Chapter 487: Recovering Memories
Just before dawn.
Sheng Hanyu woke up.
Hearing a slight movement on the bed, Yafei immediately sat up straight from her chair. Seeing Sheng Hanyu open his eyes, she was overjoyed and said in a rush, "Brother, you're awake? That's great, you've finally woken up. Do you know how worried we all were about you? Are you thirsty?"
Yafei originally wanted to go notify Shi Youxuan immediately, but at the last moment, she changed her mind.
Better not notify her yet; it was a rare moment to be alone with her brother, and she just wanted the two of them to be together!
"Who are you?" Sheng Hanyu's gaze was completely cold, icy and guarded.
Yafei was stunned.
It took her a good while to react: "Brother, it's me, Yafei. Don't you remember me?"
As she spoke, she intended to reach out and touch Sheng Hanyu's forehead to see if he was feverish and talking nonsense!
"Slap!"
Sheng Hanyu swatted her hand away, hitting it hard enough to sting.
He warned Yafei: "Miss, I don't care who you are, but please stay away from me. I don't know you."
Yafei stared at Sheng Hanyu, unable to believe it.
"Brother, are you joking with me?"
Sheng Hanyu: "Enough nonsense, get lost!"
After saying this, he threw off the quilt and got out of bed. Having lain down for too long, he didn't stand steadily when he got off the bed and almost fell.
Yafei subconsciously went to support him, but was pushed away by him.
Sheng Hanyu pulled open the door and saw Shi Youxuan standing at the entrance, her face full of surprise: "Hanyu!"
"Xuanxuan."
The two hugged each other tightly.
"Hanyu, you remembered me? That's great, you finally remembered me. I'm so happy, woooo..." Shi Youxuan wept with joy, crying like a child.
Sheng Hanyu was incredibly nervous, clumsily wiping away her tears.
He apologized gently, coaxing her: "I'm sorry, I made you worry about me."
"Don't cry. If you feel wronged, why don't you beat me up? If one beating isn't enough, then two, just don't cry. If you feel wronged, the son in your belly will feel wronged too. Don't take it out on my son..."
It would have been better if he hadn't said that.
Seeing him nervous about their son, Shi Youxuan simply patted her own belly: "Hmph! You only know how to be nervous about our son. Am I important or is he important? Next time you make me unhappy, I'll hit him, just to make your heart ache!"
"You're important, you're important, you are the most important person in our family!"
The couple showed their affection as if no one else was around.
Their eyes only held each other; there was simply no place for Yafei.
Yafei couldn't describe how she felt inside, and she left the room silently.
Wang Yong, Zhang Ma, and Lao Qi all came over.
Sheng Hanyu remembered them; he remembered the past.
He had only forgotten everything that happened in the last six months—not just Yafei, but also the people in the Fishing Village and everything that occurred there!
Everyone talked at once, briefly telling him about the events of the past six months.
Everything was basically true, except for the part where Yafei almost married him, which was omitted.
Because there was no point anymore; why talk about that?
It would only add unnecessary awkwardness.
Sheng Hanyu's head injury hadn't healed yet, but he was eager to return home and wanted to get back to Jiangzhou as soon as possible.
The cruise ship set sail again.
On the deck.
Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan stood shoulder to shoulder, gazing in the direction of the Fishing Village.
Actually, it was already too far to be seen, but neither of them had any intention of returning to the cabin.
"Reluctant to leave, aren't you?" Shi Youxuan suddenly blurted out.
"Hmm?"
Sheng Hanyu dotingly flicked her nose: "Nonsense, what is there to be reluctant about?"
Shi Youxuan glanced at this insincere man and bluntly exposed him: "Of course you're reluctant to leave the Fishing Village, and Yafei and Lao Ya Tou. Don't take me for a fool; you can fool others, but you can't hide it from me."
