Chapter 380 Is she trying to get rid of me?
Seeing Shen Li standing in the courtyard, holding the child and looking lost in thought, Lu Sheng walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Shen Li snapped out of her reverie, glanced down at the peacefully sleeping child in her arms, and gently shook her head: "It's nothing, I just felt the yard was a bit quiet."
Lu Sheng glanced in the direction of her gaze, then turned to look at Ming Xiangyang's room, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He clearly saw a faint figure behind the closed window, silently watching the direction of the courtyard.
How long will this stalemate last? This mutual avoidance and concern is torture for both of them.
Ming Xiangyang, standing behind the window, kept his gaze fixed on the slender figure in the courtyard. The child in her arms slept with his eyes curved, looking just like Shen Li.
He thought to himself that this was good enough; at least he could still live under the same roof as her and see her and the child every day. That was enough.
Shen Li suddenly felt a stirring in her heart, as if a burning gaze was fixed upon her.
Zhao Qing and Feng Ye had both gone out on business, and Lu Sheng was right beside her. The only person who could be watching her silently like this was Ming Xiangyang.
After hesitating for a long time, Shen Li finally couldn't help but raise her head and look at the room where Ming Xiangyang was.
The figure by the window seemed surprised that she would suddenly come to see her, and paused almost imperceptibly.
Lu Sheng saw all of this, turned around and went into the house to pour a glass of warm water and handed it to Shen Li. His tone was gentle and encouraging: "Li Li, let go of yourself. Don't confine yourself too much. It's too tiring. Ming Xiangyang, he's not unforgivable."
Shen Li turned sharply to look at Lu Sheng, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief: "Big brother, don't you hate him? Back then, he..."
Lu Sheng gently shook his head, his eyes filled with no hatred, only relief: "I don't hate him, not even a little bit. If it weren't for his medicine and his daily acupuncture treatments, it's uncertain whether I would have woken up now. The situation was so critical back then, he saved my life."
Shen Li's voice instantly choked with emotion, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Lu Sheng's hand, asking excitedly, "Big brother, you...you remembered? You remembered the past?"
Lu Sheng nodded, a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, I've remembered most of it. I've been taking the medicine he prescribed every day, and with him coming over for acupuncture every day, the effects of the medicine have gradually taken hold, and my memories have slowly returned."
Looking into Lu Sheng's familiar eyes, Shen Li's eyes instantly reddened. She held his hand tightly, her voice filled with relief, "Big brother, it's so good that you remember, so good..."
Now that my older brother has regained his memories, that familiar sense of belonging has finally returned.
"Big brother, please let him out!" Shen Li stepped forward, his voice tinged with urgency.
Lu Sheng's eyes darkened slightly, and he nodded gently: "Okay."
Lu Sheng took a step and walked towards Ming Xiangyang's room.
Ming Xiangyang stood by the window and saw him walk straight over. A look of confusion flashed across his eyes. The courtyard was spacious, and Shen Li and Lu Sheng had been talking very quietly. He hadn't heard a single word.
So when Lu Sheng stood at the door, Ming Xiangyang's heart jumped, his fingertips unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes, and he was filled with an indescribable tension.
"What's wrong?" He suppressed his panic, his voice slightly strained.
Lu Sheng said calmly, "Lili is calling you."
Ming Xiangyang followed his gaze to Shen Li in the courtyard, his heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of unease instantly spread through him.
Could it be... that she wants to get rid of me?
The moment this thought crossed my mind, my heart was filled with a deep sense of disappointment.
What should I do?
He didn't want to leave, he didn't want to leave this place or leave her at all.
Despite his turbulent emotions, he forced himself to walk slowly toward Shen Li.
"Lili...you were looking for me?" He lowered his eyes, not daring to look her in the eye, his voice carrying a barely perceptible unease.
Shen Li looked up and met his eyes, which were filled with tension. Her tone softened slightly: "Thank you for helping my brother regain his memory."
Upon hearing this, Ming Xiangyang relaxed his shoulders slightly and said in a low voice, "There's no need for such formality between us."
Shen Li changed the subject, looking at him seriously: "Can your bodies be switched back?"
These words struck Ming Xiangyang like a bolt from the blue.
If he switches back, will Lili never talk to him again?
His fingers suddenly tightened, his knuckles turned white, and even his breathing became somewhat labored.
Shen Li stared intently into his eyes, patiently waiting for his answer, her eyes full of anticipation.
Ming Xiangyang's mind was in complete turmoil—what should he say?
After a moment of silence, he spoke with difficulty, "I'm not sure. I don't know if it was because of that pill I used back then that caused our souls to be swapped. I've been researching a solution all this time."
He paused, then added, "If it really is a problem with the previous pill, perhaps... we could try switching it back."
Shen Li immediately pressed, "Will there be any danger?"
Ming Xiangyang's hands, hanging by his sides, trembled slightly, and his voice was low: "Unsure..."
Shen Li frowned, her tone tinged with disbelief: "With your excellent medical skills, you can be uncertain?"
Ming Xiangyang looked up, his gaze fixed intently on her, and murmured, "What if there's danger? Will you... still make us return it?"
Shen Li met his gaze, her tone firm: "If there's danger, then we won't switch. I just hope you can smoothly return to your original identities."
Returning to one's own identity?
So it is...
Ming Xiangyang's heart sank little by little—did returning to her own body mean that she no longer needed him?
He concealed the disappointment in his eyes and said in a calm voice, "Okay."
Shen Li was taken aback for a moment, wondering to herself: What does "good" mean?
Can it be exchanged, or can it not be exchanged?
She turned to look at Lu Sheng beside her, her eyes full of confusion.
Lu Sheng shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
At this point, silence fell again.
I finally understand that popular saying: When faced with a difficult question, why do you stop talking again?
Before long, Ming Xiangyang's figure disappeared completely from the courtyard.
Ming Xiangyang disappeared from sight after that.
Shen Li looked at the food laid out on the table, and her nose tingled slightly—the familiar taste was gone.
Actually, Shen Li knew from the first day he was gone that the food tasted different.
She turned to look at Lu Cheng, her voice soft: "Second Brother, has he left?"
Lu Cheng nodded: "Yes, he said he has something to do and will be leaving for a while."
Shen Li nodded silently and replied in a low voice, "Okay."
The three sat at the table eating dinner, but Shen Li fell silent again.
Her heart was filled with worry: Where did Ming Xiangyang go? What did he do this time?
No matter what, she didn't want anything to happen to Ming Xiangyang.
