You are like a white aurora, gathering all the light between heaven and earth, and are about to disappear in front of my eyes, but I want to use my greatest strength to keep you. Because in this world, there will never be another you, because you are unique...

In Chinese class.
Xia Ying was carefully copying the notes on the blackboard. At this moment, the phone in her pocket began to vibrate violently. Xia Ying put down her pen and looked down at the message -
"Tomorrow is the weekend, let's go to the glass greenhouse together." A few simple and clear words.
Just as she was about to reply to the message, she was caught by Gu Yixue. She looked at Xia Ying with a smile, looking sly, so cute: "Yin Xia Ying..."
Hearing this shout, Xia Ying was stunned.
So scary!
Gu Yixue held her arm clingingly, "Xia Ying, satisfy my curiosity! Such a beautiful phone, and it's the latest model, it must be very expensive. Tell me! Where did you get it? Was it a gift from Senior Ji?"
Before Xia Ying could answer, Gu Yixue continued to talk to herself, "That must be the case. Senior Ji is so handsome, he almost spoils you to the sky! I really envy you so much, he is almost perfect..." Suddenly, Gu Yixue's expression changed immediately, "However, no matter how good he is, he is not as good as my senior Bai Xichen. He is the best in my heart..."
I can’t listen to it anymore!
Xia Ying snatched the phone from her clutches, then lowered her head to reply to the message. A slight smile hung on the corners of her mouth, her cheeks were pink and tender, with an alluring blush.
…
"Happy birthday!" Under the cherry tree, the lights were very dim, but Xia Ying could still feel that he was smiling. The sincere smile on his face was warm and so real.
"A birthday is not complete without a birthday present." After saying that, Xia Ying opened her palm and raised it in front of him, "Hurry up, my birthday present..."
Ji Xingyan smiled and produced a gift box from behind her like a magic trick, with a beautiful lace bow fluttering in the air. The small gift box was so beautifully packed that people didn't want to open it after seeing it.
But Xia Ying took it without even thinking about it and quickly opened it. When she saw what was inside, an expression of joy and surprise appeared on her face at the same time, and she was in disbelief for a moment: "Why did you give me such an expensive thing..."
He gave her a cell phone!
The white phone emitted a white light under the night sky, and the shining screen told Xia Ying that this was real...
Ji Xingyan didn't say anything. She quietly picked up the phone in the gift box and said to her, "It wasn't until today when you disappeared from my sight that I realized that if you suddenly disappeared, I would have no way of knowing where you were immediately..."
"hehe……"
"So, no matter where you are or when, I must know your news immediately. No matter where you are, I must find you..."
"oh……"
"There is only my number in the phone. If I call you, you must answer my call no matter where you are or when. If I send you a message, you must reply to me immediately..."
"You are so domineering!" Xia Ying asked unhappily.
"Because only in this way can I feel that no matter when, you are always by my side and have never left me..."
…
weekend.
The weather is sunny and the rich fragrance in the air is refreshing.
In the glass greenhouse, Xia Ying was taking pictures of the beautiful flowers with the phone he gave her. Her face was filled with happiness, and for a moment, the light pink lace headband in her hair got tangled in the flower vines.
A pair of slender jade-like hands gently undid it.
Xia Ying turned around and smiled.
With a "click", Ji Xingyan's gentle smile immediately appeared on the phone.
Xia Ying proudly raised the phone in her hand, as if to say "Look, I took a picture of you."
Ji Xingyan stroked her long bangs lovingly, and then said, "Don't let the headband get tangled in the vines or cherry trees again. The headband... just once is enough. You must protect the things I gave you."
Xia Ying nodded, and then focused on taking pictures of the flowers in the glass house with her mobile phone.
She looked particularly beautiful when she was serious. She was like a frozen picture in the sea of ​​flowers. Ji Xingyan narrowed her eyes and raised her lips in a beautiful arc.
Xia Ying suddenly turned her head and looked at him: "Has your illness recurred recently? Do you feel any discomfort in your chest? Also, have you eaten on time? Do you feel tired? I don't think I should have agreed to come here with you..."
Ji Xingyan shook his head, his handsome face filled with a gentle smile.
"Really?" Xia Ying asked doubtfully.
Ji Xingyan nodded and smiled again.
“Crack—”
Xia Ying pressed the camera button.
"You look so beautiful when you smile. I was right, you should smile more often." Xia Ying turned the white phone in her hand over to show him, "Such a charming smile..."
