Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

They had been buddies and rivals at love in the past. Now, they were old friends with shared memories.

The hero of the past had been a young hero after all. Hailing from a family as prominent as the Zhens, how would it ever have been possible for him to never marry because of one woman?

Wen Fenglin had expected such an outcome. Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but be disappointed when confronted with the fact.

Xian’er, you chose the wrong man.

...

The reason Yu Lili had arranged for Ou Ming to stay at a hotel away from their own was because she didn’t want Shen Zhilie and the others to find out about it.

Now that Shen Zhilie had discovered the situation, and Ye Qianqian knew that the friend she had been referring to was Ou Ming, Yu Lili decided to take Ou Ming along to the hotel she way staying in.

There was a huge shopping mall near to their hotel. Yu Lili took Ou Ming there to purchase a change of clothes before checking him into the hotel.

When the trio returned to the hotel, they realized that Old Mrs. Shen and Ye Qianqian hadn’t returned back. Regardless of whether using Shen Zhilie’s phone or Yu Lili’s phone, none of the calls made to them could get connected.

It was nothing out of the ordinary for a call not to get through. But, if calls from both phones yielded the same result, could something have gone wrong?

Yu Lili and Shen Zhilie began to worry. Yu Lili said, “Why don’t we try to look around and find them? It’s impossible that both their phones ran out of battery, right?”

It would be lucky indeed if it was just a case of drained cell batteries. However, what if... The thought itself was horrifying.

Shen Zhilie began to panic even more and said, “I’ll go and find them.”

“Wait for me. I’ll take Ou Ming to his room, and we’ll go together.” When Yu Lili said that, Ou Ming’s hand holding hers squeezed tighter.

Shen Zhilie glanced at Ou Ming. Despite his own reluctance, leaving Ou Ming alone wasn’t too appropriate either. He thought about it for a moment and said, “Forget it. Stay here. If I can’t find them, I’ll call you for help.”

At the same time, Yu Lili looked down at Ou Ming’s hand that was grabbing onto hers tightly. With a nod of the head she said, “Alright then. Be careful.”

Only after Shen Zhilie left, did Ou Ming relax. Yu Lili clearly felt in the mild difference in Ou Ming’s disposition and found it laughable. She took the key card and took him into his room.

Upon entering, Ou Ming refused to release Yu Lili’s hand. “I haven’t bathed for a few days, and I wasn’t wearing proper shoes. I’m very dirty.”

His meaning couldn’t be any clearer. He wanted Yu Lili to help him bathe.

Yu Lili pretended not to get it. She emptied the newly purchased clothes from the shopping bags onto the hotel bed. She removed the packaging of the men’s boxers and flung it over it him. After a glance around, she found a bathrobe for him and said, “Go take a bath, then.”

“My hand was scalded. Look.” Ou Ming stretched his hand forward. “It hurts. It feels like it’s burning. I think if it comes into contact with warm water, the pain will worsen.”

Indeed, there were blisters all over. Yu Lili took a closer look at his hand. Even looking at it felt painful.

“Uncle Wen said he’ll come for me when he’s done with his business. But I haven’t heard from him until now. By the time he comes to help me bathe, I’ll be so smelly,” Ou Ming said.

Yu Lili looked up. “You’ve been in contact with Uncle Wen?”

“Yeah. It seems like he’s been very busy lately,” Ou Ming said.

Indeed, Uncle Wen had exhorted her many times to take good care of Ou Ming. The current state that Ou Ming was in didn’t look like he’d been taken good care of.

Having come up with a justifiable excuse for herself, Yu Lili finally said against her better judgment, “Alright then. Only for Uncle Wen’s sake.”
