“Oh,” Jun Shiyan replied softly. He seemed to have thought of something, He leaned back on the sofa again and closed his eyes. His voice was very low and hoarse as he muttered to himself, “She left a long time ago. I was being silly.”
Xu Xi looked at the lonely man in front of him and sighed in his heart. He covered him with a blanket and whispered, “Third Master, you should go back to your room to sleep!”
Jun Shiyan hummed in acknowledgment. He did not know if he had heard him or not, but he turned to look in the direction of the door. In the past, he would always see her slippers on the left side of the entryway. She was in a rush when she went out in the morning and would often leave her slippers in
the house.
And now, the house was empty. There was nothing left of her, not even her scent.
However, he always had the illusion that she kept appearing in front of his eyes, shuffling along with her pink and tender slippers. The sound of her brushing against the ground was always very loud.
Sometimes, when he accidentally bumped into her in the living room, he would see her either rolling her eyes at him angrily or giving him a fake smile.
For a moment, he even felt that even if she had never treated him well, as long as she was here, everything would be fine.
The surrounding air was very quiet even though the rain was still falling, Since they came here, the rain seemed to have never stopped.
He turned his head and looked out of the dark window. Through the huge window, he could still see the fruit trees that she and her son had planted in the backyard. According to Xu Xi, they were peach and pomegranate trees.
Two small saplings swayed in the wind and the rain, giving off an indescribable loneliness.
His heart ached, felt stuffy and empty. This place seemed to have been empty ever since she’d left.
Habits were such a scary thing. It had only been less than a week, but that damn woman had invaded his heart, disrupted his life, and then walked away irresponsibly.
Xu Xi stood at the door and watched the man stare blankly at the backyard for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up and walked out without even putting on his coat.
The pajamas were also bought by Miss Ling. When she was around, the Third Master had never worn them. On the day she left, he suddenly found and wore them.
“Third Master.” Xu Xi chased after him with an umbrella and handed him a windbreaker. He didn’t dare to ask where he was going and just followed behind him like a shadow.
Jun Shiyan did not drive either. He only told Xu Xi to go back and not follow him. Holding an umbrella, he walked along the path that she would take every day when she returned home. Looking at the scenery she saw every day, his restless heart suddenly calmed down.
Xu Xi did not dare to go back, much less get close to him. He kept a certain distance from him and sighed as he watched the man’s lonely back.
‘What exactly was their relationship? To be able to turn a man like the Third Master, who could conquer every obstacle, into such a despondent state.
Miss Ling was really capable. After she left, she really never came back. She didn’t even ask about the Third Master.
He felt that Miss Ling either really did not care about Third Master or was still playing hard to get.
But An Yan assured him that the child in Miss Ling’s stomach was Third Master’s. What was going on?
On the set, Ji Fanchen and Cheng Ye finished their work. After changing their clothes, the two of them came out with an umbrella and prepared to retumn to the hotel.
Cheng Ye’s eyes were sharp. Just as he stepped out of the door, he saw a man standing opposite him. He tugged at Ji Fanchen’s clothes, lowered his voice, and gritted his teeth fiercely. “Brother Chen, it’s that heartless man who bullied Sister Sheng Sheng.”
Ji Fanchen followed his gaze and realized that the man opposite him seemed to have noticed them. His gaze was cold and dangerous.
He met his gaze fearlessly and nodded at him with a polite smile.
Cheng Ye was very angry, he clenched his fists and defended Ling Sheng. “Brother Chen, how could he do this? When he was pursuing Sister Sheng Sheng initially, I thought he was a good person. How did he become like this?”
Ji Fanchen said softly, “He hasn’t awakened, so he doesn’t know anything.”
Cheng Ye grunted in anger, he was unconvinced. He met his gaze and said, “But before you awakened, you were not as cold and heartless towards Sister Sheng Sheng and me. He is still Sister Sheng Sheng’s lover. How can he forget the person in his heart so easily!”
Ji Fanchen thought about it for a moment and shook his head in amusement when he saw how indignant he was. “If he didn’t feel anything, he wouldn’t be standing there!”
“Then if he has feelings for her, why did he hurt Sister Sheng Sheng’s heart?” Cheng Ye still did not understand. Even if the two of them did not remember each other, love would always exist. He asked him, “Then why did you choose this script back then?”
This script was about a boys’ love film, so it didn’t do Brother Chen much good. He had his own business and earned a lot of money, so he didn’t care about the entertainment industry’s remuneration.
Ji Fanchen’s lips curled into a warm smile. “Cheng Ye.”
Why? He thought about it for a moment. When he saw the title of the script initially, he felt touched, so he immediately decided to accept this script.
Cheng Ye, the little fool, did not realize the meaning of this sentence. He has a one-track mind. He looked angrily at the man not far away and snorted. “Look, you remember everything, but he doesn’t know anything.”
Ji Fanchen really did not know how to answer. It was impossible to say that the Third Master did not have feelings for her. Otherwise, he would not have let Sheng Sheng stay at his house, send her food, and visit her.
‘When Jun Shiyan did not see the person he wanted to see, his heart felt empty again. It was as if there was a place of emptiness in his heart. The cold wind blew past and it was so cold that his body was about to freeze.
He did not know if he was crazy. Why did he have to care about her? Why was his mind filled with her shadow every moment? It was as if he was under a spell, like a shadow that could not be removed.
Ji Fanchen and Cheng Ye did not speak much. When they looked again, the man opposite them had already disappeared as if he had never appeared.
From the film set to the hotel, it was less than a ten minutes’ journey, so they would walk back slowly every time.
Just as they reached the entrance of the hotel, they saw Ling Sheng rushing down. She held an umbrella and was about to rush out. When she saw them, she stopped in her tracks. “I have prepared food in the kitchen, and there’s soup in the pot. You two eat first.”
“Sister Sheng Sheng, where are you going?” Cheng Ye shouted.
After Ling Sheng had rushed far away, she tuned around and said, “T’l go to the useless man’s place to get what I left behind..”
