Because she couldn’t see that future, she could only carefully hide the word “love” in her heart.
Quietly placing the wish she had just silently approved into her memory album, where countless touching moments were stored.
Waiting for the past years to flow by, at the right moment, she would slowly unveil that moment of emotion.
Hoping the Cinderella spell would break, and the prince would discover her.
Hoping that prince would be the man before her.
She drank from her bottled beer, thinking this, then saw him step outside with his phone, and feeling depressed, she took her beer and walked alone to the open grassland to catch some air.
Lin’s mother, who had been watching her precious daughter’s every move, stopped Jun Hao from approaching. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.
“Why are you drinking alone?”
He had just left briefly to take a call, and when he returned, she was nowhere to be seen. Lin’s mother wordlessly handed him a canned beer and told him to go find her on the lawn.
And so, Ye Lixie carried the beer, swaying as he searched for a long time before finally seeing her sitting under a star-filled night sky.
“It’s just a small matter, don’t worry about it.” He said softly.
Looking at the beer in his hand, he pulled the tab and started drinking.
“Is that so? I’m glad you didn’t ask for any extra compensation, as I can’t afford it.” She joked with a laugh, trying to hide her inner unease.
He paused his drinking, because of what she just said, then spoke with a slightly bitter tone: “You know? I actually envy you now.”
She threw a questioning glance at him sitting next to her.
His gaze was fixed on the swaying silvergrass in the distance, with faint moonlight shining on the full, pale flower clusters, presenting a scene both desolate and expansive.
“My biological mother left me when I was very young… because of my father’s affair.”
His eyes seemed to be flipping through memories.
