Sheng Yize's expression turned cold as he watched the little girl in front of him cheering. His fingers trembled and his voice trembled, "Is that all you wanted to say to me?"
"Yes, yes!" An Xiaxia nodded seriously.
Sheng Yize felt like his heart was on a roller coaster, falling from the peak to the bottom.
He had planned to... confess.
Even though he thought it was ridiculous, even though his motive for getting close to An Xiaxia wasn't pure, he had always been someone who followed his heart.
Because he liked her, so he confessed, so he wanted to be with her, so he wanted to use his boyfriend's identity to treat her well.
But...
He had always been conceited, ever since he was young, and he had the right to be conceited.
But when it came to relationships, he was a complete blank.
So he forgot the most important thing...
Everything was just his wishful thinking. Did An Xiaxia have feelings for him?
Obviously not.
Otherwise, why would she resist his kiss? Otherwise, why would she avoid him? Otherwise, why would she do everything she could to cut ties with him...
He suddenly felt like he was a joke.
He clearly didn't understand love, but he still wanted to do it. In the end, before he could even take a step forward, there was a bottomless cliff in front of him.
His silence made An Xiaxia uneasy. An Xiaxia bit her fingers and called out softly, "Sheng Yize, what's wrong..."
Sheng Yize looked at her calmly for a while. His dark eyes were like the abyss, with a captivating light.
In the end, he just curled his lips in self-mockery, "No need, An Xiaxia. Our contract is over."
"What?" An Xiaxia was shocked.
The contract that had troubled her for so long, how could it be over just like that?
"You've already done a lot for me, I'm very satisfied, so let's call it a day." Sheng Yize's voice was emotionless, "Or, you can treat it as me breaking the contract."
An Xiaxia blinked and nodded in a daze.
Sheng Yize's Adam's apple bobbed. He looked straight into her bright eyes, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
He went downstairs and left, leaving An Xiaxia in a daze.
An Xiaxia furrowed her brows. Why did Sheng Yize's heart thump so hard after he said he was done with her?

When he returned to the second floor, the dining table was already filled with delicacies.
An Yibei's culinary skills were excellent, but he did not show them off easily. Hence, he received a lot of praise for his cooking today.
The corner of An Yibei's mouth twitched as he watched Qiao Muhao gobble down the food without a care for his image.
After dinner, the three members of the Starry Night Group went upstairs. He asked An Xiaxia to go back to her room to do her homework while he and Qiao Mu went to his room.
Qiao Mu teased, "Xiao Beibei, be careful that I turn into a pervert and pounce on you!"
An Yibei was unmoved. "Have you found anything about the thing I asked you to look into?"
Qiao Mu sighed and returned to his serious look. He took out a document from his bag and handed it over.
"You should have seen the photo from last time. She was really a beautiful and gentle woman … Unfortunately, she died of illness half a year ago …"
An Yibei shuddered. He flipped open the document and saw the death report. His eyes reddened.
"Don't tell Xiaxia."
Qiao Mu couldn't help but say, "She will find out sooner or later."
"At least not now!" An Yibei raised his voice.
Qiao Mu remained silent as sympathy flashed across his eyes.
