Being dumped was indeed an embarrassing thing. But somehow, exposing Lisa's wound made Jennie upset.

As she sat inside the car, Jennie remained silent, as if she was scared of saying something wrong.

The car entered the basement carpark of Lisa's house. He released the seatbelt, reached out, and patted Jennie's head. "Don't blame yourself. Since I can openly talk about this matter, I'm obviously past it."

Hearing this, Jennie stopped blaming herself as well. She gave Lisa a sweet smile and shamelessly said, "That's also true. She's your past, but I'm your future. I'll be Brother Lili's forever."

Lisa remained silent, but his gaze towards her had deepened slightly.

"Yup. You're right."

After alighting, Lisa opened the car boot to retrieve her stuff. When he removed the luggage from the boot, he accidentally pulled the wooden box along. As a result, it fell to the ground and a black rope dropped out.

"What dropped?" Jennie heard the sound and hurried over. When she saw what had happened, she was rather uptight, and her voice turned sharper.

Lisa was already squatting on the floor to pick up the box. As he gathered the rope in his hand, Jennie ran over in big strides. She then squatted beside Lisa, reached out, and quickly snatched the rope from Lisa's grip.

She looked slightly fierce.

Jennie held that rope with her right hand and placed it in front of her. She then inspected it, looking like her heart ached badly.

"I'm sorry, just now I accidentally..." Lisa felt bad and turned around to apologize to Jennie. But when Lisa got a clearer look at the rope necklace in Jennie's palm, he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.

Lisa stared at that necklace in astonishment.

It was a black rope tied into a knot. It had a few golden beads in the middle, and at the end of the rope hung a jade buckle. As Lisa stared at that buckle, his eyes flowed slightly.

He looked down at Jennie's face and heard her murmuring away. "I've already said that it's a token from my first love. If you were to damage it, will you be able to compensate me?" Jennie was like a lioness whose territory had been invaded, showing her sharp claws towards Lisa for the first time.

Lisa remained silent.

Jennie placed the buckle on her cheek and felt its smoothness. Just the thought of it damaged stroke fear in her.

"Luckily, it didn't shatter." Jennie's heart ached badly. She snatched that wooden box from Lisa's hand.

Jennie carefully placed the buckle back inside the box, and then she raised her head. She roared, "You're not allowed to touch it in the future. If you damage it, I'll get even with you."

Lisa remained silent.

Seeing that Lisa was silent, Jennie thought she went overboard and made Lisa feel guilty. Since she depended on him for her life, she couldn't afford to offend him. Hence, she apologized, "Brother Lili, I'm sorry, I was too anxious..."

She lost herself just now.

Lisa finally spoke. "It's my fault. I shouldn't touch your cherished possession without your permission."

He apologized sincerely. Jennie glanced at him mildly, and she said that it was okay. She then hugged that box and then turned around to walk away.

Lisa reacted as he got up and followed Jennie's footsteps. After entering the lift, Lisa looked at the two figures reflected from the wall of the lift. He suddenly asked, "How did your first love look like?"
