Chapter 6
Living Together

Then Li Yu and Prince Bing went downstairs to Dr. Jin's clinic, where they saw Ji Gong Fu and Dr. Jin playing with her.

Li Yu spoke up, "Dr. Jin, what can we do to help Ah Xiang regain her memory?"

Dr. Jin thought for a moment and replied, "Try to recreate an environment from before Ah Xiang was nine years old, using familiar surroundings to stimulate her memory and see if she can remember!"

Then the three of them looked at Ba Gu and Prince Bing. Prince Bing sighed and said, "You all decide, as long as we can help Ah Xiang!"

So the three of them went to ask their neighbors for help. A group of people brought a pile of things to Prince Bing's house. Ba Gu and Prince Bing were somewhat at a loss, but under Li Yu's pressure, they had no choice but to let everyone set up in the house.

In the following days, Ah Xiang tormented Ba Gu and Prince Bing.

During these days, Li Yu also signed in and received many rewards. Seeing that Ah Xiang had been tormenting Ba Gu and Prince Bing for several days, he felt it was time and went upstairs to find Ah Xiang. Taking advantage of Ba Gu and Prince Bing's inattention, he secretly told Ah Xiang that it was almost done and they could wrap it up!

Ah Xiang nodded and began to act again! At that moment, Ba Gu and Prince Bing walked over, and Ah Xiang suddenly stood up, pushing them both, saying, "Get out of here, go!" When she found she couldn't push them away, she picked up a nearby bamboo stick and started hitting them.

Ba Gu and Prince Bing quickly dodged, and when they saw Ah Xiang raise the bamboo stick, they hurriedly rushed downstairs.

As they went down, Ba Gu cursed, "This ungrateful girl! I took care of her, and she actually wants to kick us out!"

Prince Bing sighed and said, "She's just a child now; why are you still holding grudges?"

Ba Gu put her hands on her hips and said, "She's tormented me for days; I can't just swallow this!"

At that moment, Ah Xiang was retreating on the second floor, shouting, "I'm very good; don't sell me! I'll be obedient." Then she stepped off the stairs and fell down. Fortunately, Li Yu caught her, but Ah Xiang had already fainted.

Li Yu took Ah Xiang to Dr. Jin's clinic. In the clinic, everyone stood around looking at Ah Xiang, and Li Yu asked, "Why did Ah Xiang suddenly faint again?"

Dr. Jin replied, "Ah Xiang's condition seems to be a case of forced amnesia."

Li Yu quickly asked, "Is there any way to cure Ah Xiang?"

Dr. Jin thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is a Western treatment called hypnosis that can help, but it requires a high level of skill from the doctor. I'm getting old and don't have enough energy, so I'm afraid it might fail! If it fails, the consequences could be severe; her memory might remain stuck at age nine!"

After hearing this, Li Yu said, "Dr. Jin, I believe in you. Please help Ah Xiang!"

Dr. Jin hesitated, looking at Ba Gu and Prince Bing. Seeing this, Li Yu said, "Dr. Jin, you don't need to look at them anymore. I've redeemed Ah Xiang's contract! Now Ah Xiang is free!"

Dr. Jin looked at Li Yu in disbelief, then glanced at Prince Bing and Ba Gu. Seeing Dr. Jin looking at them, they could only nod helplessly!

Seeing Ba Gu and Prince Bing nod, Dr. Jin said, "Alright, then I'll use hypnosis to treat Ah Xiang. You all can go out for now!"

After two hours, Dr. Jin opened the door and said, "It's ready now; we just need to wait for Ah Xiang to wake up!"

Upon hearing this, everyone entered the clinic to wait for Ah Xiang to wake up. Another hour passed, and Ah Xiang slowly regained consciousness.

Li Yu saw that Ah Xiang was awake and exclaimed, "Ah Xiang, you're awake! You've been unconscious for several days!"

Ah Xiang, hearing this, said, "Did something happen to me? Why am I here? Fu Ge, is it true that my biological father didn't come to pick me up?" Her tone grew increasingly anxious!

Ji Gong Fu could only nod helplessly! Seeing this, Ah Xiang hugged Li Yu and began to cry! Li Yu gently patted her back to comfort her!

Dr. Jin, seeing Ah Xiang crying in Li Yu's arms, said, "Ah Xiang saying this means she's better!"

Li Yu responded, "It's all thanks to your amazing medical skills, Dr. Jin!"

Dr. Jin adjusted his glasses and smiled!

At this moment, Ah Xiang saw Ba Gu and Prince Bing and quickly released Li Yu, saying, "Ba Gu, Uncle Bing, I'm going to cook now." She started to get up, but Li Yu held her down, saying, "I've redeemed your contract! You have nothing to do with them anymore! From now on, you can stay with me."

Upon hearing this, Ah Xiang looked at Ba Gu and Prince Bing. They, seeing Ah Xiang looking at them, could only nod helplessly.

Seeing their reaction, Ah Xiang blushed and held Li Yu's hand, saying, "Thank you, Yu Ge!"

Li Yu, seeing Ah Xiang like this, patted her head and said, "We're already together; there's no need to be polite!"

Everyone looked at Ah Xiang and Li Yu like this, all showing smiles of blessing! Except for Ba Gu and Prince Bing, who both wore bitter expressions.

