“Stefan!” Renee jogged over to the dashing man, who was still enjoying the sun under the pavilion. She chirped
gleefully and said, “I picked a lot of apricots. Would you like some?”
Hearing the woman’s cheery voice, he couldn’t help but feel reassured. His heart grew warm, just as the gentle sunlight, as he
asked softly, “Are they sweet?”
“Of course! Tastes just like first love!” Renee exclaimed, choosing another big one and cleaning it with her shirt again. She
handed it to the man enthusiastically. “Take a bite!”
At the same time, she took out her phone and turned on the camera, hoping to capture the man’s expression while smoldering
from the taste.
In actuality, she had been saving quite a lot of photos and videos that could potentially destroy Stefan’s image. As if she were
dying from a terminal illness, she knew she had not much time left with him.
Hence, she instinctively recorded every moment with the man, hoping to reminisce about these memories in the future.
In some way, her relationship with Stefan was somewhat similar to ’cancer,’ as it was practically irreparable. If they were
destined to never work out, she wished to create as many good memories as possible. She might have to rely on these fond
memories to live on, after all.
“Thank you.” Stefan took the apricot and bit down elegantly, chewing slowly.
“How is it?” Renee’s eyes widened from excitement, and her hands started to feel numb from holding her phone up. She couldn’t
wait to see Stefan’s strong reaction.
“Pretty good.” Stefan nodded as if he was enjoying it, calmly taking another bite.
“Pretty good?” Renee narrowed her eyes in confusion.
‘Could it be that his fruit was exceptionally sweet? Just how lucky is this man?’
“Want some?” Stefan then handed the rest of the apricot to Renee.
“Mmh!”
Before she could refuse, he shoved the apricot right into her mouth... Yet another wave of sourness burst through her taste
buds.
“Hey, Stefan! You did this on purpose, didn’t you?” The woman huffed as she covered her mouth.
“Didn’t you say it was as sweet as first love?” Stefan’s usual cold expression was finally replaced with a soft smile. “I genuinely
wanted you to have a taste of first love.”
“You’re so annoying. You know I hate sour stuff the most, yet you still prank me like this!” Renee found him ridiculous and
couldn’t help the urge to punch the man playfully.
‘This guy... is exactly like how he was before! He’s such a sadist!’
‘What is this called again? Like lifting a giant rock and accidentally crushing my own feet?’
Just then, despite not using a lot of strength, Stefan instantly fell to the ground as soon as she delivered her punch.
“Huh?” Renee was dumbfounded as she stared at the fallen man. Her first assumption was that the man was still messing with
her.
“Hey, you’re being so dramatic. Are you really that fragile? You fainted from such a light punch? Come on, get up...
people are going to laugh at you.”
However, no matter how much she spoke, the man lay still as if he had... died.
