Chapter 35 Extra: Amnesia 2 - The End

At night, Xu Yan peeked out of the bathroom door.

He was wearing his own pajamas that Chi Chen had given him.

It's fluffy pink with bunny ears and even a small round tail on its back, and it smells like warm sunshine.

Xu Yan had never worn comfortable clothes that fit him properly in his memory. He really liked these pajamas, and his fingers unconsciously tugged at the fluffy little balls hanging from his chest.

"Come on, let your brother help you blow-dry your hair." Chi Chen's gaze softened as he pulled Xu Yan to the chair.

He sat down on it himself, then reached out and pulled the still somewhat inexperienced Xu Yan onto his body.

Xu Yan sat sideways, leaning against the other's firm, warm chest, but he did not resist; instead, he tried to adapt.

Chi Chen's arm was loosely wrapped around his waist, which did not make him feel uncomfortable, probably because the body was already used to it.

A warm, dry breeze swept down, dispelling the lingering dampness in his hair. Chi Chen's fingers then ran through his soft, black hair, gently stroking it.

It's so warm.

Xu Yan closed her eyes and leaned completely into Chi Chen's arms.

Perhaps it was because he had received too much information in a day, or perhaps it was because he felt too safe in the arms of such a familiar body, but he actually fell asleep to the hum of the hairdryer.

Chi Chen noticed that the person in his arms had completely relaxed. After confirming that the hair was completely dry, he picked up the sleeping person and put him in the quilt.

He was just about to get up to pack his things when he realized that Xu Yan's fingers were tightly gripping his clothes.

Chi Chen was stunned for a moment, looking at Xu Yan's unguarded sleeping face, his heart softened.

He abandoned the idea of ​​leaving and quietly lay down next to Xu Yan.

The sleeping youth seemed to sense the heat source, and with his eyes closed, he snuggled into his arms, his cheek pressed against his chest, just like before he lost his memory.

They were meant to be this close.

Chi Chen cleared his mind of all distractions and settled down.

However, early the next morning...

"Thump!"

Chi Chen was kicked off the bed in his dream.

He looked at the young man on the bed with sleepy eyes. His cold gaze had lost all trace of yesterday's cautiousness or childlike vulnerability, leaving only the aloofness that Xu Yan had when they first met.

Chi Chen was even more bewildered, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart, "Wife...?"

Upon hearing the voice, the handsome young man frowned, his voice as cold as shattered jade, "Who are you? Where is this?"

Chi Chen: "..."

Okay, on the bright side, my wife has recovered half of her memory, at least to the point where she's an adult.

It's just that we haven't gotten to the point where we know each other yet.

Xu Yan's memories of yesterday had probably been refreshed, so she didn't recognize him at all.

Chi Chen sat on the floor for a few seconds, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

There was a sense of loss at not being able to see the adorable Xu Yan again, but also a touch of relief.

It looks like after another nap, I might fully recover.

He stood up, rubbing his aching tailbone. "Honey, our marriage certificate is downstairs. Do you want to go down and check it? You suffered a head injury in the car accident and have amnesia."

Xu Yan was somewhat skeptical, but when he looked down at the somewhat absurd pajamas he was wearing, he had to try to understand the situation of amnesia.

He stood up and looked around. Everything was unfamiliar. His gaze fell on the only man in the room, whose eager look made him uncomfortable. "Lead the way."

"Yes, my wife." Chi Chen obediently accepted the order.

Xu Yan felt even more confused; how could he possibly marry such a frivolous person?

Stepping out of the room, Xu Yan realized that she was in a villa with a spacious corridor covered with thick, soft, and difficult-to-clean carpets.

The curved staircase at the end and the atrium are decorated in a luxurious and sophisticated manner, with many items appearing to be very expensive.

Could it be that he's only with this person for money, even though this person is indeed very good-looking, almost perfect?

As Xu Yan walked down the stairs, she lowered her head slightly and noticed the pink fluffy pajamas she was wearing.

Did he wear it himself?

If someone really changed his clothes while he was sleeping, he couldn't possibly not know.

Could it really be amnesia?

Just thinking about what she was wearing made Xu Yan's cheeks burn, and she even slowed down her pace.

Having reached the bottom of the stairs, Chi Chen turned around, pointing to the framed photo on the wall, "See, wife? Now you should believe me—"

He froze before he could finish speaking.

Because Xu Yan was still on the last few steps of the stairs, her head slightly lowered, her thick eyelashes drooping, and her cheeks and slender neck were flushed pink.

Perhaps she was thinking of something, her pink and white lips were tightly pursed, and beneath the aloofness was a hint of embarrassment.

It looks so tempting.

Chi Chen's heart pounded wildly in his chest, and an impulse surged to his head. However, as if sensing this, the young man suddenly turned his gaze to him and said, "Could you tone it down a bit?"

