Chapter 103: Whoever Can Resist Is Not a Man

blood drained away, leaving her pale and wan.He reminded her... of the freedom owed for a life taken... Ah Lu, Ah Lu, am I still unclear Am I right that I can never truly be free in this lifetime Can'...The sky was clear and the sun was quite harsh. Jian Tong tightened her jacket a little more. The tree-lined path was less crowded today, but whenever someone passed by her, they would stare at her with strange eyes.

"This person... doesn't seem to be quite right in the head, does he"

A young couple brushed past her, not forgetting to glance back at her with a curious look. Their hushed whispers, though not spoken directly to Jane, carried just loud enough for her to hear. They kept their voices low, but couldn't quite stifle the curiosity in their tones.

The hushed murmurs of discussion, behind her ears, had become a familiar sound. She was used to the looks of surprise that sometimes passed over the faces of those who occasionally walked by.

Looking up, she saw the sun high in the sky. She understood that her current attire must look terrifying to others.

While everyone else was dressed in short sleeves, shorts, and skirts, she was bundled up tightly, not revealing an inch of skin.

Glancing at her long-sleeved shirt, she had a moment of regret... She should have worn a thicker coat.

A dull ache in her bones, and beside her, a young couple on bicycles, sauntering past her.

The girl wore a white dress, and the boy wore a white shirt. The girl was lively and her cheerful chatter could be heard from afar:

"Come on, let's go. We'll head to the amusement park later. The weather is great today, it would be a shame to miss out."

"Alright, alright, I'll do what you say. Let's go to the amusement park."

"How about camping tonight I bought a tent."

As they were talking and chatting, the bicycle just went past Jian Tong.

"Hey! Wait a minute."

"What" The young couple was taken aback. The boy stopped, balancing on one foot, "You called us..." He looked up and down at Jian Tong, his expression doubtful. The boy was handsome with a delicate face. His light brown eyebrows furrowed. "Is something the matter" He looked at her suspiciously... Was this person crazy

Jane was stunned... She didn't want to call out to the young couple, but she couldn't help herself.

"You... are you okay" The girl in the backseat, with a cute bob haircut dyed auburn, tilted her head and reached out to wave her hand in front of Jian Tong's face.

Jian Tong was dumbfounded, "I..." What was I

Why suddenly call out to strangers

"You want to ask for directions, right No problem, ask away. My boyfriend is a walking encyclopedia, he knows every street in this area."

The girl's voice was full of youthful energy. Jian Tong hurriedly lowered his eyelids, blinked, and raised his hand as if casually wiping away the sourness from the corner of his eye before softly saying:

"I, I... It's going to rain today. I saw it on the weather forecast."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Her leg wasn't convenient, so her walk was a bit awkward, but from her steps, it was apparent that she was feeling somewhat uneasy and hurried.

The voices of the young couple beside my ear grew fainter and fainter.

"Huh The weather forecast said it would rain today, didn't it"

The little boy also looked puzzled: "Maybe...she got it wrong But she was really a kind person..."

The voice faded away, Jian Tong chuckled wryly... A good person

If they knew she had been to jail, I wonder if they would still claim to be good people

Walk forward aimlessly.

When he looked up again, Jian Tong was dumbfounded...

Under the banyan tree, a man in a white shirt and khaki casual pants came into view.

He stood under the shade of a tree, hands in his pockets, grinning mischievously at himself, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. As a result, even the air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles...

In a daze, she seemed to see the summer of that year.

Under the shade of a banyan tree even larger than that one, stood a young man in a white shirt, khaki pants, and white sneakers. He impatiently urged her on as she rushed over to him.

"So slow, girls are always such a hassle. Hurry up, or I'm leaving."

He kept saying he was leaving, yet he remained under the banyan tree, waiting quietly for her.

When did that happen

Oh… junior high that year…

When did their relationship become so strained, so unmendable, so distant and strange

Actually, I can't remember...

"Shen…" she gazed at him with a dazed expression, her mouth parting as if to call out to the man in the shade.

Suddenly, the man under the shade of the tree, with a clear and bright voice, called out to her cheerfully: "Jian Tong, I knew it, I would be able to wait for you here."

At the sound of that light call, Jian Tong jolted, her mind coming back to her. She looked towards the man under the banyan tree, his fingers tucked into his pockets. A wry smile crept onto her lips...

It's not that man...

Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you.

She gently called out to the man under the tree, greeting him politely.

Xiao Heng grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and tilted his head to say to her, "Come here, you're so far away, what are you doing Come here."

He waved at her again.

Jian Tong walked forward slowly: "Mr. Xiao, were you waiting for me"

If she wasn't hearing things, he had just said that.

"Yeah, I'll wait for you." Xiao Heng said cheerfully. "Jian Tong, you haven't answered me yet, will you be my girlfriend"

Jian Tong was stunned.

A few days ago, I went to Milan for a project that needed to be expedited. I took this morning's flight and as soon as I arrived in S city, I came here. I knew I could run into you here.

Jane, will you be my girlfriend

Jian Tong's heart skipped a beat. Raising her head, she met a pair of dazzling eyes. These eyes were completely different from the man's. She was always a step behind, staring blankly at the handsome face inches away from hers.

My mind is a little scrambled, to use today's popular slang, it's crashed.

Stared blankly at that face.

"Hey, if you keep staring at me like that, I won't be polite."

Xiao Heng's smiling voice suddenly rang in her ear.

Jian Tong was stunned, she lifted her head in a daze, blinking: "What"

Seeing her like this, Xiao Heng couldn't help but smile: "That's it." As soon as the words left his mouth, a black shadow pressed down. Jian Tong only felt a warm flash on her lips and then it was gone.

"Don't blame me, you're the one who keeps staring at me. Who could stand it, who isn't a man."

Xiao Heng said, his eyes instantly lit up, staring at Jian Tong: "Your ears are red."

He didn't say anything good, and when he did speak, Jian Tong's ears turned even redder, as if they could bleed.

"Jian Tong," Xiao Heng suddenly reached out, taking Jian Tong's hands in his own large palms, holding them against his chest. "Let's date."

He had been in Milan for so long, and he had thought about all sorts of things. In the end, he was very sure that he wanted this woman. For no reason at all, the way her ears turned red made his heart skip a beat.

He was completely captivated by the delectable flavors tantalizing his lips.

Lust and appetite are natural, who says one must fall in love with a woman's looks

Every time he teased her, it brought him immense joy and pleasure.

"Jian Tong, let's date," he said. "I'll take care of you."ked down on beggars on the street with disdain.She now, so much like those women who once despised poverty and loved wealth!Xiao Heng was taken aback by this sudden scene, but the next moment he saw h...
