"The world is big and full of wonders. Although there is no basis for it, things that have yet to be proven may still exist."

"So there is?" He had always believed that his sudden heartache was because Shu Shu was calling for help. He could feel it.

Dr. Lin shook his head. "I don't know."

Ling Qiao's eyes were somewhat at a loss, "Is it possible for a single person to disappear for no reason?" Even he himself felt that this question was illusory, like teleportation? Spacetime travel?

Doctor Lin patted him on the shoulder. He felt some heartache as he helplessly said, "Child, don't think too much. If she didn't die, she would definitely come back."

Seeing that he had grown up, he did not want to go home and talk to his parents. This would only affect his parents' mood, and he was just able to talk to Doctor Lin here, he was too tired.

"Dr. Lin, what if she doesn't come back? What if she was in danger? I'm going to save her, but I don't know where she is. If there really is telepathy, how should I be able to sense where she is? "

"Ling Qiao, there are too many things you can't let go of. You can't be like this. Relax a little. You can go out with your friends and relax. You'll get better. Trust me."

Ling Qiao smiled sadly. It seemed that Doctor Lin only thought that it was because he was too sad. They all believed that Shu Shu was dead, but he really felt that Shu Shu was not dead. The pain was so sudden, so obvious, and so painful.

"Dr. Lin, I understand. Thank you." He got up to go.

Doctor Lin reminded him, "Be happy."

"Yes, I will."

Walking out of the hospital, the sky was overcast. The cold wind was mixed with snowflakes, and the weather forecast said that there would be a light snow today. As expected, it really was a light snow. Compared to the heavy snow on Hokkaido, the snow on T City was not really snow.

However, this was enough to make everyone excited. Snow rarely fell in T City, and every snowfall was enough to make people excited. The pedestrians on the street didn't hold any umbrellas, so they didn't mind the snowflakes falling on their heads.

"It's snowing." Someone shouted from behind him. Someone from the hospital ran out to check if it was really snowing.

Ling Qiao raised his head, and the fine snowflakes fell with the wind. He blinked his eyes, and saw Shu Shu's pure and beautiful face smiling in the sky. However, there were tears flowing from her eyes. Ling Qiao forcefully blinked her eyes in an attempt to see clearly. However, in the blink of an eye, he discovered that the sky was still the sky. There was no sign of Shu.

He took a deep breath and exhaled a long plume of white smoke. He rubbed his hand against each other to warm his frozen hand.

Winter had passed, and this year had passed just like that.

When the bell for the new year rang, Ling Qiao lit fireworks in the courtyard. Brilliant fireworks blossomed in the night sky as he prayed that the new year would have good weather and his family would be safe and healthy. This was his greatest wish.

On the other side of the Tang Clan, the villa was no longer brightly lit. They had already moved away. Only the light from the street corner did not forget their responsibilities. It shone brightly in the darkness.

Last New Year's Eve, he had counted down to the last year with Shu Shu. Flowers, wine, delicacies, beauties … there were many of them, as if those were all from yesterday. But on the first day of the new year, rumors spread about him and Tang Siqing. Now that he thought about it, Tang Beiqing had started her plans a long time ago.

"Son, come in quickly. It's cold outside."

"Oh, right away."

This year's New Year's Eve, accompanied with parents countdown, many years did not spend at home New Year, his parents are old.

His life was still the same, neither too good nor too bad. Ling Qiao felt as if he was frozen, as if he was always cold. He was neither cold nor hot, and was meticulous in his treatment of work. He would do whatever he had to do.

If he was caught walking around, it would be a face with a frown on his face. Nothing stirred up a ripple in his heart, as if he didn't care about anything at all.

"Duk Duk Duk."

"Come in."

Guo Qing walked in with a troubled expression. "CEO, Miss Osha has been arguing about wanting to see you. She's downstairs."

Osha hadn't heard this name in a long time, after all, this woman had accompanied him for three years.

Ling Qiao raised his head and said indifferently, "Since she's here, let her come up."

Not so much an underground lover as a firecracker. Friend, he had never had any feelings for her. Osha was also more realistic, as long as there was money, fame and benefits then she would be obedient. In the end, she would just break up and split up.

Ling Qiao knew in his heart that Ou Sha's movie, with Ou Sha as the main character, was even more popular than the female lead, Osha was definitely not convinced, she must have come here for a reason.

When Osha walked into the office, she was dressed in her usual ladylike attire, gentle and generous. Her face, which resembled Tang and Qingqing's, had once captivated Ling Qiao, but now it disgusted him.

"What's the matter?" Ling Qiao went straight to the point.

Osha didn't beat around the bush. She knew that Ling Qiao didn't like to beat around the bush. She directly said, "My popularity has been declining quite a bit recently. If this goes on, I won't be able to continue. I want the endorsement from Shen Xiaoxuan."

