It has been four years since she left him, hasn’t it?

Four years… For more than a thousand days and nights, he had been thinking about her and searching for her, but it was as if she had vanished into thin air. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find her.

..

Beijing Grand Hotel.

Xia Shangzhou had been busying himself with Lin Jiayi’s birthday party since noon.

“That purple thing is gone. She hates that color the most.”

“The lilies are gone as well. Remember, don’t let any lilies appear in the places where she will appear. She doesn’t really like the smell of lilies, so she finds them pungent.”

“Try to preserve the flavor of this dish as much as possible. Don’t put too much seasoning on it. She likes the original taste of this dish.”

“When the dishes are served, this dish must be placed closest to her. She likes it… and this winter yin kung fu soup must also be placed next to her. She doesn’t like it, but this soup is good for her body. If it’s placed next to her, she will drink a little… hold this blanket for me first. The air conditioning here is sufficient at night, so it will definitely be cold. She will need it…”

“Help me put away this pair of flats first. Remember to bring it to me as soon as the banquet is over… also, I want piano music. She likes piano music… There are almonds in the cake, right? “She likes to eat… Remember to use less soy sauce in all the dishes. She’s been whitening recently because she went to the beach a while ago and got a tan. She said that she wants to keep it back and not touch soy sauce…”

“Oh, and…”Xia Shangzhou was about to continue when he thought for a moment and stopped.”… I forgot. Let me think about it first…”

The manager of the Beijing Hotel next to Xia Shangzhou jotted down the details of what Xia Shangzhou said one by one, he could not help but say half-jokingly, “Mr. Xia, you’ve always been so attentive to Miss Lin. Those who don’t know would think that you like Miss Lin.”

Hearing this, Xia Shangzhou laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. “You also know, but you don’t know. She’s the boss. I have to kneel down to her.”

The manager said a few “Yes, yes, yes”and then left to do his work.

When there was no one around, the smile on Xia Shangzhou’s face instantly disappeared, and a touch of sadness appeared in his eyes.

Was his expression that obvious? It was as if he had heard more and more similar words in the past year..

However… he had never dared to expect anything from her. He treated her well, but he only liked her well.

With this thought in mind, Xia Shangzhou walked out of Beijing Grand Hotel and headed to the supermarket beside it. He picked out a pack of sanitary pads that Lin Jiayi liked to use.

He had wanted to ask the hotel manager to prepare them for him, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that it was a private matter and inappropriate.

Her period was coming up in the next two days, so she would never prepare these things in advance.

..

Lin Jiayi’s birthday banquet was scheduled for 7 pm.

But it was already 7:30 pm, and Lin Jiayi still hadn’t shown up.

The whole family called Lin Jiayi one by one, but no one picked up.

It was already 8 pm, but there was still no sign of Lin Jiayi.

With Lin Shi around, it was impossible for them to go hungry. Thus, old Mister Lin ordered everyone to start eating.

However, Xia Shangzhou wasn’t in the mood to eat. He secretly called Lin Jiayi several times, but she still couldn’t be reached. Thus, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and left Beijing Grand Hotel, driving over to look for her.
