  Shen Fanxing took two steps forward, but Ye Qingqiu didn’t follow her.

  “Aren’t you going in?”


  Ye Qingqiu looked up at her. Her body swayed and she wanted to lift her leg, but it seemed to have taken root and so, she didn’t move at all.

  Shen Fanxing frowned and said, “After today, you won’t have any other excuse to come here in future.”


  Finishing her sentence calmly, she strode towards the building.

  Ye Qingqiu hesitated for a while before trailing after Shen Fanxing.

  As they neared the corridor, the music became clearer.

  Shen Fanxing paused at the door and turned to look at the pale-looking Ye Qingqiu.

  “Linlin can’t see.”


  Ye Qingqiu’s lips trembled uncontrollably before she bit her lips tightly. Blood seeped out instantly.

  She stubbornly refused to reveal any of her emotions to anyone. Turning her head, her usual gentle voice was hoarse.

  “I know.”


  Shen Fanxing lowered her head and ignored the bitterness that seeped from her heart. In the end, she gritted her teeth and pushed the door open.

  The music stopped abruptly.

  Ji Yi turned her head to look at the door. Shen Fanxing walked in slowly. After a long while, Ye Qingqiu moved to the door. Her brown eyes were fixated on the child sitting on the bench by the window. Even though she was suppressing her emotions, her trembling hands gripped the wall tightly.

  Her child…


  She bit her tongue to prevent herself from revealing her emotions. Staring at the beautiful but unfocused eyes, the ache in her heart surged like a tsunami, flooding her body.

  The child seemed to sense something. He turned her head in the direction of the piano and faced the door and Ye Qingqiu…


  Her breathing halted abruptly and her brown eyes trembled violently.

  That face was what she saw in her dreams!

  Really, it really…


  Ji Yi studied the unfamiliar woman in confusion as she glanced at Shen Fanxing.

  Shen Fanxing frowned, her expression grim.

  She walked to Linlin and squatted down. She stroked his head and asked softly, “Can you guess who I am?”


  Linlin nodded.

  Shen Fanxing smiled gently and said to him, “I know you like music, so I brought a friend of mine to play the piano for you, okay?”


  Linlin nodded fervently.

  “Good boy.”


  Shen Fanxing straightened her body and turned to Ji Yi. “Can I talk to you?”


  Ji Yi frowned slightly. They had not seen each other since they left the school’s anniversary celebration.

  After contemplating for a moment, she nodded.

  The two of them left the piano room and Ye Qingqiu walked in.

  Shen Fanxing didn’t spare her another glance before closing the door.

  The sound of the door closing was like a signal. Tears rushed down her face like a broken dam.

  “Lin… you’re Linlin, right?”


  When Linlin’s tiny body heard Ye Qingqiu’s words, he paused slightly. His face followed Ye Qingqiu’s voice and he looked towards her. His dark eyes were soulless but he was “looking” at her excitedly.

  Ye Qingqiu couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand. Tears streamed down her hand, but it burned her heart instead.

  She ambled slowly to him and held his hand. She caressed his face and scrutinized his eyebrows.

  “Linlin…” She called the child’s name softly.

  That voice contained a unique emotion that no one could replace.

  Linlin pursed his lips tightly as tears streamed down his face…
