Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Xu Junxi, who stood outside the door, froze. His hand was on the door handle and he had the thought to kick open the door. His childhood friend was actually in love with Ning Qing?

He had no idea.

There was a boundary not to touch a friend’s wife. When did this all occur? His eyes were bloodshot, and he was tempted to enter and pick a fight.

“What? Si Qing, you are too disloyal! We have been friends with Junxi for such a long time, women are just like clothes, you…”

“Xiao Yuan, shut up!” Si Qing was drunk. He stood up to kick Guo Zi’s stool, “Guo Zi, you are talking about me? Aren’t you the same? You already have a wife and kids. Your wife is one of the top socialites of T City, but that day, I saw a picture of Ning Qing hiding in your wallet!”

Guo Zi shattered the alcohol bottle in his hand. He cursed. laughing and crying at the same time, he retorted, “That’s right, I like Ning Qing! I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. She is so pretty and so kind.”

“Still remember the time when my family was not rich. Those rich classmates would stop me at the alleyway and insult me. Once I was beaten up badly, lying on the ground. I sobbed uncontrollably. Ning Qing saw that, she was only 14 then. Wearing a white floral dress, she bent down and gave me a piece of paper. Fluttering her innocent and gentle eyes, she told me, “Big brother, this is for you to wipe your face.” She also said, “Big brother, men shed blood but not tears. Who bullied you? You must learn to be brave and get back up. There will be a day when you chase them away.”

Guo Zi stood up and aggressively grabbed Xiao Yuan by his collar. “After that, I got to know Junxi. Then I knew Junxi liked her. I knew that I did not stand a chance. I only could silently have a crush on her, wishing for her to be happy. But what did Xu Junxi do? He went for that bitch Ning Yao. Is he blind? He let go of such a great girl. Ning Qing, he didn’t want her. I want her, and I want to have her!”

Xiao Yuan was frozen on the spot, “You, you guys…”

“That’s right,” Si Qing said. He was a fashionable and famous man. “Junxi let go of Ning Qing. You know how dirty the entertainment industry is? With that face of hers, how she could go long without a sponsor? It was inevitable that she’d become a man’s plaything sooner or later.

“If that were the case, why did I have to wait? Ah, I also like Ning Qing. There are few men in this world who would not like Ning Qing. My family is rich and powerful. I am not lacking in comparison to Xu Junxi, so I went to find her that day.

“She was playing a minor character in a drama. She had to jump into the water during the winter. She jumped into the water. Her body was soaked. That perverted producer was staring at her figure. She used an old dirty cloth to cover herself and reached out to take the 500 dollars.

“Ah. She received the 500 dollars, and she only brought a packet of instant noodles on the way and went back to the dorms. I waited for one hour to knock the door. I told her that if she were willing, I would make her a star. But, she flatly rejected me. She asked me, ‘The things that you did today, does Junxi know about this?’”

“Haha, Ning Qing was such a foolish girl. Did she not know that at that time, Xu Junxi had gone to America to woo Ning Yao? He was not even concerned about whether she was alive or not.”

“But, I looked into her eyes at that time. Looking at her unfinished instant noodles, I could not open my mouth! Xiao Yuan, how could Xu Junxi live like such a thug? There were so many people that pitied Ning Qing. Why did he not see it during that 3 years? Did he know at all how much we envied him?”

Xu Junxi left the bar in a trance. He found a secluded corner and sat down.

He did not want anyone to see him. He didn’t not know how to face them.

After hearing those words, every word was akin to a slap to the face. He was not bleeding externally, but his heart was bleeding.

What did he do exactly during those 3 years?

Everyone knew of the struggles that Ning Qing faced when she was starting out in the entertainment industry, except for him. All he knew was that she was in a dirty environment, and she must have slept with many men.

But, Ning Qing had stayed clean.

How she endured it ’til today. She was only 18 then, which was a tender age when a woman needed protection.

Where was he then?

Everyone knew that he was fooling around with Ning Yao. He was totally disoriented in her embrace.

Every man on earth saw her, wanted to own her. Only he was such a thug. He’d gotten ahold of her, but then let her go with his own hands.

But for those 3 years, she did have feelings for Lu Shaoming, whom she had a chance meeting with. But if he hadn’t been apart from her for those 3 years, he would have built a loving home with her already. She would smile like she did in the past, and allow him to feel delicate gentleness in the world.

