If the teacher found out, they would definitely be caught next time they skipped class. “Okay, go back to the classroom. Class time is coming soon,” Xia Qianzhi smiled, completely unaware of the “demon uncle” the children were talking about. “Ah—” Ming Ming suddenly shouted: “It’s him!” Xia Qianzhi followed Ming Ming’s gaze. The noisy playground fell silent. She stood up, supporting her swollen waist. Xing Tuo stared blankly at her prominently swollen belly.
Xing Tuo and Xia Qianzhi stood on the beach, neither speaking. Xing Tuo had not yet recovered from the shock of her pregnancy. “Why didn’t you tell me?” “There was no need.” Glaring at her calm face, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists by his sides. “Why are you leaving?” “Because I want to.” Qianzhi spoke softly, her eyes never leaving the sea. “You…” Xing Tuo looked up at the deep gray sky, taking a deep breath but unable to control the rising anger: “Is this your answer? You’re leaving without a word.”
Did you ever think about my feelings? Did you think I would worry, would be afraid?”
“I’m sorry, Xing Tuo.” She bit her lip, lowering her eyelids, her gaze fixed on the sea. Tears glistened in her eyes. She believed time would smooth over everything. Yes, time. She had to believe this. In this world, the only thing she didn’t believe in was herself.
Suddenly, her shoulder tightened! She came to her senses, and he had already tightly gripped her shoulder, lowering his head to kiss her soft lips. Just as she was about to push him away, a sharp pain spread across her lips – he had actually bitten her lip. A hatred as swift as a shooting star flashed in his deep phoenix eyes, instantly transforming into a deeper love. He gently kissed her, softly soothing the wound on her lips with his tongue tip. Her heart ached deeply, as if cut by shattered glass fragments. She closed her eyes, trying hard not to let her tears fall.
He left her lips, gazing at her deeply, almost pleading: “Come back with me.”
“No.” She softly exhaled a single word, lowering her eyelids without looking at him.
The hand gripping her shoulder tightened, causing her pain.
“Why?”
