You Are My Starlight

Dreamland

She dreamed of herself lying helplessly in bed, a tube inserted in her arm to draw blood. A bag of fresh blood was placed next to it — it was the blood that had just been drawn from her.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, giving one the feeling of hopelessness.

“Mianmian, your sister needs blood. You’re the only one in our family that has the same blood type as her. You and your sister are so close. Can you bear to see her die?”

How many times has this happened?

There’s been countless times since she was young.

Whenever her sister needed blood, she had to give “willingly”.

She had wanted to ask her father many times: she was his biological daughter, but why did he treat Su Feifei better than her?

“Still not done?” The door opened and a glamorous-looking woman came in.

It was only after hearing her words that Su Mianmian found herself floating in the air.

She was a little confused as she looked down at herself – she was not moving. Is she... dead?

No wonder she felt so cold.

“Why are you here? How can no one be looking after Feifei?” Su Weize said angrily.

“If I don’t come over, what’s going to happen to Feifei if you become softhearted?” After Bai Meifeng was certain that Su Mianmian was asleep, she stretched out her hand and pointed at her, saying coldly, “Don’t forget the things that her mother did. Otherwise, she wouldn’t…”

“Shut up! Don’t say anymore.” Su Weize said impatiently, “As long as Mianmian is around, nothing will happen to Feifei. Feifei’s been looking rather pale lately, transfuse more blood this time.”

No!

Father! She felt very painful and very cold; she didn’t want to feel the cold needle being inserted into her blood vessels again!

Su Mianwan looked at Su Weize with blurry and tearful eyes as he called for the nurse, wanting to draw another bag of blood.

After hearing her, the nurse said disapprovingly, “Sir, your daughter’s weight is already below normal. She will be in life-threatening condition if you continue to draw blood. I suggest that we stop drawing blood immediately.”

“My daughter is in urgent need of blood. Are you going to take responsibility if anything happens? Draw the blood quick. Mianmian has always been healthy, nothing will go wrong!”

“But…”

“Cut the crap! Do it now or I’ll get your director to fire you!”

...

No one cared about Su Mianmian’s feelings. Blood was lost from her body bit by bit, and the whole world became blood-red. Her breathing got more difficult, and she gradually lost consciousness while the voice in her ear turned fuzzy...

It was only when all this was broken by a crisp sound of a bell that the image in the dream suddenly disappeared.

As though frightened, Su Mianmian suddenly sat up from the chair and stared at the door with blurry eyes.

It was rare to have such lengthy rains in S City during winter. It had gone on for a week. The sky was gloomy, and the rain had never stopped.

Even the business at the cake shop Su Mianmian worked at was bad, and there were less than two customers the whole day. Seeing that the weather wouldn’t improve, the boss handed the shop to Su Mianmian and went to play mahjong with friends.

Seeing that there were no customers, Su Mianmian took a nap at the checkout counter but was awakened by the wind chimes at the door.

She looked up in a daze, and light seemed to shine through the door where a man who was completely incompatible with the style of the cake shop walked in.

Probably due to her wild imagination, Su Mianmian suddenly thought of a killer.

The man was about twenty-seven years old. The weather now was close to ten degrees celsius, but he was only wearing a thin black trench coat and his hands were casually inserted into the pockets. Because of his height, he had been looking down at the cake in the glass counter since he came in.

Su Mian Mian noticed that his hair was slightly wet. Perhaps he had walked here?

“Hello, sir, can I help you?” Su Mianmian introduced, “We have recently launched a new Icy World, would you like to give it a try?”

Upon hearing her, the man looked up at Su Mianmian.

Su Mianmian noticed that his facial features were very well-defined. He seemed to be of mixed-blood, and his gaze was very sharp. With just a slight glance, she felt cold all over.

Why did she feel like she was about to be murdered?

Su Mianmian looked at him with her eyes wide open and did not dare move.

But the man only took a glance at her before looking down and continued studying the cakes.

Su Mianmian heaved a sigh of relief and felt the frozen air circulating again.

So frightening, what does this man do?

She wanted to quickly send the uninvited guest away, but had no courage to make conversation again.

Manager, why aren’t you back yet?

“What is Icy World made of?” The man’s voice was as cold as his appearance.

Su Mianmian quickly replied, “We use imported cheese and butter imported from New Zealand. The cake layer has a sweet combination of mango and nata de coco, and the top layer is sprinkled with freshly ground coconut powder.”

After she finished the introduction, she noticed that the man did not seem to be satisfied, so she added another sentence.

“Would you like me to tell you about the creative concept of this cake?”

The man cast his sharp gaze over.

Su Mianmian swallowed hard and said, “If there is a need...” So frightening.

“Why aren’t there strawberries?”

Ah!

Why? Right! Why doesn’t this cake have strawberries; how was she supposed to know why?!

She was only working part-time!

Boss, why aren’t you around?

Although Su Mianmian’s mind was running wild, she looked at him with an utmost sincere expression and replied sluggishly, “I think your suggestion is very good. I will give feedback to the boss when he comes back and suggest that he change the mango in this cake to strawberries. Would that be fine for you?”

If it’s fine, please leave.

Goodbye!

The man looked at Su Mianmian again until she was in a cold sweat, and said, “Wrap this cake for me.”

“Huh?” Su Mianmian was stunned for a while before saying, “The whole cake?”

It was a six-pound cake.

The man nodded.

After hearing this, Su Mianmian finally had a sincere smile on her face.

Her income was tied to the cakes she sold. If this cake was sold, she would have an extra thirty dollars of commission .

Su Mianmian wrapped the cake nimbly, smiled and said, “Uncle, a total of six hundred and fifty RMB.”

Uncle? After hearing the form of address, the man’s mouth turned into a meaningful smile.

This smile gave him an evil disposition all over.

Having just lost her mind due to money, Su Mianmian became much bolder all of a sudden. Seeing him now was like seeing a moving money note, and she was no longer afraid.

She said with a smile, “I’m not yet twenty this year, so I guess I’m not overdoing it by calling you Uncle?”

Su Mianmian had sweet features. Her big eyes seemed to be able to talk, and the dimples that showed when she laughed were very likeable.

In Huo Ting’s world, no one had ever dared to talk to him this way. But he had accidentally entered this shop today and this little girl had no idea who he was, so he wasn’t too particular about it.

Looking at the dimples at the corner of her mouth, he felt a little turned on, but he didn’t plan to do anything.

His world wasn’t suitable for such a clean person to enter, so let all this be just an interlude.

When he left the cake shop with the cake, he noticed that the raining sky had actually cleared up.

“Goodbye, uncle!” Su Mianmian smiled and waved.

He turned and took a glance. The girl’s clean and clear smile tugged at his heart gently like a feather.

Some good things should be left in memory.

...

A handsome man in a black suit bowed his head and said, “Mr. Huo, please let me hold it.”

Huo Ting handed the cake to him. After getting into the car, he asked casually, “Settled?”

“Yes.” The man replied respectfully. “I am sorry to let you wait outside for so long. Because the person who came this time is... from there, so it took some time.”

After Huo Ting gave an acknowledgement,?he saw his subordinate’s awkward expression, and said, “Anything else?”

“Old Master Huo said that since all the blind dates this time have been finished, he wondered what did you think?”

Huo Ting’s silence was a little long. When his subordinate thought that he wouldn’t answer, he heard him say, “Too old.”

So that’s why!

The subordinate silently remembered this information. Don’t tell me Young Master Huo’s blind dates have been unsuccessful because he likes younglings?
