This was an anti-theft badge

Xu Zhizhou returned to his seat,

He ignored the fixed gaze of his deskmate,

He took out the books he would use in the afternoon and spread them on the table.

His deskmate couldn't help but lean in front of him and whisper, "Xu Zhizhou,

Are you secretly in a relationship? "

Xu Zhizhou's first reaction was to frown. "What love?

Who did you hear that from? "

His deskmate had an expression that everyone knew,

"We all saw it with our own eyes. It was in the cafeteria at noon... sigh,

By the way..,

Your girlfriend is quite beautiful,

She's much prettier than that school belle... "

Xu Zhizhou interrupted him. "She's not my girlfriend."

"How can..." his deskmate wanted to say more, but the bell had already rung,

The teacher also came in,

He could only reluctantly shut his mouth.

Xu Zhizhou's heart finally fell back to its original place.

..

During the Spring Festival, Song Hanqing finally had a few days free to go to China with her husband and son for the New Year.

Of course, during this period..,

It was impossible for Burt to not see his little baby for so long,

Basically, as long as he had a little free time..,

He would run back to China.

Song Hanqing's schedule was full all year round,

She couldn't find the time to come over.

It wasn't easy for her to have a few days off during the Spring Festival,

She hurried back to see her mother and daughter.

On the first day of the Spring Festival,

Song Xuan ran to the Xu family in a furry outfit. Mother Xu opened the door,

Song Xuan obediently greeted her,

Mother Xu knew what the little girl was doing here,

She took out her slippers and let her change into them. Then she pointed upstairs and said with a smile, "Brother is in the study!

Go find him! "

Song Xuan nimbly took off her thick boots and changed into her exclusive slippers in the Xu family. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie." Then she went upstairs with ease.

Song Xuan gently pushed open the door to the study. He held his breath and tiptoed behind Xu Zhizhou. He covered his eyes with his small hands and deliberately lowered his voice. "Guess who I am?"

Xu Zhizhou knew from the moment she came in. He didn't say anything because he didn't want to disturb her mood. Now that she put a pair of cold little hands on his eyes, Xu Zhizhou frowned. He pulled down one of her little hands and wrapped it tightly with his own. "Why is your hand so cold?

Did you forget to wear gloves again? "

Then, he looked at her left hand, which was holding an exquisite box, but her small hand was also red from the cold … He took the box and put it on the table, while his other hand wrapped around her left hand.

After holding it for a while, it was still cold. Xu Zhizhou lowered his head, held her hand, and blew warm air into it.

Song Xuan stared blankly at his series of actions. Suddenly, she said something shocking, "Brother Zhizhou, can I marry you?"

Xu Zhizhou was stunned when he heard her actions. After a few seconds, he said in a serious voice, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Then he put down her slightly warmer hand, turned around, and picked up a pen on the table. He pretended to be busy writing and drawing in a book.

Song Xuan pouted unhappily. "I'm not talking nonsense. You're so good to me, and I like you very much. I want to marry you!" Then she leaned in front of Xu Zhizhou and asked, "Brother, don't you like me?"

Although she said it as a question, her eyes clearly said, "I'm so cute. How could anyone not like me?"

Xu Zhizhou was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice, "… No, but …"

The little girl got the answer. She didn't want to hear it!

When she saw the paper box on the table, she remembered what she was here for. She said happily to Xu Zhizhou, "Brother, I learned how to make a cake from Mom today. I made this specially for you ~ ~"

Xu Zhizhou smiled and said, "Really?"

Before he could compliment her, he saw a very beautiful box. When he opened it, there was a lump of black stuff inside.

Xu Zhizhou's smile froze. He tried his best not to show too much surprise. "Huahua, what's this?"

He saw the little girl look at him with a disgusted expression, as if to say, "Why are you so stupid? Can't you see this?" Then she said proudly, "This is strawberry pie!

My dad said it's delicious. It's better than anything he eats anywhere else. "

Xu Zhizhou finally couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. That uncle's taste was really quite special.

Song Xuan took out a spoon from the box and handed it to him. "Brother, try it ~ ~"

Xu Zhizhou looked at her expectant eyes and carefully scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

"Is it good? Is it good?"

As soon as the thing entered his mouth, Xu Zhizhou felt a bitter taste on his tongue. There was too much sugar. When he swallowed the thing in his mouth as calmly as possible, his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak. He cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Well done."

The little girl cheered. Then she took the whole plate out and put it in front of Xu Zhizhou. "Brother, if you like it, eat more. I'll learn more in the future and make more for you."

