"This?"

  "This one!"

  "This green pepper is so cute..."

  At noon, there were not many customers in the mall. In the vegetable and fruit area, a well-dressed man could be seen constantly picking and choosing something to show to the woman standing next to him, making it easy for others to guess that they were a husband and wife shopping together.

  In the summer, Meng looked at the vegetables that Su Mo had put into the shopping cart one by one, slightly raising an eyebrow: "Do you like to eat green peppers?" Rarely, and he didn't look like someone who liked to eat green peppers at all? Did he think she hadn't seen him not even glance at the green peppers before throwing them directly into the shopping cart?

  Su Mo turned his head to look at her and asked with a smile: "Isn't the green pepper just a garnish? Can it still be eaten?"

  He gave him a glance, Xia Tian Meng put the strange-shaped green pepper back in the shopping cart and prepared to push the cart. Only when he saw that he had already pushed it did he open his mouth: "Have you thought about the feelings of the green pepper when you said this sentence?"

  Su followed her silently from behind, watching her pick vegetables, but wondering in his heart if green peppers have feelings.

  "Thief! Catch the thief!"

  Su Mo heard the scream and instinctively wrapped Xia Tian Meng in his arms, feeling a gust of wind as someone brushed past his arm. He immediately ran up to grab the person's shoulder, who turned around and punched him heavily. Su Mo kicked the person's knee pit with one foot, pinning them to the ground with their hands behind their back.

  "Thank you, thank you! I really can't thank you enough!" The woman who had been robbed caught up to them and thanked him repeatedly. Seeing Su Mo hand the thief's wallet over to her, she quickly opened it to check and found that nothing was missing before offering to give him some money. "I really can't thank you enough! All my important belongings were in my wallet!"

  Su Mo saw the security guards rushing over and pushed the thief to them, nodding slightly at the 'woman': "No need to thank me." Then he went straight to find Xia Tianmeng.

  That woman was stunned by the action of taking money, looking at Su Mo's leaving back still somewhat unresponsive, is this doing good deeds without seeking reward?

  Xia Tian Meng looked at Su Mo as he walked over, his eyes scanning her with concern. "How are you?" he asked, his voice filled with worry. "Did you get hurt just now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" His dark pupils were completely focused on her.

  "It's okay." When danger came, his first reaction was to protect her, which was an unconscious action that moved her more than any sweet words.

  "Sorrowful Ink."

  "Huh?" Su Mo looked at her with a puzzled and tense expression, "Is something uncomfortable?" Only now did he realize how foolish it was to bring a pregnant woman out shopping, if he accidentally let her get hurt, he would really regret it!

  "Nothing, just wanted to call out to you." Xia Tian Meng raised the corner of her lips, and a dimple suddenly appeared at the edge of her mouth, looking elegant and charming.

  Just a moment ago, an image flashed through her mind - a figure in white clothes and long black hair, with snowflakes swirling behind, standing there almost merged into the snowy scene.

  Stunning beauty, yet keeping people at a distance of thousands of miles.

  She didn't know who it was, someone who had never appeared in her past adventures. But she felt like it must be someone she knew, someone very important to her, so important that even if she lost all her memories, she could still recall a vague shadow of them.

  She is a carefree person and she never deliberately thinks about things she can't remember.

  She has gotten used to her current life, thinking about the past is pointless and can't change it anyway, it's just looking for trouble.

  Su Mo looked at Xia Tian Meng, who was staring blankly, and couldn't help but slightly curve his lips. He stretched out his hand to put it around her shoulder and pushed the shopping cart to check out. He liked it this way, without confession, rejection, heartache or sorrow.

  He didn't want much, just an opportunity that could be given.

  Watching the two of them leave, the woman bit her finger and thought for a long time before suddenly realizing it and shouting out loud, covering her mouth with wide eyes... isn't that Su Shao?! And the one with him is Coco!

  So they're really together now?——

  "Hey, the company wants you to go to a meeting..." The broker looked at Min Ye who walked straight into the house without even acknowledging him, and felt a bit anxious. The company had sent down a notice that Min Ye was supposed to attend a meeting to discuss solutions, but he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving!

  Min Cong sat lazily on the sofa, looking at the light blue small pillow on the opposite sofa, thinking of Xia Tian Meng who used to live here. He felt annoyed and opened his mouth: "Is that a meeting to discuss? Haven't we already made a decision?" They had never asked for his opinion when making the decision, so why talk about discussing solutions now?

  The agent awkwardly opened his mouth, seeing that Min Yu had no intention of listening to him and could only persuade: "Vi, you signed a 10-year contract with E, all your schedules for the next 10 years are subject to the company's arrangements. Even if this movie really becomes popular in Hollywood now, it doesn't mean others will remember you. What if the company chooses to freeze you out? How will you climb back up to where you are now after 7 years?"

