When the words left his mouth, it felt as though an invisible hand was clutching at his heart, tightening its grip incessantly.
Shen Di moved her lips, but didn't speak, her gaze veiled with a misty and bewildered hue.
Wen Zhiyuan eventually left, his figure slowly vanishing under the sunlight.
It took a long while before Shen Di slowly turned her head, staring in the direction where Wen Zhiyuan had disappeared, somewhat dazed...
About a quarter of an hour later, Qin Chen and Zhou Ran came back.
Qin Chen had bought many of Shen Di's favorite foods, and Zhou Ran said with a smile, "Qin Chen said you like candies and such, I told him not to buy them, but he insisted on doing so."
"Mom, I'm not a child anymore, eating too many sweets won't cause cavities," Shen Di said with a laugh.
She thought about it; when had she developed a habit of eating sweets... probably when Wen Zhiyuan was still around her.
