CHAPTER 544: 544: SOAKED THROUGH

Gu Tong’s fair little hand rested on Li Yan’s large palm.

She leaped up and got into the car directly.

In her other hand, she held a brown umbrella, with rainwater still dripping from it...

"Look at you, walking so quickly... you’re soaked through..."

Gu Tong said a little playfully.

She hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her pocket and began to wipe Li Yan’s body.

Today, as they had planned yesterday, they went out to buy things before dawn.

They were fast-paced, and after a morning’s effort, they returned with plenty.

However...

It’s obvious that this isn’t the main point...

What Gu Tong wanted to complain about was Li Yan’s unknown domineering side.

For things with even a bit of weight, he absolutely wouldn’t let Gu Tong touch them.

And throughout the journey, even though Gu Tong discussed it, he was indifferent.

Until finally, when Gu Tong insisted.

Only then did Li Yan, symbolically, hand her a bag with just three apricots in it...

Gu Tong’s lips twitched, but she was helpless.

...

The sky was just like a child’s face, raining as it pleased...

At the time, just as they left the market, they were caught in a downpour.

Li Yan decided on the spot, found a vendor, and bought an umbrella.

Then, holding the umbrella, he walked back with her...

But...

The way he held the umbrella was quite special, giving her more than half of it...

The remaining half of his body was exposed, getting completely soaked by the rain...

"It’s nothing."

Li Yan frowned slightly but didn’t seem to mind.

He is a special trainee, not afraid of the rain of bullets and fire...

Could he be scared of rainwater...

"You really are..."

Gu Tong knew what he was thinking and couldn’t help but pout.

"Come on, let’s go in and sit."

Li Yan held Gu Tong’s hand and walked down the corridor of the car to find a seat.

Everywhere they passed, familiar faces greeted them.

They all nervously called out, "Hello, Earl!"

In fact, it’s understandable that they reacted this way.

In the past, whenever they saw Li Yan, it was either during training or on a mission.

So, when facing Li Yan, there was a subconscious fear...

This developed over time...

"Hmm."

Li Yan calmly responded as a greeting.

He then led Gu Tong to find a seat.

It was a double seat.

"Inside or outside?" Li Yan asked.

"Inside," Gu Tong replied.

With nimble movements, she slipped into the inside seat.

Their interaction remained normal.

They didn’t overly consider others’ opinions, nor did they feel the slightest awkwardness.

Life isn’t a play.

If one constantly worries about others’ opinions, that’s truly foolish; no one lives just to be seen by others, that’s too unreal.

However...

This natural intimacy...

Is enough to blind others...

Especially when they appeared hand in hand in the car, they had already captured everyone’s attention.

In fact, it’s not really others’ business.

It’s just that their affairs had recently caused a stir...

Even those who didn’t care about such things heard the rumors.

Now, with both parties appearing before them, how could they not take a few more glances...

You should know, seeing them appear together in the same scene is a rare occurrence...

Seeing these actions, they couldn’t help but admit...

Gu Tong and Li Yan are just perfectly matched...

A perfect couple, a pair of beauties...