"I only smile when I'm with Xia Ying..."
"Why?" Xia Ying asked, and then took the opportunity to take a photo, "Even if I'm not by your side, you should smile more. This will make you feel much better, and your condition will get better..."
"Really?"
Xia Ying nodded hard: "Of course, even if you don't believe what I say, you have to believe the knowledge I read in the book, right?"
Ji Xingyan's smile became more and more intense. He bent down slightly and hugged her in his arms. He took the phone from her hand and whispered in her ear, "Thank you, Xia Ying, thank you for being by my side..."
Then he lowered his head and kissed her cheek softly.
Another "click" sound was heard.
Xia Ying looked bewildered: "Xingyan..."
"Yeah." Ji Xingyan let her go, looked at the photos in the phone with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Xia Ying looked very cute when I kissed her. I don't want anyone else in the world to know how cute Xia Ying is..."
"Well……"
"Xia Ying, if one day I leave you, you must find someone who truly loves and likes you, and that person will love you and take care of you on my behalf..."
When Xia Ying heard this, she also said softly: "I don't want to find someone who likes me anymore. I want to be by your side forever. Because there will never be another you in this world..."
The last class in the afternoon was English class. The English teacher was copying grammar points on the blackboard with his back to the students.
"Xiaoying, Xiaoying..." Gu Yixue pulled the corner of Xia Ying's clothes, "I want to ask you a question..."
Xia Ying turned around and looked at her angrily: "Wait, what the teacher is talking about now is very important."
"Just for a moment, okay? Just for a moment, I won't disturb you anymore..." Gu Yixue requested, her eyes as clear as a mirror.
Xia Ying nodded.
Gu Yixue got her promise, quickly took out two movie tickets from her English book, and looked at Xia Ying with joy. Xia Ying thought Gu Yixue wanted to go to the movies with her, but what Gu Yixue said next made Xia Ying stay there.
"Xia Ying, can you help me make an appointment with Senior Xichen? I want to invite him to watch a movie."
Senior Xichen...
Xia Ying lowered her head and pursed her lips: "Go by yourself."
"Xiaoying..." Gu Yixue was a little angry when she heard Xia Ying say this, "Xia Ying, you are my best friend! Besides, you are the person closest to Senior Xichen in the Student Union, and Senior Xichen likes you very much, too! So, if you go and make an appointment for me, he will definitely not refuse..."
Xia Ying shook her head: "This is your own business, don't drag me into it." Besides, it would be best for her not to appear in front of the seniors right now. Senior Xichen probably doesn't want to see her either!
"Xiaoying, Xiaoying, I know you are the best..." Gu Yixue begged, her big watery eyes seemed to be misty, "Please, Xiaoying..."
"No." Xia Ying interrupted her firmly, "Yixue, if you want to like someone, you have to fight for it yourself, instead of asking me to help you fight for it. I think Senior Xichen will like you!" She smiled brightly, then lowered her head and carefully copied notes.
A few minutes later, Gu Yixue stood at the door of the Student Union Office. She leaned against the door and panted softly, and because she ran too fast, there was a faint blush on her pretty face.
She looked at Bai Xichen steadily.
Bai Xichen slumped over the desk, seemingly sleeping, and had no idea anyone had come in.
Gu Yixue became more and more obsessed with him, with an innocent smile on her face. Senior Xichen was really handsome, even when he was asleep. She tiptoed in and called him softly, "Senior, Senior Xichen..."
Bai Xichen didn't respond.
"Senior Xichen, senior..." She called his name in a louder voice, but Bai Xichen seemed not to hear it at all, lying on the table without moving.
Gu Yixue approached him nervously and gently shook his body with her hands, trying to wake him up. But when she touched his body, the burning temperature emanating from his body made her withdraw her hand.
Can't think about it anymore.
Gu Yixue covered Bai Xichen's forehead with her hand again, and suddenly, she felt the temperature coming from his forehead was about to burn her hand. A thought quickly occupied her mind and nerves - he had a fever.
Suddenly——
She began to shake his body desperately, calling his name loudly: "Senior Xichen, Senior, wake up quickly, come with me to the infirmary, Senior..."
He must have been unconscious for a long time, because no matter how she shook him or called him, he didn't respond at all.
Gu Yixue immediately held Bai Xichen's shoulders helplessly, trying to help him to the infirmary. When she helped the unconscious Bai Xichen to stand up, a piece of white drawing paper flew off the table and fell to the ground.
On the drawing paper, the three words "Yin Xiaying" were written all over the paper...
