Hearing Xue Yang's words, Lin Xi finally managed a smile. But with tears still on her face, that smile was all the more heart-wrenching. Xue Yang leaned in again, tenderly kissing the tears from her cheeks.
She gently nodded, uttered a soft "Mhm," and then, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water's surface, she planted a kiss on the corner of his lips. Only then did she let go of Xue Yang, open the car door, and step out. After getting out, she turned back to wave at him once more before jogging toward the villa. Like an elf, she skipped away, disappearing from Xue Yang's sight.
Only after Lin Xi's figure had vanished into the villa did Xue Yang get out. He moved to the front of the car and leaned against it, his thoughts drifting to places unknown.
