“That day at the karaoke bar, you hid behind me, but later you went to save Lu Ziran, who was covered in blood. That night, I unlocked your phone using my birthday. I was surprised and happy.”

"Also, the day you moved upstairs from me, I saw Meng Beiyan leave you there, and I saw the slap mark on your face. My heart ached for you, for your past... I secretly vowed that I would protect you better in the future."

“I know you’re resistant to a new relationship, so I’ve decided that we can maintain a relationship that’s more than friendship but less than romance. I don’t mind. We can move on to something more when you’ve thought it through.”

He talked for a long time until his voice was almost hoarse.

Ying Qian smiled. She had never heard Chen Wenzhi say so much at once. In all her life, no one had ever summarized what had happened between them so seriously.

As I laughed, tears started falling.

She felt so wronged, so very wronged.

She desperately wanted Chen Wenzhi to appear before her.

She voiced her thoughts, "Chen Wenzhi, I regret it so much. I should have gone back with you. I want to see you so much now, I want to see you so much..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

"Knock knock".

His voice came through the phone: "Open the door."

Ying Qian froze abruptly, ran barefoot to the door, and pushed it open.

Chen Wenzhi shook his phone, his bangs already wet from the rain, making him look like a wet puppy. He said earnestly, "Princess, your wish has been granted."

"Am I dreaming?" She felt like it was all unreal. She pinched her arm and found it hurt. The tears she had managed to hold back burst forth again.

She pounced on him, not caring how wet he was.

Even though her hair, which she had just washed that morning, was wasted, she felt it was all worth it. As long as it's you, anything is worth it.
