What a beautiful woman. But that damn bullet hole has marred such perfect skin.
After wiping her with diluted alcohol every half an hour, by evening, the woman finally had her fever abated.
"Feed me."
Having not eaten all day, looking at the boxed meal Ye Xiaofan bought back, she felt ravenous but realized she was too weak to hold the chopsticks.
Ye Xiaofan didn't say much and patiently fed her one bite at a time.
This woman changed so quickly; sometimes she was cold enough to repel, while other times she was so fragile that she stirred great compassion.
"We can only stay here tonight. Do you have any plans?"
With a deposit of two hundred yuan, they had to check out by tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happened, the two should part ways. Ye Xiaofan seemed a bit reluctant, but strapped for cash, he had no choice.
"My body hasn't fully recovered. Can't I stay a few more days?" the woman gently looked at Ye Xiaofan.
"Um, it's not impossible, but..." Ye Xiaofan spoke hesitantly.
"What's wrong?"
"I... I don't have any money."
Being broke is not embarrassing for a high schooler. Ye Xiaofan, who was not affluent to start with, had spent almost half a month's allowance in the past two days. There's no way to continue staying here.
"Money? I seem to have some."
As she spoke, the woman reached under the pillow and pulled out a wallet.
This time, Ye Xiaofan was not surprised. This little Ni seemed adept at hiding things; the dagger before was evidence of that.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, the woman let out a small "hmm" while looking at the wallet.
"What's wrong? Did the money fall out?" Ye Xiaofan asked.
"No, I think I remember my name. Look..." As she spoke, the woman handed over a receipt used for card payments.
"Shen Zuimo? What a beautiful name. See if there's an ID or something?" Ye Xiaofan asked again.
Reluctantly, there was nothing else in the wallet except several credit cards. Although they knew her name now, they had no clue about her identity.
"Do you remember the passwords for these cards?" Ye Xiaofan asked again.
"I don't remember, but what's written here might be it." As she spoke, Shen Zuimo handed a card to Ye Xiaofan.
Indeed, after receiving the card, Ye Xiaofan saw six numbers written on the back: 121212. It should definitely be the password.
"Could you buy me some things? Clothes, pants, underwear, underpants. Shoes, socks. It's best to buy a hat and a backpack. Oh right, it would be better if you could also buy some sanitary pads for me."
Hearing Shen Zuimo list a bunch of items, Ye Xiaofan listened with a full head of black lines. It's quite inappropriate for him, a grown man, to buy these things, and although Shen Zuimo only lost her memory, she hadn't lost her life knowledge since she could even remember sanitary pads.
"It's getting dark soon, buying clothes tomorrow won't be late, you get some rest after eating, and I'll go see if I can withdraw some money from the card first, at least pay the room fee first."
"Mm, as you wish."
The phrase "as you wish" made Ye Xiaofan hesitate. If she were just an ordinary woman, it'd be nice. If only she didn't occasionally emit that cold gaze. The gentle Shen Zuimo looked demure and captivating, and she would surely be a good wife in the future. If his future wife were like her, or if it were her, how wonderful it would be.
"Ye Xiaofan, I don't need you to feed me anymore, go on." Seeing Xiaofan daze out, Shen Zuimo sat up herself and started eating with chopsticks.
Damn, the weakness just now was entirely an act. She could clearly eat on her own but insisted on being fed. However, looking at it differently, her recovery was quite swift. The originally pale face had regained a hint of color without knowing when.
Holding the bank card, he went to the bank, inserted the magnetic card, and entered the password. Checking the balance, a stream of numbers made Ye Xiaofan's jaw drop.
Units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten-thousands, hundred-thousands, millions... Oh my god. Over seven million, I've never seen so much money in my life.
After quickly withdrawing ten thousand yuan, Ye Xiaofan rode his bicycle back to the hotel. After paying the two hundred yuan deposit, he returned to the room.
"How do you have so much money? Over seven million, what do you do? Or what does your family do?" As soon as Ye Xiaofan returned, he asked.
"Is it a lot? I told you, I don't remember." Shen Zuimo blinked her enchanting large eyes, her response was a bit baffling, yet exceptionally endearing.
"I withdrew ten thousand yuan, I'll buy clothes for you tomorrow," Ye Xiaofan answered truthfully.
"Why didn't you just take the money and leave? After all, I don't even know you." Shen Zuimo suddenly raised a casual question.
And that question puzzled Ye Xiaofan. Indeed, why didn't he just take the money and leave, over seven million—it's an amount he might never earn in his lifetime.
However, from the moment he knew there was money on the card up to just now, Ye Xiaofan never thought of taking the card away privately. Looking back, if he had taken that seven million, buying cars, houses, and marrying a wealthy and beautiful woman while reaching life's pinnacle would not have been just a dream.
"You saved my life, even if you took all the money, I wouldn't blame you," Shen Zuimo added.
"Saving you wasn't about money," Ye Xiaofan suddenly grinned.
Setting aside trivial thoughts, between the seven million and Shen Zuimo's safety, Ye Xiaofan could basically confirm he would choose the latter.
"Then what was it for?" Shen Zuimo's eyes brightened slightly, looking at Ye Xiaofan with an unprecedented gentle gaze.
"Because, because, you're beautiful," Ye Xiaofan answered blankly, staring at those big eyes.
"You're such a good person, sleep. Don't you have to go to school tomorrow? You've worked hard these past few days." As she spoke, Shen Zuimo shifted aside, leaving half the bed for Ye Xiaofan.
Ye Xiaofan felt this woman's change; she seemed to have completely let go of her hostility towards him, and the cold gaze didn't appear as often.
And Shen Zuimo also felt her change. Though she couldn't pinpoint what it was due to her amnesia, the young man before her gave an unexpected sense of security, initially planning to use him to guard her. But now, she found herself somewhat dependent on his care.
Night fell deeper. At this time, in a city more than three hundred kilometers away.
"Report, the nightingale's whereabouts have been found."
"Nightingale? She indeed isn't dead. Those fools were indeed killed by nightingale, where is she?"
"Five hours ago, traces of nightingale's bank card usage were discovered in H City, GPS tracking is now in progress, we'll know her exact location in an hour."
"Good, immediately order Blood Wolf's team to rush to H City, find nightingale and eliminate her at once, must not let her expose the organization's secret, anyone who has had contact with nightingale must die."
"Yes."
