Lunchtime was a delight. Zhang Zhi and the others were nearly moved to tears with gratitude towards Xiaofan.

They weren't pretending to be rich. As university students who already faced financial hardships, their remaining living expenses after paying tuition were sure to be minimal.

Xiaofan deeply understood this. Previously, he and Shen Zuimo could get by on meals costing less than a dozen yuan each and, when money was tight, would even buy some vegetables from the market to make do.

If it weren't for the money Ouyang Xiong gave him, and if he hadn't earned some money at the entertainment club, Xiaofan's monthly living expenses of around two thousand yuan would be just as tight, hesitant to spend an extra dime.

The girls from Capital University had high standards, but Zhang Zhi and the others successfully got phone numbers and contact info like QQ and WeChat.

As for what would happen next, it wasn't something Xiaofan could control. He focused on his meal, and after eating, left with Chen Mengying and Liu Siyan, leaving the three guys and three girls to chat on their own.

Chen Mengying wanted to go back to the dorm to prepare her bed and other stuff, so she suggested returning to school first.

Clearly, this little girl didn't want to disturb Xiaofan and Liu Siyan's rare alone time. Even if her heart felt a bit sour, it didn't matter.

"Hey, what made you think of coming to the Capital City?" Liu Siyan softly asked Xiaofan.

The two of them didn't use any transportation but walked along the roadside.

"For you, of course. I can't get into Capital University, but Mingyuan isn't far away." Xiaofan said cheerfully.

"Oh dear, if this were before, you wouldn't dare to speak to me like this. Meng Ying is right; the women at the bar have certainly spoiled you." Even though she knew what Xiaofan said wasn't true, she was still quite happy to hear it.

"In autumn, when gold wind and jade dew meet, countless people on earth would be surpassed when together. Tender love like water, the beautiful moment like a dream, reluctant to look back, reuniting on the magpie bridge, as long as love lasts, does distance matter?"

From the moment Xiaofan recited the first line of this poem, Liu Siyan suddenly stopped, waiting until Xiaofan finished.

And Xiaofan, realizing Liu Siyan had stopped, turned around, looking at the tender woman behind him. He softly said, "When I saw that letter, I felt like an idiot. If I'd realized your feelings earlier, I wouldn't have missed out."

"That poem wasn't written specifically for me by you." Liu Siyan laughed coquettishly as if trying to deny it.

"So, Miss Liu Siyan, do you have a boyfriend now? If not, would you be willing to be with me?" Xiaofan suddenly asked with a laugh.

Dumbfounded, Liu Siyan stood in place, staring at Xiaofan. The glaring sunlight made it hard for her to see him clearly.

This sentence, she had been waiting for it for so long, ever since high school, ever since she learned from classmates that he liked her, she'd been waiting for his confession. Really, she had waited too long.

Ever since she knew that Brother Ye she was looking for was Ye Xiaofan, she had always been hoping for this day to come. However, during the waiting process, between them appeared a Shen Zuimo.

"Hey, aren't you going to give me an answer?" Xiaofan also stood in place, looking at Liu Siyan.

"Who confesses to someone as casually as you?" Liu Siyan chided playfully.

"Then why don't you confess and let me learn…"

"You're annoying…"

In autumn, when gold wind and jade dew meet, it surpasses countless meetings on earth… Actually, Liu Siyan had originally written this poem for herself and Xiaofan, but also for him and Shen Zuimo.

She knew Xiaofan couldn't let go of Shen Zuimo, but worried that after she left for the Capital City, he might continue to fall into despair, so she left this poem to persuade him to get back on his feet.

If the love between two is long-lasting, does distance matter, this phrase was written for the three of them. And today, Xiaofan chose her. Did he really think it through?

Flowers bloom and fall, time flows and never returns. That innocence, that simple love, seemed to cease to exist.

In a faraway place, in a hospital room at the medical department of the Yanhuang Soul organization.

"How is it, doctor?" Shen Junjie anxiously waited outside the hospital room. Today was his sister's final surgery. If it was successful, maybe her memories would be restored.

"The surgery was very successful. She will probably wake up in about half an hour. You should wait here for half an hour. You're the one she's most familiar with here because no one can guarantee a hundred percent success rate in brain surgery. Although the blood clots have all been removed, no one can say what the outcome will be."

"Yes, thank you, doctor."

It turns out, when fleeing for his life back then at Phoenix Mountain, Shen Zuimo was shot and fell down the slope, injuring her head. Because it was covered by her hair, Xiaofan didn't know about the injury to Shen Zuimo's back head, nor that the clot pressuring against the nerves had caused memory loss.

If at that time, she'd been brought back home sooner to be checked by Ye Aotian, the cause would have been found immediately. But at that time, who could have thought of all this?

"Zuimo, you're awake? How do you feel?"

Half an hour later, Shen Zuimo gently opened her eyes. Her gaze was somewhat dazed, as if surprised by her surroundings.

"Hmm, it hurts…" Shen Zuimo wanted to use her hand to clutch her head, only to touch the thick bandages.

"Don't move, you just had surgery." Shen Junjie softly stepped forward to comfort her.

"Brother, where is this? Did you all save me?" Shen Zuimo asked in confusion.

Originally, Shen Junjie was overwhelmed with joy when she called him 'brother' for the first time, but the subsequent conversation left him dumbfounded.

"You, do you remember I'm your brother? Do you remember how you got here? And those files, did you manage to take them out?" Shen Junjie cautiously asked.

"Of course I remember you're my brother. I took the DNA test for verification myself, how could I forget? After that, I returned to the Red Butterfly organization to take the files out, then fled to H City to meet up with you, but didn't expect them to catch up so fast. Right, I remember I seemed to have been shot. I put the data on a memory card, it should be in my wallet." Shen Zuimo recounted the previous events with a frown.

"Doctor, doctor…" Shen Junjie was a bit panicked now. Her own words had come true; she remembered the past but had no recollection of recent events.

The doctor hurried over and re-examined Shen Zuimo, but her body was completely normal. As for why she couldn't remember those things, the doctor couldn't explain.

"Doctor, what should we do?" Shen Junjie asked anxiously.

"After all, the brain's research is not mature. Humans utilize less than five percent of their brain. I didn't know it would turn out like this either." The doctor admitted with difficulty.

"Then what can we do? We still can't get the data, and could Zuimo have some lingering conditions? What can we do for her?" Shen Junjie asked worriedly.

"Over these couple of days, you should speak to her a lot about things that happened after her memory loss. If you can bring in people she met after memory loss, it might be more effective. I'll discuss it with others in the medical department to determine the next steps. You should report to the higher-ups."

"Okay, I understand." Shen Junjie replied, returning to the hospital room.

Looking at his sister, who seemed bewildered and stared at him, Shen Junjie instinctively asked, "Do you remember Ye Xiaofan?"

"Ye Xiaofan? Who is that? Is he your friend?"
