This was the first time in half a year that the two of them had the opportunity to be alone together again.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, there was a sense of distance between them.

In Zhou Yuan's eyes, there was only deep affection and guilt. He had once said he wanted to grow old with Chu Ran, but now he had already broken his promise.

Chu Ran was equally uneasy, her long black hair draped over her shoulders, her youthfulness giving the impression of a first love.

The silence made them both very awkward.

And in Chu Ran's beautiful eyes, there was a hint of reluctance. Was she really expected to speak first?

But seeing no sign of initiative from Zhou Yuan, she could only pretend to be nonchalant and lightly opened her red lips, "I heard you were looking for me?"

She absolutely could not get too invested, for fear she couldn't help but cry her eyes out, making Zhou Yuan think she was weak.

She must be strong!

Yes!

Strong!

"Yes!"
