Chapter 214: Chapter 165: Reunion

Xu Yiran looked at her blankly.

He had just woken up and felt dizzy, with an intense headache.

He recognized the woman before him but couldn’t place where he knew her from.

No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t remember.

He strained his mind, but it was blank, and the pain worsened.

He furrowed his brows in discomfort.

Xu Yunjie, who was nearby, saw this and frowned slightly, "Yiran, do you remember Dad?"

Xu Yiran looked at Xu Yunjie, "You’re my dad?"

"Yes, Yiran, don’t you remember?" Xu Yunjie immediately called for a doctor.

After an examination, the doctor informed Xu Yiran that his physical condition was fine, but it was normal to lose memory after a head injury.

As for when he might recover—perhaps a few days, months, years, or possibly never.

Tang Xi silently retreated to a corner.

She watched as doctors surrounded Xu Yiran and as the Xu Family slowly arrived in numbers. Then she slowly turned around and left.

It was enough that he had regained consciousness and was safe.

Not remembering her might actually be a relief.

Tang Xi smiled faintly, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.

But her eyes felt sore, and she closed them.

Tears rolled down her cheeks. As she stepped out of the hospital, a cold breeze dried her tear-streaked face.

Nie Xiaoyun, watching her emotions, became concerned.

Nie Xiaoyun could clearly sense Tang Xi’s mood plummeting.

So, she suggested, "How about we go shopping?"

"Or maybe we could visit the orphanage... It’s been a while since you last saw them."

Tang Xi rolled down the car window. It was early spring, and the weather was still cold.

Tang Xi looked outside, "Let’s go home."

She resumed the life she had before.

But now, unlike her previous desire to go out, she seemed to be hiding.

Hiding in that small house, unwilling to leave.

Most of her time was spent sitting on the balcony, laying on the recliner reading a book.

Sometimes she would sit there all afternoon.

Sometimes she would fall asleep while reading.

Nie Xiaoyun would considerately cover her with a blanket.

Today, Tang Xi noticed a new anomaly in her body.

But she didn’t mention it to Nie Xiaoyun.

She found out that... her right ear couldn’t hear any sound.

But Tang Xi didn’t tell anyone.

It was as if she had silently accepted these deteriorations in her body.

Tang Xi was a doctor by profession.

She knew her body well.

During this period, she hadn’t suffered any trauma or collisions, but the sudden loss of hearing seemed to be related to that slap.

Fu Tingzhou’s slap was forceful.

She felt her hearing was temporarily gone, and though it sporadically returned, now she could no longer hear with her right ear.

Time flew by, and before long, the weather gradually warmed.

A month had passed.

Tang Xi heard some news, as mentioned by Nie Xiaoyun.

Nie Xiaoyun said that Xu Yiran was preparing to go abroad.

It was arranged by the Xu Family, Xu Yiran was getting ready to leave for another country these few days.

Tang Xi was momentarily stunned, slightly distracted. She was currently clipping the leaves of the plants on the balcony. Upon hearing the words, she nodded slightly.

That’s probably for the best.

Losing her memory and starting a new life abroad.

It was a good thing.

Nie Xiaoyun watched her. For this period of time, Nie Xiaoyun had been by Tang Xi’s side, watching her visit Xu Yiran’s hospital room daily. Nie Xiaoyun knew that Tang Xi must have had deep feelings for Xu Yiran.

But she didn’t expect that when Tang Xi heard that Xu Yiran was about to leave the country, she remained indifferent, and there was even a faint smile in her eyes.

As if, she was sincerely blessing Xu Yiran.

Nie Xiaoyun was taken aback for a moment.

After two seconds of silence, Nie Xiaoyun tentatively asked, "Tang Xi, it seems he will be leaving the day after tomorrow. Are you planning to see him off? If you want to go, I can help you."

"No need." The woman’s voice was hoarse. She didn’t seem interested in the matter.

Tang Xi maintained her posture while tending to the flowers in front of her, "Xiaoyun, come look, you can also grow good flowers on the balcony. I’m not sure what the name of this flower is, it looks like a wildflower, very resilient."

Nie Xiaoyun walked over. There was no third person at home, but Nie Xiaoyun still instinctively lowered her voice, "If you want to go, I can really help you. These past few days Mr. Fu... he’s just been discharged from the hospital and is now recuperating at home. So... I just need to report to Assistant Xu, then I can take you out without Mr. Fu finding out."

Tang Xi looked at her.

After a few seconds of silence, the woman’s lips lightly parted.

"Fu Tingzhou, what happened to him?"

"Don’t you know?" Nie Xiaoyun blinked, a bit surprised, "He... Mr. Fu injured his waist and had surgery. The day you visited Xu Yiran, he had just had the surgery." While speaking, Nie Xiaoyun observed Tang Xi’s expression.

Tang Xi remembered.

That time, it seemed like Fu Tingzhou was in a hospital gown.

But she had ignored it at the time.

The woman nodded her head, no longer interested in the topic.

However, Nie Xiaoyun’s voice still nagged in her ears, "His waist injury was quite severe, and he has been convalescing ever since his discharge."

Tang Xi slowly lowered her eyelids, the evening sunlight wasn’t so intense, a soft orange halo spilled into the room and onto the woman’s figure. She knelt on the ground. The thin frame of her body, dressed in a light pink coral fleece pajama set, was entirely focused on the flowers she was tending to.

It seemed that in Tang Xi’s eyes, the most important thing at that moment was dedicatedly trimming the branches and watering the flowers.

Upon hearing that Fu Tingzhou had just had surgery on his waist, Tang Xi’s eyelids trembled slightly, and then she had no other expressions.

-

The next time Tang Xi saw Fu Tingzhou, another month had passed.

The weather in April, the sun started to feel hot and shone brightly at noon.

She was really bored at home, so Nie Xiaoyun snuck her out.

Lately, Nie Xiaoyun often took her out for walks to get some fresh air, frequently visiting the welfare institute.

She could also see Tangtang.

Tangtang had grown a lot, and Tang Jingyun took great care of her.

Considering she often went out previously without being discovered, to be precise, Fu Tingzhou had restricted her freedom. But Nie Xiaoyun couldn’t bear it, so she would report to Xu Ze each time and then take Tang Xi out. Gradually, it became a habit.

After staying at the welfare institute for a while, Tang Xi saw that Tang Jingyun did not look well and urged Tang Shiyue to take Tang Jingyun to the hospital for a check-up. Tang Jingyun was stubborn, unwilling to go to the hospital, unwilling to spend the money.

Tang Xi glanced at the time, not daring to stay longer and left with Nie Xiaoyun.

While passing through the mall, Nie Xiaoyun asked Tang Xi if she wanted to go inside for a browse.

They had been inside for only a few minutes, Tang Xi holding a cup of milk tea in her hand when they bumped into Fu Tingzhou.

Fu Tingzhou was with Assistant Xu, who was carrying two gift bags in his hands.

The two of them met eye to eye.

This was their first encounter in two months since that slap.

The man’s gaze remained as usual, sharp and indifferent, resting on Tang Xi’s face with a slight frown.
