The Epoch of Miyu

After carrying Xu Miyu to the bed, Ji Feng began rummaging through the room—drawers, wardrobes, storage spaces, even the safe.

When he returned to the bedside, his arms were filled with a large assortment of chocolates.

He spread his arms, and the chocolates rained down onto the bed.

Xu Miyu stared at the chocolates, both surprised and delighted, then looked up at Ji Feng and asked, "Why did you buy so many chocolates?"

Ji Feng put on a deliberately cold expression and said arrogantly, "I passed by them while on a business trip and just bought them on a whim."

Xu Miyu sifted through the chocolates, picked out a few varieties, held them up, and looked at Ji Feng as she retorted, "You're not telling the truth! These kinds of chocolates aren’t sold in the same place, and you can’t find them without putting in effort. It seems to me that you deliberately searched for local chocolates to bring back every time you went on a business trip, just because I love them!"

As she spoke, she unwrapped one of the chocolates and popped a piece into her mouth.

It melted instantly, its sweet flavor intoxicatingly delightful, a sweetness that seeped straight into her heart.

Xu Miyu smiled at Ji Feng.

That smile made Ji Feng lose all self-control. He pushed her down, sealed her lips with his, and his tongue probed inward, seeking to steal the sweetness from her mouth.

The sweetness of the chocolate melted between their lips and teeth, plunging them both into a state of dizzying infatuation.

The wind and rain outside the window had subsided, and the room had returned to quiet. Xu Miyu and Ji Feng held each other close.

He held her, burying his head in the crook of her neck, while her chin rested on his shoulder.

Xu Miyu raised her hand and pressed it against Ji Feng’s chest, feeling his pounding heartbeat as she softly asked, "Didn’t you say you had something to tell me?"

Her voice carried a soft, husky undertone.

Ji Feng’s breath brushed gently against her neck: "I already told you in the tunnel—you have to take responsibility for me for the rest of your life."

Xu Miyu lightly tapped him: "That was just an on-the-spot revision, wasn’t it? I want to hear the original version." Her voice, both coquettish and stubborn, made Ji Feng’s bones go weak and his spine tingle.

He lifted his head from her neck and looked down at her face from above.

He raised his hand to caress her flushed cheeks, gazed into her eyes, and couldn’t resist lowering his head to kiss her again.

As he entered her once more, he pressed close to her ear and murmured in a magnetic voice the words he had always wanted to say to her:

"Xu Miyu, I love you. Let’s fall in love again, with marriage as our goal!"

Xu Miyu trembled all over. From her spirit to her body, she wholeheartedly agreed.

Early the next morning, Xu Miyu woke up in Ji Feng’s arms.

When she opened her eyes, she was startled to find Ji Feng watching her.

She couldn’t help but raise her hands to cover her face.

Ji Feng pulled her hands down and teased her: "It’s not the first time we’ve been together, so why are you still acting like a shy little girl? Do you know I love you like this, so you’re catering to my preferences?"

Xu Miyu immediately stopped feeling shy and began playfully hitting him.

Ji Feng chuckled softly and held her close.

Xu Miyu asked him, "Why were you staring at me? You ended up waking me up with your gaze."

She expected Ji Feng to tease her again, but instead, he grew serious and said, "When I opened my eyes this morning and looked at you, I suddenly felt terrified again. I was thinking, what would I have done if yesterday’s rain had really taken you away from me?"He held her tightly, his voice grave and earnest: "Xu Miyu, listen carefully. From now on, you must live well, live vigorously, and you must die after me, understand?" After a pause, he caressed her hair and back with his other hand, his tone softening with deep emotion, "If you die before me, what would I do?"

Xu Miyu felt waves of numbness, ache, and overwhelming tenderness in her heart.

She looked up into his eyes and said, "If I die before you, just find someone else—someone perfect, pure, and beautiful."

