The man repeated the name and soon realized who she was.

“Is she that important to you?” The man smiled.

“What do you mean?” Chu Ningyi leaned aside to look at him. The phone in his glove compartment in front kept on ringing but he did not answer the call.

The man took some time to choose his words before he finally spoke. “You’re afraid that she’d find out about the part of your past that you’ve tried so hard to avoid because you care about her. It seems that she’s really important to you, otherwise...” The man explained and pulled out his phone from his pocket to look for a few military uniform pictures. He then showed it to Chu Ningyi and watched his reaction.

Chu Ningyi looked down but only frowned.

“See, you don’t feel anything,” The man said and put his phone away. “Ningyi, as your psychologist, I don’t think I can help you with the matters of your heart. Furthermore, you don’t need me. Out of all of the patients I’ve had, your self-control is the best.”

The man soon left the car.

Chu Ningyi pressed his hand on the steering wheel. When had Shui Anluo become so important to him?

She was so important that he was afraid that she would find out about his past.

“Ningyi?”

Just when Chu Ningyi had decided to go home, Yuan Jiayi’s voice¹ suddenly called out to him. Chu Ningyi frowned and got down from the car.

A nurse had pushed Yuan Jiayi downstairs. She was currently sitting in her wheelchair and staring at him with a pale look on her face.

“I saw your car from upstairs. I thought I was seeing things. Why don’t you come up since you’re already here?” Yuan Jiayi suggested in a gentle voice and asked the young nurse to leave.

Chu Ningyi shook his head. “It’s nothing, I’m here to see Qiao Bei,” said Chu Ningyi as he pushed Yuan Jiayi to a small seat and sat down.

Yuan Jiayi was shaken. “You’re...” Qiao Bei was his psychologist. The only people who knew about this were the members of the Chu family, Chu Ningyi’s three best friends, and her.

Chu Ningyi leaned back on his seat and looked up into the night sky. “I’m fine.”

Yuan Jiayi placed one hand on his thigh and soothingly urged him. “Ningyi, let the past stay in the past. My father’s spirit won’t want to see you like this.”

Chu Ningyi looked down at her and Yuan Jiayi smiled.

Shui Anluo saw the pair not too far away when she got down from the car. Chu Ningyi had his head down and Yuan Jiayi was looking up at him. She could not see Chu Ningyi who had his back against her but she saw the smile on the corners of Yuan Jiayi’s face.

Yuan Jiayi looked up and locked eyes with Shui Anluo. A radiant light flashed across her eyes but she quickly lowered her head as if she never noticed Shui Anluo at all.

“Ningyi, take me back to the ward, it’s getting a little cold,” Yuan Jiayi said and gripped onto her clothes.

Shui Anluo watched Chu Ningyi stand up and push Yuan Jiayi’s wheelchair inside.

She clenched her fists again and restrained herself from rushing forward to question him why he was here. She did not have the right nor the privilege.

“A former girlfriend and the daughter of his savior too. Indeed, he still can’t let it go.” An elegant voice chimed in.

Shui Anluo abruptly turned around and stared at the man next to her. It was the man amongst the reporters who had both harmed her and helped her that day. Perhaps his objective was to help her because the matter had been settled after Chu Ningyi had given that answer. It was that man who had given Chu Ningyi the opportunity to give that answer in the first place.

Shui Anluo turned away. She did not wish to have any further interactions with the man. She only wants to go home now.