After a while, seeing that nothing was wrong, everyone returned to their homes! Ah Xiang and Li Yu also went back to Li Yu's house! Li Yu looked at Ah Xiang and smiled, "I never expected your acting skills to be so good, it seemed so real!"

Ah Xiang shyly replied, "It's just that when you told me the truth, I had already fainted once in your room. At that time, I regained my previous memories. Maybe I didn't faint for long, and when I woke up, you came in right away!"

Li Yu pondered and said, "No wonder when I came in, you looked so dazed!" He immediately hugged Ah Xiang and said, "It's alright now; with me around, no one will dare to bully you!" Ah Xiang softly replied, "Mm!"

The two enjoyed a moment together. Li Yu looked out the window; it was getting a bit dark, so he took Ah Xiang out to eat and shop. They bought a lot of things and returned to the courtyard with bags in hand.

Once inside, they put down their things and started organizing. After a while, Li Yu saw Ah Xiang sweating profusely from the busyness, so he went outside to fetch a large bucket of water. He returned to the house and started boiling water. While the water was boiling, Li Yu finished his bath, and the water was for Ah Xiang. After the water was ready, Ah Xiang went to wash up too.

After Ah Xiang finished washing, she came out with her hair still wet. Li Yu saw her and pulled her to sit on a stool, using a fan to help dry her hair.

After a long time, Ah Xiang's hair finally dried. Li Yu stood up, and at that moment, a soft body hugged him. He looked down at this soft girl and unconsciously leaned in to kiss her. Just as he was lost in the moment, he was pushed away and heard a soft voice say, "Not here, let's go into the room." Then Li Yu hugged Ah Xiang and went into the room, closing the door, while a cloud covered the moon.

The next day, Li Yu woke up slowly, looking at the delicate girl in his arms, recalling the craziness of last night, and he couldn't help but smile. He slowly pulled his hand out and casually signed in, 【Sign-in successful, congratulations to the host for receiving a small yellow fish】

“Sigh! The system's rewards are really getting worse.” After complaining, he washed up and left the courtyard. When he returned, he had a chicken in his hand. After processing it in the house, a bowl of delicious chicken soup was served, and he gently called Ah Xiang awake by the bedside.

Ah Xiang slowly sat up from the bed, gasping in pain. Seeing that she was sitting up, Li Yu fed her chicken soup, saying, "Come drink the chicken soup; you need to replenish your strength." Upon hearing this, Ah Xiang playfully hit Li Yu, saying, "You’re annoying!" but continued drinking. Soon, the bowl was empty. Seeing this, Li Yu said, "Alright, you can continue to lie down and rest!" He helped Ah Xiang lie down comfortably, then tidied up and went out again.

Li Yu went to the post office and received a letter sent by his uncle. This letter was in response to the letter Li Yu had sent to his uncle asking for help finding someone when he redeemed Ah Xiang's contract. After two days, he received a reply from his uncle, stating that he had received the letter and that finding someone would take a long time. Regardless of whether he found the person or not, he would reply to Li Yu, giving a time frame in which he would receive his response.

Opening the letter, it contained an address, which was indeed Ah Xiang's father's address! However, the last four words made Li Yu unsure of how to face Ah Xiang.

The line read: "This person is deceased." It turned out that the address was where Ah Xiang's father was buried.

Holding the letter, he returned to the room and quietly watched Ah Xiang, who was still asleep.

After a while, Ah Xiang slowly woke up and saw Li Yu staring at her in a daze, her face turning red. "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, slowly sitting up.

"Of course, it's because you're beautiful!" After saying this, he helped Ah Xiang up. Perhaps the chicken soup had worked; Ah Xiang didn't feel as much pain anymore.

"You're annoying; you just know how to make me happy!" After saying this, Ah Xiang went to wash up.

Seeing that Ah Xiang was done washing, Li Yu said, "Today, I want to take you to a place." Ah Xiang replied, "Mm!"

Li Yu took Ah Xiang to a tea house to eat something before getting into a car. This car was borrowed from Director Niu at the police station when Li Yu returned to the courtyard from the post office.

Li Yu and Ah Xiang arrived at the location mentioned in the letter. After getting out of the car, Ah Xiang saw that it was indeed a mountain forest and looked at Li Yu. Li Yu, seeing Ah Xiang's puzzled expression, said, "You'll know soon!" He led Ah Xiang to a tombstone, and Ah Xiang looked at Li Yu with confusion, asking, "Yu Ge, why did you bring me here?" But it seemed she sensed something, and tears welled up in her eyes!

Seeing Ah Xiang like this, Li Yu hugged her and said, "Ah Xiang, this is your father's grave. Your father didn't come to pick you up; he just can't anymore!"

At this moment, Ah Xiang was crying weakly in Li Yu's arms. After a long while, she finally calmed down and cleaned the tombstone. Li Yu cleared the weeds around it, and then they both bowed in respect before driving back. On the way back, Ah Xiang seemed to have let go of her burdens, leaning against Li Yu's shoulder and thanking him. They chatted and laughed together! When they returned to the courtyard, they had a simple meal and then went to sleep. That night, they didn't do anything else, just held each other as they fell asleep!
