Li Yuan pulled Zhong Tingyue into his arms, a mischievous grin on his face. "Heh, Little Moon, do you really think you can get away?"
Zhong Tingyue giggled, retorting proudly, "That's not a given!"
"If you ever stop loving me, I'll leave!"
"Then I guess you won't get the chance," Li Yuan said, holding her small hand and gazing affectionately at her cheek. "Because I'll love you forever and never give you the chance to leave."
...
「At the bus station exit in Modu.」
Li Yuan held Zhong Tingyue's hand. Her palm was already slick with nervous sweat, her body was rigid, and she felt extremely anxious.
Li Yuan smiled, his gaze turning toward the exit.
Soon, the figure of his mother, Xia Qin, appeared before the platform exit.
He flashed a smile at Zhong Tingyue. "Little Moon, my mom's here. Let's go over."
"Ah, Auntie's here? Where?"
Zhong Tingyue's heart leaped, her pulse accelerating to a rate rivaled only by the nervousness she had felt during her first time with Li Yuan.