Ji Feng seemed instantly angered, warning her: "Don't talk nonsense." He cupped her face, his thumb gently stroking her cheek as he spoke words that were both a confession and a promise, "You're more pure and perfect than anyone. I don't want anyone else, only you."

These words immediately stirred another wave of morning intimacy between them.

After a day of rest, Xu Miyu went to the Housekeeping Department the next day to verify the accommodation arrangements for Duan Aoxiang's event.

Just as she was about to leave after finishing her business, she was intercepted by Ke Wenxue, who had been lying in wait outside the Housekeeping office.

Along with Ke Wenxue were others, and they cornered Xu Miyu at the end of the hallway.

He pulled her from his embrace, looked into her eyes and said, "Their family made me understand that while we're alive, we should cherish the present and treasure those before us."

After speaking, he lowered his head and captured her lips in a tender, lingering kiss.

Xu Miyu closed her eyes and thought, how happy she felt at this moment.

On the day of Duan Aoxiang's event, Xu Miyu noticed many guests had attended the cocktail party that night, with some bringing their wives along. Consequently, numerous people had already seen Xu Miyu that evening, and two or three had even participated in mocking her.

When Ji Feng found out, he wanted to rush over and pummel Duan Aoxiang, but Xu Miyu stopped him in time.

"I think he's doing this deliberately," Ji Feng said indignantly. "Doesn't he know some of these people humiliated you?"

Xu Miyu reasoned with Ji Feng: "His event is targeted at capable, wealthy people anyway—there's bound to be overlap with the cocktail guests. I wouldn't say it's intentional. Besides, isn't it good to rise from where you fell? Letting those who once mocked and looked down on me see me in my professional element is also an opportunity to prove myself."

Ji Feng looked at Xu Miyu, his expression shifting from surprise to admiration.

"Very good. You've truly changed."

"Have I become more beautiful and confident?" Xu Miyu asked with a smile.

Ji Feng pressed a confirming kiss to her forehead.

Throughout Duan Aoxiang's event, Xu Miyu managed every aspect of the proceedings.

From guest reception to accommodation, meetings to dining, she coordinated seamlessly with all departments, ensuring every distinguished guest received the best possible experience.

During check-in, guests discovered their rooms weren't uniformly standardized but individually tailored according to their preferences.

Xu Miyu had delegated tasks to her subordinates, having them thoroughly research each attendee's background information, preferences, and habits in advance.Thus, the fruits placed in the guests' rooms were tailored to each individual's specific tastes, the flowers were picked and arranged according to the preferred varieties of each guest and their spouse, and even the height of the pillows matched the daily preferences of every attendee. During meals, the dishes were carefully balanced for nutrition and paired with a mix of meat and vegetables, while any dietary restrictions of the guests were also taken into account in advance.

The entire event proceeded smoothly under Xu Miyu's control.

Occasionally, unexpected situations arose during the activities, but whenever others seemed flustered, Xu Miyu would immediately present a pre-prepared contingency plan, swiftly resolving the issues.

She had developed backup plans for every segment of the event—anticipating almost every potential problem and risk in advance, and preparing not just one but multiple solutions.

Many of the attendees were foreign guests, and sometimes the translators were overwhelmed. Xu Miyu would step in flexibly and promptly to assist with translation.

Her demeanor was graceful and refined, her event planning and execution were efficient and effective, and her service was so thoughtful that it made everyone feel at ease. Combined with the added value of her language translation skills, her excellence and capabilities were continuously showcased to everyone throughout the event.

Those who had once questioned, "How could Ji Feng choose a woman like her?" now changed their minds, thinking instead, "Ji Feng really knows how to pick people."

The wealthy ladies who had previously mocked Xu Miyu, though still sourly feeling that she was somewhat out of her league compared to Ji Feng's family background, now had to admit that this woman indeed had some talent.

In the end, the event concluded successfully.

Xu Miyu felt that she had reached a new level of growth, both in mindset and ability.

So when Ji Feng tentatively told her that another gala was about to be held and asked, "Shall we attend?"

