It’s actually Gong Jiahua!

Xiao Zexin clenched his fist.

So, is the person living across the street Ruyue?

Pregnant, playing piano, madam, light purple curtains, and lavender...

All these keywords indicate that the person living opposite is Nangong Ruyue.

Is it really her?

There was excitement on Xiao Zexin’s face, but soon, he calmed down.

Whether it’s her or not, he had to go verify.

It would be best if it’s not her.

If it is her... he would immediately leave here and find another place to recuperate.

Xiao Zexin skipped dinner, changed his shoes, and headed across the street.

The closer he got to that house, the faster his heart beat.

The garden was planted with sunflowers—

Some of the sunflowers had already bloomed, their golden flowers shining brightly in the sun.

Xiao Zexin walked up to the house but stopped again.

He didn’t dare knock on the door to verify, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

He both hoped and didn’t hope it was her.

This made his heart conflicted and hesitant.

But no matter what, he had to verify it.

Just as he was about to step forward and knock, a beautiful piano melody floated down from upstairs.

Xiao Zexin told himself, there was no rush to knock after listening to the piece.

...

He stood downstairs with his hands behind his back, quietly listening.

He didn’t even know when the piano music stopped.

Suddenly, something fell from upstairs and landed right on his head.

He raised his hand to take it down; it was a knotted handkerchief.

The handkerchief was light purple and had the Hermès logo on it.

It had a faint, subtle fragrance, not perfume, but the natural scent of a person.

And this scent, he was very familiar with...

Xiao Zexin suddenly looked up—

Nangong Ruyue was leaning against the window, smiling serenely at him.

Turns out it’s really her!

Xiao Zexin’s eyes widened, staring at her face, both stunned and greedy.

"What are you doing down my window?" Nangong Ruyue was the first to speak.

Xiao Zexin snapped back to reality.

"Why are you here?" He asked lightly, showing no expression.

Nangong Ruyue still wore a smile: "Is this place only allowed for you and not for me?"

"How did you find this place? Did Tianling tell you?"

"I didn’t need him to tell me; I have my ways of finding you."

Xiao Zexin thought of the recently departed Gong Jiahua.

This is D City, the Gong Family’s territory.

Finding someone here is not a problem for them.

Thinking of Gong Jiahua, his eyes turned slightly cold: "Go back immediately, I told you, I don’t want to see you!"

"I’m not here for you; don’t forget, you came to my window yourself." Nangong Ruyue didn’t mind his harsh tone.

The hand behind Xiao Zexin’s back tightened even more.

This was an unconscious action when he lost control.

"In that case, I’ll go; you stay behind!"

With that, he was about to turn and leave.

"Stop!" Nangong Ruyue stopped him, "Where are you going to go? No matter where it is, I will be your neighbor even to the ends of the earth."

Moreover, now that she had her eye on him, disappearing without a trace was impossible.

Xiao Zexin’s gaze turned to the distance, "Ruyue, don’t be willful; it isn’t suitable for you to be running around like this now."

"Understand perfectly. If you know it’s not suitable for me to be running around, then you better behave and stop running."

Xiao Zexin glanced at her: "I’ll call Tianling to have him take you back."

"Do you think he can take me away?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"..."

"Besides, I don’t mind following you everywhere. But you know, right now I’m in a ’dead’ identity."