  Min Xun stared motionlessly at the pillow, and in his mind appeared the image of Xia Tian Mo wearing home clothes hugging it and smiling at him. The gentle and delicate posture was nowhere to be seen outside, as if she could be as casual as she wanted in front of him. The warm scene that he felt at that time now seemed to have lost even a hint of warmth when he thought about it again.

  He suppressed the thoughts that were surging in his heart and tried to make himself forget her. Even though it had only been a few days, he felt as if several years had passed.

  Too many things are suppressed in his heart, and he doesn't even have a vent for emotional release.

  The agent saw Min Di still not responding and couldn't help but feel anxious, walking over to interrogate him: "Have you forgotten your past dreams? Shouldn't you be thinking of how to solve this situation now that something like this has happened? You and Coco have already broken up! When you chose to give up on her, she also gave up on you! No one in the world can forever be blameless and regretless towards someone, waiting for someone! Some things feel unnecessary and will be let go of!"

  He can't understand why Vi, who is normally so rational, has become so emotional now! When he chose to give up, it was only a moment of hesitation, wasn't it? Since he's already made his choice, why is he torturing himself like this now?

  Min Heng forced a smile on his face, but felt a sour and astringent sensation in his eyes.

  He has always known that his heart is very cold, and he is different from Mengmeng. He uses warmth to disguise himself in order to gain others' liking and make his path smoother; Mengmeng uses warmth to protect herself so as not to get hurt.

  So he gained MoMo's love with hypocritical warmth, and was shattered by reality, losing her love.

  Even if he knew he didn't deserve Momo's true heart, he had really yearned for it.

  He had truly loved her from the bottom of his heart and imagined a beautiful future between them.

  "Vi……" The broker was at a loss, not knowing how to persuade Min Ye to agree to attend the company meeting. This time, the photo being exposed had greatly damaged Vi's reputation! Many fans turned against him! Moreover, Coco's fans scolded him online for being hypocritical! If it can't be properly resolved, Vi will be ruined in China.

  "What's the use of being good then?" Min Yu opened his mouth and only then did he realize how dry his throat was. He leaned back in his chair, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, as if a blackness in front of him could make him feel safe. "Yes, this is my dream. I've already lost her, can't even have the dreams she brought me."

  Moreover, even if he were to start anew now, he would only strive to make Moe and his dreams no longer contradictory, rather than choosing Moe unconditionally when differences arise.

  He doesn't believe in love, never has.

  Even now he deeply loves her——

  "Is it cut like this?"

  In the apartment that Xia Tianmo had bought for herself, Su Mo let Xia Tianmo stand aside and cooked by himself. Only... it was his first time taking charge, so it couldn't be helped that it wasn't quite ideal.

  Meng looked at the unevenly cut cucumber blocks on the chopping board and was choked for half a day, only managing to say: "The shape is unique."

  Su Mo didn't mind at all, and instead enthusiastically cut the too-large pieces of cucumber in half, laughing and saying: "One life, two lives, no big deal! The more I do it, the better my skills will naturally become!"

  In the summer, Meng looked at Su Mo, who was wearing a pink apron with white flowers, clumsily cutting vegetables. Suddenly, she felt like crying. She had conquered many male protagonists and encountered countless good men, but Su Mo was the one who touched her heart.

  His heartache, his bravery, his dedication, and his love.

  She could see that Su Mo was clueless about cooking and didn't even like it, but he smiled so happily in front of her just because being with her made him feel content. He thought it was worth getting excited about just to be able to cook a meal for her.

  "Why don't we eat out?" What she said before about it being unsafe was just an excuse, someone like Su Mo would definitely have some secret spots to eat outside, but she said no so he didn't go.

  Su Mo furrowed his brow and chopped the vegetables one by one, casually responding: "Nowadays it's not safe to eat outside food." Pregnant women have too many taboos, but restaurants won't know about them. Even if you tell the waiter in advance what not to include, there might still be accidents, and he couldn't afford those accidents.

  In the summer, Meng was dazed and stared at his handsome side face. In the bright light of noon, she could clearly see the frown marks on his forehead, his white cheeks, and even a little sweat. All these did not discount his handsomeness, but instead made him look more approachable.

  "Sorrowful Ink."

  Su Mo heard this and raised his head, only to realize what he had casually said earlier when he met her complex eyes. His face was slightly red, but he still endured the shyness and listened to her speak seriously.

  "You're a good man." Xia Tian smiled faintly, her eyes filled with an uncharacteristic gentleness, "Better than anyone I've ever known. At least to my heart, to what I've put in. You're the most special one."

  "What about Ming Yan?" Su Mo didn't know how he came up with this question, but now he was eager to know the answer. She said he was the most special one, did that include the man who hurt her?
