Chapter 663: Chapter 662 I Will Prove My Love to You (4)
The subway station was about a hundred meters away from Yi Garden District, and Ling Chuxia walked straight towards the entrance to the left, not deviating towards Yi Garden District.
Shi Che followed her unhurriedly, maintaining a distance of a few steps behind.
Ling Chuxia’s face was expressionless, but her feet quickened unconsciously by two steps. No matter how fast she went, Shi Che managed to keep a certain distance from her, neither too close nor too far.
Despite her annoyance, Ling Chuxia could only constantly remind herself, pretend he’s not there, pretend he’s not there.
At this time, it was the peak hour for work, and this station served as a vital interchange for many commuters, making the subway station as crowded as a sea of people, where walking almost meant pressing against someone else.
Ling Chuxia had long been accustomed to such a scenario, deftly navigating through the crowd. After some time, something seemed to occur to her, and her eyes swept behind her unconsciously.
She had assumed that someone like Shi Che, a favored son of heaven, had probably never encountered a subway in his life and definitely wouldn’t set foot in such a crushingly crowded place, most likely stopping at the entrance.
But when she glanced back, she saw that Shi Che was still following behind her. His face showed no sign of impatience or disgust, but rather a calm demeanor. It was as if he, like her, had grown accustomed to it.
What’s going on? Why is this happening?
Not only Shi Che, but even she herself had felt uncomfortable the first time she had to squeeze onto the subway, taking almost one to two weeks to adapt. How could Shi Che be so composed? This wasn’t logical...
She stared at Shi Che unconsciously, even halting her steps briefly, just as Shi Che’s glance crossed hers. Their eyes met, and Ling Chuxia found herself looking into his dark, profound eyes. Her heart quivered fiercely, and her awareness snapped back.
Oh my, what was she thinking about? She was supposed to ignore his existence, and now her mind was filled with thoughts of him?
Ling Chuxia clenched her fists tightly and immediately shifted her gaze, taking strides to continue walking deeper into the station.
After taking the escalator down to the lowest floor, the subway was already approaching rapidly from the other end. When the doors opened, everyone surged towards the train. As Ling Chuxia moved with the crowd, the inevitable pushing and shoving occurred. Usually, Ling Chuxia would grit her teeth and push through, but today, feeling physically weak, she couldn’t muster enough strength. Nudged by someone, she lost her balance and staggered, tumbling uncontrollably backward.
Ling Chuxia tried desperately to regain control of her body to no avail; she expected a tumbling fall, but at the last moment, her slender waist was caught by an arm. With that pull, she didn’t fall to the ground but instead was drawn into an embrace.
This embrace, carrying a slight warmth and a scent she had been trying so hard to forget yet couldn’t, caused Ling Chuxia’s head to lift unconsciously, and as expected, she saw Shi Che’s beautiful jawline.
The next second, his dark eyes looked downward, his deep gaze filled with undisguised concern, "Chuxia, are you okay?"
Seeing the worry in Shi Che’s eyes, Ling Chuxia’s heart skipped a beat, and a trace of confusion flashed before her eyes, but the next second, she snapped into clarity. Stretching out her hand, she pushed Shi Che away forcefully.
