Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Back from Huacheng, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke went to Songcheng to prepare for her study abroad . As she frequently met with Gu Shuang, Song Li, and Xing Jingjing, Lou Cheng realized the matter they'd rather not talk about had become impossible to ignore .
The heaviness began to develop between them . However confident and well prepared they were, the unknown and the long distance were still terrifying for this young couple at the age of 19 and 20 .
Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke were reluctant to part . They spent every possible moment with each other but still couldn't get enough of each other . They attempted to soothe the mental suppression with the extreme physical pleasure .
About their meeting up often and spending time together alone, Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang seemed pleased with it, while Yan Kai and Ji Mingyu turned a blind eye to it .
However, their passionate lovemaking couldn't freeze time . Soon came the day she had to leave .
August 5th, Gaofen Airport before the security check .
Yan Kai and Ji Mingyu moved a few steps away to give them some privacy .
Yan Zheke pursed her lips tightly, locked her clear eyes on Lou Cheng, and fixed his collar out of habit . She then put on her soft voice .
"Cheng, don't worry . Empress Dowager has decided to stay with me until September to help me adapt myself to the new environment .
"America is not the safest country, but dangers mostly take place in certain areas . I have no plans to go about, so it won't be a problem . Also, Empress Dowager has hired a Dan stage master from the Shushan Study to protect me over there . Her husband died young and her son is in college . She has loads of free time and is a great cook .
"I'll spend my two long holidays back here . You must make yourself available for me, okay?"
"I promise!" Lou Cheng forced a smile .
Yan Zheke finished slowly and her eyes on Lou Cheng became soft and tender, full of affection and sorrow .
"Take care of yourself when I'm not here . Go out to have a nice meal with Talker now and then . Don't just get by in the cafeteria .
"Don't be completely careless about your clothing . Collocate well before putting them on . Ask me or Talker if you are unsure . You are a famous martial artist now . You are one of the favored fighters of the age . The public image is important . . . "
Her eyes were red and her voice was disturbed by sobs .
Lou Cheng took a deep breath and promised in a deep, mature tone,
"Yes . I'll book my flight over once Empress Dowager decides her date for coming back . "
The Ice God Sect had promised to take care of his passport and visa . All he needed was to show up .
"Hmm . Reply to my messages every day and talk with me!" Yan Zheke put on a bitter smile and waved . "It's getting late . I better go . "
"Yeah . " Lou Cheng struggled to wave his hand, watching her turn around and step to Yan Kai and Ji Mingyu .
After two steps, she abruptly turned around and waved at Lou Cheng again .
Lou Cheng responded with nod .
Yan Zheke and her parents advanced towards the security check .
A few steps later, she looked back and locked her eyes with Lou Cheng's for a few seconds .
She looked back seven if not eight times during such a short distance .
After the final long gaze, she forced a smile and waved once again, calling silently with her lips,
"See you in September . . . "
She turned around and strode forth to join Yan Kai and Ji Mingyu to the right . Her figure in a chiffon top, jeans, and white shoes disappeared in front of Lou Cheng gradually .
Intense feelings surged inside Lou Cheng . He ran forward without knowing and caught the beautiful back of Yan Zheke until she completely walked out of his vision .
He opened his mouth but didn't let out any sound in the end, feeling lost .
His little fairy was nowhere in his sight .
…
Walking behind her parents, Yan Zheke moved slowly with a small suitcase . She turned around once again subconsciously in hopes of seeing that familiar, adorable figure one more time but in her sight were just strange faces .
Her heart was empty, so was her mind . She suddenly turned around and ran towards the entrance in search of him .
"Ke?" Yan Kai's voice stopped her steps .
She threw one more glance at the entrance and then rejoined her parents, biting her bottom lip gently .
Yan Kai and Ji Mingyu exchanged a look with a silent sigh and didn't say anything .
After the security check, they headed towards the first class lounge . Yan Zheke remained silent and grabbed the hand next to her out of habit .
Instead of the thickness and warmth she had expected, it was a cold, slim palm in her hand .

