Chapter 24: Hold Her in My Arms (1/2)

Translator: Mia

One year later, Yu Yi as usual put on what Yu Lan would wear, i.e., the T-shirt, denim shorts, and sneakers, and ran outside for Sheng Youting vivaciously. ”Brother Youting, wait for me!”

Standing beside the iron door outside the garden, Sheng Youting's eyes got a little bit wet. He waved towards Yu Yi and pretended to reply her in a cold voice, ”Hurry up, or else I would send you back.”

Yu Yi knew Sheng Youting was not talking to her but to the young Yu Lan at her girlhood. She had learnt a lot on this and now knew how to behave properly. She hopped towards Sheng Youting and put on a fake naive smile, ”I'm fast! And there's no way for me to go back!”

Sheng Youting stared at her for several seconds. His mind went totally blank.

The scene was so familiar to him. In the past, Lan used to hop towards him with a shining smile. However, it was him who took away her sunshine and turned her into another person.

Thinking of the past, Sheng Youting hugged Yu Yi immediately and buried his face at the back of Yu Yi's neck. His voice trembled, ”Lan, I knew you won't bear to leave me. I knew you would be back!”

Yu Yi gnashed her teeth, living with the fact that she was just a substitute of Yu Lan. She was too cowardly to fight for herself. What was more, she was reluctant to leave this man. Fortunately, Yu Lan was dead forever and she was still alive. Otherwise, she would not even have the chance to be a substitute.

She wished she could be the substitute forever.

However, life is full of surprises and unexpected turns. The already existed and was thought would last gradually changed as time went by.

It was November and Jincheng had already had a first snow.

However, in the southern city of Ancheng, only an unlined garment was enough for travelers visited there.

Wondering around Ancheng, Sheng Youting's attention was caught by a woman who was with a clean short hair cut above her shoulders. She was holding a stunning little beauty in her arms.
