Ya Ling seemed to understand and didn't show any surprise, not even the slightest bit. She had already passed the age where she was easily happy and easily angered. Now, she was as old as an old woman.
She held Cheng Jieyu's hand to stop him from hurting himself.
" Brother Jieyu, you should leave. There are many things that can't be explained…"
She didn't want to tell him about her helplessness. It would be best if he saw her as a materialistic woman.
Cheng Jieyu held her hand and brought it to his lips. The warm air blew on her hand and it felt itchy.
She wanted to pull her hand away, but he held it even tighter.
"Brother Jieyu, there will be a lot of paparazzi around here.”She would just let him think that she was doing this for him.
" Ya Ling, no…" A loud alarm rang. They stopped at the iron gate for a long time, and the iron gate activated the automatic alarm system.
Someone was coming out of the house and running in their direction.
"Cheng Jieyu, leave. Don't ruin my happiness!”Ya Ling endured the pain and finally pulled her hand out. Before the person arrived, she left him.
Cheng Jieyu was still calling out from the iron gate when the guards outside rushed over and pulled him away. Ya Ling closed her eyes and tried to steady her steps.
Brother Jieyu, I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me and find a better woman!
Tears fell from her eyes. She raised her hand to wipe them away and happened to face Auntie Zhang, who had a suspicious look on her face.
"A person asking for directions." She strode past Auntie Zhang and rushed to the hall.
……
The moonlight shone through the lace curtains. Yaling didn't turn on the lights or change her clothes. She lay straight on the bed and looked at the bright moon that seemed to be hanging on the treetops.
Cheng Jieyu's arrival had thrown a stone into her tranquil heart, stirring up a long ripple. She had always known that he liked her, even though he had never said it out loud.
She met him when she graduated from junior high school. At that time, she was looking for a summer job. As a child laborer, she had no job at all.
As her legs went numb, she came to a photo studio. There was a recruitment board there, looking for a few photography assistants. Yaling hesitated. She knew that as long as she revealed her true age, she would be rejected again. Do you still want to try?
She had already been rejected by dozens of units. She wanted to retreat.
"Little girl, are you looking for a job?" A sunny boy stood in front of her with a camera slung over his shoulder. He was wearing a sunhat and was grinning at her. Her entire body seemed to be enveloped by sunlight, and her fatigue disappeared without a trace.
He nodded in response.
"Come in, I need an assistant.”The boy politely invited her into the studio.
Just as she expected, when the boss found out that she was only fourteen years old, he flatly refused. When she walked out with a calm face, the boy's face darkened, and in the blink of an eye, it was as bright as the sun outside.
"Wait a moment." He turned around and walked into the office, leaving her standing there indifferently. After about ten minutes, the boy walked out of the inner room with a smile. "Congratulations, you have officially become a member of Love of the City. My name is Cheng Jieyu, and you will be my work assistant from now on.”
For the first time in fourteen years, she felt a warm human favor. She did not expect a stranger to bring her a warmth that even her family had never given her. Her cold heart clicked, and the sealed frost melted a little.#
