No, it’s not too late yet.
Xiao Zifeng stared at the person in front of him.
For five years, he had waited patiently for this person.
In the past five years, he had exhausted all types of methods to find her, even resorting to using his family connections to locate her.
Yet, he still failed.
That year was probably the most listless year that he had ever been through.
He regretted not confessing to this person that he liked her when they were both in school.
Since the time when she first won an argument against him, he had madly fallen in love with this woman.
Even though he did not openly declare his love, those who were close to him knew he only had Helian Wei Wei in his heart.
At first, he thought his feelings for her were simply a teenager crush.
After all, he kept thinking about her because she had better knowledge than him in his field of expertise.
In the beginning, their relationship was not that great, because he could not find a way to approach her.
He was surrounded by too many people, but he could not even give up on this feeling accordingly.
Xiao Zifeng felt that problems usually would arise and relationships would turn ugly once a person became intimate with women of exceptional talents.
He might not have liked her that much, but he always felt a heart-warming sensation whenever he thought of seeing her on that day.
Since he was a child, Xiao Zifeng had always been a very thoughtful person because of his family background. He was mature for his age, and clearly knew what he wanted for his future.
Meeting Helian Wei Wei was probably the only anomaly that he had encountered in his life.
He wanted to control this unforeseen change, hence he planned to get close to Helian Wei Wei.
However, the closer he was to Helian Wei Wei, the more uncontrollable his feeling became.
And at that moment, he knew he was doomed…
Du Sisi saw through Xiao Zifeng’s feelings clearly. They came from the same compound, and she too had fallen in love with him, who was a son of the military compound’s rear admiral, since a long time ago.
In her mind, she always had this impression that he was very calm in everything that he did. Although both of them stayed in the same compound, his status was much higher than hers.
He was undeniably the youngest leader of this entire military compound, and even the cadets that left this military district would address him as Young Master Xiao.

Nonetheless, there came a day when this man, usually calm and composed, nervously asked her if she had Helian Wei Wei’s contact number.
On that particular day, Du Sisi was still feeling pleased with herself that she could invite him to her birthday celebration.
Xiao Zifeng’s words felt like a basin of cold water that drowned all of her feelings. From that day onward, Du Sisi, who had disliked Helian Wei Wei from the beginning, despised this woman even more now. At that time, she was best friends with Li Meng. Knowing that her best friend also liked Xiao Zifeng, she ‘unintentionally’ leaked this information to the latter.
Sure enough, the effect of her action became apparent swiftly. With the help of Li Meng, they succeeded in stopping most female students from talking to Helian Wei Wei.
Especially in the dormitory, where ostracizing her would hurt her the most.
No matter how strong Helian Wei Wei was, she could not escape this kind of suffocating atmosphere.
During that period, Du Sisi was extremely happy.
However, after seeing how Xiao Zifeng was gazing at her now, her joy turned into resentment and jealousy that had never left her.
She and Li Meng glanced at each other, and laughed, saying, “Zi Feng, you should think clearly about it. The people around you are not suitable for her. You should at least find someone that matches her. You may not know that after Wei Wei left school, she is now working as a mechanic. Hence, it would be difficult for her to enter our industry now. So, you shouldn’t simply get any wealthy bachelors for her, I’m afraid that she’ll be bullied.”
“Sisi, that is so thoughtful of you. Why have I not thought of this? With Wei Wei’s situation now, it would be hard for her to fit into a wealthy household,” Li Meng looked at Xiao Zifeng and said, “Well, how about if I…”
“It’s fine.” Before Li Meng’s could finish her sentence, Helian Wei Wei’s opened her mouth to interrupt her. Her voice was clear, and with her trademark smile, she dismissed their superfluous intentions, saying, “I already have a boyfriend. So, if you’re thinking of introducing a partner for me, please just forget about it.”
Xiao Zifeng’s face froze. He wanted desperately to ask her feelings for him, but he could no longer utter it now. He could only stare at Helian Weiwei’s eyes with mixed feelings.
He could even feel the stinging pain, when the anguish that he had hidden deep in his heart extended to the tip of his tongue.
Unlike Xiao Zifeng’s feelings, Li Meng’s thoughts were much more straightforward. She had sent someone to inquire about Helian Wei Wei at her son’s school. The class teacher and school counselors had mentioned that this woman had completed the registration procedure for her son’s enrollment all by herself, and they had never seen her with any other person. It was even noted in her file that she was single and unmarried. How could she get a boyfriend in just two short days?
Li Meng made it very obvious that she did not believe Helian Wei Wei, as she glanced at Helian Wei Wei’s expression and the others’ reactions. Then, she clasped her hands and said, “Wei Wei, I know that you don’t want all of us here to worry about you, but you don’t have to do this. You must give yourself a chance. I’ve always seen you taking care of Qingchen all by yourself, how could you possibly have a boyfriend suddenly? ”
As soon as Li Meng’s words were said, other classmates looked at Helian Wei Wei incredulously and started to make assumptions of her situation. After all, nowadays, some people would make up some non-existent happenings to get out of difficult situations.
Undeniably, they all thought that Helian Wei Wei was trying to salvage her dignity. Hence, she claimed that she already had a boyfriend when in actual fact, her ‘boyfriend’ did not exist.
The expressions of several classmates changed when they came to this conclusion.
Du Sisi immediately said, “Wei Wei, there’s nothing wrong with being single, we understand your feelings. You have grown up, and don’t want others to know that you are raising a kid by yourself. However, with all things considered, this is a good opportunity. We have better resources since everyone is here, there’s nothing to be shy about.”
Du Sisi’s words may sound innocent to some, but for people that had been out in the society, they would know there was a hidden meaning behind them. In reality, they were quite scathing and would make a person uncomfortable.
Helian Wei Wei naturally understood her true meaning, but she had no intention of continuing the conversation with this kind of person. Not to mention, her mobile phone was ringing in her bag, so Helian Wei Wei had no time for Du Sisi. This was another call from Little Shangxie, so she turned sideways and answered the call.
“Mom, I want to come to see you and little brother, I miss both of you.” Baili Shangxie’s voice was emotionless, and sounded strangely unnatural. Actually, when he received that person’s instructions, he had become even more determined to run away from home. He took a look at the person beside him, and continued to read the message from a piece of paper, word by word, “Can I ask dad to send me over?”
“Now?” Helian Wei Wei frowned.
“Yes, right now…”
