"Ha, she's finally awake."
Upon hearing the news, Xu Shi smiled and sighed, bid farewell to Pan Cheng, and followed Xia Ke'an, the little messenger, to her residence.
Xie Qingyan was also there—since she was a doctor, she took the initiative to take care of her.
Shen Qin sat quietly on the bed, still looking pale and sickly, but her eyes seemed vacant.
"Are you feeling alright?"
After testing her various physical data, Xie Qingyan removed her stethoscope and asked calmly.
"Um……"
Shen Qin's reply was somewhat wooden, "You are... Xie Qingyan, right?"
"Yes, it's me."
The dog woman nodded and smiled at her.
She had read the test report, and Miss Shen Qin's body was fine—to be honest, with her abnormal self-healing ability, as long as it wasn't an instant kill, there was absolutely no need to worry about her having any problems in this regard.
The problem lies with her mental state; the loss of too many memories will undoubtedly have an impact on her. Now that she has just awakened, she will naturally try every means to piece together the remaining fragments.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so calm, without even a trace of hostility—although for her, Xu Shi was her only enemy in the past, there's a saying that hatred extends to everything connected to the house, so she wouldn't have any good feelings towards the people around Xu Shi either.
But what's the situation now is hard to say.
"ah……"
Shen Qin was indeed trying very hard to recall, but she quickly became distressed, "My head hurts so much..."
"Don't rush, take your time."
Xie Qingyan quickly comforted her, "Just tell me whatever you can remember, and I'll help you organize it."
She was unusually gentle, after all, the two of them had gone through thick and thin together.
To be honest, if it weren't for Shen Qin, they would have all perished at the hands of the fish—no matter how good Xu Shi's plan was, someone still had to carry it out.
In a sense, this could be considered a life-saving grace... This was partly the reason she was so patient.
"I... I can remember you, Xia Wuyou, Xia Ke'an, Jiang Chengcheng..."
Shen Qin nodded, then murmured a few names that were relatively clear, "And..."
Just as she was about to speak, Xu Shi pushed the door open and walked in.
It was obvious to the naked eye that Shen Qin's eyes lit up the moment she saw him.
Her eyes are shining!
The next second, she jumped off the bed like a puppy and pounced into Xu Shi's arms.
"elder brother!"
Miss Shen Qin smiled sweetly from the bottom of her heart, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go, "Brother, you're finally here. Xiao Qin has been waiting for you for so long, I thought you didn't want me anymore..."
"..."
Upon seeing this, Xia Ke'an and Xie Qingyan exchanged a glance, and a helpless smile appeared on their faces simultaneously.
Well, how should I put it?
It's not exactly new for Xu Shi to be hugged and act cute by a beautiful girl, especially since everyone knew this would happen beforehand. To be honest, Xu Shi probably decided to keep Shen Qin by his side and train her slowly for this day, right?
But even so, when that day actually arrived, no matter how much they had mentally prepared themselves, they still couldn't help but want to complain.
Is it because this scoundrel is too capable? It might be okay if it were someone else, but he can even turn an enemy like Shen Qin, with whom he has a blood feud, into an ally... Wow, you're really something.
How could that be?
Xu Shi accepted it calmly, gently patting her head as he withdrew his hand. "I'm here now, aren't I? What were you two talking about just now?"
Just as Miss Shen Qin truly treated him as an older brother, he also treated her as a younger sister without any guilt.
If you didn't know, who would guess they were enemies before? They're the perfect example of brotherly love and sisterly respect.
"She was talking about her memories."
The woman secretly rolled her eyes and couldn't help but interject, breaking the friendly atmosphere.
"Right?"
Xu Shi nodded slightly and pulled Chen Qin back to sit on the edge of the bed. "How are you feeling? How much have you remembered?"
The exact same question was asked to a different person, and Shen Qin's attitude was clearly different.
"Hmm... I was just thinking about you, brother..."
She no longer had that blank expression; instead, she blushed as she spoke, "Xiao Qin can think of quite a lot, like how you feel about me, brother... um... there are other people here, so I won't say anymore."
It was clear that she had not forgotten what Xu Shi had done to her before, but even thinking about it, she no longer felt the same resistance and resentment as before; she only felt shy.
"Okay, okay."
Xu Shi smiled indulgently; as long as the goal was achieved, that was enough.
To be honest, the fact that Miss Shenqin turned out this way was basically within his expectations—it was all destined when she said "okay" inside the Sea God's body.
Because this means that she has voluntarily given up the last remaining shred of resistance.
Even if she hadn't been hit by the explosion of the Sea God, she would have completely forgotten everything about being sunk in the river.
From then on, the only "brother" in her memory was Xu Shi. The faint "unity of purpose" aura emanating from that scoundrel would attract her unconsciously, like catnip.
Under such circumstances, even the most unpleasant memories of the past will be filtered through a lens of happiness.
She might even complete the entire process herself, because "entropy of evil thoughts" has this effect. Once the seed in one's heart takes root and sprouts, those affected will unconsciously submit to Xu Shi, the source of this ability. Even if he doesn't say it, they will fill in the blanks in their own minds to justify certain things.
