Chapter 1492 - Great to Have You (52) (2/2)

A woman exited from the room and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

“Zhong Minhe. I’m a friend of his.”

The woman scanned her from head to toe and yelled into the room, “Brother Zhong, your friend is waiting for you outside the room.”

“Alright,” answered an alluring voice that was completely different from what Long Xiaoxi had remembered and imagined.

After all, one had to have a pleasant voice in order to become a voice actor.

She began to feel nervous all of a sudden and wondered if he could recognize her after not seeing her for so many years.

Long Xiaoxi stood rooted to the ground, and so did the woman, who kept staring at her instead of leaving.

“Why haven’t I seen you around before?”

“I’ve been abroad. I only came home today.”

“Abroad?” A sullen expression formed on the woman’s face.

Noticing her reaction, Long Xiaoxi asked in puzzlement, “Is there a problem?”

“No. Brother Zhong said that the girl he fancies is abroad. Surely he can’t be referring to you?”

Greatly taken aback, Long Xiaoxi answered, “I don’t think so.”

As soon as the woman was about to say something, the door opened and Zhong Minhe exited.

Long Xiaoxi stared at him in astonishment. She wouldn’t have recognized him if she didn’t notice that he had a missing arm.

He looked completely different from her expectations.

Although only her eyes were revealed, Zhong Minhe could still recognize her. “Xiao… Xiaoxi?”

She pulled her scarf down to reveal the rest of her face. “Yes, Brother Minhe, I’m back.”

Zhong Minhe teared up while staring at her. She had undoubtedly changed a lot.

Her chubby cheeks and figure were gone.

They did not remain speechless for long. Long Xiaoxi wrapped her arms around him tightly. “I’m sorry for not contacting you for so many years.”

“Good that you’re back. I’ve been waiting for your return.”

Upon exiting the studio, she grabbed his sleeve, just like she used to when she was younger. “That girl just now said that you fancy someone who’s overseas. Who is it?”

“You. Why? Are you doubting me?”

Long Xiaoxi chuckled and said, “You must be kidding me. How can it be me?”

“Why should I do that? I’m being serious. Xiaoxi, I’ve been carrying a torch for you ever since we were children. I like how straightforward you are and how bubbly you are. I also like that you enjoyed playing with me all the time. I used to have an inferiority complex and never dared to express my feelings. However, I’ve become much more confident, and I must let you know how I feel about you now that you’re finally back.”

It had never crossed Long Xiaoxi’s mind that she would receive a confession on the first day that she returned from abroad.

Caught by surprise, she smiled and said, “Brother Minhe, I’m very glad that you’ve become much more confident. You’ve become the ideal person that I had hoped for you to become.”

“You’re changing the subject.”

Long Xiaoxi grimaced and said, “What would you like to hear from me, then?”

Although they had not met in years, they did not feel distant or awkward at all.

“I’d like to hear you say that you’ll give me a chance.”

“I’ll give you a chance,” she answered without hesitation.
