Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Notepad

Back at the villa, a chill invaded, and Cheng Yi couldn’t help but shiver. He took a breath and slowly walked into the living room.

He lay on the couch, curled up, with cold sweat continuously oozing from his forehead, and the pain in his stomach made him start to vomit.

Cheng Yi felt in his pocket, took out the medicine, but it was empty.

He frowned, threw the medicine into the trash can, and bent down to open the storage compartment of the coffee table.

The medicine he had stuffed in there randomly before was now neatly arranged.

Staring blankly at these medicines, his heart began to hurt too. He reached for a bottle with a cartoon avatar on the sticky label—every bottle had one.

And on these sticky notes was a string of neat handwriting, listing the usage times for the medicine, precautions, and the proper dosage.

Cheng Yi’s eyes reddened slightly, his hands trembling involuntarily. He opened the cap and poured the white pills into his palm.

The medicine was bitter, but his expression remained calm, as if feeling nothing, letting the bitter pills slide into his mouth, the corners drew a bitter arc.

Cheng Yi put the medicine back exactly as it was, but just as he put it down, he felt something else underneath.

He reached in and pulled out a small notebook about the size of a palm.

Opening it, he saw the familiar handwriting.

"Cheng Yi doesn’t like garlic, cilantro, spicy food, greasy food..."

"Cheng Yi is allergic to mangoes."

"Cheng Yi drinks coffee in the morning and rarely drinks tea."

"..."

This notebook had already filled more than a dozen pages, and everything written concerning him.

Cheng Yi gently stroked the handwriting, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

There were many habits recorded that even he hadn’t noticed, but Xinan had meticulously documented each one.

In that moment, Cheng Yi’s heart filled with boundless warmth.

He could imagine Xinan writing in this notebook, her hair casually tied up into a bun, dressed in a loose white cotton dress, revealing her slender, fair neck and delicate collarbone.

Her legs crossed and seated on the couch, holding a pen in her hand, focused, occasionally frowning as if writing a major work...

Whenever he pictured that scene, Cheng Yi felt an immense warmth and happiness.

He put the notebook in his pocket, then went upstairs and placed it in a drawer of the bookcase, alongside the diamond ring Xinan had left behind.

Afterward, whenever he missed Xinan, he would take out the notebook to read.

-

In April, Xinan accepted two advertising endorsements and "Mist" broke the box office record of 2 billion, with the crew holding a celebration banquet at Jing City Hotel.

In May, Xinan joined the cast and co-starred with Ran Shasha in the filming of "My Name," while "It’s You" premiered that same month.

In June, "It’s You" became the hit drama of the moment, and Xinan completed a three-level jump, squeezing into the ranks of top-tier actresses.

...

Xinan’s popularity soared quickly, her influence even on par with the current popular idol Zhai Ruo.

Xinan had never felt time pass so rapidly.

Cheng Yi, however, seemed to have vanished from her world, not even appearing on television.

That day, Xinan was invited to shoot the music video for Zhai Ruo’s new song.

If you were to ask who the hottest singer is this year, it would undoubtedly be Zhai Ruo.

With just one album, he had become a sensation across Jing City, a genuinely talented individual. Xinan had listened to his songs, finding the melodies pleasing and the lyrics impressively poetic, all of which he had written and composed himself.

Not only did he sing beautifully, but he was also exceptionally handsome, tall, and well-built, with a remarkable presence—no wonder he became a national idol, charming so many girls.

And he was only just over twenty years old.

After finishing the last set of shots for the day, Xinan sat on the sofa waiting for Meng Qiu to bring her some clothes.

After a short wait, feeling bored, Xinan began to flip through the newspapers lying nearby.

Just with a casual flip, she saw Cheng Yi’s photo.

The newspaper headline was quite sensational, implying that Cheng Yi was caught being intimate with a certain female actress, acting like a couple.

The photo was blurry, but Xinan recognized him at a glance.

Beside him was a woman, whom Xinan looked at for a long time before recognizing as Lin Wei.

There were two photos in total, one of Cheng Yi and Lin Wei walking side by side, another of Lin Wei getting into his car.

It was then that Meng Qiu entered the room, "Sister Xi, I’ve brought your clothes, and your milk tea."

"Put it here."

"Okay."

Meng Qiu didn’t notice anything off about Xinan, nor did she see how Xinan’s fingers hidden behind her back were slowly stiffening.

Seeing Xinan staring intently at the newspaper on the table, Meng Qiu couldn’t help but take a few peeks, "Sister Xi, isn’t that Lin Wei, the actress who’s just made a name for herself lately?"

"You know her?"

Meng Qiu said, "Yeah! She starred in a web series a few days ago that was quite good, creating quite a buzz online. I heard she even went on a variety show recently and gained quite a following for being relatable."

Xinan had not been following online news lately, and she also hadn’t been in touch with Lin Wei for some time, so she wasn’t aware of all this.

But... why was she with Cheng Yi, and riding in his car?

Could it be...

For some reason, as soon as this thought surfaced, Xinan couldn’t help but shiver.

Her heart suddenly became very restless, and she didn’t dare to think any further.

Meng Qiu, as if she remembered something, then added, "By the way, when she first debuted, a lot of people online said she looked like you."

"Like me?" Xinan frowned.

"Yes, I have one of her debut photo shoots here." Meng Qiu had wanted to show it to Xinan before, but she had forgotten because they were so busy.

As soon as she saw that photo, Xinan felt it was extremely familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

In the photo, Lin Wei wore a school uniform, light makeup, and a ponytail, looking very vibrant.

"Maybe it’s because of the makeup that she looks like me."

Xinan had seen Lin Wei many times and never felt that they looked alike, so it might be the makeup, and since photo shoots typically involve retouching, it’s pretty normal for people to resemble others at certain moments.

"Sister Xi, does this photo look familiar to you?"

Xinan nodded.

Meng Qiu exited the gallery, opened WeChat, then clicked on Xinan’s profile picture, "Sister Xi, look at this."

Seeing her own avatar, Xinan finally understood why she felt the photo was familiar.

Because Lin Wei’s portrait looked almost exactly like her own from high school, even the hairstyle and makeup were strikingly similar.
