Xu Ziyu looked at her. She used to be someone you could spot at a glance. What had happened to make her eyes hold such deep sorrow?

She had been avoiding him ever since he returned to China.

He had initially thought she was angry about the break in contact, but now it was clear that wasn't the case.

And the boyfriend she mentioned is about to marry another man.

So, if she's neither angry nor has she fallen for someone else, why is she avoiding him?

"Sorry, please tell Cheng Ming that I'm not feeling well and I have to go." Luo Xikui felt that she could no longer stay by Xu Ziyu's side. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but hug him, and she was about to lose control of her feelings.

"Wait a minute." Xu Ziyu stood up to stop him.

Luo Xikui pushed his arm away and walked quickly.

At this moment, Cheng Ming returned, and Xu Ziyu apologized to him before striding towards Luo Xikui.

Luo Xikui entered the elevator, but he was a step too late and took another elevator.

Upon reaching the first floor, he saw Luo Xikui already at the main entrance and quickly followed, shouting, "Luo Xikui, you stop right there!"

After hearing the voice behind her, Luo Xikui turned around and saw that Xu Ziyu was about to catch up, so she ran.

Xu Ziyu ran out after her, but a sudden pain in his knee told him he had to run faster, so he grabbed her wrist at the fountain.

"Let go!" Luo Xi Kui tried to shake him off, but couldn't. Tears streamed down her face, and she pounded his chest with her other fist, sobbing, "Let go, let go!"

With a slight twist of his wrist, Xu Ziyu pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

Luo Xikui initially resisted, but his strength was greater than she had imagined, and she was firmly restrained.

She burst into tears in his arms, not knowing what to do, overwhelmed with grief, sobbing intermittently, "Xu Ziyu, let me go..."

He remained unmoved, lowering his head to her neck, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, and said in a low voice, "Why is that? Are you such an easy person to give up on? Don't you keep your promises?"

Luo Xikui couldn't answer; she couldn't say anything.

"Say you don't like me anymore, say it!" Xu Ziyu took her out of his arms, pressed down on her shoulder with one hand, and lifted her chin with the other.

Luo Xikui was forced to look up at him, her lips trembling uncontrollably: "I...I don't like it..."

Before she could utter the word "you," Xu Ziyu sealed her annoying mouth with his own, lest she say something that would anger him again.

Luo Xikui was stunned. Her big eyes, brimming with tears, widened in surprise. His face was so close to hers that she could see his eyelashes clearly.

Suddenly, water gushed out from the fountain, forming a colorful water curtain under the shimmering light. It was exceptionally beautiful, and she felt some water splash onto her face, leaving it wet.

Their lips remained pressed together for a long time before Xu Ziyu finally moved his face away. The tips of his ears were slightly red, but his expression remained aloof: "Don't be hypocritical in the future. If you don't like me, why does your heart jump out of your chest every time you kiss me?"

"Who's going to jump out! This is my first kiss!" Luo Xikui was still in a rush of blood to her head and forgot to run away.

"It's as if I'm not one of them." Xu Ziyu turned her head away, her earlobes turning red, but she still pretended to be calm.
