Nanxi’s heart was beating rapidly as Lu Yinchu, holding an umbrella in one hand and embracing her petite body in his other arm, led her forward—
In the distance, a black Land Rover stood out conspicuously on the road—Nanxi was taken aback, did he drive the car in?!
They quickly reached the car. He opened the door and casually said to her, "Get in!"
Nanxi bit her lip, feeling somewhat unwilling and somewhat...afraid!
She suddenly regretted her actions, wondering if she had been too impulsive!
"Get in, Nanxi, be a good girl!"
His gentle voice came again, mingling with the light cool breeze of the night and touching Nanxi’s ears, sparking a heat that ticklishly stirred her heart!
"Lu Yinchu, I...I just wanted to talk to you! I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Nanxi suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder led by a strong hand gripping her waist...
There were sounds of an umbrella tangling with the wind and rain on the ground, the man’s heavy breathing, and the intertwining of heartbeats...
Nanxi froze, instinctively trying to push him away, but the man’s strong arms pulled her closer— he wouldn’t let her evade her own feelings anymore!
The misty rain continued to fall down on them, dotting their bodies, faces, and lips. Because of their height difference, Nanxi had no choice but to tilt her neck up to meet his kiss!
The hearts in their chest were pounding furiously, the passionate emotions spreading like a malignant tumor. It might have been Nanxi’s imagination, but she could taste a salty sweetness, yet she didn’t seem to be crying...
Was the one crying...Lu Yinchu?!
Unexplainably, her heart ached. She reached up to hold his neck, bravely responding to him on her tiptoes. The man’s body stiffened, before quickly turning her around and pressing her against the car...
"Lu Yinchu, no... we can’t..."
Nanxi’s voice rang out from between her lips, resisting. The hand clutching the man’s shoulder tightened gradually. She could feel him stiffen momentarily. Then, he lifted his head, his calm and deep eyes looking at her face...
"Lu Yinchu, we can’t right now!"
"Lu Yinchu, would you...wait for me?"
She tiptoed and planted a gentle kiss on his lips as if to soothe him.
"...Yes, wait for me!"
The ensuing silence nearly covered Nanxi’s heart in shades of grey. She wondered if she had been too selfish or made a wrong decision...
Just as her eyes dimmed, the man extended his arm, drawing her close to him. His low voice echoed in her ear: "Okay, I’ll wait for you..."
Wait for you to settle your things, wait for you to love me freely and unreservedly, to be with me!
Nanxi closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled, marked either by the traces of rain or perhaps tears.
The man sighed softly, turning his head to plant a deep kiss on the side of her face, which slowly trailed down to her lips...
He said, "Nanxi, you should know, I love you very much..."
In the surprising moment for Nanxi, the man responded with a deep, intimate kiss, reflecting his well-seasoned love...
That night was like a dream!
In her twenty-two years of life, Nanxi had always been a good girl, but that night, she had done something that shocked her!
When she returned to her dormitory an hour and a half later, even though the dormitory administrator saw Nanxi’s wet clothes, swollen lips, and the men’s suit on her shoulder, she didn’t dare to utter a word!
The reason was simple, Lu Yinchu had made a phone call before Nanxi entered the dormitory!
Nanxi could guess whom he had called...
He embraced her, kissed her forehead, and wished her goodnight. His voice tinkered with her, causing her heartbeat to falter!
She felt ashamed as, during her six years with Li Weihuan, she had been shy many times, but never excited !
She knew she had betrayed Li Weihuan. No matter how many excuses she made for her betrayal, she felt they couldn’t justify it!
They truly couldn’t, they were too few. She owed Li Weihuan an apology; she betrayed the six years they had spent together!
