She waited for five years, yet he knew nothing about it?!
Looking into Luo Xiaoqian’s clear eyes, listening to her recount things he didn’t know, Leng Zimo felt a dull ache in his chest. He raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, his bandaged hand tightly holding her back.
"Xiao Qian, I’m sorry."
"Big Fool." Luo Xiaoqian chuckled lightly in his embrace, "Actually, haven’t you been searching for me all along?"
Leng Zimo sighed with her long hair against him, "Yes, for these five years, I’ve been searching. It’s quite ridiculous when you think about it. I didn’t even know what I was searching for, always feeling like I lost something important. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t remember what it was. I even wondered if there was something wrong with my brain."
Whenever I saw familiar scenes, I would always feel a sense of déjà vu.
Every time I went on a business trip, when I switched on my phone after landing, I would always check the message inbox, but then wouldn’t know whom to text.
Sometimes, waking up in the middle of the night, I would instinctively reach my hand to the side, seemingly wanting to touch someone, only to feel half of the empty pillow.
...
Such things happened so often that even I found them odd.
Only now, remembering everything, do I realize that during the time spent with her, these habits became ingrained.
Every time I returned from a business trip, the first thing after landing was to let her know I was safe.
She didn’t sleep well, and I was always afraid she’d catch a cold. As a light sleeper, I habitually checked whether she was covered with a blanket.
Leng Zimo sighed helplessly, "Looks like I have no choice but to play the role of a scumbag!"
"I just need to act true to myself." Luo Xiaoqian made a funny face at him, "Now’s the time to test your acting skills."
Leng Zimo frowned as he looked at her, feeling a surge of irritability at the thought of what he had to do next.
Clearly caring so much for someone, yet having to act as though they’re hated to the core, even attacking her in every possible way, the thought of it alone pained him.
"Zimo, I know what you’re thinking, but for the sake of our future, this time, you must give it your all!" Luo Xiaoqian raised her hand to cup his face, "Remember, no matter what you do, I, Luo Xiaoqian, will always know that you, Leng Zimo, are my man, and the one who loves and cares for me the most in this world. Just think, as long as we get through this hurdle, as long as we bring those two bastards to justice, we can be happy together, so go for it!"
Leng Zimo gently stroked her face with his fingers, his expression troubled, "Can you not act so hard? Watching you, I... honestly find it difficult to continue."
