Perhaps it was due to the change in position, but the light from the bar shone onto the man's face, allowing Gu Tong to clearly see his cold face.

The man's eyebrows were slightly raised, the refraction of his starry eyes was almost comparable to the brightness of the lamp. His nose was tall, and his red lips were slightly pursed. His wheat colored skin showed off his masculine side.

However, when Gu Tong saw his face, her pupils dilated.

This was because the man in front of her was a person she was very unfamiliar with yet very familiar with. He seemed to overlap with the one in her memory that was filled with youth and age.

"Do you think I would help you?"

Gu Tong was stunned for a moment. It was unknown when the man had already gotten close to her. The man's head was slightly lowered, and when he said those words, the warm breath from his mouth just happened to hit her neck.

Because of the man's actions, her face and even her ears quickly turned red, and her heart quickly became messy.

"You are, Siyi Chen?"

The three words that were buried in her memory popped out just like that. When she asked this question, she almost didn't dare to meet the man's gaze.

Upon hearing this, the corner of Si Yi Chen's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was quite happy. "I thought that all these years, you've long since forgotten about me."

Hearing this, Gu Tong had a strange feeling in her heart. Just as she wanted to say something, she suppressed it with all her might and said, "Why did you come back?"

Not... Not coming back?

Gu Tong secretly asked the following question in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything.

"That woman ran over to the front. You guys follow me over to take a look. The rest of you, go outside to look for her!"

Seeing the woman's hesitant appearance, Si Yi Chen wanted to say something, but then heard a voice from behind him.

Then, almost subconsciously, he reached out and grabbed her by the waist and pulled her away. In the next second, he had her at the corner with the most hidden secrets.

When Fan Mingyu led his people over, Siyi Chen bent down and approached Gu Tong limitlessly. When he was less than three centimeters away from her lips, he suddenly stopped.

Facing his approach, Gu Tong's breath caught in her throat, and her palms unconsciously began to sweat.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

With one hand, he pinched Gu Tong's chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. "I helped you, how are you going to repay me?" "Gu Tong."

When he said her name, his voice was very soft, as if he had said her name countless times.

Gu Tong struggled free from his restraints, curled her lips in disdain, and said, "No matter what, I've helped you before. Let's call it even!"

"All these years, why didn't you contact me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man's deep voice sounded, brimming with complicated emotions.

It had been eight years, the first time they'd seen each other in eight years, the first time she'd ever spoken to him.

Even though she didn't recognize him.

"Didn't you go abroad? "Furthermore, I must have my own matters to attend to, so …"

"I was so busy that I didn't even have the time to read my letter. I was so busy that I didn't even get a reply?"

He pressed her, reaching out to pinch her chin again, his tone even more somber than before.

This time, he used a lot of strength, the pain was so painful that she couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air.

She had nothing more to say, so she only bit her lips and looked at him stubbornly. Her eyes were filled with an unfathomable emotion that even she could not understand.

After staring at each other for nearly ten seconds, Si Yi Chen finally let go of his hand and shifted his gaze away.

"I'll send you back."

His lips were not pursed, and as he said these words, his eyes darkened.

"No need."

Gu Tong expressed her refusal, but in the next second, she made her move, and the pain on her ankle became even more intense. She forced herself not to frown.

In the next second, he felt that his body was being manipulated.

When Gu Tong came back to her senses, Siyi Chen had already hugged her tightly and walked out of the bar with large strides.

Feeling the temperature that a man should have, Gu Tong couldn't help blushing. She lightly tapped the man's chest as she said, "Quickly put me down, I can do it myself!"

"Why didn't you just say you could when you bared your teeth? "Hmm?" Facing the woman's beating, the smile on Si Yi Chen's face deepened. "It's just sending you home. What, are you afraid?"

The man's charming words were just in front of her ears, making her unable to say a single word. As for the youth in his memories, he had already shed his immaturity and transformed into an even more mature appearance. Only now did she realize that the boy from before had become a man, and that her resistance was not a big problem in his eyes.

He was even stronger, so strong that he could lift her up with one hand.

After failing to resist, Gu Tong decided to not resist anymore.

She was as still as a sheep beside a big gray wolf until he carried her out of the bar and down the street toward the parking lot.

The low-key yet luxurious Lexus stood impressively in the middle of the parking lot. While holding Gu Tong in his arms, Si Yi Chen was able to take out his car key and press the unlock button.

He carried her to the passenger seat and set her down with surprising gentleness.

The moment he bent down, his clothes brushed slightly against Gu Tong's skin, causing her to feel a burst of heat.

This was the first time she felt this way when she was facing the gentleness of a man. Her heart was like a drum, mixed with panic, not knowing what to do, and even a little bit happy.

It had been eight years, and she was actually very happy to see him again. However, it was only because she had always been reserved that she didn't express her emotions.

He said that she had not contacted him for eight years, but he did not know that it was because she did not dare to contact him.

He said she was so busy that she didn't even have time to read his letters, but he didn't know that she had already read them over and over again, and they were all kept in the same box as if they were her treasures.

These were all secrets that he did not know, secrets that she would not reveal.

After helping Gu Tong fasten her seat belt, he gave her a deep look, then got into the driver's seat of the car.

Soon, he started the engine and the car sped away, out of the parking lot and onto the main road.

They were almost silent all the way. He asked her if she still lived in the same place, and she just nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Although the car was air-conditioned, Gu Tong still habitually rolled down the windows, letting the evening breeze blow in, feeling the slight coolness.

She leaned against the window, looking out.
