"Here's a tissue for you!"
"Thank you!"
Tan Yanli reached out to take the tissue and looked up to realize that the person in front of her was Deng Zhiyi. She gave an embarrassed smile and used the tissue to wipe away her tears.
"Hi, what a coincidence!"
There was a hint of awkwardness in her expression. How could she be moved to tears by someone else's confession?
Deng Zhiyi chuckled, nodding as he said, "Yeah, I just happened to be out for a walk and saw you, so I came over!"
He didn't tell her that his first instinct upon seeing her was to turn around and leave. But when he saw she was alone, he gave up the idea of leaving and silently followed her from a distance until she stopped at this spot, and then he stopped not far from her, watching.
Ever since her wedding, he had been avoiding her. After their chance encounter in the restaurant that day, he also kept his distance, although he really wanted to go over and chat with her for a bit.
