Qin Xiao laughed, pulling her into his arms. "Of course he’s got guts. Have you seen whose kid he is?" Xiao Li covered her mouth, laughing. "Yes, yes, with such an amazing dad, no wonder he’s a bit of a daredevil! Dear, you’ve just set up a trap for your big brother, and he’s already fallen in. Now we can explain the situation to mom and dad." Qin Xiao took out his phone. "You tell them." Xiao Li shook her head. "No, you tell them!" She pouted and gave Qin Xiao a quick kiss. With that sweet perk, Qin Xiao somewhat resignedly but delightedly made the call that would earn him a scolding. After the call connected, and Qin Xiao explained that Xiao Li had recovered her memory, Mother Qin’s scolding burst out from the receiver! "Qin Xiao, you rascal, pulling a fast one on your parents again, huh? How dare you keep such a big deal from us! Wait a second, I get it, did you trick your brother again? Tricking your brother is one thing, but playing your own mother, are you itching for trouble?" Xiao Li lay in Qin Xiao’s arms, listening to Mother Qin’s reprimand, covering her mouth and laughing, feeling not an ounce of guilt for making Qin Xiao take the heat! After all, it wasn’t her idea for Qin Xiao to take the blame, and even if it was her on the phone, she wouldn’t get scolded. Mother Qin would certainly insist on passing the phone to Qin Xiao to give him a good talking-to. Because, in Mother Qin’s mind, only a sly fox-like Qin Xiao would pull such a stunt, while a gentle rabbit-like Xiao Li would never do such a thing! Qin Xiao could only obediently endure the scolding because if he didn’t take the blame for his wife, who would? Once Mother Qin had exhausted herself scolding, Qin Xiao smoothly apologized, admitted his mistake, and the matter was settled. After hanging up, Qin Xiao looked at Xiao Li in his arms. "Nini, I took such a big hit for you and endured such a long scolding, don’t you owe me a little comfort?" Xiao Li laughed, "Well, seeing as you didn’t rat me out despite being scolded so badly, I guess I can offer some comfort. So, what do you want?" Qin Xiao scooped her up in his arms and began heading upstairs. "What kind of comfort I want, don’t you know?" Xiao Li blushed slightly, "Don’t be , the kids are home, and we haven’t even checked on them yet." Qin Xiao carried Xiao Li into the room, kicked the door shut, and then locked it with Xiao Li still in his arms. "Don’t worry, the kids have the auntie to take care of them, and they’re used to being independent. What you should be worried about is how you’re going to comfort me now?" Xiao Li covered her face, entirely too flustered to speak. In the apartment near the university, Yue Wenwen had been confined here for over a week. At first, Gu Zhiyuan would occasionally come by to ask about Xiao Li. But seeing that she indeed knew little about Xiao Li’s affairs, he stopped coming. It’s been three days since he last came. Yue Wenwen stood at the window in the room, looking out. The floor she was on was the ninth, and looking down from here, she couldn’t really see anything, but still she stared. Rather than watching the outside, it was more like she was lost in thought over a single point. What should I do? It’s been three days since Gu Zhiyuan came, and I have no idea what’s going on outside now? Has my sister returned? Has she fallen into Gu Zhiyuan’s hands? No, she probably hasn’t. Professor Qin isn’t an ordinary person, he should be able to protect my sister, and Gu Zhiyuan wouldn’t easily make his move. With what Yue Wenwen knew about Gu Zhiyuan, he’d most likely try to make her sister his own, imprisoning her. With Professor Qin’s protection, it shouldn’t be easy for Gu Zhiyuan to snatch my sister and take her away. However, Gu Zhiyuan is in the shadows, and Professor Qin and my sister are out in the open; I fear they’ll be ambushed. No, I must figure out a way to leave here and inform Professor Qin about the situation; I can’t let my sister get hurt! The next day, Qin Xiao took Xiao Li to the university. "Dear, I’ll go find Professor Chen first, and afterwards I’ll wait for you in the lab. When you’re done with your class, head there directly." Today, Xiao Li wanted to ask Professor Chen how she could catch up on so much missed coursework in order to graduate smoothly. And there was her barely started thesis! Thinking about the thesis, Xiao Li almost wished she was still amnesiac, so she wouldn’t have these worries. They went their separate ways once they left the garage. Xiao Li headed straight to see Professor Chen, while Qin Xiao went to the lecture hall. After they left, a figure started trailing Xiao Li. Xiao Li went to Professor Chen’s office. When Professor Chen heard she had regained her memory, he was overjoyed. Among the three students he mentored, Xiao Li had the strongest academic abilities and the best specialized skills. It would be such a pity if amnesia rendered her abilities useless. As for Xiao Li’s worries about missed classes and her thesis, Professor Chen reassured her not to worry. As long as she buckled down, there’s still time. More than her thesis, Professor Chen was concerned about Xiao Li’s health. He knew she had suffered severe injuries, some with lasting effects, like previous memory loss and heart damage, some of which were irreversible. Xiao Li reassured Professor Chen not to worry, saying she knew her own body well. Her cognitive issues were mostly resolved, and as long as she maintained a calm mindset, her heart condition shouldn’t be too problematic. After spending some time with Professor Chen, arranging to officially resume her studies tomorrow, Xiao Li left. After leaving Professor Chen’s building, Xiao Li headed towards the lab. But shortly after, she felt as though someone was following her. However, when she turned, she couldn’t pinpoint anything abnormal; there were lots of students behind her. Even if someone was tailing her, she couldn’t figure out who. Furrowing her brow, Xiao Li stopped turning around and instead quickened her pace. Spotting Zhang Yang, she called out from a distance, "Zhang Yang!" Zhang Yang had successfully proposed yesterday, partied enthusiastically with his fiancée, and overslept this morning, arriving late. Feeling awkward already due to his tardiness, he was caught by his sister-in-law outside the lab, and oh, the feeling... Zhang Yang turned around sheepishly, "Sister-in-law..." Xiao Li quickened her pace to reach him, whispering, "Zhang Yang, someone’s following me stealthily, let’s get inside quickly." Upon hearing her, Zhang Yang promptly positioned himself behind Xiao Li, accompanying her into the building, only in the elevator did he ask uncertainly, "Sister-in-law, did you recover your memory?" Xiao Li nodded, "How did you know? Did your senior brother tell you?" Zhang Yang shook his head. "No, it’s just your presence and aura feel different, more like the old you. Sister-in-law, you mentioned someone’s following you, who is it?" Xiao Li shook her head. "I don’t know, with so many people on campus, I can’t tell who. But I can just feel that someone’s following me."
