"Hualian?" Lian He's gift fell to the ground with a clang.
The person he thought he'd never see again in his life was standing right in front of him. Lian He was both shocked and excited. He quickly stepped forward, took Zhang Hualian's hand, and stammered, "I'm sorry, Hualian, I...you...didn't Hua Feng say you had married and moved away?"
"I came to Shuanghe Town to find you, I..."
Lian He had so much to say but didn't know where to start.
"Let go." Tang Zhengde didn't care who Lian He was; holding Zhang Hualian's hand, his wife's hand, was unacceptable to him.
Tang Zhengde forcefully pried Lian He's hands off, protectively positioned Zhang Hualian behind him, and looked at Lian He defensively, asking, "Who are you? Don't you know there should be boundaries between men and women?"
While holding Zhang Hualian's hand, Tang Zhengde rubbed it, seemingly trying to wipe off Lian He's touch.
