Chapter 11.2

Yin Li seemed to feel moved . He pulled out his hand that had been stained by my falling tears, and cupped my face as he bent down to kiss me .

It was a deep, pa.s.sionate kiss .

He then rested his nose against mine . In between light pecks on the corners of my lips, he enunciated, “Yan Xiao, you’re also all that I have . ”

“I will forever be your s.h.i.+eld, and always stay by your side . ”

I felt slightly embarra.s.sed . “Why must you choose a time when I’m such an emotional wreck to declare your feelings?”

Yin Li looked a bit stupefied for a second, but then a smile quickly appeared on his face . “It signifies that I don’t just love you for your looks . ” Then he noticed the wound on my head and frowned . “How come this still hasn’t been treated? Did the accident cause any any more mental trauma? With two car accidents in a row, you might need to see a psychologist . ”

I hurriedly waved my hand . “No need! I’m perfectly fine! And also Yin Li, I have some good news for you! I remembered you! I definitely remembered those things in the past! Are you happy? Can this be considered as our post-disaster luck?”1

1 Yan Xiao uses 因祸得福, an idiom that means “to profit from a disaster” . It’s used to describe when there’s some good that comes out of a bad situation .

However, not a single trace of excitement appeared on Yin Li’s face . He unexpectedly frowned and his expression even darkened . He looked at me sharply . “What did you remember?”

I felt a bit disheartened by his reaction, but I continued nevertheless . “Because I like lilies, you once sent me hundreds of them to cheer me up; you even de-sh.e.l.led a lobster for me, getting your suit dirty . You had a meeting right after but didn’t have time to change, so you had no choice but to sport a large oil stain right over your chest on your jacket . Then there’s also the time you loudly confessed and asked for my hand in marriage, right outside my apartment . But I can’t really remember things too clearly . I can only remember this much . I can’t even recall your face or expression at those times . ” By now I realized how quiet Yin Li had become . The look in his eyes make it seem like he was listening to someone else’s story .

But then he asked, “Did you remember anything else? Like how we met? Or what friends you had in the past? The things we did together?”

He rarely asked me so many questions but sadly, I had no answers for him . I could only honestly shake my head . “Nothing, I can’t remember anything else . My head hurts . ”

I was somewhat apprehensive about Yin Li’s mood . “Are you unhappy?”
