Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“F**k you!” Su Xiaomo gave him the finger.

“Excuse me?” He Jiayu raised an eyebrow. “I’ll leave without you, then.”

Su Xiaomo was vexed. “Hey, wait for me! I’m your ex-girlfriend at least! Be kind!”

He Jiayu snorted, got out, and carried her back into the car before driving her home.

“Why do you hate your parents so much?” He Jiayu asked.

Su Xiaomo rubbed at the sore muscles on her waist. “None of your business.”

“You’re right. An ex-boyfriend must be no more than a rag to you.” He Jiayu chuckled self-mockingly. Somehow, that made Su Xiaomo panic a little.

She had taken He Jiayu’s gentleness and indulgence for granted this whole time. Little did she realize that he was a human being as well and what she did could hurt him...

“I’m sorry...” Su Xiaomo’s eyelashes quivered.

He Jiayu softened in the end. Pulling her into his arms, he comforted her in his gentle voice. “Get some sleep. Good night.”

He sat in his car and only left after Su Xiaomo’s lights went off.

He had known early on that Su Xiaomo wasn’t as carefree and chirpy as she appeared. She had her own secrets, hidden in a corner no one could touch.

Su Xiaomo had been taking pills for years, which she claimed were calcium tablets. But He Jiayu was a medical student himself and had checked those tablets.

If he wasn’t mistaken, they were prescribed for depression.

The Sheng family.

Sheng Yize went to bed after taking a shower, but An Xiaxia couldn’t sleep. She worked on her novel for a while in the study, but got stuck on a plot point. She sat there for a long while, but didn’t know how to proceed.

Walking around the study in boredom, she tried to find some inspiration.

She then spotted a glass jar on the bookshelf, which was filled with colorful stars made from paper. They were quite pretty.

It somehow made An Xiaxia jealous.

They were definitely the work of some girl. Why was it here?

She was confident that she had never made those stars herself. So... Sheng Yize had received them from some other girl.

Hmph... that bastard...

An Xiaxia glared at the jar, but then noticed that the fold for one of the stars had come loose, revealing some words inside which were written in black ink and vigorous strokes.

What did it say?

Curiosity killed the cat. An Xiaxia reached out her little paw, opened the cap, and took out that star.

She unfolded it and saw that it had been written by Sheng Yize.

[Loving you is the fate I can’t resist. 596.]

That was so icky! Could it have been... for her?

Once she realized that, An Xiaxia’s fingers moved faster. She unwrapped each star in turn and found a line of loving words in every single one of them.

“Accompanying you is the most enduring confession of love. I’ll be by your side from when you wear a school uniform to when you change into your wedding gown. I’ll be there when the day breaks and I’ll be there when your hair goes white. 668.”

“The thought of sharing the rest of my life with you fills me with hope. 36.”

“I don’t trust this world, but I’m willing to trust you. 187.”

“The moment you showed up, I felt the world unfold in front of my eyes. 906.”

“...”

They were cliche words, but they brought tears to her eyes.

She had complained about Sheng Yize’s demonstrative lack of affection. He was stingy with words and he seldom told her he loved her. He would never shower her with praise like other guys.

As it turned out... Sheng Yize had written down so many loving words without telling her?

She opened another one, which had one short line only.

“I love you and everyone knows it. 999.”
