Ye Jingmo took the earliest flight back to S Province, and it was barely dawn when he arrived back at his residential area.

Ye Jingmo, guessing that Jiang Li hadn't gotten up yet, bought her favorite shumai and tofu pudding at the entrance of the residential area.

The breakfast stalls at the entrance of the residential area are always the preferred place for nearby workers to buy breakfast because of their delicious food and cheap prices.

Especially the freshly made shumai, which is filled with fresh pork, shrimp and glutinous rice. One bite and you're greeted with a fresh, sweet and sticky flavor that leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

The tofu pudding is also made fresh daily; the smooth tofu paired with the sweet syrup makes it irresistible to eat one bite after another.

These two star products sell out before 9 a.m. every day.

Jiang Li loves to eat, but most of the time she can't get out of bed, so Ye Jingmo, who goes for a morning run, brings her food.

Ye Jingmo, dressed in a smart and well-tailored black suit, exuded an imposing aura that drew the attention of everyone queuing up.

Some urban women couldn't help but blush when they saw Ye Jingmo's long, straight legs, which were accentuated by his suit and subtly revealed his muscles.

The breakfast stall owner greeted Ye Jingmo familiarly as soon as he saw him: "You're still ordering a basket of shumai and two bowls of tofu pudding to go, right?"

Ye Jingmo nodded, took the breakfast handed to him by the shop owner, paid the money, and turned to leave.

Someone approached the shop owner and asked about Ye Jingmo. The shop owner replied directly:

"Don't bother, he already has a girlfriend. He comes to queue up for breakfast every morning without fail, just because his girlfriend can't get out of bed, so he brings her home every day."

This sentence instantly pierced the hearts of countless single people like arrows.

Jiang Li, who had gone to bed early yesterday, had already gotten up, washed up, and straightened her back as she leaned against the back of her chair.

She knew that Ye Jingmo promised to come back today and would definitely arrive, and there was a high chance he would be on the earliest flight.

Jiang Li didn't want Ye Jingmo to come back at all; she was still lying in bed sleeping soundly.

Ye Jingmo can be said to be the person Jiang Li trusts most in the world, without exception.

She and Ye Jingmo were childhood sweethearts, growing up together. Ye Jingmo was five years older than her, and their families were neighbors. Ye Jingmo's parents died early, and he was raised by his grandmother. The two families had a very close relationship.

When Jiang Li was little, her parents were busy with work, so they often asked Ye Jingmo's grandmother to take care of her. It can be said that Jiang Li spent a lot of her childhood playing at Ye Jingmo's house.

Ye Jingmo's grandmother passed away when he was eighteen. She passed away quietly in her sleep, without any pain.

After Jiang Lijia and Ye Jingmo held the funeral, Ye Jingmo went to military school.

After Jiang Li's parents died in a plane crash, and Jiang Li was left isolated and helpless, Ye Jingmo returned from his military service and took care of everything for her.

Ye Jingmo started a logistics company with her partners, relying on her own abilities. But no matter how busy she was with work, Ye Jingmo would always go home to take care of Jiang Li.

They are as close as family, and they are the only ones in the world who can rely on each other.

Hearing the faint sound of the key being inserted into the lock, Jiang Li felt her heart leap into her throat, and her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

When Ye Jingmo opened the door and entered Jiang Li's home, he immediately saw Jiang Li sitting on the sofa in a light blue casual outfit, clearly waiting for him.

It seems Jiang Li has something important to tell him; the last time this happened was when Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang passed away.

The young girl sat silently on the sofa until he arrived, at which point she burst into tears and told him that her parents were gone and she was all alone at home.

Jiang Li originally thought that he would cry silently or hug Ye Jingmo and cry bitterly when he saw him, but at this moment she just wanted to stare at this figure greedily.

Ye Jingmo placed the breakfast he was carrying on the table and naturally sat down next to Jiang Li.

Ye Jingmo, sitting on the sofa, had muscles that were faintly visible beneath his black suit. He had strong arms and a slender waist, and his long legs, slightly open, were resting against the edge of the sofa.

Jiang Li's voice trembled almost imperceptibly: "Brother Mo, you've come so early?"

Ye Jingmo sensed the complex emotions hidden in Jiang Li's words, including fear, longing, and worry.

Ye Jingmo reached out and gently stroked Jiang Li's head, just as he had done when he comforted her countless times when she was a child. He said softly, "What happened? Tell me, and I'll do everything I can to help you!"

His eyes were like a dark sea churning with huge waves. What had happened to make his childhood sweetheart so strange?

Isn't she currently preparing her graduation thesis?

Could it be that someone at school is bullying her? Ye Jingmo had a variety of guesses in her mind.

Hearing Ye Jingmo's voice, Jiang Li felt like a child who had found an adult to support her, "Brother Mo, I miss you so much."

"You know how hard it is for me to keep going without you by my side..."

Jiang Li's voice choked with emotion as she tried to recount all the bitterness and hardship she had endured during the five years of the apocalypse.

Hearing Jiang Li's words, all of Ye Jingmo's original guesses were shattered.

He was only away on a business trip for three days, wasn't he? Why does it sound like we've never met in our entire lives, based on Jiang Li's description?

Ye Jingmo rested Jiang Li's head on his shoulder and wiped away the tears that streamed down her delicate face with his slightly rough hands.

His chest felt tight and painful. What had happened to his little sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, somewhere he didn't know?

Ye Jingmo gently patted Jiang Li's back with his large hand, "What exactly happened?"
