Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 98 Li Wu suddenly turned around and called his name.
……

Li Wu looked up, and her gaze suddenly stopped.

Xu Xiling stood not far behind her, watching her for who knows how long.

"Xu..."

Li Wu smiled at Xu Xiling, just about to greet him. She'd only uttered one word when tears unexpectedly streamed down her face.

Li Wu quickly reached out to wipe her face, her voice trembling with emotion, "I'm sorry, I seem to be a little emotional right now..."

Li Wu had considered the possibility that they might meet again someday, and she would pretend to be a stranger, as long as she was doing well.

But what if such a scene actually happened before your eyes?

Li Wu realized that the last line of defense she had buried deep in her heart had been easily broken.

So fragile and vulnerable.

Looking at Li Wu's red eyes, Xu Xiling felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.

He instinctively raised his hand, seemingly wanting to wipe away the tears from Li Wu's eyes. But then, as if suddenly remembering something, his hand abruptly froze in mid-air—

He has no stance.

After a slight pause.

Xu Xiling casually withdrew his hand.

He didn't ask anything, he just stood quietly with Li Wu for a while.

Li Wu looked at the large red lanterns hanging in the courtyard, swaying in the wind, their festive red color seemingly spreading to every corner.

After a while.

Li Wu suddenly asked Xu Xiling, "Was I not famous enough before?"

When she asked this question, she seemed a little confused.

Before Xu Xiling could answer, Li Wu spoke softly, as if answering her own question, "Sister Xin used to say that I was famous all over the country, but that's not true."

“The name ‘Li Wu’ isn’t known throughout every part of the country, and not everyone can see me standing on this stage…”

As she spoke, Li Wu's voice gradually faded until it fell silent.

Xu Xiling looked at the girl who appeared particularly thin and fragile in the night.

Suddenly it came to mind.

When he was stationed abroad, in such remote places, every household would turn on the TV at 7:30 pm to watch a TV series called "Floating Life Dream".

She was among them.

It is a household name.

After a moment of silence, Xu Xiling slowly spoke, "But besides that, there are still many other people who saw you, who saw you standing on the stage, shining brightly." "Don't you have over 70 million followers on Weibo? There are still people who genuinely like you and follow you."

and so--

Look ahead.

After hearing Xu Xiling's words.

Li Wu was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh, "You know about Weibo?"

She assumed that for someone like Xu Xiling, a mobile phone was simply a communication tool. Aside from essential communication apps, he wouldn't download any other software; entertainment apps like Weibo were practically nonexistent.

Just like Zhou Jinghuai's phone, he has never downloaded entertainment apps such as Weibo.

"I'm not a caveman, I can't be completely disconnected from the internet."

Xu Xiling looked at Li Wu, who had a smile on her face, a few strands of hair brushing against her cheek in the wind.

His gaze deepened, and his tone was slow and unreadable, "I still occasionally take a look at entertainment news."

Although she was the only person he followed on Weibo, he only went online to check her schedule.

"I can't quite imagine..." what he's like using Weibo.

Li Wu sighed.

Xu Xiling smiled but didn't say anything.

The night was dark, and the warm orange light enveloped the two people standing there, casting long shadows on the ground.

The two of them stood there for a while.

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger. Xu Xiling saw that Li Wu was dressed in thin clothes and was about to tell her to go back when...

Li Wu suddenly turned around and called his name.

"Xu Xiling".

The moment their eyes met, Xu Xiling saw that her eyes were still red, and the moisture at the corners of her eyes had not yet completely dried.

That moment.

Xu Xiling suddenly dared not look her in the eye.

"what happened?"

Xu Xiling ignored his bad feeling and replied in a calm tone.

Li Wu just looked at Xu Xiling quietly and asked.

"Can you tell me what he's hiding from me?"
