Yan Jinyi and Huo Xishen discuss plans for a new nursery, while Huo Zihang arrives to visit Tan Sangsang and Mumu, hoping to stay the night.

“Mom, why are you betraying me like this? It’s Third Young Master Huo we’re talking about; surely he can afford a hotel room for the night.” Tan Sangsang’s voice trembled with anxiety.

Mrs. Tan offered a comforting smile. “It’s not about the cost, dear. Mumu needs a complete family, and he desires both his parents to be by his side.”

Mumu was Tan Sangsang's Achilles' heel. She knew how deeply Tan Sangsang felt for Huo Zihang.

“Whatever. It has nothing to do with me,” Tan Sangsang declared, though a hint of resignation colored her tone.

!!

Huo Zihang found himself accommodated in Tan Sangsang’s room, just as he had wished. His curiosity, akin to that of a cat, led him to explore the modest space, barely ten square meters. After a thorough inspection, his gaze settled on a corner above a bookshelf.

There sat a photo album, appearing quite aged. He carefully retrieved it, revealing the initial pages filled with early photographs of Mumu as an infant. Huo Zihang became completely absorbed in the images. 'Was Mumu really this small once?'

As he continued to turn the pages, he discovered photos of Tan Sangsang. Some depicted her holding Mumu, while others showed her with Yan Jinyi before her marriage. Suddenly, Huo Zihang’s eyes locked onto a particular photograph.

It was a picture of Tan Sangsang, unadorned by makeup, seemingly taken during her teenage years. She appeared rather plump in the image.

So, Tan Sangsang had been chubby in her youth. 'Why does this chubby girl look so familiar?' he mused.

The subsequent photos featured Tan Sangsang with her family. After a swift perusal, Huo Zihang’s attention shifted to a locked diary resting alongside the album.

Among the album's contents were also photographs of veteran celebrities, whom he surmised must have been Tan Sangsang's former idols. The diary's passcode, a mere four digits, proved elusive. He tried the birthdates of Tan Sangsang, Mumu, and Yan Jinyi, all without success.

“She’s such a straightforward person; she probably wouldn’t use a complicated passcode,” he reasoned aloud. As if guided by an unseen force, Huo Zihang decided to try his own birthdate. With a distinct click, the diary sprang open.

Its pages were filled with Tan Sangsang’s small, neat handwriting. ‘I deliberately passed by the court today, hoping to discard some trash and perhaps catch a glimpse of him. I actually saw him. Wonderful.’‘He seems to be dating the school belle. When will I ever be his type?’

…The entries detailed Tan Sangsang's adolescent emotions. Huo Zihang felt a pang of irritation. 'Is she rejecting me because she's still hung up on this person?' He had already looked into it; Tan Sangsang had attended the same university as him, though he had left for further studies abroad in his second year.

'Is this person from my old university?' Resisting the urge to feel jealous, he continued flipping through the pages, only to find that nearly every entry revolved around Tan Sangsang’s one-sided affection.

“He’s already got a new girlfriend so quickly. What a scoundrel. What kind of a fool does that silly girl fall for?” Huo Zihang couldn’t help but exclaim. A few pages later, he abruptly halted.

“Huo Zihang, I am in love with you.”

These seven words alone sent Huo Zihang on an emotional rollercoaster. 'So she had a crush on me?' 'Right, I remember now.''No wonder she looked so familiar as a chubby child. I was the one who rescued that plump girl from bullies at the bar.' He recalled even mocking the boys for their poor taste at the time.

Huo Zihang quickly retrieved his phone and dialed Yan Jinyi. “Second Sister-in-law, has Sangsang harbored a crush on me for a long time? She’s always liked me, hasn’t she?”

Yan Jinyi, on the verge of sleep, was jolted awake by the call. She took a deep breath, raising her phone. “Screw you, Huo Zihang! I want to sleep, whether you do or not. Are you asking for a beating? If you keep making noise, I’ll toss you into the river and let the fish feast on you!”
