Ye Ningyuan did not expect that he would bump into Xu Xing again this time when bringing Xunuo out. It seemed to be a coincidence again. It was not awkward as he was not guilty toward Xu Xing. It was just that he did not know how to introduce them to each other.

  Xu Xing was out to watch a movie with her friends, and they met when they were in the mall. Xunuo had eaten dinner and suddenly wanted to buy a present for him, thus dragging him to the mall.

  They met once again.

  Xu Xing greeted them calmly and Ye Ningyuan smiled. Xu Xing wanted to hug him as it was an etiquette, but An Xunuo pulled Ye Ningyuan away to avoid Xu Xing. “Only I can hug him.”


  Xu Xing was shocked and stood there awkwardly. An Xunuo looked serious and sounded cold. Ye Ningyuan was about to make things less awkward when Xu Xing’s friend said, “Do you know who she is? You actually dare to snatch with her. You’re overestimating yourself.”


  Ye Ningyuan’s eyes darkened and Xu Xing pulled her sleeves. “Sarah, shut up.”


  An Xunuo stared at them coldly. Sarah was also a wealthy and respected lady and felt that there was nothing special about An Xunuo. Therefore, she was not afraid of An Xunuo and stared back, but she was stopped by Ye Ningyuan.

  Sarah was actually afraid of his cold gaze. It was very sharp and she did not dare to look at him. She only felt that there was something cold that went from her toe to her head.

  Xu Xing did not know what to do. “Ningyuan, sorry, my friend didn’t mean it.”


  She felt bitter. Ye Ningyuan had said that An Xunuo was his friend and recovering at his house, but was she really his friend? If so, why was she so reluctant when it was just normal etiquette, and why were they so close every time she saw them together? They were holding hands and he was very gentle to her. He looked at her with a doting smile. It was something Xu Xing had never seen.

  She could see them from very far away.

  She followed them here and saw how he protected and doted on the girl. Whoever saw them would have thought that they were a couple.

  Didn’t he love her sister a lot?

  He loved her sister for more than a decade. He lost his vision because of her sister, shut himself from others because of her sister, rejected her because of her sister, and did not get close to women because of her sister. He drew the lonely drawings for more than a decade.

  She always thought that he would love his sister forever and not change. He might marry others for some reason but would never love anyone. But, what’s with this woman in front of her?

  Was it that not everything would last forever?

  Xu Xing did not understand.

  “Xu Xing, let’s meet another day,” Ye Ningyuan said and held An Xunuo’s hand and left.

  Xu Xing suddenly called him. “Ningyuan, do you still remember my sister?”


  Ye Ningyuan was shocked and the hand holding An Xunuo suddenly tightened, causing An Xunuo to hiss in pain. The feelings that were kept at the bottom of his heart started to stir up again.

  He was someone that had strong willpower but felt that it was so painful that it was unbearable too.

  Did he still remember Nuo Nuo?

  How could he have forgotten? She was someone that he kept thinking of.

  Sometimes, he thought that he should forget about Nuo Nuo. He would not feel so bad if he forgot about her. But, he could not do it, even if it was only for a day or an hour.

  But, someone actually asked him if he still remembered her?

  Wasn’t that a joke?

  Ye Ningyuan turned around. His dark eyes were like a pool of calm water, calm and cold. “Xu Xing, I can forget anyone in this world but not her.”


  Xu Xing felt as if there was something strangling her heart tightly and her heart was about to burst. But, she smiled. “What about her? You still fell in love with someone else, right?”


  Xu Xing was sad. She felt that she should not have been overboard, but she still asked. She knew that her sister died because of him and he would remember that forever. If……

  If it was her, she would protect him at all cost too and would do the same thing. Her love for him was not any lesser than anyone, but she didn’t have this chance. It was happiness to die for someone and let him remember forever.

  Her sister was actually very blessed.

  There was someone that remembered her forever.

  She always felt bad toward Xunuo ever since she knew of her existence. Ye Ningyuan’s accusation of her used to be like ants biting her heart as everything he said was the truth.

  The Xu family abandoned Xunuo because of the curse. They were sisters but had different fates, and she knew it was indeed the truth. She also knew that this was not her decision and not her fault.

  She always felt bad toward Xunuo.

  But, she really liked Ye Ningyuan. She did not want to snatch the only thing her sister had and wanted to quietly accompany him. This was enough for her. Could this not be possible too?

  If it was impossible, then why was it possible for others?

  He treated her well and doted on her, and she knew it. He gave her everything that he could not give to her sister, and Xu Xing did not feel bad about it. Instead, she was thankful to her sister for letting Ye Ningyuan dote on her for the past few years. Without Xunuo, Ye Ningyuan would not even look at her.

  But, no matter how well he treated her, it was not like in the past where he would hold her hands and speak softly to her and smile at her gently. He was always smiling at her and always gentle, but it was behind a thin layer of film.

  She was a little envious of the girl beside him.

  Ye Ningyuan let go of An Xunuo and walked up. He held Xu Xing’s shoulders and said solemnly, “Xing Xing, you’ve misunderstood.”


  He knew what Xu Xing had misunderstood, but he did not know how to explain. He pitied An Xunuo, but it was not love. Nobody would hurt An Xunuo given how she was like now.

  Moreover, she just went through a lot and he witnessed her sufferings. He also knew that she would not lead such a happy life after she regained her memory. He wanted her to be happy for now.

  This was not love……

  But, he did not know what exactly it was.

  He only knew that he loved Xunuo and it would never change.

  “Is this really a misunderstanding?”


  “Whether or not this is a misunderstanding, Xing Xing, I’ve said it two years ago and I don’t want to repeat it. You are always smart and should understand what I mean. I can only be your doting brother,” Ye Ningyuan said it word by word.

  Xu Xing gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes. But she did not cry……

  Ye Ningyuan suddenly felt that something was not right. He immediately turned back and An Xunuo that should be behind him had disappeared.
