"I'm not leaving." Xie Huaiyang's tone hardened as he gripped her wrist, saying shamelessly, "Then you can argue with me, okay?"
"Consider it compensation for almost hitting you. I'll take care of you."
"You're irresponsible. I'm not that kind of person."
Shen Zhiyi: "Xie Huaiyang, are you being reasonable? Why are you being so persistent?"
"You're my girlfriend..." Xie Huaiyang said, sounding aggrieved but completely convinced.
Shen Zhiyi felt like he was playing music to a cow.
She tried to pull her hand away, but before she could move it twice, Xie Huaiyang suddenly gasped.
"Ouch... my head hurts so much."
Shen Zhiyi froze, a hint of panic flashing in her blank eyes. "What's wrong? Did you touch your wound?"
Xie Huaiyang suddenly hugged her.
He pulled her into his broad chest, one hand supporting the back of her neck, the other gripping her waist, and whispered breathlessly, "You still say we're not a couple."
"She clearly cares about me so much."
Shen Zhiyi's ears turned red.
She remembered the doctor's words about not agitating him, closed her eyes, and said, "One month."
She compromised, saying, "I'll only let you stay for one month."
"Once your injuries heal, you can leave immediately."
Once he regains his memory, he'll leave on his own even if she doesn't chase him away.
Xie Huaiyang became happy and hugged her even tighter. "Mmm."
He gently brushed his chin against the top of her head, letting out a satisfied murmur of triumph.
"I'll do whatever you say, baby."
Shen Zhiyi pushed his chest, "Let go of me first."
Xie Huaiyang loosened his grip.
She broke free from his embrace, her breath still a little unsteady. "You can stay, but you have to agree. You can't just hug me like you did before."
She took a deep breath, her ears still flushed, and said lightly and quickly, "I can't stand this."
Her tone was one of embarrassment and annoyance.
Xie Huaiyang's gaze was fixed on her, staring at her lips that opened and closed, their color a deep red. His eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
"good."
He actually... couldn't take it either.
“Also,” Shen Zhiyi stretched out her hand, “you have to hand over your photos and diary to me for safekeeping.”
"What do you need them for?" Xie Huaiyang thought of the words in the diary, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously hugged the cardboard box.
Shen Zhiyi frowned. "Are you going to give it to me or not?"
"If you don't give it to me, you can go back now."
You're kidding, that's full of evidence of how he treated her before, and so many photos. Do you think she'd let him keep it?
Xie Huaiyang curled his fingers.
"OK."
He handed the cardboard box to her, staring into her unfocused eyes, and whispered, "Then baby has to promise me you won't show it to anyone else."

Shen Zhiyi sat on the master bedroom bed and touched the diary in her hand.
She gave a soft hum.
It contains countless embarrassing stories about her.
How could she possibly show something like this to anyone else?
She fumbled to open the bedside table drawer and put the diary inside.
On the other side, the guest bedroom.
Xie Huaiyang is on the phone with Mingjie.
Was I really as promiscuous as she described before?
Mingjie exclaimed, "Yang-ge, you're known as the 'Peacock,' haven't you forgotten?"
Xie Huaiyang: "..."
"So, you're saying I really have a lot of women around me?"
“No,” Mingjie said. “Those are just rumors circulating outside, and most of them were spread by you yourself.”
Xie Huaiyang: ?
Why would I do such a thing?
“Who knows?” Mingjie paused, then suddenly said, “Maybe… it’s because of your brother.”
"My brother?" Xie Huaiyang vaguely recalled a face, his brows furrowing deeply.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." He scratched his hair in distress. "The problem now is that Shen Zhiyi believes what people outside are saying and thinks I'm unclean. Now she won't let me hug her."
What should I do?
