Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan opened the box and found a round-shaped fish tank made of glass inside. There was a plastic bag pumped with oxygen inside of which two fishes of vibrant colors were swimming inside. The fishes were rare and not commonly seen on the market.

They were different from those she received from Bai Yinning at his place last time. Yet, the sight of the fishes still couldn’t help but remind Lin Xinyan of the incident that had taken place in Baicheng back then.

Meanwhile, Zong Jinghao unbuttoned his shirt and made his way to the bathroom. This time, his prediction turned out to be wrong. He supposed the gift was from Zhou Chunchun as she was the only one who could think of sending fishes as a wedding gift.

It was unbeknownst to him that the fishes were actually from Bai Yinning.

Just like Su Zhan, Bai Yinning stayed low profile throughout the wedding ceremony too.

Lin Xinyan cast a glance at Zong Jinghao, then let out a sigh of relief.

At first, she was worried that the gift might upset him. However, it seemed like he couldn’t tell the gift was from Bai Yinning, or he would have been jealous of him again.

She opened the plastic packaging and poured everything into the fish tank.

When she threw the packaging and the box into the dustbin, a card fell off from the box. She picked it up and opened it to find Bai Yinning’s handwriting on it. Although we don’t get to see each other every day, that doesn’t mean we’ll start to forget each other. We may live in two different cities, that doesn’t mean we’ll stop missing each other. Nothing will come between us as long as our bond is strong. You have my best wishes, and I hope your life will be full of happiness.

Keeping her eyes fixed on the card, Lin Xinyan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly to fight off the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes. At the same time, a faint smile emerged on her face. Although Bai Yinning did not write much on the letter, it embodied his feelings as well as his wishes for her. It was a sign that he had started to move on and let everything go.

She genuinely hoped that he could lead a happy life together with Zhou Chunchun.

At last, she closed up the card and put it back on the coffee table, thinking that Zong Jinghao wouldn’t be able to notice its existence among the pile of gifts. Then, she spotted Wen Qing’s gift in the middle of the pile. Reaching for it, she unpacked it to find a photo album inside.

After some hesitation, she flicked it open and was greeted by a family photo affixed on the first page. There was a couple whom she had never met before in the photo – her grandfather and grandmother. They were sitting on chairs while Wen Qing and Wen Xian stood behind them. Both Wen Qing and Wen Xian looked very young in the photo.

She continued the flip through the album, which mainly consisted of Wen Xian’s photos – some of them were her portraits while some of them were taken together with Wen Qing. They were casual snapshots of their daily lives which were so vivid that she could almost feel their emotions through them.
