Chapter 132 Even in the last moment before I forgot you, I still wanted to hold you.
Before I met that flower girl.
He also wanted to just accept things as they were.
He could tell that this woman seemed to love him very much, almost to the point of madness.
Therefore, even if he has no feelings for her, as long as he doesn't have another woman in his heart, he can still continue to live with her like this.
But……
He eventually met the woman who made his heart race one afternoon at a street corner.
Her rose-gold hair shone brightly in the sunlight, drawing his gaze to her.
Nina hugged his leg. "Yes, I like you. I've liked you since the first moment I saw you. So, Leon, please try to like me too, I'm begging you..."
Li Yanzhou crouched down, intending to help her up.
Nina watched his actions with a mixture of flattery and surprise, a warmth just beginning to rise in her heart, when she heard him speak softly.
"Such humility is not how a normal relationship should be."
She was taken aback, but still let the man in front of her lead her to sit down on the sofa.
The next second, Li Yanzhou turned to look at her, his eyes unusually patient. He placed his hand on her shoulder, his tone soothing.
"Nina, I need to be alone. Can you give me some time?"
Nina stared at his action in disbelief.
He had never taken the initiative to approach or touch her before; this was the first time.
Her anxiety eased slightly.
In her view, this was a good sign.
In addition, his tone was unusually gentle, as warm as a spring breeze.
Nina felt herself being seduced and couldn't help but say, "Okay..."
"Then, how long will it take you? I won't bother you."
Nina quickly showed her sincerity and gave him the necessary space.
Li Yanzhou glanced out the window. "I don't know either, it won't be long."
"But during this time, I want to be alone. I don't need any servants or bodyguards."
"Okay, I promise you."
Despite her doubts, Nina knew that if she didn't agree, she would only push him further away, which would be counterproductive.
"Leon, I'll give you time to think things through. Call me whenever you need me, and I'll be there anytime..."
Nina is gone.
Li Yanzhou then left the villa.
He felt restless and confused, and didn't know where he should go.
Then, it started to rain.
He walked alone on the main street in the center of the city, watching the cars come and go.
Once again, he came to that street corner, the place where he first met her.
At that time, she was backlit, holding a large bouquet of roses, as if waiting for something.
Li Yanzhou gazed at the empty street corner, a sense of melancholy rising in his heart.
“Luo Tingwei…”
He murmured the name to himself.
At this moment, the rain gradually intensified.
He walked over, casually sat on a bench on the street, tilted his head back, and let the raindrops hit his face.
Unable to distinguish whether it was rain or tears, the man moved his lips and murmured.
"If only I could remember you..."
"This gives me a reason to leave."
Just then, a small red umbrella appeared and shielded his head.
In an instant, he felt the world go silent.
The rain had already blurred his vision. He glanced to the side and vaguely saw a beautiful and familiar face.
He was stunned.
It's her.
"Luo-Ting-Wei?"
He smiled slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and called out her name accurately.
"You've arrived."
"Yes, I'm here."
Luo Tingwei took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the raindrops from his face. She looked at him, her eyes filled with emotions he couldn't decipher.
The next second, she held her breath and said, slowly and deliberately, "Come with me?"
"I want to be with you tonight."
Li Yanzhou looked at her, simply following his instincts, and smiled gently, "Okay."
***
We arrived at her apartment.
"Want to take a shower?"
Luo Tingwei pointed to a small door over there, "The bathroom is over there. Go take a shower. You'll get sick if you get caught in the rain."
Li Yanzhou narrowed his eyes, thinking she was quite bold, and led him directly to her place.
Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?
Luo Tingwei chuckled softly, "We were husband and wife to begin with."
He just forgot.
Li Yanzhou paused for a moment, then walked towards the bathroom without saying anything more.
He came out wrapped in a bath towel, only to see Luo Tingwei sitting in front of the French windows in her pajamas, staring blankly out the window, lost in thought.
"I'm done washing."
He stood behind her and spoke up to remind her.
He instinctively kept his distance from her, without the slightest thought of overstepping his bounds.
Luo Tingwei turned her head when she heard the sound.
"Let's go to bed, I want to hold you."
"Miss Luo."
He thought for a moment and chose to call her that, "We'll do it like this..."
He paused for a moment, then decided to be more straightforward.
"I won't touch you until I remember."
Luo Tingwei gave a wry smile. "I understand. I just want to hold you tonight."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid that when I wake up tomorrow, I'll have forgotten you."
She quietly clenched the medicine hidden in her hand.
"Rather than this, let me struggle one more time. In my last moment of forgetting you, I also want to... hold you."
Li Yanzhou didn't understand what she was talking about.
However, he didn't mind holding her.
Just hold him and sleep with him for one night, and keep his moral bottom line.
"I just..."
Luo Tingwei hesitated for a moment, as if she still needed to explain.
"Alright, that's enough."
He noticed her embarrassment, interrupted her, and spoke concisely.
"Let's get into bed, I'll hug you."
So he turned off the light and went to bed first.
In the darkness, her shadow walked toward him, gradually sinking into the ground beside him.
His breathing quickened involuntarily upon smelling her scent.
"Now, can you hug me?"
Luo Tingwei lay down, gripped the blanket with both hands, held her breath, and spoke cautiously.
He didn't say anything, but responded with his actions, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly.
“Li Yanzhou…”
She silently repeated his name three times in her heart.
"If I wake up tomorrow and don't remember you, please don't let me go, okay?"
"Do everything you can to keep me here."
"Even if it's by force, it's fine. This time, I agreed to it."
Her tears flowed instantly.
A warm current flowed through his wrist.
The man was slightly taken aback; yes, it was her tears.
She cried?
Why is she crying?
He didn't know what to say, so he just silently hugged her tighter.
"Okay, I promise you."
After a long silence, he spoke.
She unscrewed the bottle of medicine and drank it all in the darkness.
