"Be careful, this car is expensive!" a man reminded his little girlfriend who was touching the car.
"I’m just touching it, it won’t cost me a piece of meat. Besides, it’s just a car. How expensive can it be?" The little girlfriend pouted.
"You guessed it right, this car is indeed sky-high expensive. For poor folks like us, we probably can’t even afford one of its wheels!"
"So expensive?" The little girlfriend retracted her hand, "Forget it, I better stay away from the car, in case I scratch it and end up putting myself in a mess."
"Even if you put yourself in it, you wouldn’t be as valuable as this car."
"So, in your heart, I’m not as important as a car?"
"Of course not. In my heart, no matter how valuable this car is, it can’t compare to you." The man hugged his little girlfriend, dotingly kissed her forehead.
"That’s more like it."
The young couple walked away, but Lin Yixun did not take her gaze back for a long time.
A long time ago, she also yearned for such a day, walking down the road with the one she loved, eating delicious food together, bickering, living a life that was bittersweet yet happy.
For this dream, she gave up everything, let go of all her pride and dignity, but in the end, she lost everything, shattered to pieces, and even implicated her family.
Love, this thing was never something she should have gotten involved with.
Lin Yixun withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and with heavy steps, one by one, walked into the community.
Because some residents couldn’t afford the property management fees, the lights in the corridors were left long unrepaired. Tonight, even the last light went out. Lin Yixun had to turn on her phone and groped her way upstairs with the phone’s light.
For some reason, as she walked, she felt as if there was a gaze glued to her. This feeling grew stronger with the sound of her footsteps.
Lin Yixun’s heart started to beat faster. There was only an elderly security guard in this community, and the security had always been poor here. She thought she was probably being targeted.
Without making a sound, she reached her hand into her handbag, feeling somewhat relieved that she had prepared pepper spray in her bag. She thought it might be better to strike first rather than always being on the defensive.
However, the other person seemed to have seen through her trick. In an instant when she turned around, he quickly restrained her.
Lin Yixun only felt a sudden numbness in her wrist, her fingers involuntarily let go, and the pepper spray dropped to the ground. In the next moment, she was pushed heavily into the corner of the wall.
Her body was surrounded by the man’s breath, both unfamiliar and familiar. Even in the darkness, Lin Yixun could recognize who the man in front of her was.
Lin Yixun never expected Leng Yixiu to appear in such a place!
In the dark, they were very close, their breaths tangled. Lin Yixun held her breath, wanting to turn her face away, but the man grabbed her chin, forcing her to lift her head.
"Is this how you react when you see me?" Above her, the man’s cold voice sounded.
"So Mr. Leng, how do you want me to react?" Lin Yixun sneered, "Please tell me exactly how Mr. Leng wants me to react, and I’ll make sure to do it in a way that satisfies you."
"You flatter me, Mr. Leng." Taking advantage of his distraction, Lin Yixun abruptly lifted her knee, but the man dodged it deftly.
Soon, Lin Yixun was restrained again.
"Lin Yixun, I advise you to put away those petty thoughts."
