Outside the house, Fu Yichen's tall figure shook violently.
He slowly stood up from the door panel, turned his head, and stared blankly at the light that came out from the small gap in the middle of the door panel.
Behind the door... was the warmth and light he wanted...
It seemed that everything was within reach. However, everything was pushed far away by his own hands... so far that it was out of reach...
Maybe…
He was destined to live in the cold past...
She had never had any obligation to help him during his gloomy years.
"That night was a mistake for you, and for me, too. That night, it destroyed all the peace in my life. Even, this mistake will follow me for the rest of my life!" Chi Weiyang sniffed, covered his chest, and forced himself to say more ruthless words, "I thought I might still love you, and still be obsessed with you. But this time you suddenly appeared in front of me, and I realized... It turns out that all the obsessions before were just unwillingness! You appeared in front of me, tried to please me, hugged me, and told me that you missed me, but I was no longer moved, but felt liberated and relieved... It turned out that my heart was just twisted because of the 'unrequited love' in the past. Now you are struggling to stay with me in front of me, and I feel bored. If you continue to cling to me, I will probably... start to get bored."
"..." Fu Yichen's hand pressed heavily on the door. His red, frozen fingers were shaking violently. "Is this... is this what you really mean?"
"It couldn't be more true. So... in order to keep the last bit of your goodness in my heart, can you please... from now on, we can be more generous and open to each other and just treat each other as ordinary friends, okay?"
friend…
What a cruel word...
This is a crueler word than 'stranger'...
If they were strangers, he could even imagine that maybe she still had some resentment in her heart; he could also imagine that to her, he was a little different.
However, my honest and open-minded "friend" shattered this pitiful fantasy...
He smiled.
Laughed till tears came out.
In the cold night, he looked desolate and sad.
We can’t be lovers, and we can’t go back to being friends, so we are embarrassed and in pain…
"See you later... Let's just be strangers..."
I thought he would never speak again, but I heard his voice faintly, "I don't have the confidence to be friends with you..."
Her breathing became heavier.
My fingers pinched into the flesh, but I didn't feel any pain.
No matter how much pain there is, it will never be as deep and unforgettable as the pain I feel in my heart now.
At this point, he doesn’t even want to be friends anymore…
Too.
He already has a wife and a child, and he is still befriending her. Isn't that asking for trouble? It's just making his wife more uncomfortable for no reason!
She is too greedy...
I greedily thought that their lives might have some intersection.
…
Fu Yichen left.
Step by step, walking on the snow, into the darkness without a trace of light.
He thought that from now on, there would be no more light in his life...
I don’t know how long it took…
The heavy door was slowly opened. Light shone from the door and hit the snow. She stared at the direction where the man left with a sad look, not moving for a long time...
Goodbye, Yichen...
Goodbye…
… … … … … …
Country S.
Xia Xingchen took Xia Dabai shopping in the mall.
To prevent the incident at Shi'an Mansion from happening again, she followed Bai Yeqing's example and wore a mask. But the driver was smart this time and followed them all the time, not daring to leave. He was always vigilant and looked around to beware of any suspicious people.
Xia Xingchen felt a little tired on days like this.
In fact, she never imagined that one day she would need to live so cautiously.
In the past, Ye Qing had to wear a mask when traveling. I guess he must have been very annoyed!
"Dabao, Dabao, candy, candy!" Xia Dabai couldn't move when he saw the beautiful candies.
The little feet danced and pointed at the beautiful store.
Xia Xingchen had a headache, "Why are you acting like a little girl?"
Hearing her say that, Xia Dabai was not happy, and said with a stern face, "I am thinking about you. Don't you want to make Xiaobai happy? Buy a few lollipops, it will definitely make Xiaobai happy."
Xia Xingchen said "huh" without giving any face, "If you want to eat it, then eat it yourself, why are you blaming Xiaobai?"
He stamped his feet. "So are you going to buy it or not?"
"Buy it!" Xia Xingchen nodded, and he trotted over.
Xia Dabai took five rainbow lollipops in one go. When Xia Xingchen paid the bill, she took the best-looking one from him. It was in the shape of a puppy. It was very similar to the "Xiaobai" in "Crayon Shin-chan".
It really suits him.
She thought with amusement.
However, she doubted whether this candy would really appease him if she gave it to him. She felt that it was very likely that he would become even more furious.
No matter what, she put it in her bag regardless.
I went to the mall and picked out a scarf for Mrs. Lanting and bought him a gray sweater.
It's not expensive, but when I think of him wearing this sweater, I can't help but be a little crazy about him. He has such a good figure, and he looks good in anything.
"Xia Xingchen?"
Just as I was swiping my card to pay, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
She frowned slightly.
Without turning around, I heard another unfamiliar voice asking, "Xia Xingchen? Could it be the Xia Xingchen whose nude photos have been making headlines online recently?"
"It's her." Lan Ye crossed his arms and looked at Xia Xingchen with disdain.
Xia Xingchen handed the card to the waiter, who obviously recognized her and looked her over and over.
"Pay the bill!" She reminded him, and he came back to his senses. "Yes, Miss Xia, right away."
Lan Ye glanced at the sweater in her hand and smiled, "Xia Xingchen, you didn't buy this cheap item to give to Ye Qing, did you? To be honest, Ye Qing's taste is not on the same level as yours."
Xia Xingchen lowered her head to look. All the items in Lan Ye's hands were designer items. They were definitely not of the same level as what she was holding.
She smiled, folded the sweater calmly, and put it neatly into the shopping bag. "I can't help it. He was indeed of high class before, but who made him want to marry me? I can only wrong him and let him lower his standards. He is happy with it, and Miss Lan is afraid that she can't get a word in."
Lan Ye's face froze when Xia Xingchen choked him like that.
But the next moment, he started to mock again: "Are you happy with it? Xia Xingchen, you are really amazing. You made Ye Qing wear a green hat from head to toe, and now you know that you are shameful and have to wear a mask? Ye Qing should have kicked you out of the Presidential Palace, right?"
