Chapter 273 Magic
Mrs. Li was like that. Her heart was always with her son, Xiaolong, and she hoped that he could grow up healthy and happy, and get married and start a career.
This is her responsibility as a mother, and it is also the focus of her life.
However, at the same time, she also longed to break free from the constraints of life and find her own happiness.
She longs to be understood and cared for, and to have a confidant by her side to share her joys and sorrows.
This conflicting feeling made her feel both warmth and anticipation when facing Li Jian, yet also filled with hesitation and unease.
She was afraid that her choice would hurt her son, and she was also afraid of being hurt by love again.
Her heart was like a lake with undulating waves, calm on the surface but turbulent beneath.
Li Jian's appearance was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating her long-silent life.
His gentleness and sincerity gave her a long-lost sense of security, but the pain of the past and the uncertainty of the future made her hesitant to open her heart easily.
She harbored both a longing for happiness and a fear of reality, and this complex mix of emotions made her hesitant when facing Li Jian.
However, it is precisely this sensitivity and complexity that makes her more authentic and moving.
Li Jian knew he had been too hasty; he hadn't even eaten two bites of food before thinking about making his way into the inner circle.
Li Jian slapped himself: "I'm sorry, Ah Zhen, I was too impulsive."
Mrs. Li quickly grabbed Li Jian's hand to prevent him from harming himself: "It's not your fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said those things and sent you those photos, making you misunderstand me."
Li Jian grasped Mrs. Li's small hand and said, "But I've taken everything you said to heart. I've memorized all the photos you gave me. Unless you tear my head off, I'll never forget them for the rest of my life."
Mrs. Li lowered her head again, shyly remaining silent.
A slight smile appeared on Li Jian's lips. He glanced at the balcony, then got up and went over.
Mrs. Li was puzzled.
Li Jian walked to the balcony, unfolded a foldable table, and placed it on the balcony.
Then two chairs were placed on either side of the table.
The bottle of red wine sat quietly on the table, its deep red liquid gleaming alluringly under the light, as if waiting to be opened.
Li Jian turned to look at Mrs. Li, a gentle smile on his lips, and asked softly, "Ah Zhen, do you have wine glasses at home?"
His voice was deep and gentle, as if it possessed an irresistible magic.
Mrs. Li was slightly taken aback when she heard his question, and then a faint blush appeared on her face.
She nodded slightly, her voice so low it was almost inaudible: "Yes, I'll go get it."
She stood up and walked lightly toward the kitchen, her long, black hair swaying gently with her movements, the ends still slightly damp, making it look exceptionally smooth.
Her back view was slender and elegant, as if every step she took carried a unique charm.
A short while later, Mrs. Li returned with two crystal-clear red wine glasses.
Her fingers were slender and long as she gently held the stem of the cup and placed it on the table.
Her movements were gentle and delicate, as if she were handling a precious treasure.
Li Jian looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness. He gently picked up the wine bottle, skillfully uncorked it, and slowly poured the deep red wine into the glass.
The wine swirls in the glass, releasing a rich fruity aroma that seems to permeate the air.
He gently pushed a glass of red wine toward Mrs. Li, his voice deep and magnetic: "Ah Zhen, have a taste, this wine is very good."
Mrs. Li lowered her head slightly, looking at the swirling wine in her glass, a shy smile appearing on her face.
She gently picked up the wine glass, and the moment her fingertips touched the glass, a warmth seemed to spread from her fingertips to her heart.
She looked up and met Li Jian's gaze. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but in the end, she simply took a small sip of her drink and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"It's delicious," she said softly, her voice filled with satisfaction and tenderness.
Their eyes met in the air, and at that moment, all words seemed superfluous.
The aroma of red wine filled the air, adding a touch of romance and warmth to the night.
Li Jian took a sip of red wine and said, "Isn't it a pity to have wine but no fun?"
After hearing Li Jian's words, Mrs. Li said, "We don't have a karaoke machine at home, how about I turn on the TV?"
The thought of the dead old woman appearing on television prompted Mrs. Li to seal off the television in her home.
Li Jian laughed and said: No need for that, I'll show you a magic trick.
magic?
Mrs. Li immediately became interested and quietly waited for Li Jian to do something.
Li Jian spread his hands, his palms empty, a mysterious smile on his face. He looked at Mrs. Li and asked casually, "Ah Zhen, do you see that my hands are empty?"
Mrs. Li was slightly taken aback. Her gaze fell on his palm, and after examining it carefully, she nodded and said softly, "Yes, there's nothing there."
A smug smile appeared on Li Jian's lips, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
He said mysteriously, "Now, it's time to witness a miracle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly flipped his hand over, the movement fluid and skillful.
In that instant, an old-fashioned Walkman suddenly appeared in his palm, as if it had materialized out of thin air.
The surface of the Walkman has a faint metallic sheen, making it look both retro and exquisite.
Mrs. Li was so surprised by this sudden "magic trick" that her eyes widened, and a look of astonishment and curiosity appeared on her face.
Her lips parted slightly, her voice tinged with disbelief: "How...how did you do that?"
Seeing her surprised expression, Li Jian couldn't help but laugh, his tone tinged with pride: "How about that? Pretty impressive, right? This was my best trick when I was a kid. I never thought it would come in handy now."
Mrs. Li gently shook her head, a helpless smile appearing on her face, but her eyes were full of tenderness and appreciation.
She said softly, "You always manage to surprise people."
Li Jian gently placed the Walkman on the table, gazing tenderly at her: "Ah Zhen, life sometimes needs a little surprise and fun. I hope I can be the one to bring you joy."
Mrs. Li blushed again as she listened to his words.
She lowered her head, took a small sip of red wine, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, as if at that moment, her heart was also warmed by this small miracle.
Li Jian stored many small items in his spatial ring, much like Doraemon's magic pocket.
Li Jian gently pressed the play button on his Walkman, and a melodious tune slowly began to play, while Priscilla Chan's rich and soulful voice echoed in the air:
Looking back slowly, the nights that once belonged to each other...
Honghong, you are still the bright sun in my heart…
