As soon as Yu Qianxia's gaze landed on him, Yu Muqiu, sensitive as ever, turned his head and locked eyes with her. His pitch-black eyes stared at her intently, filled with longing that had built up over the time they hadn't seen each other. The tenderness in his eyes seemed almost uncontrollable, but in the end, he restrained himself and averted his gaze.

His voice was soft as he asked, "Water or juice?"

Their eyes met, and Yu Qianxia's heartbeat quickened. Now calming herself, she smiled slightly and said, "Water is fine."

Yu Muqiu poured two glasses of water.

Yu Qianxia sat on the sofa with Grandma Yu, taking the water, having a sip, and then explaining the functions of the massage pillow to Grandma Yu.

Grandma Yu smiled broadly. "Good, good, my dear Xiaxia, is filming tiring? If it's too much, let Muqiu take care of you more."

Yu Qianxia smiled. "At first, it feels tiring, but as time goes on, you realize the exhaustion is worth it."

"You're such a stubborn child." Grandma Yu held her hand and gently patted it.

After chatting with Grandma Yu for a while, the conversation turned back to the currently popular "The Legend of Yan Yue."

Grandma Yu was a big fan of the show and began discussing the plot. "By the way, when do the two of you get together in the show?"

Yu Qianxia froze for a moment, then realized she was asking about the characters in the drama.

She laughed and shook her head. "Grandma, no spoilers! You'll have to watch it yourself to find out."

"Alright, alright, no spoilers. I'll watch it on my own," Grandma Yu replied with a smile. Suddenly, her gaze shifted knowingly to Yu Muqiu. "Xiaxia, you've been working with my son for over a year now. What do you think of him?"

Such familiar words. When she had heard them before, Yu Qianxia hadn't thought much about it, but now, she suddenly understood.

It turned out Grandma Yu was trying to play matchmaker between her and Yu Muqiu!

Grandma Yu continued, "You see, our two families know each other well. Muqiu may be a bit quiet, but he's actually very considerate. Summer, you don't have a boyfriend, do you? Why don't you consider my family..."

Before she could finish, Yu Muqiu suddenly interrupted, "Grandma!"

Grandma Yu sighed and shook her head, not paying him any mind. "Forget it, forget it. I'm getting old, I shouldn't worry about these things anymore."

Grandma Yu got up and left the living room.

Yu Muqiu furrowed his brows, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Silence spread between them.

After a long pause, Yu Muqiu slowly spoke, "Yu Qianxia, you don't have to listen to what Grandma says."

Yu Qianxia stood up and walked over to his side. Looking up at him, she smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? But suddenly, I think... it's not impossible."

Then, Yu Qianxia clearly saw the once calm depths of his eyes now stirring with turmoil...

Surprise, confusion, disbelief...

Yu Muqiu stood frozen, watching the short-haired girl take something out of her small bag.

Then, she placed it into his hand.

He looked down to see a mint-green envelope.

His heart skipped a beat, and the girl's soft voice echoed in his ears, "Yu Muqiu, this is a reply that's seven years late."

Until the villa gate was closed, and Yu Qianxia's figure disappeared behind it, Yu Muqiu finally snapped back to reality.

The thin letter in his hand felt like it was burning, searing into his palm, and the heat slowly spread into his heart.

Yu Muqiu looked down, and after a long while, he carefully opened the mint-green envelope that was sealed so perfectly.

His hand trembled slightly, and a simple action like turning the paper over took him several seconds.

The bulging Adam's apple moved nervously, and the letter slowly unfolded before his eyes.

The delicate handwriting came into view, and Yu Muqiu read it attentively, not missing a single stroke.

[Actually, I was quite surprised to learn of your feelings, and I'm sorry it took me this long to find out. But we still have plenty of time for our future, so it's not too late.]

When Yu Muqiu saw the word "future," his breath caught, and a sudden, uncontainable bitterness flooded his heart.

His gaze continued downward, and by now, his expression had lost its usual calm.

[If I had received this letter when I was eighteen, I might not have given you an answer, but now, as a twenty-five-year-old, knowing your feelings, I'll give you one.

I'm glad it's me now. Don't worry, it's not that I'm touched. After spending more than a year with you, I've wondered whether I was just briefly moved by you or if I was simply curious.

For our relationship, I've always regarded it within the boundaries of friendship. I never imagined there could be something more between us.

But this fixed mindset has been broken unknowingly.

Even I was surprised to find that there could be a closer relationship between us.

Once I understood, fantasies followed, and so did desires.

Now, I know very clearly what it feels like to like someone.

I'm sorry that I only started liking you so late.

Lastly, thank you for liking me all these years.

If you're willing to accept my feelings, come to our old spot and find me.

—Yu Qianxia]

Yu Muqiu's throat tightened, and he stood there in a daze.

He had read the letter over and over again.

Finally, he understood what this letter meant.

The man suddenly ran out of the villa gate, heading toward the woods behind the villa.

The night wind blew against his body, unable to dissipate the heat brought on by his excitement.

His heart pounded violently in his chest.

The log cabin had a single floor lamp on, casting soft, yellowish light, with a tall, slender figure projected onto the floor.

The short-haired girl heard the noise at the door and turned her head, the tips of her hair gently swaying against her slender neck. Her bright eyes narrowed, and she smiled at him.

Yu Muqiu stood rooted to the spot, still feeling as if he were dreaming.

Could it be? All these years of feelings, finally realized?

Seeing him still standing there, staring at her, Yu Qianxia's expression had long lost its usual calm. For once, she seemed flustered.

The man had yet to make a move.

Yu Qianxia took a step forward and embraced him.

The faint fragrance from the girl's body filled his nose as her soft figure leaned into his arms. Yu Muqiu instinctively tightened his hold on her.
