She could feel the man's body freeze, and his arms around her tightened as he pulled her into his embrace with all his might.
She wanted to struggle out of his embrace, but before she could do so, he lowered his head to bury his face in her neck. He chuckled softly and used his head to rub against hers. Then, he chuckled softly like he had just encountered something worth being happy about.
Song Qingchun's movement stopped. She was stunned for a few seconds before turning to look at Su Zhinian.
The man's head rested on her shoulder. His long lashes were closed, and his brows were relaxed. His pale lips parted to reveal a row of pearly white teeth.
His smile was like the sun on a hot summer's day, exceptionally bright.
Compared to his usual self, he was like a completely different person. His entire body was glowing with a gentle light, making people feel warm and approachable. It was not like before, when he was clearly in front of them, but felt that he was far away and unreachable.
Song Qingchun was momentarily dazed.
However, as he continued to smile, the corners of his lips slowly disappeared. "I wish I could hug you like this for the rest of my life … but I know you don't want to. In fact, you hate me from the bottom of your heart, and you wish you could get as far away from me as possible, right?
"I've searched for you for so many years, how come you can't remember me anymore?"
His expression seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog at that moment. He pulled his arms away from her and didn't say anything else. Instead, he deepened the hug soundlessly.
This hug was similar to the look in his eyes when he told her, "I won't touch you anymore" that night. It caused an indescribable panic in her heart.
Song Qingchun had no idea what he was talking about. She saw his eyes were closed, and she thought he was babbling nonsense because he was having a fever. However, from his expression and his words, she had a feeling he was talking to her, but he had made her forget about him, so it did not sound like she was the one who was talking to him.
The room was quiet, with only the echoes of the two people's breathing.
After who knew how long, he said softly, "… But it doesn't matter. It's good enough that I was able to hug you like this just once."
Then, he slowly let go of Song Qingchun's arm and reached out to grab her arm that was wrapped around his waist and slowly moved it away from his body.
He really wanted to hold her like this until the end of time, but even in his dreams when he was seriously ill, he still didn't dare to hold her for too long.
He moved her arms back to her side and moved to the other side of the bed to put some distance between them. Then, he thanked her. "Thank you …"
The corners of his lips curled up into a very gentle arc. His smile was very sincere. The short hug just now seemed to have given him the whole world. He was incomparably satisfied and content.
His smile looked like it came from the bottom of his heart, but for some reason, Song Qingchun felt like there was an endless sadness hidden behind that smile, and it made her heart ache.
She hated him the most and was most afraid of him getting close to her. She should have turned to run away from his bedroom after he let go of her, but just like before, she fell back into his embrace.
