”But I'm only eighteen years old. How old are you?” When he was in high spirits, Xu Muyun went on to talk about their age.
”…” Han Rui was speechless. If she could say something so amorous, then it would be a mistake. How was he going to talk to her in the future and waste his feelings?
”It was originally so. Look at your face, it's so wrinkled.” Xu Muyun reached out his hand and turned the rearview mirror towards Han Rui, letting him see his face.
Han Rui glanced at her with a dark expression. He was already dissatisfied with her reaction to playing the lute. Now, she still didn't know what kind of man was willing to listen to his wife saying that he was old!
He turned the rearview mirror back and said in the tone of an educating daughter, ”Sit tight and don't hold me up in my car.”
”What? You change your attitude faster than flipping a book, ignore me.” Xu Muyun turned her head towards the window, looking at the bustling city scenery.
She turned her head and wiped the smile off her face. The scenery on the street was completely unfamiliar to her. The scenery that rapidly shuttled back and forth was like the time when Yang Ziye was in her life. Ten years later, his betrayal had left a deep scar on her heart. Even if it was only the mark of youth, she had, after all, poured all of her feelings into him in those years. She was sad, but stubbornly refused to let her tears fall.
As she thought about it, Xu Muyun thought of a problem. The man beside her said that he had hurt her before, but why couldn't she hate him at all?
It wasn't until they got home that Han Rui got out of the car and held her hand while holding the door open for her. It was only when she was surrounded by warmth that she understood that she didn't hate him because he didn't abandon her in the end. Even after she fell asleep for so long, he still didn't leave.
In his palm, Xu Muyun intentionally squeezed his hand, then smiled mischievously at him: ”I want you to honor your promise.”
”What?” Han Rui couldn't react in time.
”Help me block the wind and rain.” Xu Muyun turned and looked into his eyes.
”Alright.” Han Rui suppressed his excitement and answered seriously.
Xu Muyun nodded with a smile. She hoped that her promise this time was to wait for her entire life. Han Rui, don't let me down again.
The two of them held hands as they walked into the house. The lively atmosphere in the room also matched their mood. Xu Muyun had received a lifetime's worth of promise, and Han Rui had gained a precious trust. This time, holding hands was extremely precious.
