If It Wasn't For Him

As bright red lanterns floated into the sky, carrying the wishes of those in the capital, Mei Deng found himself gazing fully into the general's piercing eyes, he gulped hard when Wang Tengfei pulled him closer, till Da-Xia was the only thing keeping them apart.

The child in question gasped, "Lemon Gege!" She cried out in recognition, drawing both men out of their thoughts. Mei Deng gave her an incredulous stare, he gulped hard, then parted his lips to speak.

"Bro..." Before he could utter a complete word, the man who held onto his waist so firmly, suddenly let go and walked past him, as though he did not see him!

Mei Deng hastily turned around, he watched the general's back walk further away from him, gradually disappearing into the crowd!

His free hand mindlessly reached out to catch the general before he disappeared from his sight completely. If not for Da-Xia who excitedly cupped his cheeks, he might have ended up running after the general.
