When the two reached home, Sophie was shocked to see that Edith was limping with her son supporting her with his body. Although she had set up the two to go on for a night walk, Sophie was not expecting them to run into trouble.

Seeing that Edith's ankle had started to swell, Sophie was guilt-ridden. She quickly found some ointment and had instructed her son to help to rub the ointment on the swelling.

By this time, Sophie was too anxious to think of a plan to bring them closer.

It was only when Edith had returned to the bedroom to rest did Sophie felt a bit relieved.

Fortunately, it was the weekend and Edith did not have to go to kindergarten. As for her French class, Edith can only text her teacher to take a day off and have a proper rest.

Anyway, even if she wanted to leave, Sophie had convinced her to stay home. Seeing the guilt on the elder woman's face, Edith's heart grew soft and she immediately agreed to stay at home and rest.

As she returned to her room, Edith slammed her body on the mattress and rolled around to stare at the ceiling. The room was silent as Edith continued to be in the same position for a long time.

Suddenly, she raised her arms and bent them slightly, pretending that she was holding on to something.

"It was around this wide," Edith muttered to herself. 

Her head was imagining the way she had wrapped her arms around Neil's shoulders when he was giving her a piggyback ride and her lips curled into a silly smile.

It seemed as if she could still feel his temperature around seeping into her skin, warming her body.

Her face turned red with shyness. Edith covered her face with both hands and rolled around the bed as if this would help her to forget everything that happened that night.

She had a stroke of bad luck, running into a thief, but she had gained something good from that.

It was the first time someone had given her a piggyback ride. Although she was slightly embarrassed when the passersby stared at them, Edith could not deny that she was enjoying the situation. 

There was a tinge of pink on her cheek and a goofy smile on her face. 

The sky was dark at night, and inside the room, Edith was acting like a lovesick fool.

Just then, her phone rang beside her. Edith rolled around to reach for her phone and the smile on her face stretched up when she saw the caller ID. She swiped her finger on the screen and pressed the phone to her ear.

"Oh, you haven't sleep yet. This is good," Lily spoke as soon as the phone was connected. "Are you coming to my place after class tomorrow? I'm thinking of making spicy boiled fish and a few other dishes. Right, what do you want to eat? Say it. For once I will accept your request."

"Lily, I am not coming to your place tomorrow." 

"Ah? Why not?" 

"I am not going to class tomorrow. Something happened just now and my left ankle is swollen. I have to stay home and rest."

"What happened?" Lily started to panic upon hearing that her friend was injured. "Are you alright? Wait. That doesn't seem right. Your tone… why do I feel like you are happy?"

"Un. Lily, you are right. I am happy."

Hearing Edith's laughter on the other line, Lily Zhao was confused. Edith had told her that her ankle is swollen, but why does she sound so happy about it? Has she gone insane from pain?

"Edith, what happened to you? Tell me properly."

Edith giggled happily, confusing her friend. The giggle stopped abruptly and Edith sat up with excitement. "Lily! I almost forgot. I need your help."

Noticing that Edith's tone had turned serious, the frown on Lily's face disappeared as well. "What is it? You know that I will do anything I can for you."

"Lily, help me to think of a plan to confess."

"What kind of confession are we talking about? Did you do something bad and you need to confess your wrongdoings to your grandpa?" Lily laughed it off.

"No," her voice trailed off with a hint of sweetness. "If we're talking about a confession, of course, it's going to be a love confession."

Lily froze when she heard her friend's words. She had thought that she had probably misheard things, but Edith's silly laugh convinced her that she was not imagining things.

A cursing word escaped Lily. "A love confession? Who are you going to confess to?"

"Take a guess."

Lily started to think of the men around Edith. A few faces popped up in her mind, but Lily thought that Edith couldn't confess to those men. Another face appeared in her mind and suddenly the phone went dead.

Edith stared at her phone in confusion. Just as she was thinking of returning the call, Lily had a video called her instead. With a brief hesitation, Edith picked up the call.

"You and President Mo?" Lily stared at her friend in surprise. "You are going to confess to her? Damn, Edith, you better tell me what is going on right now, or else, you will suffer when I see you at the kindergarten this Monday."

Facing Lily's threat, Edith decided to reveal a little bit of what was going on.

"I was not expecting this," Lily finally spoke after a long silence. A few cursing words came out of her mouth as she was still in disbelief.

She used to joke around that Edith should try falling for President Mo as they were living together. But Lily was not expecting that Edith would fall for that man for real.

"Didn't you say you were not going to fall for someone as cold as President Mo? Lily teased. "What happened to that."

"Who said President Mo is cold?" Edith raised a brow. "That person was probably exaggerating. Lily, after being around him for a short time, that man isn't as cold as you thought. This iceblock can actually be very warm."

Lily saw Edith's love-struck expression on the phone screen and started to shiver. She was not expecting that her friend would like President Mo this much just after spending a short time together.

"I can help you with planning your confession," Lily said. "But what are you going to do if he did not share the same feeling like you?"

"What else can I do? If he did not like me, of course, I will choose to cut him off my feelings and move on." Edith shrugged.

Lily heaved a sigh, thinking that her friend could be cruel to herself to cut off her feeling just like that.

"But before that happened, I need to tell him my feelings," Edith continued. "There were a few more weeks before this living arrangement ended.. Before this period ended, I wanted to give him a confession. Lily, you will help me , right?"
