Jiang Can stayed by Yin Wenxi's bedside to take care of her, but her mother's condition showed no improvement.

Because of Jiang Mingyuan and Jiang Yao's commotion, all the previous treatments have been rendered ineffective.

Seeing her mother's distraught state, Jiang Can could only force herself to stay calm despite her own inner turmoil.

Shen Xiao consulted Yin Wenxi's former attending physician and also specifically asked a psychiatrist. They all came to the same conclusion: to move to a different place.

“Jiang Can, perhaps a change of environment would indeed help Auntie’s condition,” Shen Xiao told her. “I have studied many cases, and most of them had similar symptoms to Auntie’s, and they all recovered to varying degrees after changing their environment.”

“If Auntie had an unpleasant experience in Jiangzhou, then we shouldn’t let her stay there any longer. Changing her location or her lifestyle would be good for her.”

Jiang Can sighed softly, recalling Huo Zhixing's words from that day.

Do I really have to go to the central city with him?

"Can Can..." Yin Wenxi opened her eyes, her body weak, and struggled to sit up. Jiang Can quickly went to support her and added a cushion behind her.

"Mom, how are you feeling?"

"My heart feels so heavy," Yin Wenxi said softly. "I...I don't want to stay here anymore. I keep thinking about how Jiang Mingyuan forced me before..."

Jiang Can grasped her hand, her nose tingled, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

If she hadn't been held hostage by Gu Mang, she probably wouldn't have been able to understand this feeling, but after that experience, she could better understand Yin Wenxi's current feelings.

She was the same; she hadn't dared to go to the coffee shop for so long. Because every time she stepped into that courtyard, she was reminded of how Gu Mang had almost assaulted her.

"Mom," she hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "what do you think about us moving to another city?"

"Change the location?" Yin Wenxi was taken aback. "Change it to where Xiaocheng goes to university?"

Where do you want to go?

“I…” Yoon Moon-hee’s voice trailed off, “I want to be with my children.”

Jiang Can paused slightly, then nodded silently.

At that moment, Yin Cheng and Huo Zhixing entered the room at the same time.

Yin Cheng excitedly told her that Huo Zhixing would help him pack his luggage tonight.

"No need..."

Jiang Can hurriedly refused, and Yin Cheng looked unhappy. "Sis, what's wrong with you! My brother-in-law was just trying to help me pack my things, why are you kicking him out?"

"It's too late today." Jiang Can avoided Huo Zhixing's gaze. "Besides, I'll help you pack your luggage. Don't bother him!"

“It’s too late, let your brother-in-law stay here!” Yin Cheng looked at Huo Zhixing. “Your brother-in-law also wants to tell me a lot about what will happen after I go to university, so I can prepare in advance, right?”

Huo Zhixing chuckled and nodded. His brother-in-law had finally given him a hand!

"Yin Cheng!" Jiang Can glared at him. "There's only so much space in the house, how can it be enough for everyone?"

"Let him sleep on the sofa!"

Huo Zhixing: "..." Never mind, I take back what I just thought.

"If that doesn't work, we can do what we did at your house last time!" Yin Cheng's eyes lit up as she suddenly came up with a great idea. "Brother-in-law, why don't you sleep in the same room as me?"

Huo Zhixing's face was as dark as could be!

How did someone with that level of intelligence get into Central City University?

Before Jiang Can could say anything, Yin Wenxi suddenly laughed, "Xiao Cheng, stop causing trouble and hurry back to your room to pack your things!"

"But……"

“Your brother-in-law isn’t leaving!” Yin Wenxi gave Jiang Can a meaningful look and smiled. “Your sister won’t let him sleep on the sofa either.”

"Mom!" Jiang Can winked at her.

"It's very late, let's take him to rest."

Just as Jiang Can was about to speak, Huo Zhixing stepped forward and grabbed her arm, smiling brightly.

When it really matters, your brother-in-law is completely unreliable; you still have to rely on your mother-in-law...

Jiang Can led him back to the room, and after closing the door, she stood there quietly without moving. Huo Zhixing glanced at her, then gently walked up to her.

She took a step back, maintaining her distance from him.

He was somewhat disappointed, but still smiled.

“I won’t force you,” he said in a deep voice. “I will absolutely not do anything that will displease you.”

"But you should at least give me a cushion and a pillow."

Jiang Can looked up at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

“I’ll sleep here.” He pointed to the floor.

Her room was small, too small to fit a sofa, and she thought he would say it was too late and that he should leave...

However, he would rather sleep on the cold ground than not stay by her side.

Jiang Canxin softened again, and her two little hands nervously twisted together.

After a moment of silence, she turned and took out a blanket and a quilt from the closet. Although the quilt was thick, it was still cold and hard to sleep on when laid on the floor.

Huo Zhixing was satisfied and lay down immediately, urging Jiang Can to go to bed as well.

Jiang Can slowly lifted the covers and lay down, tossing and turning until late into the night without falling asleep.

Huo Zhixing was also awake, quietly listening to her movements.

"Can Can," his low, husky voice came from the darkness, "aren't you asleep yet?"

"Um……"

"Then let's have a proper talk."

Jiang Can bit her lip, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She quietly lifted herself up slightly and peeked under the bed. Huo Zhixing had his back to her, and starlight streamed in through the window, vaguely illuminating his broad back and strong features.

Her heart tightened; this man had once created a world that belonged only to her.

Looking at his retreating figure, she suddenly longed to hug him again...

Jiang Can abruptly lay back down, covering half her face with the blanket, desperately trying to suppress her rapidly beating heart.

"Can Can," he said softly, "you still don't want to go to Yangcheng with me?"

Jiang Can remained silent.

Huo Zhixing took a deep breath. "I admit that concealing my identity was my mistake."

"I'll be honest with you, when we got together, I never wanted any future with you."

Jiang Can gripped the blanket tightly, her small hands trembling slightly.

"But I never expected that I would actually fall in love with you."

"Can Can, I've investigated everything. You have absolutely no connection with Gu Mang." He paused for a moment. "So, can you give me a chance to go back to when we first got together?"

Jiang Can was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

“I want a chance to go back to the way things were before.” His words struck her heart clearly. “I will tell you who I am right away… and then, as Huo Zhixing, I will love you openly and honestly.”
