Ming Zixi's attitude towards Li An was quite enthusiastic; he practically ran up to Li An in just a few steps. Whether it was genuine excitement or exaggerated actions, one could hear his quickened breathing.

"You're really heartless! Once you have a new lover, you want me gone. I've just arrived from the plane and haven't even had a cup of tea yet. Don't tell me you don't miss me at all" Ming Zixi feigned to throw himself onto Li An.

Ming Zixi originally had hair that was neither too long nor too short. His father, Ming Lei, had scolded him several times for his slick appearance. For some reason over the past two months, he hadn't cut his hair and wore a shiny floral shirt while sporting flowing locks, making him look much more effeminate.

The strikingly handsome Ming Zixi leaning against Li An's equally stunning figure did have an eerie resemblance to 'Brokeback Mountain', attracting glances from passersby.

"What are you doing Did you take the wrong pills" Li An angrily pushed away the Ming Zixi who had thrown himself onto him, as if there was something dirty on his body. He then roughly patted his high-end t-shirt.

Sao Junhe and Sao Meizhuo laughed softly beside them.

"You, my bête noire! How can you be so unchivalrous With such a rough temper, how are you going to marry someone" Ming Zixi mimicked a high-pitched voice, fluttering his eyelashes at Li An. "Don't you feel the charm when I have this long hair cascading down my shoulders"

"Get lost! I think you're not magical, but rather a bit delusional!" Li An was disgusted by Ming Zixi's extremely narcissistic and effeminate demeanor. He quickly stepped back two steps, as if afraid that Ming Zixi would pounce on him again. Then he turned to ask Ruan Weijie beside him, "What’s wrong with him After not seeing each other for just two months, how did his gender change"

Ruan Weijie didn’t dare to joke around with Li An; instead, he spoke the truth: "When we were on the airplane earlier, there were two gay men sitting next to us. They looked like Thailand’s ladyboys and were quite good-looking. Ever since then, Zixi哥 has been staring at them with his eyes wide open."

"Such a little ambition; you’re not afraid of getting your eyes stuck," Li An couldn’t help but spit at Ming Zixi.

Ming Zixi touched his own head. His hair, which felt extremely soft to the touch, made him捨不得把手放下, and he gently stroked it along its strands while simultaneously batting his eyelashes at Li An in a flirtatious manner: "It’s not that I think they are good-looking; rather, I feel very reluctant to let my long flowing locks go to waste without utilizing them."

Upon hearing Ming Zixi's implication, Li An asked with some confusion: "Are you thinking of getting a haircut and becoming an upstanding citizen"

"Alas, I have no choice but to do so," Ming Zixi sighed helplessly. "For your engagement ceremony this time, my parents and brother must come; if they see me looking like neither a man nor a woman, Father will definitely beat me up."

His words reminded Li An of something important. At that moment, he suddenly realized that while they were chatting and laughing, they had already reached the entrance to the airport. Soon enough, Ming Zixi would be able to mix himself out of the airport.

"Stop right there; don’t move!" Li An rushed in front of everyone, spreading his arms wide with a stern expression to stop them all.

"What does it mean Do you want us to take a group photo with you" Ming Zixi laughed, casually flicking his long hair. "Come on, brother, how do I look"

"Grow up!" Li An glared at him and waved the airline tickets he was holding again. "Didn't I just say that I've bought your plane tickets You guys can go home to see Mom right away!"

Sao Meizhu, who was standing by, looked enviously at Li An. From her experience of dealing with him for so long, whenever he showed up in such a solemn manner, it meant that his habit of prioritizing others over friends would kick in again. She rolled her eyes and complained, "Why are you in such a hurry to send us away Haikou isn't your home; why can't we go"

Ming Zixi asked somewhat angrily, "What's with you, not liking us so much How could our coming here be such a big deal for you Are you busy day and night without rest"

Sao Junhe had accepted the fact that Yan Luoxi was going to marry Li An by this time. He joined in teasing him with Ming Zixi, saying, "Li An, since you're getting married, save some energy for later on. Spend more time with us friends who are still struggling!"

Seeing that he had to take a firm stance, Li An stretched his joints and said, "Less talk, don’t say I didn't warn you. If any of you try to leave, regardless of gender, I'll throw all of you on the plane."

Ming Zixi smiled and said, "You and Yan Luoxi are an old married couple now; do you really need to dislike us so much You're hopelessly biased toward others!"

Li An didn't argue with him. "I have my reasons. I get annoyed just by looking at you." He didn’t want to mention Sao Meizhu as well.

Shao Meizhuo saw Li An's sideways glance at her and felt resentful. Despite her thousand regrets, she could not change the fact that Li An was determined to marry Yan Luoxi.

She didn’t want to argue with Li An anymore. She let out a cold snort and looked out of the airport’s ground floor window towards the sky and earth when suddenly she saw a somewhat familiar figure. On closer inspection, she noticed that the figure was running forward. Based on her experience, only one person could make this usually calm man run: Yan Luoxi!

"Look! Who's that!" At a critical moment, Shao Meizhuo displayed her sharp and decisive nature by pointing outside the window with an astonished voice, drawing everyone’s attention.

Thanks to Shao Meizhuo’s eagle-like eyesight and decisiveness, everyone was able to clearly see Yan Luoxi's entire interaction from meeting Zhou Guangtao to parting ways.

Li An stood there staring intently out of the window as if he wanted to pierce through Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao. However, the two people outside, lost in a sorrowful farewell, did not notice anyone watching them closely from inside the window at all.

Standing there, Li An had to suppress his urge to rush out and have a big argument with Yan Luoxi.

He watched as Yan Luoxi hugged Zhou Guangtao tightly, looked into his eyes deeply, and cried her heart out. Suddenly, he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and hopelessness. It turned out that many things didn’t necessarily have results just because one tried their best.

Yan Luoxi had promised him she would never see Zhou Guangtao again and that she’d only love him from then on. But all the words she said were lies, playing with his feelings as if he were a fool. Luoxi for having such an attentive and handsome boyfriend like Shao Junhe; at the same time, she felt lucky that she could be close to this kind of good-looking guy.The waiter knocked and called on Y...