Xu Miyu smiled confidently this time and replied, "Why not? Let's go."

Stepping once again into the high-end gala filled with glamorous figures, intoxicating luxury, and big shots everywhere, Xu Miyu held onto Ji Feng's arm, her steps no longer unsteady, her heart completely at ease.

She told Ji Feng to go ahead and attend to his business without worrying about her. Ji Feng seemed uneasy, afraid that she might be cornered and bullied again by those gossipy ladies with sharp tongues.

But Xu Miyu smiled and reassured him, "No one can bully me now. Go ahead and focus on your work, then come back to find me when you're done."

Ji Feng then walked away. Still uneasy, he didn't go far and hid around the corner to keep an eye on Xu Miyu.

A few new wealthy ladies eyed Xu Miyu and huddled together, whispering, "I missed the excitement last time. Is this the divorced woman Ji Feng picked? She's really lucky to have hooked up with Ji Feng. Looks like they're still together. What do you think he sees in her?"

"She really is lucky. And I heard she made a fool of herself here last time. I’m surprised she had the nerve to come back. This woman must have some thick skin."

Hearing this, Ji Feng immediately wanted to rush over. But his arm was grabbed.

Turning his head, he saw it was Duan Aoxiang.

He frowned.Duan Aoxiang swayed his wine glass with a roguish grin and said to him: "Hold your horses before charging in, we're just getting started."

Ji Feng disdainfully shook off his hand and was about to rush over when he saw Xu Miyu had already approached the gossiping wealthy ladies herself.

Xu Miyu had overheard the chatter behind her. This time she didn't want to hide—instead, she raised her glass and walked gracefully toward them, smiling as she said: "You're right, I am that divorced woman Ji Feng has taken a liking to. I am indeed very lucky." She smiled with elegant confidence, even joking about herself, "As for why Ji Feng would fancy me, it must be because I have some exceptional qualities. By the way, my name isn't 'that woman'—I'm Xu Miyu. And how should I address you ladies?" She spoke cheerfully and composedly, effortlessly taking control of the conversation with just a few words.

Xu Miyu was quite pleased with her performance this time. She realized that when one becomes confident, they truly stop caring about behind-the-back gossip and no longer become anxious, insecure, or gloomy because of it.

She reflected on herself—where did her current confidence come from? She thought it probably stemmed from the sense of security Ji Feng gave her, as well as his making her believe in her own abilities—her professional skills and her ability to win him over.

Seeing Xu Miyu chatting and laughing so naturally and calmly, the wealthy ladies grew flustered. They first apologized, admitting they shouldn't have spoken carelessly earlier, then began introducing themselves.

Feeling embarrassed about having gossiped about Xu Miyu behind her back, the ladies became particularly eager to help when others approached, acting as intermediaries to introduce Xu Miyu: "This is so-and-so's wife, her husband is in such-and-such business..."

Thus, Xu Miyu gradually integrated into the circle of these rather fickle but not particularly malicious ladies.

After chatting with the wealthy ladies for a while, Xu Miyu moved over to where the female elites were gathered. Some of them, seeing her come from the wealthy ladies' group, assumed she was like them—brought in by a man—and thus gave her the cold shoulder, appearing quite aloof.

In the past, encountering such subtle rejection would have made Xu Miyu feel embarrassed, and she would have talked herself into retreating rather than forcing her way in where she wasn't welcome.

But now she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Confidently and gracefully, she engaged the female elites in discussions about workplace matters, proving she wasn't just some dependent brought in by a man. Gradually, the female elites relaxed their haughty attitudes and began chatting freely with her.

Xu Miyu skillfully steered the conversation toward her areas of expertise, telling them: "By the way, Luo's Jewelry will soon be holding their new season product showcase at our hotel, and I'm in charge of it. Since there's high demand for attendance and limited tickets available, if you're interested, I can try to reserve some for you."

