I first noticed Fang Yu at dusk. She was being harassed by a thug. An ordinary young girl would have been terrified in that situation. But she kept a cold face, looking impatient, and showed no fear whatsoever.

Seeing Fang Yu dodge the thugs and continue walking forward, she showed no awareness of angering them, as if they were nothing but air, not worth mentioning.

The girl wasn't nervous, but my heart was pounding. I was afraid she would get hurt or be harassed by thugs.

I asked the driver to stop the car on the side of the road, and I quickly got out and rushed to the little girl, afraid that she would be hurt if I was too late.

As the successor to the group, she's known to everyone living in the same villa area. Previously, the young woman had a low profile, but this time was different; she stood out in the crowd at a glance. Although Fang Yu was still dressed the same, she shone like a pearl cleansed of dust, radiating confidence and shedding her former weakness.

I ran over and kicked the thug to the ground, afraid that if I was too late, the little girl would be harmed.

After kicking her down, I felt a little uneasy, wondering if she would think I was a rude person.

Looking up, I saw that Fang Yu's face showed no gratitude, only indifference. When she looked at me, it was as if the air around us had dropped a little.

I don't know what's going on, but I'm sure we didn't know each other before. Yet, I can clearly sense her aversion towards me. I really want to ask her why, but we've only just met, how can I bring it up?

Ignoring her cold expression, I offered to take her home; it wasn't safe outside at night. The security situation has worsened in recent years; it's like all sorts of criminals have appeared around. But I know this is the case all over the country, and in some places it's even worse.

Before I could persuade the little girl, a thief ran towards us. After helping her out of another problem, her attitude improved significantly; she no longer treated me coldly.

But I want more!

As night fell and the city lights began to twinkle, in the hazy darkness, she turned to look at me, but not at me. Her gaze was deep and distant, as if she were looking at another world through me.

The complex and ethereal sorrow in her eyes weighed heavily on my heart, making me very sad. I didn't know who she was looking at through me, but I knew that person must have hurt her deeply for her to show such an expression.

If Fang Yu had met me first, I would never have hurt her so deeply as he did.

After I got back, I had someone look up Fang Yu's detailed information: her mother was a mistress who was driven to death by the wife, and the wife's child was miscarried. The wife blamed both of them for the miscarriage. She would beat and scold Fang Yu all the time, while her biological father just stood by and watched indifferently.

Seeing her past life fills me with rage. I desperately want to find Fang Yu right now and tell her that I will protect her from now on, and that no one will ever hurt her again.

But Fang Yu disappeared, vanished from my world. I originally wanted to ask my father for help, but I was afraid he would hurt her. After all, we're not from the same world, and my father has very strong class prejudices.

I had no choice but to hire a group of people to secretly search for Fang Yu. No matter what method I used, I still couldn't get any news about her.

I had no other choice but to gradually strip my father of his power. In the end, it took me two years to finally oust him.

I thought my father would be angry and fight back, but he didn't. He just took my mother and left.

I had no time to think about anything else; I quickly searched for Fang Yu's whereabouts. The power of family is indeed formidable! I found her trail in half a day. She had bought a villa in Yuncheng, hired servants, and was living a very comfortable life. I rushed over and bought a house across the street from hers.

I saw Fang Yu again, but she looked at me politely yet distantly, like a stranger.

I got a little angry and blurted out something about her parents.

I was wrong; I was a failed suitor. In order to ease tensions and get closer to her, I proposed a partnership.

Fang Yu didn't realize I liked her, but her younger brother did, and he tried everything to stop me.

At first, Fang Yu was wary of me, but she gradually realized my feelings. She bought a plane ticket and left the country, decisively and without hesitation, leaving me and her beloved younger brother behind.

His younger brother was outstanding; he quickly completed his studies and took over the Green Gang. In Yuncheng, he opposed me at every turn, trying to drive me out. I sensed his unusual feelings for his sister and stopped giving in, challenging him to a duel.

Fang Yu returned at this moment, even more beautiful than before, with a cold, elegant, and refined temperament.

I felt a moment of disorientation, as if I had known her for a long time.

This time when she returned, she never left again.

She died in a car accident.

When I heard this news, my mind went blank.

Many memories flooded back to me—sad, happy, and painful. It turns out we knew each other in a past life; her name was Qin Baobao, and mine was Xiao Junbai.

I've liked her since I was little, and I begged my dad to move our family to a place near hers. She loved to laugh, like a little angel. We became childhood sweethearts, going to school and playing together.

When she was ten, her mother died, and the smile on her face disappeared. I wanted to become the sun to warm her. I practiced in front of the mirror again and again, and my smile became warm and gentle. When I first showed her my smile, she was stunned. She probably thought my smile was beautiful too! I never told her that I had facial paralysis, afraid that she would dislike me and ignore me from then on.

Later, her father remarried, and she became increasingly unhappy. She often threw tantrums at home, and I felt sorry for her. She probably felt that her father had also abandoned her, so she secretly went abroad when she was 17.

I miss her so much. I called to ask where she was, but she wouldn't tell me.

Baby, please come back! I'm so lonely without you.

To get her back, I got engaged to her hated sister and made a mess of her father's company. I never expected my uncle to be in a car accident. When she came back, I didn't dare look her in the eye, afraid of her accusing gaze.

She didn't blame me, but I felt sad. I wanted to explain several times, but I didn't know how to start.

I helped her get revenge, and she agreed to be my fiancée again. I was overjoyed.

But our happiness was short-lived. That time we went to the amusement park together, she died in a car accident.

I don't know why, why is God so unfair to us?

Unlike last time, this time I still have a sliver of hope. Her brother is researching time machines, and I believe in him because I have no choice but to.

Ten years later, he finally finished. He wanted to be the first to try it out. I knew he was going to find her, but I wished I were the one going to find her.
