..."

"After knowing each other for so long, she always understood Daniel Davis’s feelings for her. How could she not be moved? If she weren’t moved, she wouldn’t have agreed to be with Daniel Davis, nor would she have tried to forget Camden River for his sake.

Have I forgotten?

How could someone so brilliant be easily forgotten?

But—

It’s just a matter of time.

Tong Tong, it’s all a matter of time.

From thinking about him every second before, to thinking about him every moment later, and then eventually only remembering him occasionally, like now, where she would only think of him under certain complicated emotions.

Missing him a little less each day, that’s progress. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Every step she takes toward Daniel Davis is a step further away from Camden River.

Each step she takes actually requires courage, but essentially, each step taken is based on long mental consideration and struggle, and after each step, she rarely regrets it.

Because knowing there’s no going back, no longer holding onto hope, she regrets less and less.

Someone like Camden River is the most dazzling presence in her life, yet also the most painful memory.

This kind of emotion is essentially self-imposed entrapment, and as long as there’s a thread of sanity and clarity, anyone trapped within would strive to escape, to attempt to break free and transform. Daniel Davis should be the one who can help her out of this predicament.

Tong Tong pressed her lips tightly together, thinking silently.

Daniel Davis unlocked the car and opened the passenger side door, and she got in with a flushed face.

"Seatbelt." Daniel Davis got in the driver’s seat, looked at her with gentle eyes, and reminded her with a smile.

Tong Tong fastened the seatbelt.

The gentle smile in Daniel Davis’s eyes grew deeper.

Under the night sky—

The silver-gray car drove out of the campus gate.

The night in Cloud Capital was always bustling, with traffic on the streets and neon lights flashing by the roadside.

Quarter past nine.

Daniel Davis took Tong Tong home.

The standalone villa was nestled in warm lighting and surrounded by tall landscape trees. Inside was pitch-black, the surroundings were quiet, and there seemed to be the distant sound of crickets chirping. Tong Tong could hear her own breathing.

A bit nervous, a bit rushed.

"This is your first time here." Daniel Davis held her hand, and her palm was sweaty.

Daniel Davis looked at her with a bit of surprise, and said with a soft smile, "Nervous, huh? Brother Davis doesn’t bite. I promised to respect you, so I naturally won’t do anything against my promise. Relax, okay?"

"I’m just... a bit hot." Tong Tong pursed her lips, glanced at him, and explained.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a bit like she had given herself away.

What exactly is she nervous about?

This is her first time spending the night alone with a man, still a boyfriend she’s currently dating. Maybe, after this night, many things will become different. She didn’t want to; she was originally very resistant to such intimacy in her heart.

But—

Somehow, standing in the gentle evening breeze, she felt a sudden impulse.

Throughout these years, she had never acted impulsively. She was the well-behaved girl in the eyes of her parents and friends. But that didn’t mean she never had impulsive thoughts. The reason she followed the rules was simply repression.

Should she act on impulse for once?

If she acted on impulse, Brother Davis would definitely be overjoyed, and Camden River would forever remain in her memories.

In this way, she could truly and fully commit.

With such incredibly complex feelings, Tong Tong gripped Daniel Davis’s hand tightly and followed him up the steps into the house. Before Daniel Davis could turn on the lights, she hugged his waist from behind.

She didn’t say a word, and Daniel Davis held her tightly entwined fingers.
