So Ye Xinning nodded and went with the nurse.
...
After treating the injury on her forehead, Ye Xinning returned to the entrance of the emergency room. Before she even got close, she heard a commotion coming from inside.
Just as she was wondering what had happened, she saw Shen Lin rush out from inside with a bandage wrapped around his forehead. His face looked terrible, and his eyes were filled with panic.
Ye Xinning looked down and saw that Shen Lin wasn't even wearing shoes, which puzzled her even more.
She stepped forward, lowered her voice, and asked in a cool tone, "What's wrong? Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
She asked, but before she could finish speaking, Shen Lin suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Her movements were so sudden that it took Ye Xinning a second to react.
"Chen Lin, let me go."
Shen Lin didn't speak, but held her tightly in his arms. After a long while, he spoke again, his voice low and soft, "Ningning."
Ye Xinning felt that Shen Lin's condition was a bit strange. When he spoke, he seemed to be in pain, and there was some feeling she couldn't quite describe...
It's more like a deep and affectionate immersion.
When the thought popped into her head, Ye Xinning shook her head and smiled silently to herself.
What is she thinking? Why is she overthinking something so simple?
She pushed Shen Lin away, and Shen Nanxing came out from inside at this moment. Ye Xinning looked at Shen Nanxing and said softly, "If he's alright, I'll be going now, Nanxing."
"Okay, goodbye Ningning."
"Okay, goodbye."
Ye Xinning left, and Shen Lin stood there, his gaze fixed on her departing figure.
As Shen Nanxing approached, she heard Shen Lin mutter to himself, "Ningning, I'm sorry."
Shen Nanxing assumed that Shen Lin's apology was about his divorce from Ye Xinning. "Brother, if you don't want to divorce your wife, you can tell her directly. How could she possibly know if you apologize to her behind her back like this?"
Shen Lin suddenly turned to look at Shen Nanxing, his gaze deep, "If she finds out, will she forgive me?"
Shen Nanxing subconsciously said, "I think Ningning is a very rational person. It just depends on whether she wants to or not."
A clear pain flashed in Shen Lin's eyes. "Is that really true? Will she really be willing to forgive me?"
Shen Nanxing looked at Shen Lin suspiciously, "Big brother, what's wrong with you? It was just a minor car accident, why are you so distraught?"
Shen Lin didn't say a word, turned around and went to the ward to change his clothes. When he came out, he left the hospital without saying a word.
...
Ming Mansion.
Shen Lin stood alone in the large bedroom, the place where he and Ye Xinning had lived. Standing here, he could recall every little detail about Ye Xinning, as well as those forgotten things from the past that came to mind. He remembered everything that happened before he lost his memory, and he also remembered everything that happened after he lost his memory.
But it was precisely this contrast before and after that made him feel headache, heartache, and discomfort in every part of his internal organs.
What has he done?
He was the one who was with her five years ago, but he always misunderstood that she was with another man.
The bracelet was a gift from him, a testament to their relationship, yet he repeatedly verbally abused her because of it.
Most importantly...
He had no idea that he and she had a child five years ago.
The child was gone after she separated from him, and all of this was inextricably linked to him. If he hadn't been in a car accident, if he hadn't lost his memory, hadn't forgotten her, and hadn't believed other people, would none of these things have happened?
He knew how much Ye Xinning had suffered over the years, and he knew that although Ye Xinning appeared strong on the outside, she actually needed someone to be with her and to care for her.
Five years ago, during the time they spent together, he gave her warmth, but after he forgot about her, he left her to suffer alone once again.
Just thinking about these things makes Shen Lin feel an unbearable heartache.
He should have loved her and protected her, but after losing his memory, he caused her so much pain and hurt her so many times.
She and he finally got married, but they divorced because he didn't appreciate it.
He once had a level of intimacy with her that no one else could reach, but he ruined it all.
He remembered, but he didn't dare tell her.
He didn't even know how to face her now.
...
Shen Lin stayed indoors for several days, locking himself in his bedroom every day. He didn't even say a word, just staring blankly at the few photos he had with Ye Xinning and the few things Ye Xinning hadn't taken with her.
Chi Zhao was the first to notice that Shen Lin was acting strangely. He also heard from Shen Lin that Shen Lin hadn't been to the company for a long time and that Shen Yu had been managing the company's affairs recently.
Chi Zhao leaned against the bar, an unlit cigarette in his hand. He looked at Shen Ting sitting opposite him and said, "This shouldn't be happening. Has the workaholic suddenly gone on strike?"
Shen Ting also found it strange. "Yes, when I went to deliver the things Aunt Xi had prepared this morning, my brother couldn't find anyone."
"Could it be about the divorce with Ye Xinning? That shouldn't be the case. It's been so long since the divorce. Even if he's sad, he shouldn't be so slow to realize it now."
"Yes, so I don't understand what's going on either. I can't even see my brother."
As the two were talking, a female voice suddenly rang in their ears, "You can't figure it out either, can you?"
The two looked up and saw Shen Nanxing standing not far away, her arms crossed and wearing a red dress.
Why are you here?
When Shen Ting spoke, her gaze unconsciously turned to Chi Zhao. Chi Zhao and Shen Nanxing hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she wondered what Shen Nanxing was thinking, as she had been avoiding Chi Zhao all this time.
Although they are in the same circle, if Shen Nanxing really wants to avoid it, meeting him becomes a very difficult thing.
“I went to the Shen residence to look for you, but you weren’t there. I guessed you were here.”
After Shen Nanxing finished speaking, Chi Zhao looked away from her.
Those who seek deep listening are merely seeking deep listening.
Shen Ting responded with an "Oh," and asked, "What do you need me for?"
"Weren't we talking about Big Brother? I can tell you when Big Brother started acting strangely. That day, he and Sister Ningning had a minor car accident. He fainted, and Sister Ningning took him to the hospital. He underwent various tests, and there was nothing seriously wrong. But Big Brother started acting very strangely from that day on."
"You mean, a minor car accident damaged your brother's brain?"
