No matter how much you explain it, I won't believe you. Xiao Yichen, your shrewdness is too deep, even the people beside you use such shrewdness, are you tired of living? You pretend to be so loyal and devoted in front of me, not even bothering to talk with Xu Liwei, yet you do this behind her back. Xiao Yichen, are you tired?

Xiao Yichen was embarrassed by Si Yu's words, but he kept trying to explain due to face.

"Alright, Xiao Yichen, don't lie to me anymore, I won't believe it, I'll believe you two or three times each time, and I won't foolishly believe you the fourth time. Xiao Yichen, you really disappoint me, why are you pretending to be like this, could it be that it's for the sake of sleeping with me, okay, then your goal was achieved?" After saying that, Si Yu desperately closed the door, started the engine, and drove away.

Xiao Yichen stood in place. He knew that Si Yu would be this excited, he originally thought that even if Si Yu found out, he would be able to calm down.

Right now, his phone had been thrown away by Si Yu, so Xiao Yichen called Xiao Yichen's assistant to buy a new phone for him, and immediately called Si Yu the moment he got his phone. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar call, Si Yu immediately recognized that it was Xiao Yichen and immediately blocked his number, not wanting to hear anything related to Xiao Yichen.

If Xiao Yichen came to find him,he would directly throw him out of the Zuoqi. But what Si Yu did not expect was that Xiao Yichen did not come, even though she said that she did not want to see Xiao Yichen, she still hoped that Xiao Yichen would do something like this, and this was what women did. She did not know what to say, but her eyes were rain for him, and she held an umbrella for him in her heart.

He was definitely not able to go home, and at least not to his parents' place. If he did that, his parents would definitely be worried, and even more so, couldn't go to Xu Mo's place. Could it be that they were destined to sleep in the office tonight?

The sky slowly darkened. Si Yu sat at the desk in a daze, her gaze passed through the glass window and landed on the brightly lit street, causing her to feel very lonely. She thought that Xiao Yichen had completely broken off from her, but she never thought that Xu Liwei's shadow would still be following her throughout her life. Why, why was it so difficult for her to live a simple and loving life with Xiao Yichen? Why did Xu Liwei keep insisting on letting them go? Why couldn't Xiao Yichen do it just because she wasn't around anymore?

She did not know what to do. She had already tried her best to forgive Xiao Yichen time and time again, but she really did not have the ability to do so again, because to Xiao Yichen, what she had seen were all lies. Just at the moment of greatest happiness, Xiao Yichen had always been in contact with him via text, so how could he believe that Xiao Yichen had nothing to do with him?

Linda pushed the door and entered. She saw Si Yu staring blankly at the French windows, and walked over to remind him. "Director Zuo can get off work now."

Si Yu turned around and smiled at Linda, not allowing Linda to see what he was thinking about, "Un, I understand. You can go back first, I'll wait here."

After Linda left, the entire room was surprisingly quiet. Si Yu just stood there without moving, until the sky completely darkened.

The moment Xiao Yichen got off the shift, he went to Zuoqi to wait for Si Yu, but he didn't see Si Yu even after the employees had finished walking, and when he thought that Si Yu might have gone back, he hurriedly drove back. All along the way, he kept thinking about how he would explain to Si Yu that he didn't look for Si Yu today, but that he was afraid that Si Yu might be angry at any moment.

However, when he returned home, Si Yu did not come back. The entire room was completely silent, his own phone was still quietly lying in the aquarium, the room was especially calm. Xiao Yichen was not able to handle the atmosphere.

Today, Zhuang Xuan was invited to attend a party. Today, when Iman had something to do, he went alone, and coincidentally passed through the Zuoqi. When she was waiting for a red light to appear on the street in front of the Zuoqi, Zhuang Xuan raised his head and looked at the building. However, it was already very late today, so she must have been unable to see anything. However, unexpectedly, Zhuang Xuan had actually seen Si Yu's figure through the glass window.

Zuoqi was a very tall building. If it was a normal person, they would not be able to see it, even if they saw it, they wouldn't recognize that it was Si Yu. However, Zhuang Xuan was a secret service agent, there was nothing that he couldn't do.

Seeing Si Yu, Zhuang Xuan's initially cold face immediately revealed a smile, but then thinking about something, why isn't she going back yet, and why is she standing there daydreaming? Thinking about it, Zhuang Xuan immediately drove his car to the plaza in front of the Zuoqi Building, and got Iman to give a call to the party, telling them that he had something to do.

Just like that, Zhuang Xuan parked the car in front of the big building, preparing to wait for Si Yu to come out. He hadn't seen her for a long time, he wanted to look at her up close when Si Yu came out.

In his heart, he told her that she didn't want to sleep alone in the office tonight, so where should she go? She didn't want to go home right now, so she thought of the Sister Nuannuan.

No matter what, Si Yu decided to go out for a walk. Perhaps after taking a walk, she would understand. She wouldn't feel sad anymore; she could sleep alone in the office. Or maybe he understood that if he wasn't angry at Xiao Yichen, he was prepared to go home.

Seeing Si Yu leave the french window, Zhuang Xuan felt a kind of indescribable excitement. Si Yu should be coming out soon, right? Zhuang Xuan drove the car to a place slightly closer to the exit of the car park and waited for Si Yu.

