Tong Xiaoyu was shocked and turned back suddenly.

Ye Zhen stood in the shadow inside the door. He didn't know how long he had been listening. Only at this moment did he slowly raise his head.

He seemed to glance at Tong Xiaoyu, but also seemed not to.

That was a look of extreme weariness that no one had ever seen in his eyes.

Finally, his eyes fell on Ye Kong, and he said slowly: "I didn't know you were so good at scolding people."

"You underestimate me too much. If I really scold you, you will cry."

Ye Zhen seemed too lazy to say anything more and turned to leave.

Looking at his back that seemed extremely tired, Tong Xiaoyu suddenly felt an unprecedented panic in her heart. She subconsciously took half a step forward, but still couldn't say anything.

In a moment, Ye Zhen had walked away, revealing another figure who was also hiding behind the door.

It’s Fang Siwan.

All the anger from before had faded from her face. At this moment, Madam Ye was waving at Ye Kong calmly: "Baby, go home. Your brother will also be home for dinner today."

Ye Kong took a step forward.

When they passed each other, Tong Xiaoyu grabbed his sleeve.

She turned her head slightly and met Miss Tong's unprecedented hateful eyes.

"Why do you..." She gritted her teeth, tears gradually appearing in her eyes, "Why do you deny our seven years with just a few words? Why do you conclude that there is no love between us just by speculation?"

"You make such a sensible argument, but you just want to separate me and your brother completely. You just think I'm not worthy of him!"

"..."

Ye Kong grabbed her fingers and slowly moved them away: "First of all, that's not called conjecture, that's called reasonable inference based on reality - now, I have to add another reasoning result."

"Ms. Tong, what has kept you trapped for so many years is not your half-hearted love, but your fragile self-esteem."

She let go of Tong Xiaoyu's hand and strode into the building.

·

Fang Siwan grabbed Ye Kong's hand and said intimately, "Baby, what you said just now was really good."

She said, "Your brother will definitely not bother her anymore, and it will save me the energy to deal with her."

Ye Kong tilted his head with some interest: "What did mom originally plan to do?"

"We live in a society ruled by law now, so we must not do anything illegal," Fang Siwan said calmly, "but we can still find a way to get her out of the entertainment industry, so that she doesn't have to associate with your brother anymore."

"Why didn't you do this before?"

"It's all because of your brother, who is as stubborn as a bull. We can only be cautious." Fang Siwan said, "Now it's good, your brother really won't turn back, so I don't have to waste my energy."

She pulled Ye Kong into the car happily.

Ye Zhen was sitting in the back seat with his hat on, looking like he refused to communicate.

Fang Siwan was not angry either. She raised her voice meaningfully towards Ye Kong and said, "Hey, Kong Kong, let me tell you, love can only be had by those who are willing to give and give in."

"What your father did to me back then, that was true love! That's why young people nowadays are so self-righteous. They think that if they extend the timeline a little bit and kiss and quarrel with each other, then that's love - oh, don't be too funny..."

"Mom!" Ye Zhen couldn't sleep anymore, so he took off his hat and shouted in a long, angry voice.

Fang Siwan curled her lips and stopped talking.

Ye Zhen put his hat back on, and waited for the car to drive away for a while before he suddenly took off his hat again. He looked at Ye Kong's back and said, "How do you know so much? You speak so clearly."

He simply sat up, put one hand on the back of the chair behind Ye Kong, and asked suspiciously: "You didn't fall in love early in the past? You don't even have a dozen ex-boyfriends, do you?"

"..." Ye Kong turned his head and looked at this handsome face full of suspicion and resentment, and pulled the corner of his mouth, "I'm just smart."

Looking back at Fang Siwan's suddenly nervous gaze, she sighed: "Didn't I say it? Although I haven't experienced it myself, I have seen and watched other people's love."

Ye Zhen lay back doubtfully, snorted and said, "You are so confident that you dare to act like a close friend just because you have been a bystander."

After a long silence, he suddenly said, "But you are right."

Under the hat, the man's voice sounded calmly: "Think about it carefully, we have been haggling from the beginning, fearing that we have paid a little more than the other party."

"Perhaps we have never truly loved each other. We were just controlled by teenage hormones and were reluctant to come out of that illusion."

The other two remained silent.

But Ye Kong received Fang Siwan's happy and approving look.

She even gave her a thumbs-up and mouthed, "Well done!"

Ye Kong: ...

She really didn't come here to break up the couple.

It's just the opposite. She didn't want Tong Xiaoyu to be implicated because of some stupid and childish manuscript, so she came here specifically to be a firefighter.

Who knew it would become like this without me noticing.

But I managed to accomplish the task.

Ye Kong was thinking about it, and heard Ye Zhen's voice like a dream again: "Can people really meet that kind of love?"

"True love is when one is willing to give everything for the other person, regardless of gains or losses."

Ye Kong also fell silent.

Fang Siwan said with great certainty: "Yes."

She smiled and said, "I have encountered it, haven't I? My children will definitely encounter it too."

"This is not something that can be inherited genetically." Ye Zhen complained.

"Then..." Ye Kong suddenly brought up an irrelevant topic, "Do you want to investigate further? The writer for Huaye Magazine?"

"...I won't check it anymore." Ye Zhen said calmly, "Anyway, the more I care, the more exaggerated things that person might write."

“And the current public opinion will always disappear.”

He took a deep breath and exhaled, "I suddenly feel a lot more relaxed."

After getting off the car, Ye Zhen called Ye Kong at the door.

The hat blocked his eyes, leaving only his slightly open thin lips visible.

He said softly, "Thank you."

"Whether you defended Tong Xiaoyu in front of mom or said something for me, I will remember it in my heart."

Ye Kong: ...

what……

She thought with a wandering look: It’s not for you.

"Also," Ye Zhen raised his head, his deep eyes under his golden hair staring straight at Ye Kong, "I still owe you an apology - for that slap."

"..." Ye Kong's wandering eyes slowly shifted back.

But there was still no expression on her face, and she just let him finish his words.

"No matter what the reason is, I shouldn't have done that to you," Ye Zhen said, "It won't happen again."

He looked very unexperienced and must have rarely, or perhaps never, apologized to anyone before. However, he was trying hard to suppress his instinctive arrogance and act natural and sincere.

The whole person looked like a large dog with its muzzle muzzled, with an awkward vibe all over his body that made him look like his fur was about to explode.

Ye Kong didn't speak for a long time.

The sun was shining brightly in front of the villa, but there was a strange silence.

Ye Zhen's face darkened soon after he could no longer hold back his anger: "Say something."

"Hmm..." Ye Kong blinked and smiled, "Actually, you don't need to apologize..."

"How can that be? I..."

"Because from the moment you start, everything is over."

She turned and walked through the iron gate.

Ye Zhen stood there in a daze, and suddenly looked up after a moment: "What's over?"

"Of course it's our relationship."

The girl walked into the house without looking back, and the faint aftertaste of her voice lingered in Ye Zhen's ears, causing him to suddenly feel a slight chill rising from the depths of his heart.

Inexplicably, he suddenly recalled what Ye Kong said after that slap.

[Originally, I should have gotten back ten times the amount, but since we are related by blood, it was cancelled out.]

"offset?"

Ye Zhen murmured these two words.

It was not until this moment that he finally vaguely understood what was offset by the slap on Ye Kong's body.

Under the scorching sun, Actor Ye suddenly had the illusion of falling into an icy lake.
