Lu Bancheng's heart was filled with a sense of indignation. He never knew that he had such dark thoughts in his bones.
Since she can't love me, I might as well hate me. After all, hate is also a feeling, and it's better than ignoring me as if nothing happened, right?
At this thought, Lu Bancheng suddenly looked at Xu Wennuan. "Move out of my place."
Xu Wennuan stopped in her tracks and stood with her back to him awkwardly. She did not speak.
"I'll contact you if my parents need anything." Lu Bancheng stared unblinkingly at Xu Wennuan's back for a while. Unable to face her calmness and composure, he shifted his gaze away and said, "After all, we're both adults, and we all have our own adult social circles. This will save me from inconveniences when I come home."
After a pause, Lu Bancheng added, "Just like last night."
The room was silent for about a minute before Xu Wennuan turned around and said simply with a calm expression, "Okay."
Her decisiveness made Lu Bancheng's lips curl up into a faint smile.
That's right. I was the one who had initially asked her to move in with me because I had given her a million dollars.
She had never been willing to stay in his house, and now that I've asked her to move out, I'm sure she's overjoyed.
Lu Bancheng wasn't sure if he was making things difficult for her or if he was making things difficult for himself. It was clear that the more he made things difficult for her, the more he would suffer in the end. However, he still said, "Alright then. Pack up tomorrow …"
"No need." Before Lu Bancheng could finish speaking, Xu Wennuan quietly interrupted him. "I'll pack up and leave now."
Lu Bancheng nodded his head a few times before he finally said, "Okay. Remember to pack everything up at once. I don't want to see you come over to take your things for nothing."
Xu Wennuan did not speak and strode into the guest bedroom.
After a while, Lu Bancheng heard the sound of a suitcase being unzipped, followed by the sound of things being rummaged through.
He stood in the living room and listened for a while before he bent down to pick up the paper bag she had placed on the floor and entered the master bedroom.
He closed the door and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling fixedly.
He didn't sleep at all last night, so he was really tired now, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
After an unknown amount of time, he heard the sound of a box being pulled outside the door. His fingertips on the bed trembled slightly, but he remained in the same position as before.
He heard the sound of the shoe cabinet being opened. She was probably taking out her shoes. Lu Bancheng closed his eyes and gripped the bedsheets tightly.
The door was pushed open and then closed.
His ears were completely quiet, but Lu Bancheng felt empty in his heart.
He raised his hand and clutched his chest. After a moment of silence, he got up and walked barefooted to the window.
Through the window, he saw her struggling to drag two boxes out of the building.
Perhaps because there were too many things and the box was heavy, her steps were unsteady.
A long, long time after her figure disappeared into the night, he looked down at his bare feet. After a while, he turned back into the house, grabbed his car keys, and left the house.
When he exited the underground parking lot and was about to make a left turn, he saw Xu Wennuan sitting on her suitcase in the rearview mirror, her head lowered as she talked on the phone.
