He held the letter tightly, slowly tearing it open, revealing the words of his eighteen-year-old self.

They were so young, so naïve.

For a brief moment, Yu Muqiu thought about confessing again now that he knew Yu Qianxia hadn't received his first confession, and she hadn't rejected him. He felt an impulse, a strong desire to try once more.

But that impulse faded as quickly as it appeared, replaced by a deeper feeling.

Seven years had passed, and he was no longer that impulsive young man.

Now, as an adult, he had a lot more reservations. Yu Qianxia had always seen him as a friend, and there was no indication that she saw him in any other way. He couldn't bear the risk of confessing and ruining their friendship if it failed.

He couldn't afford that gamble anymore.

Maybe she'd never realize his feelings, and maybe that was okay. As long as she was happy, her happiness was far more important than whether or not she knew he loved her.

Yu Muqiu quietly folded the letter back up and placed it back into his suitcase, sealing that memory away once more.

What he didn't know was that everything he was doing was being monitored by the system, and the system was broadcasting everything live to Yu Qianxia.

Ten minutes earlier.

System: [Host, host! Big news! Shan Xingyou finally returned the love letter he stole all those years ago!]

Yu Qianxia had just signed the contract and sat down in the nanny car when she heard the excited voice of the system in her mind. She was a bit surprised, [Shan Xingyou still kept that love letter?]

System: [Yep! It's all thanks to him randomly shoving it in a high school textbook back then. After you gave him a hard time last time, he couldn't shake the guilt and finally decided to apologize to Yu Muqiu! He spent three days rummaging through his house's storage room to find that letter!]

[But hey! That's not the point, host! The real point is, now that Yu Muqiu knows the truth, do you think he'll confess to you again? Oh my god, just thinking about it gets me so excited!]

Yu Qianxia's eyes shifted slightly, and her breath caught in her throat. She couldn't help but feel nervous.

No way... Would he really confess again?

Should she reject him? Or accept?

Yu Qianxia's thoughts were in disarray.

The next moment, the system let out a surprised sound, its voice filled with confusion. [Wait, why did he take the love letter back? Does that mean he's not going to confess after all? He chickened out?]

Yu Qianxia took a deep breath and replied, [Don't focus on him anymore. This is his personal matter, after all.]

A few seconds later, the system responded again. [So, host, do you want to know what was written in that love letter?]

Yu Qianxia: [Huh?]

Before Yu Qianxia could even hesitate, the system, ever the eager gossip, couldn't wait to share the contents of the letter with her. It even read the letter aloud with dramatic flair:

[This is the first time I'm writing to you. I bet you're surprised that I'd write a letter like this.

Honestly, when I see you in person, I don't know how to say it. You know how quiet I am, and I'm afraid that I won't say the right words, that I'll mess it up or say something wrong.

After thinking about it over and over, I decided to write this letter to you.

The following might surprise you even more, and I hope you won't be too shocked.

Because, I don't know when it started, but I began to have different feelings for you. I started to pay attention to you uncontrollably, and when I met you, I couldn't help but secretly look at you. When I touched you, my heart would race, my mouth would go dry, and I couldn't speak. It's a little laughable, but before I figured it out, I actually thought there was something wrong with my heart.

Unfortunately, Baidu was full of cancer results, and later, I finally understood.

This isn't an illness.

It's liking.

Did I scare you? I'm sorry.

But I can't control it.

If this is too sudden for you and you can't accept it, just throw this letter away. If you're willing to give me a chance, I'll be waiting for you at the usual place.]

The system finished reading the letter, and then there was an excited, howling cheer.

Yu Qianxia was also unable to calm down. This was the first time she'd heard Yu Muqiu say so much. Every word, every sentence, was his true voice, without any flowery language, just his sincere and unhidden feelings.

What if eighteen-year-old Yu Qianxia had received this letter?

She knew eighteen-year-old her. Maybe she would really be scared like Yu Muqiu said, and after throwing away the letter, she would pretend it never happened, maybe even not being able to stay friends with him and intentionally distancing herself from him.

But what about now?

Yu Qianxia wasn't so sure anymore.

Because right now, she was hesitating, her heart was in turmoil, and after hearing this love letter, her heart fluttered, with waves she hadn't expected herself.

Yu Qianxia rested her chin on one hand, the corners of her lips lifting, and a soft light appeared in her eyes.

Life went on as usual. "The Legend of Yan Yue" had finished six months of filming and finally wrapped up.

When Yu Qianxia came out of the film city, she ran into a group of fans waiting for her at the entrance.

Loud cheers erupted from the crowd, and they excitedly shouted: "Ahh, Xiaxia! I love you!"

"Xiaxia, you're so pretty!"

"Ahh, Xiaxia looked at me! She's so beautiful!"

Yu Qianxia's lips curved into a gentle smile as she greeted the fans one by one.

Surrounded by her fans, she got into the nanny car. When the car door closed, the enthusiastic shouts from behind didn't fade, and one scream after another rang out.

Sister Rong smiled with emotion, "Xiaxia's popularity is even higher now. There will be even more people liking you in the future."

Yu Qianxia clenched her fist and blinked. "Then I'll have to work even harder!"

Next, Yu Qianxia became busy with the follow-up dubbing and promotion work for "The Legend of Yan Yue."

In between work, she found time to visit home and spend a few days with Yu Guangyi. She also bought gifts and visited Grandma Yu.

With the follow-up work for "The Legend of Yan Yue" finished, Yu Qianxia officially joined the cast of Xu Hai's "Starlight."

The filming locations for "Starlight" were scattered across different parts of the country, and the locations kept changing. The opening ceremony was held in the capital city.
