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

Fortunately, the young lady's anger subsided after only a few blows.

Chen Jianji finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"By the way, where are Liu Yun and Brother Liu?"

"Brother Liu is looking for a parking space at the hospital entrance, while Liu Yun went to see Lin Qingxue."

Zhang Xinyi glanced at him as she spoke.

"After all, two of you disappeared, so it's just right for one of you to go."

Chen Jianji felt a little strange being looked at by her.

"What kind of look is that? I didn't do anything with her!"

"Did I say anything? What are you feeling guilty about?"

Am I feeling guilty?

"No?"

"cut!"

Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips.

"If you don't have it, you don't have it."

"I'm going downstairs to buy some food, I'm starving! What do you want to eat?"

Chen Jianji couldn't help but ask.

"Do you have money?"

Zhang Xinyi hummed twice.

"I took your bag from your room and it's in the car now. All the money in your bag is mine."

"Oh, by the way, what does Lin Qingxue want to eat? Why don't you ask her on your phone? I've noticed she's been craving meat lately, but is she injured? Should she avoid certain foods?"

Listen to what she has to say.

Chen Jianji fell silent.

"Alright, I'll bring your bag up after I buy the food. You're acting like you're spending millions on me."

Zhang Xinyi couldn't help but complain.

Chen Jianji then came to his senses.

This young lady has misunderstood.

He thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"Xinyi, you can spend time with her, or you can buy her food and be a normal friend."

"Um?"

Zhang Xinyi stared at him blankly.

This is the first time this person has called him by his name so formally.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Did you damage your brain?"

Zhang Xinyi frowned, wanting to reach out and touch his forehead.

Chen Jianji raised his hand to stop him and spoke calmly.

"But don't talk to her about anything related to me in the future."

"My relationship with her ends here."

Upon hearing this...

Zhang Xinyi was slightly taken aback, and after a long while, she tentatively asked.

"Did you two argue again?"

Chen Jianji shook his head.

"No arguing, peaceful..."

He was just about to say "let's break up peacefully."

But then they realized, in a daze, that they had never been together in this lifetime at all.

"We didn't argue. I've already talked to her about it. Just don't make a fuss."

Zhang Xinyi rolled her eyes.

"Tch, who's bothering me!"

I'm ignoring you!

After she finished speaking, she got up, lifted the curtain, and walked outside.

bang~

The room door was closed, not too hard, not too softly.

......

"Liu Yun, why are you standing at the door? Aren't you going in to see what's going on?"

"Xinyi, no. Qingxue said she wants to rest and doesn't want to be disturbed. She must have been frightened. She's probably asleep now. Two traffic police officers went in and talked to her for a few minutes. They said Qingxue's condition wasn't right, and then they left."

"Oh, I see... I was just about to ask her what she wanted to eat."

...

Curled up in the corner of the bed, Lin Qingxue slowly raised her head after hearing the familiar voice.

Two figures were reflected in the frosted glass doorway of the ward.

They were still whispering something.

I can't hear it very clearly anymore.

Lin Qingxue gently rested her chin on her knees.

His eyes were unfocused, staring at a certain point in front of him.

She has always been unwilling to admit what she will do in the future.

A profound sense of powerlessness welled up within me at that moment.

She didn't cry.

I don't even have the strength to shed tears anymore.

She didn't know why she did that.

But the emotions that rise in your heart don't lie.

He didn't want Chen Jianji to go to his office anymore.

I don't want to see him at the company either.

Even when he brings his child along, he can't help but feel a sense of irritation and anger.

This feeling was fleeting.

But it felt incredibly real.

Lin Qingxue curled up even tighter.

It was as if they wanted to shrink themselves into a tiny ball so that no one would notice them.

"So, is it that what has changed isn't him, but truly myself?"

Lin Qingxue murmured softly.

"But..."

She buried her face in her knees, and her trembling voice could be faintly heard.

"That's not me...that's not me..."

She crossed her arms and hugged herself, her head feeling dizzy.

It seems that because of physical weakness, she wants to continue sleeping.

Those memories, however, resurfaced uncontrollably.

She saw the huge office.

That person never came back.

I also saw the glass-partitioned game room, which had never been opened again.

The fitness area, however, is partitioned off.

She herself persists in doing it every day.

Lin Qingxue sat in her office chair.

Looking at the empty office, she couldn't tell if it was her or herself in her dream, and a void filled her heart.

"This is good."

She heard her own voice.

Sizzle...

A sharp pain shot through my arm.

Lin Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes, her forehead already soaked with sweat.

The view before me returned to the dimly lit hospital room.

Even the curtains in the windows were drawn tightly shut.

All I could see were her arms crossed.

Her fingernails dug deep into her clothes, scratching back and forth.

The stinging pain brought her back to her senses.

It also prevented her from dreaming about those things.

This moment.

A pale smile crept onto Lin Qingxue's face.

She used to always look forward to dreams.

Have you ever imagined it would turn out like this?

She used to envy the version of herself in her dreams.

But now, I don't want to be her.

Lin Qingxue took a deep breath and reached out to grope at the bedside table.

He picked up his backpack.

This is the schoolbag that the traffic police just returned to her.

Lin Qingxue unzipped the zipper and rummaged inside, taking out a box.

It's a box of steam eye masks.

It can soothe the skin and blood vessels around the eyes.

Even if you have insomnia, it can help relieve fatigue to some extent.

There are five pieces in this box.

The first one, she gave to that person in the hotel room.

The second film is in the car.

She still remembers the feeling of the person putting it on her eyes with their own hands, their fingers brushing against her eyelids.

Lin Qingxue opened the box, picked up a lens, and gently placed it on her eye.

My vision was completely plunged into darkness.

But then a warm sensation followed.

Just like that person.

They're still by my side.