Ling Qiao raised an eyebrow. Osha's appetite was not small, and her eyes were sharp as well. The moment she opened her mouth, she wanted to accept both fame and fortune. Ying Tian's endorsement had always been well-received, with female celebrities flocking over to welcome him. Shen Xiaoxuan's situation in Japan had become a hot topic. Although it was negative, it was still controversial.

"Shen Xiaoxuan's endorsement contract hasn't expired yet. Yintian didn't say she wanted to exchange for someone else, so it can't be exchanged." Ling Qiao said coldly. There was no room for negotiation.

"Ling Qiao, you know my situation very well. I really need a spokesperson with a very high reputation. Otherwise, I won't have a chance to turn the situation around."

"This matter is none of your business. If you cause any trouble at Ling Bai Group's building, you won't even have the chance to show your face in the future."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Osha shook her head with a cold heart, "You are really cold-blooded right now. Everyone says that you are heartless, it seems that you are not lacking at all."

Ling Qiao looked at her without changing her expression, "You're not young anymore, stop playing around. Find someone to settle down."

"Osha was stunned. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed that these words came out of Ling Qiao's mouth. It looks like Shu Shu's departure was a huge blow to him." "So it turns out that you love her so much …" she said lightly, a faint sadness flashing across her face.

Ling Qiao was silent. In the blink of an eye, he had already looked at the picture beside the document. It was Shu Shu's picture. Ling Qiao did not deny it.

She had accompanied him for three years when he was empty and lonely. Three years was enough for her to fall in love with this dragon among men, and to the extent that she could not extricate herself from it. She had always known that she was just a double, but so what if she was? She didn't care. If she could stay by his side, she wouldn't mind being a double for the rest of her life.

Unfortunately, it seemed that a man's love would never be used on her. First it was Tang, then it was Qing Qing, then it was Shu, as if fate had decreed that Ling Qiao wouldn't fall in love with her even if he loved others.

In the past, she had been able to use a thirty percent resemblance to Tang Xiuqing as a bargaining chip, but now, this thirty percent resemblance was only enough to make him loathe her.

Fortunately, she was a sensible person and knew what she needed.

"Ling Qiao, regardless of what you thought of me during those three years, at least during the three years when Shu Shu didn't appear, I didn't do anything to make things difficult for you, right?"

Ling Qiao's sharp gaze turned to look at her. "You want to threaten me?" He was on guard against anyone, and now that he had learned his lesson from Tang Siqing, he was even more wary of them.

"Don't you worry, I look like Tang and Qing, but my heart is different. I won't do anything to lower my character for a man who doesn't love me." With a hint of pleading, she said, "Ling Qiao, you know my family's condition. My father has always been in poor health, my brother is also studying abroad, and with my huge expenses, I cannot save any money, I cannot change my family's support into my family's burden. I beg of you, please help me."

Ling Qiao took a deep breath. He thought that if he were to be left outside, he also hoped that there would be people who would be able to help her during her time of adversity. He flipped through his work log and said: "Shen Xiaoxuan's endorsements will not be replaced, but there is another product in the Sakura Territory. If you're not afraid of being compared, I'll give it to you."

Osha smiled gratefully. "Of course, thank you."

"I don't want our past relationship to be exposed now, otherwise …" Ling Qiao's eyes were sharp and cold. "You understand."

Osha nodded, "I understand, I understand. I'll leave first." She understood that if their relationship was exposed, it would also mean that her acting career was over. She wouldn't joke about her own career, since it was already the past. She really wouldn't reveal it.

After Osha left the office, Ling Qiao was slightly more at ease. Thinking back to the past, he wished that he could take back all those wasted feelings and energy.

In the spring of March, the happy news of Deng Zijun and Shang Xiaoyun's marriage arrived. They were finally going to be married.

The wedding ceremony was simple. There were churches, flowers, friends, relatives, and well-wishes.

Ling Qiao sat down, clapping his hands and wishing the newlyweds a deep blessing. He saw Shang Xiaoyun's smile, which was laced with tears, and Deng Zijun's speechless happiness. He was also very happy to see that the people who worked with him every day were able to achieve such happiness.

Ling Qiao lowered his head, unconsciously stroking his fingers. The ring had long since disappeared, and he was very much missing Shu Shu. They had been in the same scene before, in the presence of the bride and groom.

So, happiness is very similar.

In the CEO's office, Ling Qiao was looking through the documents carefully when a new email message suddenly came through from the computer. He opened it and saw that it was a new endorsement from Osha, and he looked at a lot of them every day.

It was a group of street photos, and Osha acted natural. The style of the photos showed her caution and her ambition.

Ling Qiao knew that this was a smart and realistic woman.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted as his eyes focused on a photo taken in the streets of Japan. The background was like a private temple fair in Hokkaido, with Osha in the center, of course, but in the left corner, there was a back that looked very much like ShuShu.

He couldn't believe it. He reached out his hand to touch the computer screen and enlarged the photo. He saw that the figure in the photo had a head of long black hair, and when the wind blew, half of the hair was blown away. She was taking her bag out for a stroll, and the gestures she made while holding the bag resembled Shu Shu's.
