"Are you hiding something from me?" she asked, looking at his flickering eyes.
"Why do you think so much? It was the doctor who told me that you should take good care of yourself this time around. "
Hearing his calm and sincere tone, the doubt in her heart quietly dispersed. She turned her head to look at him, saying, "Are you sure there's nothing that you're hiding from me?"
Shen Canghao was about to heave a sigh of relief, but he was startled by her sudden words. He quickly nodded and said, "I promise I won't have any more."
As the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door. Shen Canghao immediately changed the subject, "I'm going to open the door."
When he opened the door, he couldn't help but be surprised for a moment. To his surprise, it was actually a girl he didn't know standing outside the room.
"Hello, may I ask if Miss Xu Huayan lives here?" However, it was as if he didn't know Shen Canghao at all, as he spoke in a polite but unfamiliar manner.
"Yaxi, Yu Xin?" When she heard the voice, she opened her mouth and spoke in a slightly surprised tone.
"Big sister Xu!" Yu Xin immediately waved adorably at her. As she did so, Yaxi's gaze slipped past her and landed on her smiling face. She didn't move his gaze away from her.
He looked at her quietly for only a few seconds, but it actually made her feel like a long time.
"Miss Xu, you told me last time that your husband and I were good friends. That's why I came here specifically today to pay a visit to the two of you."
He spoke gently, his manner calm and polite, different from the five years she remembered him from five years ago, the five years of him.
Huaiyan nodded, almost shedding tears.
She hastily pulled Shen Canghao aside and opened the door. "Yaxi, Yu Xin, come in quickly."
"Big sister Xu, the food you gave us last time was so delicious." At such a young age, Yu Xin wasn't worried at all. She didn't notice the undercurrent between the three of them. She was just happily chatting away, while Shen Canghao, her and Yaxi maintained a tacit understanding of each other.
Yu Xin's melodious voice gradually died down. She stole a glance at the silent Ah Xi, then stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. "Am I talking a lot?"
"You are very cute." She touched her hair and asked, "Does Yu Xin like Ashes?"
Yu Xin's face reddened. She looked anxiously at Ah Xi, only to find that he was still calm and silent. Her eyes dimmed. "Elder sister Xu, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"I'll go make tea for you guys. Assi, you still want green tea, right? What does Yu Xin want to drink?
Huaiyan felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing. She stood up and walked towards the kitchen, speaking without turning her head back.
"Sister Xu, Ashes and I like coffee. Ashes doesn't like green tea." Hearing this, Yu Xin's back stiffened. She nodded and was about to speak … "Yu Xin, I like green tea, so I'll just drink green tea."
The taut string at the bottom of her heart was fiercely strummed once again. She didn't say anything else and just walked into the kitchen.
After a while, she came out with a tray and four cups of fragrant coffee were placed in front of them.
"I just found out that green tea is gone, so let's have coffee. Hao and I also like to drink it."
Yu Xin lifted her cup of coffee and took a deep, exaggerated sniff before turning her face to smile at Ashes, "Brother Ashes, you're lying again. Your aunt brought green tea the last time, and you threw it away after drinking it."
The finger holding the cup quivered. Not only did he lose all of his memories, he also forgot about everything he loved in the past. He loved to eat Wu Fangzhai's Soup Dumplings, his favorite green tea, and even … The way he dressed was also different from before.
Her happy face lost all color, and her mind gradually became absent-minded. Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to say.
"Be careful!"
"Yan Yan, are you burned?"
A full cup of coffee somehow spilled out a few drops, two hands at the same time took the wet towel to hand over, and at the same time asked with concern.
She was not the only one who felt that it was strange. Even Yu Xin and Shen Canghao looked at the worried and anxious Ah Xi in surprise.
"Ah Xi?" Shen Canghao slightly frowned. Didn't they say that he had lost all his memories? How could a "normal friend", whom he had only met once, display such an expression so naturally?
Assi retracted his hand immediately, smiling as he said, "Hurry and see if Miss Xu has been scalded."
"Don't you remember who I am?" Shen Canghao asked casually as he carefully wiped the spilled coffee on the back of her hand with his smiling hand.
Assi shook his head gently. "I'm sorry, the doctor said I've forgotten everything from before."
He carefully inspected her hand, but it was unharmed. It was only with a slight blush that he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Yaxi again and said, "My name is Shen Canghao. Yaxi, we can get to know each other again."
He stretched out his hand, but there was no expression of anger on his face. He only gently smiled at him, as if he was an old friend that he hadn't seen for many years.
Asai's thin eyelids drooped down. He still had a smile on his face, but that smile was enough to make anyone's heart hurt.
"Alright. Shen Canghao, it's a pleasure to meet you." He took his hand, and the two shook it heavily before releasing it again.
"When are we going home? Yan Yan and I will treat you guys to a meal. " He held her in his arms and spoke affectionately and naturally. His gaze fell upon Yu Xin, who was standing to one side. He couldn't help but smile. "Ah Xi, Yu Xin is so beautiful and adorable. You should cherish her well."
"Big sister Xu …"
Yu Xin's face flushed red again as she subconsciously looked to Shen Canghao's arms for help.
