Ye Yixia was a very important person to Gong Qin, a person that she would never forget. That was the reason why he would come to her grave to worship her on this day every year. No one could replace Ye Yixia.

Understanding this, Xia Yu's eyes drooped slightly, showing signs of being injured.

A faint scent of tobacco and grass came from Gong Qin's body. It was his unique scent, one that was ice-cold and indifferent.

"Gong Qin..."

"Why?" Gong Qin was a little surprised, he felt that Xia Yu was suddenly so quiet in his embrace, and couldn't help but reach out to stroke Xia Yu's hair.

"Nothing, just …" "Let me hold him for a while …"

Xia Yu's low voice sounded depressed. She hugged Gong Qin tightly, as if this was the only way to prevent him from leaving. Gong Qin was startled, and also hugged Xia Yu tightly.

In a place where she couldn't see, Gong Qin's eyes drooped slightly as a dark look surfaced in them.

There were some things that could not be revealed to Xia Yu yet, at least for now …

"Let's go. The night is already cold." Gong Qin said as he nodded his head and walked over.

At night.

Gong Qin leaned against the chair, his gaze fell onto the calendar and used a red pen to draw an obvious circle. After looking at it for a long time, he reached out to tear off the calendar on the page and threw it into the trash.

"Ye Yixia."

Gong Qin closed his eyes, the painful memories of that time were still vivid in his mind.

The towering flames made it difficult for anyone to get close to them. And inside …. There was still Ye Yixia.

"Ye Yixia! Ye Yixia! " Gong Qin's eyes widened, he wanted to rush over, his face was filled with fear, afraid that the person inside would already be burnt. No! She was still inside, while Yi Xia was still inside … Hurry and save her! "

"There are still people inside!"

The firemen shouted impatiently, and a few of them quickly charged in.

At that moment, an explosion resounded through the world. The instant the explosion lit up the faces of everyone present, their expressions of shock and horror were clearly reflected in their eyes. In Gong Qin's eyes, the raging flames had already burned everything and even the villa had collapsed.

No ….

Don't die... Ye Yixia!

No!

He yelled out with all his might, unable to do anything against the scorching heat. He was actually powerless, and could only watch as the people inside were burned to ashes.

"The identity of the victim has been confirmed. She is the young miss of the Ye family, Ye Yixia."

After two days of handling, he finally found a trace of it in a pile of ashes.

When the news reached Gong Qin's ears, Gong Qin's pupils constricted. He could not help but feel fear. Before he even had the chance to protect her, she had already told him that Ye Yixia was dead.

How is this possible!?

"Ye Yixia will not die! She promised me that she would live longer than anyone else! " It was the first time Gong Qin cried, but no matter how he shouted, he was already dead. In front of him was a cold, charred corpse, covered with white cloth, and the air was filled with an unpleasant odor. Gong Qin looked at the person in front of him in a daze, his expression calm.

"She is already dead, you should restrain your grief." Someone advised.

Gong Qin walked over step by step, and when he got closer to the corpse, his hands trembled as he tried to lift the white cloth.

He wanted to see with his own eyes why that beautiful woman was lying here. She was obviously talking to him the day before, and now she was lying here, and she would never speak again.

"Ye Yixia..."

"It's better not to look at it." Someone walked over to stop Gong Qin and shook his head. The corpse was burnt to a crisp and looked extremely sinister.

Gong Qin's actions paused for a bit, but he still insisted on pulling the white cloth away.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master, let her rest in peace …"

The white cloth trembled, but it was not lifted, only revealing a corner. It was a bracelet on the charred surface, the silver bracelet had also turned black, but it was smooth and round. One could tell that it was a bracelet.

Gong Qin's gaze landed on the bracelet. The defensive line in his heart had collapsed, and even the last sliver of hope had been destroyed.

It wasn't Ye Yixia's fault.

He had given her that bracelet.

"Why... Why … Ye Yixia... "

… ….

"Gong Qin, if I disappear one day, will you miss me?" A clear voice resounded beside his ears. Ye Yixia's gentle face, bright and beautiful smile, and eyes narrowed, revealed the most perfect out of all of her memories.

Her skin was white in the sun, and her chestnut hair looked like a doll's.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm just asking, if one day I disappear from your life, what will happen to you?"

"I'm looking for you."

Gong Qin lifted his eyes and looked at Ye Yixia, his indifferent gaze not changing at all.

"Can't find me? "No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find me..." Ye Yixia moved closer to Gong Qin, bringing his face closer to his face, "If that's the case, then you have to live well, and even share with me." She spoke very earnestly, and when she said these words, her eyes flashed with sadness. Of course, she hid this sadness very deeply, not revealing even the slightest trace.

Gong Qin also did not see the flash of light in her eyes. Instead, he extended his hand and touched the center of her brows, pushing her face away.

"If I can't find you, I'll keep searching …"

"You will never leave my side." The corner of Gong Qin's mouth curled up, revealing a gentle smile. This kind of gentle smile, could only be revealed towards Ye Yixia.

Ye Yixia looked at him blankly, and muttered: "Idiot."

At that time, the joke was the same as the joke of parting, and such a tragic event had not even happened in a few days. Gong Qin remained silent, becoming colder and colder, no one was able to understand his thoughts.

He isolated himself from the others. He knew that he would never open his heart to others again, accepting them as if they were Ye Yixia.

But now …

Gong Qin opened his eyes and fine beads of cold sweat covered his forehead.

The memories of that time were still vivid in his mind.

"Ye Yixia." Gong Qin stretched out his hand and looked at his own hand. His bright wedding ring was shining under the light, and after seeing it, he felt relieved, as if his heart was at peace.

Gong Qin moved his body, his neck was already sore, probably because he had just fallen into a short sleep.

He got up and was about to leave the study, but the moment he stood up, the cell phone on the table vibrated. In the quiet space, there was a sudden vibration.

The caller ID was an unfamiliar number.

Gong Qin picked up the phone: "Hello."

Who would call him in the middle of the night, and. Very few people knew his number. His private number was usually confidential and there would be no hassle on the phone.

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

Drip, drip, drip. That was the sound of the rainwater washing the place.

"Who?" Gong Qin asked. He didn't know why his heart had turned cold.

"... "No." The voice faded away.

Du, du, du … …

The call ended.

Gong Qin's pupils contracted. That casual voice just now...
