Chapter 1371: Chapter 1368: He Really Can’t Wait

But before he could ponder any further, reality had already pulled him back in. Ever since the last black market race, after his leg surgery in America, he had been doing rehabilitation in Country G. After months of professional treatment, his leg muscles had basically recovered. Although experts suggested continuing to observe for a few more months, he couldn’t wait, he really couldn’t wait, he didn’t even know why he felt such urgency.

This time, he returned specifically from Country G. He wanted to be by her side because the long-term longing made him feel empty-headed. He really missed her; he hadn’t seen her for ages. Without notifying anyone, he just returned in such an impatient manner, stubbornly returning to this place he wasn’t sure belonged to him. But he knew one thing: wherever she was, there he belonged.

Approaching the Paty Venue, the sight before him instantly petrified him.

In the center of the dance floor, a pair of people started dancing. Later, as the music in the venue switched, everyone seemed to have discovered an even more anticipated scene. They all stopped dancing simultaneously, formed a circle, and left space in the center, occasionally erupting into applause while watching.

The moonlight-like spotlight shone on the two people at the center, none other than Qiao Junlie in his prince outfit and Zi Ruoxi, resembling a spirit princess. The shadows of the two intertwined under the light, dreamy and ethereal. Accompanied by high-energy music, they were dancing jazz, the graceful hand gestures, the twists of the waist, the turns, even their exchange of glances, were incredibly elegant and perfect.

Watching their perfectly synchronized dance moves, their deep and devoted gazes, their wholehearted immersion—everything felt so real. Without any hazy veils, it was exposed in this seemingly dark night. Like a pair of enchanting night spirits, capturing everyone’s attention, many guests couldn’t resist capturing their dance on their phones to remember the moment. This moment almost mesmerized everyone... The venue frequently erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

Suddenly, he felt a blockage, a choking sensation in his throat, an inexplicable emotional pain pierced his heart. His pulsating heartbeat gradually slowed, until it mercilessly came to a halt, leaving scars all over, painfully robbing him of his breath... Is this the feeling of numbness?

Everything was already so clear; he had long known this outcome, Qiao Junlie being so infatuated, wealthy, handsome, cool... he seemed to possess all the advantages. Qiao Junlie was like an innate Prince Charming.

Such a man, almost no girl could refuse. Zi Ruoxi, someday she would be moved by him. These, these, hadn’t I thought of them long ago? Even prepared to accept... But why, in this moment, in the face of truth, does my heart feel so uncomfortable, so painful?

Is it because of love? Is it because I lost love?

No, I never owned it, so how could I lose it?

Thinking of this, Qiao Muyun’s thin face appeared even more lonely. He stood quietly in a corner, a dark corner, quietly watching them. He didn’t know how long had passed, probably oblivious to his heartache by now. A faint smile stiffly passed across his face—which was like a blessing, yet so bitter, as if devouring his heart.

Qiao Muyun’s neatly tied hair, a long ponytail lifted by the night wind, crisply brushed against his face, clearly revealing this fact. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Turning around, no more yearning, no more pain, letting the aching pain struggle in the corners of his eyes, spreading across his brow. This way, the pressure on his heart might be less, his whole body might feel better. But his body felt hollowed out, soft and powerless, every step was so difficult. Yet he still moved forward slowly, until he couldn’t hear the soul-stirring jazz music by his ears anymore.

Disappear, in this night not belonging to the wind, return to that lonely world! The wind cannot carry away the clouds; they always belong to the bright sky where their smiles bloom radiantly. The wind carries away a drop of heartbroken sorrow, mixed with broken wounds, in a corner where no one is, like a wolf licking its wounds alone, **healing!

...

A week later at Caesar Courtyard.

Everything was as expected; the days had no differences. But how could the surface tranquility suppress the tumultuous depths beneath?

In the luxurious room, Qiao Junlie held Zi Ruoxi, kissing deeply. Even though they had just been intimate, he couldn’t resist climbing onto her again, caressing her face, clamoring his love, his thoughts.

Though Zi Ruoxi had been with Qiao Junlie lately, almost every day was filled with joy, she occasionally showed signs of fatigue. However, under Qiao Junlie’s diligent soothing, her sensations quickly stirred up again. Seeing her gradually blushing and glowing, he wished to devour her again. In fact, he urgently needed her every moment.

The two were entangled passionately like glue... Until they were exhausted again, collapsing weakly on the bed.

When Qiao Junlie caressed her shoulder again, unsurprisingly, she pushed his hand away.

"Qiao Junlie, have you had enough! You’re always like this..." Zi Ruoxi’s face flushed with anger, her voice full of reproach and complaint, "Who can endure you!"

Ugh. Here, a mischievous smile hung on his handsome face.

"Alright, Fox Immortal, next time I’ll be gentler." Qiao Junlie coaxed, smoothing her short hair with one hand, ruffling it into a mess as if this masterpiece was something admirable.

"Immortal? I’m getting tormented to death," Zi Ruoxi grumbled. Her face displayed the afterglow of moisture retreating, smoother and clearer like egg white, translucent and hydrated. It seemed this method of beauty preservation truly worked, her originally flawless Qing Chen face gained some sweetness. Zi Ruoxi suddenly remembered something, and reproached, "Besides, you’ve been saying this for a month, haven’t you?"

"Oh." Qiao Junlie replied, seemingly guilty. But he cleverly adopted a repentant expression immediately. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow, a blue flash in his eyes, slyly saying, "Ruoxi, who can blame you for being so adorable, making it hard for me not to love you..."

Speechless!

Unsurprisingly, a soft punch landed on his chest, "Oh, it’s murder by spouse!" Qiao Junlie exclaimed, showing a twisted, exaggerated expression on his face.

As a result. Her face puffed with anger.
