Yansheng suddenly grabbed the handrail of the escalator and wanted to stop the young man, but she opened her mouth without making a sound.

What shall I call him? I don’t even know his last name!

She looked back at the escalator behind her—the cross-floor escalator was high and fast, and it was impossible for it to go backward.

“I’m sorry! Excuse me!” shouted Yansheng. She pulled Heling’s hand and ran up.

“Sister?” Heling was surprised by her action.

They ran all the way to the end of the escalator. Yansheng pulled her sister around and went directly to the descending elevator. “Excuse me!”

Heling was astonished and could only follow her to run down.

However, when they reached the floor at the end of the escalator, the handsome young man with a cold and reserved temperament had disappeared.

Yansheng looked around, but all she saw were the faces or backs of other people passing by. That slender figure could no longer be found.

Heling tugged at her. “Sister? What’s wrong?”

Yansheng’s heart was full of regrets, she exhaled and said, “Nothing, I just saw an acquaintance but we weren’t able to catch up. It’s okay. Come on, let’s go and get some tea.”

The queen cake really deserved its reputation and it quickly conquered the stomach of the little girl. What made Heling even more happy than the cake was that Yansheng deliberately took her out, bought her suitable undergarments, and took her for an afternoon tea. This kind of alone time just for her did not exist in her life before.

In the past, Shuocheng would buy new things and bring them to her. When he ate new snacks, he would take them for her to eat as well.

As far as she could remember, no one had created such a cozy time for her alone. She took a bite of the cake and glanced at her sister, and her eyes and lips couldn’t help but curled up.

Yansheng flicked her sister’s forehead. “What are you so happy about?”

Heling smiled and dodged away.

Yansheng held her cheek and sipped a drink, while thinking of that man.

The man she saw on the escalator was the same man who took her to the hospital, gently held her hand, and accompanied her through the last minutes of her last life.

And Yansheng didn’t expect to meet him today.

Just as Heling had not been valued in the family, Yansheng felt happy and cherished this afternoon tea time as well. Since her mother passed away, it had been a long time since she felt such unrequited tenderness from others.

Back then, she died.

That tenderness became a warmth that she wouldn’t forget even if she died.

That tenderness became a warmth that she wouldn’t forget even if she died.

With Yansheng’s temperament, naturally, she wanted to reach out and grab it.

Right now, Jinding KTV did not exist yet. But she clearly remembered the year, month, and day of her death.

When that time came, she planned to go to Jinding KTV to be able to see that man again.

He looked older than she was now, and he should be an adult already. But it didn’t matter because by then, she would be twenty-one and would be an adult as well.

In fact, that was much better than getting acquainted now. What could she do at this awkward age?

She decided to focus on her studies first.
