Zhi Ruo calmly met his gaze, plunging into its dark abyss.

The man revealed a slight surprise into his eyes and the enveloping coldness of his eyes seemed to dissipate.

He tried to open his mouth to say something, moving his lips apart but at the end of the day, he still couldn't articulate anything.

' I let out my real persona. Will she not like me anymore? Will she kick me out? ' thoughts swirled into his messy mind.

Zhi Ruo saw the complications in his eyes and also couldn't bring herself to say much.

She quietly walked to the window and approached the grown-up man.

Zhi Ruo raised her hand and patted his head with a soft smile, " I bought sweets. Want to go down and try? "

The man, completely taken aback by her reaction, raised his head in surprise.

His lifeless eyes flashed with slight happiness and immediately nodded his head.

" Let's go. " Zhi Ruo smiled and extended her hand out.

w.a.n.g Yong promptly held hers and finally felt better after recovering most of his memories.

He never knew that recovering his memory would make him so troubled. His childhood caused him to close himself off and his time at the military camp also made him feel complicated. Worse, he couldn't remember what happened to him before being hospitalized.

After learning the reality of his life, he tried to rearrange his thoughts but too many of them gave him a headache. He tried to sleep only to wake up an hour later covered in sweat.

He resigned himself to let his mind wander by looking out in the big open.

When he saw her, he felt a wash of relief. The relief of knowing warmth. He knew things were definitely going to change after he recovered his memories but seeing that the girl still softly smiled at him and spoiled him made him calm down his restless mind.

There was a lot more to be said between them yet not a lot.

However, for now, he wanted to enjoy their silence.

A silence of comfort that screamed intentions of love and support.

w.a.n.g Yong held her soft hand into his and obediently let her lead the way.

They both walked down to the kitchen and sat down at the counter bar.

Zhi Ruo took out the desserts and let w.a.n.g Yong choose first.

He took a dark mousse while Zhi Ruo happily took the creme brulee.

Zhi Ruo's parents were out in the other city for a project while her brother was working late.

In the big house, there were only two of them and a few workers.

The whole mansion was silent and yet Zhi Ruo kept calm and continued eating her dessert.

After eating their desserts, Zhi Ruo led w.a.n.g Yong away and both sat on the sofa in the living room.

Zhi Ruo flipped through the TV channels and found a drama. She comfortably nestled on the sofa, still holding onto w.a.n.g Yong's big palm.

A long while afterwards, w.a.n.g Yong finally spoke and calmly questioned, " You are not going to ask me anything? "

The voice lost its childishness, replacing it with a deep voice.

" Why would I ask? " Zhi Ruo met his gaze.

" You don't want to know? " w.a.n.g Yong demanded.

" If you don't want to say I won't force you. " Zhi Ruo returned her gaze to the television.

" Can I still stay here? " w.a.n.g Yong hesitatingly asked.

" Of course. Our household will always welcome you. " Zhi Ruo lightly smiled.

" Can I still call you Ruoruo? "

" Sure. "

" Can I still eat with the family? "

" No problem. "

" Can I still go to work with you? "

" Hmm. "

" Can I still keep my music box? "

" Everything we have given you is yours forever, " Zhi Ruo explained.

" w.a.n.g Yong..." Zhi Ruo sighed.

" I know this is very confusing and hard for you but I already took responsibility for you. You have nothing to fear, I will protect you. " Zhi Ruo squeezed his hand.

" Things may be different now that you regained your memories and that you are catching up to your real age but I truly care about you. Even if you changed, the person I spent time with and created memories with is none other than you. "

" I know you may be feeling insecure but the Zhi family will be here for you and I will be here for you too. "

An overwhelming wave of warmth and relief washed over w.a.n.g Yong's heart.

"Do you understand?" Zhi Ruo looked at him in the eyes.

Looking at the delicate girl in front of him staring at him with her big round eyes made him unable to refute.

" Hmm. " w.a.n.g Yong nodded.

During the rest of the night, Zhi Ruo and w.a.n.g Yong casually held hands and watched TV till it was finally time to sleep.

Zhi Ruo's face slightly contorted when she thought about this new gigantic hurdle but tried her best to conceal her emotions.

" Let's go to sleep. " w.a.n.g Yong calmly said, pretending not to see the panic in Zhi Ruo's face.