Immediately, someone excitedly expressed interest in getting a ticket, then completely shed their earlier coldness, offering enthusiastic thanks with some embarrassment.

Those who responded later were told by Xu Miyu that tickets might not be guaranteed. When they showed disappointment, Xu Miyu reassured them: "But our hotel will be hosting many more events later—there will be plenty of fashion shows featuring luxury bags, jewelry, and clothing. If you're interested, I can try to reserve tickets for those too."Those people surrounded her, eagerly exchanging business cards or adding contact information.

Xu Miyu smiled and handled each interaction with grace.

She was no longer insignificant or humble in the crowd; she shone like the moon surrounded by stars, radiating confidence and effortless charm.

Ji Feng and Duan Aoxiang stood watching from a distance.

Duan Aoxiang nudged Ji Feng with his elbow and said, "Your woman has something special about her." He turned to look at Ji Feng. "To be honest, I kind of like her."

Ji Feng immediately glared at him angrily.

Duan Aoxiang grinned at him and added, "But I like you even more."

Ji Feng froze on the spot.

He wished the world could give him back ears that hadn't heard those disgusting words.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't restrain himself and glared at Duan Aoxiang, actually swearing:

"Damn it, get lost!"

【Epilogue】

Not long after Xu Miyu and Ji Feng reconciled, Xue Rui also brought them good news.

"Mi Yu, your best friend has finally been won over by me!"

When Xue Rui shared this news with Xu Miyu, he was so excited that he was crying tears of joy.

"That vixen, after driving me crazy with infatuation, finally agreed to—"

Ji Feng couldn't help interrupting: "Marry you?"

Xue Rui: "Be my girlfriend!"

Xu Miyu thought to herself: Hah.

"Hah." Ji Feng directly voiced her inner thoughts, his tone full of disdain.

Xue Rui protested indignantly: "Boss, what do you mean by that? Don't just laugh at me, okay? Have you forgotten how much effort it took you to chase Mi Yu? And now we're on the same starting line - you have a girlfriend, I have a girlfriend; you don't have a wife, I don't have a wife. Why are you 'hah'-ing at me?"

Ji Feng was left speechless. He thought resentfully to himself: Fine, then I'll get a wife before you do, and make you accept it whether you like it or not.

Once this idea took shape in his mind, he was shocked to discover that not only wasn't he opposed to it, but he actually looked forward to it. From then on, whenever he looked at Xu Miyu, there was an additional ambition in his eyes: he had to make this woman his wife.

At that acquisition salon event, Duan Aoxiang connected with several strategic partners. Soon after, their first business deal together was acquiring Changyang Tourism.

After Changyang Tourism was acquired, the management was completely reshuffled. The original general manager Hu Tu and deputy manager Nie Yucheng were both dismissed, replaced by the investors' own trusted people in both positions.

Hu Tu at least had some money from selling his shares to fall back on. Nie Yucheng was worse off - he didn't own any shares in Changyang Tourism, so when the company was sold he didn't get a single cent, and was thrown out by the new owners.

Unemployed in middle age, he found it hard to get another job. Good jobs didn't want him, and he didn't want bad jobs. Stuck in limbo at home, he lived off his savings until gradually he could no longer afford the high-salary nanny. Whereas the child used to be cared for by the nanny, now Lu Zhenzhen had to take care of it herself, complaining constantly every day. Nie Yucheng's mother came to help with housework, but she and Lu Zhenzhen argued fiercely every day.

Lu Zhenzhen had had enough and threatened to divorce, demanding a share of Nie Yucheng's property. Nie Yucheng's mother cornered her in the room and berated her mercilessly.Nie Yucheng couldn't bear such a family atmosphere, so he grabbed his suitcase and fled to a neighboring city, where he found a job and settled down, soon cohabiting with another woman. Lu Zhenzhen had gone to make a scene, causing mutual embarrassment, but she stubbornly refused to divorce, unwilling to let the other woman and Nie Yucheng benefit.

