Shen Manbing was waiting in Xia Yangyang’s lounge, obviously for her.

Xia Yangyang put down her bag: “Did you need to see me about something?”

“Yangyang, I still want to apologize.”

“You are saying that for your brother, aren’t you? Let bygones be bygones.”

Shen Manbing’s emotions were tangled: “I finally understand why Ah Chen is so fond of you. You have a magnanimity that most people don’t possess.”

Xia Yangyang laughed: “Don’t wrongly accuse me. In reality, I am very petty. I deliberately made you owe me a favor, it makes things easier to be managed in the future.”

Shen Manbing also laughed: “Don’t worry. In fact, over these days, I finally realized that Ah Chen has never loved me. It was when I saw him loving you, that I understood. Towards me, it has always been brotherly protection. Towards you, it was love, filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Did you know? Even though I was nominally with him for so many years, he never once got jealous over me. He said he understood my actress status, but in reality, he simply did not love me.”

Xia Yangyang quietly listened.

A hint of helplessness appeared on Shen Manbing’s lips: “I know it in my heart, but I myself am unwilling to let go. Do you know why I like Ah Chen? You know, when I was five years old, I was pushed from the top floor of the villa by my aunt and fell into the outdoor swimming pool. I almost drowned. It was Ah Chen who saved me. Actually, I was unconscious by then, I couldn’t see his face clearly, all I remember is the feeling of drowning. I was clutching his collar as if I was clutching at life-saving straws. When people are desperate, they form excessive dependends on something. He is my hero, so I have loved him for so many years.”

Yet, Xia Yangyang frowned: “There is something, perhaps I should tell you.”

Shen Manbing paused: “What is it?”

“About the drowning incident when you were five, I later asked Ah Chen. His version seems to differ from yours.”

Shen Manbing’s face changed: “What do you mean?”

“Ah Chen said that the one who saved you from the water was not him, but your brother Shen Shichuan. He was late, and by the time he arrived, Shen Shichuan was frantically trying to save you. You had drowned for four minutes. He thought you were not going to make it and almost went crazy.”

Shen Manbing was suddenly stunned.

How could this be possible.

Shen Manbing, in disbelief, said: “My big brother doesn’t swim.”

“Ah Chen said that he had no idea how your big brother managed to save you either. At that time, he clearly couldn’t swim, yet he was soaked to the skin. Who else could it have been but him?”

Shen Manbing seemed to have taken a huge shock.

In all these years, the blurry image of that teenage boy remained in his memory.

She had always thought it was Gu Qichen.

Shen Manbing murmured: “But when I woke up, the first person I saw was Ah Chen.”

Xia Yangyang let out a sigh: “That’s because when Shen Shichuan saw you wake up, he couldn’t control himself and ran to the backyard where he started crying. He thought he almost lost you.”

Shen Manbing was completely stunned like she had been hit with a spell.

How could this be? For so many years, Gu Qichen has been her superhero.

And thus, she never could persuade herself to let go.

Even though she was only five years old at the time of the drowning incident, that feeling is still vivid in her memory. Whenever she thinks of it, the desperate and panicking feeling from the bottom of her heart still wraps her tightly.

It would be more accurate to say that she has used Gu Qichen as her life-saving straw, rather than she loves Gu Qichen.

However, she got the wrong person. Her superhero turned out to be Shen Shichuan, her big brother who has always been protecting her with his life.
