Gia's expression turned grim as she uttered those words.Lina was taken aback, sensing a hidden meaning behind Gia's statement. Reflecting on Gia's recent unusual behavior, Lina began to suspect that something more complex was troubling her friend. However, she couldn't quite grasp the full extent of the problem.After a moment of silence, Lina reached out and held Gia's hand, casually delivering a weighty message. "I don't believe you would do something like that to me."Gia was shocked by Lina's response.Lina smiled gently. "If you've truly done something terrible, I hope you hold yourself back until I find out. Please, spare me from experiencing the pain of such betrayal... Maybe then, we can still salvage our friendship."Gia licked her lips, her expression serious.Lina's pure and transparent smile shone like a crystal, exposing the darkness lurking within Gia's heart.Gia recalled her small and crowded home, where her parents treated her as a tool to care for her brother.

The next day arrived, marking the art submission day.All the students who wished to participate in the art exhibition brought their paintings for the judges' preliminary and official reviews before submitting them to the organizing committee for the final review.Surprisingly, Lina, who was usually active in university activities, arrived late that day. As she reached the classroom door, a fellow student stopped her."Lina...""What's wrong?" asked Lina.The girl, known for her honesty, had seen Lina's painting, The Fireflies' Light. Lina had intentionally shown it to her."Lina, did you bring your painting?""Of course!" Lina feigned ignorance. "It's my submission!""But..." The girl pointed toward the classroom.Lina looked inside and saw everyone gathered around Violet. She was beaming with pride, passionately explaining her own "work.""I came up with the idea of fireflies after thinking about it for a few days! What do you think? It's unique, isn't it?"I meticulously

"To be honest, this is a great painting. There's a high possibility that it'll win. It seems like Lina has no chance with the prize."Keira gently pulled Lina's hand, offering her support.Lina smiled at her, shaking her head to indicate that she was fine.She truly was fine. In fact, she was eager for Violet to showcase the painting to the world."What's the matter? Are you speechless now?" Violet taunted. "Ha, Lina, I copied your work. How do you like that? Do you dare to confront me or expose me?"Lina simply looked at her calmly, choosing not to respond.Violet glanced at her phone, a bright smile on her face."My painting has been submitted to the judges... all thanks to you, Lina! If I win, I'll treat you to something nice. How about dog food?" Violet mocked."Thank you for your offer, but I don't need your charity," Lina replied in a flat tone. "You can keep the dog food for yourself. After all, you seem to have a big appetite. If you don't have enough to eat, how will y

"But..." Lina's suspicion grew. "How do you know such a powerful artist? How do you know what she thinks?"Her questions took Zuko aback, his mind racing to find a plausible excuse.Suddenly, he remembered his brother's story about their parents' love story from their youth. Although he wasn't very knowledgeable about it, his brother had added some embellishments to make it more interesting.According to his brother, their father had also hidden his true identity to deceive their mother.He had heard that their mother had almost exposed their father's lies on several occasions, but he always managed to talk his way out of it.He had heard...But what had their father said to get away with it?Zuko scratched his nose anxiously. The more flustered he became, the harder it was for him to come up with an excuse, especially when faced with Lina's clear and perceptive eyes.If only his brother were there... He wouldn't blush when he lied, his heartbeat would remain steady, and his ac

"Oh my, Zeke!" Melissa's heart broke as she watched. She screamed, "Oil isn't free, you know!"However, Zuko stared at her blankly, his face devoid of expression."Quickly!" She slapped his back. "Pour the oil from the pan into the bowl..."Zuko, as if in a daze, held the pan in one hand and the bowl in the other, unsure of what to do."Oh gosh! Get out!" Melissa snatched the bowl and pan away. "If this continues, I might lose my kitchen..."Like a puppet, Zuko was chased out of the kitchen by Melissa.Her words echoed in his head.He suddenly said, "Auntie, did you mean what you said?"Melissa widened her eyes. "What did I say?""Replace our fake marriage certificate with a real one...""Go, go, go!" Although anger still lingered on Melissa's face, there was a smile at the corner of her lips. "But pay me back for the olive oil first!"Melissa closed the kitchen door, ushering Zuko out.Stunned, Zuko walked to the corridor.He looked up at the blue sky. It was sunny, and t

In the past few days, Violet had been like a mouse crossing the street—wherever she went, people mocked her. She shamelessly went to the university but had to cover herself up, completely unrecognizable from head to toe.Despite that, the mocking voices constantly reached her ears. People in the class now understand that Lina had set her up. She wanted them to testify—"It was Lina who copied Xyla Irwin's artwork first, not me!""Violet, save your breath!" Keira was the first to refute her. "If it weren't for your malicious intentions, thinking of plagiarizing Lina's work, this wouldn't have happened!""Exactly..." Someone else chimed in. "Besides, the painting that was submitted for review was yours, not Lina's! Maybe Lina just copied along for fun?""We've all seen how Ms. Grist usually bullies Lina. Hah... it's karma!""You!" Violet shouted angrily, isolated and unsupported, and turned around to run out of the classroom.Normally, she was the one who bullied Lina, but she was n

