C271 Let Him Give up

Tiankui didn't say anything. She just let Lain hold her hand and follow quietly behind him. Looking at his tall back, the corners of Tiankui's mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile. However, there was a trace of bitterness within her smile.

… ….

Lain pulled Tiankui to a coffee shop near the venue. It seemed that he wanted to sit down and have a good talk with Tiankui.

Tiankui and Lain sat facing each other. They looked at each other and did not speak.

"Sir, Miss, what would you like to order?" Seeing that Lain and Tiankui had yet to order, the waiter walked up to them and asked with a smile.

Lain had been staring at Tiankui without blinking, as if he didn't hear what the waiter said at all.

Seeing this, Tiankui said to the waiter, "Two cups of American coffee."

"Coffee on ice, please?" the waiter continued.

Before Tiankui could reply, Lain took the initiative and said to the waiter, "One cup with ice. Not one cup."

"Sure, please wait a moment." After the waiter finished ordering, he left, leaving Tiankui and Lain to look at each other silently.

Tiankui saw that Lain didn't seem to have any intentions of opening his mouth, so they just sat there. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Thus, she decided to say whatever she wanted.

"Your habits haven't changed over the years. You like iced coffee."

"I don't drink ice anymore — the iced coffee is for you, to calm you down so you can talk to me in peace." Lain looked at Tiankui and said slowly.

Hearing this, Tiankui felt a little awkward, but she didn't know what to do. She picked up the cup of water and pretended to drink it, trying to get rid of the awkward atmosphere.

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Lain looked at Tiankui. After a long while, he sighed and asked word by word. After saying this sentence, he seemed to have exhausted all of his strength.

Hearing that, Tiankui put down the cup in her hands. She looked at Lain and smiled indifferently, saying, "Because I want to return home."

"I understand that you are in a hurry to return home and have no time to contact me. But, why haven't you contacted me even after returning to this country for so long? Do you know how I came here during the years you were gone? " As Lain spoke, he became excited.

Tiankui's heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, and her nose felt slightly sour. However, she pretended to be indifferent as she smiled and said, "How did you get here? What does it have to do with me?"

She put her hand under the table and unconsciously clenched it tightly, preventing herself from showing any sign of weakness.

"It doesn't matter? "Anna, do you think I have nothing to do with you?" Lain asked with a wry smile.

"Lain, I told you earlier, you are just a toy when I am bored in a foreign land. My problem has nothing to do with you. Naturally, your problem has nothing to do with me either. " Tiankui said expressionlessly.

Lain looked at Tiankui in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that she would say such a thing. However, he was still calm. After a moment, he asked calmly, "Anna, you left without saying goodbye, is there some sort of bitterness? As long as you say it, I believe you. "

"Difficult? What difficulties would I have? " Tiankui said slowly with a disdainful expression.

Hearing that, Lain felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Even if she was lying, as long as she was telling the truth, he would believe it. Even if she was lying to him, he was still willing to be lied to by her – at least, she was willing to spend her time lying to him. But now, she didn't even want to lie to him anymore. Could it be that she really wanted to draw a clear line between them?

"Anna, you said that your parents were in China. But I didn't find a single piece of information about your parents. "I didn't even find out who you are … Anna, who exactly are you?" Lain looked at Tiankui and asked worriedly.

Hearing this, Tiankui's face turned slightly pale. She didn't think that Lain had already investigated her. Although the organization took orphans out of China in the name of adoption, not long after adoption, the seniors of the organization hacked into the website and deleted all the adoption materials. Therefore, Lain's attempt to find her could be said to be even harder than ascending to the heavens.

"Who am I, what does it have to do with you? "Lain, I advise you not to casually ask about my matters." Tiankui looked at Lain and said faintly. If Lain really found some clues along the way, the people in the organization definitely wouldn't let him off so easily. And with her ability, she couldn't protect him at all!

"Anna, I know, if even a hacker like me can't find out your identity, then, behind you, there must be a huge organisation —" Lain said seriously, "So, I think, the reason you left without saying goodbye was because of your organization, right?"

Hearing this, Tiankui was a little nervous and didn't know how to respond.

At this moment, the waiter brought the coffee they had ordered just now. Tiankui took this opportunity to divert her attention so that she wouldn't look too nervous.

