Chapter 829: Chapter 870 Selective AmnesiaLi Yifei made a phone call to the saint, mentioning that Xu Yingying had awakened. The saint was also greatly surprised. Amnesia often involved losing memory for a period of time, such as a month, a year, or even longer, but Xu Yingying had forgotten everything about her relationship with Li Yifei, which was unheard of.
"Hehe, this might be like her self-isolation; she was unwilling to accept emotional matters at that time, so she always refused to wake up and face it. But when she had to wake up, she chose to forget this relationship entirely. The human spirit is truly amazing."
Everyone went to see Xu Yingying again; she had rested for a while and felt somewhat better. As soon as they entered, she immediately said, "Where is this? This isnât my home?"
Everyone was stunned; Xu Yingyingâs memory loss was truly thorough, not even recognizing the home she and Li Yifei bought together. This was something that caught everyone off guard, but luckily they reacted quickly. Su Mengxin immediately said, "I bought this apartment. Youâve been in a coma and needed care, so we moved you here for convenience."
Xu Yingying immediately expressed her gratitude, "Thank you so much."
"Why be so formal with me?" Su Mengxin replied with a slight smile, yet her heart felt somewhat bitter. Xu Yingyingâs selective amnesia was related to her, even if others didnât mention it, she knew it well.
Xu Yingying then looked at Xu Shanshan and asked, "Shanshan, do mom and dad know about my coma?"
Xu Shanshan quickly answered, "No, Iâve kept it from them. I pretended to be you and called them. A few days ago, my brother-in-law and I visited them to keep them reassured."
"Wait, you said mom and dad know about Li Yifei?" Xu Yingyingâs eyes widened.
Xu Shanshan gave a wry smile, "Believe it or not, Yifei is definitely your husband. You two have even registered your marriage, itâs just that the wedding ceremony wasnât held."
"How is that possible? How did I end up marrying him?" Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei, her brows deeply furrowed.
Su Mengxin laughed, "This is your family matter; we shouldnât interfere. Yingying, youâre finally awake, but we still donât know your physical condition. Letâs get a check-up at the hospital."
On mentioning this, everyone became anxious, and although Xu Yingying was reluctant, she still let everyone persuade her to go to the hospital for an examination.
The results came out quickly; Xu Yingying was fine except for some physical weakness. As for the amnesia, even the hospital couldnât explain it.
Leaving the hospital, Xu Yingying was able to walk on her own and said to Su Mengxin, "Mengxin, Iâve troubled you for so long. I donât have any issues now; I should go home."
Su Mengxin nodded, "If you wish to go back, then go ahead. Weâre all in the same neighborhood, so thereâs always someone nearby to look after you."
Once in the neighborhood, Xu Shanshan helped Xu Yingying walk towards their original apartment, with Li Yifei following behind them. At that moment, he couldnât quite describe his feelings. Xu Yingyingâs awakening was certainly joyous for him, but this amnesia was truly troubling, especially since Xu Yingying didnât recognize him as her husband at all.
Arriving at their original home, Xu Yingying stood at the door and frowned, "Shanshan, why is it so dusty here?"
Xu Shanshan quickly explained, "Youâve been in a coma for two months, and Iâve always been there to look after you. I had no time to clean here."
"Oh, that makes sense. Letâs clean up together; itâs really too messy."
Li Yifei quickly interjected, "Wife, you rest, Shanshan and I will clean up."
Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei with a peculiar expression and gently shook her head, "Li Yifei, I donât know how we became husband and wife. I really donât remember anything now. I only remember that you followed me from the previous company to Mengfeiâs. If you say coworkers, I can accept that, but as for being spouses, I really donât have any impression or feeling of that."
Li Yifei gave a wry smile, "I understand, but Iâm not in a hurry. Itâs just a temporary memory loss; it should recover after some time."
"Thank you for your understanding, but having you here right now really makes me feel awkward. Could you... not come here for a while?"
Li Yifei was taken aback, while Xu Shanshan immediately said, "How can this be? Sister, youâre not fully well yet. How can I take care of you alone? Besides, itâs a fact that you and brother-in-law are married. How could your own sister deceive you about that, right? Oh, let me get you something."
Saying this, Xu Shanshan pulled out their marriage certificate from her bag, which she had brought just to prove the relationship between Li Yifei and her sister.
