  His dear Yaoyao was crying. He truly wanted to walk over to her, but he felt as though his legs were anchored to the ground. They felt so heavy, and he couldn’t move them.

  Xirong Ziye had never seen Bai Yaoyao bawling like that before. In fact, she merely refused to see him whenever she was in a bad mood. She had never acted this way before.

  As he walked, Xirong Ziye’s heart ached, yet he was at a loss of what to do. He felt bad for Yaoyao, but he didn’t know why she was crying.

  Seeing her like this, crying all alone, it felt like a knife was cutting at his heart.

  He had pictured many different scenarios of their reunion, but he had never expected it to be this way. He didn’t know how to approach and console her, afraid that he would disturb her.

  As Xirong Ziye stood rooted to the ground, he could feel his breathing getting increasingly difficult. He almost couldn’t catch his breath.

  He wanted to be careful, to go forward and embrace her, but he couldn’t get his feet to move at all. He merely stood still and watched.

  His heart throbbed, and it was so painful that his eyes began to water.

  He had longed to see Bai Yaoyao, but after meeting her, her emotions were completely affecting him.

  She was crying, yet he couldn’t cry together with her. He could only allow his heart to ache terribly.

  He didn’t know why she was crying. He recalled that she didn’t use to cry when she was sad. What had happened?

  He didn’t dare to ask nor fathom the reason. Just thinking that she could have been crying because of another man, Xirong Ziye couldn’t take it anymore.

  His body stiffened as he continued watching her. His gaze was focused on her, concentrating solely on her.

  Xirong Ziye’s breaths were gentle, so Bai Yaoyao couldn’t sense his presence at all.

  Bai Yaoyao sprawled over her legs and cried, not knowing that someone was around her. She had no clue that Xirong Ziye was just standing nearby.

  After crying for some time, Bai Yaoyao finally released all the misery she had suppressed in her heart. She felt lighter now. Raising her head, she wiped her tears away and tidied herself up.

  Ensuring that she looked fine, she stood up. Nevertheless, she knew that her eyes must be red and swollen now.

  Xirong Ziye finally saw Bai Yaoyao’s face now. She had become even more beautiful. However, her eyes were so red from crying, and it hurt him so badly.

  Bai Yaoyao walked forward and suddenly noticed a person standing in front of her. When she recognized that it was Xirong Ziye, she stopped in her tracks immediately.

  Her heart shuddered. She was in utter disbelief with what she was seeing in front of her now. Blinking, she confirmed that her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her.

  She completely didn’t know how to react. She hadn’t expected to see him in another country. What was he doing here?

  At that point in time, Bai Yaoyao didn’t know if she should move or if she needed to say something. Her heart shivered, and her mind was blank. She looked rather dazed.

  It would be a lie if she were to say that she wasn’t touched. After all, she had loved him for many years. However, those intense feelings had already faded over the years.

  The two of them stood a few feet apart and gazed at each other from a distance. Nobody spoke as their eyes met.

  Xirong Ziye looked at how calm Bai Yaoyao appeared. He could sense that she may no longer have any feelings for him.

  However, his heart was still excited. He still felt delighted to see her, even though his joy was laced with a hint of insecurity and anxiety.

  Finally, Xirong Ziye took a few steps forward. Stopping in front of Bai Yaoyao, he poured his feelings out, saying, “Yaoyao, I’ve finally found you.”


  He wanted to say so many things to her, but he couldn’t get a word out of his mouth now. This was the only thing he could say.
