Li Xiaolu walked out of the bar. Jijun was waiting for her outside. She approached him and said, "Let's go." Jijun asked, "Where are we going?" Li Xiaolu replied, "Just take a stroll." Jijun nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked slowly along the road. The night breeze was cool and felt pleasant against their skin. Li Xiaolu took a deep breath, and her mood lifted significantly. Jijun looked at her profile, his gaze softening. He suddenly said, "You've had quite a bit to drink."
Li Xiaolu paused for a moment and smiled, saying, "Not really, I only had a little." Jijun frowned and replied, "That’s still not okay." Li Xiaolu reassured him, "It's fine; I've built up my tolerance."
Jijun was taken aback. He remembered the first time they met when she got drunk, and he had to take her home. He had told her then that girls shouldn't drink so much. But now... he looked at her and asked, "Is it because we broke up that you...?"
Li Xiaolu interrupted him, saying, "No." She looked at him and added, "It's just that I've improved my tolerance." Jijun pressed his lips together and fell silent.
Li Xiaolu then asked him, "What about you?" Jijun was momentarily confused. "What do you mean?" he replied. Li Xiaolu clarified, "Since the breakup, has your tolerance improved?"
Jijun remained silent for a few seconds before quietly saying, "I’ve always drunk very little." Li Xiaolu smiled and said, "That's good." Jijun looked at her and said, "I'm sorry."
Li Xiaolu was taken aback and asked, "Why are you apologizing to me?" Jijun lowered his voice and said, "If I had known you would change so much because of me, I definitely wouldn't have broken up with you."
Li Xiaolu looked at him, feeling a bit complicated. She forced a smile and said, "Don't say that." Jijun remained silent. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Are you cold?" Li Xiaolu was taken aback and shook her head, "Not cold." Jijun still took off his coat and draped it over her. Li Xiaolu quickly said, "I'm really not cold; you should wear it." Jijun looked at her and replied, "You wear it; otherwise, I'll worry." Li Xiaolu gazed at him, feeling a bit conflicted. She wore his coat and continued walking forward, her emotions in disarray.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Kyra. She answered the call, "Hello." Kyra asked, "Lulu, where are you?" Li Xiaolu replied, "I'm outside; what's up?" Kyra said, "You need to come back quickly; there's something here that needs your attention." Li Xiaolu frowned and asked, "What is it?" Kyra responded, "You'll find out when you get back." Li Xiaolu sighed, "Alright, I'll head back now."
After hanging up the phone, she said to Jijun, "Sorry, I have to go back." Jijun asked, "What's wrong?" Li Xiaolu explained, "There's some work-related matter I need to handle." Jijun simply acknowledged with an "mm" and didn't say anything more. Li Xiaolu looked at Jijun and said, "Then I'll be on my way." Jijun nodded gently.
Li Xiaolu took a few steps forward but suddenly stopped again. She turned around to look at Jijun. He was still standing in place, watching her. Li Xiaolu smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry; I'll be back soon." Jijun was momentarily stunned before nodding and saying, "Okay."
Li Xiaolu turned and walked away. Jijun stood in place, watching her figure disappear before finally looking away. He turned around and slowly walked forward. His heart was in turmoil. He was afraid that once Li Xiaolu left, she wouldn't come back.
He remembered the day they broke up; she had left in the same way. Since then, he had not seen her again. It felt as if something was gripping his heart, making him feel uneasy. After walking a short distance, he suddenly stopped again. He turned around to look back.
In his line of sight, Li Xiaolu appeared. She was running towards him. Jijun was taken aback. Li Xiaolu reached him, panting as she looked at him.
Jijun snapped back to reality and quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"
Li Xiaolu waved her hand, "I'm fine."
Jijun questioned in confusion, "Then why did you..."
Li Xiaolu looked at him and said, "I want to tell you that I won't just disappear."
Jijun was stunned.
Li Xiaolu smiled and added, "I will come back."
Jijun gazed at her, feeling a bit complicated inside. He nodded gently and replied, "Okay."
