Unlike her usual polite and distant demeanor, the short-haired girl in front of him looked at him coldly, her expression indifferent, showing no trace of pretense. This sudden shift made Shan Xingyou's heart skip a beat, a wave of unease and panic spreading through him...

"Xiaxia, you..." What happened? He didn't get the chance to ask those words.

Yu Qianxia interrupted him, "Shan Xingyou, when you were eighteen, did you ever feel guilty about stealing someone's things?"

What? Shan Xingyou froze, his eyelid twitching.

"Xiaxia, what on earth are you talking about?" Shan Xingyou barely kept his smile in place, responding with a feigned question. He couldn't believe it—how did Yu Qianxia know about such a secret?

But the short-haired girl slightly curved her lips, offering no mercy, directly exposing his pretense. "Really? You didn't know?"

"Surely you're aware of the fact that you hired someone to imitate my handwriting online, right?"

Boom—

Shan Xingyou's face shifted between shades of green and white, his embarrassment and discomfort plainly visible on his face.

She... she knew about this?

In that moment, Shan Xingyou felt utterly humiliated. He tried to explain, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.

It had been such a secretive matter. For him, playing a little trick had always seemed harmless.

But Yu Qianxia had completely exposed him, and his pride took a hit.

Caught red-handed, Shan Xingyou's heart sank, leaving him with no words to argue.

Seeing his reaction, Yu Qianxia knew she had guessed right.

Yu Muqiu's confession letters had indeed been intercepted by Shan Xingyou, who had even forced a fake rejection letter to be sent back.

Shan Xingyou dared not meet her gaze, frozen with embarrassment. At that moment, Yu Qianxia's voice, tinged with coldness, broke the silence, "I hate it when others interfere with my matters. If I'm going to reject someone, I'll do it myself."

Shan Xingyou hesitated before slowly raising his head. It took him a while to mumble, "I'm sorry."

Yu Qianxia looked at him seriously and said, "You don't need to apologize to me."

At this point, Shan Xingyou was left speechless.

Yu Qianxia paused, then added, "Also, I don't like you. Please, don't come into my life again."

Her words were as sharp as a knife, sudden and swift, plunging directly into his heart.

Shan Xingyou almost wanted to cry.

This time, he truly understood—he had no chance anymore. None at all!

He wasn't any worse than Yu Muqiu! He had been secretly in love with her for so many years!

But after she said those words, she turned and walked away, her back straight, confident, and carefree.

Shan Xingyou lowered his eyes, and after a long moment, he tossed the bouquet of flowers into the trash can.

The days on set passed by slowly but steadily. Yu Qianxia gradually lost the initial excitement of filming but gained a deeper understanding of the industry. Her growth was rapid.

One day, Yu Qianxia received an invitation from the renowned director Xu Hai to audition for the lead role in his upcoming film.

She took a leave of absence from the crew and rushed back to A city to meet Xu Hai.

When Xu Hai saw her, he froze in place. "You look... exactly like her, it's uncanny!"

Yu Qianxia smiled faintly, not saying anything.

Xu Hai spoke excitedly, "You really look just like your mother."

"Do you know? I've been preparing a film for years, and I wanted to invite your mother to star in it, but unfortunately... I never had the chance."

"I've never been able to find the right actress. I didn't want to settle, so this movie has been delayed for a long time. For years, I've kept searching for the actress I wanted, but none of them ever satisfied me!"

"The producers told me to lower my standards and just pick someone good enough, but I refused. I wanted to wait! Wait for the actress who fits the film the best!"

"And then! I waited, and I found you!"

Xu Hai spoke passionately, his face filled with nostalgia as he shared his connection to the script and Yu Qianxia's mother, Jian Yishu.

Yu Qianxia was deeply moved by his emotions, feeling a strong stir in her heart.

Her mother had once expressed interest in starring in this movie. If it weren't for that car accident, she would have joined the cast long ago.

This movie project had been put on hold for eighteen years, and now, through an incredible twist of fate, it had finally found its way back to her.

Xu Hai had already recognized her acting sk**ls and appearance, so he placed the contract directly in front of her.

Yu Qianxia had read the script before coming, and she liked the story very much. Now, after flipping through the contract, she felt that Xu Hai's sincerity was truly substantial. She smiled slightly and spoke with a serious tone, "Thank you for your trust, Director Xu. I won't let you down!"

After Yu Qianxia signed the contract with Xu Hai, she left the meeting, feeling a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the future.

Meanwhile, Yu Muqiu suddenly received a package from Jing City.

When he saw the sender's name, he furrowed his brows.

His movements were far from calm as he ripped open the package with a bit of roughness.

Inside was a note that read:

Shan Xingyou:
[I've been torn about this for a long time, thinking it over again and again before making this decision. I didn't want us to end up with nothing, not even as friends.
This package is a seven-year-late apology. That year, I took something from you, and now I'm returning it. Also, the letter you received from her... it wasn't really from her. I had someone fake it for me, it was all a lie.]

Yu Muqiu's face darkened, and a heavy, suffocating feeling spread in his chest as he read the note. His eyes lingered on the mint-green envelope that was tucked beneath the note, and suddenly, he froze.

This was...

His letter, the one he wrote to Yu Qianxia when he was eighteen.

Yu Muqiu's eyes flashed with an expression of disbelief that was hard to put into words.

So, the letter he wrote to Yu Qianxia all those years ago—she never received it?

So, even that rejection letter was fake?

Yu Muqiu's emotions became complicated in an instant.

It felt as though fate had played a cruel joke on him, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