At that time, he was buddies with Mu Yunfan. Their families had been friends for generations, and they grew up together.

But nobody would know that he felt deeply inferior next to Mu Yunfan. Mu Yunfan was better in every aspect compared to him. He was the prince of T city. Every time he stood beside Mu Yunfan, he felt like a supporting character.

Mu Yunfan treated Ning Qing very well, just like a brother would treat his younger sister. Mu Yunfan was extremely caring. Xu Junxi was envious; he was insecure.

Upon hearing that Ning Qing had gone into Mu Yunfan’s bed, he felt his world collapse. He could only cower in fear. He did not dare question it. He was scared of being embarrassed, and even more afraid that others would mock him.

That sense of inferiority, made him not want Ning Qing anymore.

And just like that, Ning Yao’s admiration of him satisfied his vanity. With one wrong step, he walked himself into a prison and had no way to return.

He was absent during the years Ning Qing needed his help the most. He had really lost his grip on her.

Ning Qing was right, it was his own hands that pushed her away to another man.

The next morning, Ning Qing left for school.

The school regained its peace. Xu Lin was expelled from school due to her malicious intent, and everyone pitied kind little Ning Qing. She found a stack of notes left for under her desk, all filled with encouragement and cheer.

Ning Qing was touched.

She had her lunch in the canteen, and she met Lin Xuemei on the way there. “Xuemei, did you see Shuiling? I went to her class to search for her. Others said she’d already left.”

Ning Qing wanted to thank Yin Shuiling.

“That’s right. Didn’t you know that Shuiling goes to a nearby street every afternoon to draw?”

Ning Qing found the street nearby. It was under the bridge, and Yin Shuiling was seated on a small stool with a tiny easel in front of her and a pencil in her hand. She was drawing.

Seated in front of her was a benevolent aunty. The woman sat formally, and she looked like she was getting her portrait drawn for the first time. She tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and she was reserved.

“Aunty, smile naturally.” Yin Shuiling used her pencil to point to her own crimson lips. She said with a charming voice, “Aunty, you look to be around your 40s. You look so young. No matter how I draw, you’ll look good.”

That aunty was happy upon hearing her words. Her nervous feelings were gone, and she said, “Young lady, your words are so sweet; I am turning 50 soon!”

Ning Qing saw the duo communicating with one another, and then the lady followed with a natural pose, with Yin Shuiling focusing solely on drawing.

Many people had gathered to watch. Everyone commented while observing her. She was such a great artist.

Ning Qing stopped in her tracks from a distance of 5 or 6 meters away, Shui Ling was dressed in a grey t shirt today, with a black vest coupled with a cap. She was dressed casually, and had a bohemian vibe.

Yin Shuiling had her legs straight. Her delicate hand professionally used her pencil to sketch, and her porcelain face lacked its usual coldness; it had been replaced by the fire of youth.

Ning Qing felt sentimental. The daughter of the previously prestigious Yin family, the princess of T city, used to be arrogant to everyone. Now she was left to draw on the streets.

But Ning Qing knew that Shuiling lived well for these past 3 years.

She always thought of Shuiling travelling solo in England over the span of 3 years, only stopping when there was a picturesque scene.

With a backpack and a pencil, she allowed herself to live independently and care freely.

She was already living the best way she could, to the best of her best abilities.

She did not lose a sense of herself. She still looked incredibly beautiful. She lived under the sunshine, and her innate stubbornness and arrogance was still present in her bones.

Yin Shuiling finished her drawing. The lady received the drawing and smiled. She took a 100 dollar note and passed it to Yin Shuiling. She praised her saying, “Yo, young lady, your drawing is better than a coloured photograph!”

“Aunty, thank you for your praise, please recommend me to your friends and family!” Yin Shuiling curled her lips into a smile, and she was grinning happily like a rose blooming in sunshine.

“Sure, sure!” The lady left happily.

Yin Shuiling had her next client, he was a man in his 20s.The man sat on the stool and his eyes were fixed on her.

He had feelings for her.

Yin Shuiling glanced at him with a smile to her lips, “Hi, handsome man. Please pose suavely.”

That handsome man saw Yin Shuiling being so passionate, he turned sideways and lowered his gaze. One hand cupped his fringe. He was posing like a depressed youth.

