Her petite face was drained of all color and was ghastly pale, as if she was looking at a complete stranger.
An inexplicable panic suddenly crept into Lu Bancheng's heart, and he subconsciously averted his gaze, not daring to look her in the eye.
He felt the hand that was holding onto his shirt tremble violently, and a sharp pain shot through his chest. Then, as if he had been electrocuted, he abruptly pulled away the shirt that she was still holding onto and rushed out the door.
Because of his departure, the spacious apartment suddenly became exceptionally quiet and empty.
Xu Wennuan leaned against the wall of the changing room and stood there in a daze for a long time before she slowly came back to her senses.
Even though she knew that it was her psychological barrier that had dampened his mood, what he had said had truly hurt her.
Her father's sudden and serious illness had already made her feel terrible and afraid. What had happened tonight was like a fuse that caused her, who had always stubbornly refused to let herself cry, to suddenly feel a stinging sensation in her eyes.
This is his home. Even if I cry, I don't want to cry in his place … Xu Wennuan staggered out of the bedroom and headed straight for the bathroom. She picked up the clothes she had taken off in the shower and quickly put them on before hurrying out of Lu Bancheng's apartment.
Only when she walked out of Lu Bancheng's apartment building did Xu Wennuan's eyes slowly turn misty.
She walked down the street aimlessly as she thought about what to do about her father's illness.
I used to be so blissful, as if I had the entire world at my disposal, but how could that bliss disappear just like that? I've lost my love and my innocence, and now I'm going to lose my family as well?
Xu Wennuan felt as if a large hand had viciously clenched her heart, and the pain made it difficult for her to breathe.
She really wanted to be strong and not cry, but ultimately, she wasn't invincible.
She tried her best to hold back her tears, but they eventually turned into tears that trickled down her cheeks.
Most of the time, if you forced yourself not to cry, you wouldn't cry. But once you cried, your emotions would spill out, and you wouldn't be able to stop them.
The more Xu Wennuan cried, the sadder she became. Eventually, she cried so much that she couldn't walk. Like a helpless child, she stopped on the road in the middle of the night in a daze. Then, she slowly squatted down, buried her face in her knees, and sobbed.
…
Not far away, a black car was parked on the side of the road with its flashing lights.
Sitting in the car, Lu Bancheng stared fixedly at the girl who was squatting in front of him and crying her heart out.
He was clearly quite a distance away from her, and the car windows were all closed, but he could hear the clear sound of crying in his ears.
The cries were like numerous sharp blades that fiercely slashed his heart, and it hurt to the point his entire body stiffened and he was unable to breathe.
After an unknown period of time, Lu Bancheng gently blinked his eyes. He did not know when the girl by the roadside had left, but the place where she had just been squatting was empty.
However, he continued to stare fixedly at the spot where she had just been without moving or reacting.
It was only when the sky in the east began to brighten and the quiet city became noisy and the number of cars on the street increased that Lu Bancheng moved his body slightly and woke up.