"Pretending to have forgotten the time in the Fishing Village? Please, next time you act, can you act a bit more realistically? If you're going to put on a show, do it properly. If your memory was missing six months, how would you know the child in my belly is your son?"
Sheng Hanyu:...
Fine, that was his oversight.
But the way this woman put it, it didn't sound nice!
"Hmph! Of course it's my son, who dares to doubt it?" Sheng Hanyu wrapped his arms around Shi Youxuan's shoulders, his arms full, holding both of them at once; this feeling was truly good.
But Shi Youxuan intended to settle scores later.
She wiggled out of Sheng Hanyu's arms, put one hand on her hip, and pointed at him with the other: "You did doubt it, you were the one who doubted it. Back then, you believed whatever Yafei said. Not only did you doubt that the child in my belly was yours, you even planned to marry another woman..."
The more Shi Youxuan spoke, the angrier she got, and she reached out to pinch his ear: "Sheng Hanyu, you better confess to me, do you like gentle women like Yafei?"
"I don't like her, I only like you."
This answer could be said to be full of survival instinct.
But Shi Youxuan did not decide to let him off easily just because his answer was perfect!
"Nonsense, Sheng Hanyu, you're lying again!"
"If you didn't like her, why were you going to marry her?"
Sheng Hanyu said: "That was me repaying a debt of gratitude, not liking her. The person I like is you, only you... no, that's not right, and our children too."
He pulled Shi Youxuan into his embrace.
The feeling of regaining what was lost is truly wonderful; holding his beloved woman, with family and friends waiting for them to return home.
Sheng Hanyu wished he could grow wings and fly back immediately.
Wings didn't grow, but they flew back nonetheless!
Jiangzhou Airport.
A crowd of people stood at the exit, all craning their necks in anticipation, waiting for the plane to land.
Upon learning the news that they were returning, Lady Jian was the one who bustled about the most happily.
She had the servants make several bright red banners, on which were written: Welcome Sheng Hanyu home.
We love you!
The hero of the Jian Family.
The Jian Family siblings were both speechless.
Jian Yining said: "Mom, doing this is a bit excessive!"
Jian Yixin did not spare her mother's feelings, hitting the nail on the head: "Mom is feeling guilty, so she's doing something to comfort herself; just leave her be. If we don't let her do this, she'll just come up with something else."
Lady Jian:...
Her daughter was right; she was already regretting it to death.
Just because she didn't let Jian Yixin and her brother go when Shi Youxuan went to find Sheng Hanyu, the two of them now had strong opinions about her.
Although they didn't go so far as to ignore her, they spoke with sarcasm and mockery, and they were insincere in their compliance.
They had clearly agreed nicely, with her son saying he would get married as soon as possible.
But after agreeing, he turned around and told her—his fiancée didn't agree!
Jin Wan'er insisted on waiting for Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu to return before getting married; she went to work on her future daughter-in-law, but was rebuffed with a single sentence: "No, or else you can just change people."
Who could she change to?
This daughter-in-law had a good background, good looks, and a good temper.
She was a daughter-in-law candidate she couldn't be more satisfied with, and most importantly, her son liked her too; she didn't dare offend her before she had even married into the family!
Although Shi Youxuan and Jin Wan'er hadn't done a test, everyone knew they were twins, biological sisters.
Lady Jian regretted not considering this layer back then, but it wasn't too late to regret it now; she would butter up Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan, hoping to use this to make a better impression on her children, her future daughter-in-law, and her son-in-law.
Thus, Lady Jian was incredibly proactive, jumping around from the moment she heard the news to prepare for Sheng Hanyu's return.
But doing so made it seem deliberate instead.
The group walked out from inside.
"Daddy, Mommy—"
Shi Ranran inside happily like a little bird.
Normally, the exit was for exiting only, but since she was a little child, the security personnel didn't stop her.
Shi Ran pounced over, and Sheng Hanyu scooped her up; he hadn't seen his daughter for half a year, and the little girl had grown quite a bit taller, but her weight had decreased.