The scene caught Fred off guard. He slowly raised his head and squinted. His smile was skeptical. "Mr. Hamerton, you're so young. How did you...""Ahem, ahem!" Zuko coughed heavily.Lina tightened her hand that was holding his arm and desperately gave him a look."Uh, yes." Zuko managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty. "I... can't eat sugary foods." He comforted himself inwardly. Yes, he never liked sweet things anyway! After speaking, he looked at Lina. The young woman was smiling brightly. She was really asking for a beating!That was right! He must teach her a lesson when they got home while Melissa could not see them! "So that's how it is." Fred, astute as he was, immediately understood the reason, but he played along. "Shall I change a few dishes for you then?""No need to trouble yourself!" Zuko replied calmly. "My wife and I didn't come here today for this meal. Mr. Grist, just say what you want to say. My wife and I have other matters to attend to." Fred p

"Violet brought upon herself this whole situation!" Zuko pulled Lina up with him with a smirk. "Let's end this meal here. My wife and I will pretend we didn't hear anything you said. If you insist on causing us trouble, I don't mind meeting you in court!""Mr. Hamerton, please wait!" Fred called out to him. "Is there really no room for negotiation?""If my husband says there isn't, then there isn't." Lina chuckled lightly. "Mr. Grist, I understand your desire to protect your niece, but we shouldn't abandon our sense of right and wrong as a person, should we?""What if I offer you an internship position at the Grist Group, Ms. Jenner?""What did you say?" Lina halted her steps and glanced at the man beside her.Zuko furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze filled with suspicion. He discreetly held her small hand tightly and gently squeezed it twice as if telling her not to worry and that he had everything under control."An internship position at the Grist Group isn't just open to any

"Only Morpheus and Sephy aren't like that. They respect and understand me. Sephy told me once, 'One's appearance doesn't indicate anything. A clean heart is what truly matters!'"Rebecca chuckled dismissively."You're a psychologist, yet you fail to grasp this," Wynn said coldly. "Actually, I pity you. You could have stepped out, yet you insist on dwelling on the trivialities."Morpheus has psychological barriers, a consequence of returning from the battlefield. No one has cured his PTSD except Sephy... It shows that a true psychologist is never just a title."What truly heals everything is love!"-One particular morning a year later, sunlight streamed through sheer cream curtains onto the floor.Persephone was sound asleep when she suddenly felt something pressing down on her...

With Morpheus' involvement, the police didn't slack off and quickly found Rebecca.That day, Rebecca was preparing to escape from a small port. The boat she had found was an illegally operating one.As she was about to board, piercing sirens sounded nearby.The boat owner, enraged upon hearing the sirens, grabbed Rebecca by her hair and pushed her into the water.Rebecca screamed for help, but he roared, "I didn't expect you to be sent by the cops!""I'm not..." Rebecca choked on water. "Sir, let's leave now. Your boat is fast. As long as we reach the open sea, no one will catch you!""Dream on!" The boat owner wanted to strangle her. "Do you not understand? These sirens are from the royal guards! Who did you bitch provoke?"Rebecca was dumbfounded. Being a foreigner, she naturally didn't understand the local affairs in the Southeast Aciatic region.The police and royal guards quickly caught up, armed, and surrounded them.Rebecca turned pale and trembled all over, her gaze gr

"You had no choice on the battlefield."Persephone looked at him with her crystal eyes. There was a magical power in them. Even if a devil was tearing him apart, her eyes would always bring him back to light.She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Though you killed your father, you saved the country.""Do you really… think so?"She nodded. "You're not at fault. He was the one who made a mistake. You were just fulfilling your job as a general to protect the country."But I also understand that he's your father who brought you up, after all. You guys must have had happy days before that happened, right?"Morpheus held his head low in silence."You did well as the protector of the country," she said softly. "But as a son, you can secretly pay homage to him."Persephone held his hand. "Reconcile with your father, Morpheus. You'll also reconcile with yourself by doing that, okay?"He was stunned for a long time and felt a lump in his throat.-Morpheus stayed with Persephone in the