In the evening, the sun had completely set.
In the school clinic.
Bai Xichen lay quietly on the bed, receiving an IV drip, his pale face devoid of any color. He was breathing very slowly as he slept.
After putting a hot towel on his forehead, Gu Yixiu sat quietly beside the bed and took out two tickets from her pocket for a movie that would be shown tonight.
If he hadn't been invited to the movies, maybe no one would have noticed that he was sick...
If she hadn't discovered that he was sick, how would she have known that Bai Xichen had written Xia Ying's name on a piece of white paper before he fell ill...
Suddenly, Bai Xichen screamed: "Xia Ying, Xia Ying..."
Gu Yixue was so shocked that her hands froze immediately.
"Xia Ying, Xia Ying, don't go..." Bai Xichen's painful mumbling in his sleep made her heart tighten.
He likes her...
Bai Xichen must like Xia Ying...
But Xia Ying...
Gu Yixue shook her head, not daring to believe what she had discovered. She turned to look at Bai Xichen again: "You like her, right? But the person she likes is not you..."
At this moment, Xia Ying's voice rang out in the infirmary.
"Yixue, how are you?" Xia Ying asked anxiously, "You asked your classmates to tell me that you are in the infirmary. Is there anything wrong with you?"
Hearing her voice, Gu Yixue turned around and looked at Xia Ying who was standing at the door, and said in a very low voice: "I'm fine, Xia Ying, the one who's in trouble is him, Senior Xichen."
"What?" Xia Ying didn't quite believe it. She moved forward and asked, "What happened to Senior Xichen?"
"The school doctor said he had a cold and a fever. He hadn't slept or eaten for several days, so he was very weak..." Gu Yixue's voice suddenly became a little cold, "Xia Ying, why did he write your name and even call your name when he was asleep? Yin Xia Ying, tell me, why is this?"
Looking at Yixue's sad eyes, Xia Ying almost didn't know what to say to her.
"Xia Ying, you are my best friend, can you tell me why this happened, please?"
…
"Xia Ying, why is he like this? Xia Ying, he likes you, right? He must like you, right?"
…
"You must know that he likes you, right?"
…
"If it wasn't like this, why would he write your name? Why would he call your name? Why would it become like this? It's all because of you, because of you..." Tears fell madly all over Gu Yixue's face. She grabbed Xia Ying's hand as if she had lost her mind, "Answer me, answer me!"
"Yixue..."
"If you don't answer, it means you know everything... It's all because of you, Yin Xiaying, that he became like this. You are the culprit. It's you who made Senior Xichen like this. It's you..."
"Yixue, I know you like Senior Xichen, but he would do this, I really..."
"Does he know that you like Senior Ji?"
Xia Ying nodded: "I know."
"Xiaoying, he is like this because of you, so you have to help him and me..." Gu Yixue cried silently, tears streaming down her cheeks, "When he recovers, you have to explain it to him clearly..."
"Yixue, what did you say?"
"When he recovers, you need to tell him clearly that he is not the one you like, and ask him to stop suffering so much..." She grabbed Xia Ying's hand and begged, "If you don't agree, I will hate you, I will hate you..."
"Does it have to be like this?" Xia Ying asked, frowning tightly, looking at Bai Xichen all the time, "Does it have to be like this? Yixue, if I don't agree, will you hate me?"
"meeting."
"Okay, I'll help you." Xia Ying said calmly, "Yixue, I'll help you and him, so that he can forget me and accept you..."
After walking out of the infirmary, Xia Ying walked alone on the school path. The cool breeze of the summer night blew across her body. She hugged her trembling shoulders and walked towards the school gate step by step.
What did she just do, what did she say...
Because of her, Senior Xichen fell ill...
Because of her, Gu Yixue almost regarded her as an enemy...
But she also promised Yixue that she would help her. Does that mean she has to go to Bai Xichen and explain everything?
…
"Xia Ying, I don't like seeing you with him. I can't tolerate him being by your side anymore. I don't want to see him again, even for a minute or a second."
…
"There's no reason. I just don't want to see him, and I don't want you to see him."
…
Xia Ying squatted down, curled up into a ball. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know whether she should do it or not. She had clearly promised Ji Xingyan not to see Bai Xichen...
Ji Xingyan...
Gu Yixue...
Bai Xichen...
What do you want Xia Ying to do...
Suddenly, the cell phone rang in Xia Ying's arms, and the three words "Ji Xingyan" kept jumping on the screen.