Later, it was the other woman who reminded Nie Yucheng with a single sentence: "Your ex-wife didn't have a child in six years of marriage with you, so how did Lu Zhenzhen get pregnant so easily after just one encounter with you? We haven't been particularly careful either, but I haven't gotten pregnant—why is that?"

Nie Yucheng took this to heart and secretly had the child's hair tested for DNA. The results drove him nearly insane—the child was indeed not his.

He couldn't accept this outcome. He believed that if it hadn't been for this child, he wouldn't have ended up divorcing Xu Miyu, nor would he have been forced to marry Lu Zhenzhen after the divorce.

This time, it was his turn to insist on divorce. Lu Zhenzhen still adamantly demanded a share of his property, refusing to divorce otherwise. The two eventually ended up in court, making a spectacle of themselves. In court, Nie Yucheng accused Lu Zhenzhen of being unfaithful, calling him a cuckold raising another man's child; Lu Zhenzhen countered by bringing up Nie Yucheng's affair with the other woman during their marriage, demanding a larger share of the assets. The two fought bitterly.

When Li Qiaoqi told Xu Miyu about these events, she couldn't help sighing: "Nie Yucheng and that Lu woman are really like dogs biting dogs—both ending up with fur in their mouths. Nie Yucheng's failure in life stems from his lack of resilience and decisiveness; he always tries to escape when faced with problems. He found your family troublesome, so he escaped by getting involved with that Lu woman. Later, when he couldn't stand Lu and his mother, he escaped to a neighboring city and found another woman." She shook her head, "Some people's unhappiness is destined by their character. Just wait and see—he and Lu Zhenzhen still have plenty of biting left to do."

Xu Miyu merely smiled upon hearing this, not even bothering to comment.

To her, those people and those matters were already in the past.

After Xu Miyu escaped from home that time, her family members were convicted of unlawful detention and sentenced accordingly. For a while, they couldn't bother her anymore.

Ji Feng didn't tell Xu Miyu that he had privately contacted her parents through a lawyer afterward. He warned Jiao Xiumei: "Xu Miyu will be mine for the rest of her life. Until I die, none of you should even think about bullying her again. I have a bad temper, no patience, a hard heart, and ruthless methods. If you dare to cause trouble and hurt her again, I will be ten times more merciless—but entirely within legal bounds—in dealing with you, especially your precious son Xu Mibao."

Jiao Xiumei knew that Ji Feng was different from Nie Yucheng. Nie Yucheng was easy to manipulate—he couldn't make harsh threats or take ruthless actions. But Ji Feng could both threaten and act mercilessly. They didn't dare treat Ji Feng the way they had treated Nie Yucheng. For the safety of their treasured son Xu Mibao, they had no choice but to promise obediently that even after being released, they would never harass Xu Miyu again.

Ji Feng was satisfied with this response. From then on, he would protect the woman he held dear in his heart, completely freeing her from the shadow of her original family.Among all that had transpired, the most comforting development was undoubtedly Feng Xuelan's decision to divorce Ji Shengming—the very source of all these troubles—after realizing the childhood trauma she had inflicted upon Ji Feng.

When she learned that Ji Feng suffered from sleepless nights during rainy seasons ever since she forced him to search for his father in damp, rainy weather as a child, she was consumed by pain and self-reproach. She began reflecting on her failures and inadequacies as a mother, ultimately making the resolute decision to end her marriage with Ji Shengming.

After the divorce, she discovered that life wasn't as bleak as she had imagined. She wasn't granting favor to Ji Shengming and his lover—she was liberating herself.

Having gone through divorce herself, she no longer held any prejudice against Xu Miyu for being divorced. She came to a profound realization: a woman who could earn Ji Feng's deep affection, who could heal the childhood wounds inflicted by his mother, must be the most suitable partner for him.

So during their first meeting, she directly gave Xu Miyu the family heirloom bracelet, recognizing her as her future daughter-in-law in advance.

