Lin Hui stared at her and saw her looking away, while speaking, her voice choked as she started to talk about her past. He clenched his fist as he watched her raise her head, facing the sky as she fanned her tears away to not let them fall.

  Seeing this, he went into a flashback to when Jiang Yue used to do this whenever she gets emotional. It was like a habit that she used to do whenever she was about to cry. She looks tough on the surface but she was very soft and emotional inside. During the fan meetings, she was the first one to get emotional seeing the love from her fans and always fan away her tears.

  Even though her face and figure look different, but…… something was there that was telling him that she was telling the truth. She is his Jiang Yue.

  " It was because of……that bitch……that day when she…." she sniffled and was trying to speak but no words were coming out of her throat whenever she thought about that day.

  However, when she was about to raise her head again to control her tears, someone pulled her into a warm embrace-

  Lin Hui who was standing there and was staring at her in a daze, walked to her and pulled her in his embrace. The storm of emotions that was building inside him busted when he saw a tiny tear rolling down her cheeks. He can't believe that he believed the ridiculous story of this girl. However, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, to him, it feels all real. 

  Xu Nuan was shocked when he suddenly pulled her and covered her in his embrace, he patted her back and said, " I believe you. Don't try too hard to explain yourself. I believe you." he said while patting her back reassuringly.

  She felt touched hearing his words. It made her feel contended that there is someone who believes in her, no matter what. 

  " I am glad that you're safe and alive," he muttered as he tried to not lose his sanity and cry like a baby. Only he knows what pain he felt when he found out that she fell off the harness while shooting. That day, he wasn't at the shooting site and he blames himself for this incident.

  If he had been there, he would have avoided that situation by checking everything beforehand.

  " What are you doing?"

  Xu Nuan felt emotional hearing his words, and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him back. It's been so long that she met her manager, her best friend.

  However, as soon as she did that, she heard a familiar icy cold voice that sent a shiver to her spine.

  She froze as she couldn't even move and just stood there while hugging Lin Hui.

  Whereas Lin Hui raised his head to look at the man who appeared out of nowhere, dressed in his comfy pajamas and a t-shirt, looking at him with his dark expressions-

  Han Zihao who came to the entrance gate of the airport to look for Xu Nuan. It's been a while since she went inside. He tried to call her but she did not pick up, in the end, he came to look for her.

  He looked around with his hands in his trouser pockets when he stopped in steps when he saw the couple, hugging each other while people looked at them and was whispering how good they look together. 

  He scoffed and glared at the people who were calling them a couple. The people looked at him strangely and went inside the airport-

  Lin Hui pursed his lips seeing the man staring at them with his dark expressions. He frowned and was about to say something when Xu Nuan parted away from him and smoothened her clothes.

  She looked at Han Zihao and laughed awkwardly, "Yo, Mr. Han, I thought you already left." She said.

  Han Zihao didn't say anything and looked at Lin Hui, with his blazing eyes. 

  He scoffed and said, "Well, I doubt that you even remembered that you came here with me." He said sarcastically.

  She bit her lower lip and said, "Of course I do remember. I looked for you but you weren't there, so I thought you left."

  "Yeah right. That's why you have 10 missed calls from me." He commented.

  She checked her phone and realized that he was right. Since her phone was on vibration, she didn't hear anything and she didn't have the mind to pick up his calls back there.

  Lin Hui frowned at their exchange and looked at her, "Jian…" he was about to call her name when she turned around and shot him a glare.

  He shut up and wondered if he said anything wrong. Wasn't she saying that she is Jiang Yue, is it wrong to call her name?

  Xu Nuan knitted her brows and realized that he doesn't know anything about her story, her current name, or anything. 

  She held on to his hand and signaled him to shut up. 

  Han Zihao's lips twitched seeing her hand over his. 

  "Er…..Lin Hui, this is Mr. Han, my neighbor and he was the one who drove me here. And Mr. Han, he is Lin Hui, my closest friend." She said while squeezing Lin Hui's hand lightly.

  However, her friendly gestures were bothering Han Zihao to the extent that made his expressions two shades dark.

  His jaw tightened when she introduced him as a neighbor. Neighbour? Is he just a neighbor now? What about her goal to woo him now? 

  Did she forget everything? Also, she never hugged him like this, but she was hugging her so-called friend who didn't look at her as a friend in any way.

  Just like women, men can also easily recognize their rivals in love while the party involved is generally the clueless one.

  "Oh. So you're her neighbor. Thanks for dropping her here. You can leave now, you don't need to bother because of us." Lin Hui said with straight expressions.

  Han Zihao pursed his lips seeing the way he was trying to make his territory. He glanced at Xu Nuan waiting for her to reject, just like she did to Yuhan, but her response left him shocked, " Yes Mr. Han, you can leave. You don't need to wait for us. Lin Hui, you had dinner? If you didn't, then why don't we go and grab a bite? I am starving. To come here, I didn't eat anything." She said while rubbing her stomach.

  Lin Hui looked at her and smiled while nodding. The more he looked at her, the more she appeared as Jiang Yue to him now.

  "-_-" 

  Han Zihao was stupefied seeing his existence as he was just a stranger to her. Who is this man exactly? Close friend? 

  He clenched his fist inside his trouser pockets in annoyance. For some reason, he hated seeing her smiling at him while looking like a fool.

  His gaze was fixated on the way she was casually touching him, calling him Lin Hui and he kept reminded about their hug.

  "Mr. Han, aren't you leaving?" Xu Nuan asked, seeing him still standing there.

  His lips twitched as he responded, " Aren't we going the same way? It would be a waste to go alone, we should contribute to reducing pollution by carpooling. So just come with me. It's not nice for you to bother your 'friend'." He said while emphasizing the word friend.

  "-_-"

  Xu Nuan was speechless as she couldn't understand since when he became so environment friendly?

  Lin Hui stared at him and scoffed seeing him making excuses just to drive her home. " It's okay….Erm……Mr. Han. We can take a taxi back. We should not bother strangers because of our problems. You have already helped Ji… my friend by dropping her here, so…… you're free to leave. Ah, allow me to treat you to a meal as thanks for driving her here on time. Otherwise, I would have without knowing anything." He said while turning to look at Xu Nuan with a smile.

  Han Zihao was at a loss for words. This man is so shameless. He was acting as if he is her boyfriend and wants to treat him on behalf of her.

  Who the hell is he? I am the one….she calls her…… future boyfriend……!

  Han Zihao was confused by his feelings. He feels uncomfortable seeing her with someone else but accepting her chasing makes him feel guilty towards Jiang Yue.

  He was trying hard to not fall for anyone and get hurt but this girl was confusing him. She was acting like a magnet, always pulling him towards, no matter how much he denies it.
