In a room filled with pink, princess-themed décor, Yan Cici wore a summer sundress. She lay slumped over her computer desk, staring blankly at the screen. Her long lashes veiled a pair of almond-shaped eyes brimming with distress.
Since returning from Ye Ge’s house yesterday, Yan Cici had learned about the relationship between Ye Ge and the sisters, Su Mu and Su Yue. It turned out that not long ago, while passing through a small alley, Ye Ge had witnessed someone harassing Su Mu and had stepped in to save her. They hadn't known each other for long, and they were not a couple.

Although she didn't know why, logically speaking, she hadn't accepted Ye Ge’s confession and truly viewed him as a friend—an older brother figure—so whether Su Mu was his girlfriend shouldn't have mattered to her. Yet, the moment she saw Ye Ge treating Su Mu and Su Yue with more affection than he did her, she felt incredibly uncomfortable. It felt as if something that had always belonged to her had suddenly been taken away.
