Ah…
My head hurts so much…
Song Yinxi’s consciousness was hazy. Though her memories still lingered in the driver’s seat, the scent of hospital disinfectant filled her nostrils.
She slowly opened her eyes to see a strikingly handsome face wearing a smug, gloating expression.
Duan Jinchi sat by the hospital bed with his legs crossed, raising an eyebrow lazily: “Oh, finally awake? I thought you were going to sleep until you became a vegetable.”
Did this man have any conscience at all?
She had been in a car accident and was hospitalized! Even if they were arch-rivals, he should show some sympathy!
At the very least, he shouldn’t be laughing out loud.
A clever idea struck Song Yinxi. She put on a confused expression and asked softly: “You are… who?”
The smile froze on Duan Jinchi’s face.
Didn’t recognize him?
Really?
He narrowed his eyes, deciding to test her.
The next second, he suddenly grabbed her hand, his voice emotional and even tearful: “I’m your dear husband! Honey, don’t you remember me?”
(╯°□°)╯
That dog man!
What nonsense was he spouting!
Pretending to be her husband?
She hadn’t even been in a relationship before, where would she get a husband from!
Duan Jinchi said this without blushing or batting an eye.
What was he trying to do?
Trying to mess with her?
Fine, let’s see who could outplay whom!
Song Yinxi slightly furrowed her brows, her voice soft enough to squeeze out water: “I… I don’t remember…”
Duan Jinchi stared at her pale, weak face. She hadn’t hit him or shaken off his hand – could she really have amnesia?
She asked softly: “Are you really my husband?”
Duan Jinchi nodded without hesitation: “Yes!”
Song Yinxi slowly said: “But just now… you didn’t seem worried about me at all. How could I marry someone who doesn’t love me?”
“I was angry earlier. We have a driver at home, but you insisted on driving yourself. Your skills aren’t good, and now you’re lying here…” Duan Jinchi looked heartbroken, his tone unusually gentle, “Don’t be willful anymore. Luckily, you weren’t seriously injured this time.”
Hah, willful my ass!
Song Yinxi pulled her hand back, her voice tinged with grievance: “I got into a car accident, and you’re blaming me… You really don’t love me. It seems we had an arranged marriage without any emotional foundation.”
Duan Jinchi was taken aback, starting to panic.
He had never been in a relationship before – how would he know how to comfort an angry woman?
He and Song Yinxi always bickered whenever they met. Asking him to care for her was nearly impossible.
Steeling himself, he said firmly: “Love! Of course I love you!”
(ˉ▽￣～) Cut the crap~~
Song Yinxi sneered inwardly: Keep pretending, keep going.
“I don’t believe you…” She glanced at the handbag nearby, “Give me my bag.”
Duan Jinchi hesitated before handing it over.
Song Yinxi took out her phone, speaking naturally: “If you’re really my husband, there must be records in my phone.”
Duan Jinchi’s mouth twitched.
Damn.
Had water gotten into his brain?
Why did he pretend to be her husband!
Stupid!
Think fast, how to fix this!
“What’s your phone number?” Song Yinxi asked.
“199XXXXXXXX.”
Three large characters appeared on the screen – “Dog Man.”
“Hmm?” Song Yinxi’s tone rose slightly.
She directly dialed the number.
Duan Jinchi’s phone rang, and he quickly hung up.
But Song Yinxi still caught a glimpse of the contact name on his screen.
She smiled: “Bad Woman?”
“Honey, that’s from when we argued recently and changed it out of spite,” Duan Jinchi explained without changing expression.
“Is that so? A dog man and a bad woman… Then we’re quite the match.” Song Yinxi stared at the screen, thoughtful.
Calling her bad?
Then she’d have to live up to that name, or she’d be letting down this contact name.
“We’re husband and wife, of course we match!” Duan Jinchi said while quickly changing “Bad Woman” to “Wife” and showing her the screen, “I changed it back, you change yours too?”
“Okay~”
Song Yinxi also changed “Dog Man” to “Husband.”
Song Yinxi after amnesia… was so obedient.
Duan Jinchi was feeling somewhat novel when he noticed she was still browsing her phone – if she kept looking, he’d be exposed!
He quickly pressed the call button.
The doctor soon entered.
Duan Jinchi stepped back and said quietly: “Doctor Qian, she seems to have amnesia.”
Doctor Qian examined Song Yinxi and checked the scans: “The patient has some blood clots in her brain, but it’s not serious. It’s temporary – she’s lost some memories but will gradually recover them.”
“How long will it take?” Duan Jinchi lowered his voice, glancing at the weak figure on the hospital bed.
“It depends on the individual. Family members should spend more time with her, communicate more, and take her to familiar environments – that will help restore her memories.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
After seeing the doctor out, Duan Jinchi turned back to look at the hospital bed –
The previous Song Yinxi was always dressed glamorously, carrying herself like a young lady of privilege. This was the first time he’d seen her looking so vulnerable: without makeup, pale-faced, hair slightly messy, exuding a fragile, delicate beauty.
It made people want to care for her, to protect her.
“Husband, I want some water…Duan Jinchi stiffened completely, the tips of his ears turning red quietly.
She… what did she call him?
Husband??
“Husband?” Song Yinxi called again, “Water…”
He snapped back to reality, flustered as he poured water, raised the head of the bed, and handed her the cup.
Song Yinxi took small sips of water while thinking: What a coincidence that Duan Jinchi was the one waiting by her hospital bed after her car accident?
Was this guy following her?
Or… did he have a secret crush on her, which was why he pretended to be her husband?
No no no!
They had always been like fire and water – how could he possibly have a secret crush?
Duan Jinchi definitely wanted to mess with her.
After drinking water, she picked up her phone again.
Duan Jinchi quickly stopped her: “Honey, the doctor said you need rest. Don’t play with your phone.”
If she kept looking, he’d be exposed sooner or later!
“But I’m so bored… If I can’t look at my phone, then what should I look at?” Song Yinxi’s gaze shifted to Duan Jinchi’s face.
Although he was a dog man, Duan Jinchi was indeed known as one of Jingzhou’s most handsome young masters – with sharp, expressive eyebrows, deep-set eyes, a tall nose bridge, beautifully shaped lips, clean-cut facial features, exuding an elegant, noble aura with the relaxed, leisurely temperament of a wealthy young man.
Too bad…
They didn’t get along.
“Watch TV, or look at…” She paused, her amber eyes shifting slightly, “Look at your abs?”
Duan Jinchi: “…”
What did she want to look at!
Abs??
In her dreams!
His abs were only for his real wife!
Song Yinxi wasn’t his real wife!
“This… this is a hospital, it’s not really appropriate…” His ears turned redder, his voice lowering slightly.
Song Yinxi said matter-of-factly: “What’s inappropriate about it? We’re husband and wife – is there any part of you I haven’t seen? It’s not like I haven’t touched your abs before. Why so stingy!”
She really hadn’t seen them, really hadn’t touched them!
Damn…
Was this what Song Yinxi’s personality was like?
So… lewd?
If he wasn’t sure she had amnesia, Duan Jinchi would definitely suspect she was deliberately teasing him.
“It might cause a bad impression if someone comes in…” he struggled in a low voice.
“Ah…” Song Yinxi sighed, her tone disappointed, “It seems our marital relationship really isn’t good. And here you call yourself my dear husband – won’t let me play with my phone, won’t let me see your abs… How boring.”
