Ji Hengchuan walked back distractedly.

When he showed hesitation in answering Muning's question, Muning looked very sad. She didn't speak anymore, only saying that she was tired and wanted to go back.

Ji Hengchuan originally wanted to talk to Muning about Jiang Yuniao, but Muning's sad look frightened him, and he found that he could no longer speak.

When he came to his senses, Muning had already left.

And he had no choice but to go back.

Along the way, Ji Hengchuan racked his brains and thought, what was the promise in Muning's mouth?

He considers himself to be a man of his word. If it is true that he has made a promise, it will definitely leave an impression.

But when he recalled the moments he spent with Muning, he found that... the memory was too blurry.

The college days he spent with Jiang Yunxiao were still vivid in his mind, but when he recalled Muning, he realized that he had no other impression of Muning except that he was sickly, weak, and beautiful.

The time the two spend together seems to be covered with a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

Ji Hengchuan was troubled. It was as if a stone had been thrown into his heart. It was heavy, but he didn't know how to resolve it.

After tossing and turning all night, Ji Hengchuan didn't even know when he fell asleep.

He had a dream.

In the dream, he returned to that time when he was young.

"Brother Hengchuan, wait for me, you are walking so fast, I, I can't keep up."

Ji Hengchuan subconsciously turned his head and saw Muning. He knew it was a dream and couldn't help but look at Muning.

When she was young, Muning was thin and skinny, and her face was whiter than snow, but her eyebrows were thick, beautiful and soft, and she looked like a beautiful woman at first glance.

"Brother Hengchuan, brother Hengchuan? Did you listen to me?"

Ji Hengchuan finally found his voice: "Well... I'm listening."

Muning smiled at him, with worry in her eyes. She placed her gaze on the left side of his cheek: "Don't be sad because of uncle, I am still by your side."

Ji Hengchuan touched the left side of his face, and the feeling of redness, swelling and pain was delayed to his brain.

Although he knew it was a dream, Ji Hengchuan felt the pain again in this consciousness.

He remembered what time period this was.

Everyone said that Ji Hengchuan was lucky. Mr. Ji bypassed his father and directly designated him as his heir.

But they didn't know that before Ji Hengchuan obtained the position of heir, he was slapped by his father for the first time in his life.

He originally thought his father was incompetent, but at least he cared about the family.

But that day, he discovered that he had a brother who was only one month younger than him.

One month after he came of age, his biological father brought the younger brother to the old man, saying that he was also his grandfather's biological grandson, and asked the grandfather to divide the family property with this son.

The shell of a beautiful family suddenly shattered.

Ji Hengchuan can still recall the spinning feeling at that time.

The father he respected the most turned out to be just acting on his biological son for eighteen years, in order to protect the son he truly loved and grow up to divide the family property.

At that time, Ji Hengchuan was just an adult. With tears in his eyes, he asked his biological father why he did this. Didn't he even love his biological son?

With joy in his eyes, his father told him with a smile that he had long been disgusted with the constraints of the family to the extreme, and the existence of his son always reminded him of his incompetence. How could he like this son?

He just wanted to stab Ji Hengchuan's heart!

Ji Hengchuan was heartbroken and told his grandfather that if he dared to give this illegitimate son property, he would die with him.

So, he received a slap in the face from his biological father!

The slap was so hard that blood oozed from the corner of Ji Hengchuan's mouth, and he suffered from tinnitus for nearly a month.

It had been such a long time, and Ji Hengchuan was about to forget this pain, but he thought about it again in his dream that day.

At that time, Muning was visiting Ji's house, and the two people were arguing loudly, and she heard it.

When Ji Hengchuan ran out in the light rain, Muning also ran out.

The rain poured down thickly, dampening Muning's hair.

Ji Hengchuan found that Muning was soaked all over, and he himself was not much better.

He had no choice but to drag Muning under the eaves to take shelter from the rain.

"Brother Hengchuan, I celebrated my birthday two days ago and you still owe me a wish. I want to use this wish today. Do you agree?"

Before he could say the words of blame, Muning raised his head and looked at him with a hopeful look.

Ji Hengchuan heard himself say: "...Okay."

The scene changed and the two came to a dessert shop.

Muning ordered a lot of mango desserts, mango cake, mango pancake, mango daifuku...the table was packed to the brim.

"Will you eat with me, Brother Hengchuan?"

Muning's eyes were dark and bright. When he was looked at like this, Ji Hengchuan subconsciously agreed.

He looked at the table full of mango desserts, subconsciously picked up a cut cake and took a bite.

Ji Hengchuan couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten mangoes.

Even though it is his favorite fruit.

But his biological father didn't like it.

When Ji Hengchuan was a child, he thought his father just didn't like mangoes. Later he discovered that everything about his biological mother who had left was like mangoes.

He doesn't like it either.

Including him who was born from that woman.

Children are very sensitive. Ji Hengchuan could feel his father's aloofness. Sometimes he seemed to love him very much, and sometimes he felt a faint sense of disgust.

In order to gain his father's love, Ji Hengchuan consciously stated that he did not like eating mangoes either.

In fact, every time he passed by a dessert shop and saw the small and exquisite mango snacks, he paused.

Later, after breaking up with his father, Ji Hengchuan lifted the restrictions on himself.

And this time, it must be the first time for the young man to eat mango desserts openly.

"Brother Hengchuan, although I am of no use, if you have any troubles in the future, please come to me and I will accompany you. Don't be sad, be good——"

While he was eating, Ji Hengchuan was touched by a small hand on his hair.

He was a little dumbfounded.

Are all adolescent girls like this?

"Brother Hengchuan, did you hear me?" Muning's tone sounded a little annoyed.

Ji Hengchuan subconsciously coaxed her and nodded: "I'll try my best."

"It's not about trying your best, it's about doing it for sure!"

Ji Hengchuan's tone was filled with doting: "Okay, definitely."

"Then eat it quickly. Don't think I haven't noticed. You like mangoes. You are so attentive every time you look at them."

Ji Hengchuan was stunned for a moment. He thought he was well hidden, but could he be discovered so easily?

"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. If I care about you so much, I will definitely notice it."

Ji Hengchuan smiled bitterly, it turned out that people who cared about him would discover these details.

"Eat quickly, I'll watch you eat." Mu Ning urged him, cupping her chin.

This was the first time for Ji Hengchuan to be accompanied by someone to eat his favorite dessert. He couldn't describe how he felt, but his heart felt a little softer.

"Then why don't you take a bite too?"

Ji Hengchuan looked at Muning. He was willing to share the delicious food with her.

"Okay, then let's make a promise with Mango. In the future, you don't have to hide and feel sad. I will stay with you."

"……good."

But, two hours later——
