Cen Ye said, "Sit down and talk," as he pulled her hand.
As soon as Xu Xunsheng sat down, she heard him lean in and whisper in her ear, "One hug for Huizi, that's it, no more exceptions."
Xu Xunsheng gave him a sideways glance.
But he pinched her hand under the table and murmured, "I'm serious. Not even brothers can hug you, only I can. I can't bear to share."
A smile played on the corners of Xu Xunsheng's lips. She looked up at Huizi and ignored him.
Meanwhile, Huizi sat across from them, smiling goofily, watching the two of them exchanging glances just like old times, feeling a mix of wanting to cry and wanting to laugh.
How nice.
Really... I'm so happy for them.
It seems as though, whenever I see these two together, all the efforts from the Chaomu days, all the bold strides forward, were not in vain. The world bustles with thousands living their humdrum lives, myself included, but some things, some people, never change, right?
