The morning in Mingzhu City was refreshingly pleasant!

At Mingzhu City International Airport, a plane was landing slowly at this moment.

A dense crowd of passengers slowly disembarked from within the plane, and from the high-level VIP passage, a graceful figure walked out slowly.

This graceful figure was a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a deep blue pleated long dress on her upper body and black stockings on her slender, rounded legs—a figure both slender and tall.

Moreover, this girl seemed to possess a unique temperament that made people take one look at her and sense her outstanding nature—as if her elegance and tranquility were that of an Immortal descending from a painting!

It was strange, however, that such an elegant girl was wearing a pair of strikingly uncoordinated travel shoes on her feet.

The shoes had been scrubbed white, and their outdated style was clearly popular two or three years ago but were now out of fashion!

Several burly men followed behind the girl, their gazes as sharp as eagles, their temples prominently bulging, their hands rough with calluses, each of them exuding an extraordinary temperament.

The girl with the outstanding temperament wore a large pair of sunglasses, almost half-covering her face, but the skin that was exposed was white like snow, and even just a glimpse of her true appearance was breathtakingly beautiful.

At this moment, the girl stood quietly in the warm sunshine, letting the golden light fall upon her, making her seem like a sun goddess, drawing the attention of all those around her.

She appeared to have long been accustomed to the unusual gazes of the crowd, and her expression remained composed and serene.

Her head tilted slightly down, she looked at the worn travel shoes on her feet and at the undone shoelaces, a trace of dimness crossing her pretty face:

"This is the nine hundred and ninetieth time I've tied my shoelaces myself! Where are you? It's been three years; are you still fine..."

A touch of sadness now appeared on the girl's pretty face, that memory of him, that ever-persisting memory of him—where was he...

Where exactly...

Memories flashed like smoke, and the scenes from three years ago remained vivid in her mind!

It was the most thrilling three months of the girl's life but also the sweetest three months!

The simple boy from the countryside had brought her three months of sweetness and left her with three years of sorrow...

She still remembered that during those three months, he would tie her shoelaces every day.

"Your shoelace is untied, just like your heart is open! Let me tie it for you..."

This phrase was that simple boy's favorite.

Only he did not realize that he was not only tying her shoelaces but also her heart...

That one night, that night of drifting rain, flashing lightning, and roaring thunder!

He left!

And she desperately tried to hold on, to hold onto the happiness of her life!

She cried like a person made of tears, shedding a lifetime's worth of tears, running desperately, sprinting!

Her shoes fell off; she ran barefoot!

She fell, got up, and kept running!

Finally, the car stopped and the simple boy came out.

He took off his own travel shoes, put them on her, and tied her shoelaces one last time.

His movements were so earnest, as if doing the most important thing in his life.

"Your shoelace is untied, just like your heart is open! Let me tie it for you one last time..."

This was the last sentence that simple boy left her with, yet when he spoke it, he cried...

It was the first time the girl saw the simple boy cry; even when they faced that vile assailant and he was injured, nearly dying, he had never shed a tear!

"Simple boy! I really miss you..."

As memories surfaced again in her mind, the girl's cheeks were already covered in tears unknowingly.

That person was the pain in her heart, the fatal wound that could never heal!

Tears slid down beneath the large sunglasses, slightly moistening the ground, glittering on her snow-white skin like dew on lilies, breathtakingly beautiful!

Sensing the girl's sorrow, the surrounding bodyguards each heaved silent sighs.

Such a kind and gentle girl, such a noble and stunning girl, they couldn't understand who had taken her heart, who had made her cry...

"Miss, they've arrived!"

Just then, as one of the bodyguards saw a Cadillac and several luxury cars approaching the airport, he turned to tell the girl.

The girl took a few deep breaths, hiding the trace of sadness in her heart and wiping away the tears on her face before gazing at the Cadillac.

Squeak!

The Cadillac abruptly stopped in front of the girl, and the door quickly swung open, revealing a flamboyant, seductive... cough, man!

That's right!

This was a flamboyant and seductive man!

He was tall and slender, with a waist as lithe as a willow, dressed in red casual wear with red flats on his feet, and light makeup on his face, exuding a flirtatious aura.

Too bad, dammit, he had an Adam's apple!!!

"Aiyo Wei! Zihan, you've finally arrived, people have been waiting for you so painfully!"

The coquettish man's voice was high-pitched, especially now as he spoke while posing with an orchid finger, making one's skin crawl with just a glance.

The girl's bodyguards, upon seeing this man, each had a rigid expression, feeling like their scalps were blowing up, all bowed their heads, unwilling to glance at him.

"Zihan, people have been waiting here for you for days! For your concert, I came back from the United States just to help you, how are you going to thank me, huh?"

The coquettish man first glanced at the several brawny bodyguards, flirtingly smiled at them, and then turned to the girl, speaking as if coquettishly.

The girl also seemed to be in distress, rubbing her brow helplessly before saying, "Brother Kai! Stop fooling around!"

"No! No! Zihan, you have to call me Sister Kai!"

The coquettish man was dissatisfied with the girl calling him Brother Kai, thus whining with an orchid finger.

"Alright, alright! Sister Kai!" The girl said with a bitter smile, and then continued:

"Thank you for rushing back from the United States for my concert! You are one of the top international fashion designers, and you are the only one I trust!"

"Giggle... As long as you know my struggles! But as best sisters, of course I have to help you!"

Sister Kai, the coquettish man, while speaking, turned to the bodyguards nearby, caressing their robust chest muscles, eyes slightly closed, with an intoxicated look on his face:

"Ah Long, you guys have gotten even burlier! Look at these muscles, they really make Sister go wild! When we have time, I should treat you guys to a meal!"

Sister Kai's words were like the plague, making the bodyguards shudder and then scamper away as fast as they could.

"So annoying! How could you treat me like this!"

Seeing this, Sister Kai was extremely discontent, hands on hips and a pouting face, before she turned to the girl and said:

"Let's go, Zihan! Your bodyguards are really no fun!"

The girl, well aware of Sister Kai's character, could only shake her head helplessly before joining her in the Cadillac.

As the luxury cars slowly departed, the eyebrows of many nearby travelers furrowed.

They felt the girl's silhouette was so familiar!

Yet, when these travelers saw the concert posters covering everything outside the airport, they were momentarily stunned and their expressions changed dramatically.

"She... She's Zhang Zihan!!!"
