I met Hu Ling when I left the hospital.

We are enemies on the road, and I am ready to turn my nose up and laugh it off.

However, Hu Ling didn't seem to want me to live like this.

"An Yue! Let's talk..."

"I don't think we have anything to talk about?" I walked by calmly, but I had a premonition in my heart.

"Yes! Believe me... An Yue... we have a lot to talk about..."

After my last defeat against Hu Ling, I had a traumatic experience about being alone with Hu Ling.

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Don't you dare?" Hu Ling shouted from behind.

I shrugged and nodded shamelessly, "Yeah... I'm a coward, I just don't dare..." But, what can that do to me

I guess Hu Ling was speechless, but I admire her patience, "An Yue... coffee shop... it's near the hospital... let's talk..."

In the end, Hu Ling and I went.

Because she was so shameless, when she saw that I was not moved, she actually came over and hugged my waist.

God knows this is an age where moral principles have no bottom line and nobody knows where they are. When seeing two women hugging each other, everyone smiles knowingly, indicating that they understand each other very well.

I was really fed up with this crazy woman Hu Ling. In the end, I had no choice but to agree.

I haven't seen Hu Ling for a long time, and he seems much more haggard.

I was so happy that I ordered a cup of hot milk tea and put away my smile.

"If you have to fart, do it now! I'm busy!"

Hu Ling looked at me straight, so we were looking at each other closely. While Hu Ling was looking at me, I was also observing this woman.

This legendary woman is somewhat similar to An Ran.

but…

After looking at her, I found that she looked more like me. Although Anran and I both looked like our father, I still had some of my mother's beauty in my features, while Anran's features were much deeper.

And Hu Ling is obviously more like me...

This thought made me feel a little sick, and my brows slowly furrowed. "Hey! It's okay, I'm leaving now!"

Perhaps my threat worked. Hu Ling withdrew his sinister gaze and said in a cold voice, "Why are you in the hospital? How could you..."

God knows, I hate being a mistress the most and being so self-righteous about it.

I puffed out my chest and sneered, "Is this hospital owned by your family? It's none of your business whether I come or not!"

"Are you here to see Zhuo Yang? He was secretly discharged from the hospital last night! Is it because of you?"

Hu Ling asked several questions in a row. I could see that she was very excited and her whole body seemed to be about to pounce on me.

But…

I don't understand, isn't this obvious? Why does she have to ask again?!

I have packed my bag and am ready to leave.

"Zhuo Yang won't love you! He can't possibly love you!" Hu Ling's voice suddenly became louder from behind, "You know nothing! The bond between him and me is much deeper than you, An Yue, think... Don't think... Don't think that he is coming to you now because he loves you... It's impossible... A woman like you..."

"Wait..." I interrupted Hu Ling's threat and affectionate confession, "Don't say things that you don't even believe... What happened between you and Zhuo Yang has nothing to do with me... I don't care how Zhuo Yang treats you... I don't want to know about the mess that happened between you two... I just want to tell you one thing... Instead of wasting your time on me, you might as well open your thighs and clamp the man!" This is the right way.

I have to applaud myself, I said it so well.

Hu Ling suddenly collapsed and dropped all the teacups on the table. The clear glass cups shattered to the ground, making a crisp and harsh sound.

"Don't be so proud! I won't let you take him away! He will never love you! He will never love the murderer who killed Sister An Ran!"

Oh shit!

It would be fine if Hu Ling didn’t mention An Ran, but when he did, I got angry.

"What happened between An Ran and I has nothing to do with you." Don't condemn me as if you know the whole truth.

After venting her anger, Hu Ling seemed to calm down. She supported herself with her hands and her demeanor became somewhat aggressive.

"What's wrong? Did I hit a sore spot? Are you scared?"

I interrupted her without any hesitation, "You seem to be overthinking... I've said it before... You have no right to interfere in An Ran and I..."

Hu Ling's face turned red and white, and finally returned to calm.

The beautiful woman held her face in her hands, and tears slowly slid down her fingertips for a long time.

"Why doesn't he understand... Even if he loves An Ran... Even if I'm just a substitute... I'm willing to stay by his side... Why doesn't he understand?"

I once thought that Hu Ling attached herself to Zhuo Yang probably because of his identity and family background.

But now it seems that this woman is really in love with Zhuo Yang, which is a bit similar to my past self.

Hu Ling cried miserably, but I had no interest in listening to her complaints.

After paying the bill, he left.

Stand-in? She even said that. What's so good about that... Is it really so happy to live in the shadow of another person all your life in the name of love

I've been through this, so I really dislike Hu Ling.

Because in her, I saw the same foolish self I once was.

Zhuoyang never came to my house again after that day.

