Surrounding the pedestrian street, there were many small restaurants. At this moment, in a corner of one restaurant, a man and a woman were eating several stir-fried dishes.

"Ye Feng, isn't this restaurant a bit too small? Should we find another one?" Xu Ningxue, looking at the tiny restaurant that was only a few dozen square meters and the four plates of greens on the table, asked Ye Feng.

"No need, these small restaurants have more unique dishes! And they taste good too!" Ye Feng wasn't picky about food, and he could tell that Xu Ningxue, an intern, didn't have much money.

Xu Ningxue seemed to understand Ye Feng's thinking and knew that he was trying to save her money, which moved her. Especially after he claimed her as his woman in front of so many people that evening, a blush crept onto Xu Ningxue's pretty face.

However, despite this, Xu Ningxue still took out the bank card from her pocket and placed it on the table: "Ye Feng, I really can't accept the money in this card! The account was collected by you, so the commission should be yours!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Feng's expression instantly dropped, and he shook his head, "Stop talking like that, otherwise I'll really get angry! Just keep it!"

Seeing Ye Feng's stern face, Xu Ningxue panicked a little. After hesitating, she could only reluctantly put it away, but she was pondering how to get Ye Feng to accept the money.

The two of them didn't drink alcohol, so the meal was finished quickly.

Checking the time and finding it was just after seven in the evening, Xu Ningxue turned to Ye Feng with a slightly blushing face and asked:

"Ye Feng, it's still early, how about we go see a movie together?"

Xu Ningxue was somewhat nervous as she had never been to a movie theater, and she was especially worried about taking the initiative to ask Ye Feng, fearing he might reject.

"Sure!" Ye Feng naturally had no objections. He wiped his mouth and nodded in agreement.

Seeing how agreeable Ye Feng was, and thinking back to how he dealt with the thugs earlier, Xu Ningxue asked with confusion, "Ye Feng, who exactly are you?"

"Hm?" Ye Feng was initially taken aback, then he responded with a cheeky smile, "I'm a man, you don't believe me? I can take off my pants and show you!"

Pfft!

Ye Feng's remark set off a chain reaction. Many customers in the restaurant who heard this and had just taken a sip of their drinks instantly sprayed it out. In no time, the whole restaurant was in disarray.

Xu Ningxue didn't expect Ye Feng to say something like that. With her face beet red, she quickly grabbed Ye Feng and ran out of the restaurant.

...

Shallow Bay Cinema was a famous movie theater in Shallow Bay.

At this time, it was just past eight at night, at the peak of movie-going rush hour. The place was bustling with people, and long lines had formed at the ticket windows.

In the lobby of the cinema, there were many large posters, all showing the hottest movies in China at the time.

Ye Feng was now standing in front of a poster, staring blankly at the female lead pictured on it.

This female lead's appearance was incredibly sweet. Dressed in an ancient white dress, she exuded a transcendental aura, like Chang'e descending to the mortal world, captivating at first glance.

"Wow! Zhang Zihan's 'City of Love' is finally out! Let's watch this one!"

"I heard this movie is about a woman's once-in-a-lifetime love for her lover! With her lover gone to the battlefield and news of him ceased, the woman steadfastly guards their home, unwavering in her devotion! Our National Goddess plays this lovestruck character!"

"It's not just that. Didn't the National Goddess Zhang Zihan herself say at the premiere of 'City of Love' that the reason she took the role was to honor her first love? And she hopes that after he sees it, he will come back to her!"

"Wow, that's so romantic! I really wonder, what does our goddess's first love look like, to make her so hopelessly devoted! You have to know, Zhang Zihan is Hong Kong's number one beauty, with an endless stream of pursuers behind her!"

"Exactly! Zhang Zihan is the entertainment industry's brightest SuperNova, being crowned a junior singing queen and called a junior film queen for her acting! Yet, she has never been involved in any scandals to date, which shows just how much weight her first love holds in her heart!"

...

Surrounding Ye Feng, many young people looked at the "City of Love" poster, discussing enthusiastically and full of anticipation for the epic love story within the movie.

Upon hearing their discussions, a sharp tremor went through Ye Feng's heart, as the memories of Ru Yan seemed to resurface before his eyes.

That year, he was 17, in his first year with the Shadow Group! His first mission was to guard Hong Kong's wealthy Zhang Family's young miss, Zhang Zihan, and at the same time, to kill Greedy Wolf Gotze, ranked tenth on the global list of ruthless criminals!

Three months later, he had successfully completed the mission, Zhang Zihan was unharmed, and Greedy Wolf Gotze was killed on the spot!

On the day he completed his mission and returned to the Shadow Group, the night sky was pouring with rain!

"Ye Feng, take me with you, please! Take me with you, no matter where, to the ends of the earth, I, Zhang Zihan, will stay by your side! Just don't leave me! Don't go..."

That rainy day, Ye Feng had completed his debut mission with the Shadow Group and returned with glory!

It was also that rainy day when Zhang Zihan had cried so heartbreakingly!

Thinking of that young girl running barefoot in the pouring rain for miles chasing after him, falling and getting injured yet never giving up, Ye Feng felt a twinge of pain in his heart!

At that time, he was new to the field, facing Greedy Wolf Gotze, the tenth ranked top expert on the global list of ruthless criminals, which was exceptionally dangerous!

In those three months, he and Zhang Zihan had experienced several life-and-death moments, and it was precisely because of this that sparks unforgettable to them both had flown between them!

However, he was a member of the Shadow Group and couldn't have personal affairs, much less any further contact with Zhang Zihan, which made him decisively leave!

Two years had flown by, and Ye Feng thought that Zhang Zihan must have long forgotten those times, but unexpectedly...

"First Love..." Ye Feng's mouth curled with a hint of bitterness. Those three months were not just Zhang Zihan's first love, but his as well!

In the following two years, although he had been with countless women, he never had feelings for any of them, which was also partly due to Zhang Zihan!

Nevertheless, after returning to civilian life, he likewise wouldn't seek out Zhang Zihan, because they were people from different worlds.

Zhang Zihan had a prominent family background, a noble status, and now she was a SuperNova of the entertainment industry with a limitless future. Whereas Ye Feng just wanted to be an ordinary person, to have an ordinary life, to have an ordinary family, and to live out an ordinary person's life!

That was all!

"The past is like smoke, scattered with the wind!" Ye Feng muttered to himself, then closed his eyes, refusing to take another look at the poster.

"Ye Feng, what's wrong?" Just then, Xu Ningxue came over with the tickets she had bought.

Ye Feng shook his head, casting all his thoughts out of his mind, and then his mood recovered, "I'm fine! Did you get the tickets?"

"Got them! 'City of Love,' starring my idol Zhang Zihan!" Xu Ningxue was as happy as a little girl, showing Ye Feng the two tickets in her hand with a wave.

...

Ye Feng was speechless, covered with sweat. It was true - whatever you're afraid of, that's what you get!