"No way!" Christopher smirked, glancing at Morpheus. "To him, you're his only princess! I just got lucky for the princess carry, thanks to you!""Yeah, at least you're self-aware!" Persephone nodded, rubbing her chin."We've known each other for so long! What kind of person do you think I am?" Christopher laughed. "I can be a bit shameless at times, but..."But upon learning that the one she loved was the unbeatable god of war, he willingly stepped back, offering his blessings with a smile."Okay, okay. You two stop crowding around me!" Christopher waved his hand. "Sephy needs more rest, and I'd like to get some more sleep, too! Once we heal, let's go out and have some fun together!""You're still thinking about fun?" Morpheus' deep voice intervened with a wry smile. "With the factory explosion incident, the royal family is furious and will thoroughly investigate it. Many people will probably be coming to talk to you both in the next few days. After all, you two are the most direc

"Let's get out first!""Hey, wait..." Persephone pointed to the other side.In moments of life and death, it wasn't appropriate to laugh, but Morpheus still chuckled. The young Prince Christopher was sprawled on the floor in a very ridiculous pose, and they almost forgot about him!"Don't worry," Morpheus whispered. "I won't let anything happen to him."He had Persephone cling to his back and then carried Christopher.Christopher was a tall fellow, so it took some effort to carry them both to a safe place.Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars rushed in. Their sirens pierced the sky, startling a flock of birds.The fire was soon extinguished, and Persephone and Christopher received timely treatment. Luckily, their burns weren't too severe, and even more fortunately, their faces were unharmed.When Christopher woke up, he felt bandages wrapped around his head, and his skin had a burning sensation. His heart sank, and he was almost on the verge of tears."Tell me the truth! A

There was fire everywhere. Flames rushed toward Persephone like menacing dragons. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the searing pain coursing through her body became clearer. She struggled to get up, the agony almost unbearable.Despite several attempts, it was futile...Something was pinning her feet down, and stones kept falling on her. She couldn't even muster a shout.Many images flashed through her mind in that fleeting moment, each frame featuring Morpheus' face…She remembered the times they had spent together in Flinge, how he had initially distanced himself from her, then later had exerted every effort to protect her. She recalled how he would gently ruffle her hair and call her "silly goose"..."Morpheus, I'm afraid I might have to go first..."The fire grew fiercer, explosions resonated continuously, and she could no longer hold on.Christopher, who was nearby, wasn't any better.Amidst the roaring flames, he couldn't see anything clearly, only pulling

"No need, you can go back first." Morpheus glanced at him. "I'll wait here for her a little longer.""Prince Christopher wouldn't do anything to Ms. Hamerton...""Alfred, what are you thinking?" Morpheus couldn't help but chuckle. "I know exactly what Christopher is like, but I just want to wait here for Sephy. Christopher mentioned that she'd specifically designed these fireworks for me. Hah! I'm the useless one. I don't even dare to go inside and take a look.""Sir, don't say that.""If I wait here, will it count as accompanying her in her efforts?"Alfred nodded.Morpheus smiled and sent Alfred back. He continued waiting under the tree.The air in Southeast Aciatic was hot and humid. The shade of the banyan tree offered some relief, but it couldn't completely dispel the oppressive heat.Morpheus took a deep breath, about to move elsewhere, when he glimpsed a suspicious figure swiftly darting through the factory's side gate.The security at the side gate was lax, making it e

Christopher struggled to swallow the bite of the sandwich in his mouth for what seemed like ages. He gazed at Persephone, his mind wandering back…He didn't just know Morpheus. He had been close since childhood to the children of the two prominent military families in Southeast Aciatic.Compared to the Harrises, he preferred visiting the Ortons, especially when he got to spend time with Morpheus. He considered Morpheus a friend, a brother even, having engaged in countless mischief together, much to their parents' dismay.In his memory, Morpheus was someone who smiled a lot, radiating warmth and brightness like the Southeast Aciatic sun when he did.However, from the moment Kaiden betrayed the country, Morpheus never smiled again, gradually growing distant from Christopher as well.It wasn't until that evening at the gates of the palace that Christopher felt like it had been a lifetime."I... I don't know him." Christopher forced a smile. "Where would I have met your boyfriend!"

Morpheus wasn't just an ordinary person!Christopher wholeheartedly accepted his defeat to Morpheus."Then... I'd like to invite you to come over to my place for a while as a friend. That's fine, right?"-A few days later, Persephone finally ran into Christopher, who had been missing in action for days, in the classroom."Hey, you finally showed up!" She dashed over, plopping down in the seat beside him and handing him breakfast. "You haven't eaten, right? Let's eat together!"Usually, Christopher would readily accept, but he waved his hands now. "No, no, no!""What's wrong?" Persephone widened her eyes. "This breakfast isn't poisoned!"Christopher awkwardly smiled. "You have a boyfriend, so maybe... we should keep some distance."Persephone burst into laughter. Then she remarked, "Strange... Morpheus was right!""Uh, what?""My boyfriend!" She chuckled. "He made this breakfast. I asked if he could also make a portion for you, and he said sure, just worried you wouldn't tak
