Revealing the Past and the escalation of Emotions

On this side, as soon as Zhuang Bao got home, she shut herself in the back balcony to think.

Zhuang Bao was very surprised that she actually had sad, bitter, and dejected reactions. She thought she could no longer have such absent - minded and sentimental emotions. After all these years, she was actually jealous just because of Ken's closeness to Anna.

Of course, she knew that Ken treated Anna like a friend, but she just couldn't help feeling self - pity... Anna seemed to like him. Anna was young, beautiful, had a great personality, and was kind... Anyone who saw them standing together would couldn't help but say they were a good match. Zhuang Bao just sank into her own world of thought like this.

Then Zhuang Weixin had to take a shower by himself! Alas! His mom was really scary. Every time she had something on her mind, she would be so silent. It seemed that his stupid dad probably had a place in his mom's heart.

Weixin was drying his hair in the living room when the intercom rang.

"Is Miss Zhuang there? There's a foreigner looking for her downstairs," the building manager was really curious. Recently, Miss Zhuang seemed to know some foreigners. "He's a man."

"Okay, I'll go down," Zhuang Weixin guessed intuitively. So his stupid dad wasn't that stupid after all.

Taking the elevator downstairs, he saw him standing at the management office in the lobby from a distance. Oh! Sure enough, he looked really good. Even the middle - aged woman who just passed by him couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Hi, are you looking for my mom?" Zhuang Weixin said in Chinese. He heard that he could speak Chinese.

"Ah, hi," Ken didn't expect it to be Zhuang Weixin who came down instead of Zhuang Bao. "You look different from just now." He felt even more at a loss for words when facing Baobao's son.

"Come on up," Zhuang Weixin greeted the manager and led him through the atrium. "My mom is thinking."

"Are you okay with me...?" Ken was curious about his generous attitude. "And we've only met once. You're so relieved to let me go up?"

"Aren't you pursuing my mom?" Zhuang Weixin shrugged. "You're the supervisor in her company, right?" Zhuang Weixin looked at his stupid dad more carefully in the elevator. "Do you want to be my dad?"

"Ah?!" Ken was even more surprised by his calmness. "Do I have a chance?" He immediately decided not to treat this smart kid like a child.

"Hehe! Don't expect me to help you. This is between my mom and you. I'm just an accessory to my mom. It's you two who will be together for a lifetime. I'll just stir things up for a few years at most," Zhuang Weixin smiled mischievously.

"But my mom values my opinion a lot," Zhuang Weixin added.

"What do you mean?" Ken thought this kid was really shrewd despite his young age. This feeling was very similar to his eldest brother. He felt like he was being set up.

"Hehe, what do you think?" Zhuang Weixin stepped out of the elevator and smiled even more proudly.

He opened the door. "She's on the balcony. Make yourself at home," Zhuang Weixin pointed in the direction of the balcony. "I have to go to school tomorrow. I won't disturb your conversation. Good night."

"Good night," Ken thought to himself: This kid is really strange. Just leave his mom with a strange man like this?

Shaking his head, he decided to have a good communication with this kid in the future. Now, it was important to deal with Baobao first. So he walked towards the balcony... Through the French windows, he seemed to feel her emotions. Her profile made his memories fly. It was very similar to those nights many years ago. She was also standing so straight, looking ahead with empty eyes, as if she had thrown the world behind her... Nothing had anything to do with her anymore.

His heart ached. He didn't want her to throw out the things related to him from her world.

Now he understood why he had hugged her immediately many years ago. Because he didn't want her to have nothing to do with him. Because he loved to see her smile. Because he was eager to fully enter her inner world. Because his heart had already been conquered by her. That was it. There was no reason or cause. He just loved her.

Ken still hugged her in his arms immediately, just like in the past.

"Baby, what's going on in your world! I don't understand. But please let me walk with you. I'm here, always here," he didn't want to explain his relationship with Anna anymore because it wasn't important. What was important was that he knew she had already seen his true feelings for her.

So she would bring out what was on her mind because of Anna. He wanted to comfort her, but there was not only his part in it, but also many more parts of her memories that he didn't understand, and the parts before they knew each other even longer ago... Zhuang Bao felt herself being surrounded by warmth. Her tears slid down her cheeks. It was a very tired feeling, as if there were a lot of unease and confusion... Like a feather flying in the air, finally landing and being gently picked up and cared for.

"Baby, baby," Ken gently patted her back, as if coaxing a child.

