The day MOMO was cremated was the last day of May.

That day, Beijing, which hadn't seen rain for several months, suddenly had a heavy rain, which seemed to wash away the entire city, and even the scent of MOMO.

It was on that day that Ling Che had the Arctic snowfield of Ling Palace demolished.

There will never again be a world of ice and snow in Ling Palace, nor will there ever again be a scene of two people and a wolf playing in the snow.

That night, Ling Che smoked for a long time in the study.

When Qiao Ruyi pushed the door open, he was sitting on the sofa with a cigarette in his hand.

Seeing her come in, Ling Che extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said, "This place is full of smoke. Go back to sleep first."

Qiao Ruyi ignored all this and walked up to him, looking at him with sparkling eyes, "Ling Che, do you want to see MOMO?"

Ling Che's brow twitched slightly, "What?"

Qiao Ruyi pulled him up from the sofa, took his hand and walked out of the study, "I'll take you to see MOMO."

Ling Che was pulled to the terrace by her. The sky outside was as dark as ink, with only a few stars.

Qiao Ruyi pointed a finger at the sky, "Look, MOMO is there!"

Ling Che looked in the direction her finger pointed and saw a twinkling star.

Qiao Ruyi smiled and told him, "You once told me that deceased relatives will be stars in the sky. MOMO is our relative, she will also be a star in the sky, maybe she is watching us, watching you."

His chest felt warm, and he looked at her fair face and asked with a smile, "Then how do you know this is her?"

"Because this one is the brightest." Qiao Ruyi drew a circle in the sky with her finger. "Look, none of the stars around are as bright as this one. MOMO just went to the sky to be a star, so she is the brightest."

Ling Che felt as if something in his chest was about to overflow, filling up the empty space in his chest.

He curled the corners of his lips, held her in his arms, and bent down to kiss her hair.

"Qiao Ruyi, you really have ten thousand ways to make me love you more and more, and love you until death."

Qiao Ruyi quickly stretched out her finger to press against his lips, frowning slightly, "Just love me, don't talk about life and death."

Ling Che lowered his head and looked at her with a smile, his eyes so gentle that they seemed to be filled with tears.

Qiao Ruyi smiled gently and asked him, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Much better." Ling Che hugged her tighter, "With you by my side, I won't feel too bad."

"Qiao Ruyi."

"Ok?"

"I'm going to Country Y tomorrow." Ling Che looked down at her, "and bring Momo's ashes back to where she belongs."

"Then I'll accompany you?" Qiao Ruyi asked.

Ling Che shook his head, "Just stay here obediently."

He had other things to do on this trip, and it was too dangerous for Qiao Ruyi to go with him.

"Okay." Qiao Ruyi nodded obediently, "I will train hard and wait for you to come back."

Ling Che raised his hand and scratched her nose. "I came back to check on your training results."

"No problem!" Qiao Ruyi stood on tiptoe and rubbed his forehead. "Shall we go to bed now, or watch the stars for a while longer?"

She had been very tired these past few days. Ling Che's fingertips gently stroked her cheek, "Go to sleep."

After saying that, he picked her up and carried her sideways, and walked straight back to the bedroom.

......

The sunlight shines on the dining table, emitting a sparkling glow.

Qiao Ruyi was eating breakfast while talking on the phone.

"Xilan, do you know of a place that does portraits particularly well?"

On the other end of the phone, Song Xilan asked, "Baby Ruyi, you want to make a portrait? What kind of portrait do you want?"

Qiao Ruyi said, "I have a photo and want to find someone to make a portrait of it. I've looked at a lot of shops like this, but I don't know which one will produce the best results."

"I do know of one. I'll send you the address." Song Xilan said, then asked with a smile, "I heard from Song Yanzhi that your husband went to Country Y these two days?"

Qiao Ruyi bit her toast and replied, "He went over there to do something."

Song Xilan said with a smile, "Then why didn't you go with us for a few days? I've always wanted that big black bull in your husband's villa."

"He went there for something important, not for fun." Qiao Ruyi always felt that Ling Che's trip was not just for MOMO's ashes, but there must be something else.

He naturally had his reasons for not letting her go with him.

"Is that so?" Song Xilan said, "Then do you want me to accompany you to find that portrait shop?"

"No need." Qiao Ruyi said jokingly, "You should take good care of Song Yanzhi in the hospital. Remember to treat him well."

"Why is it so difficult to chase someone?" Song Xilan curled her lips. "When will I be able to catch up with him?"

Qiao Ruyi had long noticed that Xilan liked Song Yanzhi, but she really didn't expect Xilan to take the initiative to pursue Song Yanzhi directly.

She had never pursued anyone before, and she and Ling Che were not in a one-on-one relationship. Qiao Ruyi did think seriously about Xilan's problem, but couldn't come up with a good idea.

At this time, Song Xilan suddenly said, "How about this, Ruyi baby, aren't Song Yanzhi and Ling Che good friends? When Ling Che comes back, help me find out what Song Yanzhi likes and dislikes."

It's a good idea to cater to his preferences.

Qiao Ruyi nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll ask him for you when he comes back."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ruyi glanced at the address Song Xilan sent, stood up and said to Aunt Zhang who was cleaning, "Aunt Zhang, I'm full. I'm going out."

......

The portrait shop that Song Xilan introduced is really good and its business is particularly good.

It would normally take half a month to pick up the painting, but Qiao Ruyi paid someone three times the salary to expedite the process, and the painting could be picked up in two days.

It was already mid-afternoon when I came out of the portrait shop.

She went to a coffee shop to have a cup of coffee and was about to go home. When she walked to the parking lot, Qiao Ruyi stopped and looked behind her.

She didn't know if she was wrong, but she always felt that someone was following her after she came out of the portrait shop.

Behind him were passers-by of all kinds, and no one looked suspicious.

Qiao Ruyi turned around and continued walking forward, then suddenly turned around and looked behind her.

No, it seems like someone is following her!

She has been training with Ling Che these days, and her sensitivity has increased a lot.

She walked forward and turned into an alley off the street.

Sure enough, a faint sound of footsteps came from the alley, getting closer and closer, and then the footsteps became hesitant.

Qiao Ruyi's eyes flashed, and just as the man turned into the alley, she quickly pulled out a gun from her bag and put it to the man's forehead.

"who!"

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against him, and there was a moment of surprise in the man's eyes.
