After that day, Ling Han did not show up at the apartment building for three consecutive days.
When Ji Xiaoyue came back from the supermarket with a large bag of daily necessities, she deliberately glanced at the camphor tree. When she saw that there was still no one, she felt a little frustrated and muttered, "What kind of person is he? I've only waited for a few days. Has it been two weeks? He gave up just like that. Yan Yan shouldn't be with this kind of person. He doesn't have any patience at all. What a jerk. "
Just as she was muttering to herself, a shadow blocked the streetlight from behind her.
A familiar scent made her back stiffen slightly. She slowly turned around and said with some difficulty, "You're here."
Gu Sinian smiled. "Have you been busy the past two days?"
Ji Xiaoyue avoided his gaze and nodded slightly. Before he could ask further, she stuffed a large bag of groceries into his hands and said hurriedly, "I just remembered that I have something to do. Take these things upstairs."
When she saw Gu Sinian come back with a large bag of daily necessities, Ye Huanyan looked at the sanitary napkins that were exposed at the corner of the translucent shopping bag. A look of surprise flashed across her eyes. "You bought these?"
He put down the bag. "I bumped into Xiao Yue downstairs. Has she been getting off work this late for the past two days?"
Ye Huanyan nodded. Then she seemed to recall something and asked, "What did you say to Sister Yulin the other day when I had dinner with her?"
Gu Sinian had a complicated look in his eyes. "I said that I wouldn't be coming back after we returned to the States."
Ye Huanyan was stunned when she heard this. "Did you make it clear to her?"
"I guess so."
Ye Huanyan did not understand what Gu Sinian meant by "I guess so". When Ji Xiaoyue came back that night, she could not help but ask her about it.
Ji Xiaoyue's version of events differed from Gu Sinian's.
After hearing Ji Xiaoyue's version of events, Ye Huanyan finally understood what Gu Sinian meant by "I guess so".
"He said he likes me." Ji Xiaoyue was a little hesitant. She kept twisting the hem of her pajamas and nestled on the sofa with a look of discomfort. "He asked me what I thought."
"What?" Ye Huanyan was a little confused.
Ji Xiaoyue sighed. "He said that he wouldn't come back after returning to America, so he asked me to think about it myself."
Hearing this, Ye Huanyan was infuriated. "What are you talking about?! Isn't this playing with your feelings? "
Ji Xiaoyue frowned. "Don't talk about your brother like that. He is your brother after all."
Seeing how submissive she was, Ye Huanyan said in annoyance, "Ji Xiaoyue, listen up. Gu Sinian is my brother, not yours. You don't have to be so polite to him."
Ye Huanyan was really angry. Previously, Gu Sinian had promised her that he wouldn't provoke Ji Xiaoyue if he didn't want to take responsibility. Of all the people he could provoke, he had to provoke her only best friend.
"I'll call him myself and tell him that he's bullying me. Isn't this —"
Before Ye Huanyan could make the call, Ji Xiaoyue snatched the phone away.
She looked at Ye Huanyan with a pitiful expression. "Yan Yan, I think your brother is actually giving me a chance. Perhaps, perhaps, he will change his mind before we leave."
"You're crazy." Ye Huanyan stared at her in disbelief. "You really want to be with him? Just a few months before we return to America? Then what about after we leave? What do you plan to do? "
Ji Xiaoyue looked bitter. "Can I not think about what will happen in the future?"
"Xiao Yue —"
"Don't scold me. Look at yourself. You're the same. Can you really forget about Ling Han? You've been going to the window a lot these past two days, but he didn't come at all. "
Ye Huanyan's face stiffened slightly. Looking at her, she was exasperated at her failure to live up to expectations.
But what she said was the truth. If she couldn't do it herself, how could she force others to do it?
"Forget it. I'm not going to care about you anymore."
Ye Huanyan lifted the blanket and climbed into bed. She picked up a novel beside the bed and started reading. Late at night, Ji Xiaoyue breathed evenly beside her and murmured Gu Sinian's name.
Ye Huanyan pulled the blanket over her and got out of bed to drink some water.
When she came back, she couldn't help but walk to the window. Under the gap in the curtains, she saw the camphor tree.
He really didn't come again.
There were many heartless people in the world. Many times, Ye Huanyan also hoped that she could be cold-blooded and heartless. She even envied Sheng Anran for doing anything to achieve his goal. At least he was not as timid as she was.
The next morning, Ji Xiaoyue got up and went to work. After making up, she went to the balcony to find clothes.
"I have a dinner party in the company today. I won't come back for dinner tonight. Don't wait for me."
Ye Huanyan nestled in bed, looked at the direction of the balcony with sleepy eyes, and answered in a muffled voice.
Recently, she had insomnia and slept late at night. She was too sleepy in the morning and got up late. Her biological clock was in chaos.
Suddenly, Ji Xiaoyue exclaimed on the balcony, "What the …"
Immediately, the sound of opening the curtains came into Ye Huanyan's ears. The strong sunlight shone on her face, making her frown and pull the quilt to block the sunlight.
Through the quilt, she heard Ji Xiaoyue shouting, "Ling Han is here again. He's standing downstairs. Yan Yan, do you want to see?"
Under the quilt, Ye Huanyan's body stiffened, and she was not sleepy at all.
Ji Xiaoyue stood by the bed and saw that there was no reaction on the bed at all. She was stunned for a few seconds. "You really don't want to see? His arm is in a cast hanging around his neck. It seems that your brother hit him that day. "
There was still no movement on the bed.
Ji Xiaoyue shrugged as if she was talking to the air. Her voice gradually went away.
"I don't care. Anyway, it wasn't me. I'm leaving first. It's too late to go to work."
After saying this, she heard the sound of the door closing in the living room.
Ye Huanyan instantly threw the quilt aside and hurriedly jumped off the bed and walked toward the balcony. Her footsteps were very hurried.
She pulled the curtains open. Under the glaring sunlight, the tall and straight man was still standing in the same spot where he always stood. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants. He stood there without moving like a statue.
There was no arm hanging around his neck like Ji Xiaoyue had said.
Ye Huanyan was in a daze when a sweet voice suddenly came from the living room. "Aiya, I didn't take my bag. I really have to go."
Ji Xiaoyue was leaning against the door and looked at her meaningfully. "Yan Yan, what secrets do you think you have with me? If you can't let go, then you can't. If you ask me, you should just give him the cold shoulder for a few days and see if he's sincere about changing his ways. It'll be fine as long as he changes. "
During this period of time, Ji Xiaoyue had heard a lot of things outside.
For example, Ye Huanyan's name had been kept in the position of the Secretary of Pleasure and Pleasure. During the half year of her "resignation", Ye Huanyan still paid for the insurance, housing and social insurance. Even her salary was still paid in the salary card as usual. The card was handed over to her by Su Mang the day before.
Another example was that Su Nianhua came to their community every two or three days to please them. The photos put on the Internet by passers-by were deleted before they could spread. Ye Huanyan's information had never been exposed.
Another example was that Sheng Enran had moved away from Fujin Court. Since Ye Huanyan had a miscarriage, Ling Han had not been involved with any woman.
In these three days, the reason why Ling Han didn't come was that his spinal nerves were injured by Gu Sinian and he was in a coma in the hospital for three days.
