C120 I Miss You

After being caught and ambushed, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhuang Shili's handsome face. He released her somewhat unnaturally, doing his best to suppress his disordered breathing.

"You're awake?"

However, Autumn Leaf wasn't in the mood to pay close attention to his expression. Thinking back to her crazy actions last night, she had long since blushed and said in a low voice to him,

"En!"

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly stood up. "I didn't hurt your wound last night, did I?"

She lifted the quilt to look at his wound.

After hastily lifting up the quilt, her small hand froze in place, her face immediately turning as red as a ripe tomato.

Because under the blanket, he was naked...

She wailed and quickly pulled the blanket back into his embrace. She remembered that he had warned her that the men in the morning were unable to resist temptation, and she wished even more that there was a bottle of Invisibility Potion placed in front of her, so that she could drink it and disappear immediately.

A deep, melodious laugh came from overhead. At first it was only a soft laugh, but then it grew louder and louder until it became a loud laugh that came from his chest.

She poked his hard chest from under the quilt and cried out in shame and indignation.

"Hey, Zhuang Shili!"

Only then did he stop laughing, and with a turn that caught her by surprise, he fiercely pressed her down into the soft bed. His slender fingers held her little face, lovingly saying, "My Autumn Leaf, why are you blushing?"

My autumn leaves?

Autumn Leaf was clearly startled. Instantly, a hint of sweetness slowly spread out from her heart, one circle after another, slowly spreading to her limbs and bones, slowly spreading to her internal organs.

He called her, my autumn leaf?

Was it her imagination? Why did she feel that this form of address contained a deep doting and tyrannical possession, as if she was a treasure protected by him in the palm of his hand?

Zhuang Shili was obviously stunned as well. He had just blurted it out, and unknowingly, he had already put her in his heart. After calming himself down, he extended his hand and gently caressed her delicate face.

"Call me when you get home!"

Autumn Leaf glanced at him in astonishment, then lowered her eyes and softly replied.

"Mm …"

Was he … concerned about her?

"Rest well after you return!"

He reminded her again that she was exhausted after taking care of him alone for over a month.

"Mm …"

She was still as shallow as before, but her heart was surging like a tidal wave.

She had never thought that one day he would care for her so gently and take care of her so carefully. She was so immersed in the gentleness of his moment that she refused to wake up.

In truth, her heart was extremely conflicted. Sometimes, she would rather have him be cold to the end and let her have no reason to sink into depravity. However, sometimes, she would also yearn for his gentle care and care.

Staring at the little woman who only knew how to say "yeah", he lifted her little face in displeasure.

"Is there nothing you want to tell me?"

"I'll give you a call …"

Autumn Leaf originally wanted to say no, but seeing his gloomy face, she could only change her mind.

Zhuang Shili's mouth twitched as his expression turned more and more unsightly.

"What else?"

He had warned her for most of the day, but she hadn't said a single word?

She blinked her bright eyes as she looked at him. After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly opened her mouth and said,

"I'll miss you!"

With a blush on her face, she quickly kissed him on the cheek, and, taking advantage of his drowsiness, hurriedly slipped on her nightgown and fled his room.

Behind her, Zhuang Shili was in a great mood as he stared at her fleeing figure. A satisfied smile gradually appeared on his previously gloomy face.

After breakfast, Autumn Leaf left the mountain villa under Long Yi's lead and headed back to Jia Country.

On the plane, she looked at the diminishing country, closed her eyes, and told herself that no matter what the outcome would be in four years, she would protect him well in those four years.

However, being naive like her, she thought that she could support the future with her bare hands.

When she finally understood that some pain was something she could not endure no matter how strong she was, and some happiness was something she could not reach no matter how hard she tried, she would completely give up.

As soon as the plane landed, she hurriedly opened her cell phone and sent him a text message.

"Zhuang …" I'm here! "

He still only said a single word:

"En!"

She pursed her lips in annoyance and sent another message,

"I miss you!"

"En!"

His reply was as succinct as ever, even haughty, as if it was a matter of course.

