When she heard Jun Zixuan saying those words, she was so lost to react. It felt kind of comforting when he held her like that.

She did not know how long has it been since she felt so calm. From the day she woke up in this body and found herself in the new place surrounded by unfamiliar people, she had prepared for the worst. She knew she had lost everything. Her mind was in chaos even when she acted calmly.

Her brother, her wealth, her company, everything was gone in a flash. She was a nobody in a moment.

But having him in the picture had overturned everything. She had felt inexplicable happiness and excitement when she came to know that she was going to meet Jun Zixuan who was always been like an angel in her life, back in those dull university days, he had been her sunshine.

But the supposed angel acted like a devil with her. He treated her harshly, was cold and indifferent, and always spoke those bitter words that had her fume within a second.

She had thought they would be back to being friends but they were more like enemies who fought with each other on every point.

She got to know the sides of Jun Zixuan she never knew before.

He was not the kind and gentle man she knew. He was stubborn, arrogant, cold and she could barely speak to him for a few words without wanting to punch him in the face.

But despite all the fights, it was his embrace that had always given peace to her insecure heart.

Be it that night in Shanghai when they slept on the swing wrapped in a blanket or be it that night when she had run to his room after waking up from her nightmare.

She realized that she never knew his true self. All she knew is what he was showing himself to be back in those university days.

Jun Zixuan was not gentle at all. Grumpy, moody, petty...he never left an opportunity to pull her leg, to taunt her but he was the same person who would rather eat the disgusting food made by her than letting her know that it didn't taste good so that she won't be sad.

He was sometimes approachable but sometimes he would have a big 'Don't come near me or you will be dead' poster on his face. But when she burnt her hand, he immediately ran towards her, forgetting all his anger.

Cunning and Complicated. The weird man kicked her out of his house in a fit of anger but would rather spend a hefty amount of money to have her eat good food and stay in a proper place without even letting her know.

Angel or Devil. Whatever he was, to her, he has always been that brightest ray of sunshine on winter days.

The one you would wake up to with a soft smile on your face, hoping for your day ahead to go well.

There was not a single day in these two months when she hadn't taken that purple rose out to look at it and think about him.

He would pamper her, listen to her unnecessary grumblings at times, dote on her like she was a treasure. How could she not realize it?

She had to be blind to not only know that he treated her so differently from the rest. Whether she was ugly and fat or beautiful, the way he looked at her never changed. It was like she has been the prettiest woman he ever laid his eyes on.

How could her heart not melt?

She leaned closer to him as he hugged her from the back, his arms wrapped around her waist as he peppered soft kisses on her neck.

"Mei?" The familiar voice caused Yu Mei to snap out of her daze.

She stiffened.

"Zixuan…"

"Mm?" His mouth was beside her ear, causing a tingling sensation while he spoke.

"Let go," He obviously heard the voice. Why was he still holding her like that?

"I don't feel like letting go," He nuzzled his nose on the nook of her neck.

She could feel the goosebumps on her body in an instant, "Stop it. It's ticklish," She spoke in a hushed voice.

"I just realized that it's so easy to tickle you," He chuckled softly.

"Mei?"

Yu Mei straightened her back, "Jun Zixuan, let go," she coldly said.

Heaving a soft sigh, the man reluctantly let go of her before standing straight with his hand tucked inside his pocket as he leaned back on the car.

Yu Mei turned around, "Hey, Luoluo," She smiled stiffly.

Shi Luo smiled as she walked around the car before approaching Yu Mei, "I missed you so much. But I could not contact you because of my busy schedule. I have three days off now. Let's hang out, okay?"

"Okay."

As Shi Luo hugged her, her nose twitched slightly taking in the manly scent, "You reek of him, I guess," She said, pointing her chin towards the man standing beside Yu Mei with dark clouds hovering above his head, "Must be the aftereffects of all the hugging and licking he did on you."

Yu Mei choked on her saliva, "It's nothing like that," she quickly said, her actions were a bit flustered.

Shi Luo laughed before shaking her head, "Your hickeys speak otherwise," She had recognized Jun Zixuan the moment she spotted his striking ash-blonde hair but he seemed to be holding someone in his arms that had her hesitate for a moment.

But then she remembered that she was standing in front of the Imperial University and the realization hit her that this woman must be Yu Mei, around whom the man has been hovering lately.

Yu Mei put her palm on her neck, "I…" No wonder the servants, back in the mansion were looking at her like that, "It's a mosquito bite," She inwardly cursed Jun Zixuan. This cunning man must have done this on purpose to tease her.

Shi Luo glanced at Jun Zixuan before nodding, "A big handsome mosquito for you. Nice indeed," She chuckled.