【In the End】

Xu Miyu had already gained some reputation and fame in the industry. It was an indisputable fact that she had a strong boyfriend, but she saw no reason to avoid this topic, as she believed in her own capabilities.

She had earned an excellent reputation for herself in the industry, always approaching her work from the most humanistic perspective. In everything she did, people could feel her genuine emotions.

She was also eager to help women in various difficult situations—assisting girls from impoverished families to study and attend school, training divorced middle-aged women for hotel jobs to solve their employment issues, helping housewives who had suffered domestic misfortunes become independent, and supporting them in reintegrating into society and building self-confidence.

Having transformed from a thirty-year-old divorced, timid, and self-doubting housewife into a confident, radiant, and self-assured professional woman who could hold her head high in the workplace, she believed she owed this change to the important people and the love she encountered in her life—Ji Feng.

So now, she was willing to become a guiding light for women in similar situations, helping them, encouraging them to stand up again, regain their confidence, and independently enjoy a beautiful and new life.

Outsiders often said that Xu Miyu was quite something—a divorced middle-aged woman who had Ji Feng completely wrapped around her finger.

When Xu Miyu heard these comments again, she simply smiled. She no longer took such words to heart.

But Ji Feng responded to those people as if he wanted the whole world to know:

"Yes, I am completely wrapped around Xu Miyu's finger, so what? What does that have to do with whether she’s been divorced or not? What era are we in? Still using divorce as a measure to judge others—isn’t that just low?"

Xu Miyu thought Ji Feng at that moment was incredibly handsome, shining brightly.

In the blink of an eye, her birthday arrived again.

The same group of friends gathered at the "Night Encounter" bar to celebrate her birthday. After learning that she and Ji Feng were together, they all exclaimed, "I knew it! Last time, I could tell you weren’t just ordinary colleagues. So there really was something between you two!"

When they found out that Ji Feng was Xu Miyu’s boss, they gasped in surprise, "Oh my god, we have such a big boss sitting among us! I feel like I’ve become royalty just by association!"

As they exclaimed, Ji Feng tried his best to dodge the hands slapping his shoulders. When he couldn’t avoid it, he just smiled and endured it.

Everyone happily drank together. When they were all slightly tipsy, Ji Feng asked for quiet.

Then, Xu Miyu received a bouquet of fiery red roses, a ring adorned with a massive diamond, and a deeply affectionate gaze from Ji Feng.

Holding the ring, Ji Feng looked into her eyes and into her heart. He didn’t care if there were people around—his eyes were only on her. Gazing at her, he said:

"I’ve never spoken cheesy words in my life, but I’m going to say them to you now.

Xu Miyu, I want to tell you today that from the moment I decided to be with you, I never cared whether you had been divorced. So what if you’ve been divorced? Your past experiences have shaped who you are today. Every part of your life’s journey has made you the person I love now."So I truly want to thank your past for bringing such a you to my side.

I also want to thank you for changing me, for helping heal the hidden pain my family left me. And for transforming me from someone always aloof, full of disdain and sarcasm, always finding faults in others, into a caring man with empathy, brave enough to offer commitment and security. You've made me a real man.

Now I want to promise you: In the days to come, I will give you happiness and loyalty, so please marry me, okay?"

Xu Miyu listened to these words that weren't particularly emotional and could even be called plain, yet she cried uncontrollably. He used to be a man unwilling to give false romantic sweet talk, someone who wouldn't even speculate about what five years later might look like. But now he had pledged his entire remaining life to her.

Her tears still glistened on her eyelashes as she smiled brilliantly through them, nodding firmly at the man before her: "Okay, then I'll marry you."

Ji Feng was overjoyed, his fingers trembling slightly as he slipped the ring onto her ring finger, then embraced and kissed her tenderly.

Deafening cheers surrounded them, but in this moment, their hearts and eyes held only each other.

Beside them, in the bouquet of red roses Ji Feng had given Xu Miyu, stood a card.

