Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Her grip hurt. Frowning, Qiao Zihao said, “I really don’t know.”

Xiao Ying looked at him suspiciously and said, “You are the amulet, right?”

Qiao Zihao’s expression changed. He had not expected her to recognize him, but he could not admit it now.

He asked suspiciously, “What is an amulet?”

“Stop pretending. You’re that fake amulet, right?” Xiao Ying did not have the patience to play games with him.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Qiao Zihao’s eyes. He could only say, “Sister, if you want to know where Mr. Cheng Yang is, you’d best be good.”

Now, Xiao Ying was even more certain that he was the murderer behind everything. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at him.

Qiao Zihao walked stiffly out of the room and into the kitchen. He skillfully prepared a bowl of porridge for Xiao Ying and even prepared a small spoon for her.

Xiao Ying did not even look at him and closed her eyes to rest.

Qiao Zihao pursed his lips slightly and placed the porridge in front of her. “You’d better eat something. Otherwise, you’ll collapse before anything happens to Cheng Yang.”

Xiao Ying threw the porridge to the ground and said, “Why are you being so hypocritical? What else do you want?”

Qiao Zihao hid his hand, which had accidentally been scalded, behind his back. He did not defend himself and silently cleaned up the residue on the floor. After cleaning up, he poured another bowl of porridge for her. Without saying another word, he carefully placed it on the bedside table.

Xiao Ying did not flare up again. She closed her eyes and ignored his actions.

The two of them got along with each other in this way and fell into a strange equilibrium.

Both of them knew that this was just a facade. Any small matter could break it.

Qiao Zihao seemed to be very passionate about taking care of Xiao Ying and had always taken care of her needs well. No matter how unhappy she looked, he could still sit and do it with a smile.

Xiao Ying did not understand, but she knew that this was the only way to break through. She slowly started to go along with him and was no longer as cold as before. Her change made Qiao Zihao even more delighted, and his eyes were filled with obvious joy.

One day, after they had eaten, Xiao Ying asked, “Zihao, how is Cheng Yang now?”

Qiao Zihao froze, knowing that this illusory calm was about to be broken. He looked at Xiao Ying beside him, his eyes filled with an expression that she did not understand. He smiled and said, “Sister, I’ll take you to see him tomorrow, okay?”

Xiao Ying looked up in surprise. She had not expected him to agree.

Qiao Zihao’s smile softened as he said, “Sister, will you take me to the amusement park today?”

Xiao Ying was stunned. “If I don’t take you there, will you go back on your word?”

He shook his head silently.

Xiao Ying smiled and then rejected him.

Qiao Zihao looked a little disappointed, but after a moment, he smiled and said, “Since Sister doesn’t want to go, let’s just leave it for later.”

Xiao Ying was worried about Cheng Yang. She would see him tomorrow, and she was both conflicted and happy.

The next day, Xiao Ying woke up early and waited at the dining table early. She even prepared breakfast for the first time.

After getting up, Qiao Zihao looked at Xiao Ying, who was standing at the table with a smile, and smiled as well.

“Sister, you should have let me do it.”

Xiao Ying said, “It’s all the same. Let’s quickly finish eating and go see Cheng Yang.”

Qiao Zihao’s delighted expression faltered and he nodded.

After breakfast, Qiao Zihao brought Xiao Ying to a house. However, Cheng Yang was nowhere to be seen.

Qiao Zihao froze and said, “Sister, I can’t take you to see Mr. Cheng Yang today.”

Xiao Ying was furious. “Didn’t we agree? Why are you going back on your word?”
