By the time Xu Mey woke up in the morning, Ye Jie had left the room to buy some breakfast for her. She looked around and found a sticky note on the side table. It read: ’Baby, I’m going out to buy some breakfast for you. You haven’t eaten anything since last night. I’ll be back soon.’ Xu Mey smiled reading the note and she didn’t realize that her father had woken up and he was staring at her smile intently. Xu Cheng felt inexplicable happiness in his heart seeing that she was alright now.…

*Flashback Continued* It took a whole week before Xu Mey woke up. Looking at the bamboo hut through her groggy eyes, she was really confused. That’s when her eyes fell on a tall boy’s figure sitting on the floor while leaning against the wall. She tried to get up but winced in pain. The boy lifted his eyes off the book in his hands and smiled at her. "Are you feeling better?" He asked while passing a glass of water from under the curtain. "I’m..." She felt her throat stinging. She took a sip…

It took a long time for Ye Jie to compose himself. He didn’t realize that it was already midnight by the time he came down from the rooftop. Before going to Xu Cheng’s room to accompany Xu Mey, he went to the washroom to dash water on his face. And when he entered Xu Cheng’s hospital room, he spotted Xu Mey fast asleep beside her father’s bed. Her head was laying on the hand which was gripping her father’s hand. A few strands of hair fell over her tired face. Ye Jie paced up to her side and…

Ye Jie bit his own tongue at the realization of what he just said. He opened his mouth to say something but Ru raised her hand to stop him. "In the past 26 years of my life, I’ve been called monster plenty of times. And I didn’t mind it. Even your wife called me a monster when we met. But you!" Ru gave a despondent look to Ye Jie and added, "You’re the only person in my life who never called me a monster... Until today." "Ru, that’s not what I meant. Hear me out!" Ye Jie took a step towards…

After driving Xu Mey and Xu Cheng to the hospital, Ru didn’t leave. She helped Xu Mey with the hospital procedure and came to stand beside the operation theatre. While Xu Mey was anxiously pacing in the corridor outside the operation theatre, Ru’s green eyes kept following her movements. When Xu Mey suddenly thought about Ye Jie, she rummaged out her phone and texted him. She didn’t give him the details, just told him that her father was injured and asked him to come to the hospital. The…

Xu Mey heard the sound of the bullet being shot but the pain never came. What came was a cry that was heard somewhere close to her. Xu Mey slowly opened her eyes and the scene before her, made her freeze for a moment. All she saw was blood around her and then her eyes fell on the figure laying in her feet, groaning with pain. Her eyes widened up and she knelt down crying out, "Dad!" The moment she had closed her eyes earlier, two figures entered the room exactly at the same time. One came like a…

"Of course, I know her," He Susu replied. "How?" Xu Mey slid closer to her curiously. "Well... We used to be best friends back in school days." He Susu smiled at Xu Mey who was gaping. "Best friends? Are you sure?" Obviously, Xu Mey wasn’t convinced. He Susu passed an odd look to Xu Mey saying, "How can I be wrong about that? We were really best friends." "So, what happened then?" Xu Mey probed a bit. "What do you mean?" He Susu frowned. "I mean, Aunt Su you just said that you guys…

After eating the breakfast with Azalea and Ye Jie, Xu Mey left the cleaning to the maid. Ye Jie went to his study for work while Xu Mey got busy with miscellaneous tasks. When the doorbell rang, Azalea was the one who opened the door and collected the delivery. "Sis, there is a parcel!" She shouted while looking at the big parcel in hand. Xu Mey came to see the big parcel in Azalea’s hand and frowned. Xu Mey stretched out her hand and Azalea immediately passed the parcel to her. Xu Mey turned it…

Ye Jun dropped Azalea at Ye Jie’s place in the evening and went back home himself. "Hi, bro!" Azalea addressed Ye Jie with a wide grin on her face. "Hello, Zelie! How was your day?" Ye Jie inquired taking a seat at the couch with Azalea. "I had plenty of fun." Azalea beamed. "That’s good," Ye Jie said and ruffled her hair a bit, affectionately. Ye Jie noticed that all of sudden, Azalea’s smile turned sad. "Is everything okay?" He questioned with a bit of worry. "Bro, do you think…

People oftentimes say that they can’t live without the person they love. We frequently hear them even say they’d die without them. But... No-one dies... The insignificant absence of a person can’t kill you... The mere so-called farewell can’t kill you... But... Love is a foreign feeling... A person’s embarkation might not kill us but a few words have the endowment to kill us. If not completely then figuratively. In Wu Wang’s case, Zhou Qi’s departure from his life…
