Li Tangyan had guessed several places Wen Zhaonian would take her during the long weekend, but she never expected him to take her back to S City.
The city where I lived alone during the time he wasn't there.
After the two put their luggage back in the hotel, Li Tangyan finally had a chance to stop the person who was about to push their suitcase back to their room.
She tilted her head and looked at Wen Zhaonian.
Although she already had a guess in her mind, she still tugged at his clothes and asked, "What made you decide to come here?"
"You already guessed it, why are you asking me?"
Seeing her blocking his way, Wen Zhaonian simply let go of the suitcase he was holding, and while holding her hand, he ran his fingertips across her skin.
Her metallic voice has a very grainy quality.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Tangyan's smile deepened.
He took a step forward, and as he rose on his tiptoes, his hands naturally went back up his shoulders and wrapped around his neck.
With a smile in her eyes, she said, "Would it have the same effect if I told you and you told me?"
She countered with a question, a sly glint in her clear eyes.
In response, Wen Zhaonian wrapped his arms around her waist, tightening his grip.
Then, while they were facing each other, he lifted her up and carried her to the sofa.
Although Li Tangyan gasped in surprise at his sudden movement, she quickly relaxed and wrapped her arms tightly around him like a koala.
After Wen Zhaonian lifted her to sit on the sofa, she heard his voice slowly coming from above her head: "Because I want to make up for the missing year."
She was involved in all of her life during that year when she wasn't herself.
As she spoke, Li Tangyan felt a weight on her shoulder.
Wen Zhaonian rested his chin on her shoulder from behind, his warm breath hitting her the moment he spoke.
His large palm covered hers, and he casually squeezed Li Tangyan's knuckles.
Her voice was languid, yet it was difficult to discern her true emotions: "But thankfully, you've finally returned."
Wen Zhaonian's words made Li Tangyan feel a sour feeling rising in her heart, bubbling and gurgling, quickly filling her heart and causing a wave of sourness.
She sniffed and mimicked Wen Zhaonian's finger movements, pressing on his knuckles: "What if I don't come back?"
"No, it won't happen." Wen Zhaonian's confident voice came from behind.
Upon hearing this, Li Tangyan raised an eyebrow.
Before she could even feel curious, a warm breath washed over her again: "I'm still here, you can't run away."
Pfft—
It's hard to say whether he did it on purpose, but there's no doubt that Wen Zhaonian's next words instantly dispelled most of the sadness in his heart.
When she spoke again, there was a hint of a smile in her voice: "You're that confident?"
As she spoke, she turned around and met Wen Zhaonian's gaze.
A smiling gaze swept over his equally smiling face.
Before Wen Zhaonian could refute, he nodded heavily.
He said quite frankly, "You're right, Attorney Wen is still here, he can't run away."
After saying that, perhaps out of shyness, or perhaps because she had discovered something fun, Li Tangyan quickly lowered her eyes again, pressing her fingertips against the area between his thumb and forefinger.
Her voice was very soft, and you could easily miss it if you weren't paying attention: "Actually, I know I was pretty heartless back then, flirting and then running away."
"I say I don't care, but I still can't let it go."
"But it's funny, you probably don't know, when I first came to S City, I always had the illusion that you were by my side."
"I remember once I saw a figure on the street that looked a lot like you, but when I chased after it, I realized it was just my imagination."
"But thinking about it, it makes sense. You must have been angry back then, so why would you want to see me?"
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, almost imperceptible.
However, just as Li Tangyan was getting lost in her memories, she was interrupted by Wen Zhaonian's next move.
He raised his hand and ruffled Li Tangyan's hair. When their eyes met, his dark eyes were focused and serious.
Then, as her Adam's apple bobbed, she heard Wen Zhaonian ask in a deep voice, "Li Zhouzhou, how can you be sure that it was just an illusion?"
