Sheng Yize gave no explanation after that and left in a hurry, making An Xiaxia feel rather embarrassed .
She lowered her little head and was disheartened .
Su Xiaomo came to her rescue and consoled her . “Don’t worry . It must be something urgent . Come, we can have fun ourselves!”
She passed An Xiaxia the microphone and gestured at Chi Yuanfeng, asking him to pick a song .
However, An Xiaxia was in no mood for fun now . She smiled bitterly and waved Su Xiaomo off . “You guys go on… I’ll take Dearie back now . ”
Su Xiaomo sighed, knowing that she must feel awful right now . “Alright . ”
An Xiaxia held Dearie Sheng by his hand and led him out of the karaoke pub .

Dearie Sheng was a very bright child and could tell that An Xiaxia wasn’t quite herself . Hence, he obediently kept his silence and let An Xiaxia take them back home in a taxi .
The car stopped outside the villa estate and the two walked in holding hands . The sky was gloomy . Before long, it began to snow .
The two trudged on . When they almost reached their house, Dearie Sheng ran for the door, jumping up the stairs two steps at a time . He then slipped and almost fell off the stairs .
An Xiaxia was shocked . She caught him in time, but sprained her own ankle!
“Ssss —” She drew in a painful breath . Dearie Sheng was bewildered as well . Blinking, he asked, “Hey, Ugly Xiaxia, are you hurt?”
An Xiaxia shook her head, feeling worn out . She hobbled into the house, then went back to her room, paying no attention to anything else .
She threw herself down on the soft bed, still nagged by that frustrating idea in her head .

Dearie Sheng paced up and down outside her room for quite some time before going in . He then said in a cocky tone, “Hey, is your foot alright? Do I need to call the family doctor? And… are you hungry? We can get some takeout . ”
He actually liked An Xiaxia a lot . He called her ugly all the time only because he thought she had stolen his brother .
Moreover, An Xiaxia had sprained her ankle trying to help him… Dearie Sheng felt rather sorry about that .
“Hm… Dearie, could you not talk to me for a while, please? I need some time on my own,” said An Xiaxia in a dejected voice .
Dearie Sheng pursed his lips . “I see… Call me when you’re hungry, then!”
“Alright . ”
The room was frighteningly quiet after Dearie Sheng left . An Xiaxia sat down by the French window with a pillow in her arms .
Outside, the snow fell softly and the view was bleak .

Her phone rang with its pleasant ringtone and An Xiaxia picked it up in bewilderment . Li Fanxing’s graceful and sweet voice rang out on the other end .
“An Xiaxia, are you in pain yet? Like I said, as soon as Sheng Yize’s childhood sweetheart comes back, you’re nothing to him!”
An Xiaxia gritted her teeth . “What do you mean?”
Could it be… that the girl he had been searching for had shown up?
“Beg me and I might just tell you . ” Li Fanxing smiled, her pretty eyes filled with malice .
An Xiaxia knew she was doing it on purpose . She simply hung up and ignored the woman .
She would wait for Sheng Yize and his own explanation .
Obviously, Li Fanxing wouldn’t let it drop just like that . She then sent An Xiaxia a message .
It contained a single photo .
A pretty girl with delicate features in a white sweater was smiling at the camera . Next to her was the tall Sheng Yize .
The two looked so right together .
She had never seen Sheng Yize with such a gentle look on his face before .
Outside, the heavy snow was still falling . With the central heating on, the room was as warm as a spring day .
However, An Xiaxia felt chilled to the bone .
She held the pillow tighter, her bright black eyes filled with sorrow .
His favorite childhood sweetheart was back… What should she do now?
