Yang Kexin unclasped the necklace around her neck and handed it to the man in front of her. Su Ye suddenly turned around and his eyes were wide as he stared in shock and disbelief at her.

His hands on the sofa started to shake uncontrollably along with his heart.

“What did you say?” he said hoarsely.

Yang Kexin felt as though there was an extremely strong forcefield pressing down on her that left her breathless. She took in huge gulps of air and shifted away from that man.

She pressed her hand against her chest and tried to calm herself down. After some thought she finally said, “Tang Tang and I were both from the third ward of the orphanage located at the South District of West Hai City and we would play together every day and we were so close that we even shared the same bed and food. However, one autumn day, Tang Tang suddenly disappeared for a while. After she returned, she seemed ill. She no longer played with me and stopped eating as well. She would curl up in her bed, looking terrified. She said two uncles had taken an apple from her stomach and her stomach hurt so bad so she asked the aunties at the orphanage if they could kindly ask the uncles to return her apple to her. I don’t remember what happened next but one day, I realized that Tang Tang wouldn’t wake up no matter how hard I shook her. Later, she was carried away by someone who said that she was ill and would never be back. I’ve never seen her again after that and later on, I heard from the other employees at the orphanage that Tang Tang had passed away from her illness.”

“Su Ye, these are all the memories I have of Tang Tang and this necklace belongs to her too. She had kept this necklace in a small backpack and after she was carried away, I opened her backpack and discovered this necklace. I’ve worn it around my neck ever since,” Yang Kexin said softly. Then, she rubbed at her temples as though she had lost herself in her memories. She also placed the necklace on the car seat.

Su Ye felt as though his heart had been emptied after hearing her words. His face was as white as snow and his lips were completely leached of all color. He bit his lips tightly and leaned against the car seat dejectedly as he closed his teary eyes.

She was dead!

These three words kept echoing in his mind over and over again like an incantation and intensified the pain and sorrow that washed over him.

“Su Ye...” Yang Kexin said. This was the first time she had seen someone so overcome with sorrow and this was also happening to a man who she had thought of as an unshakeable god.

She reached out to shake his arm.

She didn’t know what Tang Tang meant to this man but when she saw how upset he was, she guessed that Tang Tang might be a relative.

Could she be his long-lost sister?

This was the only possibility that she could think of.

Su Ye remained silent for a long while and the snow outside grew heavier. Each snowflake that fell seemed as though the Heavens were retelling this cruel and tragic tale and the faint glow of the snowflakes made his face look even paler than it already was.

After a long while, he finally said softly, “Open the keyboard at the top and key in your home address. This car will send you home.”

Yang Kexin froze as though she didn’t understand what just happened.

They had met because of this necklace, so had he been treating her as his long-lost sister all along? However, if Tang Tang had been his long-lost sister, why had he been treating her like his girlfriend and even given her the impression that he liked her?