She seriously doubted if he would ever type that word, even though she said she would miss him at the end. Did he miss her?

Couldn't he just say something sweet to make her happy?

She angrily closed her cell phone and took a taxi home. Damn man, she would never send him a text message again, much less call him. If he wanted to find her, she would take the initiative to call him.

After returning home, the first thing Autumn Leaf did was to call Xiao Yu Chen and ask her to come out. In the cool coffee shop, she said apologetically to him.

Every girl had a Prince Charming in their heart. He had a warm smile and a considerate personality. It was clear that Xiao Yu Chen was such a person. He was perfect to the point where he fit every girl's dreams.

However, she chose her Dark King. He was tyrannical, domineering, indifferent, and even a little ruthless. Yet, she just had to put her heart into him.

Some people couldn't say what was good, but they couldn't replace anyone.

Some people, it is not because of how good he is, but when he appeared, he hit his own heart.

Xiao Yu Chen could only bitterly smile.

"Lin Qiuye, what can I say to you now?"

He turned his head dejectedly towards the window.

"I thought that when I appeared, you and him were just about to separate. I thought you no longer expected anything from him, no longer allowed him to hurt you …"

Autumn Leaf was so distressed that she didn't know what to say. She should have thanked him. If she hadn't been accompanied by him, she wouldn't have known how to spend those torturous days.

After a long period of silence, Xiao Yu Chen stood up in disappointment and looked at her with heartache.

"You don't need to apologize to me, nor do you need to feel any guilt towards me. If there comes a day when you need comfort, I will still be by your side!"

After saying that, he left without looking back. Autumn Leaf was left alone, sitting there in a daze. She didn't want to hurt anyone like this, but why, did they always miss the right person?

After that, school would start in a few days, and a sophomore would be an extremely busy year for her.

Because in December of this year, she had to prepare for the Void Language Proficiency Level 1 exam, the internationally recognized highest level exam. Thus, from the very first day of school, she began to busy herself in a daze.

As for her and Xiao Yu Chen, this pair of golden couple that had envied countless men and women last semester, even the teachers gave them their blessings. However, after a summer vacation, they suddenly parted ways.

Faced with the doubts of the outside world, Xiao Yu Chen indifferently said that she did not have the same personality as her. As for her, she remained silent the entire time.

When they met again on campus, she was rushing to the library while he was holding the hand of a gentle and demure girl. They met face to face, and he awkwardly let go of the girl's hand.

She merely smiled and nodded her head slightly as a greeting, then lowered her head and walked past him. Watching him start a new relationship, she felt a little better.

Looking up at the blue sky, she suddenly thought of that person. Her heart was sweet, but it was astringent at the same time. Except for the short message she sent to him the day she returned, she had never sent to him or called him.

But this heartless man really didn't have a single phone!

Just as she was thinking angrily, her cell phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and was shocked when she saw it. It really was Cao Cao who arrived just like that. It was actually his phone number!

In fact, after being together for so long, the number of calls between the two of them was very few. As she held the phone, her heart was beating rapidly. However, she still tried her best to calm down, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for her.

Despite the incessant clamor of the bell, she strolled leisurely and sat down on a bench under the shade of a tree. Then, she pressed the button to receive the call and spoke in an extremely calm manner.

"Hello?"

"Woman, you're getting bolder and bolder!"

His voice came through the receiver.

"What's the matter?"

she asked innocently, leaning back in her chair and looking up at the clear blue sky as if it had been washed. Even though she knew he was referring to her not giving him a call, she was still pretending.

"You don't know?"

His tone was laced with displeasure.

After a long while, he suddenly chuckled a few times. His voice was full of ambiguity and evilness.

"I will let you know!"

He hung up.

"Hey, hey …"

Autumn Leaf stared disbelievingly at the phone that was hung up, unable to utter a single word. What a rude fellow!

In the somewhat hot weather, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body. No matter what, she felt that his laughter just now was filled with a sense of conspiracy and punishment.

A person was mumbling into his cell phone,

"Well, I miss you!"

She wanted to tell him this, but he couldn't hear her.
