In the afternoon, Jiang Jinwang sat on a chair in the ward, watching Shen Zhiyi video call her mother.

He heard her laughter and the words she used to comfort her parents.

My heart suddenly clenched.

Only he himself knew what a despicable lie he had woven using her forgetfulness.

He shamelessly kept her by his side.

But he always understood human nature.

If her parents knew, she would only have amnesia.

He will definitely return to China and take her away from him.

And more...

Tell her the fact that they have broken up.

She will then completely disappear from her life...

He spent half a year building a wall of avoidance through numb work, but it collapsed the moment he saw her, no... the moment he heard her name.

Now, dreams are woven.

How could he bear to puncture that candy-like exterior with his own hands... to pull out the bloody, suffocating reality...

After she left.

The life he deliberately abandoned had long since decayed.

Now she's "back".

The dust has completely disappeared.

How can he let go?

Jiang Jinwang lowered his eyes.

A cold, self-deprecating smile curled at the corners of his lips.

How ridiculous, Jiang Jinwang.

So it turns out that one day you'll find yourself in such a situation.

He agonized between "getting her" and "losing her."

These two things can be clearly distinguished.

He can't do any of them.

"Okay, goodbye Mom." Shen Zhiyi hung up the phone.

He turned to look at Jiang Jinwang, who was lost in thought.

She opened her arms to him.

"Honey, give me a hug."

Jiang Jinwang looked up and saw Shen Zhiyi's lively and charming eyes, like a dancing spring breeze that swept away all the dust from his heart.

He curled his fingertips.

He tolerated his own despicable behavior without any remorse.

Jiang Jinwang stood up.

He walked up to her, let her hug his waist, and gently patted her head with his large hand.

"Does it still hurt?"

Shen Zhiyi shook her head, "The dressing has been changed, and she's much better than yesterday."

Where is my phone?

She was video chatting with her mother just now, using his phone.

Jiang Jinwang paused.

His eyes darkened.

"It's damaged." He paused for a moment, "I doubt it can be fixed."

"Ah?" Shen Zhiyi sighed regretfully.

"There were so many photos of us stored inside, are they all gone?"

Jiang Jinwang felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

We broke up six months ago.

They've probably all been deleted by now.

He didn't open the photo album to look at it.

If he saw a photo of her with another man inside, he didn't know how he would fall asleep.

That's tantamount to self-torture.

Jiang Jinwang said in a low voice, "If it's gone, it's gone. I'll buy you a new one."

"We can film it again."

“From now on, there will be new memories…” He bent down and carefully embraced her, his voice trembling at the end, “Let’s start over.”

Shen Zhiyi tilted her head back at his neck.

"Why are you talking so strangely today?"

"What do you mean by starting over? It was never over at all, okay?"

She pouted, "Don't say anything unlucky."

Jiang Jinwang's eyes reddened instantly.

He tensed his jaw, swallowing the surging pain, and murmured, "Mmm."

"I'm not going to say anything more."

"We will not end."

Never.

He closed his eyes, as if drinking poison to quench his thirst, deceiving himself into drinking a cascade of lies, and his poison-filled heart was then nourished to bloom a magnificent flower.

An illusion, fleeting.

The price of his withering away was having his whole heart ripped out.

But so what?

When she left, she took his heart with her.

"Are you hungry?" Jiang Jinwang released her, his eyes gentle. "I'll go buy you some porridge."

Shen Zhiyi touched her belly and nodded.

"I can only eat this light food these days. Lunch is digested in no time."

"I'm actually a little hungry now."

She tilted her head and looked at him. "But don't you need to do rounds or perform surgeries?"

He's always the busiest.

"If you're busy, I can order takeout and ask the nurse to bring it in for me."

"No need." Jiang Jinwang touched her face.

"I've taken leave."

He used up all the vacation days he had accumulated during this period.

"During this time, I will only be with you."

"I will be Dr. Jiang for you alone."

He only takes care of her.

He just stared at her.

Until... she remembered everything, and filled with hatred, she left him again.

After a moment of stunned silence, Shen Zhiyi smiled with delight.

Are you telling the truth?

"Mmm." Jiang Jinwang didn't know that his presence would make her so happy.

All the pain and trauma seemed to vanish in an instant.

Shen Zhiyi repeated in disbelief.

"So, you'll come hiking with me?"

"Um."

"Will you accompany me shopping and for meals and drinks?"

"Um."

"You even had time to travel with me?"

"Um."

Jiang Jinwang saw in her increasingly surprised expression how badly he had done in the past.

He lowered his brows to look at her, his voice soft and gentle, "Whatever you want to do, I'll do it with you."

"Even watching you make a cake is fine."

"Waaah... Husband is the best..." Shen Zhiyi rushed over and rested her face against his chest. "Making a cake takes several hours. It's so boring for you to just watch from the side."

Fondant cakes are works of art.

Once she gets absorbed in something, she loses track of time.

At that point, he will definitely be ignored.
