The next day.
It was just early seven o'clock, the sky was still early, and the morning light was faint.
Jiang Beiyuan kept his subconscious movements and reached out with his long arm to the side.
Empty, no one around.
Those dark eyes opened quickly.
Yan Nian was neither on the bed nor in the room.
Jiang Beiyuan frowned, casually put on a coat, got out of bed, and walked through each room with bare feet.
Guest room, study room, kitchen, gym, small screening room, dressing room...
He even looked for the swimming pool and garden outside, but found none.
The slender figure shuttled around every corner, panting as he ran. His dark eyes were not as calm and self-possessed as before, but were replaced by anxiety and panic.
"Nian Nian!"
He was like a child who couldn't find an adult. A thin layer of sweat trickled down his forehead and along his delicate jawline. The clothes in front of him were already soaked.
There was movement at the entrance.
Jiangbeiyuan quickly turned his eyes and looked over.
The little woman wrapped in a huge black down jacket looked a little bloated. She was holding a shopping bag in her hand and was changing shoes at the entrance.
Jiangbeiyuan walked over without saying a word and held the person in his arms.
Tight.
"Where have you been?" His voice was hoarse, very low, deep and uneasy.
Yan Nian pursed his lips, then raised his arms, "I saw there was no yogurt at home, so I went to buy some..."
"Is the supermarket open at seven o'clock?"
"Well, the supermarket on Center Street is open 24 hours a day."
The fastest taxi ride from Funan Villa to Zhongxin Street is half an hour, and the round trip takes an hour.
So how early does she get up
"I'll just buy it from now on. Just stay at home and don't go out when it's cold."
“…”
Yan Nian said nothing, entered the living room, and placed a bag of yogurt on the coffee table in the living room.
After a long time, he turned his back to Jiang Beiyuan and said in a low voice, "I want to go out and relax."
“…”
silence.
Deathly silence.
It was so silent that you could hear the ticking of the clock on the wall.
That's time flowing.
What flows seems to be more than just time.
Yu Li heard the noise, came out of his room, lay down at the door, and looked at Yan Nian and Jiang Beiyuan, who were separated by a long distance.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the man moved his thin lips and broke the silence first:
"How many days?"
As smart as he is.
Yan Nian: "I don't know..."
“…”
Deathly silence again.
Jiang Beiyuan clenched his fists hanging by his side, then dropped them again. His joints turned white, and his brows were solemn and deep.
It was a kind of transparent sadness that fell from his shoulders to the ground, flooding his whole body.
"Then go and remember to come back when you have figured it out."
"Thanks."
"unnecessary."
"oh."
Yan Nian went to the locker room.
She took a few pieces of close-fitting clothes and put them in the bag, then went into the bedroom and put the wedding ring and the necklace Jiang Beiyuan gave her on her birthday in a box like treasures.
When Yan Nian came out of the bedroom, he found Jiang Beiyuan still standing at the junction of the entrance hall and the living room.
He leaned there, like a petrified statue, standing still, his handsome face tightened into a bow, and there was no unnecessary expression on his face.
Yan Nian lowered his head.
She didn't look at him again.
When I passed by him, I was suddenly grabbed by his arm.
"Forget it, don't leave, I'll leave, otherwise where else can you go."
"Ding Baoyi's home."
"… Snapped."
Jiangbeiyuan let go of his hand and fell straight down.
Her last hope was shattered by her words.
Then she really left.
