A handsome man suddenly appeared, making Lin Xiaomiao lose her composure.
She was just looking unhappy a moment ago, but now there was no time to stay angry.
She glanced at Mu Bai, then nudged Shen Cheng's arm with her elbow and whispered, "Shen Cheng, who is he?"
Shen Cheng frowned, with no intention to respond to her.
Seeing Shen Cheng silent, Lin Xiaomiao hesitantly called out, "Shen Cheng...?"
Sweeping a glance at her, Shen Cheng moved her lips slightly, "I don't know him."
A detached tone, without any emotional fluctuation.
After speaking, she turned around and left.
Lin Xiaomiao shouted, "Hey Shen Cheng... Don't go..."
Unexpectedly, Mu Bai also walked straight in the direction Shen Cheng was heading towards.
"Hey..."
Lin Xiaomiao reacted a bit late, initially planning to follow, but she could no longer see the two of them.
Once she exited the restaurant, Shen Cheng walked home along the path they came, with Mu Bai closely following behind her.
With that, Shen Cheng walked even faster.
Her face dark as if someone owed her thirty million.
She walked briskly, seemingly wanting no interaction with the man behind her.
Yet Mu Bai refused to leave, keeping right on her tail.
When she sped up, he did too; when she slowed down, he slowed as well.
After walking a long distance—
"Chengzi."
He finally spoke, his gentle voice like the most beautiful melody in the world.
But to Shen Cheng's ears, it wasn't so pleasant.
"Chengzi..."
Staring at her back, Mu Bai called out again.
Shen Cheng acted as if she didn't hear him, continuing to walk forward on her own.
"Shen Cheng!"
Mu Bai still refused to give up, shouting as he strode forward to catch up.
Just as he was about to reach Shen Cheng, she finally slowed down and turned around.
"Long time no see." Mu Bai's gaze lingered on her face, unwilling to look away for a long time.
"How long is long?" Shen Cheng's brows curved into a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"I know you don't want to see me."
His words amused Shen Cheng, "Since you know, shouldn't you have stayed out of my sight?"
Hearing her reply, Mu Bai couldn't help but smile, "Indeed, Chengzi, still the same Chengzi..."
Hearing this, Shen Cheng let out a mocking laugh, "If I'm not me, would I be you?"
Mu Bai looked into her eyes, his tone gradually becoming serious, "I like this Chengzi, who can take things up and put them down."
Shen Cheng shot him a glance, concealing her smile, and spoke plainly, "Don't call me Chengzi so affectionately, we're not that close."
Upon hearing her words, Mu Bai let out a bitter laugh, "I know you're still blaming me, but at that time, I had no choice..."
To say he had no choice?
Isn't that a joke!
Shen Cheng rolled her eyes irritably, not planning to entangle with him any longer.
Mu Bai watched her, with a smile in his eyes one moment, and his expression changing the next.
Then, his eyes filled with a hint of guilt and unease.
Looking down, after a brief silence, he spoke again.
"Four years ago, I was wrong."
His apology made Shen Cheng laugh.
By now, she no longer wanted to say anything.
At that time, it was just a play—
Shen Cheng turned to leave, and he tightly grasped her wrist.
"Chengzi, don't go."
Don't go?
Ridiculous, is Shen Cheng his caged pet!!
