C106 Chapter 106
Xia Huanhuan raised her head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the waiting room. It was already 11.30pm. When she returned to City B, it would be 4am in the morning.
What would he do then? Had he already fallen asleep or was he constantly searching for her?
Xia Huanhuan bit her lips with her white teeth. She stood up, walked to the public phone in the supermarket next to the waiting room and dialed Jun Ziyan's cell number.
In just a short moment, the phone was connected. A familiar voice came from inside, "Who is it?" However, it was different from his usual cold and indifferent tone. At this moment, his voice contained a sense of anxiety and unease.
Xia Huanhuan couldn't help but hold the phone tightly in her hand. She opened her mouth but was unable to say a single word. It was as if her words were stuck in her throat.
"Is that Huanhuan?" He shouted her name, nervous and expectant.
Xia Huanhuan took a deep breath. "It's me."
"Where are you now? I'll pick you up! " Jun Ziyan said worriedly.
"No need, I'll be back at around 4 in the morning. You go to sleep first." she said quickly.
On the other end of the line, he was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
"It's too late. Sleep well first."
"I'll wait for you." he insisted. He couldn't sleep without her!
Xia Huanhuan pursed her lips and did not continue. Most of the time, as long as it was something he wanted to do, no matter how others tried to persuade him, it would be useless.
After finishing the call, she waited in the waiting room for another fifteen minutes before getting on the train.
In B City, Xia Huanhuan's guess was not wrong. Jun Ziyan had almost flipped the entire B City over.
"Okay, nothing happened to Xia Huanhuan. Since she said that she would be back at 4 o'clock, then I'll ask her where she went when she comes back." Jun Zixiu patted Jun Ziyan's shoulder.
In the past few days, the entire Jun Family had been unstable. Before his Big Brother's Predestine could be found, Xia Huanhuan had disappeared again. If not for the call, the police might have sent someone to search for him.
"Yes." Jun Ziyan replied, but his expression didn't change at all.
When Xia Huanhuan returned to B City, it was already past 4 in the morning. At the bottom of the apartment building, the security guard on duty was surprised to see her. It was as if he didn't expect her to appear at this time.
"Miss Xia, you've returned." The other party smiled.
Xia Huanhuan nodded her head carelessly and walked into the elevator. After pressing the number she was familiar with, Xia Huanhuan saw that the number on the elevator floor was constantly changing.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
Ding dong!
When the elevator doors opened, Xia Huanhuan stepped out of the elevator and arrived in front of the apartment building. However, the moment her hand pressed the lock, she suddenly stopped.
You want to open the door? Inside the door, Ziyan must be waiting for her! When she arrived, her mind was full of questions. She wanted to see him, to know the truth.
But when she did open the door, she hesitated. His sight fell on his right wrist. That was the bracelet that he had personally made for her. In her bag, there was also the bracelet that she hadn't finished.
Do you want to ask? Do you want to ask him the truth? She asked him if he remembered the meeting between her and Ye Nanqing at the age of 6. She asked him if he remembered every word she said at that time. She asked him if the person behind the scenes was him …
However … And if so? If so, how could she face him?
Xia Huanhuan's mind was in a mess. After a long while, she took a deep breath and pressed her finger on the unlocked number on the lock.
Di!
The sound of a door being unlocked could be heard.
Xia Huanhuan's hand moved to the doorknob and pushed open the door. She thought Jun Ziyan would be waiting for her, either sleeping on the bed or lying on the sofa, but she didn't expect him to be standing at the entrance of the hallway with her doll in his arms.
The light in the hall was on, and when it fell on him, it was a kind of quiet silver white. That pair of pitch-black eyes were currently staring at her without blinking. It was as if he had been waiting here for her for a long time!
"You are standing here … Wait for me? " Xia Huanhuan asked as she closed the door.
"Yes." He put the bear doll down on the counter next to him, stretched out his arms, and hugged her.
"Huanhuan, don't leave like this next time. I will be panicking!" His head was buried deep in her shoulders, smelling her breath, feeling her warmth. She had no idea how panicked he had become when he couldn't find her.
He had looked through her company and the villa she was responsible for.
