When Xia Yu's hand touched Gong Qin's face, his skin felt slightly cold, and the sensation was extremely good.

If in his previous life, Xia Yu didn't even have the right to look at him in such a close distance, he would look at her with an expression of disgust, and wouldn't let her get any closer. Although Xia Yu wanted to get close to the injury that he had suffered in his heart, she had to carefully cooperate with him as much as possible, as she did not want him to feel any discomfort.

"Gong Qin..." Xia Yu muttered.

She looked at Gong Qin's face and touched it with her fingertips. She stroked his eyes, his nose, and finally stopped at his lips.

Suddenly, her face turned red, as if she was having a fever.

Stupid … What was she thinking? It was impossible. Furthermore, in this life, she had already decided not to get involved with these people anymore, and she would not like him! Being fond of Gong Qin was suicidal, this man wouldn't care about anyone, he just liked him … Then he would lose.

Xia Yu suddenly retracted her hand and looked at him quietly. It was unknown if she suddenly thought too much, but her expression tensed up. After that, endless exhaustion washed over her. She slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Not long after she fell asleep, Gong Qin opened his eyes. Just now, Xia Yu's movements were gentle, and he had already woken up at that time, but he did not open his eyes.

He was afraid that he would wake up, but Xia Yu was not like this.

"Just what are you hiding? Why are you so resistant?" Gong Qin frowned. These days, he had not done anything to embarrass himself against Xia Yu, he just wanted to get to know her better, but this woman was covered with thorns and must not be approached by anyone. Furthermore, she would not easily open her heart.

However, so what?

Gong Qin only chuckled and reached out to pull Xia Yu into his embrace before closing his eyes.

The next day.

Xia Yu slept very deeply this time, to the point where she forgot that she was back at the Xia Clan household and that there was another person sleeping beside her. Thus, when she opened her eyes and saw the person who was almost within reach, her pupils shrank, as if she had seen a ghost.

What sort of scene was this?

Why were the two of them so close to each other? Xia Yu was about to slowly move backwards, when she felt Gong Qin holding her. Suddenly, her entire body stiffened, and she did not dare move.

Could it be that if you slept on the same bed, you would sleep together just like that?

Her face was filled with fear. She didn't know what kind of expression Gong Qin would have when he woke up after a while. He hated people who approached him without permission, or touched him as if he was infected with a virus.

Just as Xia Yu was thinking, Gong Qin frowned and opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and black. They were so clear that it was as if they were the highest grade of glass. Such a face, coupled with clear eyes, would definitely cause everyone's hearts to palpitate. When Xia Yu saw this, her breath also stopped, and she didn't know how to react.

Gong Qin's gaze moved slightly as he looked at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu suddenly stood up, and then pushed him away, "I … You took the initiative to hug me. "It's not me..."

Just now, Xia Yu's body was very soft, and it felt very good to hug her. The smell of her body was not rich, and when this smell entered her nose, it was a very comfortable feeling. Gong Qin's expression darkened slightly, but he did not say a word.

Xia Yu thought that he was angry.

Gong Qin's gloomy expression indicated that the consequences would be very frightening.

She squinted her eyes, at a loss of what to do, just at this time, Gong Qin stood up, began to put on his clothes, and said quietly: "Go back earlier today, I still have some work to do, and can't stay for too long."

He … No response?

Xia Yu was startled, then looked at Gong Qin. Indeed, Gong Qin did not seem to be about to get angry. Xia Yu immediately let out a sigh of relief and answered. "I understand." In any case, she had no intention of staying any longer. This place would probably never come back.

She sighed.

The two of them quietly packed their things, Xia Yu took one last look around the room, upon seeing that the cabinet was covered in dust, she suddenly thought of something, she quickly walked over and took out a box from the cabinet. The box was also covered in dust. With a single blow, dust filled the air.

Gong Qin couldn't help but frown.

"Ah, I almost forgot about that..."

Xia Yu opened the box in surprise. It was empty inside, there wasn't much inside, it was just a picture frame and it seemed to be broken, the glass was filled with cracks. Xia Yu's expression softened as her hands faintly trembled... She had left too hastily in her previous life and had forgotten about this one photo. When she went back to the Xia family to retrieve it, this room had already been completely cleaned and devoid of anything.

It was the only picture of her and her mother.

She reached out and pulled out the photo from the frame. It was an old picture. In the photo, a girl was holding a girl's hand tightly. The woman revealed a gentle smile. Her appearance was gentle and beautiful with a unique air to it. Her eyes narrowed slightly, as though she was extremely happy.

Xia Yu looked at the girl, her eyes filled with tears.

She had been reborn, but she still couldn't see her mother. She no longer had a chance … Since she was reborn, why not let her go back to that time? She would stay by her mother's side. She hadn't even seen her mother's face since she was brought to the Xia family. She only saw the cold coffin when she was buried and knew that her mother had died of illness.

Xia Yu held the photo in her hands carefully. This time, she didn't want to miss anything.

Gong Qin looked at Xia Yu from the corner of her eyes. He could not help but pause for a moment. It turned out that … Xia Yu would also do the same. Under her fully guarded appearance, she was extremely weak. The girl in the photo was gentle and looked very similar to Xia Yu. It seemed that she was her mother.

Gong Qin did not know much about Xia Yu, but he had heard that her mother died of an illness.

Just like his father, he had lost his father long ago, so he could understand what he was feeling now.

Gong Qin's body moved slightly, he extended his hand out and placed it on Xia Yu's head, gently caressing it, "Let's go."

Xia Yu's body froze. She was currently squatting down, but Gong Qin was standing beside her, gently touching her hair. She raised her head and looked up at Gong Qin.

"The dead will not return, but she will be very happy if you think so much about her."

"That's right..." Probably.

Xia Yu looked at the photo, and touched the face in the photo one last time. Then, she solemnly put it away and stood up. "Let's go."

Many things had happened that day, as if their relationship had also changed.
