After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey. However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.
"You too." The man looked at the girl for a while longer before he left.
As he was about to enter the car, Ning Xi called out to him, "Lu Tingxiao…"
Lu Tingxiao turned back and looked at her.
Ning Xi gripped her hands into fists, then relaxed it after a while. In the end, she just waved."Be careful on the way back."
"Mmm."
…
Ning Xi remained stationary for a long time after Lu Tingxiao left. Until she felt a numbness pass throughout her body, she went back into the house.
There was something she had to tell him…
Even if it was difficult…
She had to eliminate it from the deepest, darkest roots even if it meant that she would have to face another hell.
…
The next morning, before going to the hospital, Ning Xi went home to change.
She put on a jersey and braided her hair. Then, she drew freckles all over her face and wore a pair of large glasses, turning herself into a less attractive version.
