A friend pierced Ling Yitian’s heart. What kind of relationship did they have now? It could only be a cooler relationship than a friend’s.

  Tian Mi looked at Ling Zishan and smiled politely. She turned around and pushed the children’s cart forward with great difficulty.

  Seeing this, Ling Yitian ran two steps and went to help Tian Mi push the cart.

  “No need ……”


  Tian Mi raised her head to look at the man in front of her. This was the first time she had looked at this man so closely and calmly since she parted ways. He was a man of the past.

  Why wasn’t You Xuanyao by Tian Mi’s side? Looking at Tian Mi’s big and small bags on the cart, You Xuanyao’s boyfriend was too incompetent. He actually let Tian Mi go shopping alone with two treasures.

  No, why did Tian Mi come here to shop? Neither her apartment nor her hotel is in this area.

  Did she go back there?

  “Zishan, Auntie will probably be anxious. You go back first, I will go back later.”


  “Alright.”


  Ling Yi Tian instructed Ling Zi Shan behind him. Ling Zi Shan looked at Ling Yi Tian’s nervous expression and did not say anything as she carried the shopping basket to the cashier.

  Ling Yitian did not have any plans to let go. You Xuanyao could not be his Flower Protection Envoy, so Ling Yitian was very happy to take over.

  Without waiting for Tian Mi to react, Ling Yitian reached out to take the cart and asked Tian Mi, who was frozen on the spot.

  “Is there anything else you haven’t bought?”


  Tian Mi suddenly reacted. Looking at Ling Yitian’s back, she was dumbfounded. Four years ago, the past seemed to have returned like a nightmare. It appeared in her mind again and again. Four years had passed, and she hadn’t let Tian Mi off.

  “Mr. Ling, wait.”


  Tian Mi came back to her senses and ran over, taking the cart from Ling Yitian’s hand.

  “I won’t bother you anymore. There’s nothing left to buy. We should go now.”


  Ling Yitian did not intend to give up, and he did not let go of the cart.

  “I’ll see you off. The car is outside.”


  The people in the supermarket came and went, and the two of them were stuck in a stalemate. They couldn’t avoid attracting some gazes, causing Tian Mi’s entire body to feel uncomfortable. In the end, she gave up struggling.

  Tian Mi picked up Tian Bao and Tian Tian from the cart, held one hand and walked towards the entrance of the supermarket without looking back.

  Seeing this, Ling Yitian hurriedly followed and went to the cashier’s desk to settle the bill. He walked to the door with large bags and small bags. Tian Mi did not leave with the two treasures and turned to look at Ling Yitian.

  Ling Yitian was a little panicked, not only because of the supermarket shopping bag in his hand, but also because of the glance back, as if he had suddenly pulled the time to four years ago. Four years ago, Ling Yitian was young and vigorous, and he did not expect that the two of them had already walked into such a strange situation.

  Everything was just fate, who could be blamed for it?

  The wind at the end of December made Tian Honeydew’s hair float outside. Ling Yitian seemed to see the girl sitting on the bar of his bicycle back then. It was just that the thing was man-made. Could they really go back?

  “Mommy, is Uncle You coming to pick us up?”


  Tian Tian stretched out her hand and pulled Tian Mi’s thigh. She raised her chubby little face and looked at Tian Mi pitifully.

  Tian Mi’s heart stirred, and an inexplicable feeling surged up. Was she blaming You Xuanyao or was she not confident in their future?

  Tian Mi was about to be defeated by the contradictory feeling in her heart. She didn’t want to think about it anymore, so she chose to escape.

  “Uncle You, we won’t be coming to our new home any time soon.”


  “Mommy, I just saw Uncle You today.”


  As Tian Tian spoke, her eyes became redder and redder, and she was about to cry.

  “Sister, you still have me and Mommy. Uncle You is an outsider.”


  Tian Bao’s voice had gone through this afternoon’s events. Although Tian Bao was confused and did not know about the relationship between adults, he could feel that Grandma did not like his mommy. Uncle You actually helped Grandma bully Mommy. He did not allow anyone to bully his mommy and sister. No one was allowed.

  Tian Tian sniffled and stopped crying. She plunged her head into Tian Mi’s arms. Tian Mi picked up Tian Tian. Why was this little girl fat again? Tian Mi was hugging her with a bit of difficulty. It was still that man who was strong, not like her. . . . . He unknowingly thought of him.

  “I’ll do it.”


  Ling Yi Tian quickly walked to Tian Mi’s side. Seeing Tian Mi hugging Tian Tian as she struggled, he reached out to take Tian Tian over.

  “No, no one can hug me except Uncle You!”


  Tian Tian grabbed Tian Mi’s neck and refused to let go.

  “No need, I can just carry it. I’ll give you how much these things cost.”


  “Why are you telling me about the money?”


  Tian Mi took out her wallet from her bag and opened it. She took out 500 yuan and handed it over.

  “This should be enough.”


  “Honey ……”


  “Take it, otherwise we won’t even be friends in the future.”


  Tian Mi forcefully stuffed the money into Ling Yitian’s hand. If the man in front of her was You Xuanyao, would she still do that?

  Ling Yitian was helpless and borrowed the money and stuffed it into his pocket.

  “Wait for me. I’ll drive. I’ll take you back.”


  Without waiting for Tian Mi to react, Ling Yitian hurriedly walked to the parking lot. He was afraid that Tian Mi would refuse because he knew that the woman standing in front of him was no longer the woman he used to be.

  Ling Yitian was familiar with this place. Back then, it was also because he knew about Tian Mi’s apartment that he encouraged his father to buy their current house. It was only a dozen minutes’ walk in the neighbourhood.

  Ling Yitian sent Tian Mi and the two treasures to his home, but Tian Mi did not refuse.

  The fingerprint identification electronic lock at the door also recorded Ling Yitian’s fingerprints. The furnishings in the room did not change at all. It was as if the two of them had been stirring up a pot in the kitchen, watching the game all night, and cleaning it up together. With so many of them together, Ling Yitian was almost unable to put them together.

  Ling Yitian sat at one end of the sofa while Tian Baotian sat at the other end of the sofa, not willing to get close to Ling Yitian.

  Ling Yi Tian couldn’t help but look at Tian Bao. This child was actually the same blood type as him. He wished that he would be the child of Tian Mi and himself. Indeed, if they hadn’t been separated back then, their child would have been this old.

  “There’s only water in the house now.”


  Tian Mi brought over a cup of hot water and put a slice of lemon in it. She had just bought it from the supermarket.

  Ling Yitian’s hands were easily cracked in winter. Back then, Tian Mi said that because he lacked vitamins, He would soak a pot of lemonade for him every day and force him to drink it. He always felt that the lemonade was too sour to drink. But later, when Tian Mi was gone, no one would help him soak the water. He began to miss it again. Most people were like this. The things in front of him would never be cherished, and he would only regret it after losing them.

  “Did something happen between you and You Xuanyao?”
