Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Lin Qingxue's voice was very soft, with a lingering, melancholic tone that echoed in the room.

Chen Jianji froze again.

The composure that had been on his face was not just cracked, but almost impossible to maintain.

He suddenly turned his head.

I didn't look at Lin Qingxue's inexplicable eyes.

Drive home? Hotel?

Chen Jianji's mind raced.

How long has it been?

Why bother with that when we've been sleeping in the same bed every day since we got married?

Did Lin Qingxue only just remember this?

How could she bring this up?!

An awkward expression appeared on Chen Jianji's face.

But it quickly returned to normal.

On those nights at the hotel, he would wait until Lin Qingxue was fast asleep before climbing into bed.

She had no idea.

All she knew was that the next morning, she was lying in bed just to wake her up!

Thinking about this...

Chen Jianji slowly turned his head back and said in a deep voice.

"These things aren't important. It's just that it's easier to drive home if you get carsick, and there's scenery to see along the way."

"Killing two birds with one stone."

Lin Qingxue's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.

Then she reached out and pinched the ends of her hair on her shoulder, nodding slightly.

"Yes, I know."

"Is there anything else important you want to know?"

Chen Jianji looked at her calm face.

Hmm... I guess they really didn't remember.

If I remembered, it shouldn't be like this.

Chen Jianji stood up and picked up the backpack on her table.

"Never mind, none of it matters."

"It's time. Even if that guy surnamed Yang is really here, I'll take you back."

"Let's go."

Lin Qingxue was taken aback and subconsciously reached for her phone on the table to check the time.

Hey!

11:55.

Five minutes to go.

Lin Qingxue frowned immediately.

Just as I was about to stay in bed and say something,

Ding ding...

My phone suddenly beeped with a text message notification.

She looked down and was immediately stunned.

Chen Jianji heard it too.

He glanced at it.

It was just an unconscious, ordinary action, without any deeper meaning.

But this one glance.

This made Chen Jianji almost grip the bag in his hand tightly.

The title of that short message was simply two words.

【Ayan】

The room fell into a deathly silence.

It seemed as if even the air itself had stopped moving at that moment.

"Oh..."

Until a cold, soft laugh echoed through the room.

Chen Jianji bent down, about to reach out and grab the woman's arm to ask her to leave.

But Lin Qingxue seemed to have anticipated this.

He stood up straight instantly.

Chen Jianji missed his target, and his eyes immediately darkened.

Just as I raised my eyes to speak.

But there was a purple slider phone in front of me.

at the same time.

A calm voice rang in my ears.

"I haven't opened the message yet. Can I show it to you first? Do you want to check it?"

Chen Jianji paused, then slowly raised his head.

Lin Qingxue was looking down at him, her hand holding the phone in a gesture of handing it out.

There was still an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

Chen Jianji reached out almost instinctively.

It was just the instant my fingertips touched the edge of the phone.

Lin Qingxue pushed the phone back a little, her voice indifferent.

"Ordinary classmates wouldn't be so close as to need to look at each other's phones."

"Think it through."

Chen Jianji's fingers froze in mid-air.

He then came to his senses and instantly withdrew his hand.

He's just used to it.

In her previous life, when Lin Qingxue returned home and wanted to rest for a while, she would always hand him her phone.

They asked me to help them with some company matters.

After all, this is a company.

He was involved too.

Chen Jianji turned his head away and scoffed.

"Nobody wants to see this, don't flatter yourself."

He had just finished speaking.

Lin Qingxue's eyes turned slightly cold as she quickly put her phone away and opened it.

Chen Jianji was amazed by her speed.

Oh...

Sure enough, he never intended to show it to himself.

What are you pretending for?

Wait, that's not right. I never even wanted to watch it!

She got caught in her trap!

Chen Jianji remained silent.

Lin Qingxue stared blankly at the messages the entire time.

Fingers press on the phone's keypad.

It seems to be replying to this text message.

Chen Jianji grew increasingly impatient as he looked at the screen.

He straightened up and said coldly.

"Go outside first, you can hand them out as you walk."

As he spoke, he walked to the door and opened it.

Lin Qingxue then pressed send, glancing at the time in the upper right corner of the screen.

Eleven fifty-eight.

The time spent taking the elevator, plus the time to walk to the front desk.

enough.

But to be on the safe side, let's try to get more time.

Hey!

Lin Qingxue looked up, closed her phone and put it away, then strode forward with a cold expression.

Without the slightest hesitation, he walked out of the room.

Chen Jianji, who was leaning against the door waiting for her to come out, just sneered when he saw this.

"You're smart to know your place."

The two walked one after the other in silence.

Until we reached the elevator.

Lin Qingxue stopped walking, without saying a word or making any movement.

Chen Jianji stepped forward and handed over the backpack he was holding.

"They carry their own bags and don't even press the elevator button when they arrive."

He muttered a complaint and pressed the elevator's up button.

......

Hotel room 501 in front.

"Are you fucking messing with me? You didn't bring your room key?!"

Chen Jianji stood in front of the locked door, pacing back and forth in anger.

"Where's your room key?!"

Lin Qingxue lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

"I was probably in such a hurry to leave when I was eating barbecue that I left it there."

Chan Kin-kei was so angry he almost laughed.

"Are you out of your mind? Have you ever lost anything before?"

"You're definitely drunk and have something wrong with yourself. Who gave you permission to drink?"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Lin Qingxue's arm.

"I really don't want to waste any more time with you, I'm so sleepy."

"Go to the front desk on the first floor and get a new room key, or book another room!"

The two took the elevator again.

Chen Jianji stood expressionless, while Lin Qingxue beside him kept her head down.

She took her phone out of her pocket and glanced at it.

It's past midnight.

The corners of her lips, hidden by her hair, curved slightly.

Absolutely foolproof.

Chen Jianji caught a glimpse of her movements out of the corner of his eye, and his expression grew even colder.

Are you always looking at your phone?

Waiting for that guy surnamed Li to reply?

Seriously, I'm speechless. What kind of message is this, sending messages in the middle of the night?

Isn't this a waste of time?!

Ding!

The elevator doors opened.

Chen Jianji walked straight out, his steps quick.

It was only when I walked to the front desk that I realized...

The overhead lights were off, and the dim moonlight shone coldly on the lobby.

The gate was tightly closed.

But the wind still seemed to be blowing in through the cracks in the glass door.

Chen Jianji stood there, stunned.

......
