Capítulo 951: Chapter 951: He Finally Became a Man
There was only an hour left until her birthday ended.
Xia Nuo walked down the street wrapped in thick fur, feeling unbearably empty inside.
The street she rented was very quiet, with good greenery and security. There were no other pedestrians; she only heard the clicking sound of her boot heels on the road.
Click, click—
A sudden footstep echoed ahead.
A tall figure cast a shadow at her feet; Xia Nuo stopped in her tracks, a little afraid to look up.
The other person stood a few steps away, not moving either.
She stared hard at the shadow on the ground, mustering a lot of strength to finally look up.
They say time is a butcher’s knife, but Xia Nuo felt time was a sculptor’s tool.
The boy she hadn’t seen in years was now a head taller than her, with features growing more mature and profound, a strong and perfect physique, even more lethally attractive than before.
Today she turned 23, and he had turned eighteen.
But he didn’t look like an eighteen-year-old boy at all. Anyone unfamiliar with him would have thought he was twenty-five or twenty-six.
Was he really Leng Yan? How did he change so much in just a few years, while she had hardly changed at all?
Leng Yan’s deep eyes fixed on her, also studying her.
Xia Nuo had applied some light makeup, making her look even prettier. She hadn’t grown much taller, and was still as thin as before.
The only change was the way she looked at him.
She no longer viewed him with the eyes of a child; she looked at him with the eyes of a woman.
Great, in her eyes, he had finally become a man and was no longer a boy.
This change pleased him greatly; it was worth the effort he had put into improving himself over the years.
But did this woman, who ran away for years, not feel any excitement upon seeing him?!
Of course, Xia Nuo was very emotional; her heart was already in turmoil. However, she had mentally prepared beforehand, so she could maintain her composure when facing him again.
What should she say when meeting an old acquaintance?
Should it be ‘Hi, what a coincidence, are you alone?’ or ‘Why are you here, did you come here specifically to find me?’.
Neither seemed right, so she decided to wait for him to speak first.
Leng Yan pressed his lips tightly, determined not to speak first. He had been looking for her for four years, while she had been living carefree in this place. He wouldn’t be the one to break the silence!
If she realized her mistake, she’d better explain it right away; otherwise, he wouldn’t forgive her!
Xia Nuo didn’t know what he was thinking, and he didn’t know what was on her mind.
The two of them stayed like that, locked in a stalemate, in the cold air for half an hour.
What an unreasonable woman, not offering any explanation!
Leng Yan pursed his lips and stiffly said, “I’m cold.”
“Huh?” Xia Nuo thought he would definitely ask why she hadn’t contacted him all these years, or why she left without a word back then.
She didn’t expect his first words to be that he was cold.
Seeing her dumbfounded look, Leng Yan said harshly, “I’ve been standing here for hours. I said I’m cold!”
“Oh.” Xia Nuo quickly nodded, walked briskly over, and motioned for him to follow.
She walked fast, unsure if it was because she feared he’d catch a cold or because she didn’t want him to see the mist in her eyes.
He had been waiting here for hours, meaning he had arrived long ago, right?
