Chapter 518: Chapter 481: Before the Finale of Jun and You—No Longer Missing You 1

The emotions within surged like tides.

In the days to come, whenever Jian Liangtong felt disheartened about their relationship, as long as she thought of the room full of photographs he took of her, she’d reignite her confidence like a resilient warrior time and again.

Many years later, Jian Liangtong pondered that if she hadn’t been so captivated by those photos back then, she might not have persevered so determinedly. She wouldn’t have let herself endure so much, trying every means to stay by his side, even if it meant falling into the dust before him.

She was embraced from behind.

Warmth like sunlight enveloped her, and Jian Liangtong’s fingertips trembled lightly on the photos, tears still falling uncontrollably.

The scorching liquid dripped onto Huo Shaojun’s hand.

Huo Shaojun gently frowned, reached forward to grasp her trembling shoulder, and turned her to face him. His eyes, full of affection, gazed at her swollen eyes and he sighed softly, "If I had known it would make you cry this long, I wouldn’t have told you."

Jian Liangtong sobbed softly, resting her face against his chest, her voice nasal, "You’re so annoying."

"Hmm." Huo Shaojun’s eyes flickered gently, responding quietly.

"..."

Jian Liangtong pinched his waist, "You’re too bad."

Huo Shaojun usually showed little emotion towards her, not because he was unkind, but it made Jian Liangtong feel he was too indifferent; even romance with him was unremarkable.

Yet whenever he put in some effort, he always managed to surprise her immensely.

How should one describe it?

Being with him was like riding a rollercoaster, suddenly encountering a sharp turn.

Why call such a person bad?

Because the surprises he gave were enough to offset all his character flaws.

Making it impossible for one to want to leave him!

Or rather, impossible to leave him!

"Yes, I’m bad." Huo Shaojun was utterly disarmed by Jian Liangtong’s endless tears, so he accepted all her "accusations" without complaint.

Perhaps it’s because Huo Shaojun’s "apology" was sincere.

Jian Liangtong nestled against his chest, sobbing for a while before stopping, then turned to continue looking at the photos.

Seeing she had stopped crying, Huo Shaojun accompanied her, looking at them together.

Every photo she picked up, he softly explained when and where it was taken.

He could almost identify the time and place of each photo Jian Liangtong held in her hand.

Jian Liangtong was on the brink of tears again.

Finally, they emerged from the room four hours after they had entered.

In the living room downstairs.

Jian Liangtong lay in Huo Shaojun’s arms, her eyes swollen like bubbles, playing with his fingers languidly.

Not that she wanted to be languid, but she was exhausted from crying so much.

Huo Shaojun’s chin rested on her hair, occasionally kissing her strands, his demeanor relaxed.

"Little brother." Jian Liangtong suddenly called him.

"Hmm?" Huo Shaojun lowered his eyes to look at her, his gaze gentle.

Jian Liangtong didn’t lift her head, her voice scratchy, "Do you love me?"

"..." Huo Shaojun’s cold eyes suddenly froze, a suspicious blush quickly crossing his handsome face, he pursed his lips and looked at Jian Liangtong without speaking.

Without hearing his answer.

Jian Liangtong lifted her eyes to look at him, and her gaze couldn’t have been more pitiful.

Huo Shaojun’s heart ached and he said, "I love you very, very much."

Jian Liangtong continued to look at him. After a while, she suddenly lowered her eyes and muttered something softly.

Huo Shaojun didn’t hear clearly, lifting her chin, staring into her eyes, he asked, "What?"

Jian Liangtong’s face was red, her clear eyes slightly evading his, she shook her head, "I didn’t say anything."

"You did." Huo Shaojun frowned, his tone certain.

"... How could I not know if I spoke? You heard wrong." Jian Liangtong stubbornly refused to admit she had spoken.

The more she denied, the more Huo Shaojun wanted to know. He frowned, staring intently at her.

Jian Liangtong was frustrated, enduring it for a while, until she couldn’t anymore, awkwardly moving her lips, "You definitely don’t love me as much as I love you."

Huo Shaojun’s cold eyes suddenly constricted, his handsome face instantly tense, "What did you say? I didn’t hear clearly."

Jian Liangtong shook her head, slowly lowering her eyes.

But her delicate earlobes and neck quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huo Shaojun took a couple of deep breaths, suddenly lowered his head, his burning lips close to Jian Liangtong’s already flushed ear, huskily saying, "Good Tongtong, say it once more for brother, will you?"

He had never coaxed her like this.

Jian Liangtong was thoroughly numbed, becoming soft and weak in his embrace.

She shyly fluttered her eyelashes, quickly glancing at him before swiftly lowering her gaze, saying, "I love you, more than you love me."

Huo Shaojun heard her clearly.

She said she loves him, more than he loves her...

A passionate kiss concluded.

Jian Liangtong’s dress had already been pushed up past her chest.

As she breathed in fresh air, Jian Liangtong buried her face into Huo Shaojun’s chest.

Huo Shaojun chuckled hoarsely, kissing her ear.

"Stop it!" Jian Liangtong sneakily glared at him, her face a deep red.

Huo Shaojun rubbed her head, pulling her dress back down for her.

Jian Liangtong sighed in her heart, her lips parted as she breathed lightly.

