Even though I couldn't see his face in the dark night, I knew that other than Mu Chen, no one would be so gentle to me.

"It's really you …" Is it really you, Mu Chen... "

I reached out to touch him, to embrace him.

"You're back, you're really back …" Tears streamed down my face once again. My mother's death had given me a fatal blow, and Mu Chen's return could be said to be my only consolation at the moment.

"Mu Chen, I know you won't forgive me, I know you are still blaming me, can you not leave me again, no matter what you want me to do, you can torture me however you want, as long as you don't leave me … I have nothing left... "I can't lose you again …"

The other person didn't say anything, but just quietly hugged me.

"Just let me stay by your side, Mu Chen, I know that I am no longer worthy of you … "So, as long as you let me stay by your side …"

"Do you love me?" Before I could finish, he interrupted me. His voice was a little shaky.

"Love, how can I not love!" I cried hysterically, "Take me with you. I don't want to be alone anymore …"

"I won't, I'll leave you behind." Mu Chen said as he gently patted my back. Receiving his promise, it was as if I had eaten a pill to calm my mind.

After an unknown amount of time, I fell asleep again in a trance.

When I woke up, I tried to feel around me, but there was no one there.

So it was just a dream.

I burst into tears again, wiping my eyes with my hand. Suddenly I felt something in my hand, opened it, and saw a ring inside.

The ring that has the names of Mu Chen and I engraved on it.

I clearly remember that I didn't remember this. I already put it away, how could it be …

Was this the way he was going to tell me that he was always with me?

"Mu Chen, Mu Chen..." I flipped down from the bed and shouted at him. Suddenly, I saw Bo Lengqing walking in from outside the door.

I almost forgot, this is Bo Lengqing's house, a place like this is simply impossible for Mu Chen to enter.

So all of this was indeed a dream of mine …

I soullessly turned around, but Bo Lengqing actually walked towards me, tightly placed his hand on my shoulder and hugged my waist.

"You haven't recovered yet. You need to rest well."

The soft voice almost made me think, but I knew he was just feeling sorry for me.

He carried me back to bed and asked me in a low voice, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

I shook my head and he smiled. This was the first time I saw him smile so gently at me.

I don't know why, but it was clearly a completely different face, but when he smiled, it was as if all the ice from before melted in that instant. Also, through his smile, I seemed to see a familiar sunlight …

Mu Chen...

No, he was not Mu Chen! He was Bo Lengqing, the same name as the other person, the ice-cold Bo Lengqing who did not have a single trace of warmth!

"I'll do it for you." As he spoke, he patted my head lovingly.

His movements and techniques were extremely similar to Mu Chen.

After a while, he appeared in front of me with a bowl of egg soup. He couldn't eat anything, so he turned his face away. He didn't want to look at him and didn't want to speak.

"There are mushrooms and sesame oil inside. Open your mouth, come and try it."

I was stunned, why did his words sound so similar to Mu Chen's?

I remember in the past, when I was sick, Mu Chen would personally cook a bowl of egg soup for me.

"Come, tea, be obedient, open your mouth …" He was coaxing me as if I were a child. I stared at him with my eyes filled with tears.

"What's wrong?" He frowned. "Why are you crying?"

I shook my head. "I was just thinking of a friend of mine from before. He also likes to make me some egg soup."

The smile on Bo Lengqing's face easily turned gentle: "What happened next?"

"I lost him." I bit my lip to keep from crying.

"Anything that is lost will be returned to you in a different way. Su Cha, do you regret it?"

I forcefully nodded my head, "It's because I was too weak and was caught in the shadows. Even if he was framed, I still wouldn't be able to clear it up for him. If I can do everything again, I definitely won't let him get hurt again …"

"Really?" He put down the bowl, his tone suddenly serious.

"Really." I wiped away my tears.

He suddenly sighed and hugged me tightly: "Su Cha, what should I do with you?"

I didn't know why, but I curled up in his arms. I didn't know what he was talking about, but his arms were warm and comforting.

Bo Lengqing began to feel strange.

After being together for such a long time, he had basically always treated me with an ice-cold attitude. In these two years, I could be said to be completely clueless about him, other than him being the only heir recognized by the Bo Family.

He had never shown me even the slightest bit of gentleness, but for some reason, he had been smiling at me recently, his words and actions extremely similar to my Mu Chen.

If not for that completely different face, I would have thought that he was Mu Chen.

He had been with me during my saddest hours, caring for me, caring for me, making me feel that I had not been left behind.

I don't know why he did it, it was my own gradual immersion in his tenderness, I was afraid it was an illusion.

Because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to pull it out.

"You … "What exactly do you want from me?" I finally could no longer continue like this and looked straight at Bo Lengqing.

He frowned out of habit. "What are you talking about?"

"Why are you being nice to me? Why are you being so tender to me? Did you come up with another way to deal with me? Bo Lengqing, what exactly do you want from me? "

I looked at him with some fear. He was stunned for a moment before a complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Is it really that bad that I've treated you so well?" I don't know why he did it. The more he did it, the more terrified I became.

"I'd rather you were as cold to me as ever!" I was afraid that I would see Mu Chen's shadow on him, because that would cause me to be unable to differentiate between the two of them.

"But I don't want to do that to you anymore, Su Cha," he said as he walked over to me and sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking my face.

"I love you."

When the word came out of his mouth, I felt as if my whole body had been electrocuted. It was not a signal of my heart's desire, but of my fear.

Hysterical fear.

I had always wanted to run away from him, to try to do everything I could, but a single word from him that he loved me meant that he would never let me go — at least until he got tired of it, I would only be a canary in his cage.

"Don't you love me!" I shouted at him hysterically, forgetting that my life was in his hands.

Or perhaps it's because of my mother. Without the only hope in this world, even if I die, I become fearless.

"Su Cha!" There was something in his expression that I could not put into words.

"Don't you love me! Bo Lengqing, I beg you, do not love me! " I looked at him with tears in my eyes. "I can't love you, and I can't afford to love you either!"

"Su Cha, I..." He tried to hug me, but I was afraid of his approach.

"Don't touch me!"

His hand froze in midair, his smile still as gentle as ever.

"Tea, there are too many misunderstandings between us. There are many things that I cannot explain to you right now, but please believe me. No matter if it is before or now, all I want to do is to keep you by my side."

He got up from the bed and took my ring with him.

"What are you doing?! Give it back to me! " I threw myself onto Bo Lengqing's body in an attempt to snatch the storage ring back.

"It should be returned to its original owner, Su Cha, if you are willing."

As Bo Lengqing said that, his eyes became extremely fervent. I didn't understand what he meant, but he lightly kissed my forehead: "I love you, Su Cha."
