"Star!" Shen Yulin heard the sound and walked out of the bathroom, seeing me trembling and standing by the bed. He quickly approached me and lifted me into bed.
"Let go of me!" I glared at him with anger, struggling fiercely.
"Star... you... you remember?" Shen Yulin stared at my reaction in shock.
In a split second, I swung my arm, palm facing him. Surprisingly, he made no attempt to dodge and took the hit directly.
With a crisp "slap," a bright red handprint appeared on his fair cheek, but he seemed completely oblivious to it, his eyes fixed on me with disbelief and wild joy. It was as if he wasn't the one being hit; perhaps he cared more about something else than the pain on his face.
"Star, you remember everything now, right?" Shen Yulin asked again.
"I wish I could forget you forever!" The words seemed to squeeze out from between my teeth, filled with endless sorrow and sadness. Shen Yulin's gaze became hollow and confused, as if he had lost his soul. He forced a bitter smile, stood up slightly trembling, seemingly trying to suppress his inner pain. Then he slowly took a step back, maintaining some distance from me.
"Uncle and Brother Sister-in-law are still resting; if you need anything, just call for me." His voice was low and hoarse, revealing an indescribable fatigue. After saying this, he silently turned away without looking back. However, his silhouette appeared so lonely and helpless.
Hearing his words stirred a complex emotion within me. I bit my lip and stubbornly turned my head away, unwilling to meet his gaze again. "No need; as long as you're not here, everything is fine." My voice was cold and firm, without a hint of hesitation. It seemed I wanted to cover up my true feelings this way. I avoided looking at him and started scrolling through my phone.
The room fell into silence; neither of us spoke or exchanged glances. A tranquil yet heavy atmosphere enveloped the space, as if time had frozen in that moment.
Before long, the door creaked open slowly. My father's figure appeared before me; he hurried to the bedside, his eyes fixed on me with urgency. "Child, how do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?" Looking into my father's caring gaze brought warmth to my heart, and tears streamed down my face as I managed to say, "Dad..." These simple two words contained all my endless emotions and reliance. Seeing this scene, Shen Yulin quietly left the room.
"So you remember everything now?" My father reached out to gently stroke my hair, his eyes filled with deep concern and paternal love. I slightly tilted my head up to look at his weathered yet kind face, feeling a surge of complex emotions.
I bit my lip and gently nodded in response. A flicker of relief crossed my father's eyes but quickly turned serious again.
"Tell Dad the truth; what are your plans now?" His voice was low and firm as if waiting for an important answer from me. My throat felt dry; the words I had prepared suddenly caught in my throat. I hesitated for a moment, worry bubbling up inside me. I didn't know how to express my true thoughts for fear of disappointing or worrying my father. However, I also understood that at this moment, I needed to be honest and face this issue together with him.
So I gathered my courage and softly said, "Dad, I've made up my mind; this time, I believe I won't be wrong."