Xia Ying didn't answer.
However, the phone kept ringing, as if it was Ji Xingyan's warning. If Xia Ying didn't answer the call, the phone would keep ringing until she answered it.
Xia Ying took out her cell phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
"Xia Ying, where are you? Why did you take so long to answer my call?"
"I..." Xia Ying almost cried when she heard Ji Xingyan's familiar voice.
"Xia Ying, raise your head..."
Xia Ying stood up holding her phone and looked forward——
Ji Xingyan was standing in front of her, his deep eyes staring at her. The corners of his mouth curved into a perfect arc, as if he was saying to her, "Xia Ying, come to me"...
As if finding light in the darkness, when she saw him, Xia Ying ran over quickly.
The next moment——
Ji Xingyan opened his arms and let Xia Ying fall into his arms accurately. He hugged her tightly and patted her shoulder gently: "What's wrong? Did someone bully my Xia Ying?"
Xia Ying shook her head and tears flowed at that moment.
"Xia Ying, are you okay?" He asked worriedly, hugging her even tighter. Xia Ying's tears soaked his thin clothes. The hot tears seemed to flow into his body, and his heart couldn't help but ache...
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine..." Xia Ying closed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Xingyan, if... I did something wrong, will you forgive me?"
Hearing this, Ji Xingyan frowned slightly, and he said softly: "Xia Ying, would you do anything wrong? In my heart, everything Xia Ying did was right. Including you leaving me three years ago, including you stopping me from competing with Bai Xichen... Everything you did, I now think, you did it for me, so you won't do anything wrong..."
"I'm talking about if." Xia Ying said stubbornly.
"No ifs..." Ji Xingyan lowered her head and deeply kissed the pink lace headband on her hair, then kissed her forehead, "Xia Ying will not do anything wrong..."
He wanted to reassure her!
"If one day, I do something that you don't want to see, you must forgive me, okay? Xingyan, you must forgive me..."
"Okay, I will definitely forgive you!" Ji Xingyan replied in a low voice, with a smile on her lips as soft as moonlight.
The dim light of evening fell over them.
A strong summer breeze blew by, and the pure white and holy gardenia petals fluttered in the sky, as beautiful and romantic as snow.
One morning a few days later.
The study room of Ji's house.
The morning sun shone in through the large French windows, a brilliant golden color. The room was furnished with a pure black desk and bookcase designed by a famous Italian designer, European-style wallpaper covered the entire wall, four crystal chandeliers hung high in the four corners, and an ivory-white luxurious carpet was laid on the marble floor. Ji Xingyan was standing there, looking at Ji Yelei, who was sitting at the desk like a queen and inviolable.
"Mom, what's the matter with you looking for me so early?" he asked indifferently, with a hint of impatience.
Ji Yelei looked at Ji Xingyan. Her beautiful dark eyes seemed to have a cold light. Suddenly, she smiled gently: "Xingyan, I want to know something. Please tell me."
"What's up?"
"Answer me, are you and Yin Xiaying together?"
"yes."
"Do you like her very much?"
"Yes, I have liked it since I was a child." Looking at her mother, Ji Xingyan lowered her head slightly, "What do you want to know?"
Facing Ji Xingyan's cold expression, Ji Yelei was not angry. She asked again: "Do you know that you are the quasi-heir of Ji's Group?"
"yes."
"In that case, why do you want to be with Yin Xiaying, who has no family background and no connections? Her mother is even the person I hate the most in my life..." Ji Yelei said excitedly, with anger on her beautiful face, "If you stay with her, you will ruin yourself..."
"Really? I think it has nothing to do with each other! Why should the grievances of your previous generation involve our generation?" Ji Xingyan smiled, with a hint of mockery in his smile.
"Anyway, you can't be with her."
"Are you going to stop me?"
"That's right, Xingyan, I'm your mother, I have the power to stop you from doing anything. That girl is a troublemaker, she will hurt you."
"Shut up—" Ji Xingyan looked at Ji Yelei coldly, "I don't allow you to say that about her. She is the person I love the most. Even if it was her mother who made you lose your father's love, I love her as much as my life, and I will not give up on her."
"you……"
"Please don't hurt her and don't hurt my feelings..." Every word Ji Xingyan said was like a blow to Ji Yelei's heart, making her feel so painful that she almost wanted to die.
"Ji Xingyan, have you forgotten that every heart attack you had was because of her? Isn't she a troublemaker? Isn't she harming you? In the three years in the UK, the total number of heart attacks you've had is not as many as the number of heart attacks you've had in the past few months..."
