"How is that possible?!"
Yue Xiaofei reached out, his fingertips almost touching the cold glass of the picture frame.
He searched his memory and found nothing.
He had no memory of this photograph, let alone of posing so closely with a blindfolded girl.
"Xiaofei, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiaolu's voice pulled him out of his shock.
She followed his gaze and spotted the strange photograph too.
"Huh? Isn't that little boy... you?"
Bai Bing came over as well. After a closer look, she said, "The girl beside him has red silk over her eyes. If I'm right, she's Ning Hongye of the Ning family."
Yue Xiaofei said nothing. He stepped forward and carefully took the frame off the wall.
A thin layer of dust coated the back of the frame, but the photograph itself was remarkably well preserved.
He turned the frame over and released the clasps on the back.
An old, yellowed photograph lay before the three of them.
On its back, two names had been written in delicate handwriting.
Yue Xiaofei.
Ning Hongye.
Beneath the names were two small but exquisitely crafted seals.
One bore the character "Lu."
The other bore the character "Ning."
The seals of the Lu family and the Ning family on the same photograph said it all.
"Wow! It really is you!"
Lin Xiaolu covered her mouth, her wide eyes sparkling with curiosity.
She moved beside Yue Xiaofei and gave him a gentle nudge with her elbow.
"Not bad, Yue Xiaofei! You kept this quiet! So you've known that mysterious Ning family heiress all along! Weren't you two childhood sweethearts?"
Childhood sweethearts?
Yue Xiaofei's mind was a haze.
"Something's wrong."
He shook his head, his frown deepening.
Lin Xiaolu looked puzzled. "What's wrong? A handsome boy and a beautiful girl—a match made in heaven!"
