After the stitches were finally finished, the doctor bandaged the lower leg with sterile gauze, gave some instructions on precautions and the need for a tetanus shot, and then left with the nurse.

"Sister, I'm so sorry for leaving a scar on your leg..."

She has been dancing since she was a child, and her most prized asset is her slender, beautiful legs. Now that she is injured, she probably won't even be able to wear a skirt anymore.

"Silly girl, it's okay. We can just remove the scar later. Cosmetic medicine is so advanced these days."

The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, so Shu Xiangyu couldn't feel any pain, but she was content to be able to lean against her like this for the time being.

At this point, a nurse came in to perform a tetanus skin test on her. The injection could only be administered after the skin test was passed.

"Mo Mo, do you want the doctor to check your head injury so that the sweat doesn't soak the gauze and cause the wound to get infected?"

Shu Xiangyu sat up straight, only then remembering her injuries.

Under the lamplight, she finally got a good look at how badly she was injured, as she wasn't allowed to get close to her even during the day.

Apart from his head, he was otherwise unharmed.

His cool fingers casually brushed across her red earlobe until they touched her chin.

"Sister, I... have memory problems."

After looking at each other for a long time, Schimerin finally told her about the problem he was facing.

Perhaps the only person who could answer the questions in her heart was her.

Shu Xiangyu's already reddened eyes instantly became moist, and her throat felt extremely sore. She asked her in a low, hoarse voice, "Do you... do you feel that there are two periods of the same time, but with completely different facts in your memories?"

Schimerlin looked surprised; she actually knew.

Me too…

As soon as she finished speaking, the nurse came in on time to check the skin test results. Fortunately, there was no allergic reaction. After giving her a tetanus shot, she was told to avoid getting the area wet to prevent infection.

Inside the tent, Shu Xiangyu lay peacefully on the bed, as if telling a story about someone else, slowly recounting it to Momo sitting by the bedside.

Compared to the daytime, the encampment became much quieter at this time, with only the occasional passing vehicle causing a deafening noise.

Schimerling's expression gradually deepened from its initial calm, until she heard that Schimerling had died in the earthquake, at which point she suddenly recalled the scene from her memory.

They seemed to have no chance of survival, but they miraculously survived because they had changed the past together, which in turn affected the present.

And what she thought was a beautiful dream actually happened, and they had become lovers. There was no guilt, and Liu Luoqing was no longer there.

But how can she accept this drastically different, repetitive life...?

Seemingly aware of her inner turmoil and distress, Shu Xiangyu sat up, her eyes softening: "I'm confessing my past to you not to force you to make any choices. I know you care about what happened in my past life, and I can't ask for your forgiveness. The only thing I can do is repay my apologies and regrets to you in this life and the next..."

Upon hearing that she had spent her life in grief and loneliness for him, and that she had accompanied Rong's father and Yang's mother until their old age, before she also fell ill and died not long after, Xi Molin's heart felt as if it had been tormented countless times.

Unable to express her grief, she covered her face and wept. She didn't cry for her own sacrifice, but for not being able to fulfill her filial duties to Rong's parents and to resolve the estrangement between them.

The future is still a blank slate for her, but perhaps this is her chance to complete this chapter of her life.

Shu Xiangyu knew that she had the softest heart. Even though some things had nothing to do with her, she would still take the blame on herself.

“Silly blockhead, these things are long gone. We are lucky enough to have been given a second chance at life. Only by cherishing the present moment can we make the most of this reunion.”

How could she not understand her considerations and thoughts? To encounter extraordinary events in life is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they had both experienced them. Only by sharing common memories can they be even without owing each other anything.

At this moment, Xi Molin's thoughts were somewhat chaotic; she couldn't process so much information at the moment.

She then hurriedly went out to find something to eat, and the two of them, who had been starving for a long time, devoured the food with chicken soup.

After the lights were turned off at night, they went to sleep in separate beds.

Schimerlin now possesses memories of his past life and is temporarily unable to accept being too close to her.

Did you come here alone this time?

Her deep voice was especially noticeable in the quiet tent.

“I brought several truckloads of supplies. My assistant Xiao Chen and driver Xu Lei are still in Luding County. I was worried about your situation, so I walked here with the help of some locals.”

Now that the anesthesia had worn off, the injury on Shu Xiangyu's leg started to ache, making it difficult for her to sleep soundly.

"I'll have someone take you out tomorrow. The main focus here right now is search and rescue, so you don't need to stay long."

If he were to remain calm and composed, he would seem to have become like the former Schimerlin.

"I will leave, but I will go back with Dad when he returns."

She ultimately chose a compromise.

Schimerlin didn't say anything more; continuing would only upset her.

As the night wore on, Shu Xiangyu's leg injury burned even more intensely. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and dared not move her leg.

The rustling sounds made Schimerlin, who was standing next to him, equally uneasy.

At this moment, she quietly got up and left the tent, and returned not long after.

Then he turned on the light and sat down by Shu Xiangyu's bedside. He saw that she was holding a glass of water.

"I got some painkillers from the doctor; you should feel better after taking them."

Shu Xiangyu's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, and his face was somewhat pale.

After taking the medicine, you have to wait for it to take effect.

"Thanks…"

"Go to sleep."

Xi Molin placed the water glass beside him and turned off the light, but instead of lying back down on his own hospital bed, he turned to lie down on his side next to Shu Xiangyu. The hospital bed was not large and there was not much room left.

She naturally pulled her into her arms, gently stroking her back and softly soothing her, "It won't hurt in a little while..."

"MoMo, I need to be honest with you. I've never had anything happen between Liu Luoqing in the past, neither in my past life nor now. Even though we were boyfriend and girlfriend, we never had any physical relationship. When I admitted to our relationship, I realized how resistant I was... In the years since we broke up, I haven't dated anyone. Even if there were kissing scenes, they were all done with camera tricks. I can't accept having overly intimate contact with male actors. As for those rumors circulating online, most of them are just baseless..."

Lying in her arms, Shu Xiangyu suddenly revealed a secret she had kept hidden in her heart for a long time.

"I remember you said you dated a boy in high school..."

Schimerling answered truthfully.

Shu Xiangyu snuggled into her arms, acting coquettishly, "That was so long ago, do you still remember?"

"I will never forget anything that concerns you."

"Then why did you wish me and Liu Luoqing well when you went back after your vacation...?"

Schimerlin grabbed her hands that were moving around on his body: "Because I believe you... I believe you love me, and I also believe you don't love me."

Have you ever hated me?

"Yes...I did, but I figured it out later."

She answered without hesitation.