"What..." Chi Chen was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

"Your lecherous gaze." Xu Yan's face was devoid of any emotion. After speaking, she paused, "It's disgusting."

"..." Chi Chen suddenly felt a surge of anger.

But a wife like that is also quite attractive, and she's an adult. It would be great if she were willing to sleep with him.

Her reserved and shy demeanor is quite charming.

Chi Chen's mind was a jumble of thoughts, but he calmed down and said again, "We are a legally married couple, we are in a free-love relationship."

Xu Yan ignored him, walked down the stairs and looked in the direction Chi Chen had just pointed. It was indeed the marriage certificate.

My own expression... feels so unfamiliar.

Even he himself didn't know how long it had been since he had shown such a gentle expression.

Did he really like this person before he lost his memory?

"I have no memory now and don't want to live with strangers," Xu Yan said after reading the report.

“Your room is over there.” Chi Chen pointed to Xu Yan’s room. “But you used to come to my room every night.”

Xu Yan's face suddenly turned red, as if she had thought of something.

Looking at Xu Yan's shy demeanor, Chi Chen suddenly realized that Xu Yan might not even have ever done a live stream before...

He probed, "Do you remember being a pornographic streamer on an overseas website?"

Xu Yan suddenly glared at him, her eyes filled with panic, and she lowered her voice guiltily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I..."

“I’m number one on the leaderboard. We’re together now, and we even kissed on live stream.” Chi Chen suddenly became interested. It was really fun to tease Xu Yan like this. He took out his phone and brought up the live stream page. “Look, this is my account. Number one on the leaderboard.”

Xu Yan's voice stopped abruptly. He couldn't believe he was doing this kind of live stream. "What are you making up..."

"There's a live replay here, from the platform." Chi Chen remained calm and clicked on the episode where they kissed.

Since it was a very popular live stream, the replay also received a lot of likes. "Then watch it yourself."

The platform's video quality is excellent; even Xu Yan herself felt there was absolutely no possibility of it being faked.

The two people in the video are behaving intimately, and he... how could he make such an explicit expression?

Xu Yan forced herself to look away from the erotic video. "Am I...do I really need money right now?"

She's doing live streams and getting married to her top fan.

He clearly remembered that he was in the prime of his career.

“No.” Chi Chen firmly grabbed Xu Yan’s hand under Xu Yan’s wary gaze. “We said it when we were together: sex is not vulgar.”

“You have desires for me, so we’ll be together,” Chi Chen said earnestly. “How about it… do you want to give it a try?”

Xu Yan didn't know how she could believe this person's endless lies.

He simply obeyed his strange husband's request and gave him a kiss, and then inexplicably they ended up on the bed together.

The thrill of doing this with a stranger husband is beyond imagination; even the mere touch of his fingers on his neck makes him react intensely.

Because it's unfamiliar, it's more sensitive.

Xu Yan turned her head away, covered her eyes with the back of her hand, her ears turned bright red, and a low sob escaped her throat.

Chi Chen took in the stunning sight before him, forcefully pulled Xu Yan's arm away and pressed it onto the pillow, his voice hoarse, "Look at me, wife."

Xu Yan wanted to retort, but found that he couldn't make a complete sound. He subconsciously turned his head, his crimson eyes like peach blossoms.

This is so strange, so very strange.

How could he react so strongly to a man he didn't know at all?

An electric current spread through his body from the two days ago. Unable to suppress his emotions, Chi Chen leaned down and covered those lips with his.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yan felt a dazzling white light before her eyes, and her unfocused gaze swept over Chi Chen's sweaty jawline and his taut, handsome profile...

It feels so familiar.

This is... his lover.

A sharp pain shot through my head.

Xu Yan remembered everything.

He was stunned for a moment, his cheeks burning uncontrollably.

All memories from the period of amnesia have been restored.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Chi Chen, "You lied to me and made me call you brother?"

Chi Chen leaned weakly on his shoulder, "Wife, I wish I had met you sooner."

Xu Yan paused for a moment, then said, "You wouldn't have liked me back then either."

It was thin and gloomy.

“I will,” Chi Chen said confidently. “My wife has a fatal attraction for me at every stage of her life.”

Xu Yan looked at Chi Chen's wet eyelashes and suddenly smiled, "Childish."

"Wife, you're finally back." Chi Chen hummed and hugged Xu Yan tightly, ignoring her disgusted look. "I want to stick with my wife for the rest of my life. Even if my wife gets Alzheimer's and doesn't remember me, I will still take care of her for the rest of my life."

"Am I destined to get Alzheimer's...?" Xu Yan found it somewhat amusing.

"Because I don't want to be a burden to my wife," Chi Chen said in a sticky, coquettish tone.

Xu Yan was already used to the other person's appearance, but at this moment she felt a little sour and tender.

They are indeed a match made in heaven.