The tears were silent, as if to completely empty the past memories and completely release them. She let herself go - "A long, long time ago... there was a high - spirited girl. Everyone praised her as being like the sun, warm and enthusiastic... Hehe," she smiled in a trance. "Just like all girls, she fell in love."

"He was an ordinary - looking boy, but she was attracted to him. At that time, his depression and unhappiness made her think that he had been dumped by his girlfriend, so she gave him warmth and love, just hoping he would be happy," she stopped, shook her head, as if sighing at herself.

"And then?" Ken naturally asked.

"They were together. Almost every day, they worked and lived together, went shopping, fantasized, made plans, exercised. She thought they would be together for a lifetime. Hehe! She was being too self - indulgent," Zhuang Bao smiled again.

"Turns out she was just the one he used to fill the void. He had an engagement with another woman long ago," Zhuang Bao continued.

"Did he... deceive you?" Ken looked down on such a man.

"Not really. He told her very early on. However, her love for him made her simply think that he couldn't love her and marry someone else. But she had given too much, too much to take back. So that man also couldn't bear to give up her whole - hearted and passionate love... Because he said no one would love him like she did again, not even the wife he decided to marry. Hehe, so stupid, right? At that time, she was willing to love him unconditionally until the end, even being his mistress, and she felt happy. So stupid, right?"

"No, not stupid at all. Being able to love someone is really a very happy thing," Ken didn't want her to deny her past love. "Now, just because I can love you, I feel very happy. Whether you've taken me into your heart or not, I'm still filled with joy because I know I love you."

Zhuang Bao's nose was sour. "Ah, you're so annoying. I finally managed to hold back my tears."

"Shh, if you want to cry, cry. Don't hold yourself too tight," Ken patted her back.

"No way. Then I'll look too weak, like a useless person who can only cry," Zhuang Bao said.

"Your weakness just shows my strength," he kissed her wet cheeks. "I love you."

"Ugh, why do you always do this suddenly?" Zhuang Bao felt that one day she would completely melt in his sweet words.

"Because I want you to know that I love you," he looked at her eyes seriously. "No matter what the past was like, you have me now, and I will definitely be in your future."

"Oh, so confident?" Zhuang Bao couldn't do anything about his cheekiness, but her heart was warm.

"Of course. From now on, you can only be with me every day, work together, live together, plan the future together, go shopping together, eat together, watch movies together, exercise together, travel around together. I will be with you every day," he felt overflowing with joy just thinking about it.

Zhuang Bao saw his true feelings in his eyes and felt the vision he described in her heart, and couldn't help but laugh. "This is like being conjoined twins. How scary!"

Little by little, bit by bit, he used his full - fledged enthusiasm to slowly repair the unbearable parts of her past memories, making her almost think that the past didn't exist at all, leaving only the future. And then she almost thought that the future would be filled with his enthusiasm. This was a rapid change that she couldn't adapt to.

"Fortunately, you didn't continue to love him, or I would have to be alone for a lifetime," Ken was very envious of the man who had once been loved so much by her. He didn't dare to expect her to love him as much as he loved her immediately. However, he was already very happy that she didn't reject his feelings.

They just hugged quietly like this. The peaceful atmosphere made Zhuang Bao drowsy.

"Ah..." She really had no sentimentality and let out a big yawn.

"Do you want to sleep?" Ken just thought she was really a killjoy.

"Yeah," she replied in a trance, and her body was basically hanging on him.

He took her hand and entered the house. "Alas, I really don't want to go back now, but you should rest."

"Then stay with me," she looked at him. "I want you to sleep with me tonight, okay?" This was the first time she took the initiative to ask him, so she was a little embarrassed. "Forget it. My place isn't big enough, and there aren't any pajamas in your size for you."

"Baby, I don't wear clothes when I sleep," How could he miss this opportunity! "Where's your room?" As he spoke, he picked her up.

"Ah!" She gasped in surprise.

"I want to cut my hair," Zhuang Bao stood in front of the bathroom mirror. She had just tried very hard to remove her makeup. Now she had finally washed her hair and was drying it, feeling a little impatient.

"Why? You look great like this," Ken's huge body made the whole bathtub seem smaller.

"It's really troublesome. Short hair like Ziyun's is much easier to take care of," Zhuang Bao said.

"Turn around and let me see. Hmm... It's all good. You look great with long hair or short hair," Ken said.

"Wow, you've become so disgusting," she stuck out her tongue.
