set fire to his heart

Mia, who was standing in the house, lost control of her emotions because of the images that kept appearing in front of her eyes.

Her body became limp and limp.

What happened in the past kept destroying her, taking away her strength bit by bit.

Mia was powerless to parry.

The trembling of her legs made her almost unable to stand.

She stretched out her hand to support the cabinet, and then she was able to stabilize her precarious body.

It was precisely because of her action that she found the photo album on the cabinet...

It's a photo of her and Shen Shili when they were in love.

It is also the only photo of him and her smiling sincerely.

them in the photo.

Have not experienced all kinds of later.

The only thing is to be immersed in the tenderness of falling in love with each other at first sight and recognizing each other.

It's just that the photo is so ironic in hindsight.

Mia couldn't help but clenched the hand holding the cabinet tightly at this moment, and the soreness at the tip of her nose became more and more intense.

Everything here is suffocating her.

Likewise, it puzzled her.

why?
Why did Shen Shili keep it?
This house was purchased in their name.

He has every right to dispose of it.

But instead of selling it, he even—everything here was kept as it was, and it was spotless.

Why would he do this?
Mia couldn't figure out his thoughts, and it was even more difficult to understand his starting point.

at this time.

"Ding--"

Through the open door, she heard the sound of the elevator door opening from outside the house.

At the same time, there is another step from far to near.

Sensitively aware of this.

Mia's sanity was withdrawn abruptly.

She gasped in horror, and her heart rose to her throat.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer to her.

She was able to confirm that the visitor was not the neighbor who lived on the same floor, but - came straight to the room where she was.

Think of her uninvited and unlocked entry.

If the other party is Shen Shili, how should she explain it?

thought here.

Mia glanced across the balcony.

She walked towards it almost without thinking.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is impossible for her to leave here, and turning off the lights and doors will only expose herself.

All she can do is hide herself.

"squeak……"

When the concealed door is pushed open from the outside.

Almost at the same time, Mia hid on the balcony.

She stood in a corner with her back against the wall, her hands tightly covering her mouth and nose.

Too nervous to make a sound.

Even her breathing became abrupt, and it sounded very clear to her.

Her heart beat violently in her chest.

Plop plop.

The powerful impact was as heavy as a drum hammer, and every sound was deafening.

"..." Mia covered her face with her hands, swallowing hard.

Time becomes slow.

Every minute and every second is tormenting her at this moment.

Deeply afraid of being discovered, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and could only pray that the visitor would come back quickly.

as well as……

The anxiety and curiosity in her heart made her, who was hiding in the corner, carefully turn her head and observe the room from the corner of her eye.

Due to the limited angle, she couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly.

But just a rough outline, Mia has already recognized the identity of the other party.

It was Shen Shili.

He came out of the elevator and came home with doubts.

When he found the light on downstairs just now, he mistakenly thought it was a mistake, but when he came to the door, he found that the door was not closed.

Also, there are lights in the room.

see.

Shen Shili opened the door and walked in.

What caught his eyes was a scene he was too familiar with.

Everything is as it was.

The environment is spotless, it can be seen that the aunt has just come to clean it not long ago.

It's just too careless.

Even the lights and the door were not turned off.

thought here.

Shen Shili took out his mobile phone in displeasure, and made a call.

As the phone was connected, the other party's voice had just rang, and Shen Shili said to her: "Auntie, remember to turn off the lights and close the door after cleaning next time. I don't want any potential safety hazards here. You should know how much I value this place!"

"Huh? Young Master Shen, I..."

Auntie didn't know why, but before she could ask carefully, Shen Shili had already interrupted her.

"Forget it this time, not next time."

After all, he hung up the phone directly.

"..." The whole room fell into silence.

Shen Shili, who put down his phone, let out a heavy breath, and then he looked around, the colors of his pupils behind the lenses were intricate.

After a long sigh of relief.

His gaze swept across the living room.

Then, as usual, he walked towards the bedroom...

In every corner of the home, there are traces of her past existence.

In this way, he recalled her and missed the past he had missed.

Shen Shili stayed in the house.

I don't know anything about the person hiding in the corner of the balcony.

As for Mia, who kept her back against the wall and hid herself, her emotions gradually calmed down from the initial panic as time went by.

She couldn't see Shen Shili's figure and didn't know what he was doing.

But luckily he didn't find her.

Feeling relaxed, she no longer held her breath as before, and let go of her hand to breathe freely.

only……

Recalling what he called just now, Mia frowned slightly.

The aunt he called, and his exhortations.

It echoed in Mia's ears: "Auntie, remember to turn off the lights and close the door after cleaning next time. I don't want any potential safety hazards here. You should know how much I value this place!"

This means that he arranged for someone to clean it here and keep it in its original state.

He said personally that he attaches great importance to this place.

This emphatic and solemn tone carried a heavy force to Mia, attacking her chest.

Is it her delusion?

Or is it because he is committed to creating an affectionate character, to such an extent?
Reason told her that it should not be the case.

After all, no one will find out about this kind of thing, and no one will know about his acting.

and so……

Does he really care here?
Care about the home that once belonged to them.

Does this mean that he may really have a place for her in his heart.

Even, just a little bit?

When this thought came to mind, Mia immediately shook her head vigorously.

No, impossible!

As long as he thinks about his old love, as long as he has her in his heart, he can't do such a cruel thing!

Take the child away from her.

This alone is enough to kill her, and it is enough to make her hate him!

She must no longer be like before, foolishly expecting him and making excuses for him.

Obviously, she should have seen him clearly long ago.

How can you still be obsessed with him after going through so many things?
not like this!

Mia shook her head desperately, denying her inner thoughts.

And she is so immersed in it right now that...

Mia didn't even notice that the figure coming out of the bedroom was approaching in her direction, and the distance between the two was getting closer.

A dangerous aura was permeating her, surrounding her silently.
