Chapter 296: Chapter 296: I Love You (70)

"Sis, don’t cry... It’s just a Shen Congmo, right? In the future you can find someone even better than him. Three-legged toads may be hard to come by, but are two-legged men really that hard to find?"

Long Fengxi cried her heart out, without uttering a single word, just crying continuously for a full ten minutes.

From childhood to adulthood, in Long Tianjiao’s eyes, her sister had always been a cool and aloof academic ace, never showing weakness in front of her.

This was the first time she saw Long Fengxi at her most vulnerable, crying so heartbrokenly.

"It’s really over..." Leaning against the hood of her car, Long Fengxi uttered these words, "It’s never going to be possible anymore."

"Do the folks at home know you’re back in the country?"

"They don’t, only you know. I’ve already bought a flight for tomorrow morning." Long Fengxi instructed, "Don’t tell the family I’m back. I don’t want them to know."

"Okay."

Long Tianjiao saw Shen Congmo’s car parked not far away, and she looked up at the window of the eighth floor.

The window, which had been lit, suddenly went dark.

The light went out.

Long Fengxi stared blankly at the extinguished window, a curve suddenly forming at the corner of her mouth.

For her, the light that went out signified not just a bulb, but the entirety of her love for him.

From now on, she and Shen Congmo would become observers from across the water, never again able to step closer towards each other.

"Take me back to the hotel."

"Okay."

Long Tianjiao drove her back to her hotel, "Sis, you don’t seem to be in good spirits, and you’ve lost a lot of weight compared to before you went abroad. Take good care of yourself."

"I’m fine." Long Fengxi looked out the window.

"Sis, have you eaten? If you haven’t, shall we grab something to eat first?"

"I’ve eaten already."

"Mhm."

After dropping her off at her hotel, Long Tianjiao returned home.

Having entered the hotel’s revolving door and feeling a heaviness in her chest, Long Fengxi stepped back out.

She wore a beige long coat, hands in pockets, and slowly stepped onto the sidewalk.

The hotel was about a fifteen-minute walk from the high school she used to attend, and she found herself standing at the school gates, unconsciously.

She remembered many things from the past, all of them related to him.

Before the age of eighteen, she and Shen Congmo began dating.

To this day, she vividly remembers the day they made it official; after evening self-study, Shen Congmo cornered her at the school gate and asked her, "What do you think of me?"

"What aspect are you referring to?" she countered.

"The manly aspect."

She shyly replied, "I wouldn’t know. I haven’t tried, so how would I know what you’re like in that aspect."

After she said that, Shen Congmo kissed her.

Their secret romance naturally began from there, but they did not consummate the relationship.

When Long Fengxi turned eighteen, the adult gift he gave her was their first time together.

Just like that, so many years have passed.

They had given each other the most tender years of their youth.

Gu Lili arrived in Kang Bridge District early in the morning.

Looking at the sign in front of her: LN Film and Media Co., Ltd.

Stepping in, Antonio was having breakfast, "You’re just in time, here are a couple of scripts for you to take a look at."

Gu Lili leaned against the office desk, reviewing the main synopsis of several scripts, none of which satisfied her, "None of them work."

"I don’t think they’re much good either. For Tian Jiao’s debut leading role in a production, the script must be strong, so I’m still searching. According to the intensity of her current studies, when we find a good script, she will be about ready to perform. Nowadays, many students from the film school start acting after a year of university. Tian Jiao, after studying for two or three months, I feel she will do quite well, especially since she’s being taught by famous teachers and professors."
