Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Displaced and Adrift

Having said that, Bian Yue took Shen Jinci’s arm and headed towards the parking lot.

"Shen Jinci, where did you park the car?" Bian Yue’s voice was soft and whiny, her demeanor excessively adorable.

"Um...I don’t remember either, do you want to look for it?"

"You’re lying!"

"How could I? I’m not lying to you, really can’t find it."

Their voices grew more distant, and Su Youxue stood still, unsure of how to describe her astonishment at this moment.

Shen Jinci’s treatment of Bian Yue was really too indulgent.

Even when witnessed with one’s own eyes, it would seem incredible.

In front of Bian Yue, Shen Jinci was completely different from the person rumors described.

Su Youxue somewhat understood why Bian Yue had left so resolutely.

She indeed had found someone better...

After Bian Yue got into the car, she kept complaining of thirst. Shen Jinci handed her a bottle of water, but Bian Yue just took the bottle and kept giggling non-stop.

Shen Jinci raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and looked at her, "What’s wrong?"

"Mr. Shen," Bian Yue coughed and looked at Shen Jinci earnestly, "Is what you want to talk to me about serious business?"

It was as if in an instant they traveled through time, trembling Bian Yue and the presumptuous Bian Yue before him overlapped.

They were, after all, the same person.

Shen Jinci watched Bian Yue with amusement, touched her hair and asked, "Do you have any inappropriate business you wish to discuss with me?"

Bian Yue said she didn’t, for she was a good citizen.

The words ’good citizen’ coming from Bian Yue’s mouth were charmingly cute.

There was a deep amusement in Shen Jinci’s eyes, as he countered Bian Yue, "Then what am I?"

"You?" Bian Yue squinted her eyes leisurely as she looked at Shen Jinci. She pinched his face, seriously: "I will have to take a good look at that."

Shen Jinci didn’t mind, he held Bian Yue’s hand against his cheek, his voice lazy and smiling even more, "Then you should take a good look."

Bian Yue’s eyes and mouth curved, she bit her lip and smiled sweetly; the arc her eyes made was charming, her tailing voice slowly said: "You! You must be a vixen that appeared from somewhere!"

"Why a vixen?" Shen Jinci couldn’t help his laughter, his eyes warm with amusement.

Bian Yue stared somewhat dazedly, like an ancient emperor bewitched by beauty, just staring at Shen Jinci without speaking. After a long while, she finally said very softly, "Because you are handsome."

"Bian Yue."

"Hm?"

Shen Jinci gazed into Bian Yue’s eyes and spoke again, his voice huskier than before, "Don’t seduce me like this."

Bian Yue truly didn’t understand, how could this count as seduction?

So she stared with her clear black and white eyes, unwaveringly at him.

She clearly said nothing, yet the deep meaning in her words was evident.

Shen Jinci felt his heart being stirred, becoming increasingly restless.

He was not an impetuous youngster, always restrained and patient, but at this moment, he suddenly didn’t want to hold back anymore. His fingertips gently caressed Bian Yue’s face, his voice bewitching, "Yueyue, may I kiss you?"

Bian Yue may have been drunk, but her mind was still sharp. She frowned and said softly, "You kissed me before without asking if it was okay, didn’t you?"

Shen Jinci’s eyes narrowed, masking the deep undercurrents in his gaze, and he quietly said, "Now I want to ask."

Then Bian Yue pressed him, asking, "Why is that?"

Shen Jinci paused, then said, "Because I want to hear you say you’re willing in person."

Bian Yue patted Shen Jinci on the shoulder; her voice was clear and pleasant, utterly open-minded. She said, "It’s just saying it in person, isn’t it? What’s so difficult about that, Shen Jinci..."

"I’m here."

"Kiss me."

She said it so decisively, even her eyes were forthright.

Shen Jinci felt his chest swelling more and more; his hand caressing Bian Yue’s face grew more clinging. He said softly "okay," and without a hint of hesitation, he kissed her deeply....

At the Li Family, Li Sihe lay in bed, immersed in a very long dream.

In the dream, it was his birthday; a 17-year-old Bian Yue was standing next to a tall cake in a little white dress, with carefully tied bows in her hair.

With a peach-bloom complexion, her smile was like the thawing of ice and snow in spring, brimming with boundless beauty.

In the dream, Bian Yue just stood before him, smiling at him from afar.

She said, "Li Sihe, happy birthday, may you live a century."

He walked toward her, smiling genuinely, asking her, "Is it just a happy birthday wish?"

"My gosh, this is a happy birthday wish directly from me. Many people want to hear it but can’t," Bian Yue said slightly lifting her delicate chin, her face full of incontestable cuteness as she spoke, "I’m wishing you a happy birthday, you should say thank you."

In the span of a year, Bian Yue before him had become carefree.

Yet it was precisely this side of Bian Yue that Li Sihe liked.

So his eyes indulged her with a smile, and he said softly and tenderly, "Thank you, Bian Yue."

That year’s Bian Yue had the happiest expression that Li Sihe remembered.

At that time, betrayal and injury were far from making their entrance, and his life had not yet become as complicated as it would later; he truly loved the girl before him with all his heart.

If possible, he too wished to protect her for a lifetime, shielding her from the hardships of this world.

And in the dream, Bian Yue indeed smiled at him without reservation; she said, "How about, I give you an extra birthday gift?"

He asked her what the birthday gift was, and if there was still time to get it.

What he really wanted to say was that it didn’t matter what the birthday gift was, as long as she was by his side, nothing else mattered, her presence was more important than anything.

But Bian Yue said there was time; the next second, she tiptoed and kissed his cheek.

A kiss light as a dragonfly skimming the water, yet her eyes shone at him as if filled with a multitude of stars.

And so, Li Sihe’s heartbeat went wild, and from then on, for the rest of his life, it became unforgettable.

Li Sihe awoke from the dream with his heart still throbbing.

Staring blankly at the glaring lights, his heart felt hollow, as if something was amiss.

Those were days that could not return, even at present, holding power, he could not reverse the time.

Nor could Bian Yue possibly love him as devotedly as she once did.

As soon as Su Youxue came in, she saw Li Sihe lying in bed, lost in thought.

His complexion pale, there was an extreme sense of fragility about him that was heart-wrenching to see.

Su Youxue’s eyes reddened slightly as she approached Li Sihe, lifting a smile, "Mr. Li, you’re awake. You’ve been asleep for quite a while."

Li Sihe then collected his thoughts, turning to look at Su Youxue beside him.

She had not yet changed out of her gown; her makeup was exquisite, her features picturesque.

Li Sihe reached out, touched Su Youxue’s almond-shaped eyes, and said in a soft voice, "Did you go out?"

Su Youxue said, "Today was the celebration for ’Beijixing,’ I went with Miss Zhuang. Miss Zhuang helped me a lot today."
