You're My Only Star

Huo Yun Chen was restless throughout the journey back to Capital City. The trip from T City to Capital City only took around an hour and a half but this was the longest hour and a half in his life.

A breath of relief escaped him once the flight finally ended. Without bothering about anything else, Huo Yun Chen ran out of the arrival hall and headed over to the international departing hall.

Worried that something might happen to him, Brother Xiang could only follow him closely.

Fortunately, Huo Yun Chen had put on his disguise in the flight and avoided being recognized.

Huo Yun Chen raised his head to look at the screen. His eyes were scanning the schedule intently. Once he saw that the flight to F Country had not left yet, Huo Yun Chen finally let out a breath of relief.

But still... this does not mean that he can relax just yet.

He ran towards the hall but was stopped by the security from going in. Just as he was about to argue with them, a man dressed in a black suit stepped forward and asked, "Are you, Mr. Huo?"

"Yes." Huo Yun Chen answered impatiently.

"Then, follow me."

Huo Yun Chen stared at the man in puzzled. He watched as the man whispered a few words to the security and was finally let into the hall.

He recalled the departure hall to Xia Yu's flight and ran towards the place.

His heart was at ease when he saw that there were still many people around the place. They haven't gone into the flight yet.

Huo Yun Cen scanned the area to look for Xia Yu. He was walking around frantically, causing the people around him to look at him in suspicion.

His heart tightened when he could not see her.

Huo Yun Chen muttered a string of cursing words. If he could not find her today, then he would be heartbroken. He was not willing to let her go, feeling aggrieved with this situation.

Just as he thought that perhaps, he had gotten himself in the wrong departure hall, his gaze finally fell on the woman who was sitting alone in the corner.

He had almost missed her because she had her head lowered with a book in her hand, Huo Yun Chen took a few deep breaths as he looked at her. Seeing that it was indeed his girlfriend, Huo Yun Chen finally felt at ease.

With slow and steady steps, he approached her. Then, he stood in front of her, blocking the light and waiting for her to look up.

Noticing that someone was standing in front of her, Xia Yu finally tilted her head up slowly. A hint of surprise appeared on her face as she saw Huo Yun Chen in front of her.

Sweat trailed down his face and he was panting to catch up his breath.

No. Why was he here?

Xia Yu stood up in a daze and the moment she did, she was suddenly pulled into his embrace. His familiar scent filled her nostril. Because her face was pressed to his chest, Xia Yu could hear his heartbeat thumping very fast. Xia Yu realized that the person in front of her was really Huo Yun Chen.

Before she left for the airport, Xia Yu heard that Huo Yun Chen was still stuck in the woods.

She had wanted to wait for him but seeing how those people continuously scold her on the internet made her sad. Xia Yu did not expect that the people would be so fierce. They made her insecure and she began to question whether she was worthy of staying by Huo Yun Chen's side.

Thinking that it would probably be a while before he would return to Capital City, Xia Yu decided to head to F Country first to give herself time to calm down. She did not expect that Huo Yun Chen would appear in front of her.

"Where are you going?" Huo Yun Chen's voice was a little hoarse. "Xia Yu, why are you leaving? Don't you... love me anymore?"

Her heart tightened upon hearing his questions. Her mind whirled to think of how to answer him. Xia Yu had even considered spouting some nonsense so that he would let her go and went back to his life.

She thought that even if they would break up, she would not feel regret. Being with him for the past few months were the happiest time in her life. At least, she could look back and think of those happy memories with him.

However, now that the man was in front of her, Xia Yu realized that she was not willing to let him go. She loved him more than she had thought.

"I'm sorry." Her voice choked up. "But Huo Yun Chen, I'm a coward. When I saw those people scolding me online and how they had disturbed the people around me, I just thought that I could not take it anymore. I was scared."

It was so scary without having him by her side. Xia Yu really did not know how did Huo Yun Chen had faced those reporters and fans previously. The only thing that was on her mind was to escape.

Even though Song Xing Xing had persuaded her to stay, Xia Yu could only hold on for a short time. Then, when she heard how those people had scolded her again, she became disheartened again.

Seeing how some of them had said that she would ruin his career made her heart grow cold.

Huo Yun Chen was her brightest star on stage. She did not want to ruin his life. She had thought that leaving would be the best decision.

A sigh escaped him. Huo Yun Chen could not help but tightened his hold around her body.

"I know what happened. I know you were feeling aggrieved. But Xia Yu, don't leave me alright? Let's discuss things together, hmm? What am I going to do without you by my side?"

Xia Yu lowered her eyes and realized that her tears started to fall. "I don't want to be a bother."

"You will never be a bother." He lowered his head to kiss the top of her head. "Don't listen to their nonsense. You are never going to be the reason for my career to end. I have been in this industry for a long time. I had clear conscience and had never done anything that could question my morals. It would not be easy to end my career just like that."

Her lips quivered. Xia Yu wanted to say something but the words were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

"Xia Yu, don't be scared. Trust me, alright? I will protect you and make things alright." Huo Yun Chen hugged the person in his embrace tightly, not wanting to let her go even for a second. His hand moved along her spine as he continued to coax her.

After a long time, Xia Yu finally nodded.
