Chapter 592: Chapter 589

In the midst of a relationship.

And now, as Li Zaijun suddenly heard his voice slowly coming through again:

“You are a good girl, someone will always cherish you, love you, understand your efforts, and just want to hold you in their palm, shield you from the wind and rain.”

Upon hearing this, her eyes still brimming with redness, Li Zaijun couldn’t help but let out a light scoff, her face bearing a faint self-mockery, her voice hoarse:

“Don’t comfort me anymore, there’s none, absolutely none.”

By the end, she lowered her eyes, a sourness rising in her nose even more intensely.

“How can there be none!?”

Her chin was lifted once again by him, Shen Lin’s gaze intensively fixating on her as he countered.

Li Zaijun was stunned.

Shen Lin said word by word, “Perhaps he is older than you, but he has experienced more, all the setbacks and hardships, he has already passed through them before you, he can help you with anything, understand any emotion you need, give you everything you want.”

At this point, his tone paused, then he slowly spoke three more words: “…including love.”

After these words fell, Li Zaijun’s small body stiffened.

She just stared at him in a daze.

His words clearly fell into her ears, but her mind was in utter chaos.

She had read books for so many years, yet at that moment, she seemed to understand nothing at all.

Meanwhile, having finished calling Lu Xiao, Wen Xian came over.

Li Zaijun, hearing footsteps, hurriedly pushed him away and turned to the side, her small chest heaving violently.

Her small hands clenched tightly, her gaze seemingly nowhere to rest.

Under the dim streetlight, Wen Xian hurried over, not noticing much, she directly grabbed Li Zaijun’s small hand and headed toward the car:

“Hurry and say goodbye to your Brother Shen, we need to get back quickly, your brother is already angry.”

Saying so, Wen Xian also greeted Shen Lin with a nod, promising to see him tomorrow.

They had scheduled their plan for the next day, she herself was about to leave, so they must cut through the mess quickly.

Li Zaijun hesitated and lifted her eyes to look at him again, her lips moved, but she still couldn’t say those words.

As she left in the car, they passed by Shen Lin, who stood by the roadside.

His hands inserted into his suit trousers, he looked up and waved a hand as their car passed by, tugging at the corner of his lips, revealing a lazy and enchanting smile.

“…”

Li Zaijun sat in the passenger seat, looking out at him, her gaze still on her, and she couldn’t help turning her head away.

Her small hand gripped the safety belt in front of her tightly, not daring to look at him.

One had to say, her mind was a mess.

His words completely stirred up her heart.

What exactly did he mean by that?

The man he spoke of—

The one perhaps older, but mature, who knew how to cherish someone— who was he?

What exactly did he mean by telling her all this…?

Could it be, he…

No.

Li Zaijun didn’t know what possibility she had thought of, her breathing nearly stopping.

How could it be, how could it be possible? Perhaps he was just casually comforting her, without any other meaning.

Besides, even if it were true, she, she couldn’t…

…

…

The next day.

Wen Xian said she would take Li Zaijun to school, and then had to go to the Animal Protection Association, so she was prepared to leave early in the morning.

Yet, Lu Xiao’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Actually, after she came back last night, it was already very late, everyone at home was asleep, and after she took a bath—