Xu Yingying received the marriage certificate, staring at the photo of the two people on it, appearing very confused.
It was like someone who had never been married, waking up the next morning to find themselves marriedâit wasnât easy to accept.
Li Yifei then said, "Yingying, I know itâs hard for you to accept me right now, but Iâm not in a hurry. Letâs talk and live together for a while. I think that will help you recover your memory. You donât really want to lose this memory forever, do you?"
"Of course I want to remember, but the main thing right now is that I feel very strange inside."
Xu Shanshan said, "Alright, letâs talk about this slowly. Letâs clean up the house first; thereâs nowhere to sit right now."
In fact, Xu Yingyingâs amnesia was very distressing to everyone else, but Xu Shanshan was very excited about it. The reason was simple: it meant she could live with Xu Yingying and Li Yifei again like before. That period was the happiest time for Xu Shanshan. Every night at home, Li Yifei would massage her feet, and they would sneak in some little intimacies, making Xu Shanshan yearn for those times every time she thought back to them. But once they moved into that big house, that kind of life had never returned. Now, suddenly, they were going back to that old way of living, and the excitement was indescribable.
Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan first cleaned up the master bedroom and then let Xu Yingying go in to rest.
When Xu Yingying entered the bedroom, looking aroundâthere didnât seem to have been many changes, but there were far fewer clothes in the wardrobe. That wasnât the main issue, though; among the remaining clothes, aside from her own, there were also menâs clothes, including outerwear and even underwear.
This made Xu Yingying frown; she really couldnât remember, and it baffled her. Li Yifei had become her husband, it seemed, and it appeared they had lived together for a while. Yet, she couldnât remember anything.
Hearing Xu Shanshan chattering with Li Yifei outside in a very familiar manner further confirmed that Li Yifei was her husband, and the marriage certificate in her hand was solid proof.
Xu Yingying borrowed a cellphone from Xu Shanshan and called her parents from the room.
"Mom, how have you been recently?" Xu Yingying tentatively asked.
"Hehe, pretty well, Iâm playing with Little Yifei right now. Are you not busy today?"
"Oh, todayâs okay. Go on with your play. Iâll call you back when youâre free."
After hanging up, Xu Yingying spaced out for a moment. She had hung up slowly and still heard her mother saying to someone else, "My daughter is very filial, and the son-in-law is good..." But she missed a pointâher mother said she was playing with Little Yifei, but she hadnât considered who this Little Yifei was. At this moment, she had forgotten not only Ning Xinâer but also her daughter Little Yifei.
Although the house hadnât been cleaned for a long time, it was winter, the windows and doors were not opened, and there wasnât much dust. After cleaning for over an hour, the house looked renewed. Li Yifei then went out to buy some groceries and cooked a hearty dinner, though the dishes were all light; Xu Yingying had just woken up, and her stomach couldnât handle anything too greasy.
Sitting at the dining table, Xu Shanshan proudly said, "Sis, eat some; the dishes brother-in-law made are really delicious."
Xu Yingying took a biteâthe taste was indeed good. She glanced at Li Yifei and said, "I didnât expect you to have this skill."
Li Yifei had adjusted his mindset by then. Since Xu Yingying didnât remember anything, he would just interact with her this way. They had gotten married originally by some twist of fate without truly dating. This time, he wanted to pursue Xu Yingying anew and let her accept him in her heart once again.
He then chuckled and said, "You probably still think Iâm an aimless guy, donât you?"
Xu Yingying didnât deny it, saying, "According to my thoughts, you indeed donât have any special qualities, nor are you the person I should choose to be my husband."
Li Yifei laughed and said, "Then you can discover them slowly."
Xu Yingying took a couple of sips of porridge and asked, "How did I get hurt and fall into a coma?"
Xu Yingying looked at Li Yifei, who felt a pang in his heart upon thinking about it. If it werenât for his deep love, how could Xu Yingying have done such a thing? He met Xu Yingyingâs gaze tenderly and explained, "Someone attacked me, and at that time, you protected me by risking your life and covered me. As a result, a bullet hit your head, and thatâs why you fell into a coma."
Xu Yingying opened her mouth, and after a long while, said, "I actually protected you... Itâs really hard to imagine. Even if we are husband and wife, are you really worth that sacrifice?"
Li Yifeiâs face darkened immediately. Xu Yingying really didnât hold him in high esteem in her heart, making his role as a husband truly tragic.
