At the moment when he saw the incoming call reminder, Xie Jinyan was just thinking: Being able to hear Chen Zhi's voice on a day like this, this day doesn't seem to be too bad.
While his brain was still weighing the options, his body had already reacted.
The second the call was connected, neither of them spoke.
Just when Xie Jinyan was about to speak, there was suddenly some movement on the beach, which was originally empty except for him and only had the sounds of wind and waves.
The sound of footsteps on the sand brought some life to this cold and lonely evening.
It's so late, why would anyone come here?
It was probably the manager of this area who urged him to leave.
But Xie Jinyan tilted his head and was stunned.
The moon, which was originally covered by layers of dark clouds, suddenly appeared and hung high in the dark night sky.
The bright moonlight gently covers the earth.
He looked at the slender figure not far away. The whole body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of warm halo, and seemed to be glowing in the watery night.
The moonlight fell on that overly delicate face.
Too beautiful to be real.
"I'm looking for you, Xie Jinyan."
The sound coming from the receiver merged with reality.
The whistling wind and the sound of waves crashing against the shore seemed to have been paused.
The blood in the body seemed to resume flowing in an instant, flowing through the stiff limbs and bones.
Xie Jinyan's slender fingers gripped the phone with great force.
His eyes were fixed on the gradually approaching figure, fearing that if he blinked, he would find that the figure in front of him was just an illusion that would shatter at the slightest touch.
Chen Zhi came here only because she remembered that in an interview with Xie Jinyan in the original text, he mentioned that he liked the sea.
This area is so large that Chen Zhi searched all the way here, but didn't see any human figures, let alone ghosts.
We almost had to turn back.
However, she didn't expect that, as if it was destined, when the call was connected, the person she had been looking for finally appeared before her.
The closer he got, the more Chen Zhi's brows furrowed.
The weather has been cold recently, with the temperature dropping below zero at night.
Not to mention the strong wind at the beach. Even though Chen Zhi was wrapped in a down jacket, she still felt pain on her face and ears.
In such weather, Xie Jinyan was only wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, and his face was mostly covered by the hood, making it difficult to see his facial expression in the dark.
Chen Zhi couldn't tell whether she was heartbroken or angry at this moment.
I tried to hold it in, but I couldn't.
He started to scold me right away.
The person who was some distance away from him just now was now standing in front of him. The voice coming to his ears was so real that he could even recognize the aura of Chen Zhi.
My eyes feel a little sore.
Xie Jinyan couldn't help but blink.
The person in front of him frowned and seemed to be saying something, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
There is only one gradually clear perception in my mind——
This was not his hallucination.
Chen Zhi couldn't control himself. After he finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses and quickly stepped on the brakes.
Being stared at by Xie Jinyan's deep eyes, she swallowed unconsciously, pursed her lips and began to choose her words, "Ahem, that..."
But he didn't finish his words.
A sudden force came from the forearm.
Chen Zhi was stunned.
The next second, he crashed into a cold embrace.
The man looked like he had been soaked in ice water. Even though Chen Zhi was wearing a down jacket, he still shivered from the cold.
Xie Jinyan buried his face in her shoulder, and when he spoke, the breath he exhaled seemed to be wrapped in coldness.
"Why are you here?"
The man's voice was hoarse, like an unlubricated part, and a little dry.
Chen Zhi didn't expect Xie Jinyan to suddenly hug her.
My mind went blank for a moment.
It was not until she heard a man's voice that she came back to her senses and stammered, "...Brother Qi called me and said you were missing..."
The words fell.
Chen Zhi felt that Xie Jinyan seemed to hold her even tighter, and his breath kept going into her collar.
"Then why did you come here?"
I was just looking for someone and didn't think too much about it.
When asked this by Xie Jinyan, Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment.
After a long while, he managed to utter: "...If I say I guessed, would you believe it?"
After saying this, Shen Zhi wanted to bite off his tongue.
Just when I was feeling nervous, I heard a man's very light laugh.
"As long as you say it, I believe it."
Chen Zhi was startled.
“Boom—boom—boom”
Without any warning, my heart started beating violently again.
Chen Zhi could clearly hear his own heartbeat which was getting heavier and heavier.
Apart from the kiss they had shared during a commercial, this was their first hug.
If the situation just now was special and Shen Zhi did not react in time, then at this moment, feeling the man's body temperature through his clothes, Shen Zhi suddenly felt a little at a loss.
She moved subconsciously and was about to speak.
"Don't move."
The warm breath sprayed all over her neck.
Brings a fine and tingling feeling.
The man hugged her even tighter than before, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Chen Zhi froze for a moment.
Xie Jinyan buried his head deeper and said in a hoarse voice: "Let me hold you for a while longer."
In that unquestionable and domineering tone, there seemed to be a hint of subtle fragility.
The image of the man sitting alone on the beach flashed through Chen Zhi's mind again. The black figure was motionless, and it seemed that he would completely merge with the surrounding darkness in the next second.
The loneliness that emanated from deep within his bones made Chen Zhi feel a lump in his throat for no apparent reason.
She pursed her lips.
After a brief hesitation, he finally raised his hand.
Hugging him back.
