"Still not asleep?" Luo Yibei glanced at her lightly.
"Yeah." Fang Chixia replied to him.
"Wash up and go to bed early." Luo Yibei said lightly to her, then turned and went to the bathroom.
Fang Chixia's eyes followed his figure, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she lay on her bed.
Luo Yibei walked out of the bathroom a few minutes later. After coming out, he lifted the sheets and went to bed. He didn't even say anything extra to her, and seemed to be ready to sleep directly.
Fang Chixia turned her head and glanced at him with closed eyes. She couldn't explain what she felt in her heart, it was sour and astringent.
One night, she couldn't sleep.
Early the next morning, while sitting at the dining table, Luo Yibei happened to come down from upstairs and seemed to be preparing to go out.
"Are you going out?" Fang Chixia greeted him.
"Yeah." Luo Yibei responded to her lightly.
"Don't you need breakfast?" Fang Chixia reminded.
"No, I'll be back before dinner." Luo Yibei simply explained and left.
Rong Xi was in the state-owned business. Fang Chixia guessed that he was busy with the company and didn't ask any more questions.
However, looking at his figure without looking back, the already depressed mood sank to the bottom.
When his figure was about to disappear in the garden, she reminded, "This year's seventh anniversary has not even passed yet!"
Her voice was neither high nor low, and she seemed to be complaining.
The villa where the two lived was very quiet, so quiet that the only sound was the wind blowing the falling snow.
Luo Yibei seemed to hear it, and his footsteps paused.
Fang Chixia looked in his direction from the corner of her eyes, staring at his back quietly, observing his reaction calmly.
However, he just stopped for a moment, then moved on and continued walking.
The spoon in Fang Chixia's hand dropped to the plate with a thud, and her heart was sour.
For breakfast later, facing the table full of food, she lost any appetite.
During the day, she went to class as usual and came back an hour early after class.
She thought he would come back, and the hour in advance was to prepare for the evening.
She had reminded him, and she thought that he would at least have a dinner with her, or the two of them would celebrate in some other way.
However, what disappointed Fang Chixia was that there was no celebration, Luo Yibei had promised to come back at the dinner time, but after six o'clock, no one even saw a shadow!
Fang Chixia sat on the open-air balcony of the room, staring at the falling snowflakes in the air, her chest feeling sore and swollen.
Luo Yibei came back at ten o'clock, and Chen Xi and Xiao Yi had already gone to bed.
When he entered the house and saw her sitting alone on the balcony, he was stunned for a moment.
"Why don't you come in?"
"Thinking about something." Fang Chixia replied lightly.
"It's cold outside." Luo Yibei reminded.
"Yeah." Fang Chixia just responded to him and had no intention of coming in.
Luo Yibei casually took off his coat, walked towards her, and put it on her shoulders.
"Wear more clothes." With that, he turned and went to the bathroom.
When he was about to reach the door, Fang Chixia's voice sounded again, "I thought you would come back for dinner tonight!"
"We encountered some problems in business and just solved them." Luo Yibei stopped and explained.
"Really?" Fang Chixia's lips twitched mockingly and didn't ask any more questions.
It turns out that the seven years she spent with him were not worth a business...
