He saw Shi Che and Ling Chuxia.
Their car was parked by the roadside, with Shi Che sitting in the driver's seat and Ling Chuxia in the passenger seat. They seemed to be talking about something, Ling Chuxia's eyes curved with joy, radiating happiness.
Even from a distance, he could feel the glow of happiness emanating from her whole being.
He saw Shi Che kiss Ling Chuxia, and then... Ling Chuxia leaned in to return the kiss, so naturally, so happily.
Since he had met Ling Chuxia again, she had smiled in front of him, but her smiles were always restrained, shallow, as if through a veil, unlike the unrestrained and indulgent ones she now displayed.
What kind of people we are with determines what kind of smiles we wear.
Bai Yixuan's heart, which had been in turmoil for a week, found a sad sense of settling in that moment. And though it was sad, he also felt fortunate. Fortunate that his Xiaxia was finally able to smile like the sun again, even if it wasn't for him.
