'Who is it? Who said that?' It was so sweet but so sad that she wanted to shed tears.
"I'll protect you forever. I won't let you suffer the slightest injustice and let anyone hurt you anymore."
'That's... Jin's voice... It's what Jin once said to me.'
Ling Yiran squatted on the ground and felt that all she could hear were the words Yi Jinli had once said to her.
'Don't think about these words. Don't think about them…' she kept telling herself in her head.
Then... It seemed that there was the sound of footsteps. The pattering of footsteps sounded so clear.
'Whose footsteps are these?'
A pair of black leather shoes caught her eye.
She slowly raised her head and caught sight of the familiar face.
'It's Jin's face... Just like the one I saw in Drunken Days.
'Is it because I'm drunk? Is that why I’m hearing voices and also hallucinating?'
Ling Yiran staggered to her feet, half-crying and half-laughing at the figure in front of her as she said, "Don't… show your face to me again."
She felt even worse when he showed up. He made her calm mind fluctuate again.
Yi Jinli stared at the person in front of him.
'Is she drunk?' There was no clarity in her almond-shaped eyes and her cheeks were red. She stood swaying as if she would fall to the ground the next moment.
He stepped forward and put his hand around her waist to keep her from falling.
Yi Jinli's body stiffened immediately, but he did not push Ling Yiran away. He just lowered his head and stared at her.
Gao Congming, who had been following Yi Jinli, was frightened.
'What is… Young Master Yi going to do? He has been following Miss Ling out of Drunken Days, and now... he’s just standing there with her around his neck.'
Since it was Young Master Yi who broke up with Miss Ling at the beginning, Gao Congming knew that with Young Master Yi's character, there was no room for change.
However, the scene now... made him a little unsure.
Ling Yiran smiled. Her drunken smile in the night was so beautiful that Yi Jinli could not turn his eyes away.
Then, she gently laid her hand playfully upon his cheek, over his forehead, nose, cheek, lips, and finally, on his eyelashes.
"Jin, tell me... Why are your eyelashes... so beautiful... They're so beautiful that I'm… I'm jealous..." she said aimlessly.
