Mu Xiaoxiao looked down at the small tomb beside her. Her tears streaked down her cheeks.

She sobbed and said, “I was thinking, if you were… still alive, would you also protect me like he did? I know you would.”

“Ah Ze… I really want to see how you’d look growing up. You’d definitely grow up to be really handsome. You wouldn’t lose to Jun Zeye.”

Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t hold back her emotions as she buried her face in her knees, her tears gushing and wetting her shirt.

Her voice was very raspy as she muttered helplessly, “Ah Ze… What should I do? I feel like I’m starting to forget how you look like.”

Since Ah Ze’s passing so many years ago, the memories of him when they were young had gradually become a blur. Even if she tried hard to recall, she realized that she could only make out a vague silhouette.

Mu Xiaoxiao was so sad!

Suddenly, a warm palm touched the top of her head.

Startled, Mu Xiaoxiao almost thought that it was Ah Ze when she realized that it was probably Yin Shaojie.

Sure enough, she heard Yin Shaojie’s sigh and he said, “I knew you would come here.”

Mu Xiaoxiao looked up, her eyes red with tears.

“How…” How did he know.

Yin Shaojie held up the jacket in his hand. He had brought it for her since it was getting colder.

“You left it here the last time. When I saw that, I knew you came to see him.”

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted and tears poured out again.

This time, she didn’t try to hide it from Yin Shaojie. She threw herself into his arms and held him tightly, whimpering as she said, “Yin Shaojie, I really miss Ah Ze. I really, really miss him…”

Yin Shaojie said nothing but only put his arms around her.

He turned to the side and looked at the small tomb.

The little tomb was made by him and Xiaoxiao.

Ah Ze was their friend when they were young, but he had an accident and died.

Xiaoxiao grieved and cried for a whole month.

The three of them often played in the backyard, so Xiaoxiao thought to make a small grave beneath the tree as a memorial for Ah Ze, so that they would never forget him.

Mu Xiaoxiao cried for some time. The radiance of sunset filled the sky and the light slowly faded.

She sniffed, looking up from his arms.

Yin Shaojie brushed her messy hair. “Are you done crying?”

Mu Xiaoxiao gave no reply as she rubbed her face in his chest.

Yin Shaojie sighed and said, “Actually, I should be the one crying, right?”

Mu Xiaoxiao stared at him questioningly. “Why?”

“While you’re in my arms, you’re crying for some other guy. Why do you think?” Yin Shaojie said, looking at her.

Mu Xiaoxiao replied, “It’s not the same. This is Ah Ze we’re talking about.”

“Yes, he is different. You think that he is more important than me, right?” Yin Shaojie said deliberately.

Of course he didn’t really care about that. He was only trying to distract her.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him angrily. “What are you talking about?”

Yin Shaojie said in a sour tone, “You are Xiaoxiao and he is Dada 1. You two even share the same birthday. There was so much chemistry between the two of you when you were young. You would always hang out with him and leave me alone.”

Ah Ze’s nickname was Dada and Xiaoxiao was the one who gave him that nickname.
