The world faded away, and all she could see was the mobile phone in front of her.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The phone has all her business promotion pictures, irregular business GIFs from her Weibo, and even screenshots of the movies she starred in and variety shows she participated in, as well as the ones she sent to Jun Youyue a few days ago, including those of her Zhenzhu.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This entire photo album is related to her.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Love is clearly written in every corner of these more than 10,000 pictures, flowing out when fingers absentmindedly swipe.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Lu Xici couldn't hold the phone.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The excessive love made it very hot, and it stung her so much that she let go.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">With a thud, the phone hit the tiled floor. Lu Xici squatted down and tried hard to maintain her balance, but she was still a little dazed.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The world was spinning, and everything around her became blurry.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She couldn't even pick up the phone.

She had caused it herself and completely forgotten about it. Not to mention the nail marks; those were Jun Youyue's precautionary measures.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Including last month when Jun Youyue was ill and went to the doctor in a hurry.

She previously thought she was sleepwalking, but who can sleepwalk to seduce the person they have a crush on and succeed?<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In the beginning, Jun Youyue provided a speculation: <span style="font-size: 12pt;

font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Unaware, Lu Xici thought she didn't love her and believed she was being unfaithful.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">It turned out to be all misunderstandings.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Her memory lapses were ruthless, deeply hurting Jun Youyue.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Towards the end of the memoir, Jun Youyue solemnly penned her confession.<span style="font-size: 12pt;

No, what I meant to say is, I feel sorry for you."<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Lu Xici's tear-streaked face was flushed red.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She turned her head to cautiously glance at the approaching Jun Youyue, crying even more.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">According to Jun Youyue, they had done far more intimate things many times before.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">But now, with just a hug, she was so cautious. Lu Xici suddenly felt incredibly foolish.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jun Youyue thought she had said something wrong, standing there a bit awkwardly.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">It wasn't until Lu Xici nodded with sobs and leaned into Jun Youyue's embrace that she breathed a sigh of relief.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Finally, it wasn't a reckless embrace like a moth to a flame.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">There was only pure warmth, mixed with a hint of tentative affection surging between their intertwined body temperatures.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jun Youyue held her a bit tighter, and Lu Xici trembled in her arms, soon wetting her clothes with tears.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She wanted to say something but was afraid of saying the wrong thing again, so she just stroked Lu Xici's soft hair, gently patting her back to soothe her.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jun Youyue's actions were more akin to those of a family member or sister rather than a lover, yet Lu Xici craved this tenderness immensely.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In her heart, she had yearned for this embrace for far too long.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She snuggled tightly into Jun Youyue's embrace, tears seeping through their clothes, strangely warm against Jun Youyue's chest.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As Lu Xici cried, she finally realized the unbelievable amount of tears, nearly soaking Jun Youyue, and she attempted to control her sobs, choking up.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">"I'm sorry... ahem, I'm sorry." Her voice was completely hoarse from crying. Even after clearing her throat, her voice was still hoarse.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She glanced at Jun Youyue, still wanting to say something, but her lips were silenced by the woman's index finger.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">"Let's talk when you're free… ahem What about the medicine I gave you two years ago?" The throat lozenges shouldn't have expired yet.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Lu Xici swallowed her saliva, resisting the urge to lick her fingers for no apparent reason, and began to recall.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">After they broke up, Lu Xici collected all the gifts Jun Youyue had given her and stowed them away in a place she rarely saw, avoiding the distress of looking at them.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She used to carry the gifts Jun Youyue had given her, including last year's bottle of vitamins, but they remained untouched, serving as souvenirs.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Now, however, she needed them urgently but hadn't brought them along.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">"At... at the... Lu's home, kept in... the storeroom." Lu Xici sniffled, and Jun Youyue wiped her tears reluctantly. Upon hearing this, she didn't show any sign of displeasure.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She simply picked up Lu Xici horizontally and carried her to the bed, then brought her a glass of water.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Lu Xici felt a bit dazed, sipping the lukewarm water and then looking at Jun Youyue.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">"Sleep a little longer." Jun Youyue checked her phone; it was still before five o'clock, so Lu Xici could rest a little longer.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">"Eye mask, in the refrigerator." She managed to say something.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jun Youyue accurately retrieved the item as described. Meanwhile, Lu Xici fumbled to remove the pajamas dirtied by tears.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jun Youyue tried to put the eye mask on Lu Xici, but she dodged away.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jun Youyue noticed a blush on Lu Xici's ears.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">It turns out she is shy, so cute.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Lu Xici, feeling regretful, avoided Jun Youyue's gaze, put on the eye mask, and snuggled under the covers, pretending to sleep.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Her acting skills were good, and Jun Youyue couldn't tell the difference. She just stared at Lu Xici's serene sleeping face and smiled.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The tension that had persisted since the divorce dispute finally loosened.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jun Youyue was utterly exhausted and couldn't just fall asleep with Lu Xici like that.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She attempted to text Tao Sheng, asking for the special throat lozenges from the research institute, and then headed to the bathroom.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She needed to change out of her clothes.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Listening to the hazy sound of dripping water, Lu Xici fell asleep even before she had time to sort out everything that had just happened.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Author’s Note:<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This entire event has been continuous; I hope the click rate doesn't drop tomorrow (praying girl).<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I plan to apply for the V certification on Wednesday (February 1) or wait for the leaderboard change, which is after February 2. I'll be preparing for paid content afterward. I hope everyone can continue to support me.
