Hug...

Initially, Su Jin had already composed herself. Yet when she heard this word, she was startled and suddenly let out a burst of laughter.

With this sort of tone, as if he was coaxing a child, what was he trying to do?

Sitting in the corner all curled up as she hugged her knees, the white chiffon gown that the girl was wearing had been completely covered with dirt. Though with a slightly ashen face and strands of loosened hair that was damp with sweat on her forehead and plastered to her cheeks, her pair of eyes still remained bright. Although those beautiful phoenix eyes were still lucid, teardrops had swelled up in them as if they were going to overflow. Her red lips were a little dry and rough but they curled up and showed a bright smile.

"Come here." Lu Xi looked at her smile but he hid his own smile that had crept to the surface and spoke with a heavy voice.

Seeing the man before her suddenly becoming domineering, Su Jin quelled her smile too and childishly pouted before she brashly threw herself forward.

As the slightly chilly body entered his embrace, Lu Xi composed himself and steadily held onto her as he reached out to circle his arms around her soft and slim waist.

Originally, she had only thought of hugging him for a while before retreating so Su Jin was startled. The man's arms around her waist hugged her rather tightly and it seemed like they were slightly... trembling.

Gradually with a sigh of relief that brushed past her ears, her neck grew warm and there seemed to be something like a water droplet that had fallen upon it.

"Lu Xi..." She spoke with slight hesitance.

Could it be perspiration or could it be... tears.

"Really want to have you merged into me." He abruptly said with a raspy voice and a tone filled with rage.

Like this, he wouldn't lose her again.

On his way to find her, he forced himself to calm down as he drove. He could not let anything happen to him before he found her and once he found her, he would make himself smile in fear of scaring her.

However, at present, she was in his embrace.

After all of his suppressed thoughts were released, all of that panic that he had burst forth. How was he supposed to resist?

For so many years, he had those feelings that had been restrained in his heart without having the courage to touch his most important person...

"I'm so glad."
