Extra: Modern Times 2

A short while later, Xu Xi's IV drip finished, and her aunt, who had gone to inquire about the situation, returned with new information.

She said with a beaming smile, "The doctor examined him and Xiao Ke is fully awake with no lasting effects. He's young, and after a week in the hospital, his fracture healed quite quickly, and his other wounds are fine too."

She also had her concerns.

Xiao Ke saved Xu Xi, and Xu Xi wasn't bedridden and unable to move, so naturally she went to visit Xiao Ke after she woke up.

However, if Xiao Ke has just woken up, is not in good condition, has become mentally impaired, or has encountered some other problem, it would be inappropriate for Xu Xi to visit him at this time. What would Xiao Family's parents think when facing Xu Xi?

Now, everything is alright. The two people who had been in a coma for a week have both regained consciousness, and their mental state has not been affected. They are also recovering in other aspects. This news made Yun Xin Gao Xing.

"Are his parents here too?" Xu Xi asked.

Yun Xin nodded. "Yes."

"I'm going to the restroom first," Xu Xi said.

Xiao Ke's parents might become her in-laws in the future. Since it was their first meeting, she wanted to tidy herself up.

Both she and Xiao Ke were financially well-off, and the drunk driver who caused the accident didn't dare to flee. After discussing it with Xiao Ke's parents, Yun Xin added her own money and moved them both to a VIP ward.

So the conditions in the ward were quite good.

Looking at her younger self in the bathroom mirror, Xu Xi felt a sense of déjà vu.

Whether in modern or ancient times, she was beautiful. It's just that in ancient times she became an old woman with white hair. Now that she has traveled back in time and sees her modern appearance, she is really not able to come to her senses.

However, she didn't linger for long. She knew that if Xiao Ke also returned, carrying his memories from ancient times, he would definitely be anxious to find her.

She tidied her hair, straightened her hospital gown, and went out the door, following Yun Xin to the next ward.

"These are Xiao Ke's parents." As soon as she entered, Yun Xin introduced the middle-aged couple standing there.

"Uncle, Aunt, hello." Xu Xi greeted them with a smile.

"Good, good." Father Xiao nodded with a smile, "Xiaoxi, you're awake too, that's wonderful."

This week, Yun Xin brought quite a few things to visit Xiao Ke. They had become quite familiar with Yun Xin and Xu Xi.

Xiao's mother looked at Xu Xi with a complicated gaze, her face expressionless.

She knew everything that had happened.

The son went on a blind date, but the girl didn't like him and turned away. Her son chased after her and got into a car accident while trying to save her.

It's right to save lives, and the girl can't be blamed for the car accident.

But the thought that others looked down on her son, yet her son suffered a terrible accident because of her and almost never woke up, made her resentful.

However, Xu Xi was not paying attention to Xiao's mother at the moment; all her attention was on Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke's appearance in modern times is not as outstanding as it was in ancient times. In ancient times, he was practically a monster. If that appearance were in modern times, he could debut immediately and become a sensation just based on his face.

Now it's just right; he's somewhat handsome, but not too striking. After all, he relies on his talent, not his looks. Being too handsome would be a burden, as he doesn't have such a prestigious status to protect himself in modern times.

Besides a broken arm, Xiao Ke also suffered internal injuries. He was lying in bed, his face full of excitement, his eyes fixed on Xu Xi.

Seeing Xu Xi looking at him, he murmured, "Xiaoxi."

Xu Xi walked over and bowed to Xiao Ke: "Xiao Ke, thank you for saving me."

Xiao Ke's parents and Yun Xin all thought they didn't know each other. Although this could be clarified, their past life in ancient times was something others didn't know.

Even if things are clarified, she and Xiao Ke are just alumni and acquaintances. Xiao Ke saved her, and it's only right and proper that she should bow to thank Xiao Ke, instead of being so familiar that she doesn't even need to say thank you.

Xiao Ke was clearly taken aback, and the way he looked at Xu Xi changed instantly.

He struggled to sit up, but his mother quickly stepped forward and pressed him down, saying, "Don't move."

Xiao Ke ignored his mother, his gaze fixed on Xu Xi, and suddenly called out, "Zhao Ruxi."

Seeing his expression, Xu Xi's heart stirred, and a look of doubt appeared on her face.

She asked hesitantly, "Who are you calling?"

That expression, that tone, made Xiao Ke's heart sink.

"Do you know Xiao Shaoduo?" he asked.

Xu Xi shook her head and asked, "Who is it? One of our alumni?"

Xiao Ke's heart sank to the bottom, and he suddenly began to doubt the meaning of life.

Was his past life in ancient times just a pipe dream? Otherwise, why would Xu Xi look so blank, not even remembering their son?

Hearing their conversation, Yun Xin, who was standing nearby, was both surprised and delighted. "You two know each other, and you're even alumni?"

It's easier if it's someone you know.

Xiao Ke came to Xu Xi for a blind date, but he got injured because of her. The driver who caused the accident and the insurance company paid for his medical expenses, but things became complicated for Xu Xi.

If Xu Xi doesn't like Xiao Ke, she naturally can't risk her entire life's happiness just to repay a debt of gratitude; but if she gives him money, the Xiao Family doesn't seem to be short of money, and what they probably want isn't money.

It's easier if they're acquaintances. Xiao Ke himself would probably be too embarrassed to make a fuss, Xu Xi can just buy some expensive gifts and send them over, and that'll be the end of it.

As for the development of their relationship, Yun Xin naturally hoped that the two would continue their relationship and eventually get married. However, she hoped that Xu Xi would marry Xiao Ke out of love, not out of gratitude.

Seeing the disappointment and confusion in Xiao Ke's eyes, Xu Xi looked away and stopped looking at him.

Pretending to know nothing about ancient times was a decision she made in a split second.

She hadn't found a suitable man in her twenty-odd years in modern times, and had never even been in a relationship. After leaving Xiao Ke, she thought she would never find a man more suitable.

Once she's made up her mind about someone, she won't change her mind as long as that person doesn't betray her.

So what? If Xiao Ke has other ideas, she won't want him anymore. Even if he forces himself to stay with her because of their decades of companionship in ancient times, she won't accept it.

She has her pride.

Therefore, she is now willing to give him a chance to choose again.

If Xiao Ke hasn't grown tired of her and is still willing to rekindle their relationship and spend his life with her in modern times, then he can pursue her again.

After confirming his feelings, she was willing to marry him again, and the two of them could naturally spend another lifetime together.

But if Xiao Ke has the idea of starting a new life, it would be best for her to pretend that she doesn't remember anything about ancient times.

As soon as he woke up, he looked for her, wanting to prove to her that everything in ancient times was simply the lifestyle he had lived in ancient times with for his entire life. He was used to having her by his side and used to talking to her about everything.

But when he realizes he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life with her, he'll either force himself to stay with her or break up with her. At that point, the hurt they'll both suffer will be even greater.

Let's calm down, start over, and give each other another chance.
