In the middle of the night, I woke up feeling thirsty. The surroundings were pitch black, and I could only rely on the faint moonlight to guide me as I made my way downstairs for a drink. As my foot landed on the last step, a figure suddenly appeared in the darkness, startling me. My foot slipped, and I was about to fall when Shen Yulin caught me, holding me tightly in his arms. I inhaled the familiar scent of vanilla from him and slightly raised my head, unable to see his expression clearly; his figure appeared somewhat blurred in the dark. My heart raced instantly, and a strange feeling surged within me.
I hurriedly pushed him away. "Are you okay?" he asked softly. "I'm fine." I tried to sidestep him but accidentally brushed against his arm. In that moment, I felt his body tremble slightly.
I quickly ran into the kitchen, grabbed a cup of water, and hurriedly took a few sips before preparing to head back upstairs. When I turned around, I found Shen Yulin still standing in place, staring at me motionlessly. His gaze seemed to contain complex emotions that I couldn't decipher. Avoiding his eyes, I hurried up the stairs and returned to my room. The moment I closed the door, I let out a long sigh, trying to calm my racing heart.
However, that encounter in the darkness lingered in my mind, preventing me from falling asleep. When did Shen Yulin arrive? Why did I feel a twinge of sadness when he held me?
These thoughts persisted until dawn broke, and I finally fell into a drowsy sleep. I was awakened by the noise outside my door and opened my eyes impatiently. Getting up, I went outside. As I descended the stairs, I saw my father standing in the living room with an angry expression while my aunt leaned against Uncle's shoulder sobbing. Shen Yulin was kneeling before my father with his head bowed. Unsure if I should intervene, the housekeeper noticed me and said, "Miss, you're awake." Her words completely dispelled my intention to retreat back to my room, so I steeled myself and faced everyone.
My father's anger instantly faded as he looked at me with concern and reluctance. He quickly approached me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Xiao Fan, do you remember Dad? How are you feeling now?" A warmth surged in my heart as I smiled and replied, "Dad, of course I remember you. I'm fine."
"Then will you come home with Dad? I'll take care of you; don't stay at your aunt's anymore." My father looked at me eagerly.
"But..." I hesitated, involuntarily glancing toward my aunt and Shen Yulin's direction. My father's expression gradually darkened as he frowned and said sternly, "After what he did to you, do you still plan to be with him?"
I was taken aback, filled with confusion. What had he done to me?
So, I lifted my head and looked into my father's eyes seriously asking, "Dad, what do you mean by that? Why do you say such things?"
A hint of shock appeared in my father's gaze as he sighed deeply and released his grip on my hands.
"Brother-in-law, let the child stay here for now. With her current state, the more you say it, the more confused she becomes," Uncle spoke up.
Hearing my father's words made my heart feel chaotic. I bit my lip and tried to calm myself down. I knew that my father wouldn't say such things without reason; he must have known something about the memories I had lost. Should I reconsider my relationship with Shen Yulin?
Thinking of this made my head throb painfully. It felt as if an invisible force was gripping my head tightly; waves of pain washed over me like tides. Each heartbeat came with a sharp sting as if my skull might burst open. It felt like countless needles were darting around inside my head; the pain was unbearable, making the world spin around me and causing dizziness and nausea.
My body weakened, and I collapsed onto the floor.
"Xiao Fan!" "Star!" "Child!"
Everyone rushed over anxiously calling out to me, but I had already lost consciousness.
