A city's largest TV station had just concluded an awards ceremony. Lin Yue, who had been sitting in the audience, immediately picked up her dress and rushed to the makeup room, followed closely by her manager, Cenhuan.
The simple-colored gown trailed on the floor, creating seductive curves with each step, while the sound of her slim high heels tapping the ground mirrored her racing heartbeat.
As soon as she burst into the makeup room, Lin Yue grabbed the clothes laid out and dove into the changing room. After changing and removing her makeup, she put on a cap, picked up the sunglasses, and grabbed her bag, running towards the outside.
"The car is waiting at the back door, and there's nobody there yet," Successfully dodging the swarming media after each event had become an unspoken agreement between the two over the years.
Cenhuan looked at the woman in the mirror, inwardly sighing. Both are women, yet why is the disparity so big? She surely lives up to the media's praise as the most beautiful musician of the decade.
The car sped towards the suburban airport, and all along, Lin Yue almost wore through her watch face, her heart torn between the desire to see him quickly and the worry of missing the pickup time, hoping time could slow down a bit.
"Can you go any faster!" Lin Yue urged from the back seat.
"This is as fast as we can go," the driver glanced at her from the rearview mirror.
As soon as the car stopped, Lin Yue immediately jumped out and ran inside, constantly checking her watch. Xiangnan's plane was due at ten, Lin Yue confirmed the time again, it should be arriving soon. She composed herself and kept looking out at the exit.
When the announcement for landing echoed through the plane, Lin Yao clutched Zhuo Xiangnan's hand tightly, "Xiangnan , I'm a bit scared ." Zhuo Xiangnan comforted her by patting her hand.
As the cabin door opened, Zhuo Xiangnan took Lin Yao's hand and led her outside. When they reached the exit, Lin Yao suddenly stopped, Zhuo Xiangnan turned around and bent down slightly to ask in a low voice, "Yaoyao , what's the matter ?"
Lin Yao looked up, biting her lip, "Xiangnan …"
Seeing her like this, Zhuo Xiangnan bent down and captured her lips, whispering in her ear, "Don't worry, I'm here for everything ."
The uneasy look in Lin Yao's eyes gradually faded away, she glanced at the person looking around on the opposite side with a smile, and boldly kissed Zhuo Xiangnan, her tongue daringly stirring his.
Lin Yue, turning around at the exit, still did not see the familiar figure. By chance she turned, and saw the two people embracing and kissing. Amidst the bustling airport, Lin Yue felt as though the world had gone completely silent, leaving only the paleness and the embracing couple. She felt as if her entire strength was drained in that instant, her face turning pale, wanting to walk over, but unable to muster any strength.
Zhuo Xiangnan let go of Lin Yao and walked outside, but then saw Lin Yue standing still right there. He immediately pulled Lin Yao into his arms, his brow furrowing as his words took on an interrogative tone, "What are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Lin Yue couldn't help but give a soft laugh, "Why can't I be here?" She looked up at him, "Zhuo Xiangnan , that question should be for the person in your arms ."
"Xiaoyue , Xiangnan was just coming back with me..." Lin Yao said softly as she pulled away from Zhuo Xiangnan's embrace.
"Just walked by and the two of you couldn't help but start kissing at the airport, huh? Lin Yao, do you think people are stupid!" Lin Yue said with a mocking laugh.
Listening to her words, Lin Yao's eyes immediately turned red, and Zhuo Xiangnan pulled her back into his arms, "What you saw is exactly what happened, Lin Yue. Are you satisfied with that answer?" he said as they walked towards the exit.
Watching them leave, Lin Yue threw the bag she was carrying at Zhuo Xiangnan, "Zhuo Xiangnan, you are such a bastard, don't forget that you are my boyfriend now!"
Zhuo Xiangnan was struck squarely by the unexpected bag, and Lin Yao screamed in fright. He turned around and looked coldly at Lin Yue, "With your current wealth and assets, you shouldn't worry about finding a man!" he said as he quickly walked away with Lin Yao still in his arms.
Listening to his words, the tears that were lingering on the verge streamed uncontrollably down her face, and her body trembled incessantly, finally collapsing to the ground.
With people coming and going at the airport, passersby looked curiously at the woman sprawled on the ground. Though curious, the airport being a place of departures and reunions explained it all.
After a while, a staff member approached and asked with concern, "Miss, do you need any help?"
Lin Yue shook her head, pushing herself to stand up, and walked out of the airport in a daze. The daylight outside was glaring, but she felt icy cold. She staggered towards her car, using all her strength to open the door and heavily leaned against the seat, murmured "home" and then closed her eyes.
Back at the apartment, Lin Yue leaned against the wall walking towards the bedroom, hugged her legs, and buried herself in the shadowy corner.
Zhuo Xiangnan, holding Lin Yao, got into the car waiting in the parking lot, "Xiangnan... Xiaoyue..." Lin Yao hesitated, her eyes filled with moisture.
Zhuo Xiangnan held her hand, cutting her off, "Should we visit your uncle and aunt first?"
"But I want to be with you more right now," Lin Yao said, hugging his neck coquettishly. Zhuo Xiangnan, with a smile in his eyes, told the driver a location and the car sped away.
No sooner had they reached the apartment than Zhuo Xiangnan's phone rang. After taking the call, just as Zhuo Xiangnan was about to speak, Lin Yao comforted him, "If you have things to do, go ahead. I'll just wait here." Zhuo Xiangnan gave her an apologetic look and left. Lin Yao watched his car drive away from the window, then turned and walked to the bedroom.
When Zhuo Xiangnan returned, it was almost deep into the night. As he opened the door, saw only two candlesticks placed on the dining table in the dark room, and Lin Yao standing in front of the table waiting for him.
He stepped forward and embraced Lin Yao, pulling her close into his arms.
Zhuo Xiangnan pulled back slightly, gazing into her eyes with fascination. His hand gently caressed Lin Yao's face, displaying all the years of affection in his eyes.
He held the woman in his arms as if he were holding the most precious treasure.
