...Ling Yiran sat in the car, watching the scenery receding on both sides. She began to hum softly. A beautiful and soothing song filled the air in the car.Yi Jinli raised his eyebrows slightly and waited until Ling Yiran had finished singing before asking, "What’s this song?""Strolling Down the Path of Life. It’s an old song. My grandmother loved listening to it. She was the one who taught me to sing it. I used to sing it for fun when I was a kid. I didn't understand much of the lyrics back then, but the older I grew, the more I understand them," answered Ling Yiran."It's indeed a good song," he said."Yes, too bad Grandma can't teach me any more songs," she murmured, looking exhausted.She had only slept for three to four hours a day. She spent most of her time beside her grandmother's refrigerated coffin or was busy with funeral affairs, so she did not have time to sleep properly."Get some shut-eye if you're tired. It's a two-hour drive back," said Yi Jinli.Ling Yiran
"What if the bad guys catch you too?" It was a little boy's voice, but she could not see his face."No, they won't!" the little girl retorted at once.The little boy just looked at her thoughtfully without speaking a word.After a while, the little girl muttered, "If I get caught too, at… At least we can keep each other company. I'm not afraid!"The little girl held the little boy by the hand tightly. The pair of silver bracelets on her slim, fair wrist were particularly conspicuous.The little girl and the little boy ran on the rugged hill road. The little boy was usually well-pampered. Even if he had great motor skills, he had never experienced a situation like this.The little girl led the way while tightly holding hands.Suddenly, the boy slipped and began to fall down the hill. Due to inertia, the girl followed suit until her body was stuck in a small branch that grew out of the side of the hill. That stopped them from falling.The little girl's left hand was still holding
As soon as Ling Yiran touched her forehead, she felt a layer of cold sweat. 'What's wrong with me? Did I have a nightmare? The hill in the dream was the hill near the town.'Also... Sceneries from the dream…' She could not help biting her lip.The sun shone brightly outside the window. It was sunny.Ling Yiran looked at the time. It was almost 11 a.m., and she had slept for a long time. There was a note from Yi Jinli on the nightstand.His handwriting was lanky and strong.Ling Yiran read the note and knew that he had gone to the office early this morning to deal with the company's business affairs that had accumulated over the days, but he would be back to have dinner with her.Looking at the words on the note, Ling Yiran felt a warmth in her heart. The feeling of anxiety over her dream earlier seemed to fade a little.She took a change of clothes into the bathroom and took a shower.As the warm water washed over her, she looked down at her left hand in a trance.It was as if
"It's nothing. If it's what you want, of course, I'll do it for you," Gu Lichen said lightly."That's very kind of you, Chenchen," said Hua Lifang.The word ‘Chenchen’ made Gu Lichen feel a pang in his heart. When she uttered the word, he somehow found it irritating to his ear."Call me Lichen from now on. Chenchen is just a childhood nickname," said Gu Lichen."Sure," Hua Lifang replied obediently.Speaking of which, it was Ling Yiran who told her about the name Chenchen. When Ling Yiran was a child, she came home with her dress in tatters and said that she had saved someone. No one in the family believed her and they all thought she was lying to cover the fact that she was being naughty. As such, they beat her for it.However, Hua Lifang was curious as a child and went to ask Ling Yiran about it. Hence, she knew how Ling Yiran had saved the little boy called Chenchen.Otherwise, when Gu Lichen found her, she would not have succeeded in pretending to be Ling Yiran. Of course,
"A year?" Qin Lianyi gave a low cry. "Then your wedding with Yi Jinli will also be postponed a year?"Ling Yiran nodded. "I haven't talked to Jin about this yet. I'll talk to him tonight and see what he thinks." However, she had a hunch that he would agree.It seemed as if he had agreed to every request she made ever since they started dating.Qin Lianyi looked at her friend's haggard face and suggested. "Why don't we go to the shopping mall? Bai Tingxin asked me to accompany him to a meeting. He said he’s ordered a set of clothes for me to pick up at the shop in the shopping mall near here."Qin Lianyi did not want to be noticed at all at such conferences, banquets, and so on. However, Bai Tingxin kept dragging her to them as if he was addicted.The most infuriating of all was when she argued that she was busy at work and needed to work overtime or something, the fellow would only smile and say it did not matter. Then, she would get a call from her superior who said she need not
"I'm just here with a friend. If you want to pick out some clothes, you might as well ask the salesgirl for help," Ling Yiran said lightly.Hua Lifang embarrassedly looked for a salesgirl to help her choose some clothes.Gu Lichen walked to Ling Yiran's side and said, "Don't be too sad about your grandmother. Everyone is born, gets sick, and dies. Someone in this world will always leave first."Ling Yiran looked up at him. 'Is he... Comforting me?' His lanky body was now clad in a dark graphite gray suit. His handsome face had a placid, indifferent expression.The entertainment industry's crown prince was known for his indifference and his behavior of changing one girlfriend after another.No one knew who the next girlfriend would be.'Could it be Sis Lifang?' Ling Yiran suddenly came up with the idea. After all, Gu Lichen's previous girlfriends were, by definition, substitutes for Sis Lifang.The real one was now found, and Sis Lifang seemed to have divorced."What are you thi
"What were you talking about? Why did you suddenly..." Hua Lifang asked in confusion, but what Gu Lichen said next struck fear into her heart."How do you know the name ‘Chenchen’, Ling Yiran?" asked Gu Lichen.Hua Lifang's hair stood on end immediately as she looked at Ling Yiran in disbelief. 'Did she… Just call Lichen ‘Chenchen’?'Did Ling Yiran regain her memory?'If she did regain her memory, Hua Lifang would immediately lose everything she had. That thought made Hua Lifang feel as if she was going to lose her footing."You were really called ‘Chenchen’ when you were little?" asked Ling Yiran as she frowned. 'So Gu Lichen is the boy in my dream?'Was what happened in the dream real?"How in the world do you know that?" He was still clinging to the previous question."It's me! I told Yiran when I was little!" Hua Lifang interjected suddenly.Ling Yiran was slightly stunned while Gu Lichen, after hearing this answer, stared somewhat blankly at Hua Lifang. "You told her?""
Somehow, she seemed to feel a faint pain in her heart when she heard this....After listening to Ling Yiran finish her story with Gu Lichen and Hua Lifang, Qin Lianyi opened her mouth wide, muttering, "This is so dramatic."Who would have thought that the entertainment industry's crown prince had changed one girlfriend after another just to find out that the one he was looking for was her best friend's cousin?"Why did he grab your arm in the shop?" asked Qin Lianyi."I asked him something, but it seemed to be a sensitive topic," said Ling Yiran after thinking about it. What puzzled her was why her cousin would say that she told her that.From what she recalled, her cousin never told her about saving a little boy, let alone one who went by the name Chenchen.She just did not have the time to figure it out."By the way, didn't Gu Lichen mistake you for the one who saved him when he was little? Tell me. If you were the little girl who saved his life, who would you pick, him or Y
