Mo Li's dark eyes instantly burst into surprise:

"It's you? It's really you!"

Chi Cunxu raised his eyebrows slightly, which was considered as his agreement.

At that time, she woke up on a park bench, and everyone told her in no uncertain terms that there were no other young men in the church, and the person who sacrificed his life to save her was Gu Tingyan.

Even though Gu Tingyan's figure and temperament were quite different from the tall and handsome boy in her memory; even though Gu Tingyan had been tone-deaf since childhood and had never learned piano; even though she clearly remembered that at the critical moment, the boy used his right arm to help her block the burning iron rack, while Gu Tingyan's left hand was injured.

Although she had numerous seeds of doubt in her heart, that was indeed the only time she saw him.

From that day on, the young man who could calmly play the piano in the raging fire and whose eyes were as cold as a mountain spring never appeared again.

So Mo Li could only keep convincing herself that the person who rescued her from the fire was Gu Tingyan, and as for the young man, he was just an illusion she saw before she fainted.

……

But in fact, ever since being with Chi Cunxu, Mo Li has seen the shadow of that young boy in him countless times.

For example, the same handsome profile and upright back; the same superb piano skills; the same pair of cold dark green pupils; and every moment he looked at her, he could always evoke the memories of that boy deep in her heart.

It was after she met Chi Cunxu that she became more and more certain that the person who risked his life to save her was definitely not that scumbag Gu Tingyan.

But she was too embarrassed to ask him directly. After all, he was her dream lover whom she had been thinking about for many years. How embarrassing would it be if she asked and the answer she got was not what she wanted?

After all, this guy is so jealous and possessive of her that if any boy in school hands her a love letter, he will hide away and sulk after knowing it.

What if she told him that she still misses the boy who saved her life? Or tell him that you look a lot like my first love?

This guy must feel like he's become a stand-in. I don't know how long he'll remain emo. He's the type that can't be appeased.

Moreover, before this, she had secretly checked Chi Cunxu's arms, and both the left and right sides were intact, without any scars at all.

So Mo Li always felt that it was better not to mention this matter.

She never thought that such a thing as "looking back suddenly, that person is standing in the dim light" would actually happen to her.

The dream lover that haunted the young girl and made her miss him for many years turned out to be the lover who is with her day and night now and loves her more than his own life.

Mo Li smiled with relief. She had only realized today that God had been especially kind to her. She really had no regrets anymore.

……

"But..." Mo Li was even more confused: "It was you who saved me at that time. If you hadn't blocked the iron frame for me, the consequences would have been disastrous... Why did you say that I saved you?"

Chi Cunxu smiled and scratched her nose: "Guess why I kept sitting inside and playing the piano? Someone fastened the door from the outside and I was trapped inside and couldn't get out. If it wasn't for a little kid who showed up in time, I would have been burned to ashes."

"So, you were asking for help?" Mo Li suddenly realized, "No... then you were too calm! If it were me, I would have cried so hard that the roof would have been blown off. But the sound of the piano does seem to be more penetrating. I remember that I heard the sound of the piano from a long distance away... It seems that you have been smart since you were a child..."

Chi Cunxu smiled and looked at her without saying anything.

As he was talking, Mo Li suddenly froze: "Wait a minute - who did you say is Little Winter Melon!"

She reached out to pull his ears and glared at him angrily: "You're so good, I saved you at that time, why are you attacking me personally?"

She admitted that she grew up a little later than her peers when she was a child. She was indeed short and stout when she was seven or eight years old, but it cannot be said that she was a little fat.

Chi Cunxu put his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling, and begged for mercy with a smile: "Okay, okay, let me correct you - if it weren't for a beautiful girl who showed up in time, I would have died long ago."

"Puh, puh, puh—" Mo Li pulled harder, sat on his legs, pulled his ears with both hands, and lectured him with wide eyes: "It's New Year's Day, you can't say such unlucky words!"

“Okay, okay—” Chi Cunxu quickly showed weakness and begged for mercy: “I was wrong, I will never say it again.”

"That's more like it." Mo Li finally put down her hands with satisfaction, and hugged his neck to prevent herself from falling: "But why don't you have any scars on your arms?"

This time it was Chi Cunxu who was confused: "Why is there a scar?"

Mo Li glared slightly: "I clearly remember that the burning iron rack hit your arm all of a sudden, causing you to be seriously injured."

"Oh, you mean that..." Chi Cunxu seemed to have just remembered and patted his right arm: "I don't have a scar-prone physique. That little wound has healed long ago."

It turned out to be so.

Mo Li was shocked by his extraordinary repair ability and narrowed his eyes slightly, as some not-so-pleasant memories came to his mind.

A few years ago, that damn scumbag Gu Tingyan would always use the hideous scar on his hand to remind her that he had even risked his life to save her, which made her feel extremely guilty.

After all the fuss, the scar on the owner's body had already healed.

……

Chi Cunxu keenly noticed the unhappy emotion in her eyes and frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Unhappy?"

Mo Li shook his head: "I'm not unhappy, I just think of some unpleasant things that happened before - you know? Everyone told me at that time that they rescued me from the fire for someone else who was injured."

"Gu Tingyan?" Chi Cunxu raised his eyebrows.

Mo Li nodded: "He was also injured in the fire that day. It happened to be his arm, but it was his other hand... and he insisted that he was the one who rescued me from the fire."

The more Mo Li thought about it, the angrier she became, but Chi Cunxu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"So, the reason you originally planned to get engaged to him was because you always thought he saved you?"

Mo Li's face suddenly turned red, and she turned her head slightly to avoid his burning gaze:

"I guess so... I always thought he was my first love."