Xu Zhizhou's face faintly showed a look of despair. After a few seconds, he put the cake back in. The little girl looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "I just had lunch. I'm not too hungry now. I'll eat it later."

"Oh, then don't forget, Brother."

"… Yes, I won't forget."

…

The new semester was about to pass. Two days ago, Song Xuan was still acting coquettishly with Xu Zhizhou and wanted to go out during the summer vacation.

However, that night, Grandma suddenly fainted in her room. The nanny shouted for her for a long time, but she didn't wake up. She then hurriedly went to find Assistant Zhou.

Assistant Zhou drove Grandma to the hospital, and Song Xuan followed along. After a long examination at the hospital, the doctor came out and said that the patient was already very old. In the past two years, her mental state had been relatively damaged. That was why she suddenly fell ill tonight and fainted on the ground. Her body would definitely be weak in the future. There was no cure, so she could only be slowly nursed back to health …

Song Xuan felt very guilty. In the past year, she had tried her best to nurture Grandma's health and make her happy. However, Grandpa's death had a great impact on Grandma.

Assistant Zhou called Song Hanqing and told her about it. Song Hanqing was anxious after hearing it. She decided not to listen to her mother's idea and let her stay in the country by herself. It would be more reassuring to have her by her side.

Burt arranged for a private jet. Assistant Zhou arranged everything overnight and took Grandma and Song Xuan back to England.

The next day, Song Xuan didn't come over, and Xu Zhizhou couldn't get through either. When the Song family asked, they found out what happened last night.

…

Xu Zhizhou was in his third year of high school. Before the girl appeared, he was clearly alone. Now that she was gone, his heart felt empty. It was as if there was a big hole in it, and the wind that blew in was cold to the bones …

His deskmate never saw Xu Zhizhou run out between classes again. He always ate lunch alone. He became more and more unapproachable.

He guessed that he had broken up with his girlfriend. He didn't dare to mention Song Xuan again, for fear of provoking him.

That day, the weather was very good. Grade 12 Class 16 was in class as usual. Suddenly, the homeroom teacher came in and asked Xu Zhizhou to go to her office.

Xu Zhizhou went to the office. Father Xu's assistant was waiting inside. He didn't know why, but he suddenly had a bad feeling.

When the assistant saw him come in, he stood up and said, "Young Master, something happened to President Xu."

It wasn't until then that Xu Zhizhou found out what had happened to his family's company. Today, his father had passed away unexpectedly.

His father had clearly said goodbye to his mother with a smile this morning. It had only been a few short hours.

The homeroom teacher looked sympathetically at the young man whose family had suddenly changed. She walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. Xu Zhizhou's body seemed to regain consciousness. He couldn't seem to make a sound. His voice was unbelievably hoarse. After a long time, he squeezed out, "… Where's my mother?"

The assistant replied, "Madam is at home now, but she's not doing well. After she heard the news, she cried and fainted twice."

Xu Zhizhou abruptly turned and walked out of the door. His back was straight, as if no matter what happened, he wouldn't bend in the slightest …

Ever since Song Xuan returned to England with her grandmother, Song Hanqing arranged for her grandmother to go to the hospital for treatment. During this time, her grandmother didn't wake up. Song Xuan focused on staying by her side. When her condition finally improved, she remembered that she had to call Xu Zhizhou to let him know that she was safe.

In the end, she couldn't get through to his phone number?

She waited for a few more days, but she still couldn't get through to his phone. Song Xuan secretly bought a plane ticket without telling her parents and ran back to China.

When she arrived at the Xu residence, she found that the door of the Xu residence was tightly shut. The ground was covered in dust and leaves, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were showing signs of decay. It seemed that no one had lived here for some time. Only then did she realize that she was still too late.

…

Eight years later.

London, England

Etirian Building.

In a bright and spacious studio with simple decorations, Song Xuan sat at her desk. In front of her was a variety of fabrics. She carefully observed the characteristics of each piece of fabric, hoping to find the most suitable one for her next design.

Song Xuan's assistant, Ariel, a beautiful woman with curly blonde hair, pushed open the door and walked in. "Miss Amy, the studio has already made the sample for the gown you designed a few days ago. Would you like to take a look?"

"Okay, I got it."

Song Xuan relaxed and leaned back in her chair. Then she took out her phone and habitually browsed through the domestic entertainment news. As if she saw something she was satisfied with, a smile gradually appeared on her originally expressionless face.
