Sisi rubbed her eyes, looking at the man with gentle and concerned eyes.

Lin Xuedong smiled and nodded, fumbling for the electric remote control with his hand. Liu Sisi found it first, picked it up, stood up, and asked, "Are you getting up? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I'd like to sit down for a bit," he said.

Liu Sisi pressed the remote control, raising the headboard to a satisfactory angle. She then poured him a glass of warm water, her gentle and skillful demeanor resembling that of a devoted wife attentively caring for her husband.

"How are you? Do you feel unwell anywhere? Do you need to go to the bathroom?" Liu Sisi took the cup he had drunk from and put it back on the bedside table. She then took out a tissue to wipe his mouth and asked with concern.

Lin Xuedong seemed pleased to be taken care of by his wife, a smile playing on his lips as he said, "I'm fine, I just need to use the restroom. Can you help me?"

Having observed Ah Xiao and the nurse's techniques that morning, Liu Sisi attempted to unfasten the sling on his right leg and gently helped him twist and get out of bed. "Watch your step."

The two embraced and stumbled into the bathroom inside the ward.

When they were about to take off Lin Xuedong's pants, Liu Sisi suddenly realized what was happening. Her body stiffened involuntarily, and she instinctively looked away, her heart pounding wildly.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen his body before, but rather that she was caught off guard by the suddenness of it all. Her face instantly flushed a burning red.

"Are you shy?" A warm breath suddenly swept over him, the tone both seductive and playful, an ambiguity that seemed to drip with moisture.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Sisi lowered her brows and, as if taking a desperate gamble, said, "No."

So, she looked away and gently pulled down his pants. Hearing the sound of urine, Liu Sisi's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help but inwardly berate herself for being so affected.

Her heart pounded like a drum, and a wave of heat washed over her face, reaching her ears. Her short, choppy hair offered no concealment for her current embarrassment and awkwardness.

Despite their past intimacy, the close physical contact in the cramped bathroom created a significant sensory impact on Liu Sisi, causing her breathing to become erratic.

"Sisi..." The sound of running water suddenly stopped. A deep, husky voice sounded beside her head, alluring and sexy like a gentle electric shock flowing from her ear to her heart, sending shivers down her spine.

Startled by the interruption, Liu Sisi shuddered. She looked up slightly at the sound, meeting a pair of gentle, dark eyes. "Ah...?"

The man lowered his gaze, staring into her bright, doe-like eyes, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. His eyebrows lifted slightly, and his spring-like smile held a fatal allure. "Alright."

"Oh, oh." Liu Sisi blushed under his alluring gaze, swallowed unconsciously, and felt incredibly embarrassed. She lowered her eyelids, hiding her infatuation, and with trembling hands, pulled his pants on.

"What were you thinking about just now?" he asked, raising an eyebrow deliberately, as he washed his hands.

Liu Sisi looked up at the man in the mirror, her lips twitching slightly, and said truthfully, "It's nothing, I'm just not used to it yet."

The man laughed, his chest heaving with laughter, a long-lost joy spreading across his bruised and swollen face.

Two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, making her look especially radiant. "Haha... cough cough, haha..."

Looking at him, laughing and coughing at the same time, made Liu Sisi's heart sink unconsciously and flutter uncontrollably.

She looked him up and down, his body covered in wounds, with her bright, lively eyes. She gently raised her hand to soothe his chest and said softly, "Don't get agitated..."

"Sisi..." Lin Xuedong grabbed her small hand and kissed it. A roguish smile crept across his lips, his eyes gleaming. "I... what you promised...?"

The man's extremely ambiguous hints made Liu Sisi's heart race involuntarily. Her dark eyes, trembling like a deer's, reflected his face, bruised but still familiar and handsome.

His slightly lowered eyelashes were long and thick, and his deep eyes also held a small reflection of himself.

In this scene, a deep longing filled their hearts, and a warm affection lingered between them. The man in the mirror lowered his head, quietly and tenderly awaiting her response.

"You're not done yet..." Liu Sisi blushed, her palms starting to sweat. She pulled her hand away, tilted her head back, and bit her lip.

Her eyes darted away shyly, and she stammered, trying to gloss over the awkwardness. "Once I'm done, I'll...I'll go back to my room and hide in bed."

Lin Xuedong chuckled and opened his right arm to embrace her. Finally, he held his beloved, whom he had longed for, in his arms with utmost tenderness.

Although his posture was a bit awkward, the desire in his deep, intense eyes left Liu Sisi with no way to avoid it.

"Hold me tight, Sisi." He deliberately moved closer, making the person in his arms unable to move.

Looking into his eyes, Liu Sisi felt a surge of emotion welling up inside her, and her whole body trembled slightly. She missed him; the warmth in his arms, the tenderness in his eyes, the constant fluttering in her heart—all of it was so familiar.

Under his deep and unwavering gaze, Liu Sisi's nerves instantly tightened. The mix of fear, tension, and anticipation was almost unbearable.

Finally, she couldn't help but raise her hands and obediently place them on his strong waist. A gentle embrace instantly healed the deep pain of their unrequited love.

During this period, they had few sweet days, yet they cherished them so much, finding them incredibly precious.

Lin Xuedong leaned down and precisely captured her pink lips. Between their lips, she murmured, "Thank you..."

Thank you for waiting, thank you for your perseverance.

Thank you for remembering me, thank you for coming back to me.

Thank you for your unwavering love.

Longing and love were released between their lips and teeth; all their emotions were conveyed through a tender kiss.
