Back in her room, Meng Wan took a box out of the closet.
The box wasn't very big. It was almost lost at the Tang family's house, but Butler Chen brought it to her, saying that it was found when the Tang family was doing a big clean-up.
The box was just an ordinary cookie box, and the contents inside weren't valuable. I found it when I was still living in a small alley, but seeing it again brought back a lot of memories.
She opened the box, which contained a jumble of photos, but mostly red envelopes, each with a single character written on it: Qi.
That was Tang Qi's handwriting.
As if to make his presence known, he would always write his name on the red envelope he gave Meng Wan every year. This has been the case ever since she can remember.

Long-forgotten memories surfaced in Meng Wan's mind. She looked at the box for a long time before finally closing it.
