Chapter 350 - 349: The Final Farewell (1)
The setting sun cast its warm yellow rays at a slant, elongating the slender silhouette of Ling Chuxia as she stood at the school entrance.
Shi Che drove up slowly, and, upon reaching the side of the school entrance, stopped the car, turned off the engine, got out, and with long strides, walked toward her.
Ling Chuxia’s hands were clasped lightly across her chest as she stood there quietly, occasionally glancing around, seemingly scanning for the person she was waiting for.
As he watched her, his black eyes unwittingly grew hazy. She had stood waiting for him at the school gate like this before. She always had little patience, craning her neck left and right like a curious duckling.
The corners of Shi Che’s lips curved up into a smile, lighting up his handsome face with a brilliance that fused with the warm yellow sunlight and shone even more resolutely.
When Ling Chuxia looked up, she caught Shi Che’s smile. Her eyes briefly froze in astonishment, as if dizzied by the sight. How long had it been since she saw such a gentle and understated smile from Shi Che—a smile that could directly warm one’s heart? Thus, she found herself staring at Shi Che, transfixed, until she finally snapped back to reality, and with a gaze lowered, murmured softly, "You’re here."
Shi Che nodded, his gaze settling firmly on her face, "Yes, what made you suddenly want to come here?"
On the phone, when she mentioned wanting to visit the school, he was quite surprised. Since their marriage, except for one time when he thought she was at school and had come by, she had never returned. And yet, she had asked him to accompany her to the school.
