"Here you go," Xu Zhaodi handed two buns to Shi Yunyang.
Shi Yunyang took the buns and took a bite, only to find that the buns Xu Zhaodi had bought from farther away were still as unappetizing. Too much fat and too greasy, she couldn't stomach them after one bite, even though she was still very hungry. She just didn't want to take another bite, even though Xu Zhaodi seemed to enjoy them.
"Don't like them?" Xu Zhaodi immediately noticed that the woman couldn't handle the buns.
Shi Yunyang nodded sheepishly and handed the buns back to Xu Zhaodi.
"Then wait a moment, I'll buy you some bread," Xu Zhaodi took the buns and went to buy bread. Shi Yunyang didn't want to wait that long again, but before she could tell Xu Zhaodi not to bother, Xu Zhaodi had already run off. This slender woman was surprisingly energetic and could run quite fast.
But this time, Xu Zhaodi returned much faster this time, in about five minutes. She handed Shi Yunyang a bread roll and a small piece of cake.
Then she took her to the bus heading to the city center. On the bus, Shi Yunyang took a bite of the bread roll. It was too hard and didn't taste good, but it was still better than the buns. She took a few more bites and then handed the bread roll back to Xu Zhaodi. Trying the small cake next, she found the cream wasn't smooth enough and it wasn't fresh enough, so she didn't like it either. She swapped the cake back for the bread roll.
Looking at Shi Yunyang, Xu Zhaodi realized that this woman was indeed born into wealth and was very picky, even though she had lost her memory. But Xu Zhaodi wasn't surprised; she had been selling pancakes for many years and had seen all kinds of people. At first glance, she felt that although Shi Yunyang was very beautiful, she gave off a somewhat harsh vibe.
In their short time together, Shi Yunyang had learned a little about Xu Zhaodi's temperament, so she dared to be a bit presumptuous.
Xu Zhaodi took Shi Yunyang to the best hospital in the city, where they went through another round of examinations. Xu Zhaodi's bank account was depleted by half again, and she felt heartbroken.
"Probably due to severe head trauma causing intracranial hematoma resulting in amnesia," the doctor at the city hospital told Xu Zhaodi.
"What do we do now?" Xu Zhaodi felt the situation was extremely serious. Not only had they caused the woman to be hit, but she had also lost her memory. Just thinking about it made Xu Zhaodi's scalp tingle. She probably couldn't even afford the surgery fees if it came to that, even if it meant selling everything she owned.
"If there are no other complications, it's recommended to rest for a while first. If the hematoma can absorb and dissipate on its own, that would be the best outcome. If not, then we'll consider surgery later," the doctor suggested.
"Will it absorb on its own?" Xu Zhaodi asked hopefully.
"It's possible, but it's not guaranteed. There's still a high chance that surgery will be needed later. For now, observation is key. If there are any discomforts, come to the hospital immediately..." Coming out of the city hospital, Xu Zhaodi and Shi Yunyang looked at each other, both at a loss.

Xu Zhaodi's first thought was to hand Shi Yunyang over to the police. After all, the most urgent thing should be to hand the amnesiac Shi Yunyang over to her family. At least it would be more appropriate for the police to find her family. But Xu Zhaodi hesitated; they said a guilty conscience needs no accuser, and she was no exception. She was afraid that the police would find out about her brother's drunk driving. As for the car accident, besides her and her brother, no one else knew about it. With the person involved now suffering from amnesia, no one else knew either. With a sense of misguided hope, Xu Zhaodi naturally didn't dare to go to the police station. Shi Yunyang was also very confused. After losing her memory, her mind was completely blank. She didn't know who she was, where she came from, or where she was going. This made her feel very insecure. She wasn't stupid; she knew she was trouble now, so she was afraid Xu Zhaodi would abandon her. Probably because the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Xu Zhaodi, she instinctively saw Xu Zhaodi as the person she most wanted to get close to and rely on now. After spending such a short time together, she intuitively felt that Xu Zhaodi was a good person and a good-tempered one at that.
"Will you abandon me?" Shi Yunyang asked anxiously, though she was indeed playing a bit of a pitiful act, feeling somewhat sorry for herself. If the pre-amnesia Shi Yunyang knew that one day she would need to play the pitiful card to gain sympathy and shelter, she would probably be infuriated. Of course, Xu Zhaodi had thought about leaving Shi Yunyang behind, as it seemed like a way to bury all the troubles and the mistakes made by her brother. After all, this person had lost all memory, and if she and her brother simply moved away, even if one day this woman regained her memory and wanted to find them, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. But today, since she had chosen to come back, Xu Zhaodi knew she couldn't do such a heartless thing. Especially at this moment, when this woman asked so helplessly if she would be abandoned, Xu Zhaodi looked at Shi Yunyang, feeling full of guilt. If it weren't for her brother's troublemaking, this seemingly beautiful and wealthy woman would have been living well. But now, she looked so pitiful and helpless.
"Do you want to come home with me?" Xu Zhaodi asked. She was responsible for this woman in front of her, so she had to ask.
"Mm," Shi Yunyang nodded quickly, following Xu Zhaodi. It was her most instinctive reaction. Xu Zhaodi could only agree to take Shi Yunyang home. Before that, she wanted to take Shi Yunyang out for lunch because, in the morning, Shi Yunyang had only eaten a few bites of bread. Obviously, the buns, bread, and cake were not to her taste.
"I'll take you to lunch," Xu Zhaodi said to Shi Yunyang.
Shi Yunyang eagerly agreed. After forcing herself to eat a few bites of bread in the morning, which didn't fill her stomach at all, she was actually hungrier than before. Xu Zhaodi had bought breakfast for her twice in the morning, but Shi Yunyang didn't want to be too picky and didn't ask Xu Zhaodi for more food.
So Xu Zhaodi took Shi Yunyang to a Shaanxi noodle shop and ordered a bowl of noodles, just one bowl.
When the noodles arrived, Shi Yunyang hesitated to eat, unsure if they were meant for her. "You eat," Xu Zhaodi said to Shi Yunyang, who dared not touch the chopsticks.
"What about you?" Shi Yunyang asked since Xu Zhaodi had only ordered one bowl of noodles. If she ate, what would Xu Zhaodi eat?
"There are still two buns left in the morning, and I'm not hungry, so I'll just eat those two buns," said Xu Zhaodi, thinking about the expenses from the two hospital check-ups and the medicine prescribed for Shi Yunyang, which nearly emptied her savings. She was trying to save as much as possible.
"You should order another bowl of noodles. Those buns were already hard to eat, and they've been sitting for so long; they'll only get harder and less appetizing," Shi Yunyang suggested, observing Xu Zhaodi's attire – a pair of faded jeans that had clearly been worn for a long time and a worn-out T-shirt, giving her a somewhat impoverished appearance. She hadn't realized Xu Zhaodi was so financially strained that she couldn't even afford to order an extra bowl of noodles. This realization stirred some slight emotion within her.
"No need, you eat," Xu Zhaodi insisted, taking out the leftover buns from the morning to nibble on. She didn't find the buns unpalatable, though they weren't as delicious as the pancakes she made herself. Despite Shi Yunyang's insistence, Xu Zhaodi remained resolute.
