Chapter 44：Before They Met (2/2)

”It was a last-minute decision,” she stated, ”but I'm glad you're here,” she admitted. Song Ren held her hands together and averted his gaze. A hint of a blush reddened her cheeks.

Su Feng's lips parted open at her reaction, and then his lips curled into a satisfied smile. Disregarding their public space, Su Feng pulled her into a tight embrace. Song Ren was slightly shocked, ”What are you doing!?” she asked.

Su Feng began to stroke her head gently. He then bent down and whispered near her ear, ”I watched you,” he began to say, ”and I'm so proud.”

Song Ren froze in his embrace. The icebergs surrounding her heart began to melt. Only did Su Feng have that effect on her. She felt warm throughout, and she decided to embrace him back.

Song Ren glanced up at him. His ice-blue eyes were blazing like glaciers. ”Perhaps someday soon,” she spoke gently.

Su Feng smiled, revealing his perfect grin. Song Ren was slightly dazed. Did he come to watch and support her? She felt like kissing him despite their public space. She then remembered she was going to a different city with him soon; perhaps then she'll reward him.

”I'm going to pack a bag soon,” she proclaimed.

”All right, I'll see you this weekend?” he said before approaching her.

”Why don't we leave tomorrow?” she asked.

Su Feng paused, ”Are you sure? It's early.”

”Mhm, I'm sure I've been wrapping up my work.” Su Feng swiftly tucked her in, leaving a gentle, lingering kiss on her forehead before they parted ways. ”All right,” he said with a smile.

The two of them smiled at each other, not knowing that someone held a camera from behind the trees outside, snapping photos of the two of them.
