But he said none of that, only a “goodbye.”

He left with a gait that looked determined and resolute.

An Xiaxia fell asleep again.

She dreamed about something from a long time ago.

An Xiaxia had never had a good memory since little, but somehow, this one came back to her very vividly.

Back then in Sunset Town.

An Xiaxia gnawed on some chicken feet happily, while beside her, the precocious Sheng Yize wouldn’t touch the detestable food.

“It’s really good!”

He wasn’t moved.

“It’s really, really good!” An Xiaxia went on showing off.

“I’m not eating it.”

“But it’s so yummy!” An Xiaxia took another bite, and Sheng Yize wrinkled his nose. Seeing her face and hands smeared with grease, he wondered, could it be that delicious?

But why should he eat something that looked so dumb?

Since An Xiaxia didn’t get a reply from him, she snorted and went back contentedly to her eating.

There was just one last bit of meat left on the chicken foot in her hand. An Xiaxia opened her mouth wide and was going to take the meat in one go when Sheng Yize moved swiftly, reached out with his mouth, and took that last bit of meat.

After chewing and swallowing it, Sheng Yize commented in an aloof tone, “Well, it’s not that special at all.”

But actually, it was.

He almost had the impulse to rob the chubby girl of her other chicken feet.

Staring at the bare bone in her hand, An Xiaxia asked in disbelief, “D- did you just take my meat?”

“I did,” Sheng Yize said casually, then pushed a plate of tofu mixed with chopped green onions toward her. “Here, you can have my tofu.”

An Xiaxia pursed her lips, grievance written all over her chubby face. “But I don’t want your tofu.”

The pretty black eyes blinked. “Oh? But I want your chicken feet.”

Sheng Yize picked up the last one and gracefully nibbled on it.

An Xiaxia was baffled. “You... I thought you didn’t want to eat it!”

“Did I say that?”

“You so did!”

“But I want to eat it now,” said Sheng Yize matter-of-factly, which brought tears to An Xiaxia’s eyes right away. “You stole my food! You’re a bad man!”

Maybe it was because of the scrumptious chicken feet which had been marinated by Grandma Song, or maybe it pleased him that much to take An Xiaxia’s stuff, but Sheng Yize smiled at her.

What a smile.

An Xiaxia stared at him with her mouth open.

Seeing the dumbfounded look on her face, Sheng Yize wiped his fingers clean, fetched some pen and paper, and wrote down a line in his elegant handwriting.

Back then, An Xiaxia barely knew how to read. She stole a glance and asked with flushed cheeks, “What are you writing?”

“An IOU.” Sheng Yize raised a dark eyebrow. “Songsong lent me a chicken foot and I have hereby paid it back with a smile! The bill is settled!”

An Xiaxia calculated on her fingers for a long while before saying indignantly, “Are you saying your one smile is as good as a chicken foot?”

“You don’t like it? Was my smile not handsome enough?” Sheng Yize moved closer all of a sudden and An Xiaxia blushed when she saw that face so close to her. Jabbing the tips of her index fingers together, she mumbled, “Well, it was quite handsome...”

But her chicken feet were just so delicious! Sob... She couldn’t trade one for the other!

“If you don’t like it, then... how about this?” Sheng Yize covered her eyes, then a soft kiss landed on her lips.

A breeze came in through the window, flipping the paper on the table.

IOU.

“Songsong lent me a chicken foot and I hereby pay it back with myself. From now on, you’re the only girl I will ever love.”

An Xiaxia woke up with a start at a suffocating sensation. Opening her eyes, she found Mu Li standing by her bed with her hands wrapped tightly around An Xiaxia’s neck...
