Nightfall arrived, and after having dinner at Mrs. Huo's residence, Lin Banxia walked back to the villa alone.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows beside her, blocking her path.
As soon as Lin Banxia saw him, she knew who he was. She stared at him warily, "Huo Qinglin, what do you want now?"
Under the streetlight, Huo Qinglin gazed at her luminous, delicate face, and felt an overwhelming urge to step forward and kiss her.
"Banxia, I love you... I really love you!" Huo Qinglin, drunk at the time, saw Lin Banxia as breathtakingly beautiful. He couldn't resist the impulse to hold her tightly and kiss her fervently.
Lin Banxia quickly stepped back several paces, anxiously looking around, then snapped angrily, "Huo Qinglin, are you out of your mind?"
"I *am* out of my mind, Lin Banxia. I can't forget you, and it's tormenting me!" Huo Qinglin hastily moved several steps forward, his arms almost grabbing her shoulders. Lin Banxia ran away in panic.