Si Yu also didn't know where he was going. He just wanted to drive the car aimlessly, so maybe his mood would be better. The city was still bustling at night, giving Si Yu a feeling that he had been separated by generations. His mind was still thinking about Xiao Yichen, but now he was no longer angry. More of his thoughts were filled with sorrow and heartache, as he began to explain to Xiao Yichen while looking for a reason to forgive him. Their relationship hadn't come that easily. Thinking about the happy time they had together, how could she just leave like that? Furthermore, there were two families, and they weren't just two people in love anymore.

There was still a night breeze unrestrainedly blowing into her collar and sleeves, as if this was the only way for her to calm down for a while. She drove the car to the edge of the city, wanting to find a quiet place to blow the wind. Right now, her mood simply couldn't be described with words.

Xiao Yichen sat dejectedly on the sofa. He felt that Si Yu would definitely return tonight, so he just sat here and waited, all the way until Si Yu returned, feeling angry in his heart, he was just contacting Xu Liwei and didn't do anything, but because he had promised Si Yu that he wouldn't contact him, it was his fault. However, he felt that he was wrong and wronged, but in order to not make Si Yu sad, he had to do something.

Ten minutes, half an hour, and an hour passed, but Si Yu still did not come back. Xiao Yichen was a little worried that she might encounter some sort of danger, and after thinking for a bit, he called Xu Mo. Xiao Yichen did not want everyone to know about the situation between the two of them, but seeing that Si Yu was still not back yet, he could not care less.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yichen?" Xu Mo's tone was a little impatient. Her impression of Xiao Yichen was not good, and her attitude wasn't very good either.

With Xu Mo's attitude, Xiao Yichen naturally felt uncomfortable. As a man, being said like this by a woman, he took a deep breath, and Xiao Yichen calmed his tone down as he asked: "Is Si Yu at your place?"

"No, you're not here. Did you do something that would let Si Yu down?" Xu Mo asked.

Being questioned like this by Xu Mo, Xiao Yichen felt even more disgusted in his heart. He felt a little resentful towards Si Yu for being too naive, it had always been a matter of two people.

"No, I just can't get through." Xiao Yichen's tone was no longer as good as it was before.

Xu Mo curled her lips in disdain: "Un, let me give her a try." After speaking, she hung up the phone and called Si Yu, but there was no one who picked up either. Xu Mo immediately became anxious, thinking that Si Yu would not even answer her call, maybe she had met with some danger, and wanted to call Xiao Yichen.

"I called her but she didn't answer. Did you guys have a fight?" Xu Mo asked anxiously.

Being asked by Xu Mo, Xiao Yichen had no choice but to admit that they had indeed quarreled.

"It's the same for this Si Yu as well. We can't not pick up the phone even if we're quarreling." Who knew that Xu Mo would not help Si Yu anymore.

"I'll call again and ask, maybe he went home." Xiao Yichen said.

City A was a beautiful water city, with a beautiful moat that was like a jade belt that surrounded the entire old city. Under the night sky, the entire moat was sparkling with light, and as they parked their cars by the river, because it was already very late, no one walked by the river, but they would occasionally pass by the couples that were dating. Si Yu was a little envious of these lovers, they looked so sweet, with eyes that could write their entire lives down, and he thought about himself and Xiao Yichen.

After walking along the dike for a while, Si Yu felt a little tired, so he sat down on a chair by the river. Although it was night time, the entire dike was brightly lit.

Staring at the river in a daze, Si Yu felt that staying here for the night was pretty good. At least right now, her heart wasn't in pain. It was very tranquil, like still. She didn't feel sad nor happy, nor did she feel anything.

Si Yu was in a daze the whole time, not realizing that Zhuang Xuan had walked in.

"You're not going back so late?" Zhuang Xuan walked over with a smile on his face and sat down on the empty seat beside Si Yu.

After recovering his senses, he saw an unfamiliar man sitting beside him. Si Yu was startled, but upon closer inspection, Si Yu recalled that he had met this person at a banquet before and accidentally bumped into him outside the washroom.

Si Yu held his bag tightly and said with some caution, "It's nothing. I'm just taking a stroll."

Zhuang Xuan made sure that Si Yu was on guard against him and did not speak anymore. He just sat there and looked at the moat.

If he hadn't seen him before, he would have thought that he wasn't human. Although Si Yu was a college student with a high education, due to his cowardice, he believed in these things.

"Are you in a bad mood too?" After a period of time, Si Yu probingly asked, thinking that there must be something wrong with those who were able to sit here in the middle of the night.

"Yeah, I'm in a bad mood." Zhuang Xuan replied, his eyes still on the moat, the alloy watch in his hand shining in the light of the street lamps.

Si Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment before continuing, "Why is it that I think you should be more optimistic?" He tried to comfort this man who had only met him twice and completely forgot his worries.

Zhuang Xuan laughed silently in his heart, thinking that although he was clearly troubled, he had actually turned over and comforted others.

"Yeah, what about you? And why are you sitting here? " Zhuang Xuan asked, turning his head to look at Si Yu's side. Such a close distance made his heart race.
