If only she had been born earlier, she could have been with Brother Yang sooner, without so much time between them.

The gap between them wouldn’t be so large, and there wouldn’t be so many obstacles.

She and Brother Yang were powerless to change it, and could only accept this fate.

Even though the gap between them is vast, she will never give up! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Tianxin, I don’t despise you; I’m just afraid I’m not good enough for you..." Ziyang said humbly.

His identity, age, all these differences constantly reminded him.

He dared not get close to her, yet he wanted to be near her so much.

In the end, he couldn’t help but approach her, even if it meant he might ultimately lose her...

"I just want to know, do you really like me?" Tianxin looked up, her big eyes filled with tears, staring at him.

If he didn’t give her an answer she was satisfied with, she would keep staring at him!

"I’m serious!" Ziyang lifted his hand to gently wipe her tears and said passionately, "Tianxin, do you know how much courage I need to be with you? I keep telling myself I can’t be with you, but in the end... I am defeated by my own heart, which only thinks of you!"

He placed her hand over his heart, letting her feel his heartbeat.

Feeling his heartbeat, Tianxin couldn’t hold back her tears.

"Brother Yang, even if I die, I will become a ghost that clings to you! I won’t let you go in this lifetime!" Tianxin threw herself into his arms, crying in gratitude.

Ziyang held her tight, his eyes red with emotion.

He had been through so much pain before, and the heavens saved the best for him.

That’s Tianxin!

To him, Tianxin is the best treasure. Having her surpasses everything else, he can forgive all the suffering; it is all worthwhile.

"Brother Yang, shall we go out to eat later? It’s been so long since we ate together." Tianxin happily played with bubbles; the bathtub was full of them.

"Okay," Ziyang agreed.

"Mom seems not to have heard us; she didn’t ask me anything." Tianxin suddenly said, recalling the most crucial matter.

"Didn’t ask you?" Ziyang frowned.

"Hmm!"

"That’s good!" Ziyang smiled but didn’t feel as reassured as he sounded.

The lady not asking anything proves that she already knows and has guessed the situation at hand.

She’s just waiting for him to confess or to catch them!

"Mom didn’t hear us; we can safely go out to play together!"

"Hmm." But it depended on whether the lady gave them this opportunity.

When Tianxin finished her bath, it was already dark outside.

Ziyang took her to the restaurant to eat, ordering many of the dishes she loved.

Tianxin also called her dad, saying she wouldn’t be home for dinner.

She wanted to eat delicious food out with Brother Yang!

Without waiting for her dad to speak, she immediately hung up, lest her mom find out and call her back.

After the call, Tianxin ate with peace of mind and fed Ziyang.

"Brother Yang, eat!" she pouted, acting coy.

Naughtily, she picked up a piece of oily fatty meat and fed it to Ziyang.

Ziyang didn’t hesitate and ate the fatty meat she fed him in one bite.

"Did you really eat it?" Tianxin blinked, watching Ziyang chew and swallow the fatty meat.

That’s fatty meat; how could Brother Yang eat it...

"It’s delicious!" Ziyang smiled. No matter what she fed him, he found it delicious and didn’t want to disappoint her.
