After a long time, Huangfu Yi finished the porridge. Murong Xue spoke while cleaning up the dish, "Yi, do you still have a headache?" She knew he would retrieve his memory once the blood stasis disappeared and she had checked that everything was fine with him, so his headache was very strange.

"No." Huangfu Yi answered her plainly while looking at her.

"Good. I need to clean up this place first. I will come back later. By the way, you can take a shower after having a rest." Murong Xue only helped him with the bath on the first day. He was a fast learner, so she only needed to show him once how things got done. She thought it might be because that he still kept his habits after losing his memory.

"Okay, I know. Sister, hurry up. I don't want to be alone upstairs." Huangfu Yi's sad voice came from behind.

Murong Xue heard it and turned to raise a smile, "I know."

The smile dazzled his eyes and he was still indulging in it while Murong Xue walked away. After a while, he covered his face with his hands and murmured to himself, "You're too cunning. Your smile..."

Murong Xue cleaned up everything and she went back to the room after greeting Chu Yisen, who was still busy working, with "Good night". The moment she entered the room, she saw Huangfu Yi come out of the bathroom with only a bath towel. His black hair was wet and the drops came all the way down to his good-looking face and then his smooth chest. The sexy scene made her blush and she turned around at once.

She stammered in a low voice, "Yi, Yi, why are you wearing nothing?"

When Huangfu Yi saw her red ears, a slight smile crossed his face. But his smile disappeared in an instant. He went forward and put his arms around her, "Sister, cold…"

Murong Xue shivered as she could feel the wet smooth chest against her back and his hands crossed in front of her chest. She froze for a while and then broke away from his hug to face him with a rosy face, "If so, wear some clothes in case you get a cold. Your hair is still wet. Come over." She held his hand to make him sit on the bed and tucked him in.

Then she took a clean towel from the bathroom to help dry up his hair, which she had been doing these days. Huangfu Yi seemed to be very careless about himself, always leaving his hair wet, but she did not find it strange as it was normal that a five-year-old boy forgot to dry up his hair. Murong Xue could not put up with his wet hair, so she always did it for him before going to sleep.

Lowering his head, Huangfu Yi smelled her unique fragrance and felt her small hands that were wiping his hair tenderly. His smile now was different from the previous, but Murong Xue was too busy to notice it. Otherwise, she would have noticed something.

Murong Xue found his hair very soft. Soft hair, a pretty face, and his artwork-like body made Murong Xue wonder who he really was. There was only one thing she could be sure about. He was not from the capital, which Chu Yisen just told her.

It made sense. He would have been very famous in the capital if he had been the local, but now there was nothing about him. Murong Xue had even doubted whether he was a foreigner, but he could speak her language very fluently.

Huangfu Yi seemed to be quieter since he woke up this evening. Although he was still very clingy, she found it a little uneasy to be alone with him. She owed this subtle feeling to Long Yi and the conversation she had with Chu Yisen today.

She knew what Chu Yisen said was right. Huangfu Yi would have his memory back in a few days, sooner or later, and he might still remember what happened these days. If she listened to him on everything, he probably would find it unlikeable at that time.

She decided that it would be better to let him sleep alone tonight since they were not real brother and sister. Even if they had been real brother and sister, it would have been still inappropriate for them to sleep in one bed. But she worried that he would have nightmares again. She had tried to part with him, but he always ran to her room at midnight, crying for some accompany.

At that time, he looked like the old her, who was abandoned by Fang Shihua and was left with deep scars. She knew what it was like to be in the burning h*ll, so she was spoiling him and wished to make him feel warm. In her eyes, she was saving her broken soul while taking care of him.

After some time, Murong Xue put down the towel and looked at Huangfu Yi, "Yi, would you sleep by yourself tonight? Okay?"

"Why? I want to sleep with you, Sister."

Murong Xue breathed a sigh of relief, "Yi, I didn't make it clear before. Men and women can’t share the same bed. Only husband and wife should sleep together. Understand? If you are afraid, I'll leave the light on."

Huangfu Yi reached out and hugged her, stopping her from leaving, "Sister, I want to be with you. Since only a couple could sleep together, why don't we make a pair?"

Murong Xue was startled, "No, only people loving each other could be a couple." She broke away from his arms and continued, "Besides, do you know, you can't hug me like this. Although you don't understand now, you will know it's for your good when you remember your past."

She could be sure that he would be troubled by this after retrieving his memory. No strangers could be comfortable with the intimacy. She was treating him as her brother now only because he lost his memory. If he recalled everything, she could not say for sure that she could still regard him as her brother.

Therefore, to avoid embarrassment, she decided to keep some distance in advance to adapt to the incoming change.

Huangfu Yi lowered his head and remained silent with his hand grabbing hers tightly.

"Yi, do you hear me?" Murong Xue asked again.

Huangfu Yi nodded but said no word.

"Then, let go of my hand and go to bed, okay?" Murong Xue's voice grew softer.

He did not budge an inch.

Murong Xue was speechless and she wondered whether he was in a mood. Now she found it difficult to be a good "stepmother" as she could do nothing with him, "Yi."

His grab became harder and harder, and now she suspected that they would keep this till the dawn.

Murong Xue checked the time and found it was already 1 a.m. Sleeping late would do no good to him and he was a patient who passed out today, so Murong Xue reached out one hand to loosen his grip. However, she failed.

Huangfu Yi never went against her before even if he was unwilling to do something. But today he only fought with silence.

Murong Xue thought for a while and found that he had been different since he woke up today. She wondered whether Long Yi had frightened him today, "Yi, don't you like the people arriving today? Did you recognize any one of them?" Murong Xue recalled that he watched Long Yi several times in the daytime, so she thought he might remember something.

Seeing her hopeful eyes, Huangfu Yi shook his head, "No, I don't know them. I want to sleep with you."

Murong Xue was having a headache and she felt that he was a little spoiled and it was hard for him to make a sudden change. With her hand in his hand, she found there was no way to get out of there and she knew he would cry even if she made it.

After a while, Murong Xue said hopelessly, "Fine. Let go of my hand. Let's sleep, but one quilt for each of us, okay?" She patted his head dotingly and decided to take responsibility since she had taken him home. Besides, she could understand why a child was doing this.

Hearing that, Huangfu Yi revealed a very appealing smile, which would have dazzled her if she had not been used to it these days.

She went to the other side of the bed and covered herself with the quilt she usually slept with. As usual, she lay down on the edge of the bed, leaving much room between him and her. Murong Xue raised a light smile and greeted Huangfu Yi on the other side in a soft voice, "Good night, Yi."

"Good night, Sister."

Gradually, Murong Xue fell into a sound sleep with smooth breath.

In the dark, Huangfu Yi slipped into Murong Xue's quilt and put his arm around her waist, with his body close to hers. Murong Xue turned over unconsciously and found a comfortable position for herself. With her face against his chest, she did a lip-smacking and continued her dream.

Huangfu Yi could not help laughing out when seeing her cute face. Hugging her soft body, he felt satisfied and closed his eyes at last.
