Chapter 118 The person I love is you.
Just as she was crying her heart out, a warm, large hand suddenly grasped her ankle.
"Sweetie, don't cry."
A gentle male voice came from behind her. Qin Shuzhi was startled and moved her hands away from her face to look down. She saw the man kneeling in front of her, bending down to put on her boots.
"What...what are you doing?" she asked, looking completely bewildered.
"Come out with me."
Shi Yuanxing looked up at her, then continued putting on her shoes. "I'll take you somewhere."
Qin Shuzhi was so confused from crying that her mind went blank and her reactions became much slower. She just let the man put on her shoes and coat for her in a daze, and then he pulled her out the door.
It wasn't until she was led by the hand and led around to the square behind the hotel, where a cold wind blew, that Qin Shuzhi shivered and came back to her senses.
She pulled her hand away from his grasp, stopped in her tracks, and looked at the tall man before her. "Where are you taking me?"
Shi Yuanxing looked down at her face, which was red from crying and still wet with tears, and gently wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.
"Let me introduce you to... the goddess I fell in love with at first sight."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi's long eyelashes trembled violently, and she almost instinctively resisted, "I don't want to."
She just cried so much, she must look terrible and pathetic now, and she doesn't want to appear in front of her sweetheart like that.
Seeing her turn to leave, Shi Yuanxing quickly reached out and grabbed her.
"It's just ahead. Since we're already here, let's go see it."
Finally, Qin Shuzhi was half-dragged and half-coaxed to a bus stop across the street from the square.
Seeing that he stopped there and didn't move, Qin Shuzhi assumed that he was going to take the high-speed train, so she didn't ask any more questions or try to escape anymore. She just stood there silently with her head down, waiting.
Actually, she was feeling conflicted at that moment.
She didn't want to meet Shi Yuanxing's white moonlight.
But deep down, he couldn't help but want to see what kind of outstanding woman could capture his heart and make him love only her.
"This is the place where I first met my goddess."
As her thoughts wandered, the man beside her suddenly said something, and Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but look up at him, then glanced around.
On the other side of the square is a bustling commercial street, where most of the people gather at this time.
The area across the street from where they are now is relatively quiet, with only a few scattered pedestrians passing by.
It was very quiet around.
Qin Shuzhi calmed down and looked around, and was surprised to find that the place looked familiar. She seemed to have been in this area before when she was traveling...
"Are you ready to meet my goddess?"
The man's slightly amused voice pulled Qin Shuzhi back to reality. She looked up at him, couldn't help but hum in response, and murmured, "Fine, I'll see you then."
Who's afraid of who? She's not bad off at all.
That's what she thought, but Qin Shuzhi still felt a pang of jealousy.
Pretending to look around, she turned her back to secretly smooth her hair and straighten her coat before turning back to look at Shi Yuanxing with her head held high.
"Come on, where shall we meet?"
Shi Yuanxing noticed her little actions, suppressed a laugh, reached out and took her arm, turning her around to face the glass display window of the bus shelter.
He stood behind her, leaned close to her ear and said, "Look closely, this is my goddess."
Facing the glass shop window, Qin Shuzhi couldn't see clearly, so she moved her face closer and took a closer look. She saw an advertisement photo of a local, sexy, and beautiful actress in the shop window.
Is this...his goddess?
So, he... he... he likes women with such a huge bust?
Qin Shuzhi took a deep breath and looked down at his chest with self-reproach.
Although she has a decent figure, compared to a woman with such a stunning figure, she is indeed... lacking.
All right.
She lost out just because of her figure.
She just never expected that the seemingly upright and virtuous Mr. Shi would actually...
She stiffened, silently turned around, and looked at the man behind her with a complicated expression.
"So... you like this kind of thing."
Shi Yuanxing hadn't been paying attention to what was in the shop window, but seeing her strange gaze, he couldn't help but follow her example and lean closer to look inside—
When his eyes fell on that sexy and alluring lingerie advertisement poster, he almost fainted.
What is all this nonsense?
When he met the woman's gaze that looked at him like he was a pervert, Shi Yuanxing felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.
He quickly pulled the person to a spot where there were no billboards, saying, "I'm talking about this person."
Qin Shuzhi leaned closer to the glass to look, "There's no one here."
Shi Yuanxing raised his hand and held her head, pulling it back. "Take another good look."
Then, Qin Shuzhi saw a woman clearly reflected in the glass.
The woman wore a long white coat with matching ankle boots, her long hair flowing, and her features delicate and beautiful.
This person was none other than Qin Shuzhi himself.
Looking at his reflection in the glass, Qin Shuzhi stared blankly, his mind completely blank.
"Did you see it clearly?"
The man behind her leaned close to her ear, his thin lips lightly brushing against her earlobe, and uttered, "My goddess."
Whether it was the soft touch on her ear or his words, Qin Shuzhi felt a sharp tremor in her heart.
"Your goddess..."
She slowly turned around, looked up at him with an incredulous and bewildered expression, and asked uncertainly, "...It's me?"
Shi Yuanxing looked at her tenderly, affectionately, and firmly, and gave her an affirmative answer.
"Yes, the person I like is you."
Qin Shuzhi's heart pounded wildly, but her mind went blank. "This, how is this possible?"
Why is it impossible?
"We only met after you returned to China. How could the person you like here be me?"
Qin Shuzhi's mind cleared up a bit, and she realized that he was just deceiving her.
"You came here two years ago, don't you have any recollection of it?"
Qin Shuzhi's long eyelashes suddenly trembled, and her thoughts became clearer.
Yes, she did indeed vacation in this country two years ago that summer.
But she was only passing through the city and stayed there for a short time. If she hadn't just looked at the streets and buildings and had some recollection of them, she wouldn't even remember ever being in a square.
Besides, even if she had been here before, she wouldn't know him.
Shi Yuanxing pulled the stunned and bewildered woman into his arms, then turned to look at the coffee shop across the street.
"That coffee shop, the one you went in for coffee, do you remember?"
Qin Shuzhi looked in the direction he was looking, and saw an art café.
She remembered this store; she had indeed been inside it at the time.
"I remember, but... what does that have to do with us?"
Shi Yuanxing looked down at her, a smile curving his lips. "Of course it's related, because this is where our fate began."
