Xuxu frowned . “Why? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Jiang Zhuoheng slightly lifted an eyebrow . “Aren’t you inviting me into the room or going to ask me if I would like to join you?”
He would always feel better when he looked at her face .
Everyone said that time would wash away everything, including forgetting a person . But it was all a lie . Or perhaps it was only effective for ‘patients ‘ with ‘mild symptoms ‘ . As for himself, he should be beyond cure .
Even though they met in kindergarten or even if they haven’t met each other in years, every time he saw her he would still feel the same way .
Just by the sight of her affected him, no matter how hard he tried to suppress himself .
Her every frown or a smile had become the deepest longing in his heart .
Occasionally, he would wish that he could capture her expressions with a camera . Then in the deep of the night, when he is alone, he could look at the photo to ease his desire for her .

He had rooted Wen Xuxu in his heart ever since they were kids . But what else could he do now?
He had always questioned himself, why he had to fall so deeply in love with her…
Xuxu playfully pursed her lips . “It would be my pleasure if you would do me the honor . ”
In front of Jiang Zhuoheng, she would act like how she always does in front of her grandfather . She could reveal her real personality without a care in the world .
Jiang Zhuoheng smiled weakly, but he didn’t respond . He sized her up from head to toe and with an affirmative tone, he said, “You’ve gained weight, at least 5 kg . ”
Xuxu glared at him . “Why must you remind me of my sore spot!”
She had indeed gained weight, nearly 6 kg .

Jiang Zhuoheng gave her a fond smile and continued, “You should eat more, then little Third Yan would be chubby and cute . ”
His eyes were twinkling . He seemed sincere and earnest just by the look on his face and in the way he sounded .
Jiang Zhuoheng’s words gently tugged on Xuxu’s heart . Her smile became tender and gentle .
She slightly turned as she gestured inside . “Ah Heng, join us for a meal . ”
Jiang Zhuoheng remained rooted to the spot and declined . “I am…”
A pleasant and sweet voice interrupted him .
“Ah Heng . ”
It startled Xuxu when a tall and slim woman appeared before her . The girl wasn’t extraordinarily beautiful, but her gracefulness had eclipsed her beauty .
She wore a dark wine-red dress with sleeves ending at her elbows, and it seemed that she was wearing a couple-outfit with Jiang Zhuoheng .
Xuxu smiled and nodded . “Miss Hu . ”
Hu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded when she saw Xuxu . She only managed to react after a brief moment . “Hi Xuxu, it has been a while . ”
She wound her arm in fluid motion around Jiang Zhuoheng’s arm .
Xuxu briefly glanced at their interlinked arms . A mixture of complicated emotions surged in her heart, but her facial expression remained impassive . “Yeah . ”
She had no idea what her feelings were . It could be sorrow or just an overwhelming feeling .
She wasn’t greedy, but she felt that her childhood friend Ah Heng seemed to drift away from her .
She knew that eventually, they would lead their own separate lives .
Hu Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around the empty room before looking at Xuxu . “Are you here with Yan Rusheng?”
“Yes, and with my First Aunt too,” Xuxu answered politely . “Would you like to join us?”
Hu Xiaoxiao gently waved her hands . “No thanks . My parents and Ah Heng’s parents are here with us . ”
Xuxu didn’t insist as she had asked her out of courtesy . “Then, perhaps next time . ”
“Sure . ” Hu Xiaoxiao nodded and glanced at Jiang Zhuoheng . “Let’s go, they are waiting for us . ”
