Side Story: If Xu Xi Lost His Memory

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"Hiss, I can't remember."

At the first light of dawn, the young man opened his eyes and woke up blankly on the hospital bed.

What he saw before him was an unfamiliar, pure white ceiling.

Stinging pain.

Exhaustion.

Many images flashed in his mind, blurry and fragmented; he could only barely piece together the scene of himself colliding with a heavy truck.

"…So, did I get into a car accident?"

"…No wonder I feel a bit dizzy."

The man let out a long sigh.

This was probably what they called 'misfortune and fortune go hand in hand'.

Being hit by such a heavy truck and not dying on the spot—in a sense, that was a kind of luck.

"So my name is Xu Xi?" After fumbling around by the hospital bed, the man found his ID card.

Looking at the information on it.

Xu Xi began to try to recall his past.

But unfortunately, his mind was empty, containing only the image of the moment he was hit.

That dayun truck became increasingly clear, as if it could charge out of his memory and hit Xu Xi back and forth again.

Just as Xu Xi was distressed, someone walked into the ward.

Or more accurately.

It was his five family members.

Xu Xi looked at them, finding them very familiar, but he couldn't recall their specific identities.

"Sorry, I currently…" Xu Xi said with an apologetic look to the five surprised girls, "I don't remember your identities at all."

"Are you really unable to remember anything at all?" someone asked.

"Yeah, I really can't remember."

The atmosphere on the scene was somewhat subtle.

Sunlight from outside the window shone into the room, landing on the faces of the girls—bewilderment, surprise, and a little bit of…

Excitement?

Xu Xi felt that he must have seen it wrong.

"Please rest assured and recover during this time; regarding your memory, we will help you recall it bit by bit," the girls decided to take turns taking care of Xu Xi.

And in the process, they would explain his past experiences to help Xu Xi recover his lost memories.

————

The first day, the person responsible for taking care of Xu Xi was the girl who shared the same surname as him.

Xu Moli.

She claimed to be Xu Xi's younger sister.

"The kind without any blood relation," she emphasized.

The sun was bright, the spring breeze blew the curtains, and Xu Xi lay on the hospital bed, listening to the girl recount the whole process of how they met and fell in love.

"Wait, if we are siblings, then why are we married?"

Xu Xi was a bit puzzled.

"That is the power of love."

The girl said with a straight face.

"Then what about the others? What is their relationship to me?"

"Probably, they are dowry maids?"

————

The second day, the silver-haired witch took over from the younger sister.

Before Xu Xi could speak, the witch took the initiative to introduce herself: "Klisa Christina, your student, your wife."

Teacher-student romance?

Xu Xi was greatly shocked.

Before losing his memory, was he a bit too Heaven-Defying?

————

The third day, Wu Yingxue sat by the bedside, gently cutting fruit for Xu Xi.

"Husband doesn't remember me?"

"That won't do."

"As for me, I am your officially wedded wife. As for those four concubines, you can forget about them completely."

"Open your mouth, ah~~"

While Xu Xi was listening in confusion, a piece of sliced pear was brought to his lips.

He subconsciously chewed it, and juice splattered, bringing a slight sweetness.

————

The fourth day, Xu Xi felt more and more that something was wrong.

Because the fourth girl started with "Master."

"Master, is there anything you need me to do?" Ele, with precise and elegant movements, leaned over to wipe the corner of Xu Xi's mouth.

"Although I don't know what the previous three said to you, Ele only has one thing to say."

"I am the person who has accompanied you the longest."

"Without exception."

"Therefore, I am your true wife."

————

The fifth day, Sevia walked into the ward with a distressed look on her face.

Xu Xi asked her if she had nothing to say.

"They, they have used up all the words that could be said!" The Young Miss, who had learned aristocratic etiquette and knightly Dao of the sword since childhood, was on the verge of tears at this moment.

Her aggrieved expression was too pitiful.

She was held in Xu Xi's arms and coaxed for a long time.

————

"One by one, they all say they are my wives. Is this reasonable?"

"This is very unreasonable!"

The hospital in the evening was quiet and dark.

Xu Xi calmly pondered his interactions with the girls over the past few days. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, his eyes growing deeper in the dark night.

Although he had lost his memory.

He still had his basic rationality.

"I'm just an ordinary person, how could I possibly have five wives? This isn't writing a novel."

Xu Xi felt that he had guessed the truth.

It was highly likely that he was being pranked by them conspiring together, and that everyone had lied to him.

There might even be hidden cameras aimed at this ward, recording it as a variety show for people to watch.

"Heh."

"As long as I want to leave, the road is right under my feet!"

Xu Xi began to pack his things, deciding to leave the hospital under the cover of night. He had a premonition that if he continued to stay here, the situation would become exceptionally abstract.

Leaving the room.

Going down the stairs.

Sprinting.

Then being covered by a sack and kidnapped.

"Mmph!!!"

"Mmph mmph!!!"

In the hazy night, the human-shaped sack struggled for a while, but was soon carried away, disappearing into the silent dead of night.

"Put down older brother!"

"No, Ele refuses."

A new war had begun.

The starry sky tonight was exceptionally brilliant, like countless fresh flowers blooming in full splendor.
