In the prologue, a void of golden light

... ...

What surprised Cha Zhiyi once again was that Mu Wan actually nodded and said, "If it's lost, then so be it. When you have time, you can buy me another one. Let's go."

Are all women so fickle? Despite his humble beginnings, he never felt unworthy of Mu Wan, and Mu Wan has never disregarded his dignity in such a manner

"Xiao Cheng, what are you doing standing here?" A crisp voice interrupted Ning Xiao Cheng, who was still lost in confusion.

Ten minutes later, Tian Muwan arrived at the café outside the school, where she saw Ning Ruolan, who appeared somewhat anxious

Tian Muwan opened the car door and said, "My family called and asked me to return home immediately"

Ning Xiaocheng's face was somewhat pale. He looked up and saw a short-haired, delicate-looking girl, and he instinctively said, "Ceng Jiyun..."

After speaking, Tian Muwan completely ignored Ning Xiaocheng, walked directly to the blue sports car, opened the door, and sat inside

... ...

What surprised Cha Zhiyi was that this time Tian Muwan did not refuse again; instead, she nodded and said, "I happen to be free today, so let's go together."

Tian Muwan answered the phone, and a clear yet somewhat cautious voice came through, "May I ask if you are Sister Muwan? I am Ning Ruolan, the younger sister of Ning Xiaocheng. I would like to inquire about my brother..."

Ning Xiaocheng's complexion was somewhat pale; how could he not know that Cha Zhiyi was being deliberate? What troubled him even more was Mu Wan's attitude. He had only not seen Mu Wan for half a month, so how could she have changed so much all of a sudden? In his impression, Mu Wan was not this kind of person at all

Ning Xiaocheng frowned slightly; he found this scent very unpleasant. It was truly intolerable for a grown man to make himself smell so fragrant. Moreover, he recognized this young man, who was introduced to Mu Wan by her family as her boyfriend, named Cha Zhiyi

However, it seems that Mu Wan is not quite right with the * picture * book today

Aspiration and righteousness

It seemed that Tian Mu Wan did not expect him to be so amiable, and she did not say anything further about how "Wan Er" was not what he should call her. Cha Zhi Yi's heart instantly filled with joy, and he hurried over to say, "Wan Er, are you free today? I would like to invite you to dinner."

Tian Muwan had not yet grasped the meaning of Ning Ruolan's words; she instinctively asked, "Isn't Ning Xiaocheng's sister at home farming? How could it be you..."

Tian Mu Wan's response made Ning Xiao Cheng frown even more. Previously, when this young man named Cha Zhi Yi called her Wan Er, Mu Wan would certainly respond coldly, "Wan Er is not what you should call her, please show some respect"

Is it you? Tian Muwan knows Ning Ruolan, isn't she the girl who was with Ning Xiaocheng last time?

... ...

Watching the blue sports car emit a circle of white smoke and disappear without a trace, Ning Xiaocheng felt his heart bleeding. He could not understand why Mu Wan had changed like this; it was completely different from his impression of her.

"Wan'er." A young man, exuding a peculiar fragrance from his cologne, opened the car door and eagerly called out.

Ning Ruolan had never met Tian Muwan, but as soon as Tian Muwan entered, she knew that the woman before her must be Tian Muwan. Only a woman of this caliber could be worthy of her brother

Ning Xiaocheng came to a stop, realizing that he had unconsciously driven onto the elevated highway, which was meant for vehicles. He shook his head and decided to seek out Mu Wan again tomorrow to clarify why she had acted this way. If Mu Wan was truly as heartless as she claimed, then he had no reason to remain in this city any longer

I would like to invite you to have a meal together

Ning Xiaocheng seemed not to have heard Zeng Jiyun's words; he merely stared blankly at the drain where the pearl flower had fallen. After a while, he finally reacted and said to Zeng Jiyun, "Thank you, I must be going now"

Tian Muwan's expression changed suddenly, and she immediately gained some clarity. She was already exceptionally intelligent, and by recalling what Zeng Jiyun had said and done, she had begun to understand some things vaguely

In surprise, Zhi Yi almost forgot his own surname. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tian Mu Wan say again, "Zhi Yi, could you help me take this?"

Even so, Ning Xiaocheng did not fail any of his courses, which included some science and engineering subjects that required more than just rote memorization. After saving time, Ning Xiaocheng spent almost all of it working. The money for his and his sister's education came entirely from his earnings.

Zeng Jiyun concluded that Ning Xiaocheng not only possesses an extraordinary memory but also has an exceptional understanding ability, which could even be described as a form of supernatural power

Tian Muwan seemed to know what Ning Xiaocheng wanted to say. She turned around and spoke softly to him, "Ning Xiaocheng, I know what you want to say. It's just that I am about to graduate and cannot continue to play around. You should understand that there is too much difference between us, and it is absolutely impossible for us to be together. I was immature before, but now I understand. I hope you will not come to find me again in the future, as it is not good for either of us."

Zha Zhiyi seemed to have not anticipated that the hairpin would fall into the sewer. With some regret, he said, "I am sorry, Wan'er. I was too careless. I will buy you a better one later."

It was because she learned about Ning Xiaocheng that she sought every possible way to understand him more deeply. She found out that since he entered high school, he had not seriously touched a textbook. Despite this, he managed to get into university. Once in university, he further neglected textbooks and classes, yet he had never encountered a situation of failing. According to her investigation, Ning Xiaocheng never cheated during exams; he would simply flip through the books for an hour or two before the exam, as if he were reading a novel.

"What is this?" Zhi Yi asked instinctively as he took the pearl flower.