She picked up the iced coffee and took two sips before her heart calmed a little. Then, she calmly opened her mouth to divert Lain's attention: "Lain, what exactly do you want me to say to come here? You'd better make a long story short — I still have things to do, and I don't have time to stay here with you. "1

Lain looked at Tiankui. Seeing that she was getting impatient, he let out a long sigh and stopped asking the question. Then, he quietly asked, "I want to know, how have you been all these years?"

Hearing this, Tiankui's emotions became complicated. Since Lain could find his way here, then, how has she been these years? She thinks that he should be able to get a rough idea of her situation. Now, when he asked her if she was doing well, Tiankui knew that this wasn't what he wanted to ask her.

Tiankui took another sip of her coffee before placing the cup on the table. She looked at Lain and said with a smile, "Of course I'm doing well. Not long after returning home, I met my current boyfriend. He treats me very well. If nothing goes wrong, we will get married soon. "

Seeing Tiankui's happy and charming smile when she mentioned her "boyfriend," Lain wanted to force out a smile, but that smile was even uglier than crying. He put his hand under the table and held it tightly.

Seeing Lain's sad and disappointed expression, Tiankui continued, "I feel really sorry for my happiness by myself. After all, I was in a foreign land all those years ago, and it was thanks to you that I was able to kill time — so, Lain, I hope that you can find the person who suits you as soon as possible, just like me." And the person who suits you, is destined not to be me.

After Tiankui finished her sentence, she prepared to leave.

"Anna, can I see him?" Lain looked at Tiankui and asked, unwilling to give up.

"Why do you want to see him? I think that the two of you aren't familiar enough to see each other, right? " Tiankui didn't have a boyfriend, so she could only find an excuse to talk to Lain.

"Without personally seeing him, there would still be a trace of a fantasy in my heart — perhaps, you're just lying to me." Lain was honest. However, his honesty made Tiankui feel even more uneasiness in her heart.

Tiankui squeezed out a smile as she looked at Lain and said slowly, "Don't worry — when I get married, I will send you an invitation. If you come, you will naturally see him."

Tiankui stood up and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and looked at Lain with a serious face and said, "Lain, I really hope we don't meet again in the future. I'm worried that my boyfriend will get jealous if he finds out."

With that, Tiankui turned around resolutely and left in a hurry without looking back.

Lain sat on the spot and watched Tiankui's leaving figure with a slightly absent-minded expression.

… ….

Lain sat in the coffee shop and watched Tiankui's figure gradually disappear into the crowd through the glass window. However, he did not look away.

After a long while, he let out a heavy sigh and retracted his gaze. However, there was a trace of sparkling in his eyes. Trembling, he picked up the cup of coffee in front of him. The coffee was still steaming, but he put it down.

Anna was right, his habits hadn't changed after all these years. He still liked iced coffee, he still liked sitting by the window, he still — liked her.

The man wearing sunglasses stood up from a nearby seat and slowly walked in front of Lain before sitting opposite him. Looking at Lain's dead face, he opened his mouth leisurely: "Lain, since you like her so much, why don't you chase after her and watch her leave?"

"Young Master Huo …" Lain looked up at the man and said weakly, "She said that she already has a boyfriend and that they will get married soon."

"Lain, you are usually so smart, why are you so stupid today? Do you honestly believe what she says? " Huo Mingshen clicked his tongue and said.

"But she never lied to me." Lain said while sighing. His eyes were filled with sadness.

"Since she didn't lie to you, then why did she leave without saying goodbye back then? You say that she has never lied to you, but I feel that there is a prerequisite for this, and that is that she did not leave without saying goodbye. " Huo Mingshen said in a low voice.

Hearing that, Lain's eyes lit up — maybe Young Master Huo was right, Anna was just lying to him.

"Lain, even if Anna really has a boyfriend, as long as she isn't married, you still have a chance. It's a bit immoral to say that, but it's true. Even if she's married, you still have the right to pursue her. Wasn't there such a sentence? As long as the hoe was swung well, there was no wall that could not be dug — Lain, for her, you gave up your future and became a hacker, regardless of your family's objections. Now that you finally found her, could it be that you're willing to let go just like that? " "Huo Mingshen looked at Lain, shook his head and sighed.

Hearing that, a trace of determination appeared in Lain's eyes. Yeah, he finally found her after so much difficulty, how could he give up so easily? No matter what, he had to do everything he could to take Anna's heart back!