On it was Ji Feng's handwritten words:

Miyu, thank you for appearing in my life;

The first half of my life belonged to me, the second half will belong to you.

I love you, and this will be something I persist in doing without interruption for my entire life, something I continue and uphold every single day.

【The Very End - Mini Epilogue】

Many years later.

Ji Siyu, the fifteen-year-old granddaughter of Xu Miyu and Ji Feng, was browsing online one day when she noticed everyone was sharing old photos of their good-looking elders.

How could she miss out on such an activity? After all, she had the best-looking grandparents in the world.

She immediately rushed to her grandparents' house to look for their youthful photos. In her memory, no one smiled as beautifully as Grandma, and no one's gaze was as tender as Grandpa's when he looked at Grandma.

Grandpa had recently taken Grandma traveling again, so only the driver and housekeeper were home. Not daring to rummage through her grandparents' belongings recklessly, Ji Siyu carefully removed a photo from the frame on their bedside table and took a picture with her phone.

In the photo, Grandma held a bouquet of roses in her arms, smiling with crescent eyes so beautifully it was breathtaking. Meanwhile, Grandpa looked at her with a gentle, smiling gaze, his face in profile.

Ji Siyu posted this photo online with the caption:

"These are my grandparents, aren't they good-looking? In our family, including my parents, all five of us, I'm the ugliest one."

Beneath her text and picture, numerous comments quickly piled up.

Everyone marveled:

"Wow, your grandma's smile is so beautiful!"

"Your grandpa is really handsome, god-tier profile! And the way he looks at your grandma is so tender! Help, I'm obsessed, ah I'm dying!"

"In this old photos topic, I'm willing to declare yours the ceiling of romantic atmosphere! The love vibe between your grandparents is just too strong!"

"Wait! Sis, have you noticed? At the very bottom of this photo of your grandparents you took, there's a row of quite dense small text?""Wow, I see it too, there really seems to be something! The handwriting is just too cursive and bold, I can't quite make out what it says. Does anyone know cursive script well enough to help decipher it?"

Ji Siyu thought "Huh?" to herself and looked at the photo of her grandparents. Upon closer inspection, she discovered—

Wow, there really was a line of small cursive characters at the very bottom, clearly written by her grandfather.

Even she had trouble recognizing her grandfather's cursive writing. She strained to decipher it and could only make out her grandmother's name in that sentence.

Suddenly, she noticed someone commenting:

"Girls, I've deciphered it! Oh my god, the love between this poster's grandparents is so beautiful, it literally makes me want to scream ahhh!"

They wrote the deciphered sentence in the comments. Everyone started lining up to scream about how sweet the love was.

Ji Siyu looked at that sentence, grinning from ear to ear while somehow feeling her eyes grow moist.

She felt so moved. Because Grandpa really loved Grandma so much.

Forty years ago, on the day Ji Feng successfully proposed, he took a photo with Xu Miyu. Xu Miyu held the fiery red roses he gave her, smiling as brilliantly as the morning clouds. He became completely captivated by her smile, forgetting even to look at the camera.

Many photos were taken of them that day by those present, but this was the one he loved most.

She looked at the camera, he looked at her. The camera captured them in the photo. He captured her in his heart.

He selected this photo specifically and kept it by his bedside, never tiring of looking at it every day.

He had one small secret. On the day he received this photo forty years ago, he quietly wrote a line of text at the bottom. The photo was placed in a frame that happened to cover that line. So even Xu Miyu never knew he had hidden a rare, intimate romance there.

He never could have imagined that now, his precious granddaughter and netizens would decipher that line together, exposing his youthful feelings for his beloved through the excited screams of young girls—

【Miyu:

The journey of loving you in this life is my "Honeyed Words Era," and my Honeyed Words Era will last as long as my life.

—Ji Feng】

【—The End—】

Afterword:

Honeyed Words Era = The days I fell in love with you; "My Honeyed Words Era will last as long as my life" = I will love you until the end of my life.
