At this moment, He Li was immersed in a sweet dream and sleeping very soundly.

Xiaoxiao walked into the room quietly, afraid that any noise would wake him up from his deep sleep.

She carefully placed the steaming chicken soup on the table beside her, then sat quietly in front of He Li's bed, gazing at him gently.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the window, falls on the ground like a golden veil, and illuminates the entire room.

Under this soft and warm light, He Li's already handsome face looked even more charming. Xiao Xiao couldn't help but recall the thrilling scene yesterday - when she was in danger, her life hanging by a thread, it was He Li who stepped forward without hesitation and risked his own life to save her.

The scene was extremely critical and dangerous, but He Li never gave up on her and stayed by her side until she was out of danger.

As she thought about it, Xiaoxiao felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

She couldn't help but slowly stretch out her right index finger and gently touch He Li's forehead.

The slightly cool fingertips seemed to carry a trace of electricity, gently stroking his thick eyebrows, tightly closed eyes and high nose bridge, and finally resting on the corner of his slightly upturned lips as gently as a fallen leaf.

How much unknown hardship and suffering does such a person have to endure beneath his seemingly strong exterior? Perhaps only he himself knows the true meaning of it.

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but imagine that his wife must have been the happiest person in the world. To have such a strong and affectionate partner by her side was a huge ask. Just because he had a face similar to hers, he could actually risk his life to protect her. Such a relationship was truly rare in the world.

Just when Xiaoxiao was carefully preparing to withdraw her hand, an unexpected scene happened - He Li actually held Xiaoxiao's hand tightly without hesitation!

In an instant, time seemed to freeze, and the two of them just looked at each other quietly. Xiaoxiao didn't even have time to hide the complicated expression in her eyes.

At this time, He Li was staring straight into Xiaoxiao's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the thin veil and peek into her true thoughts deep in her heart.

In fact, He Li had already woken up the moment Xiaoxiao stepped into the room.

However, he chose to continue pretending to be asleep because he was extremely eager to find out whether Xiaoxiao's attitude towards him was still as cold and distant as towards a complete stranger after experiencing such a thrilling event yesterday.

Obviously, the answer is no. From Xiaoxiao's eyes that hadn't completely calmed down and her hands that trembled slightly when being held tightly, it was clear that she was not without ripples in her heart.

This discovery undoubtedly gave He Li great encouragement and confidence. He then secretly resolved that no matter how difficult and bumpy the road ahead, he would go all out to win back Gu Yan's heart, the heart that once belonged to him.

Finally, Xiaoxiao was the first to break the silence. She asked softly, "When...when did you wake up?" Her voice was as light as a breeze, but in this quiet atmosphere, it was particularly clear and audible.

"When you touched me just now."

He Li is always so good at understanding other people's thoughts. He seems to know very well what kind of words can make people feel embarrassed and ashamed.

"Please don't misunderstand me! I really just saw you sleeping so soundly and deeply, and I was worried that you might accidentally fall asleep."

Xiaoxiao explained innocently.

However, such a reason sounds a bit far-fetched, but strangely, He Li himself seems particularly happy.

Because he is the only one who knows best in his heart that this is the personality that the real Gu Yan should have - he likes to argue with others and have a few words from time to time.

"It seems like we didn't have enough time to talk during these two meetings. My name is Heli, but you can also call me Ali."

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao responded mercilessly: "Ali? This name sounds like a coolie!"

She didn't hide anything at all and spoke directly what was on her mind. And these words were exactly what Gu Yan had said to He Li many years ago.

Hearing this, He Li was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed and teased: "Maybe, I am destined to be your farmhand in this life."

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She immediately realized that the man in front of her had once again mistaken her for the wife he was thinking about.

Xiaoxiao slowly put away the smile on her face, and as if under a spell, she instantly became serious. Then, she stood up with a swift movement and bowed deeply to Heli.

"Mr. He, I'm not Gu Yan."

"I'm very grateful for your help yesterday. I know a simple thank you isn't enough to express my sincere gratitude. Therefore, if it's within my ability, no matter what it is, I will do it. But, I'll say this one last time, I'm not Gu Yan."

