Chapter 671: Why Did She Forget Everything (2)
Mu Yiliang stared at him blankly, and after a long time, she placed her hand in his palm.
He seemed to tremble for a moment, a hint of suppressed ecstasy flitting across his face.
Slowly, he tightened his grip, as if finally reaching the limit of his endurance, and suddenly pulled her into his embrace with force!
Mu Yiliang felt as if she had collided with a wall!
His chest was hard and scorching, no, not just his chest, his entire body was burning hot, as if every cell in his body was boiling!
The bitterness from the depths of her heart surged up without warning, making her involuntarily extend her arms and hug his waist.
"Yan Sijue..." she softly called his name, letting those two words roll off her lips, "Si Jue..."
The deadly familiarity, it wasn’t her illusion.
It was as if she had called him like this countless times before, whether playfully or angrily, excitedly or gently.
Why had she forgotten everything, why did they not want her to know that she and this man had a past together.
The man trembled violently!
"Yiliang, you..." he felt his mind go blank, not knowing whether to fear or to expect, could it be that she remembered? No...!
"Didn’t you ask me if I could give you a chance?" she suddenly looked up, smiling at him, "Now I have an answer, I’m willing to give you this chance."
It was as if the floodwaters gradually receded, the volcano ceased its eruption, the raging fire slowly extinguished... Yan Sijue closed his eyes, feeling the tension in his muscles gradually relax, only then did he raspily say: "Alright."
"I’m hungry. Take me to eat," she said with a smile.
"Hmm." he responded in a low voice.
It was as if the most secret corner of his heart blossomed with the most splendid flowers.
He thought her resistance towards him would never change, but didn’t expect the turning point to come so quickly. If she no longer resisted him, a month... was already enough for him!
...
In the riverside restaurant, under dreamlike lighting, with exquisite food, opposite her was the pleasing face of a man; turning her head, she could see the misty view of the river.
For a moment, she felt a sense of déjà vu, as if this scene was also familiar.
The man’s eyes were lowered as his slender fingers held a shrimp, carefully peeling the shell. He was not very skilled, but very meticulous; after a while, he finally peeled it and leaned over to place it in her bowl.
Mu Yiliang looked down at the shrimp, then glanced at the man opposite.
Probably no one would believe that Yan Sijue, adored by young people all over the world, would be someone like this in private, with all his aura stripped away; he was silent and reserved, gentle and meticulous, cautiously presenting his heart before her, yet still fearing he might inadvertently disturb her.
"Don’t like it?" he asked with a smile, wiping his hands with a napkin.
She shook her head and placed the shrimp in her mouth, chewing slowly.
The man leaned over again to pour her a small glass of red wine: "The wine in this restaurant is homemade at a nearby vineyard, and its flavor is very unique."
Mu Yiliang held the glass in her palm, finally unable to resist speaking: "Aren’t you curious? Don’t you want to know why I changed my mind?"
Yan Sijue paused, then laughed softly: "Isn’t it because you’ve finally been moved by me?"
Mu Yiliang looked into the depths of his pupils, and suddenly realized, he actually knew everything.
He knew she just wanted an answer, wanted to verify her suspicions, yet he seemed completely indifferent.
He only cared... that she finally no longer resisted him, no matter the reason.
