Chapter 164 164:Another Familiar Meeting


Leon emerged from the tent, blinking against the bright sunlight as he stretched his arms overhead. As he took in the surroundings of the campsite, he spotted a familiar woman with an expression filled with relief and concern.

"Leon!" The woman exclaimed, leaping to her feet and pouncing over to him. Without hesitation, she enveloped him in a tight hug, her arms wrapping around him as she buried her face in his chest.

"Hmmm!"Leon's throat became dry seeing the woman shedding tears.

"Mrs Su, what are you doing here?"

Leon's voice cracked a bit seeing her eyes filled with worry.

"Leon, just where did you disappear? Do you know how worried I was?"

"Some said that you were killed due to offending someone while some say you ran away in fear, unable to bear it anymore. And no matter how I searched, I wasn't able to find it."

"You are so cruel. Disappearing just like that."

Leon listened to her complaints one by one and returned a soft smile, and returned the embrace as he felt the warmth of Su Lin's presence wash over him. "Hey, Mrs Su Lin. I didn't mean to worry you," he reassured her, his voice filled with genuine concern.

Su Lin pulled back slightly, her hands reaching up to gently caress his hair. "I was so worried when you disappeared like that. Where did you go? Did something happen? And are you okay now" she asked, her eyes searching for any sign of distress.

Leon smiled reassuringly, grateful for Su Lin's unwavering support. "I just needed some time alone to clear my head. I'm fine, really," he replied, his voice soft and reassuring.

"But how did you find me?"

Su Lin nodded, her expression softening with relief. "I hired people to search you but there was no sign. I was at the end of the ropes cause as you said I didn't have enough influence so I tried to train and gain some influence. Later,I decided to join the army and just as I was starting to get worried, I found your mother and had a brief discussion. And yesterday, your mother informed me about you."

Leon sucked in the cold air.Seeing him acting so obsessed, Leon decided to cut straight to the chase" Mrs. Su, can you calm down? You aren't acting like a teacher now?

"I know that but I just missed you. Every time I taught the class, I felt your absence. It was daunting and suffocating when I saw people laughing around and mocking your names and as time went on, instead of forgetting about you my longing for you deepened. All I wished for was to get a chance to see you and thankfully God seems to have listened to my call. I know this isn't normal but I can't just suppress my feelings," Su Lin admitted, her voice tinged with emotion and a reddish blush crept on her face.

The eyes that have been so nonchalant seem to be weighed down by bafflement. There was a sign of overwhelming in those eyes.

Su Lin clenched her fist averting her gaze for a moment.

"Honestly, I don't know why. At times I even asked myself the same question again and again. Like why am I going to such lengths for you whom I barely know long enough? For someone who was bothersome and destroyed the peace of my class before. And what do I feel about you?"

After a moment, Su Lin raised her head and tucked her hair behind her ears.

"I knew times had been quite hard for you. You always acted like a hooligan and playboy but I knew all of this was a lie. During the council session, you always laughed but your eyes were moist and filled with sadness."

Leon's eyes widened seeing the sunlight bathing her and a distant blurry image started to resurface.

It was a memory of when he sat in a sullen atmosphere while Su Lin stood near the window while Leon would smile hearing her lecture.

It was a rare time when he would act as his true self.

Su Lin pausing a bit spoke, "Despite going through so much, I can see that you never hated your mother. Though you pretend to hate her really, you love her greatly and you are always anxious that something might happen to her in your absence and when I asked her why don't try to contact her then you would always say that it's not the time yet."

"Really?"Leon blurted out with a sudden premonition.

"Yeah, you said that a certain time will come until then please let me grieve and dive into the sorrow. Let me enjoy and reign free until that time..." Su Lin paused and took out a black box from her inner vest.

"This is the second reason I was looking for you madly. To give you the thing you asked me to give you."

"Hun?"Leon made a confused expression.

"When I saw you after Christmas, those eyes of yours, that indifference filled with eeriness, were screaming that the time had come when you asked me to give you this after your personality changes."Su Lin muttered, handing it over to Leon.

Leon subconsciously raised his hand to hold the box but his hands were trembling. He could even hear faint whispers asking him to open the box.

Trying to hide his uneasiness, Leon opened the box and saw a parchment with something written on it.
