After separating from Zhang Lin, Li Xiaolu did not return immediately but instead walked along Victoria Harbour, enjoying the night view. It was still raining outside. However, this time she had an umbrella, so she didn't get wet.
She looked at the dazzling lights across Victoria Harbour, feeling a bit complicated. Suddenly, she realized that the black umbrella in her hand was the same one she had lent to Jijun when they first met. She remembered that moment at the airport when she bumped into Jijun and ended up losing her umbrella. She had felt quite sorry about it because it was new and had cost her several hundred dollars.
But she never expected that Jijun had picked up that umbrella and kept it all this time. So, the umbrella he used in China back then was indeed this one. She had always thought he had thrown it away, but he hadn’t. He had kept it as if to commemorate their first encounter.
Li Xiaolu's feelings were a mix of emotions. She hadn’t anticipated that Jijun would do something like this. She looked up at the lights across Victoria Harbour while the rain continued to fall. The surface of the water reflected a kaleidoscope of colors.
Suddenly, a song came to her mind: "I am strolling, walking alone in the drizzle..." She couldn't help but laugh. Her mood suddenly brightened. Holding the umbrella, she continued walking forward until she reached a square and found a bench to sit on.
Watching the rain outside, she felt very calm. She realized that it had been a long time since she had sat quietly like this, watching the rain. She remembered how, in the past, when she felt down, she would go outside alone to watch the rain. Just looking at it would gradually soothe her feelings. But now, it had been a long time since she had done that.
She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the rain outside, feeling herself relax gradually.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name.
"Lulu."
She opened her eyes and turned to look.
Jijun was standing behind her.
She was taken aback.
How did he get here?
Jijun walked in front of her, looking down at her.
His eyes were deep, like a pool of dark water.
Li Xiaolu looked into his eyes, feeling a bit complicated.
She lowered her gaze, "What are you doing here?"
Jijun whispered, "I came to find you."
Li Xiaolu paused for a moment, "Did you... need something from me?"
Jijun was silent for a moment before softly saying, "Lulu, I..."
Li Xiaolu looked up at him.
Jijun continued, "I'm sorry."
Li Xiaolu was stunned.
Jijun said, "I know it's too late for me to say anything now, but I still want to tell you that I really didn't mean any harm."
Li Xiaolu remained silent.
Jijun quietly said, "My relationship with Zhao Shu... is not what you think."
Li Xiaolu stared at him.
Jijun explained, "She is the child brought by my stepmother, and my relationship with her has always been bad.
"That day when I got home, I intended to talk to my dad about something, but he was with Zhao Shu, so I went upstairs first.
"Later, Zhao Shu came upstairs too; she started arguing with me at the staircase. I didn't want to deal with her and pushed past her.
"I didn't expect you to see that."
Li Xiaolu looked at him, "Why are you telling me this?"
Jijun was silent for a few seconds before saying softly, "Because I want you to know how I feel."
Li Xiaolu was taken aback.
Jijun looked at her, "Lulu, I really like you. I want to be with you, I..."
Li Xiaolu interrupted him, "You don't need to say that."
Jijun was stunned.
Li Xiaolu said, "You already have a girlfriend."
Jijun quickly explained, "She is not my girlfriend."
Li Xiaolu said, "But you have a good relationship with her."
Jijun shook his head, "She is the child brought by my stepmother. I have never had a good relationship with her."
Li Xiaolu asked, "Then why are you helping her?"
Jijun fell silent for a few seconds and quietly said, "Because I want to make my dad a little happier."
Li Xiaolu was taken aback.
Jijun sighed, "I know I'm foolish, but... I really love my dad. I don't want to make him sad."
Li Xiaolu remained silent.
Jijun looked at her, "Lulu, I know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance?"
Li Xiaolu was stunned.
Jijun said, "Please give me another chance to pursue you again, okay?"
Li Xiaolu looked at him, feeling very complicated.
She didn't expect Jijun to say these things to her.
She didn't expect Jijun to give up the principles he had held onto for so long for her.
She remembered their first meeting when Jijun had been so indifferent.
She recalled what Jijun had once told her, "We are not from the same world."
But now, he was willing to change his world for her.
Her heart felt as if it had been gently poked by something, aching faintly.
She lowered her head and looked at her hands.
Her hands were tightly gripping the umbrella.
She remembered the scene of their first meeting.
She recalled the moment she first lent him the umbrella and his heartfelt words: "Actually, I like you too."
She raised her head and looked at Jijun, smiling silently.
