"You don't need to comfort me, I'm fine!"

Ye Qiu waved his hand, thinking the doctor was trying to console him.

The doctor just smiled and said, "Young man, I'm telling the truth. Although your girlfriend can't be saved by medical means, there is another way that could completely restore her, but its success rate is very low."

Hearing the doctor's words, Ye Qiu slowly raised his head, a hopeful look appearing in his eyes, as he grabbed the doctor's arm: "Doctor, quickly tell me, what's the method?"

At this moment, Ye Qiu was determined to grasp even the slightest hope.

The doctor smiled and said, "Take your girlfriend back to the place where she was born and raised, and let her memories slowly resurface."

Ye Qiu was stunned, then looked at the unconscious Xu Lei and said, "But she—"

The doctor waved his hand, "We will use some methods to temporarily wake her up, but she truly has no memory."

"If you can't restore your little girlfriend's memory within the specified time, she will fall back into a coma, becoming a vegetative state, and she will truly never recover after that! Are you willing to try?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu fell into deep thought. The doctor also remained silent, quietly watching Ye Qiu as he made his decision.

Ye Qiu looked at the tightly closed eyes of Xu Lei, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, "Since it's like this anyway, let's give it a try."

Looking at the doctor: "Alright, I agree!"

"Very well." The doctor said, "Tomorrow, we'll administer the injection to your girlfriend. Once she wakes up, you should quickly take her to her birthplace. Remember, your time is limited to just a month. If she doesn't regain her memory within a month, she will never recover!"

...

After the doctor left, Ye Qiu rummaged through Xu Lei's personal belongings. Thankfully, when Xu Lei was brought to the hospital, Ye Qiu had brought her bag with him.

After searching for a while, Ye Qiu found Xu Lei's ID card, noting the address: "YN Province, Pengbo City, Minlai County, Xu Family Village."

"So, Teacher Xu's family is originally from YN... Just right, YN is also close to the Tibetan Region. After restoring Teacher Xu's memory, I can directly head to the Tibetan Region without delay!"

Ye Qiu made his plan, then noticed Xu Lei's Apple phone. He picked it up and, upon lighting up the screen, found it wasn't locked. After some thought, he decided to open the photo album for a look.

Inside were some of Xu Lei's selfies and some yoga photos that made Ye Qiu almost have a nosebleed. However, having seen Xu Lei nude before, Ye Qiu merely appreciated them.

Scrolling further down, when he saw a photo of Xu Lei with a man, Ye Qiu's eyebrows furrowed.

Looking at the man who somewhat resembled him and the intimate way he was with Xu Lei, Ye Qiu felt uncomfortable. But then he remembered the other guy was dead and hadn't had anything significant with Xu Lei, so he let it go.

After closing the phone and putting it back in Xu Lei's bag, Ye Qiu quietly watched Xu Lei, whose eyes were closed, and said, "Don't worry, Sister Lei, as long as there's a sliver of hope, I will never give up. This time, you'll surely regain your memory!"

He then walked to the window, looked at the night sky filled with stars, and sighed.

Although he hoped Xu Lei could recover, from the doctor's words, he could tell that achieving this was very difficult.

As for his feelings about Xu Lei, Ye Qiu wasn't sure. If he considered her a lover, then what about Lin Xirou?

"Xirou!"

Thinking of Lin Xirou, he remembered the upcoming Highway Hero performance in Shangjing, where he would finally see Lin Xirou, causing Ye Qiu to get a bit excited. After a moment of hesitation, he took out his phone and called Lin Xirou.

The phone was quickly connected, and Lin Xirou's soft voice came through: "Ye Qiu, I... I have something to tell you. We... we might not be able to meet this time!"

"Ah?"

Ye Qiu was taken aback, "Why, Xirou, aren't you coming to Shangjing? Did something happen?"

Ye Qiu was worried as Lin Xirou's tone was a bit off.

Lin Xirou said, "Don't worry, Ye Qiu, I'm fine. It's just that the new season is about to start, and I need to train hard to achieve good results."

Ye Qiu furrowed his eyebrows, thinking: "There's still more than half a year until the new season starts. Xirou is... perhaps she's truly pursuing her dreams by training hard."

Growing up with Lin Xirou, Ye Qiu naturally knew about her racing dreams. While he felt a bit lost, he still nodded, "Alright then, Xirou, just don't overwork yourself."

"Hmm, don't worry, Ye Qiu, I'll take care of myself."

Lin Xirou said, "Oh, and Ye Qiu, you have to try hard too. Didn't you say you would participate in the new season as well? Let's compete then and see who's better! If you lose to me, it'll be embarrassing!"

Ye Qiu chuckled and said, "Don't get too cocky, Xirou. I'll surprise you!"

The two of them exchanged some sweet words, and after hanging up, Ye Qiu looked at his phone, full of doubt. He felt something was off with Lin Xirou, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was, as if she was hiding something from him!

Unable to understand, Ye Qiu decided not to think about it anymore. Instead, he sat by Xu Lei's bed, full of confusion, and slowly fell asleep!

...

The next day, Ye Qiu was woken up by someone gently patting him. When he opened his eyes, he saw an adorable petite nurse with a delicate appearance.

"Oh no, I overslept again!" Ye Qiu stood up and apologized apologetically.

The young nurse revealed a charming dimpled smile and said, "It's okay, but I still advise you not to sleep like this anymore, it's bad for your health!"

Ye Qiu nodded, "Thank you for your concern!"

The little nurse gave a slight smile, glanced at Xu Lei on the hospital bed, and said, "That's your girlfriend, right? You're really good to her, staying by her side every night. She would definitely feel happy if she knew!"

Ye Qiu smiled without explaining anything.

Then, hearing the nurse's somewhat broken Chinese, he asked, "You're not from Huaxia?"

The little nurse smiled sweetly and replied, "Yes, I'm from Japan!"

"Oh, you're Japanese!" Ye Qiu nodded, recalling the little Japanese martial artist he defeated the other night, with a cold smile.

Although he didn't have a good impression of Japanese people, he didn't feel the same annoyance towards this cute little nurse in front of him. However, he also didn't want to say much more.

At this moment, the little nurse extended her hand kindly and said, "Let's get to know each other. I'm called Xia Zi, from Tokyo, Japan. What's your name?"

Seeing the proactively friendly little nurse, and noticing her smiling face, Ye Qiu couldn't refuse. He extended his hand and lightly shook her small, soft hand, saying, "I'm Ye Qiu, from China!"