Watching Ning Xiaocheng's disappearing figure, Jiyun bit her lip and said in a voice barely audible even to herself, "Ning Xiaocheng, I like you more than Tian Muwan does"

"Wan'er, I would like to say a few words to you." As Tian Mu Wan was about to leave, Ning Xiao Cheng spoke again

My sister is about to graduate and no longer needs his care. If it weren't for Mu Wan and my sister Ning Ruolan, he would have left here a long time ago

Ning Xiaocheng shook his head, said nothing further, turned around, and quickly blended into the street, disappearing into the crowd

I am Ning Ruolan, the younger sister of Ning Xiaocheng. Sister Mu Wan, my brother has been out of touch and hasn't returned to the dormitory. Do you know where he is?" Ning Ruolan had no mood to discuss anything else with Tian Mu Wan; her first words were a question about her brother's whereabouts.

I just saw it, Xiao Cheng, some things should just be left to nature. Mu Wan's family is not ordinary, try to be more open-minded, or perhaps what is more suitable for you is right beside you. Zeng Jiyun's tone was very gentle, as gentle as the colorful clouds drifting from the horizon, soothing Ning Xiao Cheng

Ning Ruolan frowned and said, "Both my brother and I are in Jiangzhou. I want to study; how can I find the time to go back and farm?"

Oh dear... After hearing Tian Muwan's words, Zhi Yi's hand trembled, and the pearl flower fell down, rolling precisely into the gap of the manhole cover.

Ning Xiaocheng did not wait long before he saw Tian Muwan walk out. Tian Muwan remained beautiful, approaching with almost no trace of the mundane world. A sense of pride surged in Ning Xiaocheng's heart; this extraordinarily beautiful woman would become his wife. At that moment, he even felt a bit fortunate for that disaster; had it not been for the flash flood, he would not have even had the chance to meet Tian Muwan.

... ...

Tian Muwan sat in her dormitory, feeling somewhat distracted. She picked up the phone and then put it down, repeating this several times. Ning Xiaocheng had disappointed her to the core, yet now that he had truly vanished from her sight, she realized that she was unable to forget this boy who was often covered in dust.

At the entrance of Jiangzhou University, Ning Xiaocheng held a snowflake-shaped silver hairpin in his hand, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart. It had been a long time since he had seen Mu Wan. After giving money and another hairpin to his sister, he didn't even have time to have a meal with her before heading to Jiangzhou University.

She is Tian Muwan's best friend, and she even feels that she understands Ning Xiaocheng better than Tian Muwan does. He is the most outstanding man she has ever seen, without exception. Ning Xiaocheng has a resilient and optimistic personality; he seems to be unfazed by any difficult situation.

After several repeated attempts, Tian Muwan sighed and ultimately decided to cease all contact with Ning Xiaocheng, even planning to delete the phone number of Ning Xiaocheng's dormitory.

As her understanding of Ning Xiaocheng deepened, Zeng Jiyun found her heart increasingly filled with the shadow of Ning Xiaocheng. Even though Tian Muwan was her best friend, she was determined to win Ning Xiaocheng for herself. The reason Tian Muwan investigated Ning Xiaocheng's family was entirely her own idea

The only regret is that Ning Xiaocheng does not earn money; with his abilities, he does not need to work on the construction site to make a living. However, later, Zeng Jiyun also sensed that her guess might be incorrect. Ning Xiaocheng does not seem to be incapable of earning money; rather, he appears to intentionally keep his abilities hidden from others.

Oh, this was just given to me by Ning Xiaocheng, and I have no place to put it" Tian Muwan said casually, as if she didn't care at all that this pearl flower could be worn on her head at any time

Just at that moment, her phone rang

Tian Muwan calmly accepted the hairpin that Ning Xiaocheng had given her, not even glancing at it before asking, "Is there anything else?"

"Are you looking for me?" Tian Mu Wan's simple words caused Ning Xiao Cheng to swallow the two characters "Wan Er" that were on the tip of his tongue. He felt that Mu Wan seemed a bit off today

Before Ning Xiaocheng could finish a single sentence, he saw a blue sports car stop beside him and Tian Muwan

"Not good..." Tian Muwan immediately thought of the night she parted ways with Ning Xiaocheng, recalling an incident where a viaduct was shattered by a meteorite. This had nothing to do with Ning Xiaocheng, yet at this moment, the image of the utterly desolate Ning Xiaocheng standing on the viaduct flashed through her mind.

"It is not yet time to eat..." Cha Zhiyi said instinctively, but he still stopped the car, as he did not dare to offend Tian Muwan

Ning Xiaocheng had just turned around when a thick, glaring yellow light shot towards him. With Ning Xiaocheng's rapid reflexes, he had no time to discern what this yellow light was before being struck by it. In the moment he lost consciousness, he seemed to sense an ancient and profound aura.

Watching Tian Muwan leave, Cha Zhiyi suddenly felt a sense of being played. He had not heard Tian Muwan answer the phone at all. Even though he knew he was being toyed with, he still did not dare to feel dissatisfied with Tian Muwan

"Wait a moment, Xiao Cheng, let me walk with you for a while." Ji Yun suddenly stepped forward, her gaze even somewhat fervent as she looked at Ning Xiao Cheng

Seeing Tian Muwan desperately running out, Ning Ruolan's expression also changed, clearly indicating that she had guessed something was wrong with her brother

Having finished speaking, Tian Muwan placed the pearl flower that Ning Xiaocheng had given her into Cha Zhiyi's hand

"Just get off here," Tian Mujuan's words momentarily stunned the still-excited Cha Zhiyi.

"This pearl flower is for you..." Ning Xiaocheng originally intended to say that this pearl flower is for you, and then we can go out to dinner together. However, the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he only managed to say half of it; he sensed a change in Mu Wan.