"Tongtong, there’s something I’m curious about," Huo Shaojun said.

Jian Liangtong turned her face halfway, looking at Huo Shaojun with one eye and took a deep breath, "What?"

"Hmm."

Huo Shaojun pondered slightly, his cold eyes teasingly fixed on her, "When did you start falling in love with me?"

"..." Jian Liangtong’s face turned so red it was almost purple.

"Could it be when we first met at five years old, you already..." Huo Shaojun purposely dragged out the last word to tease her.

"What are you thinking? You said I was only five then, what does a five-year-old kid know?" Jian Liangtong retorted, stiffening her neck.

Huo Shaojun raised an eyebrow, "If not, then why so excited?"

"... I am not excited. Quit talking nonsense!" Jian Liangtong’s eyes kept darting as she spoke.

Huo Shaojun couldn’t help but laugh, finding Jian Liangtong really adorable.

Jian Liangtong pressed her lips together, glancing at him once, then a second time.

Finally unable to resist, she pounced on him, her hands covering his eyes and mouth, "Stop laughing, you’re annoying, right?"

"Heh... Haha..."

At first, Huo Shaojun just chuckled lightly, but then he burst out in hearty laughter.

Soon, the vast living room was filled only with the man’s cheerful, resonant laughter.

During the following period, Jian Liangtong felt overwhelmed by happiness, disoriented.

Huo Shaojun pampered and cared for her to the utmost, fulfilling her every request, giving her whatever she wanted without hesitation.

As if even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would find a way to bring them down for her.

The little woman soaked in the sweetness of love every day had indeed gained a bit of weight.

One day, when Jian Liangtong returned home, He Xinyun was startled as soon as she walked in.

Because Jian Liangtong had always been skinny since childhood, like a bamboo stick.

This time, the returning Jian Liangtong was probably the plumpest that He Xinyun had ever seen.

He Xinyun was first surprised, then delighted, but somehow turned into shock upon realizing something.

Grabbing Jian Liangtong with worry, she asked urgently, "Tongtong, is your health okay? Have you felt uncomfortable anywhere recently?"

"... No, I’m fine."

Jian Liangtong picked up an apple from the plate and started munching, finishing it in no time and then moved on to a pear, which also disappeared quickly.

Seeing Jian Liangtong reaching out to grab the grapes from the plate, He Xinyun furrowed her brow, visibly worried, "Tongtong, did you not eat lunch?"

Jian Liangtong glanced at her, "I did eat, a lot actually, I’ve had a good appetite lately."

After saying the last part, Jian Liangtong paused, smiled at He Xinyun, and shifted her gaze away.

He Xinyun looked at Jian Liangtong with a furrowed brow, suddenly falling silent.

Jian Liangtong’s grape-eating slowed down, and the last grape lingered in her mouth, unable to swallow.

For nothing else, just guilt.

Her mother was watching her now, had she noticed something?

Jian Liangtong took a sharp breath, sitting on the couch somewhat wooden.

"Tongtong."

"Hmm?" Jian Liangtong’s back trembled as she stared nervously at He Xinyun.

He Xinyun frowned, suggesting, "Why don’t I take you to the hospital tomorrow to check?"

"..." Jian Liangtong sighed inwardly.

Her wise and intelligent mother indeed noticed something!

"Does that sound good?" He Xinyun sought her opinion.

Jian Liangtong blinked, gathering her breath to say, "Tomorrow I’m going with Huo Shaojun to City C for an appointment."

"Is that so." He Xinyun lowered her head to think for a moment and then said to Jian Liangtong, "Then I’ll take you after you return from City C."

"... Oh."

Initially, she only mentioned going to City C for the sake of placating her mother, but unexpectedly Huo Shaojun did actually need to go to City C the next day, so Jian Liangtong pleaded with him to take her along.

They had just arrived the previous day when Jian Liangtong remembered that the next day was Jin Jumo’s grandfather’s heart surgery.

So the next day Jian Liangtong and Huo Shaojun hurried back.

Fortunately, the surgery was successful, and after having dinner with Jin Jumo and Rong Mochen, the two returned to the villa to rest.

The next day, Huo Shaojun flew alone to City C.

Jian Liangtong had wanted to join him but Huo Shaojun firmly refused, so she had to let it go.

Huo Shaojun’s schedule in City C was about three days.

But during those three days, Huo Shaojun had already planned ahead for everything Jian Liangtong would eat.

Every day, meals were delivered to Jian Liangtong timely and punctually, and there was no repetition.

On this day, at noon, Jian Liangtong sat cross-legged on a chair in the restaurant, eating lunch while holding her phone and having a video call with Huo Shaojun far away in City C.

It couldn’t really be called a call; it was more like Jian Liangtong eating on this side, Huo Shaojun occupied with something on his end, and the two occasionally exchanging a few words, or Jian Liangtong watching Huo Shaojun in the video while eating, or Huo Shaojun looking at Jian Liangtong while busy.

Once Jian Liangtong had nearly finished her meal, they ended the call.

After each call, Jian Liangtong would hold her phone staring for a while, then send a message: I miss you.

Jian Liangtong didn’t know how many she sent, but she would send one every time they ended the call.

And Huo Shaojun would reply with a hug emoji, sometimes a heart.
