In just that short while, Tang Enqi and Gao Yuming had already disappeared from sight.
Xu Xiaojia looked over, then revealed a panicked expression.
"Crap, crap, they're gone."
Xu Xiaojia strode forward, only to find no trace of Tang Enqi in any direction.
"Isn't this just great?"
Xu Xiaojia turned in a circle and realized she had lost them.
"Xiaojia, don't worry. There are so many people here. Tang Enqi won't get bullied."
Hearing that, Xu Xiaojia gave it some serious thought, and the concerns in her heart vanished. She smiled and said, "That makes sense. Then I'm relieved."
"Mm." Li Haoyang nodded.
It was past eleven at night. Normally, most people would already have been asleep by this hour, but since it was New Year's Eve, East Lake Commercial Street was packed with people.
After leaving the mall, people lined both sides of the street, waiting for the moment the new year arrived.
Li Haoyang walked beside Xu Xiaojia and asked, "Are we waiting until they're done with their date?"
"What else? Are we supposed to go back first?"
Xu Xiaojia answered casually, her gaze wandering east and west, though no one knew what she was looking at.
Li Haoyang had looked like he had something on his mind the entire time, as though he had a lot to say.
When a man had something on his mind, he usually couldn't keep up with a girl's pace. He could only follow behind her, watching her back while frowning deeply.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xu Xiaojia knew Li Haoyang fairly well. Seeing him like this, she turned around and asked in confusion.
Looking at Xu Xiaojia like this, Li Haoyang suddenly realized something.
She...
She had always been the same. She had never changed—carefree, innocent, and free-spirited.
