"Then he listened to the song. This guy is so annoying, you know? I'm a really famous singer, and he didn't even know it was my song..."

"Sisi, get to the point."

"Ahem, sorry, then he listened to 'Knowing full well that I can't fall in love with you'... and as he listened, he cried. In the face of a life-threatening situation, he showed no sign of fear at all. It's hard to imagine that he shed tears while listening to a song. Do you know how shocked I was? Was it because my song was too moving? Come on, it was just because the lyrics matched reality. So at that moment, I guessed his reason for tears was somehow related to your letter. This time we came not just to see him again, but also to meet you and figure out what kind of girl you are that could evoke such deep emotions in him."

Hearing this, Liu Siyan remained silent, knowing she needed to keep listening.

"Why did he go to XG to work as a bodyguard?"

"He probably became a bodyguard to cover his true identity. I mentioned before, when I met him, he was called Shen Zhifan, and he looked like this."

Li Sisi said, pulling out some secretly taken photos of Xiaofan.

Looking at the photos, Liu Siyan was stunned. She couldn't possibly connect this person with Xiaofan. But the more she looked, the more she realized that his eyes were exactly the same as Xiaofan's.

"Let me continue. Zhifan hid his identity at XG to accomplish something extremely dangerous..."

"Dangerous?" Liu Siyan was once again taken aback.

"Exactly. The kind of danger we're talking about here is unimaginable for ordinary people. During the time he was protecting us, both Sisi and I faced life-threatening situations, but those threats were nothing to him. Not only did he effortlessly resolve them, but he also eliminated all obstacles for us in the end. It seemed effortless to him, but for us, it was nearly impossible. So, if something could be considered dangerous to him, it must be something that ordinary people couldn't handle..."

"Why do you say that? What's your basis?" Liu Siyan continued to ask.

"No need for a basis, because at the last moment, I was captured to threaten him. I witnessed it all firsthand."

"What?" It wasn't Liu Siyan who exclaimed, but Li Sisi. She never expected that there would be such a story between Sister Feng and Shen Zhifan.

"You were there?"

"Yes, at the time, the person he was tracking was named Zhu Fan, who was also acquainted with me and naturally knew that I was close to Shen Zhifan. So, they took me to use as leverage against him. That night, explosions were everywhere, and there were bodies all around. When I saw him that night, he was covered in blood. To save me, he just stood there and let Zhu Fan shoot him. In the end, we were all saved, and he successfully killed Zhu Fan. However, he was so severely injured that he passed out and was in serious danger for an entire week. He almost died, just barely survived. Later, he was taken back to the Capital City, and from that point on, we lost contact."

Liu Siyan was completely stunned. So, during his year-long disappearance, he had been doing something so dangerous. He almost died...

Wait... Liu Siyan seemed to recall something. Yes, he was really good at fighting. But that night, after she got drunk, he seemed to have gotten into a fight with Zhang Yuxuan and his group, and later there was blood in her car. Could it have been the injury affecting his body?

She walked out of the hotel dazed and confused, afraid to think further. Because she seemed to be getting closer to the truth, and when the truth came out, it would surely break her heart.

But even if it would break her heart, she had to know the truth.

"Hey, Meng Ying..."

"Siyan, where are you? I've been calling you so many times, and you didn't answer."

"Just busy with something. Where are you?"

"I'm at school. When are you coming? I have something urgent to tell you."

"Coincidentally, I also have something to tell you. Let's talk in person..."

The car started slowly, and Feng Feifei's last words to her in the hotel lingered in her ears: So the reason he broke up with such an outstanding girl wasn't to pursue someone else, but to protect you better.

The scene suddenly flashed to their breakup moments. In retrospect, considering his expression, words, time, and place, why were there so many flaws? Why, thinking back now, was everything so unnatural?

Confusion blinds the involved. At that time, her feelings were of fear, trembling, helplessness, without a moment to pause and think about why Xiaofan had changed so suddenly.

Yeah, at that time, wasn't he deliberately luring her to that place? And then, she happened to witness that scene... Could it be that night was really just an act for her?

In a café outside Capital University's gate, three girls settled into a private booth.

After a long silence, the three of them exchanged glances. The first sentence is always the hardest to say, but once spoken, everything would unravel.

"Why did you call me out, what's going on..."

"Liu Siyan, I'm the one who asked for you," Chen Mei'Er spoke up.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Back then, the scene in the amusement club was staged by all of us to deceive you. In fact, Xiaofan never intended to break up with you."

Indeed, the truth was coming out.

"Meng Ying, you knew too, didn't you?"

"I, Siyan... I'm sorry..."

"There's no need to apologize. Given your personality, I should have guessed."

"I'm sure you're not unfamiliar with the name Shen Zuimo," Chen Mei'Er continued.

"Yes."

"He came to the Capital City for Shen Zuimo and successfully found her, but she had amnesia."

"What? Amnesia?"

"Yes, she forgot Xiaofan, didn't remember who he was. After a lot of things, in the days just before your breakup, Xiaofan discovered some information, information closely related to Shen Zuimo's past. You could say that if that side could be dealt with, Shen Zuimo could shed her shadows and live a better life."

"But to succeed, he had to endure more difficulties? Even risking his life at any moment. At that time, to keep me from getting involved, he staged that scene with you all, making me stay away from him. Even if he ended up dying at XG, I wouldn't be too heartbroken, it would've been completely possible to find another man, get married, and live a good life, right..." Liu Siyan suddenly interjected, continuing from Chen Mei'Er's words.
