Chapter 32 Help me put it on
His breath drew closer, making her gasp for air.
"What's there to be afraid of? I certainly wouldn't dare to cause trouble on your cousin's turf. Isn't that a good thing?"
Forced to meet the gaze of the person in front of her, Luo Tingwei felt uneasy under his stare and decided to just go for it.
"Now that you know, aren't you afraid I'll take this opportunity to leave you?"
Li Yanzhou chuckled lightly, "Afraid? Of course I'm afraid."
"Then why are you so confident in letting me go?"
His smile deepened, his tone calm, yet carrying the certainty and composure of a predator.
"Whether you leave or stay is up to you; whether you stay or not is entirely up to me."
Having said that, he casually brushed his long fingers across her face, his eyes shifting...
"I'd like to see if your cousin can take you away from me."
Hearing his words, Luo Tingwei felt a chill in her heart.
Although her cousin had a good relationship with her, he also had his own principles and bottom line.
If Li Yanzhou were to set a trap or resort to underhanded methods, even if Huo Zhizhou wanted to save her, he would ultimately have to weigh the pros and cons.
If it really came to that, she didn't want to put her cousin in a difficult position.
Seeing her looking completely lost, he felt no pleasure as he had imagined; instead, he felt a sense of melancholy.
He didn't want to scare her.
However, it's better to clarify some things beforehand, so that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
He didn't want her to experience that feeling of falling from heaven to hell, like she was dying.
Seeing her sad made him feel bad too.
"Alright, go to sleep early and stop overthinking."
Li Yanzhou turned off the light, got into bed, and hugged her from behind.
Her waist is so flexible.
In the darkness, he smelled her scent and felt a sense of peace.
However, I'm also afraid that this feeling will be fleeting.
Luo Tingwei, you can only be mine.
He thought to himself.
Luo Tingwei was held in his arms, her feelings were complicated. She had thought it was the last night, but she was suddenly told that things were not so easy to end. She felt completely deflated.
**
It was already afternoon when the private plane arrived at Fiejee Island.
Huo Zhizhou personally came to the airport to greet him.
Now that Li Yanzhou knew their identities, he didn't bother pretending anymore.
So, Huo Zhizhou kept a straight face, and after a moment, he began to attack the man in front of him.
"Mr. Li, if you want to take it by force, I can't stop you. Just treat my sister well. Why has she lost so much weight?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tingwei's expression immediately changed.
What happened??
That's not how you start, bro.
Huo Zhizhou is such a fickle person.
Before we arrived, we clearly agreed that, "Hey, you surnamed Li, I'm taking my sister away today."
How did you become such a pathetic person?
Moreover, she has clearly gained a lot of weight since Uncle Zhong came.
Li Yanzhou glanced at him with slight surprise, his tone low and gloomy.
"Young Master Huo is joking. Your sister is clearly well-fed and plump, how could she be thin?"
Huo Zhizhou was actually nitpicking.
After all, Luo Tingwei's clothes and appearance were perfectly normal, and she looked like a little bird clinging to Li Yanzhou, so there was nothing unusual about her.
He couldn't find any fault with him, so he could only lie through his teeth and put him in a difficult position first.
His original plan was that Luo Tingwei would appear before him dressed in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair, a sallow complexion, and a listless expression, giving him a perfect excuse to bring her back.
But now... he doesn't know how to speak.
Troublesome.
Even when they had just gotten off the plane, Li Yanzhou was holding her hand.
He even had the illusion that he was about to break up the couple.
never mind.
Huo Zhizhou thought for a moment and decided to observe the situation carefully. Perhaps all this harmony was just a facade.
These past few days, due to the Luoshen Festival, the island has invited many guests, making the Huo Family Manor exceptionally lively.
Huo Zhizhou specially arranged two rooms for them, which were far apart.
Li Yanzhou didn't say anything and readily accepted it.
Just then, a waiter knocked on the door and brought over a plate with a blue ribbon on it.
This is a custom of the Luoshen Festival.
During the festival, everyone on the island receives a ribbon.
Single men are represented by blue, while single women are represented by red.
If you are not single, you need to tie an orange ribbon on your wrist beforehand.
If you are single, you can give a ribbon to someone you like on the island to express your feelings.
Once the other person accepts your feelings, they will wear the ribbon they received on their wrist.
Li Yanzhou wasn't very interested in the Luoshen Festival.
He came here solely for Luo Tingwei.
After the waiter put down the tray, he only glanced at it and didn't pay much attention.
Li Yanzhou didn't have any bodyguards with him; he just wandered around the island by himself.
He heard that she and her mother had once lived on this island, so he suddenly had the idea to come and experience the island's atmosphere on his own.
It's peak tourist season, and there are quite a few tourists on the island.
Li Yanzhou was walking alone on the road, the sound of cicadas chirping in the summer air, when suddenly a fluttering red figure appeared before his eyes.
It turned out to be a girl wearing a red dress.
He was stunned, and his thoughts immediately went blank.
Flashback.
Five years ago...
He got tired of swimming and sat down on a bench by the shore to rest. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a red figure at the bar across the street.
It's her again.
He always seemed to see her sitting there drinking.
However, the drinks at that bar were clearly just so-so.
Hmm... she's looking this way.
He awkwardly looked away.
She was startled and quickly moved away.
Two seconds later, they looked at each other again.
...
Li Yanzhou snapped out of his daze and heard someone calling him.
"Little brother."
A round-faced girl appeared in front of him, her face flushed slightly.
"Here, take this."
The round-faced girl quickly stuffed the red ribbon in her hand into his hand.
Before he could even react, he had already run away in a flash.
Li Yanzhou stared at the red ribbon in his hand, puzzled, and casually threw it into the trash can.
However, as he continued his journey, he received more and more red ribbons.
I even received a few blue ones...
In the end, he had a handful in his hand.
**
Luo Tingwei was half asleep when she heard the knocking. Reluctantly, she got out of bed and opened the door.
"Cousin, I'm not hungry, let me sleep a little longer..."
She thought it was Huo Zhizhou coming to urge her to eat, and muttered something as soon as the door opened.
In an instant, she came to her senses.
Li Yanzhou looked at her with a half-smile, as if looking at a kitten, "Just woke up?"
"What's up?"
Luo Tingwei gripped the doorknob, looking warily at the person entering, as if she had a strong sense of boundaries.
At that moment, the man glanced at the tray on the table behind her, where a red ribbon was prominently displayed.
Then he extended his wrist, gestured to her with his chin, and said with a playful tone,
"Go get it and help me put it on."
