A Fish in the Pond

He Yi still remembered meeting Lin Chi for the first time. Like the snow falling thickly that day, it was as unforgettable as a sip of aged liquor. * The pain of parting from someone you love. A parting between the living and the dead. After attending her beloved boyfriend's funeral, He Yi's composure crumbled completely. A snow-covered street, a narrow, dim alley. She found someone there. A boy in a thin white shirt sat slumped in the passageway, shivering. His handsome young face, feigning a fierce expression, caught He Yi's eye. When she looked into those eyes, black as night, she murmured, "Shen Cong?" She stumbled into the passageway. The white snow beneath her feet slowly turned into a dirty black puddle. Holding the injured Lin Chi, she wept until tears blurred her vision. "Are you going to leave me?" "Shen Cong." -- He Yi never meant to mistake him for her dead boyfriend. All she remembered was the boy's striking, refined eyes. When he gazed at her tenderly, it was like the most devout believer looking upon the moon. He Yi was Lin Chi's moon. But the moon was at once within reach and beyond it. * Years later, control of the Lin Group changed hands overnight, and Lin Chi, who had endured in silence for years, smoothly took over. The gossip around town called Lin Chi an illegitimate son. He was certainly skilled at getting what he wanted. Lin Chi had never cared about the rumors. He had made it this far only because he wanted to find his own "treasure in the pond." Besides, every tactic he used had been aimed at one person alone. At that moment, the TV was broadcasting news of the famous author He Yi's return to the country. The woman on screen was no longer the casually dressed, aloof figure of the past. Her exquisite features were paired with red lips, and her long, black, softly curled hair fell lazily over her shoulders. Her bright eyes held a playful smile as she looked out from the screen. Lin Chi curled his lips, his gaze feverish. "Sis, I've finally found you." This time, I won't let you leave me again. --A glance that swept through the surging crowd --And you were already my treasure in the pond Rugged rogue x sweet beauty Reading tips: 1.
