Ch 110: Finally, I’ve waited for you.

Xia Yida looked forward to P.E. class, ignoring her deskmate telling her to keep her distance, ignoring the two in front of them suddenly turning around to mock her, ignoring the note stuck on her back that read, “I’m a fat pig.”

In this world, there was someone she had missed her whole youth for; these children’s actions were insignificant.

Her heart was already very strong; a first-tier star faces rumors and gossip a million times worse than her current situation every day.

As soon as the bell rang, Xia Yida eagerly went to the playground, staring at the gate of the school building, just to see the boy from her memories.

When that figure appeared in her sight, Xia Yida was overjoyed, even more excited than when she won Best Actress.

While still in free activity, she walked along the edge of the playground, ignoring the malicious looks of the boys playing soccer.

The soccer ball flew, and the boy arrived as expected, blocking her.

Xia Yida laughed with tears in her eyes; she restrained the longing of her entire youth.

“Thank you…”

The boy seemed surprised by Xia Yida’s reaction, thinking she was just scared.

“Are you okay?”

Although he was the one injured, the kind boy comforted her instead.

Xia Yida happily shook her head, “I’m Xia Yida, and I hope we can be friends.”

The boy was startled, “I know… I noticed you a long time ago.”

The same protection as before; he would always help her out of trouble, although Xia Yida didn’t care about these children’s antics now.

But seeing the boy again was a wish she’d held for many years.

She looked at the boy’s eyebrows and eyes, remembered his voice, but felt an indescribable familiarity about him.

As the days passed, Xia Yida felt uneasy, as if the moment of their separation from her memory was approaching.

After class, she arrived early at the boy’s classroom door.

“Can you walk me home?”

The boy was somewhat surprised but still nodded.

Xia Yida took the boy to the park; she sat on a park bench, looking at the blooming flowers.

The boy didn’t ask anything; he sat beside Xia Yida.

“If one day you have to leave, would you leave without saying goodbye?”

The boy froze, his gaze shifting; he slowly looked into the distance.

“Maybe.”

Xia Yida looked at the boy, seemingly surprised by this answer.

“Why?”

“Maybe because I don’t want you to be sad…”

There seemed to be a hint of sadness in the boy’s eyes; he just looked into the distance.

“Do you know how many years I’ve been looking for you?”

Hearing the trembling voice, the boy turned in surprise, only to see tears in Xia Yida’s eyes.

What many years? He clearly hadn’t left yet.

But Xia Yida cried; it must be his fault.

“I really am leaving. My illness can’t be treated domestically. Yida, I didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye; I was scared.”

“I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to come back, I’m afraid of the pain—they say the treatment is very painful—I’m afraid you’ll be sad if I tell you, I…”

The boy couldn’t hold back his tears; his thin face was filled with helplessness.

Xia Yida hadn’t expected her youthful regret to contain such a hidden story.

She hugged the boy; it was something she had wanted to do but never had; she gently wiped away his tears with her sleeve.

“You’ll be okay; promise me you’ll come back and find me, okay?”

The boy looked at Xia Yida’s earnest expression and nodded.

“Don’t look at how fat I am now; in the future, I’ll definitely be a beautiful woman, with suitors lining up to France; I’ll become a first-tier star.”

The boy was amused by Xia Yida’s words, seemingly surprised that this chubby girl was so interesting.

“I’m telling the truth! You’ll be healthy then, and even if your situation isn’t good, I’ll help you. Then it’ll be my turn to protect you. If you have trouble with the treatment, tell me; I’ll convince my family to help you!”

The boy nodded forcefully, “Thank you, Yida. I really did want to leave without saying goodbye, but this time I hope we’ll meet again. When you miss me, listen to that music box.”

Xia Yida nodded, smiling again.

A long time passed, so long that Xia Yida felt that what she had experienced was a predicted future, not a dream.

She was like heaven’s darling; she could make the best choices in all major and minor decisions.

It took her less time than last time to become a first-tier star, but she knew she was waiting for someone.

She refused many people, including famous directors, popular actors, world billionaires, and political bigwigs…

With her outstanding beauty and high emotional intelligence, she used her pursuers as her network; she was everyone’s White Moonlight.

But she was waiting for the boy who had saved her humble self, waiting for him to fulfill his promise.

She had become a first-tier actress; she had worked so hard, just to be able to stand in a place where he could see her.

That way, he could easily find her as long as he saw her.

For all these years, she had been looking for news about him, but still had no results.

“President Xia, you need to attend a live event in Jianghua City tomorrow to promote the new movie.”

Seeing Yu Qing’s message, Xia Yida replied, “Okay, pack my luggage as usual.”

“Received.”

As Xia Yida’s assistant, Yu Qing basically infiltrated all aspects of her life; although it was demanding, the treatment was very good, and Yu Qing cherished this job.

Xia Yida had a habit she didn’t understand every time she packed her luggage: she always brought a mobile phone she’d never used.

According to her observation, the phone never rang, and Xia Yida rarely looked at it; Yu Qing didn’t know why she always brought it.

But many stars have personal secrets; it’s said that a rival actress went to South Asia to get a Buddha amulet with an infant spirit and always carries it with her.

Just consider it a personal quirk.

On the day of the event, Jianghua City’s International Trade Center was surrounded by a sea of people. Xia Yida, as always, showed her amazing charm and received a lot of praise at the event.

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and bowed humbly to the audience, “See you next time; I hope everyone can support my new work.”

Accompanied by the cheers and screams from the audience, Xia Yida walked off the stage.

Although the sound was faint, Xia Yida still heard the familiar music box sound.

She was looking for the source of the sound, but Yu Qing pulled out the phone that hadn’t rung in so many years from her bag.

She looked at Xia Yida incredulously and handed her the phone, “President Xia, this phone is ringing.”

Xia Yida couldn’t believe it either; she hurriedly took the phone and answered it, trembling slightly.

“I’m back to find you, big star.”

Xia Yida burst into tears, “Where are you?”

“Turn around.”

Xia Yida turned around; a handsome man was waving.

So that was what he looked like as an adult.

Ignoring Yu Qing’s terrified obstruction, ignoring the reporters’ frantic snapping, ignoring the crowd’s screams.

Xia Yida rushed towards the man and threw herself into his arms.

“Will you give yourself to me?”

The longing of Xia Yida’s entire youth materialized; she nodded with tears streaming down her face.

“I will, as long as you’re by my side, I’ll do anything.”

The noisy crowd slowly disappeared; the world seemed to only echo the quiet music of the music box.

The person in her arms had a very strong but slightly cold chest; the face from her memory gradually began to overlap.

Ji Chuan was looking at her.

The others at the stronghold also looked at Xia Yida’s actions with various expressions of surprise.

Xia Yida didn’t care about the others; she was still crying, “I finally waited for you…”
