Su Yuchen looked at sleeping Xin Mei with a small smile dancing on his lips. He thanked God for a numerous of time for not snatching Xin Mei from him and for returning his Mian to him.
He looked at Xin Mei with love stuck eyes and a tear fell from them. Looking at her, he remembered the first time when he had seen her in the clinic of his psychologist and then at the resort of city B.
He had felt a connection to her, an urge to hug her and to protect her from everything. He had seen his Mian in her, and look at how his each hunch had come true. She was his Mian. His best friend Mian.
He felt thankful that he did not know that Xin Mei was Mian. He did not love her knowing she was Mian. Instead, he loved Xin Mei as Xin Mei. He loved her new personality.
He fell in love with her from his heart. He was not forced to love her because of their childhood memories. He loved her because of the connection which their hearts had formed with one another.
Tears dropped from the eyes of Su Yuchen and he took a shaky breath from his lips. There was a large smile adorning his lips.
"Mei, I love you so much. I am lucky to have you in my life as my life partner."
Mian was always a light in his life. She had saved him from the dark dreams of his mother's death, all those years back when he had met few days old Mian for the first time, and then again, she had saved him from the darkness in his heart by coming in his life as Xin Mei.
Su Yuchen squeezed on the hand of Xin Mei and she also squeezed his hand. A gentle smile played upon her lips, in her sleep.
"I promise to always protect you. I will not let anything happen to you. I will do anything in my power to keep you safe."
Su Yuchen promised himself and leaned against the bed, closing his eyes. He let the hand of Xin Mei gave him the needed warm, to calm his fast-beating heart which was feeling very happy today.

"Mother, Chen has already fed me dinner. I can't have any more spoon of porridge in my stomach."
Xin Mei groaned and looked at her mother who had opened a dinner box with porridge in front of her face. She was already full because Su Yuchen had forced feed her and now here was her mother.
"She is saying the truth. I have already fed her. She is already full." Su Yuchen smiled and took his seat beside Xin Mei. He took her hand in his.
It had been hardly two days that Xin Mei had woken up, and everyone was pampering her from the last two days. She was showered with many flowers and gifts, from her family and fans who were praying for her good health.
Fans, who did not get any news about Xin Mei, because reporters were distracted and were ordered by Bai Yue to not give any news about her, felt uncomfortable.
They started to collect outside of Xin corporation, to know about the whereabouts of their idol. Later Xin Yan came clean that Xin Mei was all fine and was recovering with some fractures.
From then, her concerned fans started to sent gifts for Xin Mei at the Xin corporations, and Xin Yan carried all the gifts to the hospital for his sister who was getting a princess like treatment.
"Chen, when can I get discharged from the hospital?" Xin Mei asked and groaned. She looked at the plaster around her hand and then at her legs.
"Tomorrow morning." Su Yuchen smiled and looked at Xin Mei.
The doctor wanted to keep Xin Mei for the next one week but Su Yuchen was afraid that fans or some reporter would come finding Xin Mei.
Already many patients in the hospital, who had a hunch that Xin Mei was admitted in the same hospital had attempted to visit her numerous times. He could not let her have any discomfort because of her fans.
He had made all the arrangements at home so she would not feel any discomfort. Instead, she would feel more comfortable at home than at the hospital.
To save her from the discomfort only, he had not let any close relatives visit her. Gu Nan and He family were also stopped from visiting the hospital including his grandparents.
Su Zixin visited her but he was warned to not give any gossip to Xin Mei.
"Mother, I have already done all the preparations at home but if possible do visit and check them once."
"Will do." He Lin smiled and kissed on the cheeks of Xin Mei before leaving the hospital with Xin Jin.
Once He Lin was gone, Su Yuchen lowered the bed of Xin Mei, to make her comfortable on it. Afterward, he laid down on the extra bed which was placed beside the bed of Xin Mei.
Yesterday, he and Xin Mei both were not ready to sleep without company of one another. Xin Mei offered him to sleep on her bed but he denied, afraid that he would unknowingly touch her injured body part.
So, he asked the hospital authorities to place an extra bed in the room of Xin Mei.
"Stop looking at me like this and try to sleep." Xin Mei scoffed and closed her eyes.
A painful wince escaped her lips when she tried to move her arms. She knew, it was going to take nearly two months or more to recover fully. Till then, she was on a complete bed rest.
"Mei, are you in pain?"
"Slightly, but it is nothing which I cannot bear." She smiled at him. "Now sleep."
Su Yuchen released a deep breath. He took the hand of Xin Mei in his and closed his eyes, praying to God to heal Xin Mei quickly.

"Miss Xin, have you taken your medicines?"
"Yes, doctor."
Early in the morning, the doctor was in the room of Xin Mei to get her plasters changed and to check up on her before signing her discharge paper.
"Good." The doctor smiled at her before looking at Su Yuchen. "Mister Su, I have signed the discharge papers. You can now take her home."
"Thank you, doctor." Su Yuchen nodded toward him with gratitude. In the meantime, he sent a message to Huang Chu who entered inside the room of Xin Mei with an automatic wheelchair.
"Wheelchair? For whom?" Xin Mei drew her brows together and looked at the wheelchair with disgust.
"Didn't you like it? I thought you will like to use an automatic wheelchair now that you cannot walk." Su Yuchen frowned and looked at Xin Mei with confusion.
"Why would I like it when I have my lifter?" Xin Mei grinned widely and blinked her eyes multiple times before spreading her arms toward Su Yuchen.
Su Yuchen chuckled before gently lifting her in his arms. "I have spoiled you. But I am liking this spoiled you."
He signaled to Huang Chu who pulled back the wheelchair. And then, with Xin Mei in his arms, he made his way toward the gates of the hospital.
"Hey, why are we going via the main gate? What if some paparazzi or someone else caught us?" Xin Mei chided and looked at him with wide eyes.
"You should not worry about them, because, two days back, someone posted online that we are married. Now our marriage is no more a secret. So, let me confirm the same by carrying you out of the hospital."
Xin Mei looked at him with wide eyes and gulped. "Do you mean that now our marriage is no longer a hidden marriage?"
"Yes, I mean to say that."