“Ha… haha…” The passers-by were tickled by his funny pose. “Young man, are you using the methods from the 90s to court a girl? This is not in fashion now!”

Yin Shuiling had a smile on her lips. Although she was smiling, her beautiful eyes were somewhat cold.

She was preparing to draw, “Leave, get out of here!” 7 or 8 bodyguards rushed in, and chased the passers-by away. A luxury sedan stopped in front of them.

The driver opened the door, and she could see a middle aged man together with a sexy secretary sitting in the backseat.

Ning Qing had one look at them and knew they were here to make a ruckus. She wanted to step forward, but she was stopped by the bodyguards. Ning Qing knew that Yin Shuiling was proud enough that she wouldn’t want her to appear now. She could only silently observe her surroundings. She clutched her phone tightly. If they caused any trouble, she would call the police.

Passers-by and that handsome boy were cordoned off to a far location. They were discussing something passionately. Yin Shuiling did not seem surprised, she continued sitting. She looked directly at the old boss and said plainly, “Old Boss, I am drawing to earn a living. You chased my clients away. What is the meaning behind this?”

That old boss looked her greedily; he had yet to meet such a beauty.

“Miss Yin, how much can you earn from drawing for these poor people daily? I am helping you by chasing them away. Why don’t you make a drawing for me? I will give twenty thousand dollars.”

“Alright,” Yin Shuiling smiled lightly. “You can pose now.”

The boss gave the sexy secretary a look and the secretary immediately gave a coy smile. Her hands on his zipper, she slowly bent down.

Ning Qing and the passers-by were quite some distance away and could not see well, but Ning Qing knew that this couldn’t be good.

The old boss enjoyed looking at Yin Shuiling. While squinting, he used his tongue to lick his lips and looked at Yin Shuiling’s figure from top to bottom.

He wanted to see the reaction of the former enchantress of T city.

Yin Shuiling did not have any reaction. She looked at the disgusting scene in front of her, elegantly took up her pen, and with a few strokes, swiftly finished her drawing.

“I am done.”

The old boss took two hundred dollar notes and smiled sultrily, “You come here personally, you pass me the work. I will give you the money.”

Yin Shuiling did not reject him. She stood up and shuffled her feet towards the vehicle.

The boss violently pushed the secretary away, lifted his trousers, and received the drawing from Yin Shuiling. He commented with a click of his lips, “Miss Yin, thinking about your arrogance back then, I never thought that you would end up in this state today. You could actually draw this drawing without feeling insulted.”

“Stop spouting nonsense. Hand over the money.”

The old boss placed two hundred dollar notes in her hand.

Yin Shuiling held out her hand to accept it.

But the old boss would not let go of the note. He lowered his head and laughed viciously. “Miss Yin, you are actually concerned over a mere twenty thousand dollars now? How about this: You follow me and I will provide for you.

Yin Shuiling had a smile on her lips. She bent down and advanced towards the man.

The old boss had a whiff of her girly scent, which was like the dew of roses. She was undoubtedly charming.

He swallowed his saliva, and wanted to reach out to hug Yin Shuiling.

“You want to provide for me? Why don’t you take a look in the mirror? I provide a free drawing for you just now. You are naturally soft and short. I suggest you to take your money to go treat your illness.”

Yin Shuiling grabbed the two hundred dollar notes and turned to leave.

The old boss was furious. He got out of the car and bellowed at her, “Yin Shuiling, do you still think that you are the precious daughter of the Yin family? You pretend to be conceited and pure in front of me? Even if others do not know, I know that you are an toy that others have played with. I know that you had an abortion when you were only 18!”

Yin Shuiling stopped in her tracks but did not have any reaction. Then she turned to leave.

The old boss who she ignored was triggered even further. He ran forward and grabbed Yin Shuiling’s tiny waist with one hand. “I try to give you some honour but you reject me! I will drag you into the car. I will play with you however I want!”

Yin Shuiling was trapped. Her eyes were disgusted and cold. Her lips curling up, she thought of a plan.

At this moment, “Let go of her!”

A low male voice rang through the air.

The passers-by instinctively made a path. His grey v-necked fleece pullover appeared from a black utility vehicle.

The man’s handsome features were delicate as flowing water. His vibe was elegant and warm. Only he had the deep mesmerizing shining eyes that could not be described with mere worldly terms.
