Ultimately, Lin Luqin had to depart.

Her encounter with Zhao Yuegu was mere happenstance.

She was bound for work, after all.

Next on her agenda was producing a program to aid the impoverished at another location.

Zhao Yuegu was well aware of this.

"When will you be leaving?"

"I'll wrap up the shoot tonight and head out tomorrow morning."

A shadow crossed Lin Luqin's gaze.

The time spent with Zhao Yuegu had been precious to her.

Every moment felt enriching.

Yet, deep down, she harbored a sliver of fantasy.

She dreamed that Zhao Yuegu might take the initiative and accompany her as she left this place.

Even if it meant...

She would be the one providing for him in the future!

"I'll see you off."

His words left Lin Luqin feeling a tinge of disappointment.

He wouldn't be leaving this place after all.

"I wonder when we'll say goodbye again."

Lin Luqin inhaled deeply, striving to lift her spirits.

She then took Zhao Yuegu's hand and penned a series of digits.

"Here's my number. Reach out if you need anything."

"And this is my address."

She left her contact details willingly, still hoping Zhao Yuegu would seek her out.

"I've got it memorized."

He was about to say more when Lin Luqin suddenly lunged forward.

A delicate fruity scent drifted from her, and her soft lips landed on Zhao Yuegu's in a tender kiss.

Caught off guard, he was slightly entranced.

The fragrance was fresh and airy, reminiscent of lily of the valley or a freshly sliced watermelon on a summer day.

But it was the softness of her lips that he wished could last forever.

Lin Luqin had intended to leave Zhao Yuegu with an indelible memory.

But as Zhao Yuegu's strong arms pulled her close, escape was impossible.

Her kiss was soft, yet Zhao Yuegu's response was more passionate and unrestrained.

Her body involuntarily softened, her gaze becoming faintly hazy.

It took considerable effort to finally push Zhao Yuegu away.

"There are so many people around."

"They can't see us."

Regrettably, with the courtyard so crowded, there was little more they could do.

He suspected...

Lin Luqin wouldn't have objected.

Even if he were to refuse, there would be no real loss.

Aren't men supposed to be proactive?

Lin Luqin, standing before him, was visibly flustered and dashed out the door.

But after a few steps, she turned and headed in the opposite direction.

Clearly, she had run the wrong way.
