Chapter 44 Part 1
This year’s Chinese New Year came somewhat late .
At the end of January, when it was close to the New Year, Ye Qiao turned down all work and given herself about a half month break . There were no award ceremonies or red carpets, no screaming fans or flashing lights . In those peaceful days, she fell in love taking pictures of Ophelia and Desa . She would then post those pictures on the site Zhou Tingsheng had created earlier, with some quirky captions . The site suddenly became active after being inactive for so long, but the change of style led to a lot of speculation from the viewers .
Ye Qiao’s own apartment was practically empty since she now stayed with Zhou Tingsheng . She only returned to her own place when she needed something . One day she went back to fetch an old contract .
As she opened her own apartment door, the elevator stopped at the 23rd floor . Since there were only two units on this floor, the visitor was either visiting her or Zhou Tingsheng .

Zhou Tingsheng heard someone coming to his apartment and figured it was Ye Qiao . When he went to the door, he discovered someone else .
He hadn’t seen Ruan Feiyan for a few months . She was dressing rather maturely, her legs bare despite it being a freezing winter day . Zhou Tingsheng looked beyond her bright smile to see 2301’s door had just closed . The corner of Ye Qaio’s clothes just disappearing into the the other apartment . He couldn’t tell what kind of expression Ye Qiao had on her face . Ruan Feiyan waved her hand in front of Zhou Tingsheng: “Tingsheng Gege, what are you looking at?”
Zhou Tingsheng took his eyes off the other door and let Ruan Feiyan into his apartment: “Why did you come without letting me know ahead of time?”
Ruan Feiyan put a large shopping bag on the coffee table: “The pet toys I told you about last time . You haven't come over to pick them up and I don’t have much space to put them . Besides, I don’t want them to go to waste so I came to deliver them to you . ”
Zhou Tingsheng certainly knew that was just an excuse . He poured two glasses of water and sat down ready to have a chat with her: “Before winter break, you homeroom teacher gave me a call . He told me your grades have gone down a lot . ”
“Didn’t she say she wasn’t going to tell you……” Ruan Feiyan indignantly threw a toy bone . “I’m telling you she’s a spinster, she must like you and found an excuse to call you . ”
Zhou Tingsheng wasn’t good at giving lectures, but gave her a displeased look for being disrespectful to her teacher .
Ruan Feiyan went over placing her arms over his: “Alright, alright… . . . Tingsheng Gege, I’ll do better next semester, all right?”
Ye Qiao happened to open the door just when as Ruan Feiyan clung to him .
Ye Qiao stood still at the doorway, silently exchanged a look with Zhou Tingsheng, then backed out and closed the door before Zhou Tingsheng could get a read on the layers of emotions in her eyes . As her frosty face disappeared behind the door, Zhou Tingsheng hurriedly freed his arm from Ruan Feiyan and said in an unusually harsh tone: “Don’t come to my place if you don’t have anything to do here . ”
“What do you mean? !” The Ruan Feiyan’s face immediately changed . She demanded with a darkened face: “Who was that . Wu Zi said your recent girlfriend is a movie star, Ye Qiao, right? Is that her?”
Ruan Feiyan had already recognized her with just one look . She had seen her face in her nightmares numerous times . She just didn’t expect to see her here and because of her, Zhou Tingsheng’s attitude had changed so drastically .
Zhou Tingsheng didn’t know when the naive little girl had turned into an irritable and hysterical teenager .
He had always been particularly patient with her, but her temperament seems to have worsened . Zhou Tingsheng realized he had to be strict with her: “Sit down . ” He commanded with a frown, his face looking particularly ominous .
Ruan Feiyan raised her voice: “What right do you have to order me?”
“I told you to sit down . ” Zhou Tingsheng tried hard not to let his irritation get the better of him .
“I won’t . ” Ruan Feiyan backed away a step . Realizing that there was no point pretending anymore she spoke, her voice choking: “You think I don’t know who she is? Just because she doesn’t use his father’s last name, I wouldn’t know who she is? I know, she’s the daughter of that murderer! Her heart is my mom’s … . . . Who does she think she is?!”
