How could Su Han let Shen Xi go? She hastily said, “l think, Xi, it’s better for you to stay here. Your uncle and I can go help you get your toiletries. Ah Lei will recover faster if you stay with him.”

Shen Xi felt uneasy about this and wanted to object, but Su Han pulled Guan Yan and hurriedly left. Before leaving, Su Han added, “Take care of Ah Lei for us, Xi. We’ll come to take your shift tomorrow. If there’s anything, let Xue Li handle it. He’s standing guard outside, okay?”

Shen Xi stared blankly at Su Han, who smiled and closed the door to the ward.

Guan Lei chuckled, “It seems my mom really wants us to spend more time together.”

After Guan’s parents left the room, Shen Xi relaxed. She walked over to a nearby bed and said, “You should rest. Too much talking isn’t good for your recovery.”

Reluctantly, Guan Lei lay down on the bed and murmured, “Xi, when 1 used to have insomnia, you always held my hand to help me sleep in the infirmary back in high school. Do you remember?”

Shen Xi had no recollection of this event, so she bluntly replied, “l don’t remember.’

Guan Lei felt a pang of disappointment. His handsome face pouted with pale lips, prompting Shen Xi to coldly comment, “Stop pouting. It’s ugly.”

Sighing, Guan Lei said, “It’s okay, take your time. Anyway, I’ve decided to stick with you for life. You warned me about it before—if I ever leave you, I’m finished.’

Shen Xi couldn’t recall what she had said to Guan Lei before, but from his tone, she could tell that Shen Xi in Guan Lei’s memories must have had deep feelings for him.

Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn’t have spoken such possessive and domineering words to someone without strong emotional ties.

Without responding to Guan Lei, Shen Xi leaned on the other bed and scrolled through her phone.

She decided not to dwell on the memories Guan Lei mentioned because today’s experience taught her that forcefully thinking about the past might backfire.

She chose to go with the flow.

If most of Guan Lei’s memories were from high school, maybe revisiting the school for a while could be beneficial.

As Shen Xi contemplated, the door was forcefully pushed open. Following that, Xue Li’s voice rang out loud, “What are you guys doing?”

Seeing Xue Li about to act, Guan Lei gave him a look to hold back. He also wanted to know why these people had come to see him with such aggressive expressions on their faces.

Shen Xi immediately raised her gaze and saw Xue Li being restrained by a group of people outside, while those individuals headed straight towards Guan Lei.

Judging by their expressions, it was clear that the visitors came with hostility.

Shen Xi instinctively stood up, blocking in front of Guan Lei, and coldly asked the opposing group, “Principal? And the Department Head? Coming with such an imposing manner, it doesn’t seem like you’re here to visit a patient.”

Shen Xi glanced pointedly at the people behind Duan Jian and Xu Hua. In her eyes, these people were probably the key.

Duan Jian and Xu Hua, surprised to find the famous Rose Onion in Guan Lei’s ward, exchanged a glance. Xu Hua spoke, “Shen Xi, we need to talk to Guan Lei about something. Could you step aside?”

Shen Xi didn’t move a muscle. She said with a steely edge, “Sorry, I promised

Guan Lei’s family to guard him tonight. So, 1 can’t step aside. Department Head, how about you come another day? Or say it in front of me. If neither is acceptable, I’d kindly ask the principal and the department head to leave with your people to avoid disturbing the patient’s recovery. What do you think, Department Head?”

Although Shen Xi apologized and even politely asked for Xu Hua’s opinion, her tone carried an unmistakable air of dominance.

If Duan Jian and Xu Hua had entered with a slightly more amicable attitude, Shen Xi might have considered them as school authorities checking on an injured student.

But now, it was evident that something was amiss and possibly not in Guan Lei’s favor. Therefore, she couldn’t let a wounded person face such a group alone..
