“Let me see what time it is?”

“You don’t need to look at the time. I’ve set an alarm that will ring at 7.30. Go back to sleep for a while longer.” Mo Han moved his head down and rubbed it against her neck.

“What time did I fall asleep last night?”

“You fell asleep quite fast. You’d fallen asleep as you leaned against my chest.” Mo Han replied quietly.

“Why did you let me sleep in your room?”

Mo Han still had his eyes closed as he breathed out a long breath with his nose. “I wanted to sleep with you.”

The alarm that Mo Han had set by the bed started to ring and Xia Qingyi pushed Mo Han a little. “Hey… it’s time to wake up.”

Mo Han furrowed his eyebrows as he stretched over and turned off the alarm. After that, he went back and slept against Xia Qingyi’s neck with his head slanted. Xia Qingyi poked his head with her finger as she laughed, “Are you like that when you wake up every morning?”

“No. It’s just that it suddenly feels… as if sleep is a very comfortable thing with you by my side.”

“What do you mean when I’m by your side? Sleeping is always a very comfortable thing.” Xia Qingyi pushed Mo Han’s heavy head that was resting against her neck as she said loudly, “Get up now. You need to go to work and I need to go to school.”

Mo Han finally opened his eyes for real as he slightly eased his grip on Xia Qingyi’s hand that he had been hugging. He squinted as he looked at Xia Qingyi. “Let’s have a morning kiss.”

She said, “But… I haven’t brushed my teeth.

Mo Han pushed her down again, suddenly kissing her lips. The thing he loved most was to kiss Xia Qingyi’s lower lip, which was soft like cotton. He would always get the urge to laugh whenever he saw her close her eyes as he could not help but bite her lower lips.

He secretly felt for her hand on the bed and intertwined their fingers together as his other hand was on the top of her head, holding it down. His tongue slipped into her mouth as he explored every corner of her mouth. His tongue lingered with hers without holding back. They stopped only when they had kissed once again until she could no longer breathe with her face red.

When he withdrew from her mouth, Xia Qingyi’s eyes were watery and dazed, as she kept panting. Mo Han moved to kiss her ear again and he slowly moved down to kiss her neck. He sucked a spot on her neck hard, leaving his own mark on it. Xia Qingyi furrowed her eyebrows from the pain, yet she could not fight back as she had lost of all her energy from being kissed by Mo Han.

Mo Han continued to kiss her, moving to kiss her lips again after kissing her neck. The morning kiss had long been turned into something else.

Mo Han was the first to stop as he let go of Xia Qingyi’s slightly swollen lips. He quietly panted above her, before he let go of her hand and lay next to her.

“We can’t continue kissing anymore. If we do, I’m afraid something bad will happen.”

It was only then that Xia Qingyi finally noticed that something near her legs was wrong. Her already red face instantly became redder, though before she could say anything, Mo Han had already gotten up from the bed with his back to her.

“I’ll go wash myself up first. You should get out of bed too.”

Xia Qingyi buried her face into the blanket. She took a while to calm down before she finally lifted her head and got out of bed to wash up.

If it went according to her expected schedule, Xia Qingyi could have rushed to school before 8.30 to begin her first lesson of the day. She would have lunch with her schoolmates, then go on to finish her afternoon lessons. After that, she might go to Mo Han’s law firm by herself, or wait for a while in school for Mo Han to come and fetch her for dinner.

Xia Qingyi had never thought about changing that. It was probably quite nice that she could continue living like this in the future. She had a few friends now, and though she could not say that they were close friends, at least she would not be in school alone. She had Mo Han. Despite the fact that there were still many uncertainties between them, they were still at least living rather peacefully and they could slowly resolve the many problems that would arise in the future.

She could almost predict the life that she would have 10 years later. Everyday would be like this. Despite so, she felt that this was pretty good too. It seemed like she would be alright with anything as long as she had Mo Han with her, a few friends that she could chat with, and a mother that would miss her.

However, she did not reach school before 8.30 A.M that day to attend her first lesson of the day.

The reality had only a small deviation to what she had expected, yet it was this small deviation that had cause her to be further away from reach of the life that she had expected.

Xia Qingyi was a little dazed on the public bus that day, having gotten off at the wrong stop. It was only after she had gotten off the bus that she realized that she was in a place that she did not know at all.

She sighed as a result, ready to walk to the opposite side of the road to wait for the public bus that was going back so that she could go back to her school.

She crossed the road and walked towards the other side of the road before she stood under the bus stand to wait for the arrival of the bus together with the people around her.

She had been looking forward, trying to find any hint of the public bus when a hand suddenly grabbed her from behind. Xia Qingyi looked behind her to see an unknown man. He had average looks, was not too tall, and had a skinnier build despite having muscles. He was currently looking very nervous as he looked at her.

