Shi Guang took a taxi and left hmoc. However, she did not head straight for home. Instead, she got down halfway through at a supper barbeque stall.
There, she ordered some barbeque skewers and a small bottle of wine.
Her figure spelled loneliness from head to toe while her eyes were slightly reddened. Despite that, she was wearing a huge smile on her face, causing her fair countenance to shine out with that smile, looking charming as ever.
She raised the wine to her lips and thought for a moment before putting it down.
No matter how tough life got, she would stay firm with her convictions and confidence.
Shi Guang then headed back after finishing her skewers.
…
In that silent villa, she found out that the shards of her broken cup had already been cleaned up while Lu Yanchen was not around in the villa. Where had he gone to?
Her mind could not help but flash out with the images of Lu Yanchen consoling her earlier on today. She did not know if it was a moment of impulse or anything more, but she picked up her phone and called Lu Yanchen.
When the connected ringing tone rang out, she found her heart skipping particularly fast. Even though they had been staying together in the villa for the past few days, she and Lu Yanchen had been living their own lives, without bothering or asking about the schedules of the other party.
Wasn’t it too weird for her to call him out of the blue all of a sudden?
Suddenly coming to her senses, Shi Guang wanted to put down the call. However, Lu Yanchen had already picked up. Even though the call was connected, he did not say anything.
Listening to his gentle breathing through the phone, Shi Guang felt her heart being stuck at her throat. In that moment, she too found herself incapable of expressing herself through speech, not knowing what she should say.
There was a mysterious magnetic field that was forming in the silence between them, pulling them toward one another.
After a split moment, Shi Guang eased her emotions and spoke first,
You’re out?
Because he had consoled her, she would show him some concern by making a call to him. This meant nothing at all.
Lu Yanchen was sitting in his car parked beside a tree at the roadside.
The lights from the passing cars flashed by his car one after another, illuminating an unclear figure in the dim shadows of the car. However, no matter how unclear it was, those deep eyes of his were still cold and distant as ever.
When he heard her voice, he leaned back onto his chair, allowing himself to sink into the darkness. Closing his eyes, he replied with a single word.
Yeah.
Shi Guang was tongue-tied, not knowing what else to say.
He was really the Terminator of Conversations.
…
After yet another moment of silence, she moved her lips. Just as she was about to asking something else, he spoke first,
If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up first.
Shi Guang was stunned for a moment.
Yeah.
Without even getting the chance to say goodbye, he had already hung up the call.
Shi Guang frowned; he was always so cold, distant, and direct in his words. But for some unknown reason, she could just feel that he was really unhappy right now.
Weren’t things all fine earlier…?
Shi Guang heaved in a deep breath of air as she patted herself on both cheeks. What was she thinking all about?
What had it got to do with her whether or not he was happy?
It wasn’t like she was anyone for him…
…
After Lu Yanchen hung up, he threw his phone onto the seat beside him casually. His lips were pursed as he gazed ahead with a pair of sunken eyes. Stepping on his pedal, he drove on ahead.
In the dark of the night, that jeep streaked by everyone just like a swordfish. It didn’t take long before his phone rang out again.
Ring, Ring.
Ring, Ring.
By the time it came to the third call, he swerved on his steering wheel and made an emergency stop by the side of the roads.
When the call connected, Chu Mubei’s displeased voice came over from the other end,
What are you doing? Why did you take so long to pick up?
What?
Didn’t you ask me to check for that signal jammer? I’ve already found out. You wanna guess who it was?
Yang Sitong.
Is Lu Yanchen upset because of Shi Guang saying that she had no feelings for him anymore to Yang Sidan? Did he hear that? :/
