Chapter Fifty-Seven: Reminiscence

(PS: This chapter is a recollection, not important, read it or skip it as you please.)

The hardships of those years...

From the beginning, when the two first met:
“Hello, I am Cheng Yuntian. My mother, Shao Suya, asked me to take care of you.”
“Hello. I am Leng Zhen.”
“If you have anything, any problem, just come to me. Or you can move into my villa if you like.”
“Alright.”
“Well, we’ll go now.”

Then, recognizing each other:
“She saved me once before. I fell for her at first sight.”
“He was that boy back then, incredibly handsome—a glance that could last a thousand years.”

After a month together:
“Ah, I don’t want to study, don’t want to solve problems, it’s scary...”
“Hiss... Big Brother, you’re amazing. I wonder what it would be like if you were my boyfriend?”
“Big Brother, if I say I like you, would you believe me?”

Leading to confession:
“If... I say I like you... Forget it, it’s nothing. Just been feeling troubled lately.”
“Little Zhen, I like you too.”

Then came Gu Bingxia’s threats, a great fire, and the Qin brothers’ revelation:
“Leng Zhen, you said Cheng Yuntian is at the event now. If I send someone to harm him right now... what would happen?”
“How is Little Zhen? When will she wake up?”
“Her consciousness is strong, but her injuries are not optimistic. No telling when she’ll wake up. Do you know, Cheng Yuntian? You are the first outsider Little Zhen would risk her life to protect.”
“Actually... you can’t really be called an outsider. After all, your mother is her godmother, and ours too—the Qin brothers’ godmother. You are, in essence, her godbrother.”
“Why do you say that?”
“You mean that line?”
“I am the first outsider Little Zhen would risk her life for.”
“Do you know who set the fire?”
“Who?”
“Miss Gu—Gu Xia Bing, one of your admirers. Isn’t it laughable? The head of the Qin family yielding for a man.
If I’m right, Gu Xia Bing threatened Little Zhen that if she didn’t stay put, if she escaped, you’d be the one hurt. Little Zhen has secretly loved you since childhood. How could she possibly let you be harmed?”

Then came the departure:
“Little Zhen, I’m leaving. Don’t hate me. Take good care of yourself...”

Finally, the two met again:
“Why are you only coming back now? I... almost couldn’t hold on until you returned...”

Cheng Yuntian discovered Little Zhen’s illness:
“Godmother used Little Zhen to keep the Qin and Su families at their peak. What do you think of this move?”

Then Cheng Yuntian was threatened by Du Ruoyan:
“If you don’t agree, what do you think will happen to Leng Zhen?”

They parted again, and once more he lost his girl...

Finally, they reconciled:
“We’re back together, but just as friends for now.”
“I love you, Little Zhen...”
“My girl has left my side once again...”
“He loves, loves so humbly...”
“Little Zhen, please don’t leave, alright...”

Today I was shocked to see this gossip—it ended up being about myself! Should I leave then?!

Regarding some fans’ plagiarism—no, copying entire works—I can only say: well done!

This is only the beginning, not the end.