"It's none of her business."
"What do you mean it's none of her business! The reason for the illness is Yin Xiaying. How I wish she didn't exist in this world, and I wish she had never appeared by your side. Xingyan, do you think I don't know? I knew it three years ago. The way you looked at her is exactly the same as the way your father looks at her mother..."
"Yeah……"
"Every time you have an attack, I am terrified. I am worried that you will never wake up after you fall into a coma. Can you understand your mother's feelings?"
…
"Xingyan, I want you to leave her, leave her forever, and leave the person who hurt you..."
"No, I won't leave..." Ji Xingyan shook her head stubbornly, "Never...I will never let her leave me again!"
"Xingyan, you can have any kind of girl you want, why do you have to..." Ji Yelei looked at her with heartache, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Ji Xingyan lowered her head and said quietly: "Mom, I know you don't like her because... her mother. Because her mother took away Dad's love for you... But, Mom, if I don't have Xia Ying, I will be more painful, as if I were dead..."
The moment Ji Xingyan slammed the door and walked out, Ji Yelei slumped in the chair as if she had lost her soul, and did not move for a long time.
She seems to have lost...
From the beginning till now, I have completely lost...
Her son fell in love with that woman's daughter!
She totally lost!
"Senior Xichen, are you feeling better? Are you sure you can enjoy the sea breeze?"
On the sunny beach, Yin Xiaying rolled up her trouser legs, took off her shoes, and walked barefoot step by step. Her little feet sank into the shallow silver sand, soft and tender.
"Senior Xichen..."
Xia Ying called out to Bai Xichen, who had been walking not far in front of her.
Bai Xichen was stunned, then turned around, with a slight smile on his pale face: "Don't worry, I'm fine now." He looked at her slightly frowned brows, and his heart couldn't help but tighten gradually. He seemed to know why she was looking for him.
Xia Ying also stopped and stood on the beach a few meters away from him. Her feet had sunk into the shallow sand, and the sand became wet as small waves hit her.
The expression on her face was indifferent, without any smile, but it became more delicate and transparent in the sunlight. Her long jet-black hair fluttered in the sea breeze, and the pink lace headband tied in her hair also fluttered.
Like a beautiful dream.
Bai Xichen has always been watching this dream from a distance, but he can never touch it...
The air is very still.
It was so quiet that the only sound you could hear was the gentle breeze blowing past.
It was so quiet that the only sound you could hear was the waves hitting the beach.
It was so quiet that only their rapid and nervous heartbeats could be heard...
"Senior Xichen, you must take good care of yourself in the future. Don't skip meals and rest. You fainted in the student union office that day. Do you know how worried Yixue was? She was a girl, but she had the strength to send you to the school doctor..." Xia Ying paused, her eyes brightened, "She is really a very good girl, and she is my best friend. I think if Senior Xichen can try to accept her and understand her..."
"That's enough!" Bai Xichen looked at her and said calmly, "That's enough, Xia Ying."
It was just a very light sentence, but it still made Xia Ying stunned. Just a few words made Xia Ying feel that Bai Xichen was angry. She seemed to feel a little guilty and lowered her head in melancholy.
"Xia Ying, are you worried?"
"ah……"
"Xia Ying, are you worried about me? How worried are you?"
Xia Ying smiled slightly and said, "Senior Xichen is like my brother. If my brother is sick, of course I will be worried..."
"How worried are you?" Before Xia Ying could answer, Bai Xichen muttered to himself, "Even if you are worried about me, that worry is definitely not as much as your worry for him. It's not even as much as your worry and care for a gardenia..."
"Senior Xichen..."
"I always overestimate my own abilities, thinking that by hurting myself I could make you come back and look at me. But I didn't know that you could no longer see me in your eyes, or rather, I had never been in your eyes..." Bai Xichen smiled bitterly, with countless traces of sadness in his eyes.
"Xia Ying, do you still remember? When I first saw you, you saw me in your eyes. Do you know that kind of joy and excitement?" Bai Xichen said affectionately, "That day, I knew that the brightest and clearest eyes in the world had my shadow..."
…
"What are you looking at?" The boy approached her, his short black hair shone with a charming luster, and his fair skin was bright and warm in the sun. His eyes were dark and charming, and his white school uniform made him look as elegant as a real prince charming. His slender figure was a head taller than her.
Xia Ying didn't look at him, but looked at the gardenia in the distance, and replied with a smile: "Gardenia, very fragrant gardenia..."