He Li, who had been expecting his relationship with Xiaoxiao to progress, felt as if the smile that had just appeared on his face was frozen after hearing Xiaoxiao's sincere words, and stayed stiffly on his lips.

"You have a striking scar below your left shoulder. It was left when you saved me."

There was indeed such a shocking scar on Xiaoxiao's delicate body.

Once, when she asked Gong Jin with full of doubts about the origin of this scar, Gong Jin looked confused and could not give a definite answer at all.

At this moment, after hearing what He Li said, Xiaoxiao's originally firm heart couldn't help but waver slightly.

However, this hesitation only lasted for a moment, and she quickly regained consciousness and rationality.

Xiaoxiao raised her head slightly, looked straight at He Li, and said slowly: "Mr. He, when you rescued me yesterday, I believe you have noticed the scar on my body. Then let me make it clearer. Gong Jin and I are getting married soon. I love him. In this world, it is impossible for me to love anyone other than Gong Jin. Just think about it, if I am really your wife as you said, how could I fall in love with someone else so easily?"

After saying these words, Xiaoxiao just looked at He Li.

In fact, there is definitely some affection between her and Gong Jin, but Xiaoxiao is not sure if it is love.

But now, in order to stop He Li from having such an idea, she had to be decisive.

What she didn't know was how much misunderstanding and estrangement these words today would bring between her and He Li in the future.

After hearing Xiaoxiao's sincere words, He Li on the opposite side stood there in a daze for a moment, completely unsure of how to respond appropriately.

Xiaoxiao's heart tightened, and she suddenly realized that what she had just said was indeed too much. The person in front of her was her savior! How could she treat him so cruelly?

However, even though her heart was filled with guilt, she still couldn't control the subconscious disgust in her heart - she really didn't like He Li always confusing her with the person named Gu Yan.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit harsh just now. The chicken soup on the table was specially made for you. And I promised you that I would repay you for your kindness, and I meant it sincerely. But... this is all I can do for you right now. I really may not be able to give you anything else."

He Li just looked at Xiaoxiao quietly. If he could remain calm when facing Gong Jin, he couldn't bear to do that when the other party was Gu Yan: "I don't need you to repay me for anything. You can go first." Obviously, he had already issued an order to expel him.

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao nodded helplessly, slowly turned around and walked towards the door.

But just as she stepped out of the room, she suddenly seemed to think of something extremely terrible. She stopped in an instant, and then ran back to He Li's bed at lightning speed.

It turned out that Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking towards this side through the crack in the door - it was Ming Luoluo!

Oh my god, how could she appear in this place? If Ming Luoluo found out that she was in He Li's room at this moment, then it would not be long before this matter would reach Gong Jin's ears.

If Gong Jin finds out that he has deceived him, he will definitely be very sad!

The more Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more frightened she became, and even beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

He Li was about to ask the woman what had happened, but at that moment, his eyes were drawn to the slightly trembling doorknob. With a slight sound, a clear and slightly arrogant female voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.

"I'm Ming Luoluo, He Li's blind date. I came here today because my dad forced me to come and take a look. Please let me in!"

The voice sounded a little annoyed, but also had a hint of the coquettishness that was unique to young girls.

Standing behind the door, Ah Da replied expressionlessly, "Sorry, no outsiders are allowed in here." Ah Da didn't dare take this sudden visit from a strange woman lightly. After all, he had a heavy responsibility at the moment, and his first priority was to ensure He Li's safety.

When Ming Luoluo heard this, a nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart.

She stared at Ah Da in front of her with wide eyes and shouted with displeasure, "How can you be so ignorant? I've already introduced myself, so isn't that enough to get in?"

In fact, to be honest, Ming Luoluo had no interest in this so-called blind date at all. If it weren't for the repeated pressure from her stubborn old father at home, she would never have set foot here at all.

But she never expected that after finally reaching the door, she was stopped outside by the people around He Li. How could she not be angry?
