Guan Lei still wanted to find a topic to tease Shen Xi, but Shen Xi quickly redirected the conversation to the incident of the research room’s data being stolen.

“Data theft, do you need help investigating?” Shen Xi broached the subject.

She knew that with the power of the Guan family, they didn’t really need her assistance, but she wanted to ask just in case Guan Lei’s unpredictable mouth decided to blurt out some inappropriate words she couldn’t handle.

To her surprise, Guan Lei immediately responded, “Of course, I need your help. It would be a bit troublesome for me to investigate on my own.”

Shen Xi couldn’t help but laugh at Guan Lei’s beseeching look. Upon realizing that she was laughing, Shen Xi was momentarily stunned.

Why did she feel so at ease and relaxed with Guan Lei? It was a sensation she hadn’t experienced before.

Was it because of the memories she had just recalled?

Shen Xi was puzzled, but she awkwardly suppressed her smile, and the atmosphere instantly fell into a strange silence.

Guan Lei noticed Shen Xi stifling her laughter, making a conscious effort to suppress her emotions.

To prevent Shen Xi from overthinking, Guan Lei began to playfully command her, “Xi, I want to eat some fruits!”

Shen Xi instinctively replied, “The doctor didn’t say you could eat right after the surgery.”

Guan Lei was taken aback and changed his approach, “Then I want to drink some water.”

Shen Xi furrowed her brows, “The doctor didn’t say you could drink water now either.’

Guan Lei’s smile was fading, and he pleaded, “Okay, Xi, my bad. You’re the boss, help me out.”

Feeling in a better mood, Shen Xi, who seemed to be falling for Guan Lei’s antics, became less reserved.

Considering that Guan Lei was a patient, she softened up a bit.

When Su Han and Guan Yan returned, they saw Shen Xi busy slicing fruits and handing water to Guan Lei.

After exchanging a glance, Guan Yan cleared his throat loudly, reminding both Shen Xi and Guan Lei that they had company and signaling Guan Lei to behave.

Finally getting a bit closer to Shen Xi today, they didn’t want him to mess it up on his own, or he might regret it later.

Su Han, seeing his son in better spirits, felt grateful to Shen Xi.

While enjoying the supper Su Han had brought, Shen Xi couldn’t help but think of the delicacies from Auspicious Dragon Hall. The delicate soup dumplings, almond pudding, and…

After a momentary lapse, Shen Xi suddenly remembered the scene where Guan Lei handed her candy.

That candy!

It was a specially made nutrient candy that Guan Lei, thinking her family was poor, had the chef at Auspicious Dragon Hall prepare for her during their senior year!

Shen Xi became slightly dazed. The almond pudding she had just scooped up fell back into the plastic bowl, drawing attention from those around her.

“Xi, what’s wrong? Is it not tasty, or are you feeling unwell?” Su Han asked with concern.

Seeing her pallid complexion, Su Han feared that Shen Xi might be having another episode.

Guan Lei and Guan Yan also looked at her with worry.

Since waking up, Guan Lei had only dared to tease Shen Xi in small doses, afraid that she might have an episode.

Seeing Shen Xi’s pale face, his heart also tensed, and he kept his gaze on her, not daring to relax for a moment.

Shen Xi looked at the concerned family of three and, after a brief pause, shook her head and said, “I’m fine, just a momentary tremor in my hand, nothing serious. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Secretly glancing at Guan Lei, Shen Xi silently lowered her head, continuing to search her memories.

However, just like before, she couldn’t recall anything other than those sudden fragments.

Could it be that recalling memories depended on these occasional snippets, rather than concentrating on the effort?

Thinking about it, maybe the more she tried to explore her memories, the greater the obstacles she would face.

Shen Xi wondered if the key to unlocking the hypnosis and manipulated memories was not to force it.

Could it be that forceful recollection wouldn’t work?

After having supper, Su Han suggested, “Xi, why don’t you rest on the side? Guan Lei’s father and I can take care of him here.’

Looking at the only bed nearby, Shen Xi declined, “No, since Guan Lei is already awake, I’ll head back. I’ll come again tomorrow..”
