Sweetness came flooding in like a tide, accompanied by the relationship between the two of them.

  They are enemies, perhaps lifelong enemies.

  Wen Qi clearly knew that she shouldn't get entangled with He Mingzhen again, but the emotions she couldn't suppress would always burst forth inopportunely.

  Five years, neither short nor long.

  When Wen Qi deeply felt that her whole heart was grasped in someone's hand, what was left for her was only being cautious and melancholy.

  The air conditioner in the car was turned on properly, neither cold nor hot, and the humming sound mixed with the car horn outside the window.

  After getting off the overpass, another traffic jam scene appeared before our eyes.

  "It seems like we're going to be stuck for a while again." He Mingzhen stopped the car, raised his wrist to glance at the time, and incidentally turned on the in-car music.

  "Listen to this, it's hypnotic." He turned his face back with a smile, intentionally lowering the volume.

  A gentle and soothing piano melody floated around the two of them.

  Looking at He Mingzhen's face that was as handsome as a demon, Wen Qi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if she had lost her rhythm.

  Suddenly, she wanted to ask him a question that had been weighing on her mind for a long time. "You don't dislike me, do you?"

  In a space that was completely sealed off from the outside world, Wen Qi held her breath and focused all her attention, waiting for what felt like an eternity, during which time she could even hear the sound of her own heartbeat ringing out loud and clear.

  He Mingzhen didn't respond, a warm smile lingering in her eyes as she suddenly changed direction and reached out to touch her slightly chubby face. "Why ask this all of a sudden?"

  "I want to know... after all, what happened with my father back then, I'm really sorry."

  He Mingzhen seemed to have heard a huge joke and burst out laughing, "Ah, sorry, so you mean, want to atone for your father's sins?"

  "Wen Qi originally wanted to say 'I can make up for it', but at this time, her mind was a mess, and the words that came out were different."

  "I can stay by your side."

  He Mingzhen slightly paused, and then said in a gentle tone: "Alright, you can stay, but be good."

  At first, Wen Qi didn't understand the meaning behind his words "be good" that night, thinking it was just literal and wanting her to listen. It wasn't until later when everything was revealed that she realized he meant more than just listening.

  What He Mingzhen wanted was for her body and mind to completely obey him, without any disobedience.

  Tomorrow there is a graduation ceremony, so He Mingzhen sent her back to school early tonight.

  The car stopped at the school gate as usual, and Wen Qi picked up her coat and got out of the car.

  "Happy graduation." He Mingzhen said to her before getting off the car.

  "Thank you." Wen Qiyan smiled and suddenly had an idea, asking: "Are you coming over tomorrow?"

  "Professor He."

  It's been a long time since she was called that, He Mingzhen couldn't even remember the last time he heard her being referred to in this way.

  It was when Wen Qi had just entered university that he could hear it every day, but after resigning, he no longer had this title.

  He Mingzhen smoothed her long hair and said softly, "It's over. I'll come pick you up."

  The implication was that he wouldn't be coming, and Wen Qi understood his meaning perfectly, so she didn't continue to pester him about it.

  As the school gate was about to close, a small figure quickly slipped in and soon disappeared from He Mingzhen's line of sight.

  At this time, the phone rang, He Mingzhen withdrew his gaze, neither hastily nor slowly, and pressed the answer button.

  A commotion came from outside, followed by the voice of the nurse on duty: "Dr. He! Emergency!"