Li Si came here several times, and the topic was roughly the same every time.

Zhuo Yang was dying and begged me to go and see him.

I laughed, doesn't that mean he's not dead yet

Soon, the New Year is over and it's time to go back to work.

Just a few days after starting work, Zhuo Yang came again.

However, this time I came with Li Si.

I had no intention of letting him in, and I leaned against the door, feeling very impatient.

"You look much better?"

Strange... When I said this, Zhuo Yang's eyes lit up, and his voice was hoarse but obviously full of joy, "Is... is that so?"

I nodded and said to him seriously: "Yes... But do you have something to do? If not, you can go away..."

Zhuo Yang's face changes faster than the weather.

It was cloudy and then cleared up a second ago, but now it was raining heavily and rapidly.

"An Yue! Do you really want to force me? Do you really want to..."

Bang-

What a lot of nonsense.

I closed the door, and at the same time, I also closed Zhuo Yang's shouting.

Sure enough, Zhuo Yang did not leave. He banged on the door, "An Yue! Open the door for me! Open the door!"

I leaned against the door and excitedly took a cup of black tea. I wanted to see how far this man wanted to go.

Zhuo Yang yelled a few words, and it seemed that his internal injuries were not severe, and he started coughing violently again.

Then, Li Si's voice came in, "Boss... Don't be like this... Boss... Calm down..."

Oh... What a gentle and eloquent flower! If it were me, I would definitely keep this charming flower in my pocket.

but-

Zhuo Yang obviously had no pity for this delicate flower, and just knocked on my door frantically, "An Yue! Don't forget! This house is mine... I can take it back at any time... An Yue... open the door for me... cough cough... An Yue..."

Zhuo Yang's IQ has become extremely low since he fell ill. He used to be a cold and ruthless CEO, but now he is just an unreasonable hooligan.

Do you think I care? I have hands and feet, I can support myself, I am not afraid of a bird.

Seeing that I remained unmoved, Zhuo Yang coughed even louder.

I think his entire lungs were about to be coughed out. It must be so painful.

Mixed in was Li Si's soothing voice.

"Boss... don't be like this... you still have a fever..."

"No... I want An Yue... An Yue come out..."

"Boss... it's not like that... If you force her like this... she won't come out... Have you forgotten? She is no longer your former wife... She is no longer the wife who was obedient in your palm... She flew away..."

I didn't expect Li Si to know me so well. I also didn't expect Zhuo Yang to be so obedient. After hearing what Li Si said, the crazy voice outside the door stopped and slowly returned to calm.

I think, no matter what the reason, Zhuo Yang, the plague god, left.

Actually... Zhuo Yang is pretty cute when he's sick. Especially when he has a high fever.

When we were in the mountains before, Zhuo Yang also had a high fever. His face was flushed red and he leaned weakly in your arms, as obedient as a child.

And, most importantly, when he had a fever, he became very dependent on me, always hugging me and calling me An Yue An Yue An Yue…

Sometimes I feel a little strange. Doesn't he hate me? Doesn't he want to pay attention to me? But why does he call me An Yue like a good baby and hold me tightly

Later I thought it was because I was often around and it was easy to use, so he got used to it and remembered it.

It’s just that Zhuoyang had a high fever too rarely and relied on me too rarely.

For the most part, he is still the cold and heartless Zhuo Yang.

However, recalling the past makes me feel a little complicated.

It turns out... memories are not all bitter, there is also a faint sweetness.

It’s just because there are so many bitter things that I forgot that there are such sweet times.

A few days after the Zhuoyang incident, my life gradually returned to normal. In the first month of the year, the studio was not busy, and I could live a normal nine-to-five life.

But that day, I came home and found that I had a new neighbor.

I am a typical homebody and I am not very familiar with my neighbors. If I remember correctly, this is my third neighbor.

I didn't plan to go and see who my new neighbor was. I thought, whether it was a mule or a horse, he would come out for a walk sooner or later.

Besides, what bothers me a little bit these days is that Li Chen always comes to eat for free with a series of excuses such as shaking his back, leg cramps, etc.

Although he would buy groceries, I was also very unhappy that he always came over like this.

"How long do you want to hold out... what about your big-breasted girlfriends..."

Li Chen ate the egg fried rice in the bowl without looking up, "We're done."

"Then you can't always come to see me... It will cause misunderstandings..."

Li Chen licked his lips and seemed very satisfied.

"I don't mind."

“…” I fell! I’m the only one who minds, okay!

Just when I was about to make a strong accusation and decided to kick this man out without considering his face, Li Chen suddenly looked at my neighbor next to me and said something in a low voice.

“Who is your neighbor?”
