First meeting, fate, is this a kind of fate?

Inside the rental house.

"Hehe, Su Bai, aren't you happy? I can stay!"

Xia Qingyan put her phone in her pocket, feeling very pleased.

"Mm! Of course I'm happy you can stay!"

Su Bai rubbed his nose, a bit insincere.

He suddenly realized that having his girlfriend constantly by his side... didn't seem to be such a good thing, huh?!

I want freedom!

(눈 ‸ 눈)!!!

"Haha! This Miss is happy today, so tell me, Xiao Bai Bai, what reward do you want? This Miss will try her best to satisfy you! Hehehe~~"

As she spoke, she even reached out and stroked Su Bai's head, looking exactly like she was petting her own precious child...

"⚆_⚆? Are you serious?! (⌯ ︎ ¤ ̴ ̶ ̷ ̀ ω ¤ ̴ ̶ ̷ ́ ) ✧ ︎"

No sooner had Xia Qingyan finished speaking than Su Bai's eyes lit up.

He looked at her like a hungry wolf.

He wished he could immediately pin her down on the bed and devour her!

Clearly, he wanted to...

"Ehh~, what kind of look is that! Don't forget! My mom just warned you... DO! NOT! BULLY! ME! Understand?!"

Unexpectedly, Xia Qingyan put her hands on her hips.

She looked as if she'd tell her parents if he dared to provoke her.

Seeing this scene, Su Bai's vision blurred.

His thoughts drifted, and in an instant, he returned to many years ago...

Many years ago, Jiang City.

Old district.

It was a sunny afternoon, the light spilling over the cobblestone alleys, and little Su Bai was playing in the old district as usual.

At this time, he was still wearing a slightly worn but clean set of clothes, his eyes showing the unique liveliness and curiosity of a child.

He, in fact... was an orphan.

Just like in the storybooks, in a corner of the old district, a small figure was being bullied by several mischievous children.

That figure was little Xia Qingyan.

At this moment, little Xia Qingyan's hair was a bit messy, her eyes filled with wronged tears, but she stubbornly bit her lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

Little Su Bai inadvertently saw this scene, and a surge of courage rose in his heart.

He only hesitated for a moment, then fearlessly strode towards the children, like a little hero, he stood in front of little Xia Qingyan, firmly protecting her behind him.

He mustered his courage and shouted at the mischievous children:

"Tang Shanjia! Gu Erma! Li Zhizhi..."

"You! You..."

"You are not allowed to bully her! If you have the guts, come at me!"

The children looked at the scrawny little Su Bai in front of them and burst into laughter, one of them even pushed Su Bai hard.

Little Su Bai stumbled and fell directly to the ground.

But he was very strong!

He gritted his teeth and quickly regained his footing.

He was a man, and he would not back down in the slightest!

He clenched his small fists, looking at the group with determined eyes.

It seemed that the next moment, he would clench his fists and rush over to fight!

And those children, perhaps frightened by Su Bai's Aura.

After muttering a few words, they scattered.

They... just thought it was fun!

Seeing them leave, little Su Bai turned to look at little Xia Qingyan, he noticed that at this moment, little Xia Qingyan's eyes were sparkling with crystal clear tears, but very quickly, a grateful smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you, little brother. What's your name?"

Her voice was still a little choked, with a hint of a sob.

Little Su Bai scratched his head before speaking somewhat shyly:

"My name is Su Bai, Little Sister. If they dare to bully you again, just tell me, I swear, I will definitely protect you!"

After he finished speaking, little Su Bai's cheeks immediately turned red!

He felt that this Little Sister... was too beautiful!

She was... countless times... more beautiful than those little girls in their orphanage!

He swore that when he grew up... he would definitely earn money to marry her!

And after this incident, little Xia Qingyan always followed little Su Bai, like a cute little tail that couldn't be shaken off.

He remembered that during that time, Xia Qingyan often brought strange little snacks from her home and generously shared them with him.

Those things... were really delicious!

Most of them, little Su Bai had never even seen before.

Gradually... he began to understand... that he and Xia Qingyan... seemed to be from different worlds...

He also remembered that once, while they were playing together, Xia Qingyan accidentally fell and scraped her knee, crying in pain.

And what about him? He anxiously searched everywhere for herbs, and after finding them, he carefully applied them to Xia Qingyan, blowing on the wound and saying:

"Xiao Yan, it doesn't hurt, it will be better soon!"

And seeing his earnest look, little Xia Qingyan immediately stopped crying and smiled.

At that moment, little Xia Qingyan felt a little sad.

Actually... all she needed was a band-aid... but... little Su Bai probably didn't know what a band-aid was... he was truly... so pitiful!

She really wanted to ask her mom and dad... to bring him to live in their villa...

At that moment, the sunlight streamed down on both of them, as if freezing their beautiful and innocent friendship into a warm picture.

However, as they both grew older,

The trajectory of fate... eventually led them in different directions.

He, Su Bai, was merely an orphan.

And Xia Qingyan?

She was the prominent... legitimate daughter of the Xia family!

Xia Qingyan's visit to the old district was just an accident!

She stayed for less than two months before leaving with her parents.

Since then, the two never met again.

Until... Su Bai went to high school!

However, by then, both of them had grown up.

They both tacitly buried the past deep in their hearts.

Never brought it up again... His thoughts returned.

Looking at Xia Qingyan in front of him, Su Bai's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Unexpectedly, those dusty memories suddenly came alive.

At this moment, Su Bai suddenly felt that perhaps, regardless of previous life or this life, their destiny seemed to be an ineffable predetermination?

Perhaps, this is [Fate]?

He didn't know what fate was.

Combining his previous life and this life, he only had a little over thirty years of life experience.

He still couldn't comprehend the mystery and grandeur of fate.

"Haha!"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Su Bai suddenly burst out laughing.

Then, taking advantage of Xia Qingyan's inattention,

He leaned forward slightly, put his arm around her neck, and kissed her deeply~

Surprisingly, Xia Qingyan didn't resist... "Mmm~"

Who knows how long passed...

"Ah! Su Bai Gege! Jie Jie! What are you two doing?!"

A startled cry suddenly came from the bed.

It was... Su Xiaoya waking up!

Su Bai: "⊙_⊙???"

Xia Qingyan: "٩(๑ᵒ̴̶̷͈᷄ᗨᵒ̴̶̷͈᷅)و"

Reluctantly, their lips quickly separated.

"Huh? Why is Jie Jie's face red?! Su Bai Gege, did you bully Jie Jie? Humph! Bad Gege, you've turned bad! Humph!"

Saying that, Su Xiaoya turned her head, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes.

She!

Of course, she did it on purpose!

After all, she was the owner of a herbal medicine shop,

How could she not understand even this much!

It's just, such a good thing, and you two didn't call me!

Bad Gege, stinky Jie Jie!

Neither of you is any good!

You deserve to be a match made in heaven!

(ૢ˃ꌂ˂⁎)

"Cough cough! This... that... Xiaoya... I..."

Su Bai coughed lightly, feeling a bit awkward.

Just now, he was too engrossed in his memories!

He even forgot that there was a little one still lying on the bed!

Unexpectedly, she discovered them!

"Go play, children shouldn't meddle in adult matters!"

However, Xia Qingyan was unusually assertive.

Her eyes wide, she pretended to be very angry as she looked at Su Xiaoya.

"Oh..."

Su Xiaoya shrank her neck, seemingly a little scared...
