The little girl was sporting two high ponytails and was dressed in a yellow skirt. She hopped towards Jing Yiran and spoke in a cheerful voice with her grape sized eyes wide open. “Brother Jing, what are you doing here? You haven’t been here in such a long time. I missed you!”


  Jing Yiran feared nothing or nobody. He didn’t fear Jing Zhongxiu who was strict and serious or Jing Yichen who broke his bones, every now and then. But he feared this innocent and lovely woman who “pretended to be young”!

  She was already 26 years old, but her voice and looks, plus her intelligence, all resembled a girl in her teens. It seemed that time had stayed still for her.

  But sometimes she could be different too.

  Sometimes, she could be less vivacious than she was right now and not be so innocent and naïve. Instead, she could be powerful and horrifying.

  Jing Yiran blinked and decided to run away from this place, otherwise this weirdo would carry him onto her shoulders and throw him around!

  He regretted that he had not brought some chocolate or colorful candies with him, otherwise she could be distracted by them, giving him a chance to run away.

  “What is it, Brother Jing? Why do you look so pale? Sister Shangguan says that if someone is pale, he might be sick. Do you need to visit the hospital? Brother Mu Qing is a good doctor. He can do a check up for you.”


  Lu blinked and looked innocent. She didn’t know that Mu Qing had already gone abroad.

  Jing Yiran got so annoyed that blood rushed up to his head when he heard about Mu Qing!

  Damn Mu Qing, he had put so many needles in his manhood that it hadn’t gone up in a long time. It was no longer as strong as it used to be.

  And he had been teased by Shangguan Ning. It was so depressing that he had an impulse to kill himself!

  “Lu, I am not feeling well, so I will be off now. I will keep you company, later. Bye now!”


  Having said the words, Jing Yiran decided to sneak away.

  But Lu caught his arm suddenly and he couldn’t pull it away from her.

  “Brother Jing, stay with me and play. People here are so boring and they don’t play with me. Sister Shangguan is busy with work and I am bored. Let’s play wrestling!”


  Jing Yiran shivered and said, “Lu, I am sick today, so I can’t play with you. What about some other day, instead? See, your candy is melting!”


  Wrestling?!

  He would lose his life by playing with Lu!

  This girl had become so strong because of whatever she ate. No one would ever dare to play with her!

  Lu would not want Jing Yiran to go away.

  With one hand holding on to Jing Yiran’s arm and the other holding the lollipop, she said eagerly, “If you keep me company, I will give you the lollipop!”


  The lollipop almost poked his face, scaring him.

  He lost his patience and was about to curse her when he suddenly got attracted by the scent of the lollipop. He couldn’t help but take a sniff.

  Strange enough, why did the scent feel so familiar?

  He had smelled this somewhere before.

  Something clicked in his brain and he suddenly realized where he had smelled it before.

  He scooped Lu into his arms and sniffed around her neck.

  “Brother Jing, what are you doing? It tickles so much. Why are you holding me? Sister Shangguan says that only my husband can hold me. If you want to hold me, you must marry me!”


  Sure enough, it was the same smell.

  Sweet candy blended with the strong fragrance of chocolate!

  It was Lu!

  Jing Yiran almost lost his breath as the realization dawned on him.

  This was impossible!

  The feeling the woman gave to him when he was sleeping differed from that of Lu entirely.

  He was certain that the woman was mature, someone with strong capability, not a flawed little girl like Lu.

  Jing Yiran held Lu’s shoulders and looked completely confused. He asked. “Who on earth are you?”


  But Lu looked even more confused than him. “Are you dumb, Brother Jing? I am Lu! Oh, now I share the same family name with Sister Shangguan. Haha, I am Shangguan Lu. Does it sound nice?”


  Jing Yiran stared into Lu’s eyes intensely, but much to his disappointment, she didn’t show any sign of pretentiousness. She was not lying.

  What was happening?

  Lu gave him a sense of familiarity, but it was a feeling that disappeared as soon as he started to talk with her.

  He always felt that Lu resembled someone, but he had no clue who was it.

  Encouraged, Jing Yiran asked her again the question which he had repeated so many times. “Lu, do you have a twin sister?”


  Lu shook her head in bewilderment as usual. “No, I am an orphan. I have no family! But, Brother Jing, I remember you asked me this question before also.”


  Jing Yiran got so irritated that he tugged at Lu’s hair, messing her braids.

  He removed her braids and tossed the rubber bands onto the ground.

  Lu looked completely different with her hair down, especially when she was silent.

  She looked charming and innocent.

  Staring at her, Jing Yiran was attacked by the sense of familiarity again.

  And it was a feeling stronger than ever.

  He raised Lu’s exquisite chin and said seriously, “I have seen you before, but I just can’t remember it.”


  Lu stretched out her hand, stood up on the tip of her toes and started to massage Jing Yiran’s forehead.

  The moment their skin touched, Jing Yiran’s body underwent an electrical shock.

  In his recurring dream, there was a hand that caressed his forehead with slightly freezing fingertips many times, gently. The sigh still seemed to linger next to his ears. “Why bother……”