She turned her head and saw Empress Dowager's hand in hers .
She wanted to grab her arm with the other hand to make it natural and less awkward but her other hand was occupied by a suitcase .
Yan Zheke's vision was blurred by a thin layer of tears and she turned her head to the side, her eyes red .
Ji Mingyu was once like this herself . She sensed the mood change in her daughter and tapped her hand gently with a smile .
"Should have let Lou accompany you to the States . We are not good enough?"
"No!" Yan Zheke wrapped up all her feelings and emotions like always . She refused to shed tears of sorrow .
Yan Kai with one backpack and two small suitcases stood there and watched them quietly .
Ji Mingyu grabbed one suitcase and entered the lounge with her husband and daughter .
She poured a glass of juice for Yan Zheke and sat down next to her with a caring smile .
"I think sweetness can soothe emotions . "
"Yeah . " Yan Zheke took a sip, the sweet and sour taste stimulating her spirit .
Ji Mingyu put on a very gentle tone,
"I've been concerned about you making silly decisions . I guess I've thought too much . You are my good daughter . As Lou has promised, you will see each other in just over one month . Don't be upset . "
Silly decisions . . . Yan Zheke lost in her mother's words and a wry smile climbed on her face .
"I did make silly decisions . . .
"I'm so not ready to have my own child or to be a mother . But I decided to take the slim chance and leave the decision to God because of my fear of parting with Cheng .
"If I got pregnant, things would go beyond my imagination . . .
"How silly and crazy I have been these days!
"However, on the other hand, Cheng has done more silly things than me .
"He ran until out of breath before talking to me in front of the Martial Arts Club . How shy and nervous he was!
"He hoped to hold my hand when we went boating at Zhaoshan Lake during our social meetup, but I jumped on agilely . How silly and cute he was!

"He confessed his love for me on that Valentine's Day without any foreshadowing . Such an impulsive lunkhead!"
"He wanted to grab my hand on our first date but was too stiff and scared of being rejected . When we finally held hands, he was so lost and forgot about the traffic and direction .
"And that time we were kissing so passionately in the locker room when Reporter Shu knocked at the door . He was stressed and upset, on the edge of beating them up .
"And he always desired to make out with me and always managed to stick to the baseline by taking a cold shower helplessly with grief and indignation . "
…
Yan Zheke's thought went wild . Thinking about all the silly things Lou Cheng has done for her, her lips curved upward with joy . But as more and more memories flashed in her head, her smile froze and her heart swelled . Something was brewing and something was about to break free .
"After the loss to Shanbei, he wanted me to experience the feeling of jumping off a high building and we hugged so tightly against the wind .
"He taught me many wicked things . We climbed walls . We sneaked out all night . . .
"And that night, he couldn't help kissing every inch of my skin during the foot massage . . .
"That night, he called my name so desperately and passionately in bed . Thrilled and wild with joy, he still thought about protection . . .
"And how adorable he was when he felt jealous of the Dragon King for no reason . . . "
…
Memories from the last two years flooded in her head . The beautiful moments and feelings from their love were clear like yesterday . It bubbled in her heart and mind and blurred her vision . The bondage that kept her emotions under control was about to break .
"Ke, you are crying?" Ji Mingyu looked at her daughter in shock .
Yan Zheke wiped her eyes and forced a smile .
"I'm not, Mom . You know me . I don't cry for sorrow . "
She lowered her head and sent Lou Cheng a message from her phone .
"Cheng, what are you doing now?"
Lou Cheng standing at a higher position outside the airport replied with a wry smile,
"I have found a place where I can watch airplanes take off and land . . . "

"A place for watching airplanes take off and land . . . " Yan Zheke chanted silently and everything in her heart went wild . The scenes she had recalled dashed out of her heart and went away .
Her vision was completely blurred and something warm rolled down her face, leaving a salty taste on her lips .
"Ke . . . " Ji Mingyu and Yan Kai was stunned by the tears on her daughter's face .
Yan Zheke lost control of her tears and emotion . She grabbed her mobile and stood up, sobbing .
"Mom, Dad, I need to make a phone call . "
She ran to the corner and dialed Lou Cheng's number nervously .
"Hello, Cheng . . . " Her voice was shaking and tears continued rolling down her fair face .
"Ke, what is it?" Asked Lou Cheng, very concerned .
Yan Zheke couldn't see clearly . She continued, weeping,
"Cheng, I have never said it to you . "
She sobbed and cried in a low voice,
"Cheng . . . "
"Yes?" Lou Cheng felt his eyes wet .
Yan Zheke paused for a second and tears filled up her eyes again .
"Cheng, I love you!"
…
One hour later, Lou Cheng checked his phone and confirmed her flight was taking off . He looked up towards the airport and saw a huge airplane rise slowly into the sky and gradually disappear in front of his eyes .
His heart felt empty like a broken moon or a tideless ocean . Nothing could make up for it .
He withdrew his eyes and went down the stairs blankly . Then his mobile suddenly rang and it was from Geezer Shi .
"Hello, Master," Lou Cheng answered calmly .
Geezer Shi laughed .
"Yan Girl has taken off, right? I didn't want to send you work in these times . . . We have some clues about the wine pot with the Dou character . The military wants to pursue it themselves, but I'd rather you do it . It's a good opportunity to test your comprehensive capabilities . "
