Chapter 279: Sorry, I'm late_1

...

Dark nightfall.

The dreary detention room is bone-chillingly cold.

Hai Xiaotang sits in a corner, huddled up, her head buried in her knees, without making a sound.

Just as she is starting to doze off, the door suddenly swings open.

A steady pair of footsteps approach her...

Hai Xiaotang stirs a bit, lifting her head slowly. The first thing she sees is a pair of black leather boots, followed by a man's shapely legs in trousers...

Then a blurry face, yet unmistakably familiar!

It is... Dongfang Yu!

Hai Xiaotang shivers all over, her gaze glued to his face, as if unable to believe her own eyes.

Dongfang Yu likewise stares at her, his eyes dark and unblinking.

He steps up to her, bends down his body and takes in her increasingly haggard face, his eyes betraying his deep affection.

Gently caressing her face, Dongfang Yu opens his mouth, but a husky voice says, "I'm sorry, Hai Xiaotang..."

By this moment, Hai Xiaotang's eyes are already filled with tears.