“Why are you here?” The man asked her as he lowered his voice.

Xia Qingyi was thinking, wanting to tell him that she did not know him.

However, that man looked around them, as if he was watching out for something before he pulled her away from the bus stop.

Xia Qingyi did not stop him. Her intuition was telling that this man might be related to the man that had followed her for a long time last night. Besides, it was broad daylight now and there were many people around them. He could not possible do anything to her.

That man held onto her as he dragged her into a quiet alley. He only let go of her after seeing that there were not too many people around them. He stood beside her, with about a two-step distance between them. “Third Young Master went to find you last night, didn’t he?”

Xia Qingyi thought that the Third Young Master that he had mentioned was probably the man that had spoke to her in the dark.

“He doesn’t have any ill intentions, actually. I know you don’t like to see him now, but he only went to find you in this critical juncture because he cares about you. Please don’t blame him.” he seemed to be explaining the actions of that man that had appeared last night.

“Something happened to Master Dong and Boss had gotten into some trouble recently. Without Boss, those id*ots under Liu Ge might come and cause some trouble for you, so you should try to go out less recently. You should go home earlier at night. It’ll be best if you could reach the place you’re staying at before 9 P.M. Be more cautious in the future and protect yourself, got it? If there’s no other way, then go to the police, got it?”

He noticed that she had not spoken at all. Her gaze was different from before as well. It had become very gentle and did not have any aggression at all, compared to the past. He asked confusedly, “What’s wrong… with you?”

Xia Qingyi knew that this person in front of her probably knew her in the past. There was no way she could deceive someone that was impossible to be deceived and she decided to say the truth, “I… can’t remember you.”

He appeared to be a little surprised, as his eyes looked down to think for a while and spoke to himself, “You lost your memory… no wonder…” he asked again, “Did you forget everyone? Even Third Young Master?”

Xia Qingyi nodded her head.

He said as he looked up, “It’s good that you’ve forgotten… there’s actually not much that you must remember… it’ll be okay as long as you’re living well now…”

It seemed as if almost everyone did not really want her to know what had happened in the past.

This man in front of her appeared to have sunk into what had happened in the past. He looked a little sad after knowing that she could not remember anything. He said to her, though it also seemed like he was speaking to himself, “Back then… actually… many of us owe you… owe Xiao Ye… an apology.

“I’m actually relieved now that you can’t remember anything. There isn’t an ending that is more perfect than this. However, I feel as if the stone in my heart is becoming heavier. It’s probably something that all of us won’t forget for the rest of our lives.”

Xia Qingyi watched as he lowered his head. For unknown reasons, she suddenly felt very sad, as if there was a corner of her heart crying.

“It will be Xiao Ye’s death anniversary in a few months. We probably won’t be able to go. Please help me apologize to him if you’re going to see Xiao Ye. Thank you.”

He stopped speaking as he smiled at Xia Qingyi after finishing his words. “I’ll be off then… Take good care of yourself.”

Xia Qingyi watched as he left, like she had watched that man’s back view last night.

She stood in the light, watching as they stepped into the darkness and towards a place that was getting further and further away from her. However, she did not chase after him.

She should go take a look at Xiao Ye’s grave, she thought. It was no longer important whether or not she could regain her memories. All she felt was that she should go visit her. Her past self would also wish for her to do this.

As a result, she gave up on attending her lessons for the day. She booked an air ticket to A City and called Mo Han to tell him that he did not need to come and fetch her tonight, that she could probably reach home later.

Mo Han did not ask for the reason as he merely told her to be more careful on her way back.

She boarded the flight to A City at 11 A.M and landed at A City at 1.37 P.M.

She wanted to go to Jian Shi Cemetery to take a look at Xiao Ye’s grave and come back.

The moment her feet touched the floor after taking a taxi from the airport to the entrance of Jian Shi Cemetery, she felt a very strong sense of familiarity. Her heart seemed to have felt something as it started to pound nonstop.

She had definitely come here before. Xia Qingyi was very sure that she had definitely come here before.

The sign that said “Jian Shi Cemetery” at the entrance were very simple. It seemed like this place was a cemetery with a very long history as the paint on the words of the signboard had already faded. The entrance was very quiet, though it did not seem too gloomy. There were also a few small shops around the cemetery. The entire street was very quiet, though it was probably because it was in the early afternoon that there were not too many people.

She did not go in immediately, as her eyes darted around before they landed on a bar not far away from the cemetery.

She could not control her feet as she slowly walked over.

“I’m sorry, Miss, but this shop is about to close for good soon. We’re currently preparing to clear away the things, so please go to another place.” A man that was wearing a black singlet and had his arms exposed told her while bowing, after having carried some things out from inside.