But no, nowhere! And when he called up the surveillance footage that might have found her again, he was nowhere to be found.
At that moment, he suddenly understood his big brother's feelings. It was a feeling of panic and helplessness, not knowing what to do. Looking at those surveillance videos, he wanted to find something, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find the person he was looking for. And the heart, along with watching again and again, and slowly down to the bottomless abyss.
Xia Huanhuan could only feel Jun Ziyan's arms tightly wrapping around her. His breath was circling the tip of her nose while his head was constantly rubbing against her neck. It was a clear feeling of unease.
Did her disappearance fluster him?
Biting her lip, she slowly wrapped her arms around his back, patting him gently, one after the other, as if comforting him.
The shuffling of his head gradually stopped, and her soothing slowly calmed his restlessness. She was back, in his arms, in his arms!
After a long while, he finally straightened his body and looked down at her. "Why didn't you pick up my call?"
"The electric board on my phone has dropped." She looked at his pale face, and his tired brow. The hem of his shirt and hair were a little messy. "How long have you been standing here?"
"I don't know." "When I got your call, I went back to the apartment and waited for you."
Wait? Xia Huanhuan was stunned for a moment. "You've been waiting here all this time?"
"Yes." "Yes," he said.
It had been nearly five hours since she had called him from the train station, until she had come back here. So he had also been standing here waiting for her for almost five hours?
Just standing there, hugging her doll like that?!
"Why are you standing here? You can wait in bed, or you can lie down on the sofa and wait. " It was better than standing there waiting for her!
"I want to see Huanhuan earlier." For him, this was the only reason.
Xia Huanhuan was stunned. Was it just for this "earlier"? So he could stand at this profound entrance for that long? Her eyes stared into his exquisite facial features, straight nose and watery lips under the light. Had he really done that three years ago?
Was it really related to him that she broke up with Ye Nanqing?
When he habitually squeezed his fingers into hers and locked his fingers together with hers, Xia Huanhuan realized that Jun Ziyan's fingers were icy cold at this moment.
The temperature had already started to cool down, and the heat in the apartment was not on right now.
"Is it cold?" she asked.
"Yes, it's cold. But once Huanhuan comes back, I won't be cold anymore. " As he waited for her alone in the empty apartment, the cold was bone-deep and soaked deep in his blood. Even with her bear in his arms, he could not dispel the chill. In his mind, he kept thinking, Where is she, and how long is he going to wait?!
Until... Until she appeared!
"What about Huanhuan? Is it cold?" He took her hand and held it to his lips, breathing softly. Then he lifted his other hand and placed both her hands on the center of her hand, rubbing it gently.
Her hands were warming up bit by bit, hers, and his!
Xia Huanhuan looked at Jun Ziyan quietly and suddenly said, "You're not asking me, where the hell did you go?"
His hands trembled, his eyelashes trembled, and he asked, "Do you want me to ask?" It seemed that if she didn't want to say it, he could never ask.
However, Xia Huanhuan still said, "I went to Z city."
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "You went to see your mother?" Just like the last time, her sudden disappearance was due to her mother's illness being hospitalized, so she had rushed back to City Z.
However, before this, he had called Xia Family and her mother had answered the phone, so there wasn't anything strange about it. He also didn't mention that she wanted to return to Z City.
"No, I didn't go back to my house. I went to our little park by the kindergarten and stayed in that little sandpit there for a while." Xia Huanhuan said.
When she said this, Jun Ziyan's actions suddenly stopped.
He slightly raised his chin and stared at her in a daze. Even though his expression was still indifferent, the blood color on his face was disappearing bit by bit.
He pursed his lips and didn't say a word. His pair of eyes were as calm as a dead sea.
"You told me last time that you don't remember who I was with the first time you met me by the sandpit when you were little, what I said, what I did, right?" she asked.
His pupils suddenly constricted as his body stiffened at her words. "Mhm." "Yes," he replied, his long eyelashes drooping to cover his eyes.
"Did you really forget?" She looked at him silently, and his face grew paler.
Did she know anything? Or had he guessed something? The secret that he had spent so much effort to hide, the thing that he had done with everything in order to get her.
