. 。During that time, He Hanchuan's eyes never left her. From her eyes to her lips, the graceful line of her neck, and then from her neck back to her lips and eyes, he repeated this gaze over and over..."Good."

Ye Zehan agreed very readily.

Since we've already come this far, and can't just stand here all day, it wouldn't hurt to take a look inside.

Thinking this through, he took a step and followed the footsteps of A-wan.

Quickly, they walked into the cave. It was pitch black inside, and a chill hung in the air.

As soon as A-Wei took her first step, she stepped on a stone and almost fell.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ye Zehan timely grabbed her wrist and supported her in his arms. His eyes looking at her were filled with a touch of concern, "How are you"

"It's alright, the path here is quite difficult." Xiang Wan gently reminded him.

Ye Zehan didn't say much. He took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight, and illuminated the path ahead. "Don't worry, let's walk slowly."

Soon, the road ahead was illuminated by lights, making it much easier to walk.

"Hold me tighter." Ye Zehan reached out his hand toward her.

Towards Evening hurriedly placed her hand in his palm, and with his support, took steps to follow him.

Ye Zehan pulled her tighter, continuing to walk forward with her, never letting go.

Soon, they continued to walk forward, toward the innermost part of the cave mouth.

After walking for what felt like an eternity, Xiang Wan suddenly stopped. She raised her hand and pointed to a stone tablet in the distance, excitedly saying, "I found it! Look, right here!"

As he listened to her words, Ye Zehan finally turned his gaze. When he saw the two names inscribed on the stone tablet, one called He Hanchuan and the other Xiang Wan,

Thinking of this, Ye Zehan's eyes flickered.

So, this is their secret base then

"That's great! I thought I wouldn't find it, but it turned out to be so easy!" Xiang Wan's lips curled into a smile as she spoke, then crouched down.

She pulled out a small trowel from her bag, took off the plastic bag on top, and began scooping the dirt out of the stones.

"What are you digging" Ye Zehan leaned into her ear, inquiring with concern, "Do you need me to help you"

"No!" Xiang Wan shook her head.

She dug for a while longer, and finally unearthed a small bottle from the soil.

"Amazing! I can't believe it's been so long, this little bottle is still here!" Xiang Wan exclaimed excitedly, she carefully brushed the dirt off the top of the bottle, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"What's this" Ye Zehan looked at the small bottle, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

向晚 excitedly held the small bottle above her head, "I remember when we were in school, our teacher organized a class trip to the countryside, but we got separated."

Because I accidentally fell into this air raid shelter, it's very dark here and I'm also very scared. So I tried to cry for help, but no one came. Later, you appeared.

To comfort me, you took out this little bottle from your schoolbag and pulled out a few pieces of paper. You told me that if I was scared, just write down what I wanted to say on these pieces of paper and we would come back and read them in ten years.

Now, it's precisely their tenth anniversary.

It has already been ten years, and I don't know when it started. Their fates became intertwined, and since then, they have never been apart.

Now, they have finally arrived at this day.

Ye Zehan held the small bottle, a look of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected them to have such a beautiful story.

Thus, he couldn't help but open the small bottle and pulled out the piece of paper inside. The handwriting was neat and tidy, clearly written by He Hanchuan himself.

When Ye Zehan finished reading the words above, his face suddenly changed!

Towards him, Yanan tiptoed closer, “What are you writing”

"What are you writing" Ye Zehan looked at her.

Only then did Xiang Wan slip the note into his hand, a slight upward curve to her lips. "Here, let's exchange them and have a look," she said.

Ye Zehan did not refuse.

"I love you, from the first time I saw you."

On the other hand, Xiangwan also opened the note, and on it, Hanchuan had written: I love you, when you don't know it.

Seeing this note, Xiang Wan covered her mouth and nose, trembling with excitement all over!

Unexpectedly, He Hanchuan actually got to this point.

It turns out this wasn't just her unrequited love, He Hanchuan had feelings for her a long time ago too, it's just... she didn't know.

Why doesn't he ever say anything

Ye Zehan saw that Xiang Wan looked like she was crying, so he hurriedly walked towards her, patted her shoulder gently with his hand, and softly reminded her, "Don't cry..."

Before the words could even leave her lips, Xiang Wan turned around and pulled him into her arms. She pressed her face against his chest and spoke from the depths of her heart, "Han Chuan, I missed you so much."

Ye Zehan's heart ached when he heard her words of reluctance, and for a moment, he forgot to push her away.

He held onto Xiang Wan quietly, without pushing her away.

Perhaps only in this moment, he could truly have Xiang Wan.

And after an unknown amount of time, Xiang Wan suddenly lifted her head to look at him, a hint of astonishment in her eyes. "Zehan, you haven't forgotten me, have you"

Hearing her words, Ye Zehan's heart skipped a beat.

But soon, he gritted his teeth and pushed against Xiangwan with all his might. "You're overthinking it, I just can't stand seeing someone weak crying in my arms."

>

"Xiāng Wǎn, you calm down a little."

"Have you cried yet Can we leave now" Ye Zehan reminded her in a low voice.

His tone was very cold, as if he felt it was a bother to speak even one more word to her.

A hurt flashed in Xiang Wan's eyes, her palm involuntarily clenching into a fist.

She tried to suppress the pain in her heart, but no matter what she did, she couldn't hold it back.

Those pains are like being pressed down on my chest, impossible to shake off.

"Since you don't want to leave, then I won't wait for you. I'm leaving." Ye Zehan's tone was cold. As he spoke, he started walking forward again.

While A-wan remained motionless, she stood rooted to the spot, silently gazing at Ye Zehan's retreating figure.

She was gambling.

Ye Zechan might be betting on her staying, wagering that he wouldn't abandon her alone.

Clearly… she had lost her bet.

Ye Zehan did not look back, walking with a carefree air. Soon, his figure disappeared.

Originally… he really won’t be coming back.

"Cough cough!" Xiang Wan coughed heavily.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit her head, and her body swayed helplessly before collapsing to the ground.uld he end up working for Late's companyGetting on the car to Hancheng, Menglan tiredly rested her head against the backrest.
