Shen Xia was insomniac again that night. She sat on the floor under the solitary lamp, rummaged through the old college photos, and sent them into the fire.

A sea of fire raged, and thick black smoke filled the room, making people want to cry.

On the second floor of the brightly lit villa, Lu Yunqing waved the glass of red wine in his hand as he whistled at the people who walked out of the cars that had just stopped on the first floor.

The well-dressed man elegantly got out of the car. He raised his head to look at the person lazily nestling on the balcony on the second floor and waved to him.

This man had golden hair and blue eyes. He was none other than the man Shen Xia had met earlier in the day in the café — Han Che!

"Yunqing!" Han Che strode up to the second floor and shouted after Lu Yunqing.

Lu Yunqing gulped down the red wine in his glass. He placed his goblet on the table and opened his arms towards Han Che. "Brother, welcome back!"

"Stinking brat, so cool!" Han Che hugged Lu Yunqing with a smile and patted his back with her hands.

The two brothers had just reunited after a long time. They looked at each other and smiled, seeming especially excited.

Lu Yunqing quickly poured a third of the red wine into two empty glasses on the table. He picked up one cup himself and placed the other in front of Han Che while smiling, "Come, cheers for us brothers' reunion! This is Bordeaux in '82. "

Han Che's dark blue eyes shone with an enchanting light. He smiled as he took the wine cup and shook it gracefully. He took a sniff and then took a sip. However, the smile on his face was only faint. He didn't look happy at all.

"Have you seen her?" Lu Yunqing asked curiously.

"I did, but she didn't seem to forgive me …" Han Che was not happy. She drank the red wine and poured another big cup for herself. When she raised her glass to toast him again, Lu Yunqing raised his hand to stop her.

"Bro, my wine is very expensive, don't drink it like water."

"Stinking brat!" Han Che smiled bitterly and put down her glass. He knew that Lu Yunqing was trying to comfort him.

"How long are you planning to stay at home?" Lu Yunqing changed the topic.

"I'm not going back." Han Che said meaningfully, her dark eyes full of remorse. "I want to start over with her."

"Right." Lu Yunqing pursed his lips and patted Han Che's shoulder. Ever since he was young, his cousin had been more emotional than him. And he had never understood what it was like to be able to change or even go mad for someone else.

"When you have time, go back and accompany your dad. It's not easy for him." Han Che sighed and turned away.

Lu Yunqing, who was originally very idle, took out his phone after hearing Ye Zichen's words. When he looked at the three words' Old Master 'in his contact list, he didn't press the dial button in the end …

Three years ago, he had broken off all relations with this man. Ever since he found a fox spirit outside and ignored his mother, he swore that he would never return to that place called Lu Family ever again.

He wanted his own home, and the mistress he had found.

The woman called Shen Xia, when they met again, her unworldly, resolute attitude towards him made him feel that this woman, like him, had too many stories.

"Shen Xia, you won't be able to escape from me." Lu Yunqing smiled mysteriously.
