Chapter 59

When Yun Duo woke up in the morning, she saw a pale green sticky note on her door. In thick black ink, the note read: I've gone back to the team. Will come find you in a couple of days. Remember to miss me. There was no signature, but Yun Duo recognised Tang Yi-Bai's handwriting. Besides, there was no one else in this household who would write something like this to her. In addition to the text, at the bottom left corner of the note, there was also a small sketch of a dog covering its eyes, as if the dog had seen something unbelievable. What was Tang Yi-Bai trying to say with this sketch? Yun Duo could not guess. Still, his sketch was pretty good. Just a few strokes and the art popped on the paper. Looks like he was not only talented in swimming and math. Yun Duo took a picture of the note with her cell phone and then clamped the note inside a book. As a reporter, she was used to taking pictures wherever she went. On the way to work, Yun Duo received a call from Che

Chapter 58

On the way home, Tang Yi-Bai's breathing was light and easy. Every time he looked at Yun Duo, his gaze would linger a little. Yun Duo really could not take it and so did not dare to look at him. They arrived home slightly after 9pm. The Tang couple was still awake. Madam Lu was on the couch playing games on a PD {I couldn't find a clear explanation for this, but my best bet is that it's a portable gaming device.} while Daddy Tang was sitting beside her watching tv. The tv was currently broadcasting a basketball game. Madam Lu said "water" and Daddy Tang quickly took a cup half-filled with water from the coffee table and passed it to her. After se finished drinking the water, she passed it back to him and he placed it back on the coffee table. The two existed in great harmony. When Tang Yi-Bai and Yun Duo returned, the husband and wife on the sofa perceptively noticed the rose in Yun Duo's hand. The couple exchanged a meaningful look. Tang Yi-Bai said,

Chapter 57

She had come to look for the benefactor who had saved her life, so how had it turned into becoming boyfriend and girlfriend... Yun Duo could not be blamed for being slow — the events today had really developed too rapidly and unexpectedly. So when Tang Yi-Bai led her by the hand out of the training base, she still had not fully come to terms with the situation. Tang Yi-Bai noticed her bowing her head in silence and his heart skipped a beat. He asked quietly, "Yun Duo, you don't like me?" "Huh?" Yun Duo raised her head in surprise to see his nervous expression. Her heart warmed — she knew this was a sign that he cared. Wasn't it the same for her? The person you liked liking you in return... there was nothing better than this. At the thought, she felt lighter and she shook her head and said, "No such thing." Tang Yi-Bai relaxed. "That's good. I like you too." Such a direct confession made her blush. She quickly turned away w

Chapter 56

Tang Yi-Bai and Yun Duo walked hand in hand into the training base, drawing the eyes of many people along the way. Most of the people in the base knew Tang Yi-Bai. Now seeing him leading a girl in here without any prior warning, they were all surprised. Only team leader Xu looked smug, his face screaming 'I really know so much', when he saw them. He smiled at Tang Yi-Bai. "Yi-Bai, so this is your girlfriend?" As he said this, he visually scanned Yun Duo. "Yes." Tang Yi-Bai's response was clear and direct. "Cough." Yun Duo did not know how he could so easily adapt to their new relationship. Right now, her emotions were still struggling in the awkwardness caused by shyness, unable to settle. Thus, her face had been red all the way here. To avoid others seeing her red face, she had had to keep her head lowered. Team Lead Xu scrutinized Yun Duo and said with some doubt, "This little lady looks rather familiar..." Yun Duo introduce

Chapter 55

Yun Duo did not expect someone to be such a shameless rogue, exemplifying shamelessness in such a different way. She had no choice but to raise her head and stare into his satisfied gaze, gentle yet heated. His eyes were a deep, deep ocean, and she was a fish swimming within it, so deeply within it that she could not extricate herself. She stared at him in a daze, immobile. Tang Yi-Bai did not receive a response from her, so he could only help himself. He clasped her chin and his gaze fell to her lips. He slowly bent his head and leaned in. Yun Duo's heart trembled, like the soft flutter of a butterfly's wings. She was suddenly very nervous, so nervous that her legs felt weak. She did not dare to look at him, closing her eyes tightly. But his kiss never came. Yun Duo opened her eyes and saw Tang Yi-Bai looking somewhere behind her. His expression was as dark as thunderclouds. Surprised and curious, she turned to look, only to see the back of someone running away fro

Chapter 54

Yun Duo thought that Lin Zi might take her to a graveyard of some sort to visit his younger sister. After all, every time he mentioned her, he was always in a depressed mood. Unexpectedly, he brought her to a hospital. A quiet hospital, a white ward, like the deepest depths of a silent snowfield. As soon as Yun Duo stepped foot into the spacious and bright ward, she saw the person laying on the bed. Her features were exactly like that in the photo in Lin Zi's handphone, but she was much thinner, and her complexion was pale with almost no colour at all in her cheeks. Her eyes were closed, her expression serene, as if she were in a deep sleep. However, Yun Duo felt that she might not really be sleeping. Or perhaps, it should be said that she might always be sleeping like this, never waking. Yun Duo glanced at Lin Zi. His expression was calm, but the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed. He said, "It's been four years." Yun Duo felt a little sad. Such a y
