"Nana, you're back! Mom missed you so much. Sister, I missed you even more than Mom did! Nana, please sit down; you must be tired after just coming back!" Laughter echoed from Chen Yina's home.
At the door, Chen Haoxuan, carrying a suitcase, looked at Chen Yina's house and muttered to himself, "So this isn't my home! How could Nana leave me out here all alone? Did she forget I'm the one with amnesia?"
Inside the house, Chen Yina suddenly remembered something important. She exclaimed and ran outside, waving to Chen Haoxuan at the door. "Brother Xuan, this is my home. Come in and sit for a while."
He had no choice but to go in since he had no idea where his own home was. As Chen Haoxuan entered Chen Yina's house, he noticed it was quite dark inside and severely lacking in light. Chen Yina moved a stool in front of him and gently said, "Brother Xuan, please sit. Let me introduce you: this is my mom, this is my dad, and this is my younger brother, Chen Feng."
"Hello, Auntie, Uncle, Xiao Feng," Chen Haoxuan greeted them with a slight bow.
Chen Yina's family was taken aback. What was going on? They had watched Chen Haoxuan grow up, yet their daughter was introducing them to him?
Seeing the complex expressions on her family's faces, Chen Yina understood what they were thinking and explained, "Actually, Brother Xuan had an accident a while ago and lost some of his memory. That's why he doesn't recognize you now; he doesn't even remember his own home. Fortunately, it's not too serious; he still retains his knowledge."
Li Ping (Chen Yina's mother) walked over to Chen Haoxuan, took his hand, and gently stroked the back of it. "Xuan, if you need any help in the future, just let me know, okay?" Li Ping thought that life would be very difficult for Chen Haoxuan after losing his memory. She was mistaken; his life was quite luxurious now—he wore suits and ties every day, smoked cigars, drank red wine, and enjoyed gourmet meals.
"Yes, I will. Thank you for your concern, Auntie," Chen Haoxuan replied gratefully, feeling Li Ping's care for him.
"Mom, did you know? Brother Xuan is doing really well now! He’s running a business at our school and can earn tens of thousands a month!" Chen Yina spoke proudly about Chen Haoxuan's business endeavors.
"Not really! I'm just doing some small business," Chen Haoxuan humbly replied.
"Who would have thought? Xuan turned misfortune into fortune; despite his amnesia, he became smarter. Balancing studying and running a business while earning so much—looks like our Nana's future happiness depends on you," Li Ping said happily. She knew about the bond between Chen Haoxuan and her daughter; they were like siblings. She considered Chen Haoxuan almost like a son. When she mentioned that Nana's happiness depended on him, she meant for him to take good care of Chen Yina in life rather than suggesting marriage.
"Aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of Nana," Chen Haoxuan said seriously. He meant every word; Chen Yina meant a lot to him. She was the first person he met in this century, the one who cared for him the most, and she was perhaps the closest person to him since his family had abandoned him—only Chen Yina had not.
Chen Yina took a thick envelope out of her bag, which seemed to contain quite a bit. With a smile, she handed the envelope to her mother and said, "Mom, here, take a look at what this is."
Li Ping took the envelope from Chen Yina and opened it. She was stunned; she had never seen so much money before. The envelope was filled with RMB notes, and it looked like there were at least twenty or thirty thousand. "Nana, how did you get so much money? You didn't do anything bad, did you?" Li Ping asked her daughter nervously. Just a few months ago, her daughter was worried about their family's poverty, and now she suddenly had tens of thousands of RMB. Did she become a prostitute? No way! Her daughter was not attractive enough for anyone to want her.
"Mom, where are you thinking? This money is what Brother Xuan and I earned together from business—it's a total of twenty thousand," Chen Yina explained.
"Aunt, it's true. I've made quite a bit working with Nana during this time," Chen Haoxuan chimed in.
"Then what about you? You've given me all the money; what will you do?" Li Ping thought that Chen Yina had given her all the money.
"Mom, don't worry! I still have my tuition and living expenses saved up. You can use this freely! Please buy Dad some nutritional supplements and get my little brother a few sets of clothes. If you run out of money, just let me know. By the way, Mom and Dad, I bought a phone; my number is 158********," Chen Yina smiled as she told her mother and then took out her phone to write down her number for her.
While Chen Yina was reminiscing about family ties, Chen Haoxuan sat quietly on the side, observing Chen Yina's home. He wanted to study this room; it was built with yellow mud and had stood for decades without collapsing.
Half an hour later, Chen Yina took Chen Haoxuan to a room next door. Pointing at the house, she said to him, "Brother Xuan, this is your home now. Here’s your house key; you used to keep it at my mom's place for safekeeping."
Chen Yina walked to the front door and pulled out a key to unlock a lock as big as a baby's fist. "Brother Xuan, come in!" Seeing that Chen Haoxuan was still standing at the door in a daze, she urged him.
Stepping over the threshold, he found there was even a small courtyard inside. After passing through the courtyard, Chen Haoxuan entered the living room and said with a mix of laughter and tears, "It seems my house is only slightly better than yours."
"What's wrong? Are you complaining about your own home? It may look a bit shabby now, but if you tidy it up a bit, it can be quite nice," Chen Yina joked.
"Let's just tear it down and rebuild," Chen Haoxuan said. Although he said this, he still had to tidy up; if he didn't, where would he stay today?
Chen Yina, like a diligent wife, busily helped Chen Haoxuan clean the house. Her brother also came over to help and casually invited Chen Haoxuan to have lunch at his place.
Chen Haoxuan's home was quite large, and the three of them worked until noon without finishing. After having lunch at Chen Yina's house, Chen Haoxuan continued to tidy up his shabby home.
