Chapter 214 The Journey Ends

Bian Yue counted the items with satisfaction, picked up the red plastic hard lighter, and suddenly thought of something, and asked in surprise: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, where did this lighter come from?"

Her eyes were full of curiosity. Shen Jinci lightly scratched her nose, his voice lazy and his smile light, "Want to know?"

"I do." Bian Yue pushed Shen Jinci's arm, and said with a long ending, urging, "Why are you keeping me in suspense? Tell me now."

"I'm not keeping you in suspense. It's just that for a moment, I didn't know what to say." Shen Jinci held Bian Yue in his arms. He kissed her hair and said slowly, "Even if I tell you, you won't believe it."

"Go ahead." Bian Yue wasn't a very curious person, but every time her curiosity was aroused, she would scratch her head and say anxiously, "You tell me first, and then I'll tell you whether I believe it or not."

“That was the time.”

Shen Jinci's voice sounded slowly and easily brought Bian Yue's thoughts back to Hong Kong long ago.

It was the humid rainy season, and the 23-year-old Shen Jinci had just taken over the complicated internal affairs of the Lixing Group. He was busy every day, and at such a young age he made all the elders of the Shen family obey him.

There was an emergency meeting that day, so Shen Jinci hurried to the airport and met Bian Yue.

Hong Kong International Airport is crowded with people.

Shen Jinci saw Bian Yue standing at the security check, took out a lighter from his pocket and put it into the recycling bin.

For some unknown reason, he had someone take the lighter away from him.

"Mr. Shen, this..." Kang Yu was obviously puzzled. He looked at Shen Jinci hesitantly, his eyes blank. "You want me to take this?"

Shen Jinci just said calmly: "Well, I'm craving for cigarettes."

When Bian Yue heard this, she looked at Shen Jinci expectantly and urged, "Is that it? Then what? What happened next?"

"Nothing." Shen Jinci pulled the quilt over Bian Yue's shoulders and patted her head gently. "Okay, don't you have a lot of things to do tomorrow? Go to sleep."

"But why do I feel like you only told half of your story?" Bian Yue blinked and said, "Why did you keep it for so many years? You couldn't have liked me at that time, right?"

Shen Jinci smiled helplessly, his voice still soft, and he said slowly: "Okay, just think that I liked you at that time."

"What do you mean by 'pawn'?" Bian Yue was extremely dissatisfied. She snorted and said childishly, "Forget it if you don't tell me. I can check it myself and find it out anyway!"

The smile on Shen Jinci's lips faded a little. He paused and said, "Wait a while, when we are done with our work, I will tell you everything, okay?"

The word 'all' was emphasized, and Bian Yue's expression eased a little.

"Really? Tell me everything?"

"Well, I'll tell you everything." He promised.

Only then did Bian Yue fall asleep contentedly.

Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue's sleeping face for a long time, with a variety of emotions in his mind.

What she didn't tell Bian Yue was that after he got the lighter that Bian Yue had thrown away, he canceled his first-class ticket and booked the same economy class ticket as Bian Yue.

In the busy terminal hall, Bian Yue sat opposite him with her cell phone in her hand, and did not notice his peeping.

He was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, and his figure was cold and sharp. He had not yet acquired the indifference and dignity that he would later have, and his sharp and violent aura had not yet dissipated.

He sat there, clearly not showing his face, which made people afraid to approach him. No one even dared to sit down to his left or right.

At that time, Bian Yue was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was invincible in her youth and very beautiful.

He sat in front of her, watching her lower her head, concentrating on messaging someone unknown.

After sending the message, Bian Yue looked disappointed. Then, probably because her friend called her, she said in front of her in a gloomy tone, "Si Heng has something to do. He is very busy. I am going out alone. Jiaojiao, should I not disturb him?"

At that time, Shen Jinci didn't understand what disturbing meant.

He had never experienced the feeling of being cared for and concerned about.

No one cares about his life, let alone disturb him.

On the other side, Wen Jiao probably comforted Bian Yue a few words. The little girl was really easy to coax. She immediately smiled and said, "Yeah! You're right! He has to take care of me and is busy with Feng Cheng's affairs. I should be considerate of him. Jiaojiao, you don't know, I really like him."

Shen Jinci couldn't help but look at Bian Yue a few more times.

She is innocent, has a youthful smile and is spotless.

She seemed to have never experienced the hardships of life, so her eyes and eyebrows were filled with carefree smiles.

There is no such person in Shen Jinci's life dictionary.

He and the dead man have the most similar blood in the world, and he understands the source of Bian Yue's attraction to that man.

It was a kind of unbridled love that had not been allowed for either of them since they were born.

Shen Jinci looked at her, his eyes becoming straightforward and dim without her knowing it.

On the other side, Bian Yue hung up the phone, took out a diary and began to write something seriously.

She was so focused that she didn't notice her own gaze from beginning to end.

He was like a person who had been trudging in darkness for a long time and finally saw a glimpse of the light. It was as if he had encountered the most dazzling sunlight in his life, and he looked at it with guilt and greed.

This is not his happiness.

On the floor-to-ceiling windows of the airport, water droplets are connected in series, extending into long, thin rivers.

It was not until the reminder to board the plane sounded that Bian Yue put away her diary, smiled calmly, and ran to queue up.

Shen Jinci still remembers the flight number and destination of this plane.

——That is western Sichuan on the mainland.

His seat was right next to Bian Yue, but he was wearing a mask, and from beginning to end, he seemed like an irrelevant stranger.

Bian Yue was looking at the scenery outside the window. The only time she spoke to him was when the flight attendant handed out lunch boxes. The little girl stared at him with her round almond eyes and said, "Do you need bean paste? I brought a can."

He said no, and Bian Yue nodded and didn't speak to him again.

The ride was bumpy and in the small cabin, even stretching your legs was a luxury.

But Shen Jinci didn't feel tired at all. He just thought with regret that this journey might be over soon.

The plane stopped at the airport in western Sichuan. He took down Bian Yue's luggage and wished her a safe journey.

Bian Yue had a look of surprise on her face. Then, she smiled at him and said, "Thank you! I hope you have fun too."

Bian Yue didn't know that her journey had indeed just begun, but her own journey had already ended.

He came all this way just for her.
And today, Shen Jinci looked at Bian Yue who was sleeping peacefully beside him, and a myriad of tender feelings surged in his heart.

He gently caressed her face, his gesture was one of cherishment.
