Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 124: Can You Give Me a Hug?

"Oh." Song Jingtian instantly turned into a dispirited little quail.

Seeing him like this, Song Baiyan could no longer keep a cold face.

Realizing that his elder brother wasn’t truly angry, Song Jingtian immediately ingratiated himself, "Elder brother, I will miss you."

Song Baiyan let out a laugh, ruffling the little guy’s head, and knowing it was about time, directed them to check their tickets and enter the waiting hall.

Tang Li took Song Jingtian to the back of the queue.

The line slowly moved forward, and about five minutes later, they reached the entrance.

Tang Li couldn’t help but look back.

She discovered that Song Baiyan was still in the same spot.

Watching them enter the station.

Tang Li’s brain stalled for a moment, particularly when she noticed that the warmth and gentleness hadn’t yet left Song Baiyan’s eyes.

Even if it was because of Song Jingtian, her emotions were still influenced.

As if possessed, Tang Li left the line.

Just as Song Baiyan was about to turn and leave, from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Tang Li running towards him.

On the busy thoroughfare, the slender girl in a hoodie and jeans hurried through the crowd, causing Song Baiyan’s steps to falter, his gaze fixated on Tang Li, her shoulder-length fluffy hair billowing in the wind, outlining her delicate and clean facial contours and neck even more clearly.

In her eyes, there was a mixture of nervousness and a fleeting look.

Then, she was standing in front of him.

Tang Li’s breath was uneven, her heart felt like it was about to leap from her throat, her gaze moving from the watch on Song Baiyan’s left wrist to his shirt, then from the prominent Adam’s apple to his face.

All of the sudden confusion was stripped from her body.

As if her world became crystal clear.

Her gaze was serene and bright, directly looking at the handsome features of the man, a maturity different from that of a boy, inexplicably drawing her in.

At this moment, Tang Li vaguely felt that it wasn’t just the affection a junior might feel for a senior.

She couldn’t help but blurt out, "Can you hug me for a moment?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Tang Li realized her impudence; even though Song Baiyan and her mother were old acquaintances, and even though he had always been tolerant towards her, but... after all, they were not relatives by blood, and there was a difference between men and women.

Suppressing her heartbeat, she instinctively tried to backtrack, "I mean—"

Before she could finish speaking, Song Baiyan had already stepped forward, extending his arms to circle her slender shoulders, drawing her gently into his embrace. Tang Li was slightly taken aback, as the man patted her back with his other hand, "Study well when you get back to the Capital, and if you encounter anything that you can’t resolve, call me just like you did before."

The man’s rich voice rang in her ears at the same time.

It was Song Baiyan’s admonition.

—Just as he had advised Song Jingtian.

Such a hug had more of a courteous nature, seeming to be nothing more than a way for a senior to bid farewell to a junior.

Tang Li tentatively leaned in, wrapping her arms around Song Baiyan’s waist, instantly making the embrace feel more real and no longer a distant, transient connection.

Song Baiyan stood still, letting the girl rest her face against his shoulder.

Because he felt the hesitance in the depths of Tang Li’s heart.

Just like that day in the gym.

Song Baiyan had come to understand Tang Li’s situation in the Lai Family; compared to her carefree days in Diannan, her life beside Lai Wenyan had become much more cautious.

He couldn’t help but slightly tighten his hold on the girl’s frail shoulders, like a silent comfort.

Within seconds, Tang Li released her grip first.

She stepped back, subtly concealing her hands behind her.

When she looked at Song Baiyan again, she pursed her lips in a light smile, trying to appear composed, but her flickering eyes betrayed her.
