Chapter 254

He Lele turned sideways to close her umbrella, avoiding his concerned and probing gaze.

Gazing at her smiling side profile, Li Yiquan couldn't smile like her. "Then sing a song for me, anything is fine."

"Now? Next time, I... I'm a bit tired, going upstairs first. The house is a bit messy, so I won't invite you up." Passing by him, He Lele stepped onto the stairs on her own.

"... Happy." Li Yiquan grabbed her arm. The sorrow between her brows made his usually clear and rational mind a bit confused. Knowing he shouldn't, he really wanted to hold her in his arms, give her comfort, and soothe the pain in his heart at this moment.

Turning back to look at his elegant and handsome face, those gentle phoenix eyes were full of worry and anxiety—what virtue or ability does she have.

Raising a relaxed and bright smile, He Lele opened her mouth gently. "I come from the mountains, carrying orchid grass, planted in the small garden, hoping for early blooming... do you want me to sing more?"

Li Yiquan looked at her small face without blinking and slowly let go. "The weather is cool, rest early."

"Mm! Good night!"

"Good night."

"I come from the mountains, carrying orchid grass, planted in the small garden, hoping for early blooming." He Lele hummed while running upstairs lightly. "Looking three times a day, looking at... the flower time passed, but the orchid still, bud... not even one."

The smile was still on her face, but the key in her hand trembled so much that she couldn't align it with the keyhole of the door lock.

L... L, if you had appeared earlier, a few months earlier, would... everything be different...

"If we had met earlier, would you have allowed yourself to cry in my arms?" Li Yiquan stood behind He Lele and said softly, his elegant and dusty face full of indelible regret and pain.

He had a chance, as long as he was willing, he could have appeared in front of her at any time in these three years, let her know all of him, fall in love with him. He could also have held her in his arms when she cried, instead of standing behind her incompetently watching her thin body being tortured by pain and trembling!

But he didn't. She wanted him not to miss it, but he had already missed it for three years, what should he do?

"Heh..." He Lele turned around with a brilliant smile. "That's not necessarily true, actually, you're not my type. Mm—"

Seeing her obvious cover-up, clearly fragile and about to collapse at any time but forcing a smile, Li Yiquan felt his reason crash. Before his brain rebooted, he had already stepped forward to hug her thin waist and kissed her forcefully for a long time.

When reason returned to his head, he still couldn't bear to leave her soft, warm, and fragrant lips, turning to gentle, detailed kisses.

From initial resistance to gradual cooperation, hugging his warm and solid body, He Lele couldn't suppress the guilt in her heart.

Sorry, Lingyu, sorry, just this once, just this once, let her steal a little strength.

Don't know how long it took, He Lele finally found the strength to push Li Yiquan away. "We... still shouldn't see each other again."

Opening the door in a panic and entering the room, He Lele leaned against the door and smiled bitterly in sorrow.

Sorry, it was she who begged him not to give up on her, and now again...

So, for someone like her, whatever happens is her own fault!

"Between people and people..."

The phone rang suddenly, Qin Zhixiu calling.

Author's Note:

Did I say I wouldn't abuse Lele? Alright... that was just my beautiful expectation...

Hesitating for a moment, He Lele answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Lele..." A timid voice. "Sorry, I... I should have helped you."

"... No need."

"Lele! I really didn't mean it, I thought you, no, I thought you... I... sorry..."

"No need to explain, I know. I'm not angry with you anymore." He is different from them, she has no reason to blame him.

"Really?" A surprised and disbelieving voice.

A trace of warmth flowed through her heart, He Lele took the cloth bag off her shoulder and hung it behind the door. "Mm."

"Meow..." Little Red Bean sat up straight on the pillow.

"Lele, the paparazzi have been following quite closely lately, I'm going back to the apartment first, I'll be back in a few days. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask Auntie Wang to teach me these few days."

"Anything is fine, be careful when cooking, don't let the oil splash, don't let the pots and bowls burn you." Picking up Red Bean, He Lele sat on the bed.

"... Mm. By the way, you..." ===== CHAPTER 255 =====
