Chapter 263 I Don't Want You to See Me Like This
Thinking of this, a trace of sadness flashed through Tan Xiangchen's heart.
He secretly decided that he couldn't let Li Yuzhu see him like this, so he got up and prepared to leave.
In fact, Li Yuzhu had been waiting for Tan Xiangchen all along.
She pretended to be asleep. When Tan Xiangchen appeared, she was incredibly excited, but she forced herself to remain asleep.
Seeing Tan Xiangchen about to leave, Li Yuzhu could no longer hold back. She quickly stood up, stretched out her hands, and hugged Tan Xiangchen's waist tightly, saying urgently, "Xiangchen, don't go."
Tan Xiangchen was stunned by the sudden embrace, and his heart trembled. He could clearly feel the softness of Li Yuzhu's body and smell the rose scent emanating from her.
Tan Xiangchen instinctively wanted to remove Li Yuzhu's hand, but his hands felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't bear to let go. He closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed this long-awaited embrace.
Li Yuzhu said gently, "Xiang Chen, it's me, Yuzhu. Don't go, I miss you so much."
Tan Xiangchen opened his eyes helplessly, feeling Li Yuzhu's embrace and her falling tears.
Tan Xiangchen felt as if his heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, the pain making it hard to breathe.
Li Yuzhu smiled slightly and said, "Xiang Chen, our son Tan Zhengchu has grown up and has seven babies. You will definitely like them."
A warm image of her family together flashed through Li Yuzhu's mind, a scene she hadn't dared to hope for for many years.
"I feel that day is not far away." Li Yuzhu thought to herself, "Finally, I can give my two sons a complete family."
Li Yuzhu held Tan Xiangchen tightly, speaking softly as she slowly recounted the events of the past twenty years since he left.
She only talked about the happy things, focusing on the growth of her two sons, Tan Zhengchu and Tan Zhengfan, but never mentioned the suffering she had endured.
In fact, during those long days, Li Yuzhu suffered from severe depression and was unable to take care of herself. She was deeply immersed in her longing for Tan Xiangchen and suffered terribly.
Tan Xiangchen listened quietly, unwilling to interrupt Li Yuzhu's story. He could clearly feel that Li Yuzhu was in a good mood at the moment, her voice filled with laughter.
Li Yuzhu keenly sensed that Tan Xiangchen's body was gradually relaxing. She knew that Tan Xiangchen was no longer resisting her, and his heart was slowly softening.
So, Li Yuzhu mustered her courage, reached out and hugged Tan Xiangchen's neck.
She slightly raised her head, gently kissed Tan Xiangchen's neck, and then slowly moved her lips closer to his.
Tan Xiangchen was immersed in Li Yuzhu's intimacy; his breathing became rapid, and his eyes became somewhat unfocused.
However, when Li Yuzhu turned Tan Xiangchen around so that they were face to face, Tan Xiangchen suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream and pushed her away violently.
Caught off guard, Li Yuzhu suddenly fell onto the bed.
But she didn't get up immediately. Instead, she gracefully tossed her hair, revealing her still beautiful and charming face.
Tan Xiangchen's gaze was instantly drawn to Li Yuzhu, and for a moment he couldn't look away until Li Yuzhu slowly stood up.
Li Yuzhu looked straight at Tan Xiangchen, her eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and questioning, and asked, "Xiangchen, do you still stand by your promise? I have never married in my life, and all I want to do is marry you."
Upon hearing this, Tan Xiangchen was speechless for a moment. After a brief silence, he admitted, "This was a promise I made, but now I have broken it."
Tan Xiangchen's expression turned cold. He chuckled softly, his tone tinged with helplessness and bitterness, and said, "I'm sorry, Yuzhu, I don't want to marry you now."
After saying that, Tan Xiangchen turned around and tried to leave, his steps hurried.
Li Yuzhu didn't chase after him; she just quietly watched his retreating figure.
Tan Xiangchen walked to the door and reached out to pull it, but found that he couldn't open it no matter what he did. He frowned and pulled hard several times, but the door remained unmoved.
Tan Xiangchen then realized that the door was locked and he could not leave for the time being.
At this moment, moonlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, casting a soft silver glow on Li Yuzhu's face, making her appearance even more captivating.
She stood by the bed, gazing intently at Tan Xiangchen, her voice gentle yet firm: "Xiangchen, I've been waiting for you. This time, I won't let you leave again."
Her fingers gently traced the door frame, a faint smile playing on her lips. "This door was specially made for me these past two days. Once an outsider comes in, there's no way to open it. You... can't escape either."
Tan Xiangchen had his back to her, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles trembling from the force.
He dared not turn around, afraid that if he saw her face, he would soften his heart.
His throat felt like it was blocked by something; he wanted to say something cruel, but he couldn't get the words out.
For over twenty years, he had thought of her and longed for her every day. Now that he saw her, his heart was filled with joy, but he could only force himself not to get close.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yuzhu slowly took a few steps forward, her voice as gentle as if she were coaxing a child: "Xiang Chen, do you know? From the moment I met you, my illness was cured. Only you can cure me, only you."
Her steps were light, yet each step felt like it was treading on Tan Xiangchen's heart.
Hearing her footsteps approaching, Tan Xiangchen subconsciously took a few steps back, his voice hoarse: "Don't come any closer... I don't want you to see me like this."
His voice carried a hint of pain and inferiority, as if he were afraid of something.
Li Yuzhu didn't care at all and continued forward, "No matter what you become, I will want you. I won't allow you to leave me again, I won't allow you to hide from me again."
Her tone was firm, and her eyes gleamed with an undeniable light.
Tan Xiangchen had nowhere to retreat and his back was pressed against the wall.
He lowered his head, not daring to look into her eyes, but his mind was already in turmoil.
Just then, Li Yuzhu suddenly stepped forward, reached out and hugged his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips without hesitation.
Her kiss was passionate and forceful, as if she wanted to pour out all the longing she had felt over the past twenty years.
Tan Xiangchen's body stiffened abruptly, and he subconsciously tried to push her away, but Li Yuzhu hugged him even tighter.
Her voice was muffled but firm: "Xiang Chen, I know your body may be damaged, but I don't care. No matter where you are damaged, I accept it, and I will not stop loving you because of it."
Tan Xiangchen's resistance gradually crumbled under her passionate kiss.
He knew in his heart that he shouldn't do this, but his body responded to her uncontrollably.
His hands slowly rose and finally landed on her waist, holding her tightly in his arms.
His kisses, initially passive, gradually became proactive and passionate, as if he wanted to release all his longing and repression.
Under the moonlight, their figures intertwined, as if time had stood still at that moment.
Tan Xiangchen knew in his heart that he could no longer push her away.
His willpower had long since crumbled in the face of her gentleness and determination.