"What?" The boy looked surprised, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about at all.
Xia Ying raised her face and said, "You have the scent of gardenia on you. I can smell it even from a distance!"
The young man smiled, his white teeth shining like the sun, then he turned and walked towards the cassia tree again, not stopping until he reached the gardenia tree. He reached out his hand and gently plucked a blooming gardenia.
Holding it is like holding a treasure that is as precious as life.
He walked towards her again, every move as perfect as a prince in a fairy tale.
"I'm giving it to you. With it, you will always smell good!" the young man said with a smile, his voice as gentle as a breeze.
Xia Ying looked at him in confusion, then reached out and caught the gardenia: "Thank you!"
"In that case, you should give me something too!"
"Huh?" Xia Ying asked in surprise, then her usual smile returned to her face, "What do you want to give me?"
"Your name!"
Xia Ying raised her head, her eyes sparkling: "Xia of summer, Ying of cherry blossom, Yin Xia Ying!"
The young man nodded, his handsome face full of smiles: "I'll remember you!" After saying that, he quickly walked past her, and another burst of refreshing gardenia fragrance rushed into her nose. Suddenly, the young man turned around handsomely, "Yin Xiaying, I'm Bai Xichen."
…
"Yin Xiaying, Yin Xiaying... Your name is like a brand imprinted in my heart, making me..." Bai Xichen looked at Xiaying, "There is a kind of magic that makes me lost in this dream, and I don't want to wake up..."
"The love I give you is more sincere and more than anything else in the world..."
"Senior Xichen, please don't be so persistent. There are many people in this world who are better than Xia Ying, and that person may be the destined encounter for you!" Xia Ying raised her right hand in the air and slowly opened her tightly closed palm——
A beautiful gardenia hairpin lay steadily in the palm of her hand, the crystal on it sparkling brightly under the bright sunshine, like the purest gem in the world.
"Senior, do you know the language of gardenia?"
"Flower language?" Bai Xichen paused, frowning slightly, not knowing how to answer. He had never understood its flower language...
"The flower language of gardenia is: surprise."
"surprise……"
"Have a sincere and grateful heart, and treat the people around you with your most sincere heart, and your life will be happy. So, now, I want to return it to you, and give this sincere gratitude to you, and your life will be the happiest..." Xia Ying's warm smile spread in the transparent air, and there was only transparency and purity in her eyes.
"Is this really the case?" Bai Xichen asked softly, moving slowly towards Xia Ying.
Xia Ying nodded.
After walking a few steps, Bai Xichen stopped again: "Xia Ying, do you remember what I said when I gave you the hairpin?"
…
His hand gently brushed across her bangs and pinned a beautiful gardenia hairpin into her hair. The crystals inlaid on it sparkled.
"Well, Xia Ying looks very beautiful when she wears it—"
"Senior Xichen..." Xia Ying didn't know what to say for a moment. She stood there in a daze, looking at his handsome face, looking at his eyes that were shining like gems.
"Xia Ying, you like gardenias, right? This hairpin is for you. Remember to wear it every day! It's not good to have bangs covering your eyes."
"But Senior..."
"This is an order." Before she could refuse, Bai Xichen's face darkened...
…
"do you remember?"
Xia Ying was silent: "I'm sorry!"
"It doesn't matter. No matter what Xia Ying does, I will forgive her. In my heart, Xia Ying is the forever beautiful gardenia, forever clear and bright..." Bai Xichen continued to approach her, and stopped in front of Xia Ying. He stretched out his hand and held the hairpin in Xia Ying's hand. "Although Xia Ying doesn't like gardenias as much as cherry blossoms, Xia Ying, you will always keep me in your heart, right?"
"Yes, Senior Xichen." Xia Ying looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.
"I will try to listen to Xia Ying and get to know Gu Yixue. She is Xia Ying's friend and will be a lovely girl... So, Xia Ying, can you agree to my last request?"
"What……"
Before Xia Ying could come to her senses, Bai Xichen had already pulled her shoulders and held her tightly in his arms.
Xia Ying twisted her shoulders: "Senior, you..."
"Please... promise me, this is my last request..." The warm breath seemed to be right beside Xia Ying's ears. Xia Ying's body shook involuntarily, but did not move.
Suddenly, it seemed as if a lonely and cold light shone behind Xia Ying, making her feel as if she was in a dark place.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from not far behind them——
"Yin Xiaying, what are you doing?"
